“I highly recommend Taylor! Not only is she reliable and quick to respond, she is super accommodating to changes as our pups grow.

“Jessica was great! Scheduled 4 visits and she was prompt for each visit and spent a good amount of time with our 3 dogs. Gave plenty of attention to our senior dog and all dogs were very comfortable with her.”
About: I've had a dog for nearly 14 years and have always been well acquainted with animals. Over the past few years I've also animal sat for many family and friends. Looking after dogs, cats, and even a rabbit. I'm currently a student at Kishwaukee College and looking for part-time work over the summer to pair up with my internship. My schedule is pretty flexible so pet care is an easy way to work. I'm well aware of how cats and dogs try to bolt through the door when it's opened, or knock food bowls out of your hands, and all of their own unique personalities. So I am prepared to work with pets and owners to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible.
“Kamron was a wonderful sitter. We needed a sitter last minute after our other one never showed up, and she was more than willing to step up! Our dog Lyric loved being with her too, as she was really attentive to him. She also gave us great updates, eliminating any doubts or worries we had! <3”
“Emily was great! She followed our directions and was very easy to work with. She also cleaned up a hairball and we really appreciated that. We would absolutely work with her again.”
About: Dogs are my absolute favorite creatures on earth. I have almost 40 years experience with dogs. I have owned dogs, trained dogs, helped deliver puppies and most importantly loved & spoiled dogs. I currently have a 6 year old little girl Montana that I helped deliver. She is my whole heart. I have a flexible work schedule allowing me to be available for dog walks when needed. I am available every day of the week and on holidays. I am just joining Rover and look forward to building trust & getting regular clients. Fur babies rely on us to take care of them. My babies are loved, spoiled, played with and talked to every day. Yours will be too while in my care. I also have 4 Granddogs that I care for when needed. Gramma spoils them when their Mommy & Daddy are away. I love taking dogs on walks. It's the equivalent of taking children to the playground. Their happiness makes me happy.
“Alyssa was a great help watching my senior cat, Luna, over the Christmas holiday. She was attentive and professional and tended to all of Luna’s needs. And gave Luna great company while I was away! I would definitely recommend Alyssa’s services.”
“Rae’Na is the best there is! She takes wonderful care of our puppy during drop in visits. She is always very attentive, detail orientated, and professional. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“I hired Melanie for 1 hour per day for a week while we were out of town and our son was working during the day. I was attracted to her profile and the fact that she lived nearby. We have a 90 lb doberman, so I needed someone who would be active with her as she needs lots of exercise. Melanie fit the bill! She came over a few times so she and Kai could become comfortable with each other, and we left town with little concern. Melanie gave Kai all the required attention And sent me videos and pics of the walks/runs and play each day. From what I could see and her daily logs, Melanie looked as forward to seeing Kai as Kai was to see her. I would 100% have Melanie back the next time we are out of town.”
About: I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, love, and lots of play! What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a gentler touch. Hi! I’m a part-time worker at an pharmacy and nursing student at NIU with a flexible schedule and a big heart for animals. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine, and I truly enjoy spending time with pets, it’s a fun and relaxing break from school and work. I’m reliable, responsible, and bring the same care and attention to animals as I do in my nursing studies. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle session, or just keeping them company while you’re away, your pets will be in loving hands! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will try to stick closely to their usual routine feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I will make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and stress free while you’re away. I always keep things clean, stay respectful of your space, and give your pet the attention they need to feel comfortable. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, or just quiet company, I adapt to their needs and personality to ensure they’re happy and well cared for.
“Kellie handled our four senior kitties with ease. Came home to everything in its place and clean. She even got our kitty Koona to finish her meals (she had been not eating for a day before we left). I could tell by the pics the kitties were happy. Thank you Kellie!”
“Ivy did a great job taking care of our 3 cats. She played with them and gave them food and treats every day. She also took the initiative to cover up furniture that was getting scratched. She was also willing to accommodate special requests.”
About: I absolutely love dogs. I’ve always had dogs growing up and love to take care of them. I am very loving and can get along with any dog. I have dog sat for numerous friends and family members and never had any issues. Your dog will love me as much as I’ll love it. I am currently a student athlete right now. Anytime after 12 pm is a good time for me. I can definitely dog walk but can also drop in, feed, and take of dog as need be.

About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, lizards (and even hedgehogs for a couple years!) since I was 10 years old. I love all pets and am happy to go out and play or sit and relax, all depending on the pet’s needs. I have administered medication to senior cats, middle-aged to senior dogs, and lizards. I do not mind helping to clean your house if there are any accidents or messes made while I am there! I am looking for a summer job as I have a couple smaller, less frequent opportunities throughout the summer. I am going to do my masters at NIU in the fall, so I will be in the area for a while! I would love to get out and do lots of walks to enjoy the summer weather. I have two cats at home that get played with daily and enjoy relaxing with me at the end of the day. Because my cats will eat anything and everything, I am very aware of what is left out in my house as well as other spaces. I am happy to clean up any messes or accidents made while I am at your home and make sure everything is the same or better than you left it for an overnight stay. I have pet sit for many friends and family and have had no complaints! I will make sure to take pictures of your pet so you know they are happy and safe, it’s what I would want from anyone who takes care of my cats!
About: My neighbors and friends have relied on my to take their dogs out for walks and cat sitting since I was in elementary school. I have cared for and owned dogs, cats, and reptiles including a special needs one and am confident I can follow every routine your pet has. I am currently working as a teacher so I will be free all day during the weekends or can additionally do evenings as well during the week! I am stronger than I look so I can handle any size dog and can keep a hold of a leash and keep your pet away from danger.
About: I have always been an animal lover! Growing up, I had a “zoo” of my own full of all kinds of animals! I have been taking care of pets for neighbors and friends for 5 years now. While I am away at college, I found myself missing my animals I do not get to see everyday day. I figured bringing my love and care for animals to others will fulfill that void in me! I am a CNA at a nursing home near by, I switch off day shift and night shift, as long as working part time! I also enjoy going for walks, and could use the company for my morning and evening walks. In a clients home, I want the animal to feel as safe and comfortable as possible; by sticking to the consistent routine they are familiar with!

“Christy has worked in customer service for many years and prides herself in making sure that her customers needs are met and that they are treated with respect. Christy and her dog visited me in California and I was able to see first hand how her dog's health and happiness are a big part of her life. When Christy is out in public if she runs into someone with their dogs she always asks if she can pet them. If the owner says yes she loves on each dog as if they were her own. Christy works very well with people as well as animals. She loves all animals not just dogs and I believe she would make an awesome pet sitter or dog walker for anyone.”
