Dog Sitting in Cortland

“I reached out to Evelyn on short notice due to an unexpected funeral and on a holiday no less. She responded very quickly, came by for a meet and greet, and took care of our girls for 2 days. She was great and our dogs were happy to be at home instead of boarding. Evelyn was great and I certainly recommend her. We will definitely use her again!”

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life. I have also grown up raising birds, cats, and rabbits. I had my first pet-sitting business when I was just 11 years old. I am a current dog and cat mom. I aspire to be a dog trainer and have my own business one day. I have successfully trained my own dog in a variety of different skills and I am eager to gain even more knowledge to work towards my career. I have 3+ years experience working in a dog daycare/boarding facility. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and all temperaments. I also have experience working with dogs with special needs. I just moved to the area and I am currently looking for a full-time position in the animal care field. In the meantime, I am looking to find work through Rover to stay caught up on finances. I do plan to continue using Rover for side-work after finding a full-time job. I also believe it could help me gain experience towards my career goals. My schedule is very open at the moment. I take my dog on walks every evening and have training sessions for an hour every day. Since I live with other people currently, I can only pet-sit in clients’ homes. I do have a very friendly 5-year old doodle who loves to play with other dogs, so I can always bring him along to keep your pet company. I follow my clients’ instructions to the tee whether regarding potty schedules, feeding schedules, bathing, walking, playing, training, etc. I can also do any additional services if need be while caring for your pet at your home.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 12. I done single visits with dogs along with multiple day long full care for out of town family's. I have two dogs of my own. I also have experience with extra large dogs and puppies. I am a full time college student with a part time job. My schedule changes often but I am always available for early morning walks and often available in the evenings as well. I am able to take dogs on long walks through neighborhoods, take dogs to dog parks, or play with them in the family’s yard. I will communicate with the family to find out where their pets do best.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, and I now have over 18 years of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and give their pets the same love and attention they would. I’m patient, responsible, and passionate about making every dog feel safe and happy. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the week. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays after 2 PM for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. Also im at full time college student I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment where animals can relax and feel safe. I follow each pet’s routine closely, provide lots of attention, and make sure they’re supervised at all times. I can also crate your dog if required.

About: I’ve been an active Rover sitter for over 2 years now and absolutely love what I do! I have a 7-year-old Goldendoodle named Penny, who I’ve helped raise and train since we brought her home in 2019. Through Rover, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs—from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups. Last spring I graduated with a degree in Elementary Education from Illinois State University, and am just finishing up my first year as a 2nd grade teacher! With my background in teaching, I bring a patient, attentive, and empathetic approach to every pet I care for. I always do my best to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. This summer I’m focusing on pet sitting and dog walking while I search for a full-time teaching position in the area for the upcoming school year. I’m staying local to the Aurora area and am available for bookings all summer! If you’re looking for a consistent and reliable sitter or walker, I’d love to be there for you and your pets. When caring for pets, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I make sure to follow any instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or just knowing where their favorite toys are. I do my best to help your pet feel calm and cared for while you’re away, and I treat your home with the same respect I would expect in return. Building trust with both pets and owners is really important to me!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I’ve got my first one when I was 5 years old. Throughout the years, I’ve gained a ton of experience taking care of all dogs. As an owner of 3 dogs (2 small. 1 large) I’ve definitely have had my fair share of doggy cuddles, play time, walks, and lots love! I’m currently working part-time, so I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule. I am a student, but because my class schedule is very spread out, I have lots of free time to take care of any furry friends! In your home, I will implement any rules you have for your dog. I will also establish to you dog that I am a trustworthy person as I will slowly introduce myself to your dog to make sure they feel safe with my presence!

About: Hello! I’ve recently decided to join Rover to help around the Chicago area. To me, animals/pets are a gift. Since I was born we always had a family dog. I had a Yorkie named Willy I got in first grade, I was very shy and he was my best friend growing up, I was never alone with him by my side. I volunteered at a couple animal shelters a few times a month when I was younger and always got recognized for how the animals would take to me. I’m a very easy going, energetic and understanding person, just being around animals brings me joy. I would love to help you keep your dog or cat active, happy and satisfied everyday :) I'm currently working part-time (3 days a week, 25 hours) so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2 pm currently. ***I started Rover in Arizona in 2019 and have been moving and figuring a lot out since then so my responses haven't been the best previously but I'm finally settled down and fully committing to this as a side job for me and promise to respond promptly :)*** I have a small fenced back yard. I live in Bucktown so I'm pretty lucky to even have that. My pup loves it back there!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life! New to rover but have done multiple overnights with dogs & love walks! I have two doggies of my own, and I babysit frequently so I am very comfortable being around different dogs. I’m currently a graduate school student! I attend classes Mondays & Wednesdays until 2pm and have online courses Thursdays 8-10am. Aside from that I babysit which is very flexible so I have lots of time to walk any pups in need :) I love going for walks and being active! I have a large golden doodle and a small shih tzu and have cared for dogs of sizes in between, so I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes!

“Tylor was an amazing cat sitter! She sent regular photo updates, and provided excellent care. Would definitely recommend her services and ask for her help again!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Beginning with my grandmas beautiful golden retriever to getting my own Beagle/Australian shepherd puppy as a kid.. When I got married my husband had a golden lab that became ours. She was the best dog I've ever known. She let our kiddos dress her up, sleep on her, and yell all the day long. Her response was just to look at them and lick them.. Later on we adopted an Australian Shepherd/lab mix that was full of energy. We now have a lab/terrier mix that we adopted 2 years ago. We go on walks, runs, and bike rides all over town with her. She is a ball of energy and keeps us moving. Our 5 kids are also animal lovers and feel the urge to pet every animal they see! If you choose to use me as your dog walker, your dog will get the best walks! I will be sure to wear them out! I am a stay at home mom with 3 kids in school and 2 at home. My afternoons are generally the best, but I will never accept a job that I can not fully commit to. No fence 1 friendly dog that wants to play with your dog Long walks or runs Snuggles, cuddles, and lots of.pets from myself and my.kiddos

“Wonderful sitter!!”
