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: I have been taking care of my Australian shepherd since I was twelve years old. I've been grooming her, walking her, training her, and feeding her since I was a child. Throughout my life I have gotten two more dogs and many more animals that I have loved taking care of. My college classes have all been online so I have had plenty of time to be at home and spend time with my three dogs. At my home I have three dogs. Two that usually keep to themselves but one Husky that loves to play. I have a large fenced in back yard with plenty of room to run around, as well as cages to crate dogs if needed.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was a teenager. Pets that belonged to my sister to pets that have belonged to my neighbors. I have experience feeding and walking dogs. I'm currently in between jobs at the moment, but that'll change in a little while. So, take advantage while you can. Of course, when I do get a job, I'll still make time to care for your pet! I'm always dependable to feed your pet on time and walk your pet for however long is needed. I also enjoy playing and interacting with your pet.

About: I'm a friendly and trustworthy adult who is looking for occasional pet sitting or pet care jobs. I am responsible, I love animals, and I'm a pet parent myself. I grew up with cats and dogs as beloved family members, and am living the same as an adult, with a small family including a black cat, a basset hound, and a yellow lab mix. I promise to care for your home and pets as if they were my own. Any questions or special requests, please contact me to discuss. Thanks for your consideration! My main profession is as a freelance graphic designer, and I work from home, so my available hours are very flexible. I'm comfortable with cats and dogs of any size or breed. I am open to any care needs you specify! Just let me know how I can help, and I will do my best to treat your beloved pets with as much love as I treat my own. Walks, play time, park visits, medication, senior care, and more are all within my skill set.

About: I worked for two years in an Animal Hospital, have volunteered with Humane Societies and Shelters. Come from a family that has fostered over 100 dogs, including our own! I work days and evenings, I am always available between 6am and 10am as well as after 7pm weekdays. Weekends have much more flexibility in when I am available. I am thorough and make sure to meet all safety, health and wellness needs of the pets. Pets are family and i do my best to make sure you know your pet is well taken care of and loved.

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 have been raised with a pet by side. When I have born we had two brittany spaniels that have since passed on. In 8th grade, after they passed, we adopted another puppy brittany. A year later, we adopted another, to have our current pair of brittanys. So I have experience raising puppies as well. I play with them outdoors and indoors, brush them, clean up their poop, bath them, feed them, and train them. They also get taken on walks at the local forest preserve for stimulation. I have experience in caring for fish and snakes. Between dogs, I had my cat to keep me company. She is solely my cat, so she got the same attention as the dogs, plus I bought her toys, treats, litter, and food. Outside of my dogs I have pet sit goldens labs, goldendoodles, springer spaniels, and many other breeds. As in my headline, I don't think any animal is low maintenance. That just means the pet isn't getting the care it deserves. I had my cat at my dorm first semester, and I fed her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I made sure to play with twice a day and we played birds on the tv for stimulation as well. I had a weekly schedule to brush her twice a week, and clean the litter box every Sunday and Wednesday. At home I would alternate playing with my dogs, training, and brushing them whenever possible. I can play indoors and outdoors. I can take the animal for walks. Clean up any potential messes, such as muddy dogs or if a cat has a hairball. I can accompany senior pets that need help eating. I can brush the animal. And feed them, and do basic training.

About: I have grow up with pets my whole life. I am currently unable to have one where I am living, so this is a perfect way to get outside and interact with some wonderful animals. I have always has a cat in my personal life, but family members, friends and roommates have had dogs. I would absolutely love the opportunity to get to know your dog and care for them with the same love and affection you give them. I am currently a staff employee at the university, every day I have a slightly different schedule. Most mornings and evenings are free. Weekends as well. Afternoons I am a bit busier. But more than willing to discuss schedule further, please message me. I am not able to have pets currently, so housing is not an option. But I have such a huge heart for animals and would love to have more fur babies in my life even if it is only temporary.

“Amazing walker, makes sure that your dog gets the attention they need and always sends pictures and videos and updates on how the visit went!”

“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: 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

“Kaitlyn was great! Took great care of our pup and even brought in a giant package that arrived unexpectedly while we were away.”

About: I have helped take care of my neighbors dogs for the past six years. I have taken care of many breeds, big dogs, and small dogs. I own a small dog myself. I make sure to take them on long walks, feed them, and play with them for at least half an hour to give them the love they deserve. I also make sure to send the owners photos of their babies so that they can see them even when they are away. I am currently a student athlete at Northern Illinois University. I am on the women’s golf team. Although I am busy I love dogs and being able to spend time with them as much as I possibly can! I make sure not to crowd in the dogs spaces and never try to startle them. When taking them on walks I make sure they are on a leash and I do not let them out of my sight when I am in the house with them!

“Kiana was great with them! The dogs took to her right away and they were clearly very well cared for. She is very reliable and knowledgeable as well. I highly recommend and will definitely be a repeat client.”
