Pet Sitting Colvin Park

“Colin was patient, understanding and kind to myself and my cats. He sent a picture and let me know how things were going. I really appreciated his help.”

“We were very happy to have Amelia check in on our two dogs while we were away for a week. We asked her to come mid-day to walk them because my son didn't get home til late. She added daily pictures and gave me updates, also answered any of my questions right away. She was always punctual and reliable. I would hire her again!”

“Ivette had great communication and went with our schedule perfectly. Ivette made me feel comfortable leaving my little guy at home and I knew he was well taken care of.”

“Jessica is great with the drop-in visit's while I was out of town! Arrived on-time and sent a card with Blizzard's picture to let me know how he was doing. Would definitely use her again!!”

Joe B.

“Becca was amazing! She agreed to three drop-in visits with less than 24 hours notice. She was on-time for every visit, followed the instructions we had left, made sure that both of our dogs were well taken care of and even spent some time with them. Everything went so well that we've asked Becca to be our regular sitter. ?”

About: I've taken care of pets since I was a teenager. Pets that belonged to my sister to pets that have belonged to my neighbors. I have experience feeding and walking dogs. I'm currently in between jobs at the moment, but that'll change in a little while. So, take advantage while you can. Of course, when I do get a job, I'll still make time to care for your pet! I'm always dependable to feed your pet on time and walk your pet for however long is needed. I also enjoy playing and interacting with your pet.

“She took great care of the cats, always informs how they are doing each visit, also informed and helped me out in a situation I would not have been able to handle without her help, thank you very much!”

About: Growing up I always had dogs in my life from ones we had to nurse ourselves bc their mom's couldn't or the ones on my great grandpa's farm that I would stay outside all day running in corn fields with or laying outside with. Dogs have always been a big part of my life and always thought of as my equal. I learned a lot about different diets for different breeds we have had and I also worked as dog bathed for a PetSmart years ago. I always had a heart for the older dogs that were having joint problems and health problems. I always created a bond with them and felt for them. I love puppies too and caring for them like a mother.

“Haley was great with all my cats for their drop in visits. She took care of their litter boxes, gave them wet food and attention. She did need a reminder on the night of the last drop in visit booked, but was responsive and apologetic for not stopping by yet that day. She immediately headed over too.”

Jessica B.

“Emily was great! Both my dog and cat took to her right away (which doesn’t always help with my cat!). She was always on time and sent many update photos after each drop in visit. Additionally, I mixed up the dates we needed her for and were already home when she came to do the final visit. She was so nice and understanding about it! Would book again.”

Savanna D.

“Stacey has been wonderful with our shy, senior dog! It’s obvious that she loves animals. Stacey’s nice (to people too! ?), reliable and communicative. I’d completely recommend her to anyone who is looking for help with their pet!!”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who has been around pets my entire life. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I've been dog sitting for ten years. During that time, I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, administering medications when needed, overnight stays, and extended care for a week or longer while families are away. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're gone. Whether your dog needs an energetic walking buddy, a dependable sitter for a quick check-in, or someone to provide attentive care during a longer vacation, you can count on me. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently enrolled in an online graduate program, so I am available at any time you will need care for your pet, any day, night, week, or weekend! Initial Consultation: Before the pet owner leaves, I arrange a meeting to get acquainted with the dog and discuss their routine, dietary needs, medical history, and any specific instructions or concerns the owner might have. Establish Routine: Dogs thrive on routine, so I maintain consistency with feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest periods to ensure they feel secure and settled. Exercise and Play: Regular exercise is vital for a dog's physical and mental well-being. I schedule daily walks, engaging games, and interactive toys to keep them active and entertained. Nutritious Meals: Following the owner's guidelines, I provide balanced and timely meals, ensuring the dog receives proper nutrition. I also monitor their water intake to keep them hydrated. Safe Environment: I dog-proof the indoor and outdoor areas to prevent accidents or injuries. Hazardous items are kept out of reach, and I supervise the dog closely, especially if they're exploring new surroundings.

“We had the pleasure of working with Erika for the first time. She arrived early, communicated well and ensured our dogs were well fed, active and comfortable. We appreciated the updates and photos. I highly recommend Erika for anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter!”

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. Through Rover, I’m able to provide dependable, loving care for pets while giving their owners confidence and peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home while maintaining the routines they’re familiar with. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing outdoors, relaxing on the couch, or simply getting plenty of attention and scratched behind the ear, I’m happy to accommodate their individual personality and needs. I take my responsibility as a pet sitter very seriously and treat every animal in my care with patience, affection, and respect. I have experience with a wide variety of animals and critters, not just dogs and cats and I believe every dog deserves the same level of care and attention, regardless of breed, or size. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know your furry family member! I make my own schedule at work, so am able to put your animal friend first and foremost! I'm here for you, rain or shine! As your sitter, I happily follow any and all instructions to the letter. Written, or verbal rules accommodated equally. I'm happy to have video chats with you when in your place of residence to ensure your animal friends you're always nearby.

About: Hello! I am looking to build a career in housesitting as well as cat and dog sitting too! Staying clean and busy fits right into my routine, so why not let me help out? No need to worry about your baby, I have plenty of experience with all types of breeds. Big or small, I am up for the challenge. I have also personally worked with senior dogs and puppies, along side kittens and older cats. Growing up I was able to educate myself in real time by learning to take care of multiple dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish, occasionally all at the same time. I am super excited to meet some furry friends! And maybe some not so furry friends too!? I currently work about 30 hours a week in fast food. Most days, I am off from anywhere between 10:30am-12pm, but there are a few days I work a little later, until 2pm. However, I am extendable, willing, and able to request off for an extended period of time, if need be. I have three fur babies of my own, two being orange and the other being grey. Sasha, Sunny and Haze have turned out to be some pretty cool roommates. Sunnt and Haze are brothers that I believe are a mix between a white, male ragdoll, and a female tabby who's coat remains unknown. We took Sasha in as a stray, making her a newer addition to our family. As much havoc as they cause, they bring so much love and life to our apartment. They are incredibly spoiled with toys such as fake mice, crinkle balls, springs, foam balls, plastic balls, foam darts, cat scratchers, stuffies filled with catnip, mesh finger traps, supervised feathers, as well as a couple battery powered toys and interactive slow feeders. Kitties eat three small portions of dry food throughout the day and are then offered wet food for supper. We don't host very often and as a result to that, I would say Sunny and Haze meet the introvert requirements upon first impression. Sasha is incredibly vocal and attentive.

About: Hi there! I am an animal lover in all sorts of ways but most importantly the pups! I have 2 years of pet experience from working at a Pet resort, where I learned so many key details about how to properly love our babies! I would love the chance to meet your fur child if you are willing :) As a bonus my dog likes play dates if you would ever be interested! As of right now my schedule is extremely open. I am always willing to move things around to make times work for you and your baby! My house at the moment has a large fenced in backyard! I also have a completely empty room in the house that can be used for anything that is needed.

“We were very happy with the job Victoria and Joe did watching Kai. We knew we were gonna need someone with experience to watch our two year-old 80 pound exuberant, Golden Retriever. When we came back, Kai was happy and well cared for. We also had a last minute change in Kai’s care routine. He needed prescription medicine to be given twice a day from the vet. They were able to take care of this no problem.”

About: It all started out with my love for animals when I was younger. I started out my career in grooming than transferred over to a veterinarian assistant and became a veterinarian technician. I have over 8+ years experience with dogs and cats in the professional setting. I also have two dogs and one cat of my own that I love dearly. I currently got laid off my day job so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out,play,walk, give treats etc. Thank you for reading my profile. I won’t be offering in my home services due to my animals. When it comes to your pets I will play, walk, feed, kennel ect. Per your instructions

About: Hey my name is Cass. My parents loved animals! When I was younger, I grew up with several pets. Dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc. you name it. I really enjoy being outside and being active. I love to walk to parks, bike, workout, and draw in my free time. I also like to explore different forest preserves in the area. I would love to play and care for your pet! If you have any questions or interests just shoot me a message, I would be more than happy to answer them. I hope to hear from you! Thank you so much and have a great day! :) I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! I don’t have a fenced in yard but I love to be outside and would keep on a leash when going out. If your dog is more energetic and needs to run around, I have no issue blowing off some energy too and going to a fenced in dog park.

About: I’ve taken care of big dogs my whole life, since I was about 5 or 6. I also have a 13 pound chihuahua and he’s a little yappy at times. I am available Fridays from 3-10, Saturdays 11am-3pm, and Sundays 11am-3pm. I charge $20 per walk. The puppy parents then can choose how long of a walk they want. I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs but for whatever reason the dogs don’t get along I will be happy to put my pets in the house.
