About: I’ve had pets my whole life, I currently I have two dogs, and three cats that I take care of along side my family. I grew up rescuing strays with my grandpa and finding them forever homes I currently work full time in fast food. My hours are randomized from 11am until possibly 2am. I would be able to take care of the pet before my shift would begin, as well as be granted a break to see the pet during the day/night. I treat my pets like family. I personally let my two dogs and my cat sleep with me every night. They eat breakfest, lunch, and dinner with before I get to eat.

I’d cuddle with them, play with them, feed them and give them treats, I take them on walks, I’ve taken some dogs to get groomed, I’ve even given baths before, and I’d do whatever needed to be done! I’ve stayed over night with animals before while the owners were out of town and I love being with new animals! I’ve also had to take care of some animals that needed insulin and other medications! I used to have a senior dog that I would have to help get up and carry outside when he needed to go! I love taking care of any animals and have so much fun doing it!

“A Guardian Angel in Disguise: My Extraordinary Experience with Jade, a Rover.com Pet Sitter When I booked Jade on Rover.com for a routine two-day hospital stay, I never imagined I'd be gaining a vital member of my home healthcare team! What started as a simple pet-sitting gig turned into a two-week saga of unwavering support, incredible flexibility, and heartwarming kindness running interference between pets and healthcare strangers in the house. Meet the Furry Patients Before I dive into the remarkable service provided by Jade, let me introduce you to my four-legged family members: * Addy: A protective, anxious, 67 lbs., 9-year-old deaf Sheepy with a heart of gold. * Ollie: A ditzy, 46 lbs., 2-year-old Border Collie with long hair everywhere, high excitement and love and kisses for everyone! Both of these largish dogs are on a specialized prey-model raw diet, which adds an extra layer of complexity to their care. From Pet Sitter to Healthcare Hero What was supposed to be a straightforward back surgery turned into a week-long hospital stay, followed by a challenging recovery at home. This is where Jade truly shined, transforming from a temporary caregiver into an indispensable ally in my healing journey. Above and Beyond: 24/7 Care Without hesitation, Jade stepped up to provide round-the-clock care for Addy and Ollie. But her responsibilities didn't stop at the usual walk, feed, and play routine. She became a master of adaptation, tackling tasks that were far beyond the typical pet-sitting job description: 1. Raw Diet Guru: With no prior experience, she dove headfirst into the world of raw feeding. Picture her wading through my freezer, pulling out various meats, and quickly learning the intricacies of raw diet preparation. Her willingness to learn and attention to detail ensured my pups didn't miss a beat in their nutrition. 2. Canine Exercise Expert: Despite their size and energy levels, she managed to keep both Addy and Ollie well-exercised and content. 3. Home Helper Extraordinaire: Beyond pet care, she pitched in wherever needed around the house. Her presence was like a soothing balm, reducing my stress and allowing me to focus on recovery. Ingenuity in Action Our sitter's resourcefulness was truly impressive. When faced with Addy's protective nature and hearing impairment, she developed a system of gentle approaches that soon had my cautious Sheepdog wagging her docked behind in greeting. The Impact: More Than Just Pet Care The peace of mind provided by Jade was immeasurable. Knowing that Addy and Ollie were not just cared for, but truly loved and engaged, allowed me to focus on my recovery without worry. Her presence turned what could have been a stressful and challenging time turned into a period of unexpected support and compassion and a new friend.”

About: My name is Laura. I have been a dog owner my whole life. I have been a Rover sitter on and off for about 5 years and would love to take care of your fur babies while you are out of town. I have owned several special needs animals and am good at working with animals of all temperments. I have experience dealing with dogs of all ages and sizes. I especially love caring for older dogs who may need a little extra care and attention. I have worked with large groups of dogs and am willing to take care of several at a time if you have a large pet family. I have open availability and would love to play with your dog and make sure they are well taken care of. I have a full time job with flexibility. As long as I have about a weeks notice it should not be a problem to accommodate weekday visits to pets. Weekends are no problem. I like to do an initial house visit with the owner to get an idea of what the house looks like and where the pet is comfortable. If we cannot get a face to face meeting first please message me with detailed care instructions to ensure proper care for your pet.

About: I have 5 dogs in my household that I have trained and taken care of when my family goes out of town for soccer, I am more than happy to cater to your babies as well! I am currently working part time at a trampoline park, so recently business has been slow. Many people are asking for more hours, but there is so much the business can do. I am no opening my options up to pet sitting, because I love animals and I am glad to see families that love there pets as well! I let dogs/puppies out every 2 hours. My personal dogs eat twice a day, but depending on how the clients feeding schedule I can feed as wanted. Water is always available to them. They will get play time with there potty breaks as well.

About: I have volunteered at the Animal Protective League for many summers, so I have lots of experience with cats/kittens, puppies, and dogs big and small. I have a sweet Shih Tzu-schnauzer named Lexi, and she is 12 years old. I adore working with animals, and have taken care of many furry loved ones. From friends to family, they have trusted and relied on me to take great care of their furry friends! My schedule is flexible to your pet needs. Throughout the school week I find time to spend with your furry friends and mine. On weekends I get up early and have ample amounts of time to check in, or walk your pets when needed! I have a large fenced yard, with my very friendly dog Lexi. She can roam, and use the restroom freely (since I pooper-scoop my yard daily), and she has lots of room to play. If your dog needs to be put in or taken of a crate, I can do that. My main goal is that the pets are safe, loved, and keep their tails wagging!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was young, family and friends have allowed me to take care of them. I enjoy taking them on walks, petting them and giving the attention they deserve, and taking care of them. I will treat them just as you would and offer extended stays. For stays longer than 5 days, most I have done is a month and a half as of present, you will return to a clean home 😊 I am strong and able to keep my stability while walking dogs, am able to let them out, feed them, give baths, and offer other services for the home like my interior design skills which is another side business, that can be spoken about, if interested.

About: I have experience fostering dogs with the animal shelter APL and have a small toy poodle of my own. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play. I love dogs and would love to have the opportunity to watch dogs and take care of others! I am open to watching dogs for a couple hours, a day, or even a couple of days if that is what is needed. My house has a small backyard and I am also available to do drop ins at the dogs own home. The area is very quiet and would be comfortable for another dog to be in. If I am caring for someone else's dog I plan on being home for the time I'm watching the dog so that it will be well taken care of. I’m currently only working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. I am available early mornings or early afternoons to give your animal a break during the workday! I am also available any time on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I have a toy poodle and a golden retriever. I can also do drops in to walk or play with your dog as well!

About: I have had pets all my life. I have watched pets multiple times in the past, walked dogs, and cleaned up after them. I am a college student. Hello, my name is Andrew Hendricks. I’m currently looking for animal-related work. I’m a nursing student at UIS with a flexible schedule, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets. I’m responsible, reliable, and can’t wait to give them the attention they deserve! I have a fenced in yard with two dogs, Milo and Mae. I love them dearly, and I will treat your dogs how I treat my own.

“Amanda is wonderful. The love for our pet Doris was obvious & vice versa. She's kind, gentle & left us without any worries while we were away. Amanda stayed in touch with us, which is a nice perk! She's topnotch & we'll be having her come back as often as we can. We highly recommend Amanda for any of your home/pet needs!!!”
