Pet Sitting Gage Park

About: I have been a dog parent for the last 13 years. I have experience with dogs with disabilities (I live with a three-legged baby, Mabel) and leash-reactive furbabies. As a sitter, I have taken care of all kinds of dogs but prefer a nice temperament if a dog comes to my home so he or she can get along with my own dogs. I am knowledgeable of dog training techniques and are observant of dog behaviors. I work from phone so your dog will rarely be alone. They will have consistent use of the yard throughout the day (under my supervision, never alone) and will have playmates in my two female dogs, Iris and Mabel (both very playful, mid-energy, mild temperament, zero dog/toy/foodnaggression, spayed, up-to-date on all vaccines). I work remotely so I am usually home. My two dogs are super friendly and love to play. I am also able to separate dogs if needed with dog gates while still allowing for all dogs to be comfortable! I love dogs so it is very important to me to provide everything they need while their parents are away. I live with two dogs myself and they are my life, and I will treat your dog in the same way. As a dog mom who has used sitters in the past, I understand the importance of respecting my client's home and only spend time on site as needed to take care of your angel. My goal is to be the person I would trust to take care of my own doggies (and my expectations of sitters are *pretty* high). Lastly, I am very detailed in following rules and care instructions, no matter how irrational your friends tell you they are. My care instructions for my own dogs is 4 pages long; I understand. Please note that the only caveat to the above is if any rules are abusive toward your dog (shock collars, prong collars, hitting, pushing, choking, underfeeding, other); I will not accept the booking.

“Danna was amazing. She took great care of our cats and sent plenty of pictures. We appreciate how reliable she is. While we only have cats, she also loves dogs. Would definitely recommend get to anyone in the area.”

About: Fenced yard front all around. I will be sure your doggo gets playtime and walks to the park. I work from home so I can provide regular supervision and accommodation for any special needs. Currently working from home. I have a routine of a minimum of 3 walks per day with my dog and plenty of outside time in my fully fenced yard. I also make sure there is playtime in additional to treats and other physical needs. I understand that dogs need more than just potty breaks and food and water. I take the time to provide the attention and care that every dog needs. I provide a space for large dogs to be themselves in a safe and secure environment.

About: I am trained as a Certified Veterinary Technician that has given me the skills and knowledge to provide safe, attentive care. I’m better equipped to recognize potential health concerns, handle unexpected situations, and know when a pet may need veterinary attention. I truly love caring for animals and meeting new pets, taking the time to learn their unique personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I currently work part-time at a veterinary clinic four days a week. Your pet must be okay with being alone during normal work hours, but otherwise I can provide plenty of companionship, care, and attention. I do not offer boarding in my home, but I am happy to provide house sitting in your home. I will treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own, leaving everything just as I found it.

“Guillermina was great with my cats. She was able to visit everyday to feed, play and administer supplements. I recommend her for your visits.”

About: I have experience caring for pets of my own, including dogs and cats, and understand how important it is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m familiar with the daily responsibilities of pet care, including feeding, providing attention, keeping their spaces clean, and making sure they feel secure. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to learn each pet’s individual routine and needs. I will treat your pets with the same care and affection I give my own! I’m currently balancing college and part-time work, so my availability varies throughout the week. I’m especially interested in scheduling pet care around my classes and work shifts, with more flexibility on weekends when available. I’m happy to communicate ahead of time to find a schedule that works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine will always be a priority! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, feeding instructions, and any special needs before providing care. In your home, I’ll respect your space while making sure your pet has fresh water, food as instructed, a clean environment, and plenty of attention. I’ll be mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and potential hazards to help keep your pet safe. I also understand the importance of patience and positive reinforcement, allowing pets to feel comfortable at their own pace. I’ll communicate with you throughout the booking and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry family member is in caring hands.

“SO amazing!!!! Gionna is so friendly and such a pleasure to work with. Not only did she take care of everything we needed for our kitty while we were gone but she went above and beyond to accommodate our kitty’s initial shyness and with Gionna’s patience and knowledge of cats, she was able to get her to come out and play/cuddle too!!! Gionna is so great and really helped us to be able to relax and trust our beloved pet was well taken care of while we were gone. Thank you so SO much again for being so awesome Gionna!!!!!!”

“Ella is the best sitter we could of picked for Bambam. We were a little nervous since it was the first time we booked with rover. Definitely a right choice with Ella. She’s such a caring and loving person. She went above and beyond for Bambam. I’m sure Bambam will miss her.”

About: Growing up my family always had multiple pets at once. All the way from different aquariums, to guinea pigs, cats and dogs. I’ve been a proud dog mom to my son bandit for 12 years, i’m 23 now. In my late teens I worked at a pet store for about two years, during that time I accumulated vast knowledge of different types of animal friends. My whole life has been filled of all different types of pet care ! Recently, in July, I moved here from Florida. I’ve been a licensed barber there for two years, and I’m currently in the process of transferring my license to Illinois, which will take a long time. So I currently have open availability. I plan to provide pet care in my clients’ homes, so I can keep their pets comfy in their familiar environment. In doing so, I will make sure to follow their normal feeding, walking, potty, and play routines as closely as possible. I will also make sure they receive plenty of care and supervision just as i would want for my own.

“Sujae is an excellent cat sitter. She came for drop in visits on time and consistently over multiple days. I liked seeing pictures of all the cats and the nice notes she left. She helped me out of a jam when another sitter cancelled my pet sitting while I was already out of town. Rover helped me find Sujae and I’m super happy we found each other! Sujae did a wonderful job for me and my cats. Thanks Sujae!”

About: I have 12 years of hands-on experience caring for my own Chihuahua mix, along with experience caring for pets in family homes while babysitting. I adapt to each pet’s personality, whether that means active engagement or giving them space, while ensuring they feel safe, calm, and well cared for at all times. My background as a teacher’s assistant and current work in healthcare with older adults has strengthened my reliability, patience, and attention to detail. I provide calm, consistent, and attentive care for every pet. I am a fully remote worker and can work from anywhere with a quiet space. I work a daytime healthcare role Monday–Friday (9–5) and a talent agency role evenings and weekends. My work sessions are typically 2–4 hours, allowing for flexible availability and plenty of downtime for pet care. My philosophy is to leave every home better than I found it. I treat each client’s home with respect, secure it properly, allow no visitors, and prioritize the pet’s full care needs—food, water, walks, and medical attention if needed. I’m easy to communicate with and always open to house rules, questions, or concerns.

“We were very happy with Janiyah! They did a great job taking care of all four of our cats while we were away. Janiyah followed all of our directions, shared updates, photos, and videos with us daily, and made sure to check in with us when they had any questions or concerns. They were very caring and affectionate to all our cats, and we really appreciated their services. Our cats were well taken care of, and we would happily book her again!”
