About: I'm just getting started taking care of pets professionally, but I've been looking after my friends and family's dogs since I was a kid. Looking forward to getting to know you and your four legged friends! I'm currently in grad school at the UofM, so my schedule is mostly dependent on when I have class. For the most part, I am available both weekdays and weekends. I am looking forward to visiting your pets in your home and treating that space with the respect it deserves! If you have any questions about my pet-sitring philosophy, don't hesitate to ask!

Octavia saved us with a no-notice booking after one of our boys decided he would rather chase snowflakes instead of going "potty' before we had to leave for work lol. She was prompt with her response and was incredibly flexible. The boys also love her!

Nealey was great with our cat Buster! She was very responsive, followed all instructions, and made sure he got lots of love and play time. Would definitely have her watch our cat again. :)

About: I have been taking care of dogs for a little over a decade for my friends and family. I also worked at a dog daycare while in college, where I played, fed cuddled, loved, did house visits and overall cared for about any dog breed you can think of! On a regular day at the daycare, we would have around 25 different dogs at a time to care for. I also have have my own dog named Harley and he’s the best boy! I work full time. 5x 8’s with varying shift times and days but I will work around my hours to take care of your fur babies! I will always treat your fur baby like one of my own. They will have my full attention when I am with them and I will make sure their needs are met. I will follow all instructions you have and give them all of the love to make sure they are happy!

About: Hi there! I’ve had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and I currently share my home with two of each. Whether it’s a tiny terrier, a gentle giant, or a quirky cat with a big personality, I’ve cared for animals of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. Animals have always gravitated toward me, and the feeling is mutual. I’m that person who greets the pets before the people — and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a cozy overnight stay, or a quick drop-in visit, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I offer all services on Rover and bring years of hands-on experience, a calm energy, and a deep respect for every animal’s unique needs. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I'm incredibly flexible with my availability for you and your pets. If it's a potty break or daily check ins for a week I have got you covered ☺️ Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I know how important it is to feel confident that your furry friend is in good hands, so I always take the time to get to know each animal's personality, needs, and routines. Whether I'm walking your dog, checking in on your cat, or having a sleepover with your pet at home, I aim to create a calm, positive environment where they feel secure and loved. I'm experienced with leash safety, reading animal body language, and giving meds if needed - and I'm always happy to provide updates and photos so you know how things are going. My goal is to make every visit feel like a mini vacation for your pet, and total peace of mind for you.

About: I cared for my own dog for 3 years before I had to give him away. That experience taught me responsibility, patience, and daily pet care. I’ve always felt a strong connection with animals and genuinely enjoy making pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for. I’m currently working part time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to check on, walk, and care for your bestie throughout the week. I’m also looking for another job, so pet care fits naturally into my routine and is something I genuinely enjoy doing. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by keeping a calm and clean environment, following routines closely, and paying attention to their behavior and needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow feeding/walking instructions carefully, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, patience, playtime, and supervision while in my care.

About: I have 5+ years of experience walking and taking care of dogs, and I’ve loved every second of it. Exercising with a furry friend is always on my agenda! I am currently a full-time student at DePaul University in Lincoln park! I only have a class or two daily, leaving me open weekdays from 8-11 and 5-10! Weekends my availability depends, but I am flexible! I love to exercise and find ways to get my walks in daily, the buddy would just be an added plus! I currently live in a dorm, so any services would need to be provided outside of my residence. Im willing to stay overnights most days, depending on distance to Lincoln park / the loop.

About: **Serious Inquiries Only *** With over 10 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I have developed a deep understanding and passion for working with small dog breeds and puppies. Throughout my career, I’ve been dedicated to providing top-tier care for both puppies and adult small breeds, helping them thrive in loving, healthy environments. I have worked extensively with a variety of small dog breeds, including Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Yorkies, Shih Tzus, and Dachshunds. My experience spans everything from basic pet care and feeding to behavior management, training, and health monitoring. I specialize in the unique needs of small dogs, including their dietary requirements, exercise routines, and socialization skills. My approach is centered around building trust and positive relationships with the pets in my care. With puppies, I focus on early socialization, potty training, and establishing consistent routines to set them up for a well-adjusted adulthood. With adult small dogs, I work on maintaining good health, managing behavioral issues, and fostering strong bonds between pet and owner. I’m particularly passionate about understanding the individual personalities of each dog, ensuring they receive personalized care that meets their specific needs. My extensive background in pet care has allowed me to not only enhance the lives of the dogs I care for but also provide valuable advice and support to their owners, helping them navigate the joys and challenges of dog ownership. I am dedicated to provide my full attention to your pup throughout their entire stay! If it’s boarding or just a fun day at doggy day camp I can ensure your pup will have a great time! I have a fenced in back yard , plenty of toys and activities to keep your pup busy! My home has central air conditioning for hot summer days . I also have a small male shitzu to keep your pup company during their stay .

You will never book another sitter again after meeting Bryan! He loves and understands cats so truly and provides the best, most thoughtful updates. My cat is my baby and my best friend and I have never felt more secure with her in someone’s care!! He took care of absolutely everything and ensured he knew all about her quirks and personality and play habits and veterinary information just in case. She seems so happy and well taken care of! I assure you, your cat will love Bryan.

About: I currently have two cats who are well taken care of and who I have administered medications to and cleaned up after. I also grew up around dogs and am well versed with handling dogs of different temperaments. I work full time but I am very free on the weekends and after work to care for pets. I am also free around lunch times on Monday and Friday. I am adept at handling cats and dogs in difficult situations. For dogs, I would put them in their crate for a cool down time. For cats, I usually prefer to put them in time out in a room or disengage ntil they are able to not be as overstimulated. I also like to re-direct energy using play so pets do not feel punished for their energy.

Megan helped us check on our 3 golden retrievers while we were away for a long weekend. She sent us photos every time she visited and we really liked how detailed she was on her daily reports. That really helped us feel less worried and relaxed during our trip. When we came back, our dogs were happy and healthy! We highly recommend her!!

Jimena is great! When I first met her for the meet and greet, I knew immediately that I could trust her to provide my 3 dogs and 1 cat with the best possible care over the next four days (while I was out of town). Over those 4 days, whenever she had a question, she did not hesitate to ask. She also provided me with updates, including pics, after every visit. When I arrived back, everything was very clean and orderly. No complaints whatsoever. Will definitely ask her back the next time I have to travel.

Brittany was fantastic! She was so thorough and sent great updates and photos for each visit - I was able to relax on our trip knowing that she had everything handled. This was our first trip away from our recently adopted dog, so I was a little nervous about how she would do, but she warmed up immediately to Brittany (which was impressive!) and I could tell by all the photos that she was relaxed and happy. Will absolutely be booking with Brittany again!
