About: I’ve been a dog mom to my Golden Retriever, Ellie, since I was 9 years old, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Along with raising Ellie, I’ve also helped care for family and friends’ pets over the years, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and routines. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. Whether they love long walks, playing outside, or just getting lots of attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets throughout the week. Outside of class, I have availability for walks, drop in visits, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I enjoy being active, so spending time with animals fits naturally into my routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I will care for them with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own dogs. I will always follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, and provide a safe, calm, and caring environment.

About: Hi there! I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have been around cats/dogs my whole life, from puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats! I currently have a dog and a puppy of my own. I am a school speech therapist who is off work for the summer. I would love to make some new furry friends and to help ease your dog mom/dad guilt while you’re vacationing or at work. I will treat your babies as my own, whether it’s giving them snuggles while you’re away, taking your furry friends for a walk or just stopping by to say hello! I understand how hard it is to leave your fur babies. I value open communication and will send you updates with pictures while you are away or busy! If you are interested or have any questions please reach out to me. I’d love to set up a meet and greet :) I am on summer break from work so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to my daily schedule.

About: I've had pets in my family since I was a kid, and I have taken care of foster animals, family pets and friends pets throughout adulthood. I have taken care of pets who have medication needs and environment needs (scared of thunder and such.) I work for myself, so I am able to work around my work hours accordingly and easily to provide the care that is needed for my clients. My care is adaptive to each pet family's needs and home. I am an observant person and pay attention to the details while caring for pets. I cannot take on daycare or boarding services right now, but I am more than happy to take dogs for walks, care for cats, and pet sit while you're away.

About: ****Attention****Before booking your pet’s stay with me, if your dog is an escape risk, I will not service them. ( I will go into more detail through booking.) I have taken care of my family member dogs and ever since then , my family never relies on anyone else to take care of them. I will walk , feed , play and bathe your pets. I will do everything I can to make sure your pups are having a good time and make sure they are happy with their experience. I am available everyday of the week and I can also work around your time so I have all day and night to play and take care of your pups ! I also live with my spouse and he is also an animal lover so he will be helping me out also to make sure they enjoy their stay. We will make sure that your doggies get all the snuggles and cuddles. They will be in a non -smoking and clean home. This is a non-danger home that I am staying in. I will do everything to make sure you and your pets are in a trusted and safe environment. They will be in the house before it gets dark and I won’t let any harm happen to them.

“Wendy took great care of our 12 year old dog while we were gone for a week. She visited our house every day and sent pictures. She was very fast to respond to messages and was easy to work with. I would recommend Wendy. Thank you!”

About: My husband and I have had 2 dogs for ten years and recently adopted a senior dog. We trained the younger dogs ourselves and they are the best part of our day. I have a caretaking job that keeps me busy Tuesday through Thursday, 9 to 5. I am still available for overnights any night of the week, morning and evening drop ins Tuesday through Thursday and all drop ins Friday through Monday. I love my rover job and would do it full time if possible. I am patient and kind with animals and truly enjoy them. I walk my dogs regularly and make them fresh dog food. My older dog took 4 pills every morning before we had to send her over the rainbow bridge.

“Makenzey is the best. She’s awesome with our little Chihuahua! She’s super reliable and our dog loves her!”

About: Hi! I am Lillian and I'm an avid animal lover and would love to hang with your pups or cats!! I have had experience with all ages of dogs and cats and would be comfortable with all age groups. I grew up working with horses, dogs, cats and even nursed wild bunnies to health. I've worked with high energy dogs to the older guys and gals who need some extra coaxing. Some of the animals I've taken care of in the past have needed meds or special food routines ect. so that shouldn't be a issue at all.. I love a long walk or run as well if needed. I look forward to working with you and your pups! I am free all day and would love spending my evenings, mid day or afternoons walking or hangin with your pal. I am available early mornings as well as Sunday and Monday! I currently have three cats and a husky who are bonded and beyond besties. We are avid hikers and campers together and they truly love their adventures. My pup and two cats currently on medication so I am familiar with and comfortable helping out in any way.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve owned dogs myself, helped care for neighbors’ pets, and walked friends’ dogs over the years. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and overnight care throughout the week. I understand pets thrive on consistency, and I’m happy to work with your routine to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard and live in a safe south-side neighborhood with plenty of room for walks and playtime. Whether your pet loves to be active or prefers quiet cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel at home and cared for like family.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life! From puppies to seniors, big to small breeds, I love and can provide proper care for all. I’ve dog sat and house sat for over 5 years and thoroughly enjoy spending my time with animals :) I’m a student enrolled in virtual classes so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m pretty much always able to work around whoever needs sitting! I offer drop ins to keep your pets company, let them out, feed them, and give them the love and attention they need. I can house sit as well but prefer a meet and greet before to establish trust and safety!

About: I have had 12 years of personal experience including 3 years of personal training my newer dog, Rosie! I have past experience from working at petland so I have a basic to intermediate training on taking care of both dogs and younger pups including much needed skills such as handling medication (pills, liquids.), bathing and grooming. I was gone from Rover for a while due to military services, but am back now to continue caring for your furry friends! I am currently a part-time student so that means weekends are completely free for me to take care of your pups or kittens! However, if there is an emergency I am willing to be flexible weekdays as well. We have a large fenced-in backyard that is available for the pup at their disposal! There are a total of 5 family members, including one teenager who is 17 years old. I do have 2 other dogs as well. One older dog named Frankie who is currently 8 years old, and one younger dog named Rosie, who turned 3 this year! Both are very well behaved when it comes to new animals in the house.

About: I have had dogs in my house all my life! My family runs a dog grooming store, handling as many as 100-130 clients a week. I have worked in the retail and food service for the last 5 years and have great professional skills and patience. Give your pooch a chance with me and they’ll feel exceptionally loved and tended to! My only other job is Uber Eats, so I am completely flexible! Let me know what times work for you. I am completely open all 7 days of the week and am willing to spend the night! Whether you want your dog tended to part time or full time, I’m here for it! A dog must feel safe in order to feel at home. It is my duty and goal to ensure the safety of your dog. When introducing myself, I will get down on my knees and open my hands for him or her to sniff. From there on, I strive to be as loyal and loving as your dog is!

About: There’s nothing like the love you receive back in a single look. I’ve had dogs my entire life—being a pet lover is simply part of who I am. To me, they’re not just pets—they’re a special part of our lives. With 13+ years working in a pet care company and over 2 years fostering 21+ dogs, I bring both professional expertise and real-life experience. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs—both small and large breeds, from 9-week-old puppies to senior dogs. I’ve also regularly cared for dogs of neighbors and friends, building trusted relationships within my community. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else is a big decision. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your dog is safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and especially comfortable helping dogs adjust, feel at ease, and build confidence. I truly love how every dog is unique—their personality, their energy—and getting to know each one is something I genuinely love. At home, I have two well-trained dogs—Valentino (Golden Retriever) and Romeo (Australian Shepherd)—who help foster dogs learn positive behaviors and feel comfortable. I treat every dog as my own, making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy—so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I’m available for walks Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM, and generally on weekend mornings. My schedule allows me to provide consistent attention and reliable care during these hours. I aim to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, so they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I can be flexible for additional times when needed—just feel free to reach out and we can coordinate what works best for you and your dog. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured, and loving environment where dogs can feel secure and at ease. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and two well-trained, friendly dogs—Valentino (Golden Retriever) and Romeo (Australian Shepherd)—who help create a balanced and positive environment, especially for dogs who benefit from socialization. With my background fostering over 21 dogs, I’m experienced in reading dog behavior, managing different temperaments, and helping dogs adjust smoothly. I can also follow specific instructions such as crate training, feeding routines, or medications if needed. I treat every dog with care, attention, and responsibility—so you can feel confident your dog is in safe and capable hands.
