About: My husband and I have a lot of experience caring for cats, dogs, and birds. I've been house sitting /animal sitting for around 7 years on the side. I absolutely love animals, and I've had experience caring for a large variety of them. I've watched 4 large dogs at a time, all of whom needed special medication and attention. I care for every animal like they're my own, and just absolutely love being around dogs. I have a spacious home and I am very attentive. I live in a safe neighborhood, and I am by my phone 24/7 so can be in contact with you at any time. I work remotely and sometimes have to go in to the office. My husband is almost always home, and we always make sure someone is at home to be with the animals. Care is always personalized to the dogs needs. We go for regular walks, follow any dietary restrictions, and always check with the pet-parent if there's anything else needed.

About: I love all the furry babies, my own fur babies are treated like my children. I work from home, so your baby would have my attention through the entire day. We would have time to play, walk, snuggle, and bond. I have a large fenced in back yard. Your baby would feel at home and comfortable in my home, they would have full access to roam and wander. They also would be allowed on the couches / beds for snuggles and belly rubs. I work from home, giving me the flexibility to ensure your pup has plenty of time and attention. I have an 11 year old son who is just as much as an animal lover. I have a large fenced in back yard. My foxy girl loves to get her zoomies out back there, and loves playing fetch. My son will love on, play, and engage with your pup also.

“Jennifer took excellent care of my Border Collie, Fiona. This was her second stay with Jennifer, and Fiona was thrilled when we got out of the truck to drop her off. I highly recommend Jennifer to care for anyone's dog.”

About: I have loved and owned dogs since i was 10, I'm not a professional trainer but i have trained my own dogs in obedience and nosework.

I have a secure 4-ft chain link fence and supervise your pet during outdoor time. My two dogs and a friendly visitor dog provide great company and play opportunities.

“Denise was AMAZING with our dogs. She is great with communicating and it is obvious how much she loves the animals in her care! We got held up and were very late picking up our two dogs, and she was very accomadating! Definitely would recommend Denise to anyone needing care for their animals!”

About: I have had dogs all my life & have taken care of friends & family’s pets. I tend to adopt “problem” dogs that other people can’t handle. I love a challenge & gaining the trust of the dog. I used to frequent the Dominican Republic to feed & give flea baths to the neglected street dogs out there. I’m currently working from home & was a bartender for the last 20 yrs but now looking for a new career with animals because they are my true passion. I just moved to the Gardner, Illinois for a bigger yard & a 6ft privacy fence to expand my dog sitting business. I also have a small pool for the dogs. I have lots of gates up throughout the house & different rooms I can put dogs in if any need to separated. I also have large crates I can use.

“Kristine took great care of dogs.”

“Angelo and Dawn were very accommodating and kind towards us and our dogs. Dusty and Sophie seemed very comfortable with them so we felt comfortable letting them stay with Angelo and Dawn. We received video updates which was more helpful than photos. They looked so happy being there. When we picked them up Dusty and Sophie seemed like they didn’t want to come back with us. It’s as if they wanted to stay longer. We’re happy we found them through Rover. Angelo and Dawn, thank you for caring our pups today. We shall be repeat customers when visiting again. ?”

Plenty of cushions and a couch indoors. I can crate if needed.

“Karen and Tom were great with my girl Xo. Their big yard is perfect for Xo and her excess energy! They kept me updated and sent photos and videos of Xo. I was very pleased with Xo’s overall stay. Xo normally doesn’t eat when staying in a new environment. However, Karen was able to get Xo to eat comfortably. Xo enjoyed her stay, she came back an happy girl. I feel very comfortable leaving Xo with Karen and Tom and would definitely recommend them!”
