About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and other small animals since I was 18. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets and I can watch animals at my house or stop in to yours to take care of your beloved pets! I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, ferrets, rats, mice, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, hedgehogs, lizards, and fish! I work as a nurse but still have plenty of time to take care of your beloved pets whether in my home or yours and will give them plenty of attention! I would be able to let out quick in the morning but no walks and can let out in the evening and do a walk. I have a large fenced in back yard for your dog to run and play in. I have two dogs both of whom are laid back and gets along with other dogs. I have the space to be able to set up a crate if needed to crate your dog while I’m away. I am able to let your dogs out in the morning and evening and spend time with them each time as well as feed them. I can watch your small animals at my house since I have a room designated for small animals since I own two ferrets! I have 3 sweet kitties who get along great with dogs and other cats!

“KaDee walked and took care of our fur baby for three days. She was amazing, loved the pics and messages on how he was doing. Will definetly recommend her to others and request her again!!!”
About: We were never able to have pets growing up, but I have been watching my neighbors dogs since I was a little kid. And since it's not the right time in our life to have our own dog, this is a perfect way to get that fix! I'm a firefighter, so I work every 3rd day. So my schedule is an oddball. If you also have an odd schedule, it might work out perfectly! For my job, I'm always going into people's homes and they trust me when they are in need. I will take that same level of trust to this job for your pets!

About: Hi! I’m Ana! I’ve been working as a vet assistant for about 4 years now. I have a chocolate lab named Helios that has a true zest for life, and an onery white cat named Gwen. With that being said, I have experience with a wide range of pets. I love animals so much I have been a vegetarian since I was 8! I have a soft spot for senior pets and am experienced in administering medications. I really look forward to taking care of your kiddos! I work until 5:30 on Tuesday-Friday, on those days I have an hour break so I am available for potty breaks and short walks at that time, and from 7-9pm after work. From Saturday-Monday I am available for overnights, walks, and potty breaks. I will treat your home and pets like my very own. At this time, I do not offer in-home sitting from my own home.
About: Hi!! I’m a total dog lover with lots of hands-on experience. I’ve raised my boxer since he was a tiny puppy — he’s now 5 and still a total spitball of energy — so I’m very used to high-energy pups! I also have a boxer/Boston mix that we adopted who’s much more chill and the sweetest cuddle bug ever, so I’m great with both playful and laid-back personalities. I currently work part-time but have pretty flexible availability. Even though I’ve moved out and sadly don’t have dogs in my apartment right now, I spend my free time going to the shelter to take dogs out for walks, pup cups, or just bring them back to my place for some extra love and cuddles. I truly love all animals, and I promise I’ll treat your dog like one of my own 🤍 i currently work a couple jobs but mostly am off around 2ish if i can establish regulars i’d be very interested into working more time into my schedule for them. but i myself always take care of my own dogs most days while my parents are at work I care for pets like they’re my own and always adjust depending on the service and the dog’s personality. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your routine — feeding schedules, potty breaks, walk times, medications (if needed), and any house rules you have. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and playtime, especially if they’re high energy like my boxer. For more laid-back pups, I’m just as happy to give them calm companionship and lots of cuddles. If I’m caring for a pet in my home, I keep the space clean, safe, and comfortable, provide consistent potty breaks and walks, and make sure they feel secure and loved. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know your fur baby is happy and in good hands.
About: I grew up caring for my own pets and watching others, so pet care has always been part of my life. I’ve cared for both playful puppies and elderly dogs, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to adjust care to each dog’s needs. I treat every pet like my own and focus on comfort, safety, and trust. I work part-time as a barista and am a full-time student, but I intentionally build pet care into my routine. I’m available between classes and before or after work to care for your pets, and I can provide reliable care any day of the week. I respect your home and your pet’s routine as if they were my own. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walking, medications, and house rules. I make sure pets are always secure, doors and gates are checked, and their environment stays clean and calm. I prioritize safety, consistency, and communication so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for in your home.
About: I’ve been around animals since a very younger age because of having my dad as a veterinary my whole life. I have also worked as a veterinary assistant for about 2 years before I decided to go towards human medicine and got my nursing license in 2024. I am great with animals and know a lot about handling and care because of my training as a VA! Would love to meet your pets. :) I work as a nurse in long care with a very flexible schedule to be available to care for pets. Love to take them out for walks and such, I will be with them 24/7! I live alone in an apartment with three of my own kitties. They have a strict three time a day eating schedule due to my torbie being a little fat from her being too cute and getting too many treats 😂
About: I grew up around tons of dogs. I love all types of dogs. I love to treat and snug dogs. I love taking dogs on walks and making them feel loved and happy. It is really important to me that dogs feel comfortable around me so we can enjoy our time together. I cater to all needs and do whatever dogs tell me. Dogs know that is their world and we are leaving in it. I am high energy and loving. I would be great to have as a dog sitter because I love going out and exploring. I can be your dog's new best friend. I will always send you pictures of your dog through out the know so you can stay updated on them!
About: I've been taking care of various kinds of dogs since I was seven years old. In the past two years, have been raising my own hound-mix puppy who I adopted at 8 weeks old. She is now almost 1 year-old. I have experience in feeding, potty training, playing, training, walking, and overall pet care for dogs of any age. I currently have extra time to play to dedicate to playing with your pups! I have availability for Home Visit and Walks weekdays with open availability. Depending on age of your pup, I can easily create a puppy and keep up with supervised visits in your home to ensure they do not get up to any trouble. I can feed, bathe, play, and take your pups on walks! I can give all the pets and cuddles needed as well.
About: i have taken care of several breeds of dogs from the bichon’s to mastiffs! I have a beagle/shar pei mix who is 12 years old and a pit bull who is 2. We have 4 cats and I am an animal lover through and through! i am a stay at home mom of 2 and so my availability is open typically very flexible!. Up until now I have done this strictly in after work/school hours, but now have much more availability and hope to be able to branch out to more families! I will always respect the home of my client and their animals. We will go over any wants and needs and you don’t have to worry about anything else while you are gone! I am a Rover user myself and understand how important it is to feel stress free and in good hands when you are gone.
About: I use to work with kids so nothing suprises me and I'm very good under pressure. I always find another way. I love all animals I'll even watch your other pets. I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, birds, and etc just ask. I'm always willing to learn. I will also work with dogs of all kinds even special needs of any kind or just special stuff needed to be done with them. A month and a half after getting my puppy she jumped out of my sister arms so I had a energized mini aussie on my hands that had to wear a splint for her broken leg. I'm ready for any challenge I work 38/40 hour weeks so I would pet sit before my shifts; after my shifts. If in Pontiac I would also do it during my hour lunch if needed It’s been years since I was an “official” pet sitter but really whatever the animal needs I am willing to do. Every animal needs slightly different care
About: I started pet sitting when I worked at my first vet clinic. And, because I love animals so much, I have never stopped. I grew up with dogs, cats, ducks and every pet in between! Currently, I have 2 dogs, a Jack-Russell mix named Jake and a Beagle mix named Macy. They are extremely pet/people friendly and they love new company! Also, I worked as a veterinary assistant for a a few years, so I am very comfortable with administering medications and taking care of your pets special needs. I will provide whatever accommodations that are needed and I will make sure that your pets feel safe and comfortable. Most of all, I will always keep an open line of communication with you. I know how it feels being away form your pet and I know the importance of regular updates and pics. I look forward to hearing from you and I can’t wait to met your pets! :) 🏡 House Sitting + Boarding 🏡 (Overnight) Evening - Morning; I do offer some flexibility, however there could be an additional fee if check in/out times are drastically different from what I have set. I currently work from home full time. This means I can fully dedicate all of my time to your fur babies and their individual needs. I will care for your pet/pets the same way every single time. And, I will always treat your pet/pets as is if he or she were my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bloomington Heights
Showed up timely, did everything I requested without reminders or assistance. Took several photos and updated us. Did an excellent job adjusting the schedule and watching out for our dog in the extreme heat. Definitely will use Emerson’s services again. Highly recommend.
Amanda is kind, thoughtful, and an absolute lifesaver! Despite it being about twelve million degrees outside, she helped us out SO MUCH by taking our girl out for long walks during a busy work week. Our pup Lettie adores Amanda who is a definite dog-lover; she was playful and caring with Lettie who adored Amanda the second they met. I can’t recommend Amanda enough!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Bloomington Heights. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
