Nichole was awesome! Sent lots of photos and updates throughout the whole week. We are first time Rover users and she definitely made us and our pup feel very comfortable with a great experience all around!

The nicest person I’ve ever met, She treated my problem child ( chocolate lab Henry ) like a pro and one of her own family. She can handle anything. And deserves 10 stars.

Paul took care of my pitty at a seconds notice. I needed a sitter for he quick and Paul was able to help. Him and his wife were very nice and made my pup feel very comfortable he didn't even bark at them. Once I picked him up Paul even gave me some tips on how to help with his separation anxiety, very happy with the process

About: I'm 50 years old, and have mostly owned pit bull breed dogs, but I love all breeds. From 2010 to 2018, my APBT was trained as a therapy animal, we did hospital visits and library events with children. I taught him several tricks, such as left, right, speak, play dead. My current pit is a rescue and I am off leash training. Dog Walking: I work in the Kankakee area, so coming to walk your dog in Kankakee, Bradley, Bourbonnais, is NO problem! Either in the mornings (after 7am) and/or later in the evenings (8ish pm) it's all negotiable. I live in Iroquois county, so I have more availability to walk your dog if you are in that area. Pet Sitting: I can come to sit in your home, if that is preferred. I am also available to just come let them outside, spend time and play, feed, water, clean up. Boarding: I would love to open our home to your precious babies. Non smoking, fenced in yard, lots of walks in my small town. My dog friendly pup can't wait to play tag around the dining room table. All pets are welcome on the couches and have full access to the entire 1st floor, including the bed in the spare room. My husband and I work different shifts, so someone is usually always home. A maximum of 3 to 4 hours of an occasional overlap in shifts. I am able to crate your pet if preferred, or close off access to half of the living space. Before boarding, a few meet and greets are necessary. More details as we move forward. Cats: I will help with your cats, spending time, play, feed, clean litter boxes. I also have several years of experience with birds. I know how important socializing is to birds, and leaving them alone can cause problems and stress. Boarding of cats and birds can be discussed. As I'm nearing retirement from the Healthcare field, I would like to do more of what I love, which is caring for and spending time with animals. If I can do that for you, and ease your worry while you are away, it's a win for everyone! Reach out and let me help you today. As far as boarding your dog, my husband and I work different shifts, so someone is always home. A fully fenced back yard and good sniffer walks in my small town. Your dog is welcome on the couches and downstairs bed. Access to entire 1st floor. I can also crate if preferred. Baths and nail trims are no problem! I have a 60lb staffordshire terrier who loves all kids, people and dogs. It's playtime almost 24/7! Unless it's nap time and he's professional at that also!

Although Oreo didn't want to be boarded, Jeff adjusted and showed up faithfully trying to befriend her. He was patient and very understanding. Would definitely recommend

About: I have experience caring for pets of different sizes and temperaments and understand the importance of routine, safety, and clear communication with owners. My large fenced yard allows for safe outdoor play, and I can accommodate crate training, senior pets, or pets who need a slower-paced environment. I keep a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent, hands on care throughout the day. Because I only host one pet at a time, your pet will receive dedicated attention, regular outdoor time in my large fenced yard, and a calm, structured routine. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays with advance notice to ensure the best experience for your pet. Your dog will stay in a quiet, pet-free, kid-free home in Morocco, Indiana. I have a large, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and exercise. Since I only care for one pet at a time, there are no group interactions or overcrowded environments.
