Maddie was just what our family needed. She is responsible and a good communicator- our two Goldens really felt relaxed around her and she gave them really good care. Maddie even got our one storm-phobic dog through two Thunderstorms and they had all their needs met. We felt completely at ease being out of town and leaving Maddie in charge.

About: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve just really cherished being around animals, even the ones who aren’t super cuddly. I have a lot of patience and respect for each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their people are away. I work full time during the week and try to stay busy on the weekend, but I will absolutely work my weekend schedule around you/your pet’s needs. I have a big fenced backyard and plenty of space inside for house-trained pets to relax, whether that’s on the couch, a comfy chair, or the floor. I share my home with one dog, a terrier mix named Minnie. She’s playful and friendly, but if your dog prefers to keep to themselves, I can easily keep them separated. Older dogs sometimes find her a bit too energetic, while younger pups usually have a great time playing with her.

We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Brian! He stayed at our home for a full week while we were away and took amazing care of our two pets — our cat, who requires daily medication, and our older French bulldog. Both animals were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved when we returned.

Justice took good care of my dog and four cats. She was very communicative and had to follow a medication regimen and somewhat complicated feeding system. I will definitely book her again when I’m next out of town!

Dana is our go to sitter for our dog Felix. He is always excited to spend time with her and her daughter. Our pup has had ongoing medical issues that has made caring for him and leaving him alone tough for us. Dana has taken care of him like her own and I feel confident about leaving him in her care. She is also so accommodating and thoughtful while we have had some tough times dealing with Felix’s health this past year. We truly appreciate all the help she has provided us.

Stephanie is simply amazing. Our pups love her and she is so easy to work with, she’s great. Once we start planning a trip one of our first moves is to make sure Stephanie can house sit and pup sit our two pooches and once we know she’s able to, our trip planning always gets so much easier. Stephanie is a really hard worker and is often busy working, but when she’s staying with our pups she ALWAYS make sure she has quality time for our doggos and when we are out of town and she’s with our pups she gives us regular updates on how they’re doing, which are always very appreciated.

We had Cheryl watch our senior dog, who had only ever been left overnight with family before, so I was definitely a bit nervous. Cheryl was absolutely wonderful and put my mind at ease right away. She took such great care of our dog and kept us consistently updated, which meant so much to us. We could not be happier with the experience and will definitely be using Cheryl again in the future. Highly recommend!

About: I had my first dog at just 6 years old and my love for animals had been growing ever since😊I currently have a dog of my own who is 5 years old! I’ve had her since she was a puppy (day she was born lol!) due to an accidental litter from my dog(who unfortunately passed away and is her mother) and my moms dog! So I am very good with puppy training as well😊I am good with administering medicine as needed for your fur baby if that is something you need! I work 3 night time 12 hour shifts Friday-Sunday so I am free during the week! I am in nursing school as well but as of now my classes are online! I can keep your fur baby company and play with them. I’m very good with animals of all kinds and making them comfortable around me! I offer companionship and treats lol! I love long walks for dogs so they will get plenty of potty breaks and lots of outside time!

About: Greetings Rover Community - Thanks for visiting my profile and trusting me with your pup. I’m Aneta, and I provide attentive, high-quality care where your dog has my full focus every time we’re together. I’m highly in tune with each dog’s needs, use positive reinforcement, and make sure they feel safe, engaged, and genuinely happy, whether they’re high-energy or low-key, young or senior, social or shy. You can expect frequent photo and video updates (the frame-worthy kind). I’ve grown up around dogs of many breeds, including Dobermans, Dachshund, and Golden Retriever, and in 2020 became a proud Australian Shepherd mom. My girl, Holly, is energetic, affectionate, and frisbee-obsessed. We spend our time learning new words, exploring nature trails, and playing at our apartment dog park. I’ve been trusted by friends and neighbors for dog care, and I’d love to meet your pup and give them an experience you can feel great about while you’re away. I have a hybrid work schedule with Monday and Friday being remote, Tuesday through Thursday in office (with some flexibility). The office is in Northfield IL - midday visits in close proximity to Northfield will be considered. You can rest assured I know how to take care of your pup’s basic needs: food, water, activity/walks, taking care of business, and lots of love. I will look to you to share with me anything else that I should be mindful of for when I’m visiting your home. I’m a reasonable person and will consider and work to accommodate every reasonable request. If I’m visiting you in your home, I kindly request a 2-hour time window for each visit, if possible.

A wonderful house and cat sitter! We were worried about our 6/7 week old kitten but Eren was able to help care for our kitten. We came back to a clean litter box and a happy cat! She even helped with her claws and was careful with her, and we are so grateful both our home and cat were safe with her. Highly recommend!

Vito was absolutely wonderful with our two Frenchies, Talula and Bruce! 🐾 He stayed in our home for 4 nights and cared for both our pups and our space with kindness and respect. He kept us updated daily with pictures and videos, and went above and beyond feeding, playing, grooming, and loving on them. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. We’re truly grateful and highly recommend Vito!
