“Our Dog took to Scott almost instantaneously! Which is very unusual as he is typically very timid and shy at first. Scott did a great job following instructions and had a great walk with little Carl! I would highly recommend Scott and we definitely will be using him again in the future!”

“Yuliia was absolutely amazing! She kept our two pitbull mix pups happy, made sure they had adequate water and snacks, played with them and took great videos/pictures. Tails were wagging and the humans were put at ease that she was taking great care of them. Would DEFINITELY recommend hiring Yuliia to take care of your pets and we will certainly be using her again in the future:)”

About: I started and successfully managed my own dog walking business at the age of 15, serving clients throughout my local neighborhood. Over time, I built a loyal client base of more than 20 regular customers and provided a range of services, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and occasional bathing. This experience helped me develop strong time management skills, reliability, and a deep understanding of pet care. I currently have full availability and am eager to meet new dogs while continuing to provide dependable, high-quality care. As a welcome offer, new clients will receive $20 off their first booking with me. I am also happy to assist with basic dog training upon request, reinforcing positive behaviors during visits. While I do not have a yard available, I focus on providing attentive, active care through structured walks and drop-in visits to ensure each dog receives proper exercise, stimulation, and attention. In addition to dogs, I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of reptiles and exotic pets. I understand their unique environmental needs, including maintaining proper temperature gradients, humidity levels, and lighting. I have worked with species such as snakes, lizards, and other small exotics, ensuring their enclosures are clean, safe, and enriching. I am also knowledgeable about specialized diets, including live feeding, supplementation, and species-specific nutrition. I carefully monitor animal behavior and can recognize early signs of stress or illness. My approach emphasizes patience, consistency, and minimizing stress during handling and daily care routines. I am comfortable following detailed instructions and adapting to each pet’s individual personality and needs. Overall, I am committed to providing attentive, responsible, and knowledgeable care for all animals. I currently have unlimited availability and am here to meet all the new pups and help deliver exceptional service and dog training services if requested by owner. Upon arrival at a client’s home, if a backyard is available, I conduct a thorough perimeter check to ensure there are no gaps in the fence and that all gates are securely closed before allowing dogs outside. I follow each pet’s established feeding schedule and ensure fresh water is provided and replenished regularly. For overnight stays, I provide attentive in-home care to maintain your pet’s routine and comfort. If a walk requested during the booking exceeds 15 minutes an additional booking fee will apply for walks ranging from 30 to 60 minutes. If your pet requires medication, please inform me in advance so I can ensure it is administered safely and according to your instructions.
About: I have 6 years of experience as a dog walker and sitter in Chicago. I’ve loved it since the moment I started and will almost never turn down an opportunity to take care of a furry friend! I can handle any breed or size of dog, and am very knowledgeable in dogs’ temperament. I’m experienced in handling multiple dogs at once on walks as well. I have taken care of all ages of dogs, aiding in puppy training to giving medications to senior dogs! I can handle almost anything asked and will always let you know if I’m not comfortable with a task asked of me. My number one priority is the well being and safety of every animal I meet! I’m currently on a very open schedule and have a lot of flexibility. I can work with almost any time as long as I am given advance notice. When caring for dogs outside of the home, I always have them leashed and will never do anything off leash. If a client has a suitable outdoor space I will let them off but always keep them strictly monitored. I know how important the bond between a pet and their owner is and I will do everything in my power to ensure the safety and well-being of your pet!
Wheeling dog parents share their Rover experiences
Abigail was outstanding. She is responsible, and reliable, and she showed up like clockwork following the agreed upon schedule. She went over and above with our dog, Olive. She produced reliable reports and kept us fully informed - a significant improvement over and dog boarding service we ever used. Recommend with no reservations.

Hannah is wonderful! I will definitely use her with any future needs. I love how she sat with our older dog to give her loving and how she played ball with our active boy. She’s high energy with good vibes. Appreciated all her assistance in strolling with our older girl. Very very VERY satisfied!

Yuliia was absolutely amazing! She kept our two pitbull mix pups happy, made sure they had adequate water and snacks, played with them and took great videos/pictures. Tails were wagging and the humans were put at ease that she was taking great care of them. Would DEFINITELY recommend hiring Yuliia to take care of your pets and we will certainly be using her again in the future:)
