About: I am a retired teacher who has rescued and raised both cats and dogs from 6 weeks old through their geriatric years. I am comfortable reinforcing puppy potty training and basic obedience skills while you are away. Pets with separation anxiety find me to be gentle and patient, and I am experienced in working with animals who have physical challenges. I guarantee your fur babies will be showered with love while in my care! Please note: I CANNOT accept assignments for dogs larger than 45 lbs. I have extensive availability on weekends and most holidays. My schedule during weekdays is flexible; however, I may have limited availability to check in or walk dogs during school hours if I have accepted a substitute teaching job. Safety is my number one priority! I will make sure your dog is comfortable and safe according to your instructions before finishing the assignment, and will make sure to keep you posted with photos so you will not be worried.

About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have a 7 year old German Shepherd and 4 year old black lab mix. I love all animals and spending time with them. I have experience with taking care of diabetic cats who received insulin twice a day. I work full time from home so I have flexibility throughout the day. I am about to become an empty nester now that my youngest will be heading off to college in August. I’ve found that I have a lot of free time. I am available to come to your house as often as needed to care for your fur babies. I can take your dog for walks or just snuggle with your cat, whatever is needed.

About: Hi my names Sophia! I have grown up with and taken care of animals my whole life. From fish to hamsters to cats and dogs I know and love them all!

Not only with you being gone out of the house your furry friend in a new environment could stress them out a lot more. If your pet has any disabilities, or mental struggles, please give advance notice, so I can make sure your baby is properly taken care of!

“This is our second time using Katharine and she’s just great. Our dog loves her (can be weary of new people) our cats come out to see her when she’s in our house. I feel completely safe leaving keys and the garage code with her. If you are new to Rover and need a sitter she’s amazing! Thanks again Katharine!”

About: Asst in training service dogs, have had dogs for the past 25 years. I have also had cats but do not have one currently. I watch my neighbors' animals, to include a bunny and other small animals as well. I currently work from home most days and am able to work from anywhere with my laptop if I am needed to stay at your home. This also gives me the availability to leave for breaks to take your animal out for small walks or potty breaks during the day. I have always had 3 dogs at a time, but I just lost my last fur baby in January 2026 so we just got a puppy in April as I just can’t be without a fur baby. I care for my animals as family, not pets, they sleep with me and my husband and go with us when we are able to take them.I provide more of a motherly service and will care for your fur baby as if he/she were my own. This includes playing and snuggling.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid, and I’ve also fostered dogs in the past. Family and friends have relied on me to care for all kinds of dogs, including senior dogs with medication needs and larger, high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise and playtime. I’m attentive, dependable, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently home from college, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m available throughout the week and can be flexible with different schedules and routines. I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs and make sure they get the attention, care, and playtime they need! When caring for pets in their home, I make sure to follow their normal routine and any instructions their owners provide. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m respectful of each client’s home and always make sure doors are securely closed, pets are supervised, and everything is left clean and tidy. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are in good hands.

About: Animals have always been my happy place. I have two dogs and a cat of my own, so caring for animals is part of my everyday life. I’ve also helped family and friends by letting their dogs out, taking them on walks, and caring for them while they were away, including keeping a friend’s dog in my home for a week during vacations. While I’m new to Rover, I’m dependable, patient, and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently work part-time Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Outside of those hours, I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting. I’m also available most Thursdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any routines your pet is used to. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

About: Full-time dog walker & house sitter in Joliet, IL, focused on reliable, structured care. I’m especially comfortable with high-energy dogs that need more than a quick bathroom walk, as well as senior pets who benefit from patience, consistency, and calm handling. My goal is simple: keep your pet’s routine stable and send clear updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I currently have full-time flexibility. I’m available mornings, midday, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I structure my day around your pet’s needs to ensure consistent attention and reliable service. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions carefully and maintain your pet’s normal routine for feeding, exercise, and medications. I prioritize safety, secure leashing, proper entry and exit protocols, and close supervision at all times. Your home is treated with respect, and your pet’s well-being is my first priority.

About: Hi nice to meet you all! I started doing Rover because I use to work in vet med and have missed getting to work with animals and their owners. I love working with animals and greatly enjoy the time I spend with them. I do work full time so I do Rover on my off days and before/after my full time job. I have experience caring for not only dogs and cats but small pets also(this includes parrots, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, rats, mice, gerbils). I am always available to answer questions to pet parents about how their pet is doing in my care, and willing to accommodate additional care instructions as well. While your pet is in my care you will receive a Rover card from each visit/stay with photos provided. I am trained in pet CPR and have experience with senior pets and any medication needs that your pet may have. I am also experienced with shy pets as well and will always allow your pet to take their time to get to know me and warm up to me. My number one goal is that your pet is comfortable, happy and healthy while in my care. I do require a meet and greet to ensure that your pet is comfortable with me and a good fit as well. House Sitting. I have recently reopened up house sitting services in your home. I am available each day to ensure your pets and home are taken care. walks if asked for by the owner(no additional charge for these!), play time, food and water checks and any medications administered if needed. Small Pet Care I also have experience caring for small pets and birds if you need your small furry or feathered ones looked after while you are away. I have experience with birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, rats and mice. Care for these guys will include food and water checks, attention and if needed a spot clean of their cage as well, along with any medications needed if these are required. Boarding/Day Care I have just opened up boarding and daycare(daycare only on select days when I am not working my full time job). Boarding requirements include any dog under 35lbs due to having cats that can be skittish around larger dogs. Your dog must get along with cats and small animals and be okay with being home alone for a few hours a day. Up to date on vaccines and a trial visit will be required to ensure your dog is a good fit to stay with us. Dog Training. I am currently finishing a course through Good Pup offered by Rover and am so excited to be offering training to existing and new clients once I complete my certification! I do work full time but I do have availability before and after work to care for pets and am available on my off days as well for pet care. I will always ensure to respect your home and ensure it is in the same condition as when you left your pet in my care.

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, bearded dragons, hamsters, and guinea pigs.

About: I have been taking care of the pets of friends and family for years, ranging from dog-walking to week-long pet sitting. Experience with a wide range of breeds and ages. I am a substitute teacher with a very flexible schedule, so I can take care of animals pretty much any time during days when I am not subbing. For sitting at other’s’ home, I try and keep the pet’s schedule as close to normal as possible! I prefer sitting in other’s’ homes just to keep things simple for the furry babies.

About: Anyone who knows me knows I am a huge dog lover. I was raised with a dog and went on to get a dog of my own. A sheltie. He was just 8 weeks old. I had the greatest experience training and raising him. He was my best friend and buddy. He unfortunately passed away at the age of 12. I have a high level of love and compassion for dogs as well as other animals. I am a very patient and love to go on walks, play and cuddle. I have two teenage girls who visit and are just as much a dog lover as myself. I do not work outside the home and have the time and attention to give to your best friend. I live in a quiet and dog friendly neighborhood offering comfortable accommodations. I’m happy to share anymore information you would like

About: Hi! I’m Nicole, and I work remotely as a graphic designer while pet-sitting! I’d love to hang out with your baby or take them on walks or just keep them company! The details: I’m currently open for a recurring lunch time walk/drop-in spot! I do have meetings throughout the day and work full-time, so it’s u likely I can accommodate any other weekday times. Weeknights and weekends are open though! I am open to sitting for all types of animals! I love to be outdoors, so walking and playing with your pet will be a treat for both me and them. I’m also cool with a little snuggle bug watching tv on the couch! I’ve walked and spent time with dogs of all shapes and sizes through volunteer work at a shelter in SK. You can count on me to love your pet as my own while I’m with them. I have no problem giving medication or any other special needs your dog might have. - I require meet & greets. - All pets must be up to date on vaccines. - All pets must be in generally good health. - I am not able to offer constant care during daytime hours on weekdays. (Additional costs will be applied for constant care). - Please let me know all about their personality, quirks, and habits! House Sitting notes: Every sitter uses this service a bit differently. For my services, house sitting = staying overnight in your home and caring for the pet between 5pm - 8am and 1 drop in around noon. Any additional needs require additional drop-in costs because I am not able to stay in your home the entire day (I must care for my own pet and another client daily). Don’t hesitate to ask questions if you have any! I'd love to hang out with your pet and work out a schedule! I do work full-time but have some flexibility in my hours. I currently have an opening for lunchtime walks or drop-ins, and I’m always open to doggy daycare. Weeknights and weekends are open! My home has a fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play, our house is small but we live in a quiet neighborhood with lots of good places to walk and sniff!
