About: I've lived with cats for most of my life, and I have experience sitting for both senior dogs and puppies! I'm comfortable around dogs of any size and can handle most medications and messes, provided some instruction. In case it's relevant, I also have some limited experience with a variety of other animals, ranging from birds and mice to horses and rabbits! I'm currently waiting for the growing season to start up again (I'm an environmental technician), so I have plenty of free time during the week to spend helping out with pet care. I have a rather skittish kitty of my own, so I can't board any animals, but I'm happy to come visit others. So long as the information is provided, I'm happy to help feed, play with, clean up after, and help give medications to your furry family members as needed.
About: I’ve taken care of small and large dogs before. I’ve dealt with dogs with trauma. I’m prepared to walk in rain when needed. I can also handle medication management. I’m currently working full-time remote two days a week. I’m in decent shape to walk for longer periods during my one-hour lunch break and after work at 4 pm. I’m friendly and open to a variety of pets. Though I don’t have any pets of my own, I’ll take care yours like they are mine. I’ve been trusted to care for pets for long periods. I have managed medication, special diets and walking several times a day.
“Thank you so much Christopher. I can totally picture the excitement they must of had when they saw you. They're good boys with a lot of love and energy. I'm glad they could share some with you. They'll be happy to see you again in the future. Have a great weekend.”
“Lindsey was wonderful! She was very friendly and professional, and established a great rapport with the kitties right off the bat. Right away I felt perfectly confident that I was leaving them in good hands, and she did not disappoint. I will definitely be using her services again!”
“This is the second time I have had Brittany take care of the cat clan here, and once again she did a great job! It is reassuring to receive her msgs and photos while away. I know the cats are well taken care of. I will definitely book her again.”
“Jamie and her husband Ryan are amazing dog parents! They were very sweet and caring with our boy. He even got a homemade scarf to take home! We can't wait to bring our pup back for another stay ?”
“This is our second time using Danielle and I missed writing a review last time. She has always been very accommodating and the dogs enjoy her. We get lots of pictures and know our fur-babies are loved. She’s also great if you have medications. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for my whole life I have always had a dog and I love them as if they are my own children! Your dogs will be in great hands I am currently back home from San Diego and am planning on staying in Illinois for a while and I want to make a living helping animals. I don’t have a full time job at the moment so I have all the time in the world. I have a car that I can get anywhere with ease at anytime. I am comfortable with all types of dogs and different attitudes. I have owned dogs my whole life so I am very experienced.
“Marisa was great. It's our first time using Rover and she was wonderful. She came to meet our dogs in advance and answer any questions. She was on time when the actual day came and took good care of the dogs w feeding and pottying. We feel better knowing we have her services in the future.”
“Miranda - thank you so much! You did an incredible job and took wonderful care of the our dogs. Thank you for the constant communications and updates. So thankful for you.”
“Sam is such a blessing! We were stressed due to last minute changes while leaving for an international trip! A friend told us about Rover so we decided to try it. Sam responded right away and met with us prior to us leaving. She gave us so much peace in our heart for our kitty and took time to learn about her needs. Thanks so much again Sam.”
“Mallory was wonderful, we booked her to drop in on our 2 cats for 2 weeks. Every day she fed and watered them, emptied the litterbox, gave them some love and treats! It saved us so much stress knowing she was watching them!”
“I was so glad that Stephanie was able to come over on short notice to do a Drop-In visit with Rosie. I sent her a whole lot of details all at once and she assured me that everything would be fine. she was right. She sent me several photos of Rosie looking so happy which made me feel so good. :) Thank you, Stephanie!”
“Toni always goes above and beyond with our cats! We have a shy cat and by her second time having come to visit, the shy girl was willing to make herself known. That speaks volumes about Toni’s soul. Such a good person. We can’t wait for her to visit again!”
“Brookelynn was super nice! She took on a drop in visit last minute and made sure my fur baby was well taken care of! She was also very responsive and kept me in the loop every step of the way!”

Sam was absolutely wonderful! We had her come by 3 times for drop in visits for breakfast & walks. The dogs seem to do great with her & I always felt comfortable + worry free when she was there! Sam was very communicative and patient, especially when we were having technical difficulties with the door. I would highly recommend Sam to anyone & everyone! Thank you Sam for taking such great care of our girls!
