“I have booked with Madeline many times now for her drop in visits and I am always so thankful to have a reliable and kind person that I can trust caring for my fur baby! I highly recommend her services!!”



“Jamie is great! Whenever I have to leave my fur baby, knowing she is caring for him puts my mind at ease. She is a responsible and loving sitter and her daily updates are so considerant when I'm missing my cat Casanova.”


“Jacqueline & Uriel were a 10 out of 10 service and will always use them moving forward. They provide detail updates, photos and videos. Everything was done to the perfect detail. Made traveling very stress free! Great service!!!”


“Abi is a life saver. I had a previous sitter for Mellie that wasn’t up to par. So I had to scramble to find someone to let my puppy out and play with her. Abi did just that! I do have cameras and she was fine with that. So I was able to watch all the playing and running around. And then afterwards Mellie slept soundly in her cage. She took care of her like Mellie was her own puppy. And I was super impressed with the attention to details that I had said and that she followed. Definitely will rebook her in the future.”


About: I'm a dog lover dedicated to providing top-notch care and fun-filled adventures for furry friends. I'm experienced with all kinds of dogs and cats. I am ready to feed them and give them lots of love and care. I've been working at a dog daycare, so I have hands-on experience caring for pups in a group setting, as well as one on one. I'm excited to meet new furry friends. I'm available every morning and evening for walks and visits. I'm available all day on weekends. I would love to hang out with furry friends. I keep everything clean. I always replace water bowls with fresh water and feed any pets. I love to take dogs on walks or cuddle and play with them. I treat all pets as my own.

About: Growing up we always had dogs. When I got older I've owned dogs, cats, and fish. I've fostered dogs and cats for about 12 years until I become a foster failure to my Maryanne. She is a hound mix. In my fostering I have taken care of puppies, senior dogs and dogs with special needs. I will work with your dog and use the commands/ techniques that you use to instill consistency. I currently have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I have a dog as well so I would be in and out during the day. So I can take care of my Maryanne. I am able to stay at your house from evening to morning to care for your babies. I will treat your home and four legged members of your family with respect! Shower then with lots of play and cuddles. Also plenty of walks!

About: I’ve always been an animal girl of all kinds, but dogs and cats are my LIFE!!! I have a dog and cat myself. I have SO much love to give, and i’m SO excited to meet and get to know more fur babies. I have a lot of experience and am very responsible. I have worked with animals of all sizes and different temperaments and no animal is off limits! I’m ready to give all my care and cuddles to your animal of all shapes, sizes and ages like they are my own :) I put my all into pet sitting, meeting new owners and animals fills my heart. I am loyal to my clients and pets, a lot of people i’ve worked with through Rover I still consistently watch for years! I’ve worked with animals in multiple different ways. But currently I am a dog groomer looking to give my care on the side! I wont be around all hours of the day for your pet because I do work during the day so your dog will have to be comfortable being alone for however long my shift that day is, but as soon as my shift is over I will return to your pet asap with all my love to give !! With enough time in advance, i’m hoping to find the time to care for your animal and help as much as I can! I am comfortable with pretty much anything as long as there is open communication and understanding! My #1 priority is your pets safety and happiness! I am comfortable with staying overnight, stopping in for visits, anything you need i’m sure we can make it happen with communicating each other’s boundaries and ideas!

About: Available for daytime and overnight care, as well as dog walking or visits when you're away. Cat care included for home visits. I'm a fur-mom of 2 very friendly, socialized Siberian Huskies. I grew up with dogs, and have experience with small & large breed dogs. I'm very compassionate with animals and their needs, plus love petting and cuddling. Knowing your fur-baby will miss you, my goal is to give them a caring and safe environment where they can play and socialize until your return. My older children love animals as well, and help me with my two, they will help me play and ensure your fur-baby feels at home. What's most important to me: a) dogs are treated as PART of the family b) they have caregivers who understand and meet their needs (socializing, getting a break from other dogs, exercise, etc) I would like to understand any needs or requests for your pup to ensure he/she is as comfortable as possible, especially if your pup has a little bit of separation anxiety. I cater to those pups, and we are HUGE Cesar Milan fans! So being sensitive to these pups is very important. My home has a large secured fenced in yard for pups to run free in, along with a great neighborhood for walks. I live minutes away from Switzer Woods dog park in West Dundee, which we are frequents at. I have an SUV to transport pups if you'd like to add a trip to the dog park to your stay. In addition to the secure large back yard, I have 2 tie ups in our front yard my two love sitting and enjoying the weather and watch everyone walk by :) (chain link and extremely secure) Since the backyard is privacy fence they enjoy seeing everyone and a chance of scenery. The interior of my home is dog-friendly as well. Any areas in my home off limits to dogs will have doors closed or gates to block. I do have a cat, so for example dogs in my home are not allowed upstairs (the cat's safe zone) so that has a gate so no dogs on stairs. Laundry room, office where electric cords, basement doors will be shut. Also I like dogs to be in sight while in the home, so any areas I can't see them I tend to shut doors. L Open floor plan, so every other room (about 4 rooms of space) is fair game! Free to roam, play, and on nice days go in and out to the back yard as they please. My dogs don't go on all furniture, but they do have their own ottoman and furniture that is all theirs :) I have dog beds around the main level for their sleeping pleasures. Your pup will be part of the family while in our care. Looking forward to building a friendship with your pup, so they come back to play with us again!

About: I’ve always grown up with dogs, cats, a bunny, and guinea pigs—animals have always been family to me. I truly love and care for them. As an incoming freshman, I balance academics with pet care, offering weekend, early morning, and afternoon availability to give your pets loving, and consistent attention. I provide reliable, safe care for pets in my home and clients’ homes, ensuring their needs are met with attention and responsibility at all times!

“Arly did a fantastic job. She was always prompt, communication was great and most importantly she took great care of our dog. We will definitely book her again in the future!”


About: I believe in creating a biodynamic relationship between the energy of a person and animal and that the effects are beneficial to both parties! Animals can sense energy, and maintaining a calm clear head when dealing with pets is essential. I have dog and house sat large dog breeds for a few years and am interested in sharing my knowledge and affection for animals with wider range. I currently work part time at a vegetable farm on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I have an aspiring massage therapy business and am in the process of building up clientele. These appointments are scattered throughout the week and weekends. I have a lot of time during the week for walks and check ins, as well as overnight stays on weekdays/weekends through the morning. When I have dog sit, it was at the owners home. Care included pet enrichment, physical activity, feeding care, and bathroom care. I took care of the house cleaning and upkeep as well as stayed in the residence as much as possible to give the owners peace of mind.

“We couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional care our cat received from Mary! From the moment we met her, we felt confident leaving our beloved pet in such capable and loving hands. Mary went above and beyond to ensure our cat felt comfortable and happy while we were away. She did his litter every day and also took care of our Birds and Fish, put out the garbage bins on weekly garbage days and watered our flowering plants. Daily updates, including adorable photos and detailed messages, reassured us that our furry friend was in great spirits. The attention to detail and genuine affection shown was truly heartwarming. Our cat, who can be quite shy, quickly warmed up to Mary and seemed genuinely content. One of the birds, which was sick for some time, passed away while we were gone and Mary laid him to rest under the blueberry shrub and shared the pictures. Thank you, Mary, for your outstanding service, for treating our cat like your own and looking after our other pets. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and dedicated cat sitter. We will definitely be booking again in the future!”


About: I worked professionally for a pet daycare and boarding facility for over a year. I have also pet sat for my neighbors for the last three years. At the pet boarding facility I worked on a daily basis with 20 plus dogs at a given time. I have worked with and love dogs of any breed, size, and age. I love all animals and love working with them. I am currently available almost every day from now until mid August and don’t have any other job at the moment so I can spend all of my free time with your pets. I can work whatever hours are needed for the job. I always start off by getting the pet used to me and my smell. Because it is not my home it is theirs I like to respect boundaries of both the owners and the animals. Depending on the job I will go over the schedule with the owner before they leave and make sure I have everything I need and ask any questions at this time then I will follow the instructions give per the job. In the process I will always try and make friends with the animals and give them as much love and attention as I can.

About: I have always had pets for as long as I can remember. I have raised puppies & kittens, fostered and loved on seniors of all kinds. Some pets include dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, guinee pigs, turtles, snakes and geckos. I teach full time from 7:30am to 3:00pm I am available to love on your four (mostly) legged babies in the afternoons, evenings, my days off, holidays and weekends. If there was a need to care for pets in my home I would have a separate space for your fur babies to rest comfortably.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was a kid! I was always helping my family feed and walk out family dogs. I also just loved dogs so much that I would help take care of family friends dogs when they would go on vacation. Going into adulthood I knew I wanted to work with animals so that's what I'm trying to do. I just want to care of all the fur babies and have their owner know that even though they are going on vacation they know that their animal will still get the care and love they deserve while they are gone! Also if your dog needs any medication I am comfortable doing that for you! I do have a part time job but I want to fill my other time taking care of your animals! I will always make time to check on your fur babies! As of right now my services will be in home care, I will go to your house and either walk your dog, check up on them, make sure they have food and water and even play with them if you want! I will obviously be very respectful of your home, I will only go into the areas you will want me to go in and make sure I leave everything how you left it!

About: I am 50 and have had both dogs and cats. I love animals and know I will treat your pets with love! Pets are Family! I work 10-6 Tues-Friday and Every other Monday. Weekends free in the mornings on Saturday,Sunday and Evenings Thursdays, Friday,and Sunday. Other times may work if needed My cat is my life, my dog had passed 😩 Gracey is 11 yrs old and everyone laughs at my 1000 photos I take of her! She sleeps with me and cuddles with me. She runs to greet me when I get home ❤️ I am a very caring person and you can definitely trust that I will take good care of your pet/pets 😊

“I was nervous using Rover again and Zyanya put all our worries aside. She sent us multiple updates a day with adorable pictures of our cats, turning them into models! Our cats tend to be shy with new people, and we could not believe how active they were with her. She house sat for us too, and left the house so clean, you never would have guessed she had been there.”

Jordan M.
“When Jordan first entered my house she was immediately loved by all. However the one that loved her the most was my 13 year old dog Margo. Margo was instantly attached to Jordan and would not leave her side. Jordan gave me, my family, and, margo the most attention, love, and effort.

Melissa P.
“Melissa has owned pets her entire life- she tells me stories of rescuing stray cats as a young child and finding them good homes. I bring this up because she continued this into her adult life and has owned, personally, a vast majority of pets including a lot of cats and dogs. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about training and general care taking of an animal. Apart from having plenty of space in her heart to love any dog or cat, she always helps friends and family with their pets as well when they need dog sitting or help in any way. She’s incredibly reliable and professional, and fully understands what it means to take on the responsibility of taking care of another persons pets.”


Brooklyn B.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Brooklyn as a responsible, experienced, and deeply caring pet caregiver. With over five years of hands-on experience working with a wide range of animals, she brings both professionalism and genuine compassion to every pet she cares for. In addition to her work with clients, Brooklyn has years of personal experience raising and caring for her own pets, which gives her an intuitive understanding of their needs and personalities. She is dependable, attentive, and truly treats every animal as if they were her own. Anyone would be lucky to have Brooklyn looking after their beloved pets!”
