About: With over 20 years of dedicated pet care experience, I provide compassionate and reliable services tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, administering medication, or offering overnight stays, I ensure your fur love bugs receive the utmost care and attention. My commitment to building trusting relationships with both pets and their owners has been the cornerstone of my long-standing career in pet sitting. As a dedicated pet sitter, I structure my daily and weekly schedule to ensure I am highly available and responsive to the needs of both pets and their owners. Caring for pets in their owners’ homes requires a combination of attentiveness, respect, and adherence to established routines to ensure the well-being of the animals and the security of the home.
About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience in pet care, I understand that every pet has their own unique needs. I pride myself on having a strong sense of animal behavior and adjusting care accordingly to each individual pet’s temperament. I have a great deal of experience with senior pets and/or pets with a strict medication regimen. I understand that these animals often need additional patience and compassion and I am always striving to reliably provide such care. This includes administering edible, topical, and injectable medications. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes as well as cats and small animals (birds, fish, reptiles, etc) so you can rest assured that your beloved critters are in good hands! I do my best to be communicative so I am always willing to discuss any additional details or concerns with my clients. My main goal in pet care is to provide reliable and respectful service that keeps your furry friend happy and gives you peace of mind in knowing they are properly cared for while you are away. I hope that I get to meet you and your pets very soon! Pet care is currently my main focus so my weekly schedule is almost always open. I am extremely flexible with scheduling which means I will be available to do reoccurring visits or extended pet sitting if need be. I have my own transportation so I am happy to make visits that are a bit out of my area as well. I have worked in professional pet care for 7+ years which has including both daily dog walking and overnight house-sitting. Being respectful of my client’s pets and their homes is of utmost importance to me. As well as pet sitting I am more than happy to take on other house-sitting responsibilities such as watering plants and bringing in mail/packages. I always appreciate strong communication and always do my best to provide prompt updates while you are away

About: I have always been a dog lover from the first time I got my first dog when I was 6. I am great at training dogs new tricks and just enjoy having the company of a furry friend. I have been caring for my own special needs dog for the past 6 years, so I am very familiar with giving daily medication and monitoring.

I am very familiar with giving daily medications both liquid and pill forms and monitoring for seizures. I have a large metal crate and a soft crate if the dog requires it, so you would not have to bring your own.
“Keira was wonderful, Bela was very comfortable with her at the initial meeting. We were very comfortable leaving our cat in Keira’s care. Keira kept us informed on how he was doing, with pictures of each visit. I highly recommend Keira & will definitely request her to care for Bela again!”

I understand the importance of consistency for pets and always make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away.

I make sure that they are fed at the exact times needed especially if they have a certain schedule and make sure that they get their exercise daily.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Blue Island
I give Iman 5 stars times 20. This is my first time using Rover and I selected Iman for home drop in visits for the week I was on work related travel. To say I was nervous is an understatement. However, from the time I met Iman I knew she was the right choice. I perceived her to be a gentle, compassionate and honest person. This was important to me considering the temperament of my fur babies. One is a rescue due to abuse and none have ever been border and I wanted them to stay in the comfort of their own home. Yes I got that vibe from just meeting her. Very positive ora and energy. Iman exceeded my expectation. My 4 fur babies took to her right away and she cared for them as I would. You can tell this is not just work for Iman it’s what she loves. She absolutely has a love for and way with animals.t antisocial cats were even drawn to her. She made sure the house was locked and secured each time and that the alarm was set. I will definitely continue to utilize her services for my fur babies. I can’t express my gratitude enough for having such an amazing and outstanding sitter. Also, they loved her dog food. ❤️
This was my first time using Rover for my 2 dogs and Keira was Great! From my first request to the time she completed the drop in visits she was very professional. She was prompt with responding to me and extremely polite. I appreciated all the communication with updates and pictures. I will definitely ask Keira to help us again in the future.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Blue Island stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Blue Island choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Blue Island with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
