“Jen has been walking my dog twice a week since late February. Jen is dependable and treats my dog with care and compassion. Jen is also very flexible- she has jumped in for extra walks to support my changing schedule. She is quick to reply with updates. Thanks for all you do Jen!”


“Cathy started caring for our black lab, Wendy, last week. She responded so quickly to my messages and was able to do a meet and greet within days of my first message to her! Our dog loves Cathy and it’s been going really well when Cathy comes to let her out at lunchtime. I would definitely recommend Cathy to care for your pet! She has a lab of her own and a lot of experience.”

“Laura kept me updated on how the cats were - I was away for just a weekend on this occasion but I will certainly book Laura and Ryan again for any trips of more than just a couple of days.”


About: I have had the pleasure and joy of being able to take care of lots of different animals for over 10 years. I spent some time on a farm where taking care of sheep, pigs, chicken, ducks, and the barn cats and dogs was a daily thing. Later on, I was the proud mama of a german shepherd named Bruno who stole my heart in every way. Unfortunately he is now gone since November of 2023. Since then, my lifestyle has changed and I am not able to have another dog of my own due to long working hours four days out of the week. However I love taking care of pets, especially dogs, and this is the perfect way to still have a connection with these wonderful creatures, even if they are not my own :) I promise to take care of yours as if it was my own! They will be royally treated with me! My Fridays through Sundays are free from other work and I would love to be able to take care of your pets, especially your dogs! I have a spacious home where your pet can feel free to roam and rest. I also have many trails I can take them on walks. There is also a spacious park area where we can play around if that's what your dog prefers! If I am coming to your home, I am more than happy to walk them short or long distances, play with them, or tend to any other pet needs!


“Katerina was the best cat sitter we've ever had! She followed instructions perfectly, was very prompt and communicative, and sent lots of pictures and videos of our grumpy old man. We will definitely book with Katerina again!”


“Aury took amazing care of my two cats. Very attentive and great communication — sent lots of pics and videos. She went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for and gave me peace of mind while I was out of town. Definitely recommend her 10/10 :)”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. I’ve also taken care of senior dogs, so I know how to handle their special care. I’m very experienced in feeding and grooming, and I love the companionship it brings to a family! I am a stay at home mom, and my husband works from home, so there’s always someone there to watch and play with your fur baby! We always have lots of time for walking and playing throughout the day. I have an extremely safe neighborhood with a little park about a 3 minute walk away, two kids that love playing with dogs, (15 and 8) and an extremely friendly mini goldendoodle!

About: My name is Katherine and I have large history of taking care of all types of dogs and cats. I’ve taken care of small, large, seniors, puppies, non-trained and even dogs that require medication, you name it! From a young age, my parents owned a pet sitting business called Fetch Pet Care and I would always love to help by walking, playing, and eventually learning to train some pooches! I have had about 7 years of total experience taking care of animals and using Rover.com! In 2021 I started my Bachelors in Physical Therapy and have been in school since. I now have a break for the summer and am eager to get back into my passion, which is taking care of pets! In my home, I have a cat named Mocha who has a bit of a medical history. in 2023 of January he was diagnosed with FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis). My fiancee and I decided to invest into a medicine called GS to save his life. After 90 days straight of injections, he is now cured and healthy. With that being said, I am able to administer any kind of medicine (orally or injectables) if needed for your pet. I am also able to train dogs at a basic level (teaching commands, potty training), as well as how to roll over, high-five or paw, etc. Being with animals is like therapy to me, I just love spending time with them. I go above and beyond to make sure your dog/cat has a relaxing and fun time! Since it is the summer time for me and I am currently not in school, my schedule is flexible and open for the next few months. There are many things to keep in mind when it comes to taking care of your beloved animals. A typical day with a dog involves walks, playtime, feeding time and resting periods. Based on what kind of exercise your dog needs, I am able to fit into any type of routine. If the dog needs an easy-going, normal walk with lots of potty stops, I would accompany that. If the dog requires lots of exercise and needs to go on a run, I am also able to do that. Health and Safety is crucial when it comes to taking care of animals. If the pet needs to have medicine administered I am able to present that as I have previous experience taking care of animals that need extra care and medicine. I would monitor your pet at all times and make sure it is living in a clean environment.

About: Hi there! My name is Jessica. My love for dogs started at a young age. Since 16 I have been caring for dogs starting with just about everyone’s pup in my neighborhood which quickly evolved into so much more over the years. I work partially from home in marketing so I have some flexibility in my schedule. I occasionally go into the office but have flexibility on when. I am available for feeding, playing, walking, or simply keeping your pup company. I have experience with dogs of various sizes ages and breeds. I also have a dog of my own that I rescued earlier this year so I have had my fair share of first hand experience navigating puppy ownership.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and my mom used to run a dog sitting business at our house so I was exposed to all kinds of dogs. We used to have dogs of all sizes stay at our house ranging from 5lbs to 120 lbs. I’m especially good with handling big dogs since I used to work as a kennel technician at an animal hospital. We had to walk the dogs regularly and I developed the skill of knowing how to properly handle dogs that pull and don’t walk as well. I worked at a dog day care as well so I’m used to handling multiple dogs at the same time and dividing my attention equally among the dogs. I’m currently home on break from school for 3 weeks and I’m available to walk all kinds of dogs and do drop in visits as needed! I currently offer drop in visits and walks and with this service comes a respect for the person's property and the animals of course. I stride to build a relationship with the dogs I’m walking so they can be more comfortable around me and make our walks or visits more enjoyable. I’m a social person and have no problem answering as many questions and you need me to in order to trust me with your fur babies.


About: I have personally owned dogs, cats and ferrets. I currently own two very active cats. I have about five years experience pet sitting for cats and dogs and walking dogs. I can provide pet sitting in your own home. I can perform feeding, walking, play time and waste clean up. I previously worked as a Records Clerk at the Palatine Police Dept for 15 years and I am now a stay at home wife. I am looking for something part-time to supplement my income. I chose dog walking so that I could spend time with animals, be able to be outside a lot and have a flexible schedule. I am very comfortable with all breeds and sizes of dogs. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Right now I am a stay at home wife and so my schedule is currently flexible. But mornings and afternoons typically work best for me. I am not able to care for pets in my home due to my own cats. For vacation needs I can make multiple visits to your home each day.

Jae went above and beyond, making sure Jackson was not only fed and walked but also happy and loved. When I returned, my dog was calm, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for—proof of the attention and care they received.

Dianna R.
“Dianna has been my dog sitter for a year now. Ever since she has been reliable and very flexible with my changing schedule. My dog is an energetic labrador that loves attention and exercise, dianna has given him something to look forward to everyday when i’m gone. Whether its taking him for walks, feeding, or playing ball I am always notified how the day went after dianna leaves. When my dog had a minor injury to his paw Dianna changed and reapplied a new dressing each day she came. I know I could always rely and trust Dianna to provide the best care and love for my dog.”
