“Joey was fantastic with my dog! He made sure that she was well-fed, walked, and had plenty of fun every time he visited her. He constantly kept me up to date with report cards and pictures. I would happily ask Joey to watch my dog again the next time I am out of town!”

About: I’ve lived with pets my whole life. I have my own chihuahua mix(I’m no stranger to nervous or picky pups). She’s amazing. I rescued her when she was around 1 and she’s now about 7 years old. I also care for my fiancé’s family dog about once per week. He’s a large lab mix(a big sweetie). I’ve also pet sat(dogs and cats) several times over the years, including for two male beagles who love trying to escape. I have a pretty open schedule currently, so I am flexible with time! I have my own vehicle so I can work with your schedule. I will always follow the instructions you leave me thoroughly. Whether your pets need long walks, crate time, or some snuggles. Whatever works the best to keep them comfortable and happy.

“LOVED Ricardo & his service! Gave proper updates and pictures with my dog! Will be a using his services weekly from now on. 10/10”

About: I have been working as a Veterinary Assistant for the past two years, where I have gained hands-on experience caring for and handling animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I am comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, following detailed care instructions, administering medications, and caring for pets with special needs. My experience in veterinary medicine has taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and calm with every animal. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and will treat your pets with the same care and attention I would give my own! I am a full-time college student athlete, so pet care fits around my class and practice schedules. My schedule still gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day, and I am happy to coordinate with owners to make sure their pets receive consistent care and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With two years of experience working as a Veterinary Assistant, I am comfortable handling pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and other care, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.

“Karibian was a joy to have walk my dog Lani. She was professional, kind, knowledgeable and engaged in great conversation. Lani simple adores her. I had recently fallen and fractured my hip so I needed someone to walk my dog. She was very attentive to Lani, played with her and gave her plenty of loving. She also kept me company and was so kind in assisting me a few times, although she didn't have to. I will definitely contact Karibian again for any future pet needs. I highly recommend.”

About: In highschool I was very popular in my neighborhood from doing there dog nails, to dog sitting, over night stays, and even medications. Even back in high school I had a part time and school and still made sure the fur babies were taken care of. To this day I still dog sit for my neighbor. I also worked at a doggy daycare for about 6 months then i moved, I learned so much while I was there in that short period of time from learning to gain respect and how to control a group of 15+ dogs . And was in a animal science program in highschool with a mentorship at a clinic, then tried to go to college for my vet tech degree but too expensive(still paying that off). I also do have a very energetic German shepherd who I train every day she knows pretty much everything(sit, lay down, roll over,paw, other paw,high five, spin, heel, center, look, leave it, back up, and wait). I also dog sat for my boyfriend's coworker who had an older pointer who had a seziure not only did I comfort the dog but I called owner asap then vet, I then called off of work. Just because it's not my animal doesn't mean I will love them any less. But the take away from all that is I have a lot of experience in the animal department. I'm currently working part time and have a lot of free time on my hands and love being around animals . I only work wensday-saturday the other days I'm free. But as you can see with my profile I do have my own fur baby but my boyfriend never works nights or weekends so she won't be alone. For the pets at clients housing not only will I respond to you text asap even if I'm busy, I will also ask for guide lines and try to keep your dog on the schedule you have them on consistency is key, especially when a change like you leaving happens. I also am a big over thinker so before I let the dog out if you have a yard I will always make sure the gates are close and secure and make sure there's nothing laying out that would harm them. When I dog sit I imagine as if it's my own dog.

“Love Madeline! She is trustworthy and accountable and super kind.”

About: I've been a foster and pet sitter for mostly greyhounds for the past 20 years, and have always had dogs of my own. I've gone through obedience classes and grooming, and am pretty good with most temperaments. I am very available and flexible, since I'm retired. I can come by during the day, including weekends and holidays, whatever works for you and your pet. Please note that I accept in-home stays that are a minimum of two nights. I can come to your home and stay, or visit to let your dog out, walk, or feed. Safety is a big factor and I'll do my best!

About: I have a lifetime of experience with pet care, which began with helping my mom run her in-home dog boarding business when I was growing up. The skills and experience that I've gained in that time enable me to provide the best possible care for your pet. I live with my girlfriend who is a veterinary technician with over 15 years of experience. Ours is a loving home, with a large, securely fenced yard. Our top priority is to keep your dog safe, feeling comfortable, and relaxed, just as they would be in their own home. I offer boarding, walks, in home visits, and more. I am comfortable giving meds, preparing special diets, and caring for puppies as well as seniors. I used to train and show dogs when I was younger, and can help get your puppy off on the right foot with house training. Dog sitting is my only job, and my flexible schedule revolves around that. I can be available at any reasonable time for pick-up and drop off appointments. I'm home almost all of the time to be with the dogs, only leaving to run brief errands when necessary. All dogs are cared for in my home. I have a large, securely fenced in back yard. During the day, dogs are free to be outside to play in the backyard as much as they wish. All dogs sleep in large crates or X-pens in our comfortable dog room at night, or when we are not home. We have a young cavalier who would be happy to have new friends to play with. For safety, I separate dogs for feeding and if we're out of the house, although it's rare that no one is home. Guests need to like other dogs and people.

“Awesome! Great communication.”

Aaron S.

“Corwin was very flexible and communicative throughout the week. Our dogs really enjoyed him (as evidenced by the many excellent photos he took throughout the day)!”

Rhea S.

“Cassidy has been fantastic with my dog Zion. Quick, clear, and frequent communication and pictures. He seems to enjoy the visits and she goes above and beyond to give my needy boy all the belly scratches he desires.”

About: I had all kinds of pets while growing up and To earn extra money I often drop in at different neighbors houses to feed and play with their animals. I have experience with medium size dogs and cats as well as some farm animals. I comfortable with most breeds of dogs and enjoy spending time outside on walks around parks or neighborhoods. I am flexible with my time as I’m a student and mostly work during school breaks. The easiest way to reach me while spending time with your pet would be by texting or calling. I am more then happy to provide daily updates or photos of your pet during my time with them. Overall I want you and your pet to feel comfortable and safe putting your trust in me. Thanks for viewing my profile and I hope I'll meet you soon! I’m currently a grad student at SIU. So during school breaks I have availability. During school I can do nightly drop by visits and occasional walks. I currently own one cat. He has tons of toys and climbing spots in our home. He also goes on walks as I leash trained him when he was a kitten.

“Tiffany is great! She is very professional and just sweet as can be. Mya loved her! She taught me a few tricks for keeping Myas attention while on leash. She even left a little gift for Mya! She is the best walker on Rover I've used by far.”

Logan G.

“Julia was great with Diamond. She made my pup feel at ease during her walks. Julia communicates well and is very responsive to questions or doubts you might have. She kept me informed during every walk and sent many photos and videos. She's also flexible with her schedule, I had to move diamond's walking times about a half hour and Julia was totally fine with it. Very responsible young lady. Would definitely book with her again in the future”
