“Samantha is great! She’s communicative, flexible, and always right on time. Mostly importantly my dog absolutely loves her. Highly recommend.”

“Caitlin was absolutely wonderful and would highly recommend to anyone to take care of their dog.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14. Neighbors, family friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets when they were away. I currently have all the time in the world to help with pets and fur babies. they will have a fenced yard and plenty of activities. I have a fenced yard and a dog off my own for them to play with. If need be I have two levels and large rooms for quiet time or separate play.

“Adriana has been my dog walker (and sometimes sitter!) for 3 months now and my Zuko absolutely loves her! She makes sure he is well taken care of and it’s always a treat to have her around. Could not recommend her enough!!”

About: I am Pet CPR and pet first aid certified. I've taken care of all sorts of animals since I was a child. I have 2 dogs, 2 rats, and a 20 gal fish tank in my home. I've trained my own dogs one of whom came to us feral. I am accustomed to helping and training reactive dogs and welcome the challenge. I work full time, about 8 hours a day. Typically have Wednesdays and Sundays off. I love animals and enjoy spending my free time with them. I have 2 dogs that re used to other animals coming in out of the home. In the past I have rehabilitated small animals and found them suitable homes.

“Alison is so friendly! My dog Bowie was happy to see her today. Great walker!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets my entire life. I have experience dog-sitting, cat-sitting, dog walking and even some grooming. My passionate love for animals doesn’t vary between small, large, young, or old - I love them all! I work part-time at a vets office in Columbia, IL. I have plenty of weekend availability and very flexible during the week. Please reach out to see if my exact schedule would work for you! My goal is to make your furry friend feel as comfortable as possible with me. I take caution when getting to know a new animal, making sure to give them the time and space they need in order to get to know me.

“I have two smaller dogs, one being a miniature, Australian Shepherd, and the other being a jack Russell terrier. We tend to go on a lot of camping trips during the summer and Brittney has watched my dogs each time and we couldn’t be more thrilled with her and how she treats our dogs and loves on them. She even goes above and beyond and brings them new toys.”

“Knowing Bernie for decades now, caring for animals has always been a top priority for her. She really loves to nurture and play with animals as she absolutely loves seeing a happy pet! Her great passion for the well-being of all animals makes her an ideal Rover sitter!”

“She has been watching my dogs for several years and loves them like her own. She is warm and compassionate and excellent at communicating well.”

“My mom (Melissa) is the best person I can think of out of anyone I know to care for animals. Growing up our dogs were no different than any child she’s ever had. Now, anytime I call to see what she’s up to she’s on a walk with her dog, watching a movie with her dog, or playing outside in the back yard with her dog. Melissa is an amazing caretaker who will without a doubt treat your pets as one of her own while in her care.”

About: I am an avid pet lover. I’ve been around dogs all my life (minus a short time when I lived in an apartment and couldn’t have a dog, so we decided to adopt 2 cats!). I am a pretty active gal, and am able to take dogs for walks (and even run if they want to). I'm open to drop in visits, housesitting, walks, etc. I am unable to provide boarding at my house, as our Chloe is selective about her friends. We are working with her on being more tolerant of others. If boarding is your preference, I would be open to a Chloe meet-and-greet to make sure your dog and Chloe are comfortable with each other. I work locally around Columbia, so I am able to do some petsitting during the week. I have more availability on the weekends. If my schedule allows, I can drop in on lunch to check on your pets. Your rules are my rules. As long as the dog/cat/etc. is happy, I am happy. My dogs are allowed on furniture and have the run of the house. Of course, they are not chewers and (typically) do not destroy things.

“Annie is fantastic with dogs and puppies! If you have your pups stay with her you can expect that your dog will get a lot of attention and activity. She is the very first person I ask if I need my dog watched.”

“Colton is awesome! This was his first walk with one of our pups and our pup adores him. Colton is super friendly, down to earth, and communicative. We couldn't have found someone better suited for us!”

“Haley is great with dogs and loves all animals!! They all love her back as well! She loves to cuddle and spoil them! Choose Haley, you won’t regret it!”

“Sarah would be great at dog sitting because she has done it for friends and family a bunch in her life. All dogs tend to love her & she loves them right back. She has a dog of her own who is a very happy dog and lives a great life, her dog is even her wallpaper on her phone. She is very trustworthy and responsible, if there was a person who would make your pets happy and keep them with good care, it’s her!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. I have had a few of my own and was relied on by neighbors, family, and friends to take care of their dogs while they were away! I am currently a college student, and also work part time. I am off work for a couple months, so I have plenty of time to feed, let out, and play with your animals! I do not have other animals come to my house because I have one older dog of my own, and my house does not have a ton of room for more animals.

About: I have taken care of family and friends dogs, cats, bunnies and farm animals growing up and recently have begun house sitting for families in the Portland, ME area. Sits range from the weekend to a full month caring for small and large dogs, cats, alpacas, goats and bunnies. I have had experience walking up to 2 dogs in the city, trails or beaches and providing medications when needed. I have open availability mornings, afternoons and evenings, weekdays and weekends. Available for walks, drop ins and house sits! Happy to discuss a schedule that works for you :) When caring for pets I focus on making them feel comfortable and attended to, with extra pets and snuggles. Giving time to play outside, preparing a nice treat, keeping a clean living space, and monitoring needs depending on situation.

“I’ve known Erin for many years. She has a big heart for animals & so patient. High marks for being dependable & honest. 👍 💕”
