“Jayana was amazing!! She took very good care of our boys while we were gone. Our dog Max was pretty shy, but she quickly adapted to his personality by being slow and kind to him! I recommend booking her if she is available!”
About: I do have a cat of my own and a bunny and always dog sit my family dog Capone he’s about two and an half years old! And a pitbull mix, I do have references! I can start in August mostly around 3pm until whenever! I’m very flexible with time and dog sitting or cat sitting I can do Mondays-Fridays! I always take care of my cat and bunny in the mornings and always give them my time attention after work and make sure they have fresh water and entertainment and treats!
About: I have always loved dogs and always wanted one. So since I can’t have one I would love to take care of yours! I have taken care of many dogs of the years. I have watched dogs through house sitting. The longest I watched someone’s dogs was a month. I’m very comfortable around dogs and love them very much. They would get all the love from me! I am a teacher so I’m on summer break. I have all the time in the world! I would love to include walking dogs in my summer routine. I always clean up after myself and your dog. I make sure your and your dogs needs are always met. I don’t have space for a dog at my own house though.
About: I love meeting an animal where they're at. Whether they're full of energy and just want to play or shy and anxious or anywhere in between. I enjoy leaning into their unique personality and helping them feel as at ease as I can! Growing up my household had pets of all kinds from dogs and cats to skinks, guinea pigs, rabbits, a tortoise, insects, and more. As a result of this, I have a variety of experience with many kinds of animals and don't get thrown easily if a pet needs special care or attention. I know everyone probably says this but I love animals- a cat making biscuits on me- a dog getting so hyped to go on a walk- even watching a lizard sunbathe brings me joy. I currently work a part time job at a hardware store and will be a full time student this school year. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I am able to reduce my hours at my part time job if I need to. In a client's home, I can tend to all of their pet's needs. Whether that be walking, feeding, playing, or just being there for them so they don't feel separation anxiety.
About: While I have the most experience taking care of cats, I do have experience with dogs, bearded dragons, and fish as well! I am also always open to learning about new animals and their care routines. I am consistent, detail oriented and passionate about caring for critters and that will always be the same no matter the animal! I am currently employed 7-3:30 5 days per week. I am able to attend to pets before and after work every day as well as on my days off. If something does not quite fit with my schedule I do have a partner who is a little more flexible and may be able to fill in. I live in a spacious townhouse, so if your pet is joining our crew we can provide them with their own space or allow them to roam with the others! If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat it as if its my own. I am a very cleanly person and I am detail oriented so I will attend to your surroundings as well as your pet!
About: I have extensive experience caring for animals of all kinds—from dogs and cats to hamsters and fish. Since childhood, I’ve fed, walked, and ensured comfort for my pets, and even looked after stray animals. Your pet will be in safe, caring hands! I work online, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet—whether it’s for walks, feeding, playtime, or simply giving them attention. I believe it’s the perfect setup to balance my work with caring for a pet, ensuring they get the best care possible! I’m passionate about caring for pets—whether it’s dog walking, training, or playtime—all in the comfort of your own home. My main focus is on dog walking, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need
“This was our second time having Zhalih and I couldn't be happier. She is absolutely amazing with my cat, Frazier. It's clear that she genuinely loves animals, she goes above and beyond to make sure he's not just cared for but entertained and happy. She even took care of his wrestling match with his litter! It's little things like this that show us just how wonderful people can be. My husband and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter, especially one that truly cares. She is the best!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 12. My friends and family have counted on me to walk, feed, water and love on their animals I am home all day Monday-Thursday unless something comes up. I don’t usually have a set schedule throughout the day. It’s just whatever I decide to do I don’t have a house to care for pets at. At my clients house I will play with the dog in the backyard. Feed and water and just make sure they are loved
“Agreed to meet Gabby on short notice and was great with her! She is a reactive dog but Alison’s calm demeanor put Gabby at ease quickly. Thanks for being willing to work with her!”
About: I am willing to stay the night if needed or just stop by to check on dogs. I will give walks or whatever else is needed as well! When I lived at home, before moving to St Charles for college, I took care of my pets every day. I would feed, walk, and love on my two dogs daily. I will treat your pet however you and the pet feel most comfortable. I am very gentle will dogs and will help the dog to feel as comfortable as possible
About: I have had cats my whole life and I currently have 4 cats. All 4 are friendly lap cats and very bonded with me. They are “my boys”. I also have experience with a full size golden doodle and dog sit her when needed. I am a foster cat mom and enjoy volunteering in this role. I have a flexible job as I work out in the community. I can make stops through out the day. I do not travel much and have most weekends free. I enjoy cuddling fur babies in the evenings. I have small dog size crate and large, tall crate with levels which is great for cats. As a foster cat mom, I have plans in place to keep any animal safe and comfortable if needed. I scoop litter boxes a few times a day and work hard to keep my kitties area clean. I have a fenced yard and a cat proof screen going to my deck.
About: I started volunteering at the animal shelter when I was 10. I have 5 dogs and 8 cats that I have rescued from abusive/neglectful homes, the streets, and from the shelter. I took a vet tech class in high school and a big/small animal class. I’m very good with all kinds and types of animals. I work part time currently, 4 to 5 hours a day Monday-Thursday and I’m off Friday-Sunday. I will definitely be able to care for and engage with your pet when needed. When I go to a new house to dog sit I always lock the doors and make sure to follow all rules I have been given. I stay very aware of my surroundings and the animal.
About: I have owned dogs my whole life. I survived a dog attack when i was younger, and I still love them with my whole heart. I work at a restaurant where my schedule is always changing, but if i can be there for your pet i will give all my love. I won’t have pets specifically in my home, but whatever your pet is the most comfortable with in your home is the best with me.
About: I have been fortunate enough to gain years of experience working with animals in both a shelter and medical setting. I am well trained in various routes of medicine administration as a result and love every dog I meet. I just want to be able to make a difference for the pets and their families within my community. I do currently work a full time schedule as a veterinary technician, and study part time, so I generally have a rather busy schedule. I am well-disciplined, however, and manage my time around all of my commitments appropriately, and your furry friends hold a high priority for me. I can prepare for overnight duties and have flexible enough time in the mornings and evenings, and could feasibly do drop-in care over the noon hour. My weekends are generally clear! I sincerely promise to be completely respectful of your living space if I am hired to provide care for your furry little loved ones, guaranteed.
“I’m so happy to have found Shannon to care for our cats. This is the first time I’ve used Rover, and I’m glad I did.

Zachary S.
“Zachary has house/dog sit for me on several occasions. We have an extremely grumpy 16 y/o yorkie and a blind Maltese and finding sitters that can navigate their...quirks...is a challenge. Our senior will willingly go to sit next to Zachary and actually LISTENS to him when it's time to go outside or have dinner, something many other sitters have not succeeded in doing. I get pup-dates on how they are behaving and I know when I get home I won't find any surprises anywhere.”
