Pet Sitting in Fairview Heights

“Starr is AMAZING! My small dog doesn’t do well boarding so I had her drop in, and her detailed reports (with plenty of photos!) helped ease my mind. He seemed to be having a great time with her! She also accommodated several schedule changes on short notice. Would highly recommend!”

“Ashley is excellent!! She is super communicative and easy to work with. She knows dog behavior/signals and always writes great notes after her drop-ins. It's a relief to know our pups have a reliable buddy to check in on them! Absolutely would recommend booking with Ashley. :)”

“Lark has been incredible! She pays such close attention to my dog and has built a wonderful relationship with her. Lark has gone above and beyond for my pup and I feel very comfortable knowing she is walking and taking care of my dog while I am at work. Lark communicates with me quite a bit about my pup so I always know what’s going on. Knowing your dog is being well taken care of is worth a lot to me, and I do not have to worry about Tillie at all when she is with Lark!”

“Mal did a great job taking care of our four cats! She was responsive, spent extra time there, was able to give our fiesty cat her medication, and went above and beyond keeping everything clean and giving us updates! We will definitely book with her again!”

About: Hi, I’m Amaya! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and truly love caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds, and I love teaching them tricks, going on walks, and making sure they feel safe and loved. I also have years of experience working at a pet boarding facility and volunteering at our local animal shelter, so I’m confident handling dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether it’s snuggles, playtime, or structured care, your pets will be treated like family with me! I work part-time at a restaurant, so my shifts aren’t the same every week. But no worries—I update my Rover calendar regularly, and I’m great at swapping shifts last-minute if I can. Just let me know your dates and I’ll make room for your pets! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I currently live with three cats and three dogs, so I don’t offer boarding or in-home pet care at this time to ensure a calm, controlled environment for everyone. However, I’m more than happy to provide drop-in visits and walks, and I take great care to follow your instructions, routines, and preferences exactly as you leave them. I always treat pets and their spaces with the same respect I give my own. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick potty break or taking your pup for a walk, I’m committed to creating a safe, loving experience every time.

“Super helpful and accommodating! Takes great care of two special-needs cats, and always keeps us up to date on their activities and well-being.”

About: I am a huge animal lover, I have 4 dogs of my own. I also volunteer/foster for a local animal shelter. I have recently had to use Rover to find pet care for my dogs so I know how important it is for you to feel comfortable with who is watching them! Dogs who stay with me will have access to their own room where they can relax if they choose. My dogs are friendly and they love to play so there is that option as well. I am willing to accommodate your pets needs! Whatever makes them happy! 🤗 I have also had all manner of small animals - bunnies, chinchillas, gerbils, guinea pigs, snakes, turtles, fish, etc. If you need care for your exotic animals please send me a message! I work a full time job 8 hours during the day. Otherwise I will be home to care for your dog! I also work close to home so I can check on pets throughout the day if necessary. I have a fenced in backyard. Your pet will get time outside and also plenty of one on one time. They will have their own room. I have my own dogs so if they want to play they can or if they prefer to be chill I can accommodate that as well.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life. You can rest assured your pups, big and small, will get all the love and attention while you’re away. I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday, but have three pups of my own at home and can board additional pups overnight during the week and can do daytime walks on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and keep your pets separated from my household pets unless they are long-time visitors and we know everyone gets along well.

“Rachel was so sweet and kind. She seems very reliable and made me feel very comfortable knowing Karma would be taken of with her. Will definitely reach out again ❤️🐾❤️”

About: Hi, I’m Olivia! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and can’t imagine it any other way. I grew up with both cats and extra-large dog breeds like Newfoundlands and Labs, and now I share my life with two of my own—a sweet GS/Heeler mix named Cinder ❤️ and a lovable cat who keeps us both in check. I’ve been pet sitting since middle school, and I’m the go-to pet person for friends and coworkers. I’m also a passionate animal advocate, and I always aim to treat every pet like they’re my own. Currently, I offer dog walking and drop-in visits. Whether your pup needs an energy-burning walk or your cat just needs some company and a clean litter box, I’m happy to help! I genuinely enjoy being outdoors and connecting with animals of all kinds. I have experience with: • Large and giant breed dogs (Labs, Newfoundlands, German Shepherds, etc.) • Reactive dogs and leash-sensitive pups • Senior pets, medication routines, and special care needs • Cats, including shy or picky personalities Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a long walk, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for. ⸻ Helpful Info to Share With Me To give your pet the best care possible, please let me know: • Any medical conditions or physical limitations • Behavioral quirks (especially on walks or with new people) • Triggers, fears, or specific routines that help them feel safe Thanks so much—I’d love the chance to meet your furry family member! 🐾 Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily and weekly routine. Every day, I dedicate time to feeding, exercising, and playing with pets to keep them happy and healthy. I also set aside regular blocks of time for grooming, administering medications if needed, and giving lots of attention and affection. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I make sure to create a consistent, caring environment that meets each pet’s unique needs. When I provide walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort above all else. During walks, I keep pets securely leashed and stay aware of their surroundings to avoid any hazards. For drop-in visits, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain a familiar and calm environment, making sure pets get the care, attention, and companionship they need while their family is away. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me, so I communicate openly and respect each pet’s individual personality and needs.

About: I have been volunteering for my local Humane Society for the past year which intakes all different dog breeds and has allowed me to gain great experience with caring for dogs. I’m a proud dog and cat owner and will care for your animals as I do my own. You can guarantee my love and care for your pets. I am currently in between school programs so I have a lot of spare time. I am looking for a job that I can set my own schedule which is why pet care is a great fit for me. I have cared for my extended family’s animals in their homes over the last couple years. I have experience with supplying medications and diabetic shots to dogs. I will always watch out for your animal’s safety and ensure they are getting enough playtime.

About: I have experience with animals of all different sizes, ages and temperaments. I am new to Rover but definitely not new to taking care of animals. I have been fostering cats and dogs for years through MEHS, BAHS and stray rescue STL. Can provide proof if needed. I recently adopted one of my beautiful foster babies (Lilo). She is the only dog I have currently and is only 5 months old and very friendly with anyone and everything. I do have a 9 year old (Simba) and 6 month old (Charlie) cat, as well as a turtle (Peanut) I have had for 5 years. All of my animals are spayed/neutered. They are all allowed to enjoy the furniture just as much as I am. I would love to give your animals all the love and care while you are away. I am currently in college, so in my free time, I am usually home studying and cuddling up with my fur babies on the couch. I work part-time nights so I usually go in late while the animals are asleep so I am able to spend the day taking care of our pets. I make sure to feed them, give them a nice fresh bowl of clean water. Spoil them with a treat or two. Give them some love and affection, let them out to use the restroom and walk them if that is something you'd like me to do as well, as i know all animals have different needs and some need more exercise than others. If they are on a special diet or need any special care, just let me know as I am quite the note taker and can absolutely meet those needs for you.
