About: I’ve taken care of dogs as long as I can remember!! I’ve had all different types my whole life and love going on walks and dog parks I am currently home from college and just looking for an easy job to keep me going and keep me fit for these summer months. I am home most days so hanging out with your dog or cat will be perfect to keep me entertained and having fun!! I have two dogs and a fenced in yard just in case it is needed for them to spend some time at my home while people are gone!!

About: I have a beloved 15-year old mutt of my own plus 10+ years' experience fostering and volunteering with dog rescue organizations. Throughout fostering and pet sitting, I've hosted pups of all ages, sizes, and abilities (e.g., blind, tripod, recovering from surgeries, etc.) and have training in dog behavior and socialization. Awarded "Foster Home of the Year" in 2016 by renowned Chicago animal rescue One Tail at a Time. After living/Rovering in Florida for a few years, I'm excited to be back north and have a huge yard to share with your pups! As of April 2026, I am on sabbatical from my day job so I am wide open for pet sitting! My partner Ryan works full time out of the house but he may also be present (dogs love him). I am a homebody and happy to stay in and snuggle with dogs that have separation anxiety and/or don't do well in public settings. My own dog is old and very used to having other dogs around if yours would like a buddy while you're away (a lot of solo dogs benefit from this!) For housesitting, no other human or pet will enter your home without your express permission.

About: Hi! I have hands on experience working in a dog daycare and training environment providing daily care and supervision for dogs of various sizes, ages, and temperaments. My responsibilities included monitoring group play, ensuring safe interactions, and maintaining structured routines throughout the day. I also have experience administering basic medications to dogs as directed by owners including oral pill administration while following safety and care instructions carefully. In addition to daycare care I assisted with basic obedience training such as leash manners, sit stay commands, and reinforcement of positive behavior in structured sessions. I am currently studying through Animal Behavior College focusing on canine behavior, obedience training, and positive reinforcement techniques which I apply alongside my hands on experience. I offer flexible availability depending on the day and client needs. I am typically available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, including weekdays and weekends. I do my best to accommodate recurring schedules as well as last-minute requests when possible. I understand that trusting someone in your home is a big decision, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I always respect your space, follow all instructions closely, and maintain a clean, secure environment while caring for your pet. With my background working in a professional pet care setting, I’m trained to stay aware of safety at all times whether that’s properly securing doors, using leashes and harnesses correctly, or monitoring your pet’s behavior and well being. I provide reliable, consistent care and make sure your pet stays on their normal routine to reduce stress while you’re away. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. Your home will be treated with the same care and respect as your pet, both are a top priority to me.

About: I have run my own business Holliewood Doo Doo Adventures for 10 years (here in Facebook..check me out). Started out as waste pick up and branched out from there as I got older and it provided flexibility with schedules Also myself and my family have worked with ABRA, Inc Rescue to help foster 3 Dogs to help give them love and Discipline and skills to be able to be adopted out. I enjoy providing the Love, Patience, Time needed for each animal as every personality and needs are different. Also, knowing that they are a part of our families and to help soothe them in the transition as well as fur parents when they need to leave Currently I am a College student and this fits into my schedule well and I have flexibility and that's why I love it. I am now off for the Summer and even though I go back in the fall I work around my online classes. I have 2 dogs of our own and a cat. Realizing they have individual needs and they love the safe space of their own home it is important to me to provide that care that you specifically may need for them. You know this and I have so many that suffer from Anxiety or Seniors that do better in their own homes. That is what I am here for...whether they require so many walks per day or snuggles or play time

“Jesseeka appeared immediately comfortable with my 150 lb cane corso. She has been responsive and professional. She seems to truly be in it for the love of dogs!”

About: I have been around dogs since I was born! I have two of my own fur children, whom both required a lot of attention and are very spoiled! They are also extremely well mannered and I have only self-trained them with patience and proper motivation. I have pet sat for friends and family several times informally, and found it to be so fun! I myself am a very detail oriented person, loves loving on animals, and understands how comforting it is to have the right person looking after your baby! I own my own business so my hours are flexible and can be arranged as needed! I already am caring for my own pets throughout each day! My dogs are both leashed when going out to potty in our yard. I also work on patience, obedience commands, and recall with them so that they have little daily disciplines. Both of my dogs are very treat oriented so it makes keeping them up to snuff with their manners easy! They also get regularly walked through our neighborhood, have an abundance of toys, and a very consistent meal time for breakfast and dinner!

About: Hello! My services offer walks and drop in visits. I’ve absolutely adored animals since I was little and have grown up with cats and dogs. I’ve been taking care of my own pets as well as strays and fosters for years. My work experience includes managing kennels at a vet, watching large groups of dogs at Beach for Dogs, and I was a bather at Petsmart. When your pet is in my care I can promise you they will be safe, happy and comfortable as can be every time. I’ll love them like my own! I am self-employed. I am able to work my Rover appointments into my schedule without any issues or potential of inconveniencing my clients in any way. I have a calm and nurturing energy when dealing with dogs to make them comfortable. It’s important to give them the opportunity to get their energy out so you can come home to a tired, relaxed dog!

“Julie was awesome and my pup looked forward to seeing Julie when it was time for her walk. I knew she was in good hands when she was so very excited to meet Julie. Thank you so very much!!!”

I’m currently a home stay dog mom and would love to give my love and attention to other dogs and cats. I’m available and flexible to work with the parent.

About: As someone who has grown up with pets of all shapes and sizes from dogs to even a pair of pet rats at one point, I have always loved animals and will take any opportunity to spend more time with them! I have a senior dog named Buddy and a cat named Maple and would love to pour the same love I give to them into your fur babies by playing with them, walking them, and attending to all of their needs. My childhood dog Buddy is also blind, elderly, and diabetic, so I have experience and am very understanding of pets that may need special accommodations and/or medication. Not only do I have experience with the many pets I’ve grown up with and taken care of, but I also have experience working in a pet store and boarding facility taking care of any animals you can imagine. I am currently home for the summer from college and have pretty flexible availability and would love to fill my time taking care of your pets! I promise to give your animals the same love and care I would give to my own pets. I’m excited to keep your pets happy and healthy by walking them, playing with them, snuggling with them, and giving them the undivided attention they deserve.

About: I’ve had lots of animals throughout my life and I have been told I am a dog whisperer. We have one cat at home because we live in a small apartment so it makes me miss having dogs even more. I am a full time student at Purdue University but I have pretty flexibility week day hours. I also am usually free on the weekends! When it comes to watching other people’s pet baby’s I am extremely cautious and want to ensure their health and safety above all else. I know how hard it is to leave your beloved in another’s care but I do my best to keep them occupied and happy while you’re away.

About: I've had cats and dogs in my home since I was 6. In addition to my own pets, friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets over night when they've been away. My experience ranges from handling high energy big dogs to being patient with older pets and everything in between. My job allows me to work flexible hours so I can go the extra mile to make sure your pet doesn't have to adjust to a different schedule while you're away. In my clients home, I prioritize following all detailed instruction so that your pet's specific needs are met. Having the owner be away can be stressful for them so I do my best to make it as comfortable for them as possible.

“I’m pretty sure Nina is Maddie’s favorite walker. Thanks for looking out for my girl!!”

About: Hello, I'm Rebecca. I'm 28 years old. I've always been an animal lover. I live with my parents who have had multiple dogs over the course of my lifetime. Being the only child still living with them, I've become their dog sitter anytime they leave for a trip, etc. I began experiencing disabling health issues right out of high school and resorted to dog sitting as a way to make money as I was not able to hold a "real" job. I grew to love it. I'm healthier now and looking to find more opportunities outside of friends, family, and neighbors. I would love to broaden my horizons and care for fur babies full time. I'm currently unemployed and have a very open schedule. I have experience caring for puppies, elderly dogs, and anything in between. I know how to administer medication and clean up accidents due to my past elderly dogs having health complications. I also have experience caring for rabbits and cats. After the passing of my 9 year old rabbit in June 2025, I felt like a piece of me was missing. Only a couple months later, I started dog walking for a woman in my neighborhood daily and it helped me through the grief of losing my bunny. That's what caused my desire to dog sit/walk to grow even more. It is said that "time heals all wounds" but the unconditional love from a furry friend really helps pass the time. I'm also a house plant lover. If needed I can water and care for any houseplants during overnight sittings. No more worrying about your beloved pets or plants while you're away! With me you can have peace of mind that they're all in good hands. I'm currently unemployed. I have a very open schedule except for weekdays from Noon-1pm (when I dog walk in my neighborhood). I have 2 separate church events scheduled on the 4th Saturday of every month. Scheduling walks or drop in visits can be tricky that day because the events don't always have a set time. I can dog sit at your home on those 4th Saturdays as long as I am able to leave for a couple hours for the events. During drop-in visits/walks I rinse and refill water bowls, replace empty treat toys, clean up any accidents that may have occurred, play with your fur baby to release any pent up energy they might have, and complete any other duties you may have for me. I pay close attention during potty breaks and notify the owners if anything is out of the ordinary. When dog sitting I can stay at your home overnight if needed. If not I can check in as often as you'd like. I can provide updates through out the day and pictures so cute you'll want to frame them.

“Alexis was absolutely fantastic taking care of my baby Luna! Luna is only 6 months old, has a lot of energy, is not fully trained and I'm sure was a handful for someone to walk in day-one and manage, But she did above and beyond. She brought toys and puzzles, made sure Luna was fed and properly walked. She updated me on how the walks went, when she arrived and left, told me about the other dogs Luna got to meet along the walks and seemed totally joyful and sincere about spending time with my sweet girl. I will be hiring Alexis over and over in the future!”

About: I love to care for small and medium sized dogs, providing them with walks and treats and just all around love and care while their owners are away. My schedule is almost always wide open! I’m very flexible and can sometimes even accommodate same day walks/check ins. This will vary based on bad snow. I am only able to go to other clients homes as I have two cats at home who aren’t fond of dogs. However I am very adaptable to new environments and I’m a quick learner!

Right now I work part time, so I’m available most days in the afternoon/ evenings! I will have plenty of time to hangout with your fur babies! Let’s talk about the best day and time for you! The goal is to make sure your pups are happy and cared for as if you were home with them! I will always be prepared, always have treats, and always communicate with you!
