Top rated Belvidere pet sitters
“She responded to my panicked message after about being in the ER with no one to check on my dog. She had already been by earlier to walk and feed him. This blessed angel came over after 10PM to sit with my pup while I was in the ER. A million gold stars! I owe her so much!”
“Having Diane check on our Violet has been a game changer. Violet is doing so much better being at home and knowing that Diane is coming to spend time with her and let her outside takes all my worry away. I highly recommend Diane”
“Nicole was fantastic! She sent photos and little status updates on how Winnie was doing throughout the day! It was nice to see these nice messages while I was away from my dog. Winnie and I greatly appreciated your care of her this past week! I would highly recommend Nicole for all your pet needs! I will be using her services in the future, thank you again!”
“Maria dropped in to take care of my three cats while I was on vacation. She did a great job! I received daily updates and pictures which helped me know Maria was taking good care of them. She is such a caring person and I trusted her completely with my fur babies. The next time I am out of town I will definitely connect with Maria and hope she can care for my kitties again.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life! Specifically I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 19 years old. I took care of my two golden retrievers for 10 years until they passed over the rainbow bridge. I love that every pet has a unique personality, which requires individual and unique care. You can rest assured that if you choose me to watch your pet, they will be given plenty of love and quality care! I am currently working from home as a telehealth nurse. This job allows me flexibility that grants me to schedule dates and times as needed for the pet owner. I am a huge advocate for giving the best care to every pet I watch. This includes following the instructions that are set by the pet owner, as they know the needs of their fur-babies best. If you do not have a specific set of instructions, I do my best to ensure that the pet has had plenty of exercise, personalized attention, basic needs such as food and water, and potty time.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a little kid and I’ve been taking care of my neighbors dog for 4 years! I love animals and I get along with them great even if they aren’t fond with me quite yet! I will play with them and do whatever I can to make them happy! I am in college and I play a sport so we get our schedules weekly but I will have time to take care of your pups! We have an invisible fence in my yard so the dogs don’t run away! But if they need to go outside I will sit with them because I like to keep them company! And when I want to walk them I will take them on a nice walk around the neighborhood!
About: My family has always had three dogs at a time, and most of them were rescues. I have been a dog lover since I was little. Dogs naturally love me. I am between jobs right now, and I want to fill that time doing what I love. Unfortunately, where I currently live does not allow dogs. I follow strict care schedules and have experience with medicated dogs. I am not trained to give injections but I'm willing to learn. My dog used to take seizure medicine daily.
“Tina did a wonderful job with our dogs, one of which can sometimes be challenging! Her communication was excellent, and she came over before our trip for a get-to-know-you visit with us which was very helpful. Highly recommend!”
“If you’re looking for a compassionate, reliable and professional dog sitter, look no further! Yvette is unlike no other! She truly loves animals and left us a daily report card and spent time playing and caring for our Koda who was at ease with her and was excited to see her! As if we couldn’t be more pleased, she left a goodie bag for our dog too!”
“Capri was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond caring for our cat Lucy while we were on vacation. She gave detailed daily updates with pictures and was always available if I had any questions or concerns while we we away. Thank you again Capri!”
“Awesome!! We went out of town and knew that our critters would be okay with Breann. Great details during check in to let us know how they were doing and Breann was so awesome to take care of them on late notice. Highly recommend and will rebook!”
“I loved how CJ gravitated toward Jennifer with complete trust from the first meet. Jennifer was on time, administered oral medicine as instructed, and showered us with the best dog photos we could have never captured. What a wonderful DogSitter 🩵🐶”

Caitlin D.
“Caitlin is one of the most caring, responsible, and trustworthy people I know — especially when it comes to animals. She has a natural way of connecting with dogs of all sizes and personalities, making them feel comfortable and loved right away. I’ve seen how attentive she is to their needs, whether it’s making sure they get plenty of exercise, sticking to a routine, or giving extra snuggles. She’s reliable, communicative, and treats every dog like they’re her own. I would trust Caitlin 100% with my pets and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a walker who truly goes above and beyond.”
Jocelyn C.
“If you’re considering choosing Jocelyn to care for your pet, there’s no need to look for anyone else. Jocelyn is beyond kind, gentle, fun, and she’s excellent with animals. As much as I’d love to bore you with a huge list of characteristics that describe Jocelyn, I’ll spare that and just tell you she would go above and beyond to make sure your pet(s) are happy, fed, and whatever else is needed will be done to excellence. Trusting Jocelyn with your pet(s) will be one of if not the best decision you could make!”

Whether it's a high-energy pup that needs a long walk or a shy dog that needs a gentle hand, Ash always knows just what to do. She's reliable, patient, and truly loves what she does. My dog always comes home happy and well-cared for after spending time with her. I couldn't ask for a better sitter or walker—Ash is a real gem on Rover!”
