“Norma interacted with my cats nicely. They are comfortable with her and she is with them. I can tell she loves animals! She has a positive attitude and is easy to work with. I feel good that I can go out of town and know that my pets are taken care of with a dependable sitter.”
“Kathryn was an incredible caregiver for our fur baby. We were so nervous to leave our new kitten, but she surpassed all of our expectations! She was prompt and reliable. She updated us each day with photos and updates on our baby. She was extremely caring and a true animal lover. I highly recommend this pet sitter. Thank you Kathryn!”
“Linnea was absolutely outstanding! She really made my wife and I very relaxed knowing that she was taking great care of our cats. Linnea always sent great daily information and pictures of our furry boys. I would highly recommend Linnea! We will definitely use her services should the need arise again in the future.”
“Declan is an extremely friendly and reliable sitter! He's great with our new kittens and has been very gracious working with us on short notice with our relatively erratic schedule. Would recommend to anyone in need of a sitter!”
“Hope was great with our cat and we will be using her as our sitter going forward. She was friendly, professional, and took the time to learn about our cat and her specific needs and behaviors. She did her best to make sure that our cat was fed, got the attention that she needed, and she kept our litter box area well cleaned and organized. I would recommend Hope to anyone looking for a compassionate, caring, and reliable pet sitter.”
“Rebecca was a vacation saver! I needed a sitter for my dogs because of a last minute cancellation. Rebecca accepted. My pitties love her and she did very well with them. I am so grateful for Rebecca.”
“Julie was really nice and took good care of my fur babies. My fur babies (cats) hide, so she didn't get to see them very often. I would hire her again.”
“Jennifer was amazing! She was available on short notice and managed our 3 pups brilliantly. We are definitely using her services again!!! Do NOT hesitate to book her!!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. I’ve taken care of our family dogs for their care. I have years of experience in dog walking, feeding, and playing with dogs. I am a lover of all dogs. I am a college student and am free all Summer. I can watch your pets/home any day or time. I have a very flexible schedule. While watching your pets, their safety and well-being are my utmost priority as well as following owner's instructions. I provide a fun and loving companion for your pet while you are away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and horses almost my entire life! I have experience with dogs who struggle with dog aggression, leash problems, diabetes etc. I am very patient and understanding and I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I am self employed so I am able to move my schedule around as needed to accommodate your pet and their personalized schedule. I don’t mind early morning walks as I am up with the sun normally! I am flexible to work with your dog’s current life style, needs, or whatever they may require. I have my own Australian cattle dog who is extremely friendly and willing to accompany your dog if needed or allowed!
About: I'm Nickie, and on top of being an overall animal lover, I've had a number of pets in my life, and worked in the vetmed world for more 10 yrs. I'm firm with pets when necessary, but I'll love them as my own instantly. I believe in taking my time with them, and letting them come to me. In the case of cats, I dont take it personally if they run and hide. (We all know they do everything on their own terms anyway.) I've learned messes happen, and don't shy away from cleaning them up. Should I be invited into your home, I am respectful and courteous. I do everything I can to work with you and your animals' schedules. I mostly work for myself from home, but also work part-time as a special asst ~10hrs/week. Overall, my schedule is quite flexible. As for my own little zoo, I have a female pitbull named Annie B. Nannie, two female kitties named Freddie Spaghetti and Penny Parmesan, and chonky male cat name Kevin Pickles. He's 2 years younger than all my girls, but is bigger and the main bringer of chaos. I have a part time personal asst role about ~10hrs per week in Lake Forest (days vary from week to week), but primarily work for myself from home the rest of the week. These positions allow for a pretty flexible schedule to work within your animal care needs. Should you want something outside what Rover allows you to choose (sometimes odd requests/needs happen), just select what is closest and send me a message to explain. More often than not, we can make it work with a bit of explaination/clarification. I care for your animal family members in your own home and work with them on their terms, and at a pace that feels comfortable to them. I understand messes can happen and nerves can get the better of some, while others instantly want to be my new best friend. I work with patience, kindness, understanding, and respect. I am unable to care for your furlings within my own home at this time, but am happy to go to you.
