From the time Brandi agreed to house sit our pet Labrador, she asked us questions how best to take care of Sandy. Brandi quickly answered any questions or concerns of our own, since this was our first time using Rover. While we were away, there was updates and pictures sent to us which was reassuring that everything's going well and that we chose the right person. Brandi is excellent at what she does and we hope she'll watch our Sandy again for us!

Beth did a great job caring for my 2 dogs and cat, as well as my friends dog who is large and very exuberant. She sent us great pictures frequently which made our day when we were away. We came home to the house looking great and well cared for. I would highly recommend Beth for any future fur-baby care!

About: Hi, I’m Zee, a reliable and compassionate pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all kinds. With several years of experience caring for dogs, cats, I treat every pet as family—because I know that’s what they are to you. My background as a 911 dispatcher has trained me to stay calm, focused, and dependable in any situation, and I bring that same sense of responsibility to caring for your pets. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, medication routines, or just keeping them company while you’re away, I make sure your furry friends feel safe, happy, and loved in their own home. I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m committed to earning that trust every time. I work a rotating night schedule which is only half of the month. My schedule is flexible and I am open to working around your fur baby’s needs! I care for your pets the same way I would my own, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. I take the time to understand their routines, preferences, and personalities so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, medications, or just quiet companionship, I provide calm, consistent care that keeps their tails wagging and whiskers twitching.

Abigail was an amazing dog sitter for our little rescue dog. He can be a tricky one with lots of separation anxiety, but Abigail was such a great support and comfort to him. She was very communicative and tried everything she could to make sure he was happy and healthy. She went above and beyond and we are so thankful to have had her as our sitter!

About: I have 14 years Veterinary experience with pet care, including medication and fluid administration, light grooming, post op care, and senior care. I know and am able to recognize signs of distress, medical emergencies, and changes in behavior which is vital to any Pet Care Professional providing services for your family member. I make it a point to document and monitor pets thoroughly and keep constant communication for owners peace of mind. Your pet's health, safety and happiness is my top priority and putting your furry family member first I own my own business specifically tailored to providing the best care for your pets, equines, and livestock. I am available 7 days a week and at a minimum try to book out at least a week in advance aside from my weekly clients that i see regularly, however I also work Monday through Friday from 830am-430pm I believe it is important to care for your family member in a stress free environment, and because of that i do not offer services in my home but instead i travel to you and provide services to your family member in their home where they are most comfortable and at ease.

About: I have always been around animals my whole life. I got my first dog at 11, and he’s still around and is the love of my life. I’m currently enrolled in college and only working part time, so I’m looking to see if I can help others out like how they’ve helped me. I will feed your pets, take them out or let them use the restroom, I will love and give them as much attention as possible.

About: Hey everyone I'm Ella and I've always had a house hold full of pets. Growing up my parents allowed a wide variety of animals to stay in our home. I love animals so much that I'm going in to a career field that is dedicated solely on the help of marine organisms. I currently live with a dog, cat, bearded dragon, leopard gecko and a ton of fish. So basically I can care for any pet needed. I work part time so I have a ton of free time on my hands. I’m trying to find better ways to spend my time rather than always going out. Hanging with any pet is always so fun and usually a better time then going out to begin with! Each pets different, all come with special likes and dislikes. I usually love to take dogs for walks but some may not be able to walk, and in those situations I like to do mind puzzles. For pet sitting I’d come over to the clients home and spend a few hours with them unless it’s a sleep away care. Pet walks would last min 30 minutes just to give the dogs some fresh air longer than normally done during days.

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since i started volunteering at the animal hospital in freeport il. I started doing that when i was ten years old. I have attended just under two years of schooling towards being a zoologist in the past as well. I started fostering with my grandma when i was 14, and I have successfully adopted out 12 pit bulls that would have been put to sleep :) I have pet sit since i was old enough to babysit kids, my grandparents on my dads side were missionaries and would always have me take care of their three cats Lucy,linus, and peanut. I have also helped Noah's ark and Winnebago country with fostering off and on for many years (20 ). I look forward to snuggling your pooch! I work for myself, and can usually be be available almost anytime you need me to be. I am a very responsible and responsive person. I have a fenced yard, harnessed leads and two smooshy olde English bulldogs to keep your fur baby company. I also have cats they can play with , my cats aren't scared of dogs.
