“Fred has been an absolute blessing to our family. Moochy like him immediately and trusted him. She’s usually pretty skittish. Fred was always on time, willing to be flexible if needed, and was just really good with Moochy. I needed someone who was strong to walk mooch because she’s big and strong. Fred had no trouble with it. I had absolute faith in Fred’s ability to handle her. And when Mooch saw his car pull up, she was so happy. I have no trouble recommending Fred to be your dog walker.”

“Thank you for walking amber again. She is always so excited to walk with someone other than me and she loves it when you take her to the park. Hope you continue to enjoy Amber”

“Hayley was patient with Jillian as she’s gotten older and a bit stubborn on her walks. There was also medication this time and Hayley was great with making sure Jilly was taken care of. Loved all the photos.”
About: I've taken care of cats my whole life, and I know that each one has their own personalities. I'm patient, having taught my own cats basic commands that they generally listen to. I have experience with diabetic and senior felines as well. My experience doesn't stop with felines, though, I've cared for many kinds of animals over the years. Among them are snakes, rats, mice, hamsters, lizards, rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, fresh water fish, small birds, and dogs. I work part time, but my ultimate goal is to make pet sitting my main career. I've always preferred being around and taking care of animals. I treat animals how I'd want to be treated if i was in their paws, and same with people and their property. Always leave a place as good or better than you found it.

“Had the opportunity to have Jaime watch my dog overnight after using Jaime as a walker. I can tell you we couldn't be more pleased after having Ernie spend 3 nights at Jaime's house.”

About: I’ve worked at my local animal shelter for the past three summers as well as interning at a couple of vet clinics. I’m confident in reading animal cues and providing based on pets’ needs. I have a great passion for taking care of animals, especially those that you hold near and dear. I’m currently home for the summer and fitting in Rover during my free weekdays. I am flexible and will do everything I can to adjust to your preferred schedule! I prioritize your individual pets’ needs. Care will be completed in a timely manner, respectfully, and with utmost care towards your pet. Feel free to send instructions or details about your pet so I can best provide for them!

“Julia was wonderful with our dogs, and her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She was incredibly patient, quickly bonded with them, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets. We highly recommend Julia and would gladly have her care for our dogs again! Shannon”
“We couldn’t be happier with Jennifer! She walks our 90 pound dog, Willow, who can be very skittish and isn’t always comfortable around other dogs. From the very beginning, she has been incredibly patient, calm, and understanding with Willow, taking the time to build trust at Willow’s pace. She always provides detailed updates after each walk, which gives us so much peace of mind. We love hearing how Willow did and any little wins along the way. It’s clear she genuinely cares and pays close attention to Willow’s needs and behavior. She’s also been very reliable, communicative, and flexible when needed. Knowing our large, sometimes nervous dog is in such capable and caring hands means everything to us. We highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional dog walker, especially if your dog needs a little extra understanding like ours does.”
“Grace was wonderful for our pet. I needed her for an out of town get away! Ariel loved her. Grace was very nice, attentive, and communicative relative to our dogs needs. Thank you Grace! I would highly recommend Grace for your pets needs!”

“Nicole is awesome! She is very good with dogs. She bonded with our dog Milo for a week. Milo loves walking with her. I'm so glad we found her last minute. She was a great help. We would definitely recommend her.”

About: Had dogs when I was young, now my wife and I have two cats. I've also lived with birds, rabbits, and rats, via roommates over the years. I'm an independent developer looking to supplement my savings while working on a personal project. I can make my schedule work around yours and provide the care you need. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pets, and I know what a breath of relief a good sitter is. I'm attentive and careful.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for the last 7-8 years for my family, friends, and neighbors. They have trusted me with walking, feeding, and overall loving their furry friends! When my family first got our dog in 2020, I assisted in training him and learning how to take care of a puppy. I have also helped to take care of my roommates pet dog and cat in these last few months as well! During the summer of 2024, my dog suddenly went paralyzed and lost function of his back legs. We had to learn how to take care of him and walk him using unconventional ways, while teaching him how to learn to walk again, so I have experience with a dog who has been partially disabled (but he has regained his ability to walk and is doing great!!) I recently graduated from Miami University, Ohio with my masters degree in speech-language pathology. I just moved back to Illinois and am looking to do some dog walking and pet care/love this summer before starting a new job in the schools this upcoming August as a speech-language pathologist. I will adhere to any requests that the client has. I am willing to put them in their crates, give them treats, play with them in the yard, or go for a nice long walk with them. It really comes down to the clients preference and I will stick to their normal routine!!
“Jessica did an amazing job walking my pitbull! She was punctual, professional, and clearly experienced with handling dogs. My pup came back happy and well-exercised. She was also very communicative, giving me updates during the walk, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Jessica is professional and kind. My dog liked her upon meeting her. She is good with messaging promptly. She has followed my requests for how to go about interacting with my dog and locking up the house. 5 stars!”


About: Hi, I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and overnight pet sitting for friends. I’ve cared for dogs in home settings, taken them on walks and runs, and understand how important it is to keep pets safe, active, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m 25, I have my B.S. in biology, and have a naturally attentive, calm, and responsible approach to animal care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel cared for, exercised, and at ease. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just some extra company and consistency, I’m happy to meet their needs. I recently returned from traveling and currently have very open availability over the next few months before relocating to California, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I'm looking forward to connecting with you and your furry loved ones (: I currently have a very flexible schedule and open availability, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and overnight care throughout the week. I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and for last-minute bookings when needed. My schedule is especially open over the next couple months, so I’m able to be dependable, flexible, and give your pet plenty of time and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I make it a priority to follow each dog’s routine closely so they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, exercise needs, potty breaks, and any specific instructions you provide, and I always make sure pets are supervised, safe, and getting the attention they need. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both your space and your pet’s routine, keeping their environment calm, clean, and familiar. I pay close attention on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure dogs are secure, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. My goal is always to create a safe, dependable, and low-stress experience for both pets and owners.
