“Gwendolyn went above and beyond to help us in a bind with our best boy! She gave him a good walk, refilled his bowl with fresh water and even gave him some snackies to hold him over until we got home. On top of that she spent time after the walk to love on him for a while! 10/10 and will be using her again!!”
About: Hello, my name is Ayla. I have been taking care of a variety of pets my entire life. Whether that be my own, my families, or my neighbors. I started working in the pet industry when I was 17. I have worked at stores like Petco and Petsmart. I take a great interest in POSITIVE dog training, and grainfree dog food and treats. I believe our loved ones deserve the best we can offer. My pets are my family and I will always treat other animals the way I treat my own. With love, compassion and patience. I have never been a groomer but I love giving pets a good brushing to keep their coat clean and tangle free. Currently my family consists of three large dogs and two kittens we rescued from the side of the road. I currently am a stay at home dog mom so I can easily adjust plans and care for your pets. I would love for you to consider hiring me. Please note, for house sittings I am willing and prefer to stay at your house. I believe this helps reduce stress and anxiety. I aim to replicate the care and companionship you would give your fur baby. Available every day and any time, I typically have appointments in the afternoon. I take care of my 4 animals while my husband works and study herbalism in my free time. Whenever I take care of another pet I treat them as my own. With tons of pets and love! I will respect your home and leave it as I found it or better. I like to give dogs walk and play with them while I am visiting.
About: Hi! While your gone away you can be sure your dog will get the love and care of a full family, we are up at 7am for a health breakfast and by 9 we’re out to hike a 1.5 mile trail full of wild life and beautiful views for your pup to see and experience. By 11 we’re back home for a bit of rest before lunch. Then comes nap time! The long walk usually tires the doggies out. After a few hrs they are up again for more playtime, usually hands on with the family, games like tug and fetch. This leads us to dinner around 6 and a bit more attention before our 8:30 bed time. Every day your pup is with us is an adventure they will be sure to enjoy just as much as the vacation your taking! My wife works from home and I walk dogs and manage the boarding 24/7. It’s always been a dream job if mine to be able to spend all day taking care of dogs and now I’m finally living that dream! I have a huge fenced in yard but the dogs will only be out there to use the bathroom. Maybe later in the day for some fetch but mostly the dogs will be inside with us. Also our morning walk is about 1-2 hrs long and that take a lot out of the dogs leaving them easy to manage most of the rest of the day.
“Isabella was great. We had just adopted a deaf dog from a shelter,. we didn’t know how he would react to her but she did so well with him and made sure he was comfortable before approaching him . She helped us with our pup not having any accidents which was a big relief.”
“Sophia was wonderful! She was quick to reply to our request and asked thoughtful questions about our preferences. She spent extra time on her walks with our pup to make sure he got his energy out. She is also one of the only people who has gotten our dog to smile in photos! He is photogenic but scared of the camera. We got some very sweet and special shots from Sophia during her time with him. We can’t wait to have Sophia help us again in future!”
About: I have been a Petco certified dog trainer since I was 18 and have dog/house sat many times since! I treat your dog like family and your home with respect! I am flexible! I am available Mondays and Thursdays all day. Saturdays I get off work at 2:00pm I work 9-5 during the rest of the days of the week. But I always need an excuse to use PTO so watching your fur baby won’t be problem! I just need a two week notice Quality time will be spent with your fur baby to make sure they keep busy. Plenty of playtime and mental stimulation. I love using puzzle toys, snuffles and other things to get a dogs mind working!
“Sara is an absolute delight and my two Havanese love her! The pictures are great and show them happy and playing during their visit as well as during their walk. I will continue to have use her services.”
“Danya is thorough and reliable. Abbey (my new rescue) walks well with Danya and is very comfortable with her. I have back to back days where Danya is able to help with Abbey, I’m so grateful to rely on her great care and follow through with Abbey.”
“I am a Rover sitter/walker myself that was in need of some help walking my doggie. I reached out to Blakely because of her amazing reviews and fortunately, she was more than willing to help! :-) I’m a firm believer in meet and greets prior and Blakely was very prompt and flexible with doing so! She is very polite, good with my Charlie girl (doggie), and professional. If am ever in need of a walker again myself, I will most definitely ask Blakely! :-)”
About: I am a firm believer that our pets are our family, and each individual pet deserves individual care, respect and love! I am meticulous with details and ensure that a beloved pet’s routine is kept as consistent as possible under my care. I’ve owned cats since I was 8yrs old, and also had hermit crabs, Leopard geckos, and tarantulas. My family never had space for a dog, so I walked and played with my neighbors dogs while growing up. Once I reached my 20s, I’ve volunteered for years at no-kill shelters back in TN, trained on how to clean, socialize and care for dogs. I have just moved to Northern Illinois and wasn’t able to transfer my job up here. So I want to make my job caring for your family! I am available Saturday - Wednesday. I am very detail oriented and respect every pet owner’s instructions and wishes to the letter. Pets deserve consistency with their established routines! In the absence of instructions or an emergency, I have years of hands-on pet care to fall back on and use reliable judgement so your pet will always receive the best care possible.
“Lindsey was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and she matched our needs perfectly. Lindsey came over so we could meet before which was perfect. She bonded almost immediately with our two dogs. They loved her! We will use her again. I really appreciate her daily updates and pictures. We could be at ease knowing that they were being cared for. Thank you Lindsey!”
About: I have had dogs since I was a young kid. Always took part in their care growing up. Currently have 3 golden retrievers and a cat. Youngest dog is 2.5 and oldest is 14. A lot of experience with all ages I work from home so it’s easy to pop in for a walk or to let your pet out. Very active so walking your pet is no problem I watch pets in other folks house since mine is pretty full with my 3 dogs. Just leave any additional info that would help your pets be more comfortable in my presence
About: Iva had a dog since I was young and had a cat too. What better way to earn some extra cash then by spending time with mans best friend! My experience is based on being a pet owner for many years. I currently have two dogs, one small and one very large. I enjoy walking them, playing with them and cuddling them. I talk to my dogs all the time too! I’m a huge fan of positive reinforcement and Earning their trust thru kindness and the reward system. I’m trustworthy, honest and will treat your pet with the greatest care. They deserve only the best as they are members of the family too.

About: From the beginning, my wife and I have shared a love for pets, especially dogs. I formed a home where our first child was a furry, four-legged friend. This beloved first canine child strengthened my love and taught me profound parenting skills, and I have passed that legacy on to our two teenage children and our three-year-old son. I formed a home where the love for our dogs is genuine and sincere. That's why caring for your puppies is my responsibility, and I take it very seriously. I have extensive experience caring for all types of dogs, breeds, and ages, and we carefully study their different and unique personalities and needs. I treat them with love and respect. From the moment your dog enters our home, he/she becomes another member of my family. Rest assured that he'll share unique and memorable spaces with each member of my family and will be a part of my family routine without exception. My home is a loving, personalized, safe, and warm home for your dog. Depending on your needs, I accommodate and strive to make our four-legged friend feel at home with us.
About: I've been volunteering at pet shelters since I was 15. I'm a retired military veteran who just loves dogs. When taking care of your dog I can take them out on runs or on long walks depending on your request. If your dog prefers to cuddle on the couch that could easily be arranged too! Growing up I had three dogs and know how they are important members of the family. They hold a special place in our hearts and I will give them the utmost respect, love and care while taking care of them. I will do my very best to make sure your fur baby is well taken care of, so well that they will be barking to have me come back! Also if you choose me to dog sit expect lots of dog pictures! I love doing photoshoots! I'm going to school part time so I have a very flexible schedule when it comes to drop in visits or walking! For home stays please let me know early in advance! With walks I'm aware and will physically check the temperatures of sidewalks to ensure the safety of your dog's paws. I'm also always on the lookout for broken glass or trash that might cut their paws. If requested I also don't mind taking dogs to local trails for a nature walk!

Nicholaus G.
“Hiring Nick was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my dog—and for my peace of mind. From day one, Nick showed an incredible level of professionalism, kindness, and genuine care for my pup. He didn’t just walk my dog, he connected with him, learned his quirks, and made every outing an adventure. He is always on time, communicates clearly, and sends updates and photos that always put a smile on my face. He’s gone above and beyond more than once such as staying a little extra when my dog seemed anxious, or bringing in a package when I was out. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like family, who is dependable, trustworthy, and truly loves what he does, you don’t need to look any further. Nick is hands-down the best dog walker I’ve ever had.”
