About: I’ve been a pet lover since I was a little girl. I’ve grown up around so many animals including my sweet horse Ace! My favorite is how every animal has their own personality, & the way they love us unconditionally without ever saying a word. I am a full time teacher during the school year, and work part time during the summer which gives me a lot more availability to fit with your schedule! I treat every animal like family and they will be in the best hands. I love meeting new furry faces and they will receive the best care!

“I just completed my first experience with Rover.com and I was really happy with the experience! Jenna provided great care for my three cats and made it much easier to leave for a few days. The daily pictures and updates were reassuring and Jenna was quick to respond to emails or text messages.”

About: I have helped in taking care of my own pets for many years, but have been petsitting for the last 7 years and recently just started taking new clients again! I know how important it is to have quality care for your pets and not have to worry while you are gone, and I can ensure they will get quality care and all the belly rubs! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from Bernese Mountain Dogs to Chihuahuas, and also cats! I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and administering medication. I recently graduated from WIU, but with summer approaching I will have so much time to spend with your animals! I work Mon-Fri from 8am-3pm, but can spend all free time with your pets! I’m am very open with my schedule and would be able to do quick drop ins or even long stays if your family plans to go on a long vacation! The easiest way for me to care for your pets would be in your own home. If it was a long stay, I would be flexible to just do drop ins as needed or even stay overnight if that is okay with you! Otherwise if it was just quick drop ins throughout the day, I would be glad to stop by your home to help, truly whatever works best for you!

“Abby was prompt and sent pictures of my little guy during the visit. When we got home, he was very happy! I highly recommend Abby. She is great with animals and very trustworthy.”

“I have used Emily a few times and she is simply amazing! I can leave for the day and know that my big fur baby is well taken care of and makes my day away so much easier. I highly recommend her to anyone. She takes great care of my guy and sends pics on her visits. I can not thank her enough.”

“Bianca is absolutely AMAZING! Sent so many photos of our cats & they clearly really liked her! First time leaving cats for a week and was immediately comfortable knowing the love Bianca showed them. Will always be using her & thankful Rover connected us to her!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was a kid. I grew up in what my family and I would call a zoo! 3 large dogs 6+ cats. We’d take in strays get them fixed and find them homes, so the house was always loaded with furry friends. I’d help with feeding, grooming, and cleaning up pet waste. I’ve always had a love caring for animals of all kinds including hermit crabs, guinea pigs, geckos, even grooming and feeding horses at horse camp! It is a true passion of mine. Now as I’ve gotten older and childhood pets have passed, it’s just me, my mom, our Doberman Ruby and our 4 cats (all rescues) and we take Ruby on a walk 3-4 times a day together getting upwards of 15k steps and id love to do more! I am a new student at Black Hawk College in search of part time work to accommodate for my soon to be full-time school schedule upcoming in the fall. A typical day for me looks like morning coffee with my mom, walking our Doberman Ruby, going to the gym, & going for more walks lol. I am also a personal assistant caregiver for a friend of mine 6pm-8pm every other Friday & pick up evening shifts when needed. My schedule is quite flexible at the moment but may vary once securing another part-time gig and starting school I am very respectful and mindful when being in other peoples homes and tending to their animals who needs may vary. I am dedicated to your pets and ensuring a positive experience for all involved. I know I’ve mentioned how my mother and I care for our animals in our home but I do want to clarify that itll just be me when providing my services to your furbabies!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for 24 years I used to live on a farm and still to this day I watch animals any kind I love working with them and every time I see an animal on the street I always help them Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I enjoy spending time with animals. I make time each day for feeding, walking, play, and check-ins, while keeping a consistent schedule so pets feel safe and comfortable. On a weekly basis, I also handle tasks like grooming, cleaning up after pets, and giving them extra attention to make sure they’re happy and healthy.” In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and follow their normal routines. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention. In a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions to keep pets on their usual schedule. This can include feeding, walking, litter box cleaning, administering medication if needed, and giving plenty of love and companionship so pets feel secure even while their owners are away.”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring dog lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all breeds and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more laid-back and cuddly, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, giving medications if needed, and sticking to any instructions that help keep your dog happy and stress-free. I understand how important routine and attention are, and I treat every dog like they’re my own! I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is to make sure your dog gets plenty of care, exercise, affection, and companionship while you’re gone. I’d love to meet you and your dog(s)! I'm a May 2026 Augie grad who is navigating my first full time job post grad, but with a pretty flexible schedule outside of that! I am free weekends at pretty much any time and Monday thru Friday after 4pm. I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and care based on their individual needs and energy levels. For cat sitting, I understand the importance of patience and creating a calm environment so cats can feel comfortable at their own pace while maintaining a clean litter box, offering attention (if wanted), and of course food/treats and water. I always follow owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, leash handling, litter box cleaning, and any special routines or preferences. Safety is very important to me, so I’m attentive during walks, careful with doors and gates, and always mindful of pets’ behavior and surroundings. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and in good hands while they’re away.

I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable following specific routines, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m able to be flexible with scheduling. I have availability on weekdays and weekends and can accommodate drop-ins, walks, and extended stays depending on your needs. I enjoy spending quality time with pets and make sure they receive plenty of attention, play, and care. I am a teacher, so in summer months, winter and spring breaks I will have quite a bit more of availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, routines, and feeding schedules provided by pet parents. I maintain a clean, calm environment and closely supervise pets during play and outdoor time. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any signs of stress, and I always communicate updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

I live walking distance from a lot of great dog walking spots! I am also available to care for pets in their own home.

“I would just like to say that Erica did a fantastic job caring for our two dogs while we were away for a weekend trip out of town. I was very impressed at how thorough and punctual Erica was for the drop in visits that she provided. The care notes, and pictures documenting each visit were very reassuring. I feel that Erica cared for our dogs as if they were her own. I will not hesitate to contact her again whenever we need someone to care for our dogs.”

About: Going out of town? Want to leave your pet in the comfort of their home rather than boarding them somewhere that stresses them out? Want to leave them with someone who will give them tons of TLC? Then I'm your gal! I have been petsitting for over 20 years, and I've had my own business for 15 years (Happy Tails). I have a lot of energy myself, but am also content to sit around and cuddle, so any energy dog is fine with me! I've taken care of dogs with health needs, administered many medications including insulin shots, liquids and pills, and worked with deaf and blind animals. I have owned and fostered/rescued many animals and many breeds in my lifetime. Please contact me if you're interested, and feel free to check out my Facebook page for reviews (Happy Tails QC). Thank you! As this is my full-time job, I have a lot of time daily to care for your furbabies, & I'm available 365 days a year! I care for pets in the owners home. I come by three times a day for 20-30 minutes each time. I can also do walks!
