“Beth did a great job caring for my 2 dogs and cat, as well as my friends dog who is large and very exuberant. She sent us great pictures frequently which made our day when we were away. We came home to the house looking great and well cared for. I would highly recommend Beth for any future fur-baby care!”


“Brandi watched our pups while we were at work during the day for a week and she was amazing! One of our pups had ACL surgery so we needed someone well trained and experienced to watch over her during her recovery process. Brandi kept us posted on how she was doing every day (which was so great for our peace of mind). We got pictures regularly too! She took such good care of her and we are so thankful we had such a wonderful care taker for our pup after her surgery!”



“We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Michelle! She loved our pup like one of her own and also took excellent care of the house. I hope that she is always available when we have to go away because we know our pup is in the best hands!! Highly recommend!”


“Highly recommend Katelyn! She took phenomenal care of our fur babies. She sent daily updates and pictures which helped ease how much I was missing them. We plan on using her again!”


“There are no words strong enough to describe how grateful I am for Lashay. She didn’t just watch my dog Juno — she loved him like her own. From the moment they met, I could see the patience, warmth, and genuine care Lashay brings to everything she does. Juno isn’t the easiest dog. He’s big, emotional, and full of personality. But Lashay showed incredible calm and understanding, meeting him with kindness every step of the way. She gave me thoughtful updates, photos, and messages that made me feel completely at ease — and honestly, a little jealous because he looked so happy. But it didn’t stop there. Lashay took care of my cat too — with just as much love and attention. I’m not sure how she balances so much with such grace, but I do know this: my animals were in the best hands possible. If you’re lucky enough to have Lashay care for your pets, take it. She is one of a kind. Loving. Professional. Communicative. And above all, trustworthy. Juno and I are forever thankful.”


About: Hi, I’m Zee, a reliable and compassionate pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all kinds. With several years of experience caring for dogs, cats, I treat every pet as family—because I know that’s what they are to you. My background as a 911 dispatcher has trained me to stay calm, focused, and dependable in any situation, and I bring that same sense of responsibility to caring for your pets. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, medication routines, or just keeping them company while you’re away, I make sure your furry friends feel safe, happy, and loved in their own home. I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m committed to earning that trust every time. I work a rotating night schedule which is only half of the month. My schedule is flexible and I am open to working around your fur baby’s needs! I care for your pets the same way I would my own, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. I take the time to understand their routines, preferences, and personalities so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, medications, or just quiet companionship, I provide calm, consistent care that keeps their tails wagging and whiskers twitching.

“Melanie did a great job with our pups! She even took them to their grooming appointment for us. My dogs can be shy at first but they warmed up to Melanie quickly. Thank you so much!”


About: I have had the joy of being surrounded by pets my entire life. I have been caring for my own pets (family pets included) and also my friends pets. I have pet sit for my parents cats and I have also pet sit for my friends goats and chickens on many different occasions. I have also had the pleasure of taking my friends dogs on multiple walks. I enjoy every minute I am surrounded by animals of many different shapes and sizes. I currently work from home and have the opportunity to have an open schedule during the week. I am available Monday through Friday from 6am - 10pm. Please make appointments at least a day in advance and cancel three days before scheduled appointment, if need be. I provide the best care for every and any animal I come across. For my own cats specifically, I make sure that they have access to fresh water and dry food daily. I also feed them wet food with the cleanest ingredients, 3 times a day. I also make sure to scoop their litter box multiple times a day and change it out every other day. I will transfer this personal experience of mine to your pets by providing them with the best care while also respecting my clients rules and wishes.

“This was the first time we had Debbie watch our pets and everything was perfect. She kept in constant communication with us, sent us pictures on a regular basis and took great care of our house. I’m looking forward to having her back!”


“Lisa took incredible care of our dogs while we spent the weekend out of town for our wedding. I loved getting all the pictures and updates! They even left us a wedding card and gift❤️”



“Jennifer was amazing!! She dropped in on our 4 dogs and always sent pictures and kept me updated each time she was there. I felt she was very attentive to not just one of our dogs but all 4 of them. She went above and beyond my expectations :) for sure will be rebooking with her. Not to mention she’s so nice and easy to talk to :)”


“We absolutely loved having Maggie dog sit Tilly and Hazel! She was on time and very thorough and kept us updated! We got tons of pictures and that made us so at ease being away from our dogs! She even assisted with meds and some other things! 100% would have Maggie back and would ask her again!”


About: I have always been around animals my whole life. I got my first dog at 11, and he’s still around and is the love of my life. I’m currently enrolled in college and only working part time, so I’m looking to see if I can help others out like how they’ve helped me. I will feed your pets, take them out or let them use the restroom, I will love and give them as much attention as possible.

About: I'm currently in school for my RN. I have worked in Hospice for a few years now, and for awhile I provided doggy hospice for my last pup (Callie) that passed in January of 2022, she was with me almost 17 years. I now have a crazyyyy puppy. I live less than 5 minutes from my job so my pup gets a lot of my time. I do work around 2-4 days a week so I'm looking to fill my free time with more pups and I know my puppy is craving someone to play with. Each dog I care for is cared for in different ways, no care is the same. Some are very high energy and require time and patience. Others are more timid and don't need as much couching.

About: I have taken care of friends and families pets since I was 16. I love taking them on walks and hanging out with them at home. I am currently working part time. I work 6 hours a day so I’m available to be with your pets outside of that time. I am free on weekends except if I have a game out of town but can make it back to where I won’t be gone for long. I make sure to keep the schedule that you have set for your pets. I try to make them as comfortable as possible. Hopefully they won’t care that you are not there.

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since i started volunteering at the animal hospital in freeport il. I started doing that when i was ten years old. I have attended just under two years of schooling towards being a zoologist in the past as well. I started fostering with my grandma when i was 14, and I have successfully adopted out 12 pit bulls that would have been put to sleep :) I have pet sit since i was old enough to babysit kids, my grandparents on my dads side were missionaries and would always have me take care of their three cats Lucy,linus, and peanut. I have also helped Noah's ark and Winnebago country with fostering off and on for many years (20 ). I look forward to snuggling your pooch! I work for myself, and can usually be be available almost anytime you need me to be. I am a very responsible and responsive person. I have a fenced yard, harnessed leads and two smooshy olde English bulldogs to keep your fur baby company. I also have cats they can play with , my cats aren't scared of dogs.

About: Hi! I’m Taylor. Thanks for considering me to look after your fur baby! I have quite an extensive history with dogs and small animals. I have owned several smaller dogs previously with my family growing up, with them ranging anywhere from 3-20 pounds. Currently, I have Luna (pictured!) who is a rescued Pitbull/Bulldog mix from Texas. She is spayed and up to date on all vaccinations. Her and I would love to meet your pup for boarding/doggie daycare! If you’d rather I swing by your place for a quick potty break and a round of fetch while you’re working, that is something I can do as well. I’m very flexible. My animal experience also includes those a little smaller than dogs. I currently have three guinea pigs, Puck, Ryan and Robbie, and a chinchilla named Otis. They are currently housed in an extra bedroom, secured by a baby gate. If you came on Rover looking for someone to watch your small animal, you found the right sitter! Just send me a message 🙂 I work at a hospital a varied schedule so there are plenty of days/nights I have home! It really just depends. My availability is pretty open, but shoot me a message or a booking request to see if I’m available 🙂 I have a fenced in yard at my home. I also have a tie out for dogs that are more Houdini like! I have a backyard camera as well for extra security. In terms of small animals, I have an extra bedroom secured in with a baby gate in which the small animals reside.
