“Izzy was so wonderful with my Marley while I was away for a long weekend. Communication was fantastic and plenty of pictures were sent! I highly recommend Izzy to take care of you babies :)”


About: I started volunteering at the animal shelter when I was 10. I have 5 dogs and 8 cats that I have rescued from abusive/neglectful homes, the streets, and from the shelter. I took a vet tech class in high school and a big/small animal class. I’m very good with all kinds and types of animals. I work part time currently, 4 to 5 hours a day Monday-Thursday and I’m off Friday-Sunday. I will definitely be able to care for and engage with your pet when needed. When I go to a new house to dog sit I always lock the doors and make sure to follow all rules I have been given. I stay very aware of my surroundings and the animal.

“Olivia was great! She watched my 1.5 year old lab, Sophie, at my house overnight and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving her in Olivia’s hands. We did a meet & great beforehand so everyone felt comfortable and Olivia even brought a notebook for some notes on how to care for Sophs while I was away! I loved all the picture updates while I was gone - it was much appreciated! When I got home from my trip, it was like Sophie hadn’t missed a beat.. which just goes to show that Olivia took great care of her. Will absolutely reach out to Olivia again the next time Sophie needs a sitter. Highly recommend her to care for anyone’s pups!!”


“Tricia was wonderful!!!! She took amazing care of our 3 dogs for 5 days. They are our furry babies & after meeting her, we felt comfortable & trusted her with our dogs & our home. Tricia went above & beyond. My husband & I would highly recommend her to care for your furry babies. Besides the care if our 3 dogs, she was so respectful of our home. Again, above & beyond. She was truly a person we can reply on & trust for the care of our pets.”


“Jolee did a great job watching our two large dogs while we were gone. Our lab can be a bit slow to warm up with new people and she handled him super well and communicated with us consistently. We loved the pics she sent! Would definitely rebook :)”


“Lynn was absolutely amazing to my boy while I was away. She was very attentive to him and took pictures of him and sent to me to keep me updated. Will absolutely hire her again. 5 stars!”


“Lucy was awesome! My first time asking her to sit for my two dogs for an extended period of time. She was super responsive, sending me daily updates and pictures and she followed my dogs needs and wants exactly as I asked. She was also very respectful of my home! 10/10 would absolutely ask her to sit for my dogs again.”


“Abby was great! We've known her as a vet tech for all of our pets for a few years, so she was an easy choice when we came across her profile on Rover. She watched our dog and six cats for a weekend and they were all happy and healthy when we returned, and Abby was easy to work with during the stay.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for 10 plus years. I have lots of personal experience with animals I have had over the years. I also have family and friends who have relied on me to walk, bathe, feed and play with their pets. I am a big animal lover and enjoy spending time with my own pup. I have a German Rottweiler named Atlantis. So I also have experience with dogs over 100lbs. I'm currently in cosmetology school earning my license. I'm in school Tuesday through Friday. I have availability all day Monday, Saturday and Sundays. Tuesday through Friday I would be a available 6pm to 10pm l. I have a nice size yard for your fur baby to play in. A comfy couch for pup snuggles and love. I can crate if that is needed. I will also have a variety of pup toys for inside play, as well as some doggie treats.

About: I have been around animals my whole life, and I have done dog and cat sitting a few times over the years for neighbors or friends. I’ve had cats and dogs in my home since 2014, and I am very comfortable around both. I currently have a full time job; I work primarily in the mornings with evening shifts thrown in here and there. I don’t do much outside of that, so I am pretty available otherwise. I want to keep all pets feeling comfortable, following their routines/schedule, and keeping them company (within their boundaries). I no longer live with my cats and miss them greatly, so I will make sure they receive extra attention, pets, and playtime (within their boundaries).

About: I've worked at Tendercare Animal Hospital for 4 years as kennel lead. Taking care of the dogs and cats in boarding. Making sure they are well taken care of while you're away! I work at Tendercare Animal Hospital in Morton i have a flexible schedule and can work with you for your needs. I do work 30 hours a week but hoping to make this a job for me. I have a vehicle for transportation as well as 4 years hands on experience at work. I can give medications as well and feeding and taking out for potty.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every dog like they’re my own. I have experience caring for puppies, high-energy breeds, and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and support. Whether it’s training a new pup or giving meds to an older dog, I make sure each pet gets personalized, safe, and loving care. My home is a calm, dog-friendly space, and I’m all about keeping tails wagging and owners worry-free! Ive grown up with pets and they were a big part of my daily life. Feeding, walking, grooming, and just spending time with them were all built into my routine. It taught me responsibility from a young age, and I really enjoyed the companionship. I definitely look forward to having pets again in the future when the timing is right. "When I cared for pets at home growing up—and when helping friends or neighbors—I always made sure their basic needs were met first: feeding, fresh water, regular potty breaks, and exercise. I paid close attention to their routines and any specific instructions, especially when helping in someone else's home. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and loved, whether that’s sticking to their walk schedule, administering medication if needed, or just giving them plenty of playtime and affection. Cleanliness and communication are also big priorities for me when caring for pets in someone else's space.

About: I have animals of my own and 15 years of experience helping with other animals. I would love to take your dogs for walks or give them some play time throughout the day. I'm open to watching your animals over night too (boarding can be scary). I'm a social worker and off for summer break. I have a lot of free time throughout the day which allows me to meet your dog or cats needs! I have a big yard but we have a underground fence. I will use a leash to let the dogs out. I have a 1 month old Black Lab that is full of energy along with a 1 year old cat who is very energetic. Both animals are good with people and other pets as well. I am willing to take your dog for walk, appointments, give some attention etc.

I know your pup is your best friend and a VIP member of your family. With me they are safe, loved, and living their best life! I have my own fur baby, Luna and she is my world. It’s hard to let someone else care for her so I understand any hesitancy when finding someone new to care for your dog. I’ll treat your pup like my own. I am a dog aunt to two pugs, a Chinese crested, and a Boston terrier/pug mix. I have never met a dog I didn't love. Let me love your fur baby too because we all know they could never get too much! I have volunteered at The Humane Society of Central Illinois and with senior pet therapy through Chicago Cares. I also have my masters degree in Applied Behavior Analysis. My availability does vary day by day. I am free some mornings, some afternoons, and some evenings. I have the time to walk or care for dogs daily M-F and sometimes on weekends. I have a flexible schedule since I work for myself. I will give your dog a lot of pets and attention. I will treat your pet like my own. Your dog will be happy to have made a new friend.
