Grace was wonderful for our pet. I needed her for an out of town get away! Ariel loved her. Grace was very nice, attentive, and communicative relative to our dogs needs. Thank you Grace! I would highly recommend Grace for your pets needs!

About: Hi there! I am so excited to finally be making my pet-sitting official with Rover. I am still new-ish to the area after having moved back in with my parents a little less than a year ago (originally from New Jersey, then moved to California for college and work). I have had the pleasure of taking care of my family dog (Winnie the Cavapoo) since we got her 9 years ago. Hanging out with her is one of my favorite things to do, and she truly makes each day better with every walk we go on and every cuddle we share. I've also gotten to dog-sit for some of my best friends and locals while I was in college, and it really helped me whenever I was missing my Winnie girl! My only hope is to provide you with peace of mind that your pup is in good hands with me! My schedule is pretty wide open and flexible! If there is a time/day on my schedule that looks unavailable, message me and I'll see if I can move things around to make it work (as I share a car with a family member). If you need me to come over and pet-sit at your home, I will respect all the rules you provide me with so you are comfortable with having me in your home while I watch your fur baby. Please let me know in advance to your booking if your pet is allowed on furniture, or in certain areas of your home, and what/where are absolute no-go's, so I can remember to keep them away from those areas. If you use a crate with them, please let me know how you use it with them - if they must be crated the entirety of time while indoors aside from meal and potty times, or if for certain periods of time. If you have a backyard that is fenced and secure, I am comfortable with letting them of their leash (if you permit it) so they have free reign to run around, but if it is not an enclosed space, I am not comfortable letting them off their leash, even if they are trained perfectly - just want to be safe and take all the precautions I can to make sure they are safe while with me!

Katelyn did a fantastic job. She did a great job with my dog, Morgan, and went the extra mile to make sure she had water in her bowl before leaving. Our dog has a hard time going to the bathroom with new people, but she went both with Katelyn. 5 stars and will book her again :)

Had the opportunity to have Jaime watch my dog overnight after using Jaime as a walker. I can tell you we couldn't be more pleased after having Ernie spend 3 nights at Jaime's house.

Janet is amazing! She has been helping my husband and I while at work for a few months now and our dog, Nico, loves her! My favorite thing is seeing Nico’s Rover Card with updates on how he did on his walk and a few pictures of him.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for the last 7-8 years for my family, friends, and neighbors. They have trusted me with walking, feeding, and overall loving their furry friends! When my family first got our dog in 2020, I assisted in training him and learning how to take care of a puppy. I have also helped to take care of my roommates pet dog and cat in these last few months as well! During the summer of 2024, my dog suddenly went paralyzed and lost function of his back legs. We had to learn how to take care of him and walk him using unconventional ways, while teaching him how to learn to walk again, so I have experience with a dog who has been partially disabled (but he has regained his ability to walk and is doing great!!) I recently graduated from Miami University, Ohio with my masters degree in speech-language pathology. I just moved back to Illinois and am looking to do some dog walking and pet care/love this summer before starting a new job in the schools this upcoming August as a speech-language pathologist. I will adhere to any requests that the client has. I am willing to put them in their crates, give them treats, play with them in the yard, or go for a nice long walk with them. It really comes down to the clients preference and I will stick to their normal routine!!

About: I have always been a dog person. I only have one dog, but I love him with my whole heart. I have been taking care of my neighbors golden retriever on and off for around 5 years now, whenever the owner is away for work. I can work with any size dog, and any breed. I only work part time right now, and for these next two weeks, I am not working at all! I work at a school, so I also get Christmas break off. I start school again in January, but I still will have a decently open schedule. Whatever the client needs, I will do! I am more looking to do drop ins, and walks, but I am more than willing to stay with the pup for a bit and play with them to take some of their energy out.

Fred has been an absolute blessing to our family. Moochy like him immediately and trusted him. She’s usually pretty skittish. Fred was always on time, willing to be flexible if needed, and was just really good with Moochy. I needed someone who was strong to walk mooch because she’s big and strong. Fred had no trouble with it. I had absolute faith in Fred’s ability to handle her. And when Mooch saw his car pull up, she was so happy. I have no trouble recommending Fred to be your dog walker.

About: Hi, I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and overnight pet sitting for friends. I’ve cared for dogs in home settings, taken them on walks and runs, and understand how important it is to keep pets safe, active, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m 25, I have my B.S. in biology, and have a naturally attentive, calm, and responsible approach to animal care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel cared for, exercised, and at ease. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just some extra company and consistency, I’m happy to meet their needs. I recently returned from traveling and currently have very open availability over the next few months before relocating to California, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I'm looking forward to connecting with you and your furry loved ones (: I currently have a very flexible schedule and open availability, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and overnight care throughout the week. I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and for last-minute bookings when needed. My schedule is especially open over the next couple months, so I’m able to be dependable, flexible, and give your pet plenty of time and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I make it a priority to follow each dog’s routine closely so they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, exercise needs, potty breaks, and any specific instructions you provide, and I always make sure pets are supervised, safe, and getting the attention they need. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both your space and your pet’s routine, keeping their environment calm, clean, and familiar. I pay close attention on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure dogs are secure, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. My goal is always to create a safe, dependable, and low-stress experience for both pets and owners.

Hayley was patient with Jillian as she’s gotten older and a bit stubborn on her walks. There was also medication this time and Hayley was great with making sure Jilly was taken care of. Loved all the photos.

About: I have had a long love for animals,growing up with cats and dogs. As an adult we had a beloved German Shepherd mix that was our ring bearer. And we were blessed to have him for 11 years. Now I'm a proud dog mom to 1 terrier mix. I've taken care of dogs, cats and other animals since I was in Middle School for neighbors and friends. I love going on walks and playing fetch. I work part-time at a school so right now I'm off during the summer but during the school year I would be able to work around my schedule and have several days off during the school week to pop in before and after or on my days off. I would love to pop into your house for visiting. I will follow your dogs normal routine. Please let me know how to help your animal feels most comfortable.

About: I’ve grown up taking care of both cats and dogs, including small and large breeds. I currently have a chocolate lab who I walk, feed, and play with every day. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and cats, and I understand the extra patience, attention, and care they may need. I love cats and am comfortable feeding them, changing litter, playing with them, and giving them lots of attention. I’m reliable, caring, and truly enjoy being around animals! I’m home from college until August 10th. I’m available all day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8 AM–6 PM for dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits for both cats and dogs! I’m also available on weekends and am flexible with timing. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and safe. I’m always mindful, respectful, and responsible when caring for pets in someone else’s home. I make sure to keep a clean and safe environment, follow instructions carefully, and handle everything with care. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home, and I’ll always do my best to make both you and your pets feel comfortable and secure.
