Dog Walkers in Woodcrest, IL

“Niah has been a wonderful part of Princeton Antonio’s daily routine, and he gets extra excited whenever she arrives! She’s energetic, caring, and incredibly thoughtful. One of the things I appreciate most is how she always sends me sweet photos of Princeton that I can share with my mother in Chicago (who, by the way, adores her St. Louis-based grand-dog). Rain or shine, Niah shows up every evening without fail. Her dependability and connection with Princeton have been incredibly helpful while I've been recovering from a broken ankle. She has my highest recommendation to anyone who needs a dog walker or pet sitter.”

About: With over 3 years of experience living with dogs and cats, I treat every pet like family. I offer a calm, trustworthy presence that keeps tails wagging. I’m currently working remotely, so caring for my maltese typically has been a breeze! I maintain a feeding, grooming, exercise, and mental enrichment routine with my dog. I feed my dog 2x a day and walk her for 30 minutes in the evening. Since she’s crate trained, she enjoys lounging around her bed while I work.

“Amazing experience. Gabby was a very easy going and cared well for our dogs. She is a professional and I highly recommend her. Once you meet her, your mind will be at ease knowing your pets and safe and sound in her care. Great communications throughout the experience. 100% recommend and will call on her again!”

“Kelly was so amazing with my puppy! She was on time, communicative, and took pics of my fur baby. I would definitely hire her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I can play with them, pick up after them, bathe them and make sure they’re happy and well fed. And I can take the dog on short or long walks and make sure they’re happy and safe. Also for house sitting I’ll make sure the house is clean and any messes the dog makes is cleaned up as well I’m a student at an online university, but I am taking a break from perusing my BS in forensic accounting. So I have plenty of time to watch your pets. I have two dogs that I take care of with my family. And they are well cared for and I play with them throughout the day and feed them when they need to be fed.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life. You can rest assured your pups, big and small, will get all the love and attention while you’re away. I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday, but have three pups of my own at home and can board additional pups overnight during the week and can do daytime walks on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and keep your pets separated from my household pets unless they are long-time visitors and we know everyone gets along well.

“Second time using Emily on very short notices that I do not recommend doing but really pleased with the communication nd I can’t wait to continue he using her for all other services.”

About: Hi my name is Diane, and I have been caring for dogs, cats, fish and birds most of my life. I will care for your precious babies just like my own. They will receive professional care, love, attention and affection. This is my full time job, if you can call it that. It's a blessing. I have a nice yard and field for walks, and a large covered deck for outside play time in severe weather. I only take one family's pets at a time. So, your babies will get plenty of quality attention and companionship. My home is pet friendly and all safety precautions have been implemented. Your companions will be kept separate from my own for the safety of both parties. I am also comfortable and experienced taking care of special needs pets that might require medications to be administered or other accommodations. I now have a bedroom designated for cats. It has a king size bed and lots of windows for bird watching. I only book one family's cat or cats at a time. I have excellent reviews and references. Thank you for your consideration. This is my full time job. A labor of love. So, caring for your companions will be my top priority. You can feel confident and secure while they're in my care. I will accommodate your companions needs and your requests. All pets are kept safe and attended to at all times. I am trustworthy and reliable.

About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of animals my whole life. I treat each pet like a cherished family member, and not just a job. I emphasize building trust, understanding individual pet personalities, and providing compassionate, attentive care that goes beyond basic feeding and watering. I work from home full time and can step away from my desk at anytime. If you have nervous dogs that can’t be left alone for long periods of time, my schedule allows me to work from anywhere and I can spend the day with them. I can easily take care of all your pets needs, walks? You got it. Sitting with your dog through a thunderstorm? Absolutely. I want to make sure that your dog doesn’t get thrown out of their routine, when I’m coming into others homes.

About: I always take care of my sisters dogs as well as friends dogs and I love it, it’s so much fun! I’m really good with animals. I have a cat of my own so I take care of her everyday but I go to school but have online classes so I have plenty of time to watch your pet. Dogs like more attention than cats so with my cat I give her space but with dogs give them more attention! I always am tentative to what varies to each animal

About: I have experience with animals of all different sizes, ages and temperaments. I am new to Rover but definitely not new to taking care of animals. I have been fostering cats and dogs for years through MEHS, BAHS and stray rescue STL. Can provide proof if needed. I recently adopted one of my beautiful foster babies (Lilo). She is the only dog I have currently and is only 5 months old and very friendly with anyone and everything. I do have a 9 year old (Simba) and 6 month old (Charlie) cat, as well as a turtle (Peanut) I have had for 5 years. All of my animals are spayed/neutered. They are all allowed to enjoy the furniture just as much as I am. I would love to give your animals all the love and care while you are away. I am currently in college, so in my free time, I am usually home studying and cuddling up with my fur babies on the couch. I work part-time nights so I usually go in late while the animals are asleep so I am able to spend the day taking care of our pets. I make sure to feed them, give them a nice fresh bowl of clean water. Spoil them with a treat or two. Give them some love and affection, let them out to use the restroom and walk them if that is something you'd like me to do as well, as i know all animals have different needs and some need more exercise than others. If they are on a special diet or need any special care, just let me know as I am quite the note taker and can absolutely meet those needs for you.

About: Hi, I’m Olivia! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and can’t imagine it any other way. I grew up with both cats and extra-large dog breeds like Newfoundlands and Labs, and now I share my life with two of my own—a sweet GS/Heeler mix named Cinder ❤️ and a lovable cat who keeps us both in check. I’ve been pet sitting since middle school, and I’m the go-to pet person for friends and coworkers. I’m also a passionate animal advocate, and I always aim to treat every pet like they’re my own. Currently, I offer dog walking and drop-in visits. Whether your pup needs an energy-burning walk or your cat just needs some company and a clean litter box, I’m happy to help! I genuinely enjoy being outdoors and connecting with animals of all kinds. I have experience with: • Large and giant breed dogs (Labs, Newfoundlands, German Shepherds, etc.) • Reactive dogs and leash-sensitive pups • Senior pets, medication routines, and special care needs • Cats, including shy or picky personalities Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a long walk, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for. ⸻ Helpful Info to Share With Me To give your pet the best care possible, please let me know: • Any medical conditions or physical limitations • Behavioral quirks (especially on walks or with new people) • Triggers, fears, or specific routines that help them feel safe Thanks so much—I’d love the chance to meet your furry family member! 🐾 Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily and weekly routine. Every day, I dedicate time to feeding, exercising, and playing with pets to keep them happy and healthy. I also set aside regular blocks of time for grooming, administering medications if needed, and giving lots of attention and affection. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I make sure to create a consistent, caring environment that meets each pet’s unique needs. When I provide walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort above all else. During walks, I keep pets securely leashed and stay aware of their surroundings to avoid any hazards. For drop-in visits, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain a familiar and calm environment, making sure pets get the care, attention, and companionship they need while their family is away. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me, so I communicate openly and respect each pet’s individual personality and needs.

“Morgan was AMAZING. I can truly say she went above and beyond with her care for our dog. Always kept us updated on when she got to our house and sent pictures every visit. It is clear Morgan LOVES pets and she will definitely treat your pet like her own. We will most definitely use Morgan again when we need someone to take care of our pup.”

About: I've taken care of every kind of dog since I was the age of 11. The type of dog breeds I have taken care of are golden retrievers, mixed breed dogs, chihuahuas and pomeranians. Neighbors and family members have trusted me to walk, feed, play, administer medicine and take their dogs to the vet. I have trained puppies and taken care of senior dogs. The first puppy that I trained was my mixed breed dog who we got at the age of six weeks old. I am currently training my 7 month old mixed breed puppy basic commands. The senior dog that I have recently cared for was a chihuahua who had a grain allergy. I am using Rover as my full time job. The service that I offer at the moment is dog walking. I am usually home alot but may need to leave for doctor appointments or to run errands. Owners can expect me to be away for short periods of time, but you can check always check my calendar for availabilities. I have a puppy of my own that I take care of daily. I feed, walk, play, bathe and take care of my puppy's overall health, well-being and safety as part of our daily and weekly routine. I feed my puppy twice a day along with rewarding her with treats throughout the day. I take her on walks either once or twice a day around our neighborhood or at a park. I play with her outside in our backyard or take her to the park. I love on her and provide a safe and comfortable environment for her. I always schedule regular veterinary checkups and nail grinding appointments for her. Once a week I give my puppy a dental treat to ensure that her teeth, gums and breathe are taken care of.

About: I currently have 2 dogs and have had dogs my whole life. Both of my dogs are very high energy so I am used to keeping them busy. My male dog is 3 years old and he requires a lot of love and attention. He is great with kids and other animals. My female dog is 6 years old and she's a very anxious girl. She prefers to be the only pet but is extremely affectionate with people. I have experience with small and large dogs from puppy to elderly. I am comfortable feeding, grooming, walking, and caring for your pets. My availability is flexible. I am willing to stay at the owners home so the dogs feel safe in a familiar area. I am available for daily walks or extended stays. I have experience with special feeding and medication routines for pets if needed. I also have experience caring for more than one pet in the same home that are on different schedules or need to be kept away from another pet in the home. I will treat you fur baby like my own and they will be well cared for! I'm currently in the process of going back to school so I am not working a scheduled job right now. My availability is flexible. I'm available for daily check ins and walks. I'm also available for extended or overnight care throughout the week and all weekend. I will do all of my care at the client's home per the client's instructions on their pets needs and will provide care in the way the client specifically wants their pet cared for. My availability is open and very flexible! I can take last minute requests, overnight stays any day of the week, can stop in multiple times a day to check on your pet if needed. I will do my best to accommodate any situation and make sure to take great care of your dog/cat! I will give your pet lots of love and attention! I will make sure to follow any instructions or requests while I am caring for your pet(s). I like to send daily pictures and updates to give you piece of mind while you are away. I always keep notes with your normal routine with your pet as well as any other information I need to know while caring for them. Before caring for your pet(s) I like to spend some time with them during a meet and greet because it is extremely important to see how your dog or cat responds to me before I am hired to care for them. Being a dog mom myself I would want to see how my dog responds to someone before I made the decision to hire them. Your pet(s) safety, comfort and wellbeing are my top priority when caring for them!

About: I've cared for dogs my whole life. There has never been a time I didn’t have at least one by my side! I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes, from tiny pups to giant breeds. As a professional dog trainer with over 7 years of experience, I specialize in helping reactive dogs, shy dogs, and those with big feelings. I use positive, game-based training to make every interaction safe, calm, and fun. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior needing a gentle approach, I adapt to meet each dog’s needs with patience and care. My work life is very flexible, which makes pet care a natural part of my day. I run my own dog training business, so I can easily plan my schedule around walk times and drop-in visits. Whether it's morning, midday, or evening, I have the freedom to give dogs the time and attention they deserve. I do work an evening shift at Applebee's from 5 to 9 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but I’m available the rest of the week for pet care. Safety is always my top priority on walks. I use well-fitted gear, avoid overstimulating areas, and stay tuned in to each dog’s comfort level. I take time to build trust using a calm voice, positive reinforcement, and clear communication. I also like to add fun to our walks by playing simple games along the way, not just for exercise, but for mental enrichment too. I can adjust the pace, route, and even the treats I use depending on the dog’s needs or any allergies. My goal is for every walk to feel safe, peaceful, and enjoyable.

About: I’m not just another sitter who shows up and leaves. I genuinely care for pets as if they were my own. What makes me different is the attention to detail and the patience I bring to every walk, visit, or overnight stay. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, needs, and routine so they feel safe and loved, not just “looked after.” While others may treat this as just a side job, I see it as a responsibility and a privilege. Your pet deserves someone dependable, caring, and trustworthy and that’s exactly what I offer. I’m currently not working, so I’m available anytime any day, if you need somebody that’s really going to take time with your pet, that’s me!! I provide pet care directly in the client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow their usual routine feeding, walking, playtime, and any special instructions so they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while their owner is away.
