This is our first time using Erika. We are 100% pleased and happy with every aspect of the job. I do have to state that I have a very very difficult job. We have seven cats with seven different needs and several different personalities. Erica did everything. I asked her to do. She is personable and kind. She is very very detailed with her pictures and her updates. She will even update if she’s going to be a little earlier or later than usual. We had to do some tweaking at the beginning of the job which she did not mind one bit. She even did things. I didn’t ask her to do like change certain water, fountains, and retrieve packages. I knew she would, though I really really love the updates. I loved knowing that my cats were very happy with her, taking care of them, which the pictures indicated. I already have her booked for a future reservation. Super happy I found such a gem!

Paula is amazing! She knew exactly how to approach our picky German shepherd and adjusted to his needs. She was very calm and comfortable with him. She became his best friend when she walked in with a pup cup in hand. So happy to have found someone reliable we can count on to take care of our fur baby when we go out of town. Thank you!!

About: I've spent over a decade caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes and personalities and I absolutely love it! Whether it is a high-energy pup who is ready to chase squirrels through imaginary forests, a wise senior pet who perfers sun soaked naps, or a tender-hearted rescue dog who needs a safe, calm environment, I tailor my care to honor each pet's unique rhythm and soul. My priority is to always provide safe, loving and personalized care so your pet feels comfortable, joyful and truly at home. I am reliable, communicative and detail oriented so that you can relax knowing your pet is in capable, caring hands. The services I provide range from walks through leafy paths, nourishing meals, enchanting playtime, cleanup and administering daily medications. I treat each and every pet like family and I would be honored to welcome yours into my little circle of tail-wagging magic. My schedule is open and flexible, typically from 7am to 8pm every day of the week. I am happy to tailor my availability to suit your needs, whether it is for an sunrise stroll, or a quiet evening check in, I'll be there with a calm reliability and a gentle presence that puts both you and your pet at ease. I take my time to get to know each and every animal I provide care for, whether it is walking, drop in vists or housesitting so they feel safe, understood and truly at ease. I strive to create a calm, secure environment that feels a little magical where your pet can relax, play and be themselves. Think of me as a gentle guardian, frolicking through the day with your furry companion making sure their needs are met with kindness and care.

About: I don't have any professional experience but I grew up with dogs since I was born. I don't have my own pets so I have a lot of time to give yours. I am available on all day on weekends. If you’re within a couple of miles of Geneva I am available to go let your dogs out on my lunch break and then dog sit after on weekdays. I will respect your home and pets safety when I visit. I can't wait to play with your pet and make sure while you are away they are cared for and secure.

Jessica was the perfect person to check in on my cat. First, she responded quickly and courteously to all my communications. Second, she took wonderful care of Bruce following all the instructions I left. She completed the checks on time and created nice reports with pictures and descriptions of how Bruce was doing. My mind was at ease and I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing Jessica was taking care of Bruce…definitely recommend booking her services!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life — I’m 38 now, so that’s a lot of years loving pups! I’ve cared for everything from tiny 5 lb cuties to big 120+ lb snugglers, and dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve worked on training with all my own dogs and have no problem giving medications when needed. As a foster with a local rescue, I’ve helped anxious, scared, and quirky dogs feel safe and loved. I truly believe every dog is unique, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for like family. I work from home most of the week, so your pup will get plenty of attention, love, and company! I only go into the office one day a week, and that day is flexible and usually short. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your dog! I live in a pet-friendly apartment and provide lots of walks, snuggles, and personalized care. I limit how many dogs I take at once to make sure everyone gets the attention they need. My own three dogs are friendly and used to sharing their space, but I can also crate your pup if that’s part of their routine or helps them feel safe.

Jenny accepted our *very* last-minute request after our scheduled plans fell through and for that alone I would've given her 5 stars! But Jenny went above and beyond when taking care of our dog. There were lots of pictures, even videos, and walks for the dog - and for the humans, when we came home there was a lovely dish of Xmas cookies waiting for us! We couldn't have ask for anything better. I can't say it too many times - THANK YOU!!!

This was our first time using Rover and selected Don based on prior reviews. Don has gone above and beyond, exceeding our expectation with his check-in's on our Maltipoo. Our little guy can be sheepish and nervous with strangers, but Don worked to earn trust with our pup and made him feel safe. We would highly recommend Don!

About: Your dog will be treated like family when he is in my home or on a walk with me. While your dog is in my care he will be my number one priority. I do everything I can to make sure your sweet dog will be treated with great care and love while with me. I want my doggie guests to have a stress free fun time! We will be sure to get in walks and play time or just relaxing in the backyard. I would be willing to take multiple dogs from the same family for overnight stays. I am available for dog walking Monday thru Friday. I am flexible on these times so please contact me with any questions. I am a stay at home Mom but I am normally gone during the week for a few hours a day walking dogs. If you are interested in doggie day care please note that I am gone for a few hours a day. Some days I am only gone for an hour or so. Ruby (my sweet dog) is always home and loves to have doggie friends stay with her. For dog walking I will do any kind of visit you are interested in. Short walk, longer walk or just some playtime in the backyard, whatever works for you and your dog will work for me. We have a 23 year old son who is living and working back home since graduating college. I am a dog lover of all breeds and sizes and look forward to meeting you and your dog. Please feel free to message me with any questions or concerns you may have. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your dog. We love to take walks in the neighborhood and we love to play enrichment games. I am a certified professional dog trainer and love "testing out" new fun games on my dog and guests we have. I have been a dog walker for many years. I watch body language of the dog I am working with to make sure the dog is comfortable. I have taken fear free courses and understand that each dog is an individual with their own needs.

About: I have had pets since I can remember, being the main caretaker for many years. I have had 3 huskies, I can handle anything your pet wants to throw at me. I had only had dogs my entire life until my Snoop Katt. Snoop Katt turned 8 this year and I have had her since she was a kitten. I am a lover of all animals, big or small. I am currently working full-time, 8am-5pm Monday through Friday. So I am available after work every night, as well as fully available on the weekends. I recently moved here from Colorado, but I have lived in Illinois twice before. I am incredibly flexible and willing to accommodate. I have had dogs my entire life, I have had huskies more than any other breed so I am capable of handling anything your animal throws at me. Huskies are smart and love to escape, that has trained me to take extra good care of all animals. I also have a cat that loves to go outside. I follow directions and am incredibly flexible, let me know what you need and I will be happy to accommodate.

About: 🐾 About Me I’m a recent empty nester who just relocated to the area—and while I couldn’t bring my own pets with me, I took the thing that weighed heaviest on my heart—leaving my animals behind—and turned it into a service that brings peace of mind to others who feel the same way when they have to be away. I know how important it is to trust that your pets are in loving, capable hands. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or simply some comforting company while you’re at work or on vacation, I offer personalized, consistent care tailored to your pet’s personality and routine. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and kind—someone both you and your pets can feel good about. 🐾 My Schedule I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, with some flexibility in the afternoons. That means I’m available for early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. Weekends I am available anytime—Perfect for those with nontraditional work hours, busy family life, and travelers. While my weekday availability may not suit every situation, it can be an ideal fit for households looking for a reliable, attentive presence—even for house sitting. Overnight stays may also be an option if your home is safe, welcoming, and pet-ready. And if your pet is well-trained, housebroken, and comfortable in new environments, I may be able to host them in my home. Let’s connect and see what works best for both you and your pets! 🐾 Safety, Trust & Environment Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first. When I provide care in your home, I aim to create a calm, consistent environment where your pet can stick to their familiar routines. I offer companionship, playtime, regular walks, feeding, and household needs—like bringing in mail or watering plants—so things feel just right while you’re away. I’m also happy to accommodate special requests like pick-ups or drop-offs for vet or grooming appointments. Overnight stays are available for homes that are safe, comfortable, and pet-ready. If your pet stays with me, they’ll receive the same loving attention in a quiet, clean, and peaceful environment. I only open my home to well-trained and housebroken pets to ensure a calm, low-stress experience for everyone. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, outdoor playtime, or a peaceful night’s rest, I make sure your pet feels like part of the family. I have a spacious and clean apartment. My complex only has 12 apartments that sits on acres of garden, grass, wooded land. With a dependable, respectful approach you can feel confident your pets are in good hands.

Nick is an exceptional pet sitter and dog walker who truly shines in his care for dogs. Having grown up with dogs, he has a deep, genuine love for them that’s evident in every interaction.

This was our first time using Rover and selected Don based on prior reviews. Don has gone above and beyond, exceeding our expectation with his check-in's on our Maltipoo. Our little guy can be sheepish and nervous with strangers, but Don worked to earn trust with our pup and made him feel safe. We would highly recommend Don!

My cats loved Patience from their first meeting. I knew she would take great care of them. My furbabies have special needs and she followed directions perfectly! She stayed with them the full time, and sent me a report on their eating and toileting.

I have known Jennifer for 25 years and have watched her love and care for, not only her own pets, but other people's dogs as well. She is so patient, kind, and loving to all animals. She spends a lot of time outdoors and would always be seen walking her dog in the neighborhood. She would be the perfect person to care for your pet, and she is the person I have chosen and would choose to watch my dog!

About: 🐾 About Me I’m a recent empty nester who just relocated to the area—and while I couldn’t bring my own pets with me, I took the thing that weighed heaviest on my heart—leaving my animals behind—and turned it into a service that brings peace of mind to others who feel the same way when they have to be away. I know how important it is to trust that your pets are in loving, capable hands. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or simply some comforting company while you’re at work or on vacation, I offer personalized, consistent care tailored to your pet’s personality and routine. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and kind—someone both you and your pets can feel good about. 🐾 My Schedule I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, with some flexibility in the afternoons. That means I’m available for early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. Weekends I am available anytime—Perfect for those with nontraditional work hours, busy family life, and travelers. While my weekday availability may not suit every situation, it can be an ideal fit for households looking for a reliable, attentive presence—even for house sitting. Overnight stays may also be an option if your home is safe, welcoming, and pet-ready. And if your pet is well-trained, housebroken, and comfortable in new environments, I may be able to host them in my home. Let’s connect and see what works best for both you and your pets! 🐾 Safety, Trust & Environment Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first. When I provide care in your home, I aim to create a calm, consistent environment where your pet can stick to their familiar routines. I offer companionship, playtime, regular walks, feeding, and household needs—like bringing in mail or watering plants—so things feel just right while you’re away. I’m also happy to accommodate special requests like pick-ups or drop-offs for vet or grooming appointments. Overnight stays are available for homes that are safe, comfortable, and pet-ready. If your pet stays with me, they’ll receive the same loving attention in a quiet, clean, and peaceful environment. I only open my home to well-trained and housebroken pets to ensure a calm, low-stress experience for everyone. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, outdoor playtime, or a peaceful night’s rest, I make sure your pet feels like part of the family. I have a spacious and clean apartment. My complex only has 12 apartments that sits on acres of garden, grass, wooded land. With a dependable, respectful approach you can feel confident your pets are in good hands.
