Pet Sitting Almora Heights

“Katelyn has been a great with the boys. Communication has been excellent especially with making sure the boys are properly taken care of while I’m away. I highly recommend her if you’re wanting someone you can trust with your fur family.”

Jackson K.

“We’ve used Doreen twice now and always feel confident that our boys are in good hands. One of our cats needs pills twice a day so we need someone with some skill and Doreen fits the bill perfectly. I came home to clean litter boxes and happy cats!”

About: About us: I stumbled onto Rover in August 2022 after trying to think of ways to make a little extra money while working at home, full-time, and with 3 kids (approaching middle and high school) that have wanted a dog since probably before they were born. I grew up with dogs and wanted a dog too! But I also didn’t want the vet visits, food expenses…what do we do with a dog when we want to travel? Fast forward to now and dog-sitting has been a truly epic, awesome experience for all of us. By the time you read this it’s likely we will have reached triple digits of dogs that have stayed here. My kids get to learn about ALL different kinds of dogs which has turned them into lifelong dog lovers. I get the companionship I’m looking for while having a flexible hybrid work schedule. And when you choose us your dog becomes part of our pack, and given the very best care 24/7. I am fully aware that your dog is a member of your family and I truly appreciate your trust in selecting us to care for them. I believe strongly in supporting and giving back to the community, so in addition to fostering dogs we also give a portion of my Rover income back to the local animal shelter. Win-win! What it’s like here: We have a huge fenced-in yard with a horse farm behind us so lots of interesting sights, sounds and smells for your doggie to experience. Many like to hang out on the deck and watch the horses behind our home. Your dog will come home relaxed and happy. Many repeat clients tell me their dogs get excited as soon as they turn onto our street for the next visit because they have happy memories of their last stay. We can hang out with your pooch for doggie day care, overnight, weekend visits, short-term (1-2 weeks), and long-term stays (>2 weeks). We will follow your instructions to a T. Is your dog allowed on your couch? Sure, us too! Does your dog sleep with you? Okay, we can do that! No crate? Sounds great! We want them to enjoy themselves as much as we enjoy having them here. They are truly our guest. It's amazing how quickly the dogs adapt and become part of the family. I’ve cared for dogs that require oral and injected medication, senior dogs, dogs with anxiety, and dogs with diapers. YOUR dog is most welcome. I love figuring out what makes them feel safe and comfortable. Did you know? When searching for a sitter check if the review is flagged "verified stay". Anyone can write a review so only the ones that are flagged this way are legitimate Rover stays!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and deep love for animals that goes far beyond just a job. I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility in East Dundee, IL for two years, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs every shift. It was an exhilarating experience, where I learned that every dog and cat have different needs and unique requirements. I have experience giving many dogs and cats their medications orally and with syringes because of working there. It was never easy, though, as I still have quite a few scratch and bite marks that have turned into scars. But, even with those, my love for animals has only grown and never shrunk. I want to use that experience to help work with dogs that may be the shyer type, ones who, like my own dog, are scared of strangers. I have additionally learned that every one of them have different boundaries and limits, and I have learned to respect those. It amazes me how many breeds are out there, for all animals, and I am excited to mark more off of my mental list once I meet yours! Similarly, at home, I have my own furry family. This includes a cat, dog, and in the past, a rabbit. On top of that, I’ve also fostered several litters of puppies within a 6 month period. I helped them grow strong, learn routines, and get ready for their forever homes. It is amazing how this experience impacted me, as I had the opportunity to be a part of all of their lives in a time where they were fully dependent. Additionally, by choosing me, you will be taking a part in my career path. I am going to be studying pre-vet next fall at a University, Lord-willing to become a veterinarian! Every chance I get to learn more about animals is a step in the right direction in my eyes. So, because of all this experience, I know exactly what it takes to keep the animal that I am taking care of in the most healthy state. Let me know a little, or a lot, about your animal once you book me, I won’t mind at all. I am a full-time student who attends school five days a week from 8-3p.m. I am available every weekday after 3p.m., and all day on Saturday! Reach out to me, and I’ll respond ASAP to see if your needs meet my availability! I will care for the animal with my highest effort, and make sure to always respect the required instructions. My home is a townhouse instead of a single-family home, but that does not mean I do not have space for your animal! I have an extra room in my house to place any animal(s) that I am watching, away from my own. It is a mid-sized empty bedroom that has a bed and a desk. If your dog or cat boards in my home, feel free to provide their favorite toys, blankets, and bed so that they will feel at home with their own belongings in a safe and quiet space. I like to play soft, ambient music before bedtime for my own animals, and I’ll plan on playing some for yours as well, since it can help the nerves.

About: I’ve been a dog sitter since I was young. I’ve also cat sat for several family members before. I love working with cats, dogs, and any other creatures! I have a lot of experience administering almost any kind of medication, from administering fluids to oral meds to transdermal meds. No ask is too much for me! I work Monday-Friday eight to four. So I will work around that. I am also free all weekends. I will even do house stays if needed. I will treat your house as my own. I will leave it the way that you left it. I will also do anything that makes you feel more comfortable with me being in your house

About: I’ve always loved animals and pets and have been taking care of them my entire life. I’ve had a few jobs where I was a doggy day care specialist and have worked as one for 3 years. I have a good sense of how dogs act when anxious nervous or even excited. My job included staying over night with dogs along with walking them and feeding them. I do work at restaurants in the afternoons during the week and weekends till 8. I have three days off a week in which I can daycare dogs and watch over them. Normally Tuesday and Wednesday. Walking is no big deal my availability is always open for walking I provide attentive, personalized care for pets both in my home and in clients’ homes. I make sure each pet stays on their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions. In a client’s home, I also focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining a clean and respectful space. In my home, I create a safe, calm environment where pets get plenty of supervision, attention, and exercise. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, cared for, and stress-free while their owners are away.

About: I am new to professional pet care, but I have a genuine love for animals and enjoy spending time with dogs. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I am excited to provide safe, caring dog walks and drop-in visits and treat every pet like my own. My work schedule varies from week to week but I’m flexible and always make time for pet care. I’m usually able to fit in dog walks and drop in visits on most days, depending on timing. I enjoy being active and spending time with pets, so I will do my best to accommodate requests and keep communication clear. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, attentive presence during walks and drop-in visits, making sure each dog feels secure and cared for. I stay alert to surroundings, use safe handling practices, and always respect each pet’s individual needs and personality.

“Liz was fantastic with my cat! My cat warmed up to her immediately and Liz was very affectionate to her. She brushed her and pet her a lot, which my cat loves! She played with her and made my cat very happy. Liz is very caring and took perfect care of my cat. I would definitely rebook with her!”

About: 12+ years of veterinary experience in general practice & emergency medicine working with cats and dogs. Experience caring for rabbits, pocket pets, birds and much more! I care for your pet the way you would. I will walk, play, and cuddle your baby as if they were my own. I have had pets all my life and have dedicated my life/career to working with them. I treat your house the way I would expect others to treat my house. I am clean, quiet, and courteous of the house rules.

About: Hi Dog lovers! My name is Abigail and dogs have been a part of my life since I can remember. Growing up I was responsible for walking, feeding and pouring attention into our two German shorthaired pointer dogs. When my neighbors would go on vacation they would ask me to watch their four dogs and I also became the 'go to' person when their dogs would get loose in the neighborhood. Fortunately, that never happened on my watch! My current dog is a high energy Pitbull Lab mix, who thinks he is a lap dog. :) Most of the dogs I have worked with have been in the 50-60 pound range but I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Is your dog older? No problem, I can sit and give them lots of love or take them on a gentle walk. Is your dog high energy? Again, no problem, I have one of those of my own and I can play fetch or tug-a-war with them! I have no problem administering medicine if needed too. During the school year I work in a high school and coach swimming so my availability is from 3:30pm - 6:00pm, and anytime on the weekends. During the summer my schedule is much more flexible during the week and weekends. I consider myself a dog magnet because any time I encounter a dog, even for the first time, they like to jump on me or wiggle their butts, seeking my attention! Providing walks, belly rubs, and playing fetch are my jam. Dogs mean the world to me and I would love the opportunity to shower your fur babies with attention. During the school year, I am available 3:30pm - 6:00pm and weekends. During the summer (June & July) I have flexibility in my schedule every day. I am comfortable taking dogs to the park, walking them or playing with them indoor home/yard. If it is a high energy dog, I can also take them for a run.

“Heather took really good care of my cats while I was away for a few days. She sent great pictures and updates, so I knew each day how they were doing. I would definitely book with Heather again!”

“great communication!! will definitely reach out again when i need help with my pets!”

About: I have loved animals—especially cats since childhood. They have been a part of my life all along. I had my own cat for 13 years and loved looking after and caring for him. For the time being, I don't work on certain days, so I can spend the whole day with your pet and give them all my love! I love showing affection and taking an interest in spending time with pets—whether at my own home or a client's because every animal deserves attention.

About: My husband and I have had dogs our entire lives. We have fostered dogs in the past and our children and current dog both love friendly furry pets! I have very open availability- I am a stay at home mom and 2 of my kids are in school. So outside of drop off and pick ups I have open availability! I have a fenced yard and a friendly small dog to keep your pet company! We enjoy going on walks around the neighborhood and playing fetch in the backyard.

About: I've cared for pets my whole life. I've kept aquariums, grew up with dogs, even raised two puppies in my time. Unfortunately I am allergic to cats and do not want to track dandruff home, so I will not be offering services for cats aside from drop ins. I'm a dad trying to be more active, make friends, and provide a service to the community. I love pets and I think they are an absolute blessing. For my fee I will actively exercise and play with your pets, teach them tricks or commands (if desired), and ensure they are pampered, engaged with, and given attention, rather than simply supervision. I'm currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule, so I can accommodate most requests. I would be happy to look after your family pet, no matter the occasion! How I care for your pet is entirely up to you, I will accommodate whichever preferences you may have. Every pet deserves to be played with, get exercise, and be well pampered. Rubs downs, brushing, bathing, I'm comfortable caring for your pet how you know best.

About: We as a family do not have any dogs or cats in the home, so your fur friend will get all the love and attention it needs. We love to spoil them if we can and let them explore our home like it's their own. During the week, I am typically at work during the day, but i work remotely at least once a week so i can be flexible with enough notice. I will always make sure your pets are fed and are given proper bathroom time, no one likes accidents inside the home, but sometimes they do occur. I will clean it as well as possible and make sure your fur friend is okay and give them all the love. I do understand that some pets can be more hesitant or shy, I am always prepared to gain their trust over time and would never rush the process.

About: Hi there! I’m Shaifali — a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to two friendly pups, Lali and Phoebe. 🐾 I have over 11 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs of all ages and sizes — from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. As a full-time nurse who works nights, I’m available during the day and have a flexible schedule to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. What I offer: • Lots of love, cuddles, and playtime • Safe, fun walks (I love going on long walks and exploring nature trails!) • Experience with administering medications • Knowledge of special diets and health needs (my own dog is on a GI-friendly diet, so I understand how important it is to follow food schedules carefully) Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease knowing your best friend is in good hands. Let’s set up your pup’s next walk or playdate — I can’t wait to meet them! 🐶💛 I currently work full time as a nurse on night shift. I have a lot of flexibility in the day to watch dogs due to working at night! I have 2 friendly dogs Lali and Phoebe in my home. Dogs are leashed at all times when outside. If you have a special diet for your pet please let me know as well as a food schedule! I understand special dietary needs for pets. My dog Phoebe herself is on a low fat GI diet due to chronic pancreatitis.

About: Pets have always been a big part of my life, and I care for every animal with genuine love, patience, and attention. I’m experienced with walks, feeding, baths, playtime, and comforting pets who may feel shy, anxious, or lonely. I take my time learning each pet’s personality and routine so they feel understood, safe, and cared for. My goal is for every pet to feel relaxed, protected, and truly loved while their family is away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I make time every day for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets attention and comfort. I’m very consistent and flexible, so I can easily fit their needs into my schedule. Your pet will be welcomed into a loving home with three friendly dogs and a gentle cat who enjoy having company. I always supervise playtime, keep routines consistent, and make sure every pet feels safe, calm, and cared for. I can crate if needed.

“Miranda was fantastic. She stopped to meet Zelda before the scheduled walks. She kept me updated and everything went perfectly. Zelda feels comfortable with her already and they get along great. Highly recommended!”

“Levi did an incredible job with my 8 year old reserved Boxer, Roo. I contacted Levi within a few days of needing someone to help walk and feed her, and they quickly responded and eagerly accepted. My pup is on a special homemade diet for her kidney disease, and Levi followed all instructions and made sure Roo was taken care of. If you need a trusted person to look after your beloved pets, they are in safe hands with Levi! 100% recommend and I will for sure be booking with them again! :) Thanks again, Levi!”
