“Glen was so great! And our dog who is usually suspicious of any stranger coming in our house just loved him! Prompt walks and gave us regular updates which made us feel comfortable being the first time we used this service while we were out of the country. Definitely recommend him!”
“Katelyn was truly amazing for the month of May for us. Very flexible & responsive. I have a crazy puppy who has thrown up & walked in poop & she’s taken care of him like Gus was hers. I plan to use her again when we are back from our honeymoon!!!!!”
“Regan was a life saver, my walker canceled at the last minute and she was able to cover. Very quick response, good communication and very accommodating. I will definitely use her again for walks.”
“Izzy was great !! She was available last minute and really helped us out ! My dog got plenty of attention and she even sent multiple pictures a day :) will definitely use Izzy for future dog sitting needs !!”
“Katie is WONDERFUL!! Wags, my overweight beagle (who lets me live there with my cat Top!) is already showing signs of having more energy. When I come home, he is bouncing up and down to meet me. It has been a while since he had this energy; I know it’s ALL because of Katie walking Wags! Besides this, Wag’s loves Katie and didn’t give me a second look when she came for him!!!♥️♥️”
About: I worked at a doggie daycare and boarding facility for two years, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. From group play supervision to feeding, cleaning, and administering medications, I gained experience in all aspects of pet care. I’ve also personally trained three dogs of my own—including a Great Pyrenees and a Black Lab puppy—so I’m very comfortable with everything from basic commands to crate training and leash manners. I’m confident with high-energy pups, large breeds, and dogs who may need a little extra patience. I’m currently available full-time until August 11th, so I can offer flexible and attentive care throughout the day. After that, I’ll be working full-time, but I’ll still be available for evenings, weekends, and early mornings depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you and your pup! Whether your pet is in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take time to understand each dog’s personality and needs—whether that means sticking to a routine, giving space, or providing extra playtime and cuddles. In my home, I create a calm and structured environment with plenty of supervision, especially during introductions with my own dogs. I’m experienced with crate training, managing group dynamics, and caring for dogs with specific behavioral needs. If I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same respect and care I give to my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely to ensure your pet stays happy, safe, and stress-free.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8, but have been an animal lover all my life. While I started out just walking them, I began taking on responsibilities of bathing, training, and taking specific care of their health — I was always the first called over when my family’s late beagle, Calvin, was experiencing the seizures that came genetically. I am not just reliable and passionate, but experienced as well, and have an eight-year-old rescued Lhasa Apso named Yosef. Besides my job as a front cashier, I’m available during the late morning and the whole afternoon — to walk, sit, and take care of your pup. I am able to play with, walk, bathe, and administer oral medicines to pets. Special requests for their health or safety are no issue or feat for me!
About: I am currently getting my bachelor's in animal behavior and care. I've had many species of dog from small to large as well as cats. I love all breeds and I am open minded to all animals. Even the scaly ones. I have 3 cats and a dog with ptsd from their previous owner. I work nights but am more then able to adjust my schedule in order to pet sit. I will still be sure they are fed properly, played with, and taken out as needed. I will ensure your pet is fed, walked, taken out and generally well looked after with lots of playtime. I can work with their dietary schedules and needs as well as their special care.
“Kara is reliable, caring, and wonderful with our puppy. We hired her to walk our dog weekly and will definitely rehire for the same service and dog sitting in the future.”
About: I’ve volunteered at shelters and helped find loving homes for even wild animals from working at a wildlife sanctuary. I’ve been working with pets since I was a 17 year old. I’m currently in employed so I have all the time to care for all the pets. I have a love for active pets so if your pet is hyper I’m your person I have a fenced in yard and also have a husky mix so if you have an animal who needs a buddy to feel safe she has it covered
About: My family has had dogs my whole life! I have 2 pups of my own at home. I currently volunteer for a service dog program and have puppy raised and fostered many of the program’s dogs for an extended period of time. I customize my schedule on a weekly basis according to school and my part time job. I am a college student and I work at night 2 nights a week, so my availability should be open the majority of the day. For the days you may book with me, your pup(s) will be my priority. I can crate your dog, if needed. The time spent with your dog will vary based on your daily routine, I’ll try to match it to the best of my ability!
About: I’ve had pets since I was 4. I learned how to take care of them at a very early age. Caring and loving animals has always come naturally to me. Pet care is my full time job. I’m available mornings, afternoons and early evening hours. Everyday of the week. Including some holidays. You can always message me with any questions. I have a fenced backyard where throughout the day my pet babies are able to go out and run, play and fun playing fetch or just sunbath.
About: I have been caring for dogs my entire life. I have experience bathing, walking, and playing with Chihuahua , Dachshund, Yorkie, Coton de Tuléar, Pitbulls,Boxers, and so many more! **Prices accounted for Rover’s fee** My schedule is fairly flexible to meet you and your pet’s needs! I do ask for request to be submitted at least a day in advance. I ask for same day care to be submitted two hours before requested arrival. My interactions with the animal depends on your pet’s interactions with me. For example, if your pet likes cuddles and has alot of energy. I would match that energy with various games and of course snuggle with them. However if your pet is the complete opposite and like to relax all day, I can do that too!
About: Hello! I am very passionate about dogs and will provide loving, patient care while you are away from home. I have fostered many puppies and adult dogs in my home through a dog rescue in California for 5 years, and continue to do the online work for that rescue from my home in Illinois. I have two fur babies of my own Espresso and Lucy, and our two cats mostly hang out in whatever room the dogs are not in :) We have a secure, fenced backyard with room to run. Dog cuddling and treats are a staple here, as well as walks, frequent potty breaks and playing with toys! My six year old daughter loves dogs but also respects boundaries and will leave them alone if they don’t want attention. I am prompt, professional and respond to texts/calls in a timely manner. Please contact me if you have any questions! I am a stay at home mom attending school online, so frequent potty breaks, cuddles and playtime are constantly available to them, or whatever else they might need. I have a fenced in yard and ample room to get the zoomies out. Dogs are welcome on the couch and I have a few dog beds available too.
About: I have been in the animal care taking field for about 5 years now. I went to school to get my vet tech degree as well as working with rescues for the last 3 years. I am currently going back to school to earn my BA in wildlife conservation. I currently work part-time as a daycare teacher and the rest of my time is dedicated to the animals in my care! I'm currently a foster / volunteer for Pet Pack Rescue Initiative. We have our own building which is dedicated to all of our boarding / daycare clients! We have a large playroom and two separate kennel rooms, which ensure the safety of keeping dogs separate if needed! We have staff here 7 days a week / 24 hours a day, so your pup will never be left unattended. We have our own office space that is dedicated to our fosters and pet sitting clients, we have a fenced in dog run on the side of our building (that is shaded) and gives the perfect space for your fur babies to run, play and enjoy the outdoors. We also have three separate rooms inside set up with kennels and toys! Our separate kennel rooms ensure the safety of everyone's fur babies! We also have staff on the premises 7 days a week, 24 hours a day so your fur babies will never be left unattended.
About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of animals since I was 9 years old. The founder of S.A.M.S. (Stray Animal Midway Shelter) was the first to introduce me to pet sitting, and I took care of her rescue when she was away on vacation for 7 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to take care of their furry family for as long as I can remember! I have experience training puppies with basic commands, giving medicine to older dogs, and caring for farm animals! I’m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your furry friends! I am available to house sit on some weekends and during most weekdays! Your pup will get daily exercise, lots of love, and because I can stay at your home, they will be able to keep their daily routine. I am also available to board your pup! I know traveling can be stressful for pet owners. My goal is to give you the comfort you need that your pets are in good hands. By staying in your home, I can keep your dog's daily routine and help reduce your pet's stress while you are away. Your furry family will get plenty of attention, exercise, and lots of snuggles! If you choose to board at my house, I have a Miniature Australian Shepherd that would love to keep them company! And I can assure you that they will never be left alone or unattended.

Natalie L.
“Natalie used to live right next to me out in the country. Even from a young age she showed great responsibility caring for her own animals, and when I needed to be out of town I would hire her to take care of mine. Natalie attentively saw to the needs of my dogs, cats, chickens, goats, pigs, horses...and even a steer! I haven't found anything yet that she can't do. :) Natalie is extremely loving and compassionate, and also of the highest moral standards. She is honest and does everything with integrity. You couldn't find a better person to care for your pets!”
