“Leora is very reliable and experienced. She walks our dog in all weather. She makes herself available on short notice for special requests like us going downtown. She is very patient, calm, and kind to our dog. We are so happy to have found Leora! She is terrific!”

“Karina was delightful to meet and she did a great job with our two dogs. She went the extra mile for us by doing it all on a short notice. We really appreciated her being available to lend a walking foot so we could go to Chicago for the day.”

“Erica was great. She was able to accommodate a last minute request and even was able to do a meet and greet before. My dog is a senior so she didn't need a long walk. Erica offered to sit with her in the house after because the walk was short. I thought that was nice that she asked. She had great communication and I appreciate that. I'll be using Erica again. Thank you so much for caring for my sweet girl.”

“Hanna was wonderful with Jaxx on his first walk. He was shy at first since he’d never had a walker before, but her calm and patient approach helped him warm up quickly. She let him walk at his own pace, shared detailed updates, and even sent a picture, which I really appreciated. I felt very relieved and will definitely continue using her services”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs almost all my life. I am also close relatives first option when it comes to looking after their pets. I currently have lots of free time to help look after your pets! I have six pets that I take care/help take care of it would be no problem adding more. I like to make sure all pets I look after are treated with as much care as my own. I have a fenced in yard but am more than willing to take dogs on daily walks.
“Hannah is just an amazing dog walker. She was just amazing with our boy. She communicate when she arrived, when she left and sent us probably the best picture we have of him. We will for sure use her services again in the future and recommend everyone to reach out to her.”

“Jason quickly made a strong connection with our lab, Ralph, and with us. He puts extra time, thought and effort into his care of Ralph which has made a difference. He is also extremely responsive and provides detailed information about each interaction. He’s terrific!”


About: Hi, I’m Karina! My fiancé and I moved to Wheeling last year and I wanted to get more involved in the local community while spending time with animals. I have 5+ years of hands-on experience working in an animal hospital, along with 15+ years of caring for my own pets. Working in an animal hospital gave me real experience handling different temperaments, reading behavior, and making sure animals feel safe even in unfamiliar situations. At home, I’ve cared for my own pets for years, so I understand how important routines, attention, and consistency are. When your pet is with me, you can expect: - Regular updates and photos - Care that follows your pet’s routine closely - A calm, patient, and attentive environment - Reliable and clear communication I take pride in being dependable and making sure both you and your pet feel comfortable every step of the way. I integrate pet care into my routine by managing my time responsibly. I have enough flexibility to give pets proper attention, playtime, and companionship without rushing or overbooking. I follow instructions closely, monitor behavior and comfort, and maintain clean, safe spaces at all times. I pay attention to routines, energy levels, and subtle changes that may signal stress or discomfort. I take care to respect each pet’s needs and the expectations of their owner, and I treat every home responsibly and professionally.

“Spencer is great with my dog as well as the most reliable dog-walker I’ve met via Rover. My dog who is very high-energy is always worn out from their walks. He also really enjoys his walks with Spencer and gets super excited when he sees him!”
About: I worked at Petco while in college. I have been around animals my whole life. I have experience other cat and dog sitting. I currently have two cats of my own and love them dearly. I will treat and care for your pets just like my Own! I am also a teacher and am very responsible and respectful of your home. I am currently on summer break so I have a lot of time for you and your pets! During the school year I am available nights, weekends, and holiday breaks. I prefer to be at your home, as I am currently living with my parents and my two cats. I want to respect their space. I am very clean, organized, and respectful of others spaces.
“Cathy is an outstanding dog walker! Our rambunctios 2yo lab loved her daily walks, and Cathy even worked with our nervous Border Collie to build up her confidence. Cathy is absolutely reliable, and we highly recommend her!”

“Hollyn went above and beyond my expectations. I feel like she treated my dog and cat as if they were her own. She keeps me informed and is punctual. I would love to hire her again.”

“Samantha took great care of our pup. Sent us pictures and a recap every day. Our pup seemed to be really responsive to Samantha. I will definitely be using Samantha again. She is very caring of our pup.”


About: I have hands-on experience raising and caring for my own dog from puppyhood. As the primary dog walker and caregiver, I played a major role in his daily care, including potty training, teaching him his name, and training basic commands and tricks. This experience taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand a dog's behavior and needs at different stages of development. Because I helped care for and train a young puppy, I'm comfortable working with dogs that require extra attention, structure, and exercise. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing positive reinforcement, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As an incoming pharmacy student at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, I'm also highly responsible, detail-oriented, and committed to following care instructions closely. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. As a college student currently on summer break, I have plenty of availability and flexibility to dedicate to pet care. This allows me to provide attentive care, accommodate a variety of schedules, and spend quality time with your pet rather than rushing between commitments. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or companionship, I can provide reliable and consistent care throughout the week. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that helps them feel comfortable and secure. During walks and visits, I stay attentive, follow all care instructions closely, and ensure pets are always in a safe environment. I also understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, so I'll provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you're away. I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own dog.
About: I have cared for animals ever since I can remember. I am a huge animal lover so I had/have a lot of different pets: Cats, dogs, a ferret, hamsters, lizards, and fish! I am going into junior year for college as a double major in Biology and Animal Ecology. I was involved in an animal training class for two semester where I helped/observed dog training. I was a Kennel Attendant for 3 months at an Animal Hospital, have interned there for 2 Summers, and am working as a veterinary assistant this Summer! I am working part time as a Veterinary Assistant Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. I am volunteering at a Parrot pet store in the mornings on Wednesdays and Fridays. I’m available after 12 pm on Wednesdays and Fridays along with anytime on most Saturdays and Sundays! I am available for feeding, walking, and giving your pet lots of attention (if they seem ok with it)! And I will make sure to fulfill all of your pets needs.
“Thea is so wonderful with Panda! She also has given me great information from her experieces to help me with some issues that come with a sesenior dog. Her feedback has been invaluable. Were very lucky to have her🐾🐾🐾”

About: As a child I’ve grown up with dogs. My grandfather cared for Black Russian terriers, and I helped him take care of new litters every summer. I’ve also had a cat all my childhood, who I loved so very much. I am well experienced with pet sitting for family friends, and have had experiences with dogs and cats of all sizes, big or small! I would be happy to help you care for your pet, I have recently graduated from UIUC. I am home for the summer so my schedule is very flexible! I am available to care during any time of day/night, so long as the details are communicated beforehand we should be great! I will cater to the pets and owners need however they see fit! If you would like a simple walk, and a refill of water and food that’s great, if you’d like me to keep your pet company that’s fine too!

Thea was wonderful! She did a meet and greet with Marley before his walk, and he immediately took to her, which says a lot. She was early very punctual on time, incredibly sweet, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. She sent adorable photos during their walk, which gave me peace of mind and made my day. Marley looked so happy and comfortable with her. I would absolutely recommend Thea to anyone looking for a caring, dog sitter and will definitely be booking with her again!

Abby is the best!!! My dog, Zeus gets so excited to see her. She clearly loves dogs, all dogs and treats them like you would treat your dog yourself. She is pleasant to speak with and always does a great job. I would highly recommend her to any dog owner that needs help with dog walking or dog sitting.

Yuliia has been a great help with our busy schedule! She is great at communication, sharing very detailed feedback about each walk and about our puppy, and helped us a lot with some additional extra tasks (like cleaning his playpen a bit, changing the water, etc) Our pup loves her!!! Highly recommended!

Stephen is an incredible dog sitter and walker! He is incredibly professional, caring and attentive. We loved getting photos of our dog after each visit - both action shots and close ups. We are grateful for Stephen's attention to detail, professionalism and care.
