Dog Sitting Ellenwood

About: I am a wildlife biologist for the Georgia DNR working for the Urban Wildlife Program. I have years of experience dog-sitting, primarily for large- and medium-sized dogs in the Chicago area. My work schedule is very flexible, allowing me to take my time to care for your critters! A large part of my job is responding to wildlife emergencies using years of experience and best-judgment decision making, which makes for a great pet-sitter. I am a wildlife biologist that works from home in Decatur. My workload is quite low so it is easy to fit pet care into my schedule throughout the week. My flexible schedule affords me ample time to provide proper attention to animals. I have a calm demeanor with strong attention to detail when it comes to care instruction. My experience as a wildlife biologist has trained me how to monitor animals for emergencies and how to be calm in the face of the unknown or unexpected. I am used to following strict research protocol, so following along for the care of your animal will be a breeze.

“Sherry was very communicative about our pets and even noticed that our alarm had an error on it and fixed it. She brought in the mail too. One of our cats prefers to be outside so she didn’t see him but made sure that his food was eaten so she knew he was ok.”

“Destiny was sweet, gave great updates, and took good care of Zara following the care instructions I left. I would absolutely book with her again!”

“First time using Rover so I was nervous but Kamron put me right at ease. He was friendly and listened well to my instructions. My cats warmed up to him right away and one of my cats doesn’t like strangers. His daily notes and photos were great and each day I was away I felt at ease knowing they were in good hands I would highly recommend Kamron.”

About: My preferred name is Leo. I've been caring for animals for most of my life. Growing up, I was responsible for helping care for three family dogs, including feeding, walking, playing with them, and making sure they were happy and well cared for. I also grew up around cats, as my mom had several throughout the years, so I'm very comfortable caring for cats of all ages and personalities. Today, I have a cat of my own, so I understand the daily responsibility and attention that pets need. I'm patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, companionship, or simply someone to keep them safe and comfortable while you're away, I'll treat them with the same love and care I give my own pets. My schedule is very flexible, and I'm available seven days a week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. I work on my own schedule, so I can usually accommodate last-minute bookings as well. Whether you need someone for a quick check-in, daily visits, overnight care, or extended pet sitting, I'll do my best to be there whenever you need reliable care for your pet. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I keep my home clean, organized, and pet-friendly. I currently care for my own cat, who is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and well loved. I make sure all of my houseplants are non-toxic to pets, keep anything potentially dangerous out of reach, and provide plenty of toys, enrichment, and a cat tree for play and relaxation. I'm attentive to each pet's individual needs and always make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean space, exercise, affection, and plenty of attention. I also have experience helping cats socialize through supervised playdates with friends' cats, so I understand how to create a calm, safe, and positive environment. I'll care for your pet with the same love and attention I give my own.

“Jessica has become our go to for watching our 3 dogs. She is so attentive and caring. We always have peace of mind when she is watching the dogs!”

They’ll also have the chance to run and explore in my spacious, private 6ft fenced yard, with a handy doggy door for easy in-and-out access whenever they want! I provide constant fresh water, and they can interact and socialize with other dogs, having a blast during their stay. Plus, they'll sleep comfortably in a cool, air-conditioned environment. Your pup will be well taken care of and have a fantastic time here! Retired, available all day, full-time, seven days a week now. I’m available weekends holidays, day and/ or night. There is an extra charge if you want to drop off before 8 AM. I prefer drop off the night before and pick or pick up the next day. I treat all furbabies that enter my home like they’re my children each individual. I get to know their personality and judge them accordingly I’d like to get down on their level and connect with them to eye each dog has its own personality.

About: I believe we all have spirit animals in our souls and providing care for our companions which will serve us purpose in our next afterlife. I want to fit it into my weekly routine, my part-time schedule at lowes makes my week free for graphic design and quality pet bonding. Playing with toys, going outside, making sure they receive their medications, making sure cats or dogs receive their meals, groom them as much as needed.

“Benjamin was absolutely wonderful with Blu and Puddin! From the very first message he was communicative, professional, and genuinely caring. It's not easy finding someone you can trust with a high-energy Husky AND a 13-year-old teacup Yorkie, but Ben handled both of them with ease. He followed all of our care instructions perfectly and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Puddin can be a delicate little lady and Blu keeps you on your toes, but Ben took it all in stride. We came home to two happy, well cared for pups and that says everything. We will definitely be booking with Ben again; highly recommend! 🐾”

About: Hi! My name is Tyson, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. Growing up with pets taught me early on how important patience, consistency, and love are when caring for animals. I currently work in childcare as a nanny and babysitter, and many of the families I work with also trust me with the care of their dogs inside their homes. Over the past seven years, I’ve gained experience caring for other people’s pets, including walking, feeding, bathing, nail trimming, and general grooming support. I also have my own Cane Corso at home, so I’m very comfortable handling large and strong breeds. Because of this, I’m confident managing leash pullers on walks and working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I pay close attention to dog body language and always aim to create a calm, safe, and fun environment for every pet in my care. I’m an active person and love engaging with dogs through walks, playtime, and enrichment so they stay happy and stimulated. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and has a great time while you’re away. I do childcare as far as being a nanny from 2:40 pm to 6 PM Monday through Friday so I am available anytime before or after that time. And I am available all weekend long. When caring for pets, my main priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for just like they would with their owner. In a client’s home, I respect their routine as closely as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions to help the pet stay relaxed in their familiar environment. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection while you’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, supervised environment where they can relax and stay active. I have experience handling dogs of all sizes, including large breeds, and I make sure every dog gets proper exercise, structured walks, and positive interaction. I always pay close attention to body language and behavior to ensure all pets are comfortable and stress-free. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident that their pet is happy and in good hands.

When it comes to sitting for other I treat them with the same patience and care as I do with my own My schedule is fairly open, since I am a jeweler and afterschool arts and crafts teacher, so my mornings and evenings are very flexible durning the week. Weekends are on the busier side but let me know a week and a half in advance and I can make the time Being an artist I am very much about the details, I love to know your pets eating routines/schedule, medication(if applicable), how long of a walk to go for, their favorite toy, and type of play. I am also very vigilant to ensure safety for your pet the way I would my own.

About: I have a husky mix and a German shepard, two tuxedo cats and one orange cat. I have always lived with pets and make sure to take the upmost care of them. I am a full time student. I take some classes online so I am pretty much home as much as possible. Gives me a ton of time for walks and play time. My care depends on the pet. Each pet needs are different. My German Shepard demands to play fetch 10 times a hour. My tux cat wants pets 2 times a day ish. I pay attention to each pet so they get the care they want/need.

About: I have experience caring for pets with different needs, personalities, and energy levels. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn what makes yours feel safe and happy. What sets me apart is the personal care I give… your pet gets the same love, respect, and attention I would give my own. I’ll be starting school in August and i have a night job with 2 off days. I would be able to work any day in the morning to mid-day. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I take time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality so they feel comfortable and secure. In both my home and the client’s home, I focus on keeping things calm, clean, and familiar making sure they get love, exercise, meals on time, and lots of attention.

About: Since i was younger I’ve always loved dogs. Whether my own or volunteering at a shelter my passion has always been animals <3 When i heard about Rover i was ecstatic. Having the chance to meet more fur babies , getting to know each personality, and learning more everyday is something i am looking forward to. I do work full time but an early morning shift (4am-12pm) I have the rest of my day, why not fill it doing something i love? Which is pet care! I take pride in animals and often feel as though i can connect with them better than humans! Other than working in the morning my day is free! I live in an apartment which does not have a yard, but there is a park less than a 2 minute walk from where i stay! My neighborhood is dog friendly and does require leashes on every dog! I can crate your dog if needed, and make adjustments as requested.
