About: I’ve taken care of up to 4 dogs at a time. I’ve had 6 years of experience. I have taken care of senior dogs, aggressive dogs, and easy dogs. I have always been a dog person and love taking care of them! I will make sure your animals feel loved and safe when you are away. I am currently taking a break from a full time job to take care of my mom who recently had a stroke. My schedule is pretty open, and I will be able to work around taking care of her. I have a fenced yard for my dog. He is aggressive and pulls on walks but we are working on it and I am capable of making sure he still gets out for walks, I am in shape so this makes it possible for me to do. As far as in my clients home, I make sure to meet with them first before showing up to dog sit. I find this to be helpful. Of course this isn’t required but I am open to that. My main goal is to make sure the pets are feeling safe and happy when their owners are away. I take safety very seriously. Examples include making sure they don’t get into anything, and that they are secured both on walks and outside in the yard. I have never had a situation with dogs having to go to vet or getting out.

“Michael watched our dog while we took a trip out of the country and did an amazing job! He stayed in constant contact with updates on our dog and went above and beyond. We will certainly use him again for our next trip when we are away. Our son loved seeing all the videos and photos of our dog Michael sent. It was very comforting knowing she was in such great heads. Very pleased with our experience. I would highly recommend him to watch your pet when you are away.”

“We were contemplating on how our 2 dogs were going to be taken care of while we were on vacation for 4 days. We have a 9 year old Dachshund and a 4 month old German Shepherd and were skeptical of boarding them in a kennel due to the fact that we didn’t want to put that stress on a puppy. We usually have a family member stay at the house to care for the dogs while we are gone for a long period of time, but we didn’t have this option during this time. We came across Rover and said to ourselves, “Let’s meet a sitter and see what happens”. We came across Carolyn and chose her because of her background working with animals. When we met her, we knew instantly we liked her and our 2 dogs enjoyed her. So we moved forward with booking her and when we returned back from our trip, our 2 dogs were happy and well taken care of! We’ll definitely be using Carolyn in the future!”

“I would give Imari a million stars if I could! She took such great care of our little pittie and senior cat. She went above and beyond and was very flexible. 10/10 would recommend! 🙂”

About: I’ve always grown up with animals and had to be very responsible at a young age for crate schedules, feeding times, play times. Etc. My dog back in my hometown was my pride and joy but since I moved I also do miss that bond every now and then w a furry companion. Part time server / bartender and just needed some extra work but also something that I enjoy doing. Who doesn’t love spending time w fur babies?!? I do have a smaller apartment so smaller animals preferred when it comes to boarding within my own home. Very respectful for other people’s homes and will do whatever is necessary to make sure the home and animals are both taken care of.

About: I know the feeling of standing at the door with your suitcase, looking back at your pet, wondering if they’ll be okay. My job is to make sure that the moment you close that door, you stop worrying. Here’s why you can: my cat Wall-E came to me feral. He trusted no one. Today he walks on a leash, comes when I call him, and asks for cuddles. That’s the skill I bring to every animal in my care, cat or dog: reading body language, respecting fear instead of pushing through it, and letting your pet set the pace. Shy, anxious, reactive, or “difficult with strangers” pets aren’t difficult to me. Trust earned slowly is the kind that lasts. Your pet won’t be squeezed between errands. I work from home, so animal care is already the shape of my mornings and evenings. Drop-in visits, midday potty breaks and check-ins, walks, daily feeding schedules, and extended stays all fit naturally into my day. The details matter to me because they matter to your pet. Exact feeding routines, portion sizes, prescription diets, the walking route your dog knows, the bowl that has to be in that one spot: I follow your instructions to the letter, not approximately. Litter boxes are scooped every visit, yards are checked, and I pay attention while I do it, because changes in appetite or bathroom habits are often the first sign something’s off. You know your pet best. My job is to keep their world exactly the way you built it. And if the worst-case scenario in your head ever became real: I’m CERT emergency-response trained through our village police department. I handle medications, supplements, and senior-pet health monitoring calmly and precisely. You’d have someone who acts first and panics never. You’ll never have to wonder how it’s going. Daily photos and videos come standard, and every stay ends with a personalized touch. I run my own business from home, giving me flexible availability throughout the day. I can accommodate drop-in visits, daily feeding schedules, and extended sitting arrangements. My routine already includes dedicated pet care time morning and evening, so your cat will fit naturally into my day. My home is a cat-friendly environment where my two well-socialized cats live. I’m experienced with managing multi-cat introductions if boarding is needed. For in-home visits, I follow detailed care instructions and send photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. I’m also experienced with administering supplements and monitoring health needs.

“Just got home and our girls were clearly well cared for again by Joanna. We love the pics and videos she sends. It’s so less stressful for everyone involved when our pups get stay at their own home when we travel. Thanks Joanna!”

About: I graduated the vet tech program at Joliet Junior College in 2022 and I am currently working as a veterinary assistant! I have personally had 6 dogs, 2 hamsters, 4 guinea pigs, and 7 cats! I have definitely had the variety of critters, including fish! I am currently available any day during the week besides Wednesdays, at any time! I’d love to be there for your babies when you can’t :) I can crate, clean up dog/cat waste including vomit, walk any animal that needs to be walked, give medications including shots, and provide basic cleaning procedures such as ear cleaning.

“Julianna did an unbelievable job watching our huskies while we were away. She stayed in great touch with daily photos and catered to all their needs. On top of taking such good care of the dogs, she even cleaned up all the extra fur from Aurora shedding so we came home to a clean house. We're so thankful for her help and will absolutely be reaching out to her next time!”

Sean B.

“Katelyn was wonderful! She took excellent care of my pup, sent me regular updates and photos, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a house that was left in great condition. She was reliable, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her!”

Alix A.

“Skyler was awesome! She communicated well and responded quickly. Augie loved playing and spending time with her. We would definitely recommend Skyler and use her again. Thank you!!”

“Renee was awesome. She took care of our 2 dogs at our home while we were away. Our doggies loved her! She’ll be our first one to contact whenever the same situation occurs again. A million thanks to her!”
