Dog Sitting Darien

About: I have grown up around dogs since I was born. I have always loved caring for and interacting with dogs. I do not have my own dog currently, but would love to help care for others! I am currently substitute teaching at an elementary school, so there may be weekdays I am unavailable. I am currently not working full time, so I will be available to walk your dog(s) throughout the week! I am open to walking as far as needed for your pup. I have experience safely walking more energized dogs, so your dog will be in good hands! I have also walked up to 3 dogs at a time (various sizes) if you have more than one that needs to be walked a time.

About: For the past 8 years, I’ve been helping out my family friend by watching her dog business overnight for a week or so while the family goes out of town. I watched between 3-10 dogs at once, which was a handful, but I really enjoyed doing so! I enjoy watching dogs all sizes & I love keeping them entertained by playing with them & giving them a lot of attention. I have a 4 year old Pomeranian at home who I take out for walks 4-5 times a day. He’s very active & gets along great with other dogs.. I work remotely from home & live with my mom as well who adores dogs as much as I do. Hope to hear from you soon! I currently work remotely from home so it makes it easy for me to be available at all times to satisfy any of your pets needs. I have 3 friends Pomeranians who get along with most dogs. I have experience taking care of special needs dogs as well as senior dogs.

About: I have been an avid animal lover as a child and have owned cats, bunnies and currently a 100 pound bernedoodle! I love taking care of animals and have experience administering medicine. I have previous dog walking experience aside from my own giant puppy. I currently live in Westmont IL with a lot of space and a quiet safe neighborhood for long walks. I work remote for 3 days out of the week so I am flexible with drop in visits and walks. My dog would love a playmate during the day as well, so if you need me to babysit at my place there's plenty of room. I have a friendly bernedoodle who loved to play and has moved with us 3 times to different states! He gets daily long walks, plays with us, and gets treats. We like to take him to explore different parks and trails in the area.

“No doubt about it, I’d pick Kaitlyn to catsit again in a heartbeat. I am so beyond thankful for all of Kaitlyn’s patience, kindness, warmth, and compassion. She bonded with both our cats right off the bat. Our shy male cat warmed up to her very quickly. The anxious girl kitty took a bit longer to come around, but Kaitlyn made sure to go at the pace of the kitty in question. She was able to medicate our male cat, and made sure they both felt loved and cared for while we were away for an extended period of time. She communicated as soon as anything came up, and was very flexible! It was such a relief knowing our cats were in such thoughtful & capable hands for the holidays. My girlfriend and I could not recommend her more highly! 🩵”

“Christopher did an amazing job in taking care of 3 of our pups while we were out of town. The updates during each visit made us so happy! You could tell the dogs love him, too. Very kind and caring, and I 100% recommend booking with Christopher—we sure plan to again! :)”

“Sierra took care of my 4 cats and spent some quality time with them. Very courteous and you can tell she’s a cat person. A great sitter and someone you can trust with your babies.”

About: I love dogs. A few years ago our family’s dog, Lacy passed away at 13 years old. She was a beautiful black and white English springer spaniel. She was so fun, energetic, and sweet. She’s missed everyday. We’re not ready to get another dog yet but since I love being around dogs I thought that caring for dogs would be a fun thing to do. I’ve had experience taking care of my family’s dog for 10 years. Growing up with her, I took Lacy for walks, fed, played with, and cared for her. I’ve house sat my cousins 3 dogs a couple times, whenever they go on vacation for one to two weeks at a time. I’ve also done day visits for one of their neighbors dogs whenever they go on work trips for a few days. I’m looking forward to walking and spending time with your dog(s)! I currently am in between jobs and I’m looking for part time work. I thought dog walking/sitting would be a nice temporary job since I love dogs. I would follow my clients instructions for the care of their dog and the dogs needs. This would include their nutritional needs as well as exercise and play time.

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was young, starting with my own family’s dogs and eventually helping care for pets around my neighborhood. My passion for animal care led me to earn a B.S. in Animal Science with a focus on Companion Animals from the University of Minnesota. During my time there, I held animal care positions at three different zoological institutions, including Brookfield Zoo. I’m excited for the opportunity to care for your pets and provide a safe, happy, and enriching experience, whether it’s during a walk or a home visit! I am currently working part-time so I look forward to playing with your pets! Right now I have more availability than usual and can handle several walks or check-ins during the day! I have a car and am able to drive to and from your home. I will follow all instructions when it comes to caring for your pets. You know what is best for your own furry friends. Every animal is special and some need more attentions than others. I look forward to getting to learn about your fur-baby’s quarks!

“Amanda did a great job stopping by to let our two pups out while we were out of town. We had almost no cell service where we were, but Amanda provides the peace of mind that our dogs will be well cared for while we are gone!”

“I had the pleasure of entrusting my furry companion to Erin's care, and I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! Erin's kindness and promptness impressed me from the start, making me feel at ease about leaving my pup in her capable hands. Throughout the time she spent with my dog, Erin proved to be incredibly attentive and loving. It was heartwarming to witness the genuine affection she showed towards my furry friend. She treated him as if he were her own, and I could tell my pup felt comfortable and content in her presence. Erin's dedication to ensuring my dog's well-being was evident in every interaction. She provided playtime, and made sure he had everything he needed. I felt reassured that my dog was in the best possible care. I wholeheartedly recommend Erin as a rover dog sitter to anyone seeking exceptional pet care. Her genuine love for animals and her responsible approach make her an outstanding choice. I wouldn't hesitate to trust her with my pup again in the future. Thank you, Erin, for your outstanding service and for being such a delightful presence for Bear. Your love and attention truly made a difference, and I'm grateful for the wonderful experience my pup had with you!”

“This was the first time I ever used pet sitter and this platform, so glad it worked out very well! Meredith is an amazing lady who took care of my cats for one week. We didn’t even have to meet before our vacation. She reported pictures every time she visited my house. Also, not just the cats, she was offering to check the mailbox, to water my plants etc. That was so nice of her. I appreciate everything she did and I recommend her service very high! Thank you girl for taking care of my lovely cats👋”

About: I’ve taken care of dogssince I was 10. I’ve walked and dog sat family members dogs and neighbors dogs. I also play with the dogs. I currently work full time M-F 7-3:30 and can be available around 4pm each day. I’m available anytime on the weekends to take your pup on long walks. I live in a dog friendly condo with a balcony. I can crate the dog if needed. I can also dog sit at your home if needed.

About: I have been around and taken care of animals my whole life but had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds and rabbits at times throughout my adult life. I am an empty nester that now lives in an apartment. My fiance and I also travel at times for work, so we are unable to have a dog of our own due to the travel which can be unpredictable at times. I would love to get my animal “fix” but also get some extra exercise. I am a very empathetic person and would take care of your furbaby like it was my own! I work full time from home but have some flexibility with my work, which is why mornings and late afternoons are great. I might be able to provide some care in the middle of the day but would have to be scheduled ahead of time. I do travel some for work but I know my schedule weeks ahead of time. I would not be able to care for pets in my own apartment but can come to your house to care for your pets. I have been in the medical field for over 27 years. I am extremely trustworthy and treat peoples homes, property and fur babies with the same care that I would give my own, if not more.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I was never allowed to have a dog growing up so I would help out my neighbors wherever i was living at the time when they were at work. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for a couple years and went through proper training on how to take care of and make both dogs and cats feel as comfortable as possible. I was finally able to convince my parents to let me have a dog and I have been the main caretaker of my golden doodle smudge for about three years now I have recently switched jobs so I have a lot more free time on my hands and am finally able to get started with Rover after wanting to job for years. This way I can take care of and love on all of the animals and I can take some of the responsibilities off of another animal parent because I know it can be hard sometimes. My dog gets two meals a day and a snack around lunch time. We go on a short morning walk and a longer evening walk after dinner. For overnight house sitting my goal is to make sure to follow the routines that clients already have in place for their pets as not to change their schedules. My boyfriend Cameron and I love taking care of the dogs and giving them a special staycation

“Judith is awesome! We appreciate her thoughtful handling and skilled care of our pups. Thank you!”

About: As far as I remember myself, I always had a cat in my house. From childhood I wanted to become a veterinarian and although I’ve gotten a different degree, my passion for animals never went away. I have a cat of my own, have work experience from a dog and cat daycare center, and experience from volunteering in Humane Society, so I know what kind of a care a pet deserves. Additionally, I took safety training at the pet daycare center, which thought me how to handle myself with cats and dogs in the best way. I am working part-time and have most days available for taking care of your pets! Usually I’m available every day in early mornings and after 5 pm, and any time on Fridays and weekends For boarding, I have a spacious home with a fenced backyard if you desire your cats to take a stroll and I know how to safely take you dog on a walk!

About: FIRST TIME CLIENTS*** Promo Code JORGEO48519 Hello, my name is Jay Ortiz and thank you for visiting my page! I love making every animal's day more memorable than the last. I am available in the rain, snow or shine and have 12+ years of animal care experience. Love is the key ingredient in every animals life & I make sure to treat each one as my own. Spoiling animals with a toy or treat is one of my favorite things to do. Training them for some fun family tricks is another great exercise I like to incorporate during playtime. Not every dog is the same, if your boy/girl is a calm, sweet pup that likes to just chill through the day no problem! While Zero (my dog) and I love to be active, we know how to rest as well. Not only will there be a large fenced yard to run & play in, but a public park is only a walk away, included with a scenic lake, which is great for casual strolls or healthy exercise! I have been fostering and taking care of dogs and cats since I was 16 years old. I have trained them myself with much success. I am a Marine veteran that has experience working with service dogs and know how to read body language and attend to your pet as needed. From sneaky ferrets, bubbling fish, trouble making cats, to energetic dogs, I am positive I can bring the best experience to you & your fluffy pals. After all, I think we could agree we treat them just as our actual children (haha)! I am generally pretty flexible when scheduling. Please message me for details. I look forward to building a relationship with you & your wonderful animals soon! *Special notes: ------------ - Meet & Greets are required unless specific events prevent so. This is important for me so we can get to know each other and your pet better. -Meet & Greets must be scheduled immediately when requesting a booking and take place that same week. -Booking requests must be confirmed or cancelled after each Meet and Greet. -Please note that Day Care Rates will be added for your pet’s extended stay (for boarding) or your late day arrival (for house-sitting) should the pick up or you’re arrival time go beyond 12:00pm on the last day of service. -Additional rates ($10/ hour) will apply to Doggy Day Care services when pick up time is beyond 7:00pm and before 11:30pm.

You and your family’s comfort and safety is my #1 priority as I aim to only give the highest quality of pet service. My weeks vary every month as I take care of new clients, repeat clients, Rover clients and Private clients each week. Whether you need repeat service or spontaneous visits, my goal is to be their for you and your fur babies 24/7, 365 days a year. I have a large fenced yard for any energetic pup to play in, along with a beautiful public park for your dog to explore. Not only will your pet have a vast landscape to have fun in but I also have a dog lounge equipped with a couch only used for dogs, mood lighting, treats, baskets of toys and much more! We do share the bed if your dog loves cuddles (we love them too!) and treat every fluffy client as my very own. For Away Services (such as house sitting) all the tender love and care is brought right to your door. Going for walks in your surrounding area, training, movies and fun are a must during each of my stays. After all, every cute dog deserves rest after a fun day! While pet sitting, if your pet is a high energy ball of fun I understand that that level of energy needs to be addressed with walks and play. I live right next to the park district and the neighborhood is an ideal location. I will attend to your pet strictly as required upon your instructions. Water will be accessible throughout their stay. Walk, run and play time will be conducted safely at the energy level displayed by your pet. I wouldn't want someone to make me run just because they want me to be tired later. Just like ourselves, our pets should be happy about exercising! I have multiple crates and if requested I can help potty train! My dog Zero is a rescue and he is a super sweet guy. He loves meeting new dogs and playing with the tug rope. He is a great companion on a run and can show others how to walk, run and play while following their leader. Environment: Very spacious, clean and friendly! **My girlfriend Taylor G., is also a Rover Sitter, so there may be other pets in our home while I'm watching your pet(s). If this happens, I'll absolutely notify you before our booking begins!

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog mom with hands-on experience caring for large dogs at different stages of life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I currently have two large dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable with bigger, stronger dogs and understand the importance of exercise, patience, consistency and lots of attention. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your dog with the same love, attention and responsibility I give my own, while keeping you updated so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week for dog walks and drop-in visits. I can accommodate morning, daytime and evening visits and understand how important it is for dogs to stay on their normal routine. I’m happy to work with each family to create a schedule that works best for their pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines and any special needs. I’m attentive on walks, comfortable handling large and energetic dogs, and will always treat your home with respect. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, happy and getting plenty of attention.

About: Looking for a dog walker? Or dog sitter? I’m sure you have a lot of options. I’d like to know what I can do for you to make this experience easy and enjoyable for you. I’ll ask you questions about your pets and I’ll treat them with care. I’d love to learn about them and about you so I can take care of them in the long run whenever you need me to. I’m a student at Depaul University for educational psychology, and work at an elementary school during the week. I currently am free most of the week. I love to take care of animals, so please feel free to contact me regarding any questions. When taking care of your pet I will make sure to ask questions regarding any secret hide outs your pet might like to hide in or what their favorite toy is to keep them company.
