About: My family raised Rottweilers growing up at a young age. I eventually had my own American bulldog during college and frequently watch my friend's English Mastiff. I have a unique schedule in which I typically only work every third day, so days off I am more than able to take care of your dog! From long walks to all the cuddles, let me make sure your furry friend is taken care of! I work every third day for 24 hours, so on my days off I am more than able to help pet sit or walk your dog throughout the entire time I am off. I am typically available even on short notice as long as it is a day I am not scheduled to work. I have a large townhouse with plenty of nearby walking trails and forest preserves, as well as a very large sectional for cuddles! Whatever your pet prefers, I can accommodate. From playing with their toys to getting extra treats, your dog will be loved just as if they were my own.

“We were very happy with Sandra taking care of our pet. She was a perfect, kind and efficient pet sitter. I highly recommend Sandra. While away from our fur baby, we felt very comfortable knowing he was being lovingly cared for by Sandra.”

About: I’ve grown up always around animals. Whether they were mine, my grandparents, or a friends. I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and dogs emotionally and physically. I also volunteered to a few animal shelters to learn how to properly take care of both cats and dogs. I normally work midnight until around 2-4 am. So I’m available the rest of the day to take care of your pets. I’m on a rotating shift so essentially I’m available everyday all day for anyone in need for pet care. There’s also times of the month I’m available all week for anyone who plans to take a vacation out of state for a week. I’ll be available to make sure your pets can also relax until you guys come back. In both my home and the client's, I will make sure all of the pets needs are taken care of. Whether that be: entertainment, training, or food.

“Jennifer has been such a great find on Rover. She was so invested in the care with my cat even before the cat sitting started, taking notes , preparing ahead of time . She has such a warm, friendly and kind approach when you meet her , even in our messages prior to the meet and greet . She sent thorough daily reports and 4-5 pictures a day which was so fun to see . I’m very confident in using Jennifer again for Rishi and feel so lucky to have found her !!”

“I chose Lynn for drop in visits the first time I used Rover, she is fantastic! Very prompt in getting back to you and keep you posted. My cat, Taz, met her the first time and immediately liked her, she took such great care of him on my first trip away from Taz, and put me at ease while I was away. I will be a repeat client!”

About: I was the primary caretaker for my beloved West Highland Terrier Piper during her senior years until she passed at 17, this included giving medications and providing dynamic enrichment to help her doggie mind and body. I want to do the same for your precious pet! I am a remote student and part time babysitter, I am unable to have my own dog at the moment so I am always looking for a furry friend to spend study breaks and free time with! Strangers can be scary, so I will always engage with your pets to their comfort level and build trust at safe and respectful pace. This safe and respectful attitude also extends to any other pets in the home, and the space itself.

“This is our first time using Amie. She was AWESOME! She watched our cats, stopping by twice a day for a week. She was diligent about food and water, cleaning litter boxes, and sending photos. More importantly, she took the time to visit and play with Artie (Bert hides). She got on the floor and talked to Artie. She's got my vote. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”

David K.

“Katie was a wonderful sitter for our two dogs. She spent lots of time playing with them during her visits and sent many photos. She was a pleasure to talk with during our meet and greet and we will definitely be inviting her to watch our dogs again.”

About: I have over 3 years of professional experience in working with animals, and i’ve watched family and friends pets for as long as I can remember! I work a full time job at an animal hospital so my schedule can vary, I’m always open to discuss scheduling and time details further depending on the needs of the animal and client! I have one cat at home, my family and I rescued him from a shelter! We aren’t sure how he would do with other animals so it’s just him and he loves it! I will only be offering in home service for clients.

About: Hi, I have loved and adored animals ever since I was a little girl. If your pet needs to be fed, pet, played with, medication, or anything else I gotchya! I am currently working part time and a full time student. I can be available during the week Mondays, occasional Wednesdays, Fridays, and occasional weekends. I have two adorable kitties at home and make sure they are loved, fed, played with, and given lots of treats. Sometimes when they need medicine they will receive it accordingly.

“Sophia was awesome! She took great care of our dog and gave him lots of extra love. She was also able to give him a few extra medications that we didn’t originally anticipate & was a great and quick communicator. Highly recommend and we hope to have Sophia back again for pet care!”
