“Tia was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend. My anxious pup absolutely adored her and got the most amazing attention and care. Tia’s updates were thorough and it is evident that not only my pup loves her but Tia loves what she does. Thank you!”

“Jenna did a wonderful job! She came to our home 3 times and played with our very active two year old pup. She arrived on time and spent at least 30 minutes with him. We are very satisfied with her care.”

“I have a job that is on-call, so I find myself asking for a pet sitter somewhat last minute sometimes. Emily is great for those calls and also for when I know a need a sitter in advance! Emily clearly has a passion for dogs; my dog loves her! She goes the extra mile to make sure she knows exactly what my dog needs and wants and to make sure my dog is a happy and healthy pooch when I can't be home! Thanks, Emily! I will be a repeat customer.”

About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and had one of my own growing up. I’m experienced with walks, playtime, bathing, and general care, and I love spending time getting to know each dog’s unique personality. While i’ve worked most with smaller dogs, I’m comfortable and open to caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I bring a gentle, caring approach to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Currently I am working part time, my schedule varies but usually I am working 2nd shift in the beginning of the week and working 1st shift during the weekends. I am more than happy to discuss dates and times and work around my typical schedule to meet your needs of pet care to the best of my abilities! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and boundaries so they always feel secure in my care. Whether i’m in your home or out on a walk, I make sure your pet is safe, supervised, and happy at all times. I treat every home with respect and care, keeping things clean, tidy, and just the way you left them. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are loved and cared for like family.

“Kaeli was absolutely amazing! Our puppy took a while to warm up to a new face but Kaeli was very patient with Yuki. Thank you so much!”

“She took really good care of my adult cat and 7 month old kitten. Both cats were properly feed and comfortable. She was flexible to last minute scheduling and arrangement modifications. I would definitely book with her again!”

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!

“Ashley did an excellent job watching my dog. She sent me pictures and updates just so I would know he was being taken care of. She even had frozen carrot treats for him. I definitely recommend her and will use her servives again.”

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 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!

About: Animals are so unique. The way they play, eat and sleep, every animals deserves special, intentional care. I love being around animals of all kinds and want to make sure people feel at ease when they’re family need to leave their pets at home. My schedule is relatively consistent. I have availability all day on Fridays Saturdays and Sundays and my week nights are open for pet care as well. In a clients home, I am respectful of their home and their animals. I follow directions and will do what is necessary to keep everyone safe and comfortable.

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: I have worked with pups and kittys since I was little, I have done puppy training all the way to taking care of senior pets. I have had much practice over the years with all of my own furry family members and now to having a few solid clients I service on a regular basis before even joining Rover. So I love taking care of folks furry family members including my own Doberman and my sisters cat while she's gone away at college. However I work for the government Tuesday - Saturday 10:30 a.m.-7p.m. so I can be there during the mornings and I can take care of them as soon as I get off work in the evenings for feedings, potty breaks, walks, etc. Unfortunately, I more than likely will not be able to do midday potty breaks so if you're someone who works from home and let's them out frequently it probably will not work out. But if they're used to being in during the day already from work schedules then it should be a perfect fit! I take care of my Doberman pup through trainings with positive reinforcement via toys and treats. I feed him every morning and evening, taking him on walks out in the woods and letting him run wild in our big back yard.

“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.”

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.

“Once again Erica provided exceptional care for our two dogs. Very dependable! Very comforting to know our dogs are being well cared for when we are away from home.”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 9. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their pets while they were out of town. I have experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities of dogs from gentle greyhounds to energetic border collies! I also have experience petsitting multiple dogs and cats at once. I am a teacher on summer break so I have lots of time and attention to devote to your animals! I am available at any time of the day. I have a fenced in backyard and currently no animals in my house. I live walking distance from a lot of great dog walking spots! I am also available to care for pets in their own home.

“Great sitter! She was very attentive and caring to my gang.”
