“Amanda was great! We have a small, super friendly but high energy dog that will not sleep through the night unless she’s had enough exercise. Inanna slept through the night after just one 30 minute walk with Amanda. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Teffni was great! She was always on time, friendly, and my dog Chai was so comfortable with her. Chai was always excited to go with Teffni and always came back good and tired out.”
“Anton has been walking our Pittie, Mihoshi, for months, and he is an excellent walker!! He’s very attentive to our pup’s behavior and communicates thoroughly. If we ever need to make adjustments, he is flexible. If he has upcoming plans, he informs us weeks in advance so we can work out the schedule together. I couldn’t recommend him more if you’re looking for a walker or sitter for your furry friend. :)”
About: I had a cat for most of my life (3 cats over many years, each lived to 16 years old) and have now had a sweet pitbull since 2020. I've always loved animals and love caring for them with respect. I work from home most of the time and go downtown two days/week but those days are flexible and, even on those days, I'd be available for a morning and/or evening or late-night walks. I'm happy to care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I'll follow your instructions closely to keep their routine as normal as possible—whether that’s feeding, walks, medication, or cuddle time. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I won't just run in and drop the food--I will enjoy spending some quality time with your pet (if they want!) You can count on me to be on time, respectful of your home, and to keep you updated with notes and photos as much as you like so you can always know your pet is in good hands.
About: I have over a decade of hands-on experience, including 9 years of working for (and eventually managing) a family pet-sitting business and 6 years working in animal welfare. I’ve walked dogs of all sizes and temperaments, provided specialized care for senior pets and shy animals, and fostered both cats and dogs—including those with special needs and those recovering from neglect or trauma. I’m also experienced with small animals, particularly rabbits and hedgehogs. With this background, I bring both expert knowledge and heartfelt care to every visit. Being self-employed, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day and week. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I’m able to adapt to each pet’s routine. I enjoy making time for animals—it’s a rewarding part of my day and something I genuinely look forward to. I prioritize creating a peaceful, calm, and nurturing environment in each client’s home. I always follow the pet’s routine closely, including feeding, medications, and house rules, and I make sure doors and gates are secure before and after each visit. During walks, I stay alert to surroundings and take care to avoid situations that could stress or endanger the pet. I focus on building trust—both with animals and their humans—by being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs.
“Michael walked our two big dogs for all of the college football games we attended this season. He was always on time and took our dogs for a nice long walk. He has helped us out many times and has always been very professional and caring with our dogs.”
About: Hey folks! I started pet-sitting and walking dogs at the ripe old age of 10. Since then I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles, fish and just about everything in between. For the past 11 years I've actually been working at zoos! I've also spent some time in a grooming salon. You may be wondering ok, what does this crazy zoo lady know about dogs? Well, I started with dogs, I love dogs and I have a dog. I have the observation skills to pick up on any irregularities in your baby’s behavior, the strength to hold on to ANY leash, the stamina to go on long walks at a brisk pace and the training skills to help you and your kiddo work on everything you need to. Give me a shout and I’ll be happy to help care for your critter! I'm currently on the job hunt which leaves the majority of each day free to take care of your animals. I am open to morning, lunchtime and evening visits. I can even do a late-night last out. In my home all pets are family. I have a cat, dog and frogs inside the house and each and every one is treated like a family member. I take that mentality with me when entering your home.
“Melika is very communicative and does a fantastic job. I’m very pleased with the work she does and the loving way she cares for Loki. I hope I get to use her services frequently.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I grew up with two dogs, two cats, and a bird. I have many years experience pet sitting as well as grooming and a bit of training. I work from home, so I am able to keep a constant eye on your pets (: I’m also able to take your pets for long, frequent walks, and take them to a nearby park if that’s something you’re comfortable with! I work from home, and I love going out for walks. Depending on you and your let’s needs, I can take them out as frequent as you’d like. I also have a dog park right next to my complex that I love to go visit. I live in an apartment, but the complex is gated and fenced in around the courtyard and pet grooming station. The complex itself is very safe- no one can enter without a key fob.
“Azucena is fantastic! She paid close attention to whatever my dog Hazel needed, is very on top of it, is communicative as needed, and provided updates after each walk. I would recommend Azucena!”
“We hired Emily for several months to walk our newly adopted dog twice a week. Emily was great! She always arrived at the scheduled time, was courteous and professional, and our dog was so much happier after being walked by her. We couldn’t have found a better dog walker! Definitely would recommend her to anyone in the area.”
About: Hi! I’m Samantha—a lifelong cat mom turned devoted dog guardian who genuinely loves caring for all kinds of pets. I’ve raised cats since infancy and currently share my home with Childeric, my bold brat-king, and Jicama, my gentle snuggle shadow. I understand cats deeply and meet them where they are—whether they need play, space, or lap time. My love of dogs began helping my dad train his Aussie, Crockett, and now I’m raising my own pup, Noodle! While I’m still learning, I bring consistency, curiosity, and tons of love to every walk and tail wag. Thoughtful, responsible, and empathetic, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. Whether your pet craves adventure or quiet company, I offer cozy, attentive care like they’re family. Working from home also means I’m flexible and present when your pet needs me most. Pet care is part of my daily rhythm. I work from home and care for my own cats and dog, so I’m always tuned in to feeding, playtime, walks, and comfort. I’m flexible, consistent, and love making pets feel safe and cared for throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, giving oral medication, or just offering calm companionship, pet care is something I prioritize with love and consistency. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making the experience as comfortable and consistent as possible. I follow your pet’s routine closely—meals, playtime, potty breaks or litter care, medication, and any special needs—while also tuning in to their emotional well-being. Whether your pet thrives on cuddles, calm companionship, or active enrichment, I adjust my care to suit their unique personality. For dogs, I offer enriching walks tailored to their pace and energy level. I’m attentive to leash manners, neighborhood safety, and making each outing a positive experience—whether it's a quick potty break or a leisurely sniff adventure. I respect your space and your pet’s boundaries, always aiming to maintain a peaceful, familiar environment while you’re away. My goal is to give your pets not just care, but comfort—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands.

Wheaton dog parents share their Rover experiences
Andrea did daily walks with our dog and always took great care of her! She was always super communicative if any updates to our schedule needed to be made, and had great knowledge and recommendations for ways to improve our dogs behavior during walks. We would definitely recommend!
Liza is amazing and understands difficult dog behavior. We have an anxious dog who usually takes a while to warm up to new people which makes finding a dog sitter more challenging. Liza was patient with our dog and got him to more or less accept her on the first visit. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.
I can’t thank Mikala enough for the incredible care and attention she gave my dog. From thoughtful updates to genuine affection, it’s clear she truly loves what she does. My pup came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly adored. Reliable, kind, and professional—highly recommend Mikala to anyone looking for top-tier care!
Kirk has been an amazing weekly walker for our dog Scout over the past few months. He is professional, compassionate, and reliable. Scout is nervous around most people and Kirk takes the time and care to make him feel cared for. Kirk always provides excellent updates from our walks. And I have peace of mind knowing that Kirk takes care of our dog like we do when we are at work. Thank you so much, Kirk!
