Pet Sitting in Belvidere

“We’ve used Scott several times now and he has always come through for us even on short notice. He’s great with our normally very shy dogs. 10/10”

About: I’ve always had pets as a kid, and the same as an adult! It’s a privilege to be able to care for my own “babies” and others ❤️ I have two cats and a dog, so my days are quite pet-oriented. The cats need a little less care than my dog, but they all get loved equally 🥰 I treat my animals extremely well, and other pets I treat like my own! All animals are important to love and care for, big or small 😇

“Alyssa went above and beyond! Our dogs love her!”

Janet L.

“Gretchen was wonderful! Our first time hiring a pet sitter and she made us feel much more at ease about it. She showed up, did everything asked of her for our 2 dogs, 2 cats, & 2 aquariums. I felt she was very capable of administering insulin to our newly diabetic kitty. Kept in daily contact providing updates and many pictures which is always reassuring. Even sent photos of our chickens which we did not hire her to provide care for. <3 Looking forward to having her come help with our fur babies in the future.”

“Sam was absolutely wonderful with our cat while we were away. She was able to give him his insulin every day no problem and went above and beyond in making sure he was loved while we were gone.”

“Brittney’s super sweet with my fur baby boy. She’s always on time, never late, and makes sure my baby is given rubs and love during her visits ? Will definitely book her again. Thanks Brittney !!!”

About: Hello! I’m an experienced pet lover with over 5 years on Rover, caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. As the proud owner of two Great Danes, ages 1 and 2, I understand the needs of larger breeds, from daily exercise to specialized care. My experience with these gentle giants has taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to handle big personalities with ease. Whether you need someone to walk, feed, or simply keep your pets company, you can trust me to provide the care and love they deserve. Looking forward to meeting your furry family members! I work at schools and have a lot of flexibility in the summer to meet your needs. My experience with large breeds means I’m comfortable managing pets of all sizes, ensuring they get the exercise, companionship, and attention they need. I look forward to giving your pets a safe and caring environment while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities during every visit, walk and stay. When caring for pets in their own homes, I ensure a safe environment by following your routines and respecting any special instructions you provide. I take precautions to make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape points are secure, and I always keep your pet on a leash during walks, using proper harnesses or collars to prevent accidents. I’m also vigilant about their surroundings to avoid any risks, such as unsafe plants, other animals, or traffic. Building trust with you and your pet is essential. I keep communication open, sharing updates and photos so you know how things are going and feel reassured that your pet is in good hands. With my flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate time and attention to meet each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and cared for even when you’re not there.

“Lauren was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! She took care of Tilly our “spicy” and sometimes difficult cat with ease. She always sent us photos and was very communicative. I will definitely hire her again when needed and would highly recommend!!!”

Marina M.

“From the reports and Rover card photos Izzy really enjoyed Emma's company, and despite being a shy cat, he came out and let her brush him right away. She made me feel comfortable leaving Izzy in someone else's care for the first time. I will definitely book her for my next trip, if she's available.”

“Autumn is the best, she always comes through for us! This year we planned our annual week trip down in the Carolinas, and this year our pup had some separation anxiety to say the least. Autumn helped with every facet of figuring out how to calm him down and even took him for walks which were not originally planned.. she is the bees knees and would highly recommend her!!”

About: Hi, I’m Katelynn! I have 2 years of experience working as a veterinary assistant, where I became comfortable caring for animals with patience, attention to detail, and a calm approach. I also regularly watched my neighbor’s dog from 2015 until 2018, giving me hands-on experience with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and keeping a pet safe and comfortable while their owner was away. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m gentle, reliable, and attentive, especially with pets who may be nervous, shy, older, or need a little extra patience. I will treat your pet like part of the family and keep you updated so you know they are safe and cared for. I have plenty of availability for pet care, especially during the summer. Since I do not drive, I am best suited for local walks, nearby drop-in visits, or care where the owner can handle drop-off and pick-up. I’m happy to spend time playing, walking, feeding, and keeping your pet company while following their normal routine as closely as possible. Alternatively, my husband can drop me off and pick me up. I care for pets with patience, attention, and respect for their routine. I have 2 years of experience as a veterinary assistant, so I understand how important safety, clear instructions, and careful observation are. I also regularly watched my neighbor’s dog from 2015 to 2018, which gave me hands-on experience with feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. In a client’s home, I will follow all instructions for feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications if discussed ahead of time, and household rules. I will make sure doors, gates, leashes, and crates are secure, and I will send updates so owners know their pet is safe and cared for. I’m especially patient with shy, nervous, senior, or sensitive pets.

“Allie provides excellent care and attention to our cat during her visits. She provides expert documentation via the report cards, which gives me much peace of mind. I book with Allie time after time for while we are away. I know my very particular (11 year old) Siamese is in expert hands.”

“David was very caring and took the time to help my dogs get used to him.”

Heidi M.

“We had such a great experience! Our request was very last minute, and she was incredibly accommodating and responsive. She even came by before our trip to go over everything, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was so kind, attentive, and clearly cares about the animals she looks after. She not only took great care of our cats, but was also able to check on our chickens, which we really appreciated. It made being away so much easier knowing all of our animals were in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!”

“Jessi was wonderful. I booked her at the last minute. Her response time was great and she accommodated my needs. Would definitely rebook her.”

Nina S.

“Grace and Brett were amazing! They treated Mila like she was their own! I was nervous at first (always am when someone new comes to keep an eye on her), but they immediately loved on our girl! They were attentive and super communicative! Loved the pictures they sent throughout! I WILL book them again!”

About: We own a local family pet care business; and we believe every pet deserves to be treated like family. With years of hands-on experience, advanced training, and a lifelong passion for animals, we provide reliable, loving care for pets of all kinds. I’ve lived with animals my whole life—dogs, cats, birds, and small pets—so creating a safe, comforting space for them comes naturally. With over 25 years of hands-on experience, I’ve worked with pets of all ages and needs, from energetic puppies to seniors and special-needs animals who require extra patience and understanding. I’m trained in Pet First Aid and always focus on maintaining steady routines and low-stress care. Whether your pet needs playtime, calm companionship, medication reminders, or just someone gentle they can trust, I’m here to make them feel at home while you’re away. My family also loves giving back to the community—we regularly donate to local shelters to help support animals in need. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do; it’s a part of who I am. My schedule is flexible and I’m available most days of the week. This allows me to give your pets the time and attention they deserve — and makes it easier for you to book care that fits their routine. I always supervise outdoor time to ensure they’re safe and happy. I make sure the environment is clean and tidy. My goal is to ensure they feel at home while their owners are away, with a mix of outdoor fun, indoor comfort, and plenty of love.

“Darlene was a perfect match for our pup Daphne. Darlene is down-to-earth and it’s clear she’s worked around animals for a long time, and knows what to do. Daphne is a 14-week old puppy and Darlene knew exactly the kind of attention she needed. Darlene kept us updated with photos and explained each visit.”

Chris P.

“Sarah is fantastic! She came to our house and played with our dog, Natalie, while we were gone for the day. We received an update and photos at the end of the visit, which we really appreciated. Thank you, Sarah! Natalie can’t wait to see you again :)”

“Mason instantly has a great connection with every animal he meets. He even pets my cat that hates everyone and hides constantly. His response time and attention to detail is highly commendable. I can leave knowing my animals are in genuine loving care.”
