“Annabelle was amazing. We had snow and ice and she still managed to get out to check on our boys. We will 100% plan to use her in the future and our boys give all positive reviews of her visits too!”

About: I've had pets most of my life. The past ten years I've been a mother of two beautiful girl fur babies. I'm looking to care for others doing what brings me joy in life. I'm available for dog walking, drop-in visits and dog boarding by appointment. I prefer a harness when walking all fur baby's so their comfortable and secure. I can walk & feed your pets at your home when I drop in for a visit. If your doggies are staying overnight please make sure to bring their preferred toys, food and bed or blanket so they feel more at ease. We only get so much time with these little angels that love so unconditionally. So let's make it count🐾🐕🥰 I have two female un-spayed fully vaccinated dogs. One is my shy little rat terrier/dachshund mix (Lucy) and the other is my lovebug beagle (Delilah). I have a fenced backyard in which I can keep our pets separate or together.
“Brandon and Catherine did a fantastic job with our dog. Abbie was well taken care of. Communication was great and they even helped out with few house items that we needed. They were also available when we needed to extend their service unexpectedly. We will definitely be using them in the future!”
“Victoria is the sweetest human being! She took such good care of my cat when I was gone, and always gave such detailed visit reports with TONS of amazing pictures! Shes super detailed and spends the visits doing what the pet wants, whether its cuddles, play time, or even just sitting with them while they watch the birds in the window😂 I will definitely be booking with her again for any other trips!! 1000/10!”


About: I’ve spent years caring for animals in many different settings, and that experience shapes the way I approach every drop‑in visit and dog walk. For the past few years, I’ve owned a natural dog treat business, which has given me a strong understanding of canine nutrition and how to motivate dogs gently and positively. Previously, I managed a day boarding facility for three years, ensuring dogs stayed safe, clean, and comfortable while maintaining consistent routines. I also own a small farm, which has taught me patience, structure, and confident animal handling. All of this means your baby gets someone who is calm, reliable, and experienced — whether I’m stopping by for a potty break, giving medication, refreshing water and food, or taking them on a fun, structured walk. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. Very flexible between the hours of 7 am-5pm any day of the week. We own a small farm, our animals are well cared for every morning and evening. During each drop‑in or walk, your pet gets calm, attentive, and reliable care from someone who truly understands animals. I always start by checking in on your pet’s overall well‑being — making sure they’re comfortable, safe, and happy before anything else. For drop‑ins, I handle the essentials like fresh water, feeding (if needed), medication, and a quick tidy‑up of any pet areas. I also make time for whatever your pet enjoys most, whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or a quiet moment of reassurance. For walks, I focus on giving your dog a safe, structured, and enjoyable outing. My background in rescue work, kennel management, and farm life means I’m confident handling dogs with all kinds of personalities and energy levels. I tailor each walk to your dog’s needs — from slow, sniff‑filled strolls to upbeat, energy‑burning adventures.
About: Since I’ve been a kid I’ve been around animals of all kinds. I have owned dachshunds, poodles, labs, and other animals. I love to take care of them. I work full time but I will be phasing more into pet care. Once I can get my facility built and inspected I will be able to board quite a few animals. I will make sure the animals are fed and watered. Depending on how long the watch is I’ll take them out however many times needed. I will also follow all instructions given by the owners.

About: I have been around pets since I was born and I currently have a Rottweiler, 2 cats, and a fancy leopard gecko. They are my children! I care for animals daily. I clean up after dogs, feed them, water them, play and cuddle with them, and I even help take care of my mothers cat. I will care for pets in their own homes by feeding, watering, walking, and playing with them. I will also clean up after small dogs that are in the process of being potty trained.

About: I am a Veterinary Technician who is currently waiting to take his national certification exam to work in the state of Tennessee. I have been working in doggy daycares and vet clinics for the last eight (8) years and have loved every minute of it. I recently moved to Tennessee from the Pacific Northwest and would like to continue to care for pets even though I’m not in a clinic yet. Even when I return to clinics I still plan to keep doing walks and home visits if for no better reason than to get out of my house everyday. I am currently unemployed and looking to start making money again and the best way to do so is on my own terms. I am free every day except for Sundays to do walks, house visits, or even house sit if needed. In my clients homes I make sure to follow all instructions given for pet care. I have a great deal of experience working with pets that need medications and special care after working in an Emergency Clinic, and I do my best to clean up and leave the home in the same state I received it.
About: I tailor my services to meet the dogs' needs. I offer flexible times and dates. And secure safety at all times, looking after your pet. I currently work part time so I can be pretty flexible with times and dates. I will give you dog or cat all the attention they need. I do not board at this time, but I will come to your home and take care of your animals. While you are at work or on vacation.
Elgin cat parents share their Rover experiences
Misti did an excellent job watching my cat, Nipsy. She maintained clear communication throughout and managed to get my shy cat to warm up to her. She was super easy to coordinate with. I’d gladly book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for dependable pet sitting.
