Dog Walkers in Western Springs, IL

“I am so happy to be able to rely on the fact that James is extremely punctual. He is here every morning at the designated time. He has been patient with my small dog, who has a preference for women and has had to grow accustomed to a male dog walker. James has given him space and encouragement.”

“John was great! Very reliable, came early the first time to meet a get a feel for Trixie’s behavior before her walk. Always on time and very personable. I would hire him again without hesitation. Thanks, John!”

“Jayme is the best. Jayme takes great care of Murray during the week, and we can tell he has extra pep in his step when he knows its a walk day.”

“Morgan and John were lifesavers taking our chompy little puppy for a nice long walk to burn some energy in the middle of the day when we had to return back to work full time. We’ll definitely be using them again!”

About: I’ve grown up and taken care of dogs ever since I was little. I would say I’m knowledgeable on dog training and have a lot of experience with all different types of dogs. I love to walk and pet pups so hopefully we can be good match!! I’m currently working part-time in the afternoon (3-6) so I have lots of free time to check in or walk your pet. I have owned Goldens my entire life so training a high-energy dog is something I’m experienced in. I’m all about creating a safe and enriching environment for dogs, so I’m open to adapting to your pets daily routine.

“I always feel so much more at ease when Stephanie checks in on my little lady Lilah when I have a long day at work! And Lilah is a much happier camper when I get home.”

“Brittney was awesome. Loved meeting with her and Luna loves her. Sent me tons of pics and wore my puppy so she will sleep while I am at work.”

Colleen R.

“Tamara is so patient with our anxious dog! Our dog warmed up so quickly to Tamara and its a relief knowing our pup will be looking forward to walks while we are away at work. Tamara sends great updates and leaves notes to let us know how our dog is doing while we are at the office. She even came for a meet and greet to make sure our dog felt safe with her before her first walk.”

About: I’ve had experience with dogs since I was a child, along with many other types of animals. I’ve always loved caring for pets and my goal is to some day own an animal farm. You can trust your pet is in good hands, as I have 3 of my own that mean the world to me. My day revolves around pets care, it is definitely my first priority over anything else. Not only is there time to walk, but there is definitely time to play! Animals each need time dedicated to them individually and should feel special. We have a 3 story house, with a beautiful back yard. A cleaning crew keeps our house spotless and free from any pet dangers. You can trust your pet is in good hands when staying with us.

“Isabell was so flexible last minute for us! It was our first time using Rover and she was extremely helpful. She was on time, very friendly, and our pup loved walking with her. We will definitely use her again!”

About: I am very caring and compassionate for animals and pets. I have a cat of my own named Bruni and he is my best friend. Attentive and reliable pet care is assured with me as your pet sitter! I work as a teacher so my morning and afternoons are busy up until 3:30pm. However, I am available after those hours. I do have days off due to breaks, for example, winter break, where I can be reliable all day during those times. I have a cat of my own that I attend to 24/7. Therefore, I am very familiar with pets’ needs. I will assure you great communication and punctuality.

About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have always had a natural connection with them. Friends and family often joke that I’m a “dog whisperer” because dogs tend to warm up to me quickly and feel comfortable right away. I’ve also been living with my girlfriend’s dog for over 2 years, helping with daily care, routines, and building trust... to the point where the dog now chooses to sleep with me. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I make sure every dog feels safe, relaxed, and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also happy to follow any specific routines or instructions you have. I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to be available throughout the day for check ins, walks, and quality time with your pet. I’m able to stop by during typical work hours as well as mornings, evenings, and weekends. I make pet care a priority and ensure your dog gets consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific routines your pet is used to. I’m attentive and make sure your home and your pet stay safe and secure at all times. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident everything is going smoothly while you’re away.

“She is absolutely amazing! She follows instructions perfectly, communicates quickly and clearly, and always prioritizes safety. I really appreciate how she reinforces our dog’s training and handles dogs with so much care and confidence. We trust her completely and feel very lucky to have found her. Highly recommend!”

About: I've lived with 1+ pets for the majority of my life, and feel quite strongly that life is exponentially better with a furry friend by your side. I have experience working with anywhere from 1 to 8 animals at a time, including dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, and some limited work with reptiles. I am comfortable administering medical care to animals as instructed, in addition to providing enrichment, activity, and general TLC to your fur babies. I am flexible with my scheduling, and am happy to provide overnight care. I will be working part-time this summer, which will allow me to be flexible with and attentive to your fur babies' needs! I can do overnight stays, in-house only. I am currently living in an apartment, so while I would not be able to house your pets overnight, I am comfortable with in-home, overnight care and/or thorough and frequent visits throughout the day, and have reliable transportation to do so. I approach pet care with respect for household and animal boundaries and dispositions; I strive to help maintain routine and comfort levels for each and every animal in my care. Long walks, park visits, appointment drop-off/pick-up, etc., I'm very willing and able to help keep your critters comfy while you're away!

About: UPDATE JULY 2024, PLEASE READ: If you see that my reply time is incredibly slow, it's because my account was inactive for a while due to my dad being hospitalized. I had to help care for him for a long period of time and I was unable to reply to any messages on Rover. My dad is okay now and I am available for walks and sitting again. I was a dog groomer for almost 2 years. I'm well-trained in animal safety. I care deeply about all animals, so I'll form a bond with your animals. I'm currently unemployed, so I'll have loads of time to provide love for your animals of any kind! Just let me know what you need/what you're looking for! I understand the basics of taking care of dogs, cats and other animals just like most pet sitters. But I also provide what some sitters don't: love! I'm very sweet and I can give your animals great love and care. Plus, I'll provide some pretty amazing photos of them. If anything out of the ordinary does happen, I will do my best to help and I will contact you immediately.

“Kristin is dependable and kind. We are so happy she takes care of our dog.”

About: I've helped to take care of both dogs and cats for many years, including pets of my own as well as those of friends and family. I currently don’t have pets of my own, but I grew up with a beagle-dachshund and a cat. I'm very responsible and organized and care deeply for animals. I'm recently graduated as a Doctor of Physical Therapy and am looking for some work this summer while I study for my boards exam and putting to use my love for animals! They will be in excellent hands with me! I currently have pretty wide open availability as I study for my boards exam, so I should be able to be flexible and work with your schedule! I can cater to whatever your needs are for the safety of your pet. I will take great care of your pets, whatever that entails for you.
