House Sitting in Downs

“Dani was amazing! She provided daily updates, took care of the house and even offered to manage refilling the pups food when she realized we would be low when we got back. (Trinity is a hungry girl) The girls were really really well cared for and Nacho assured me that Dani is his favorite backup-human to help him supervise . Seriously no qualms on booking Dani again, you should book her , just don't pick the dates we need her.”

“I had never used Rover before and was a little wary, but Kolton was fantastic! He was willing to come meet my dog ahead of time and was great with communication before and during my trip.”

“As always, Megan is an absolute gem! She’s great with Poe and all of his craziness. She knows how to get him to eat and treats him like her own. Appreciate her thoughtfulness with the pics and updates too. Thank you so much Megan for taking great care of our boy!!”

“I was very happy to have Michele care for my dog & cat. She clearly has a passion for animals, and they benefitted from her loving energy. Communicating with Michele was easy, she was very responsive, and proactive with any questions or concerns. I will definitely call on Michele again the next time I travel!”

“Kaylor was great with Nilla and took excellent care of her during an overnight stay. She made everything easy for us and made us feel super comfortable with how she interacted with Nilla during the meet and greet. We will definitely hire her again when the need arises!”

“Amber took such great care of our pups while we were away, we didn’t worry a bit while we were gone. We’ll be reaching out to her again the next time we need a dog sitter.”

“Ashley was wonderful! She was easy to communicate with, very responsive, and sent regular updates of our girls which we always appreciate. We’ll definitely rebook with her!”

“Kirstie has been a fantastic caregiver for my dog Ranger. She has both kept him at her residence and came to mine multiple times a day to provide care, both options have worked very well for us. She is very patient and flexible which has been a tremendous help to me. Ranger always enjoys having her watch him & very much enjoys the attention she gives and the play time they get together. She does a great job of communicating, both about Ranger's needs and about scheduling. I highly recommend Kirstie!”

“Took care of my kitties during thanksgiving and I’m very grateful she did! I have two elderly cats that needs lots of care and attention. Everything went great and my cats were in a good mood when I got back. Thank you!”

“Tori was fantastic! My molly took to her so quickly! Tori is passionate about dogs and very professional. I will certainly be booking her again!”

“Danny is very attentive, interactive, loving, and caring when it comes to his human friends & pet friends! He doesn’t just worry about feeding them properly and letting them outside quickly just to “do their business”. He is very athletic & likes to incorporate physical activity into their daily lives as well- multiple times a day if possible. I honestly can’t imagine his life without a dog in it. It would be an honor for you to have Daniel care of your pet!”

“Brittany was absolute amazing!! She showed so much patience with two high maintenance dogs, and showed so much love to them while I was gone. Sent in depth updates and tons of pictures! Heaven sent!!”

About: I spent a summer in high school washing and drying dogs. I’ve had dogs most of my life and find myself to be a caring individual. I enjoy being outside and don’t mind walking in the snow or rain. I take great pride in being reliable and persistent in my work. I am currently a full time student at Illinois State University and work part-time at a local Outfitters. I am willing to work through my school and work schedule if it means early mornings or late nights. In my experience around animals, I allow them time to warm up to me, especially in my experience washing and drying dogs. I am known for being cautious of my surroundings as well.

“Laney has been my dependable dog caretaker for the past 5 years for my two babies, Boo and LG (short for Little Girl). 5 years ago, Boo had spinal surgery due to a progression of intervertebral disk disease. The veterinarians said that she would need constant care to rehabilitate her. Due to my and husband’s job, we couldn’t be there for our baby 24/7. After a long search, my coworker had recommended Laney; she gave me her credentials and contact info. And within 20 minutes, I set up a time to have Laney meet Boo. Boo took to Laney like white on rice. Laney was there for my baby in our time of need. Over the years Boo has improved and is able to wag her tail like she was a puppy. I thank Laney for the constant walks and attentive care that she gave Boo. Due to sporadic travel for work, Laney had to spend multiple weekends, and overnights to take care of Boo. Laney is always thoughtful and takes care of not only Boo but our home when we are away. About 2 years ago, we rescued LG, who is a miniature Boo. LG has limitations since she was abused by her previous owner. She burrows herself into blankets and doesn’t like to be touched in certain spots. When I and my husband had to travel, Laney was our first call. Laney understood LG’s restrictions and needs. Laney gave LG the time that she needed to warm up to Laney. After the first visit, LG loved Laney just as much as Boo. I highly recommend Laney. She is, without reservations, a dependable, kindhearted individual that gives you her upmost care. I know Laney will be there for us and my babies whenever I need her.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was a teenager. I’ve cared for my own pets, as well as having taken walked, fed and housed pets for sites like Rover. I work as a nanny during the weekday mornings, but am typically free by the early afternoon! I am completely free weekends for walking or pet sitting! In the clients home, I will treat the pet as if they are my own, sticking to their schedule and providing lots and lots of love!

“Before Jasmine we had not used a boarder, and was very apprehensive because of so many horror stories. However, Jasmine has been a great asset in caring for our little furry four legged baby. She was both flexible and understanding with pick up and drop off, because we frequently visit our family out of town. We have used her several times since the initial time, and she has always been predictable in her care and we have been appreciative. Anyone using her will be satisfied with her care.”

“Georgia did wonderful watching and caring for my cat and dog. I was so worried leaving for a week but she has done great and sent videos of my dog enjoying a pup cup. She walked him to our local ice cream shop to give him some out time while I was gone. She’s great!!”

About: I have previous experience walking dogs, and pet sitting, and have taken care of my own dog for three years now (including the puppy stage) and absolutely love caring for dogs! I have my own dog (silver lab named Lilah) so I already manage my own pup! Dog care is in my daily life, so I'm pretty scheduled on feeding, playing, walking, etc.... I am very, very, attentive. I spend probably 90% of my day-to-day life simply giving my dog attention. I am very loving and make sure to spend quality time with my dog/ dogs i take care of!

“Madison was great with Edgar! She listened about his needs, and sent us lots of pupdates! He can be a little shy at first, but she loved on him right away and they were instant best friends! Will definitely be using her more in the future!”

“Alicia is My oldest Daughter and has been raised since the age of 12, around dogs. She started in my petcare business cleaning, moved her way up to providing pet care as soon as she could drive. She has been schooled in behavioral and obedience training. I’m her lifetime she has had a German Shepard, lab, chihuahua and a Husky mix and they all have been EXCELLENT examples of their breeds! Our Family was raised to respect the fact that our pets provide us with unconditional love, so we work together to make sure they are not stressed while you travel!”
