“It was our very first time using this service and we were a bit nervous. Jeff was available even on the short notice. From the first time we met Jeff we felt good. He is an experienced sitter. Cats felt comfortable around him. Jeff was very responsible. He ensured we received photos from each visit. Cats looked good and relaxed. Definitely will be calling him again in the future.”

About: I’ve spent the past 6–7 years caring for animals through the Kankakee County Humane Foundation, where I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all different sizes, personalities, backgrounds, and comfort levels. I also currently care for boarding pets at VCA County West Animal Hospital and have been pet sitting for several years. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic, playful pups to shy, nervous, or more reserved pets. Being around such a wide variety of animals has taught me how important patience, body language, routine, and earning an animal’s trust truly are. I genuinely adore animals and treat every pet in my care like they’re one of my own. 🐾 I currently work in animal care, so my schedule is consistent and easy to plan around. I’m at the shelter Mondays and Fridays from 7:30 AM–5 PM. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays I work split shifts at VCA from 7:30–11 AM and 4:30–7:30 PM, leaving me available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care during the middle of the day and later evenings. Saturdays I work 7:30–10 AM and 5–7:30 PM, with a large window available in between. I’m also generally available on Sundays and am happy to work with your pet’s routine whenever possible. As I grow my Rover clientele, I’d love to dedicate even more of my schedule to pet sitting and caring for your pets! 🐾 I live in a quiet, friendly neighborhood in Bradley with a fully fenced 4-foot chain-link yard. I have two dogs of my own who are incredibly sweet and friendly, but I understand that not every pet is comfortable around other animals. Introductions would always be done slowly and carefully, and I have a spare bedroom that can be set up as a cozy, quiet space for your pet if they need their own area to relax. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, potty, walking, crate, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. Pets will be supervised while outside, and I’m comfortable keeping animals separated when needed based on personality or comfort level. Because of my years of shelter and animal-hospital experience, I’m used to reading body language, working with nervous or shy pets, and adjusting my approach to what makes each individual animal feel safe. My goal is for your pet to feel secure, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. 🐾

“Emma is wonderful with our cats and just the sweetest person. We are so thankful to have found her and to have her available when home from school!”

About: Taking care of your animal will be my number one priority. I love animals, I will be more than attentive to their needs and accommodate anything you would like. I’m available any time you need me and I will take in any animal, big, small, furry, hairless, you name it! I love them all. I’ve had animals my whole life so I know how to take care of dogs, I’ve had cats now for 5 years and kittens and it’s a handful but it has taught me so many things needed to be a perfect sitter! I love getting pets toys, and fancy food sometimes to spoil them so expect that (if it’s fone with the owner) of course. I can’t wait to meet you and your lovely pet!

About: I’ve had dogs, bunnies, and other animals my whole life! I just graduated college, and am looking for a good way to spend my extra time right now:) I currently have a very open schedule, so there’s not much that wouldn’t fit into my routine right now. Pet care would be the perfect addition to my routine:) I have a lot of experience caring for pets in other peoples homes. I love taking dogs for walks, and playing with them especially when the weather is nice!

About: I've been caring for animals most of my life, from growing up with family dogs to being a dedicated cat owner for the past four years. Caring for pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and giving each animal the love and attention they deserve. Although I'm new to Rover, I'm committed to providing dependable, personalized care and treating every pet like they're part of my own family. I'll always follow your pet's routine, keep you updated with photos, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm available Monday through Saturday during the morning and afternoon for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I have a flexible part-time schedule, so I'm happy to work with your pet's routine whenever possible. Sundays are my day off, so I'm unavailable that day. When caring for your pet in your home, I'll follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of playtime, walks (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I'll also keep your home tidy, clean up after your pet, and provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for in the place they know best.

“It was great to get pictures and an update after each visit. When I got home the litter boxes were both clean and the food and water dishes were both clean and filled. Will definitely use the service and Destiny again.”

About: I love animals. I have owned a horse, birds and fish. Although I never owned a dog or cat, Friends and family have always asked me to pet sit and I have always been more than happy to ablige. As a former letter Carrier, my favorite customers were four-legged. I am retired and want to stay active. Who can keep you more fit and active than a dog that is waiting for a walk-date? When I have dog sat, I usually go for multiple walks. I can walk all day. The dogs love it and it makes them tired. Animals need mental stimulation outside of their house or yard just like people. I try to find things to keep us both busy and happy.

About: I love to spend time with them , I like to play with them, I like to take them to the park. I will always keep them on a leash. I can teach them some tricks, sit , stay roll over. I can take them out every two hours, to go potty. I can keep them over night. I took care of a one eye cat, I took care of a blind dog. I have had dogs in diapers. I took care of a Yorkshire, who was pregnant, she went into labor at my house, and my mom and I delivered three little babies they came out every forty minutes. We help clean the babies, and my dog Chuckie helped to. Give them kisses, hugs.

About: With 25 years of experience around dogs, I have developed a strong understanding of canine behavior, training, handling, and everyday care. I have experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I believe every dog deserves patience, consistency, structure, and individual attention. Whether caring for an energetic puppy or an older companion, I tailor my approach to each dog’s personality, needs, and established routine. I personally provide all care for pets booked through Rover, including feeding, walking, exercise, supervision, and daily routines. I am the sole caretaker and take pride in providing a safe, comfortable, and positive experience for every dog in my care. Caring for dogs is a regular part of my daily life. I enjoy providing a balance of exercise, playtime, relaxation, and structured routines. We’re conveniently located near beautiful Lake Michigan, giving us access to wonderful walking areas and outdoor activities. I also enjoy taking suitable dogs to Jackson Bark Dog Park for exercise, play, and socialization when appropriate and approved by their owners. Whether your dog enjoys an active day outdoors or prefers relaxing inside with the family, I make sure their daily routine is tailored to their individual needs. Dogs in my care receive attention, companionship, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy themselves! I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where every dog feels at home. Our property features spacious, dedicated kennel runs, allowing each dog to have its own comfortable space when needed. Our guests aren’t limited to their kennels, though! Dogs are also welcome inside our home to relax, spend time with the family, and enjoy a more personal boarding experience. We’re located near beautiful Lake Michigan, providing wonderful opportunities for walks and outdoor exercise. One of our favorite destinations is Jackson Bark Dog Park, which offers a separate private area where dogs can enjoy individual exercise and playtime without interacting with unfamiliar dogs. This is especially beneficial for dogs that prefer their own space or aren’t comfortable in large groups. Visits are offered when appropriate and with owner approval. As an experienced dog trainer, I understand canine behavior, body language, and the importance of structured routines. I carefully consider each dog’s personality, comfort level, and compatibility before allowing interactions with other dogs. My goal is to provide more than just boarding. I want every dog to enjoy exercise, companionship, affection, and individualized care while giving their owners peace of mind.
