“Gwendolyn went above and beyond! She made my parents nervous dog immediately at ease. Phenomenal communication, and was incredibly flexible working with me. I very highly recommend!”
About: Hello, my name is Ayla. I have been taking care of a variety of pets my entire life. Whether that be my own, my families, or my neighbors. I started working in the pet industry when I was 17. I have worked at stores like Petco and Petsmart. I take a great interest in POSITIVE dog training, and grainfree dog food and treats. I believe our loved ones deserve the best we can offer. My pets are my family and I will always treat other animals the way I treat my own. With love, compassion and patience. I have never been a groomer but I love giving pets a good brushing to keep their coat clean and tangle free. Currently my family consists of three large dogs and two kittens we rescued from the side of the road. I currently am a stay at home dog mom so I can easily adjust plans and care for your pets. I would love for you to consider hiring me. Please note, for house sittings I am willing and prefer to stay at your house. I believe this helps reduce stress and anxiety. I aim to replicate the care and companionship you would give your fur baby. Available every day and any time, I typically have appointments in the afternoon. I take care of my 4 animals while my husband works and study herbalism in my free time. Whenever I take care of another pet I treat them as my own. With tons of pets and love! I will respect your home and leave it as I found it or better. I like to give dogs walk and play with them while I am visiting.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I’ve worked at pet stores and currently work at a Doggy Daycare and Boarding facility (Love Unleashed, St. Louis) while at university. I want to make pets feel the least amount of stress as possible, while their humans are away. I want to give them Love, Security, and Fun. For this Summer, I’m available after 6pm Monday -Thursday. And anytime Friday- Sunday until August 20th when I head back to University. I will be completely available for Pet sitting in the Lake County area during the winter holidays. Each situation is different so the amount of time spent with a pet will be dictated by the pet parent. Whatever your fur baby needs is what I will give them. If I am house sitting, I will respect your space and follow the rules and standards that you set. I will ensure fences are latched and leashes are secured. Each pet will have their individual needs met.

“Sara is an absolute delight and my two Havanese love her! The pictures are great and show them happy and playing during their visit as well as during their walk. I will continue to have use her services.”
About: I grew up with a sweet smooth collie and helped take care of her throughout my childhood. These days I take care of friends and families dogs while they go on vacation or just need a quick sitter for the day/night. I also have a pet chinchilla, Cheaches, that I take care of everyday :) I'm a elementary teacher, so my availability during the summer is very open. I plan to be home full time most days but things do come up. If I need to be away I will always prioritize coming back to care for the pets. I'm very comfortable with all dogs no matter the size or breed. I have handled a variety of dogs from timid to major explorers. Any instructions given to me I will happily follow. I have always had a easy time connecting with dogs! They are truly mans best friend and I understand just how much they mean to their families :)

Antioch dog parents share their Rover experiences
Janelle was absolutely amazing with my three Goldendoodles—13-year-old Lucy and 4-year-old sisters Maggie and Phoebe. She was so caring and attentive to their individual needs, especially with Lucy being a senior. Her updates and photos were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear my dogs were happy and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Janelle to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!
