About: Hi there! I am a UIUC Animal Science senior with a lifetime of animal experience. My background includes 3 years working professionally at a boarding kennel, active volunteering at an animal shelter, and a lifetime handling large animals, including horses. Due to this, I am fully comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I look forward to giving your pet the loving care they deserve while you are away! I am currently applying to veterinary school and home for summer, so my schedule is pretty open! I am very flexible with my hours and willing to help out in way that I can! I am very comfortable with pets of all sizes. With 3 dogs of my own, I can easily crate, walk, and care for your pet!

About: I have 15+ years animal experience from the vet office to my own personal business. I have worked with numerous trainers and animal groups to get the most experience I can. I absolutely love animals and just love being able to help people and spend my days with dogs. I have 2 boys and a little girl and they just love the animal life as well! I am living in Marengo and I am available to do dog boarding, doggie daycare, and drop in visits! Let me know what I can help you with! If you have any special requests please ask so I can meet your needs the best I can! I hope to hear from you soon! Thank you and woof woof!! 😃 😃 I am a stay at home mom to 3 kids so I am able to accommodate your pet’s needs and be home all day with them! I absolutely love taking care of animals and it just comes second nature. I will travel to your home to care for or walk your pet. I always treat all animals as I do my own! Pets are family members!

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, big and small! Currently I own two small dogs and a Golden Retriever! They are my whole world, I walk, play, train, and love them day in and day out. Dogs are my favorite animals and it would be a blessing to be able to provide, love and care for anyone’s dog! My availability ranges each day with school when it comes down to how long potty breaks would be, but besides that I would be available consistently throughout the day! I’m highly organized, caring, loving and athletic! I love the outdoors and being active so walking, running, or jogging with your dog wouldn’t be a problem! I also wouldn’t mind bringing the dog with for car rides being able to take it too different conservations and atmospheres for walks!

About: I've taken care of pets of every kind since I was ten. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I'm currently working part-time, so i'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I'm available for boarding, drop ins and dog walking whenever is needed. When caring for pets in their own homes, I stick to their established routines. I follow the owner's instructions for feeding, walking, and any other specific care needs. I also make sure to keep the home clean and tidy.

About: I would take my dog out for walks everyday since I was 13 and would make sure she was cared for, played with, and properly groomed I am currently working two jobs part-time, but I am often available to walk dogs (morning, day or afternoon) or cat-sit in my free time. In my home, we make sure our cats are fed at least twice a day and we scoop their litter everyday. When we had my senior dog, we would let her outside often to get some exercise and would bathe her at least once a month when she got dirty.

“Thank you.”

“Dorene is wonderful with Samson! He loves his walks with her. He's a big black lab who's 14 years old, and she watches him carefully to make sure she's going his pace. She's great with communication, too. I highly recommend her!”

“Jessica came to walk and feed our Schnauzer girls as promised. She sent pictures and a pee/poop report. We would definitely recommend her to care for your dogs.”

“Madison does an excellent job. Does she do dog sitting?”

About: I have had family dogs all my life. Currently I have two senior cats and two Belgian Malinois who are part of my family. We’re a very active family and enjoy being outdoors. I’m a stay at home mom which allows me to have a flexible schedule, unless I have appointments for the kiddos. I’m part time military so I won’t be available those weekends but I’ll let you know in advance 🫶 I’m a stay at home mom and a weekend warrior, iykyk. Availability is open unless I’m scheduled for drill and I’ll give an advanced notice or if I have appointments scheduled. I’ll follow your instructions to the T. My dogs have taught me a lot about dog behaviors and what to look out for. Either way I tend to avoid anything that may upset any dog. Cats are much more independent and they usually just need feeding and cleaning.

About: Hi there! I am so excited to finally be making my pet-sitting official with Rover. I am still new-ish to the area after having moved back in with my parents a little less than a year ago (originally from New Jersey, then moved to California for college and work). I have had the pleasure of taking care of my family dog (Winnie the Cavapoo) since we got her 9 years ago. Hanging out with her is one of my favorite things to do, and she truly makes each day better with every walk we go on and every cuddle we share. I've also gotten to dog-sit for some of my best friends and locals while I was in college, and it really helped me whenever I was missing my Winnie girl! My only hope is to provide you with peace of mind that your pup is in good hands with me! My schedule is pretty wide open and flexible! If there is a time/day on my schedule that looks unavailable, message me and I'll see if I can move things around to make it work (as I share a car with a family member). If you need me to come over and pet-sit at your home, I will respect all the rules you provide me with so you are comfortable with having me in your home while I watch your fur baby. Please let me know in advance to your booking if your pet is allowed on furniture, or in certain areas of your home, and what/where are absolute no-go's, so I can remember to keep them away from those areas. If you use a crate with them, please let me know how you use it with them - if they must be crated the entirety of time while indoors aside from meal and potty times, or if for certain periods of time. If you have a backyard that is fenced and secure, I am comfortable with letting them of their leash (if you permit it) so they have free reign to run around, but if it is not an enclosed space, I am not comfortable letting them off their leash, even if they are trained perfectly - just want to be safe and take all the precautions I can to make sure they are safe while with me!

About: Since a child, I have been trusted to watch, walk, and care for neighbors and friends dogs. I still care for my friends and families dogs. I grew into loving the difficult dogs, training lots of different sports and dog behavior. I love seniors/special needs who just need some TLC. Puppies are my absolute favorite. I enjoy the bond and training from the start. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom looking to start working again and thought this would be a great fit due to my passion with animals. I have a flexible schedule and am available to board most days. Dogs will be given love and attention, play, walks, really whatever they are into or owner needs. My own crew loves to swim in our pool, play frisbee or fetch the chuck-it. I have 3 custom built in crates that are massively oversized. I can keep dogs separate from my own or integrate. I absolutely love working with puppies and dogs and exposing them to new fun things!

“Jenna was prompt, and friendly. Our mini Schnauzer liked her. I would recommend Jenna and would use her walking service again”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Even though I’ve never owned one personally, I’ve always been the first to step into ‘owner mode’ whenever a puppy or dog needed love, attention, or comfort. Animals have a special place in my heart, and I genuinely enjoy giving them affection, patience, and care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away :) I’m currently working part-time and also in school, so my weekly schedule can vary. However, I’m typically available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and I often have open availability during weekdays as well. I’m flexible and can usually adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I’m gentle, patient, and very attentive to each animal’s comfort level. I make sure food, water, and potty breaks are handled safely, and I always keep doors and gates secure. I also send updates and photos during every visit so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away :))

About: As a dedicated pet parent for over 10 years, I know that your dog isn't just a pet—they’re family. My world revolves around my own dog; from planning my daily schedule to ensure she’s active and happy, to traveling the country together, she is my top priority. Now, I’d love to bring that same level of devotion to your furry friend! Whether it's ensuring they get plenty of exercise or just providing some extra love while you're away, I'll treat your pup with the same 'number one' status I give my own. I can't wait to meet your adventure buddy! Because I am currently home full-time, pet care is my primary focus throughout the day. My schedule is exceptionally flexible, allowing me to prioritize your pet's specific needs—whether that’s mid-day walks, consistent potty breaks, or providing companionship for dogs with separation anxiety. Your pet won’t be fitting into a 'gap' in my day; they will be the center of my routine. I provide personalized care by tailoring my approach to each pet’s unique life stage and energy level. When visiting a client’s home, I strictly follow their established feeding and exercise routines to minimize stress. Whether it’s providing high-energy play for a puppy or gentle companionship and medication for a senior, I adapt my care style to ensure they feel secure and loved in any setting.

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for nearly my entire life, so your furry friends will be in very experienced hands. I find genuine joy in being around animals and truly love the bond that comes with pet sitting. Since I believe staying active is essential for a happy pet, I especially enjoy taking dogs on long walks. It’s a great way for them to burn off energy and explore, providing a mutual benefit of exercise and fresh air for both myself and your pup! Lifelong Experience: Hands-on care with a variety of animals since childhood. Large Animal Familiarity: Comfortable and capable with both large and small dogs Active Care Style: Dedicated to ensuring your pet gets the movement and stimulation they need. I’m currently a full time college student and attend classes two days a week. This allows me to have an open and consistent schedule to care for the needs of clients! Growing up, I participated in dog obedience training with my county’s 4-H program. This experience allows me to promote a safe and nurturing environment while allowing the dog to have a positive experience.

About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was 17. I’ve owned 4 dogs at one point. I have raised two litters of cats. I currently have one dog and one cat! I love animals and would love to help you give love to yours! Rover is my full time job so I am available! I will give your loved ones undivided attention! I will follow directions and make sure I give them lots of love and attention. I do not work currently. I only have to be at home at 2 to pick up my daughter from school. But I have a pretty open schedule. I walk my dog three times a day to ensure there aren’t any accidents at home. I have a gate in case i have to separate pets.

About: I live in an apartment and am unable to keep a pet due to the lease conditions. This has left me with a hole in my heart for connection with pets. I would adore the opportunity to spend time with your pet and care for them. Growing up, we had a yellow Labrador Retriever named Sandy who I felt was the best dog we could possibly have asked for. I trained her, taught her tricks, and played with her almost constantly. In more recent years, I took care of Daisy who was a medium sized mixed breed with spunk. She belonged to an ex-partner and I cared for her as if she was my own. She needed lots of stimulation and outlet for energy as well; we had multiple walks a day and it was fun to see her solving playful challenges I made. I grew up around rabbits that I adored, and even dressed them up in my doll’s clothes! My sister and I later raised rabbits for several years. We brought them everywhere we could and had special harnesses and leashes to walk them around the neighborhood or pet store, etc. They also liked to run around our backyard with our dog. I am comfortable around cats, hairless or not! I allow them to approach me, rather than crowd their space. When they want to, I love cuddling with cats and feeling them purr. I have usually cared for multiple cats at once. Although I have never lived with a cat, I am confident in caring for them and interacting with them. My roommate has six ferrets and they each hold a little piece of my heart. I give them medication when she is stuck at work late, and let them out to play. They are such curious and playful little creatures! Staying late at the office? Let me stop by to feed, pet, play with, and exercise your pet. No time in the early mornings or during lunch? Let me take the time you wish you had to care for them. While my own home is not pet friendly, I am happy to visit yours. If your pet has a routine and schedule they are on, I want to keep that seamlessly running for you. If your pet is adventurous, I want to keep them engaged.
