About: I’ve worked at my local animal shelter for the past three summers as well as interning at a couple of vet clinics. Im currently working at a clinic in Carpentersville! I’m confident in reading animal cues and providing based on pets’ needs. I have a great passion for taking care of animals, especially those that you hold near and dear. I’m currently home for a gap year and fitting in Rover during my free weekends. I am flexible and will do everything I can to adjust to your preferred schedule! I prioritize your individual pets’ needs. Care will be completed in a timely manner, respectfully, and with utmost care towards your pet. Feel free to send instructions or details about your pet so I can best provide for them!

About: I’ve been a cat lover my whole life and would love to meet yours! I have 3 medically complex 4 yr old kitties with allergies, autoimmune conditions, urinary issues, and anal gland infections. I administer oral pills and liquid twice daily for them, and have experience with subcutaneous injections. The first cats in my life were outdoor cats in rural Michigan. Some of my fondest memories are of the excitement on the bus ride home from school to play with my cat when I got home. While in college, I raised a kitten with my partner at the time and introduced a second cat a year later. They were both super energetic and loved play time with catnip toys! After that, I adopted a senior kitty who ended up being my first medically complex fur baby. She had her remaining teeth removed recently when I adopted her, but we dealt with chronic ear and eye infections as well as inflammatory bowel disease. A few months after she passed, she sent me my current three medically complex fur babies to look after. My experience with dogs is less extensive, but I’d still love to meet yours! Growing up we’d dog sit for my grandpa’s medium sized dog and my best friend had 2 wire fox terriers. More recently, I’ve watched my friend’s tiny chihuahua for a few days who got along well with my cats 🐶🐱 I work from home as a solutions engineer in digital accessibility. I have some flexibility for visits during workday hours, and am happily available mornings, evenings, and weekends 😸🐾 Your pet’s health, safety, and happiness are my top priority as a pet sitter. Please let me know about any medical concerns, so I can properly care for your pet. I will diligently follow care instructions and provide detailed updates on your pet. I will also ensure your home is the same if not cleaner than when I entered if applicable.

“Marcy is amazing!! My dogs love having her come by, she takes a lot of care with them. She sends photos, gives updates, everything I could ask for!!”

About: I’ve had a love for animals since I was small. This kept me active as a volunteer in animal shelters throughout high school, in addition to being a reliable sitter for my family and friends’ fur babies. I would love to go on walks and give lots of love to your furry friend(s) whenever you need! Please check my availability through my calendar! I update it consistently. I am full time studying at home postgrad, so I have a very flexible schedule! I will be diligent in keeping your dog safe by walking with a leash and always keeping a close eye on them. I have no other pets at home and am graduated, so your pet will get my full attention.

About: I’m a caring and dependable person who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. I’ve cared for my friend’s dog while they were away on vacation, including making sure they were fed, walked, comfortable, and given plenty of attention and companionship. I understand how important it is to know your dog is in good hands while you’re away, and I’ll treat every dog I care for with the same patience, attention, and care I would want for my own. My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for walks and dog care during the week and on weekends. I’m typically available mornings and afternoons and can be flexible depending on your dog’s routine and needs. I’m happy to care for your dog in the comfort of their own home and follow their normal routine. I can take them on walks, play with them outside, give them plenty of attention and companionship, and keep them active throughout the day. With the owner’s permission, I’m also happy to take them on outings to places like Petco or the dog park. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Mary is our favorite. She adores our dog, Ralphie, and I always know he’s in good hands with her. She sends lots of photos and even brings him toys for fun holidays!!”

About: I’ve taken care of many animals since I was 10 dogs, cats, horses!! I have 5 Siberian huskies myself! I love and adore taking care of animals! Always treat them like they’re my own! Right now I’m pretty much available all day. I can do overnights during the week and weekends, dog walking, stopping in for check ins!

About: As a dedicated pet parent for over 10 years, I know that your dog isn't just a pet—they’re family. My world revolves around my own dog; from planning my daily schedule to ensure she’s active and happy, to traveling the country together, she is my top priority. Now, I’d love to bring that same level of devotion to your furry friend! Whether it's ensuring they get plenty of exercise or just providing some extra love while you're away, I'll treat your pup with the same 'number one' status I give my own. I can't wait to meet your adventure buddy! Because I am currently home full-time, pet care is my primary focus throughout the day. My schedule is exceptionally flexible, allowing me to prioritize your pet's specific needs—whether that’s mid-day walks, consistent potty breaks, or providing companionship for dogs with separation anxiety. Your pet won’t be fitting into a 'gap' in my day; they will be the center of my routine. I provide personalized care by tailoring my approach to each pet’s unique life stage and energy level. When visiting a client’s home, I strictly follow their established feeding and exercise routines to minimize stress. Whether it’s providing high-energy play for a puppy or gentle companionship and medication for a senior, I adapt my care style to ensure they feel secure and loved in any setting.

About: I have an insane passion for all types of animals, big. small, furry, scaley, bring it on! All of my past jobs have been related to animals and animal care and im intending to keep it that way forever! I'm a recent graduate so all I have is time! I also am looking to adding more walking to my schedule so caring for your animals will be a huge plus for me 🙏 I intend to treat your pets exactly how they need. Playful? no worries! I love to play! Withdrawn? that's okay! I won't push their boundaries!

About: We have a cavapoo named Haddie. She is 3and a little bit hyper (loves to play). We also have a 4 month old puppy named Harper who is a cockpoo. We frequently dog sit our parents dogs at our home when they go out of town or for an overnight somewhere. We have 2 older children at home who are 16 and 19. We love dogs!!! We have a small fenced in yard in the back. Our pugs are very layed back and lazy and get along well with other dogs. They have several pug friends in the neighborhood who they have play dates with. I work part time. Between me, my husband and my children, one of us is usually always home. I look forward to hearing from you about your 4 legged animal!! Please contact me!!! Thank you! I work part time at a restaurant so my hours are a little different. My husband works 8-5 Monday through Friday. My kids are in and out throughout the day, so between the 4 of us, someone is usually around! We feed them and make sure they go outside to potty when needed. They are well taken care of at our home! They get lots of love!

About: I have had dogs in my life since I a newborn and have been caring for them since I was around 5 years old! Around the time I turned 15, I began dog watching for neighbors and family friends so I have about 6 years of paid experience. I have an abundance of expertise with big dogs as all 7 dogs I’ve been lucky enough to have grown up with have been over 60 lbs with the biggest pup weighing about 110 lbs. I also have several years of experience with senior pups including my oldest pup Walter 😊 He has arthritis and has had several tumors so I am familiar with administering oral and topical medications if needed as well as post-surgery care. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions regarding my experience that I can clarify for you! I am a community college student with reliable transportation (if planned) and am available several hours through out the week. I am open to short-notice walks, check ins, and dog-sitting inquiries but please understand I may not always be available to fulfill your request due to me sharing a car with my parent. If you book with me 24 hours prior and I am available there should be no transportation issues. My availability is as follows: Mondays: please reach out for more info Tuesdays & Wednesdays: 9:30 am - 3:00 pm, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Thursdays: 12:30 pm - 3:00 pm, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Friday/Saturday/Sunday: Any time While I do not offer boarding services because of my senior, I do offer dog-sitting, walks, and check-in services. I promise to love your pup like they are my own! With my own dogs I tend to sit on the floor next to them more than on furniture because I like that they think I am at their level when I do that! I will talk to your pup/pups like they can understand me and are responding which might be weird for some but if you get it you get it 🤗 Also unless otherwise stated by dog mom/dad I always bring a couple treats for puppy to try! As with anything else you have questions about please do not hesitate to reach out!

About: I've raised all my dogs from puppy to senior (oldest 16 years). All kinds of dogs too, from corgy to lab, so I'm ready for anything. Currently unlimited availability. I'm up early and ready to see nature. Availability change in a few weeks to weekends. I'm excited to make new dogs friends. I'm a walker and a runner so I'll be walking them frequently and if they can handle it, I'll walk them to the nearby lake path.

About: I am 34 years old and I own two dogs. A golden retriever and a Texas heeler. I have owned dogs my whole life and have been a dog sitter since my early teens. I dog sit frequently including overnight in your home or my home and extended care or just daily walks! I am a stay at home mom with open availability! I’m also a super early riser and am available for early morning walks as well! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs. I am an active person and enjoy getting outside and exercising. Your pet will enjoy their time outside with me!
