“Michelle is wonderful! Initially I hired her to stay in my house a few days with my 16.5 yr old dog, but unfortunately he passed away before the trip. Michelle helped change our agreement, and she looked in on our cat and house instead. Great communication and I knew my cat and house was in great hands!”
“Thank you Courtney for taking such good care of our kitty. Communication with you was great and we highly recommend you to anyone looking for a cat sitter. We appreciate the pics sent each day. It was very reassuring, particularly since this was the first time we used Rover. Will definitely contact you in the future if the need arises.”
About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs through various experiences. I am responsible and dependable. I have owned dogs my entire life and currently have a 3 year old energetic boxer mix. I trained my own pup from 7 weeks old and attended a 12 week training course with her. Positive tones and patience are key. I love being active and getting outside and can guarantee your dog a happy and active experience! I am a full time teacher! I have summers and other school breaks off. I will be available for dog walking in the afternoons starting May 29th. During the month of June I work summer school but am available for dog walking any time after 1:00 pm. I am looking to help during vacation times and long weekends. For house sitting, I am willing to stay from 7am to 11pm but will not be available for overnights for initial clients. I am available for meet and greets beforehand! I am reliable, dependable, and trustworthy. I will treat your home and animals as I would my own. I have reliable transportation and can be there for your pet several times a day. I love being outdoors and active and would love to walk or run your dog as you see fit. I will send updates including photos and videos to let you know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve always been very passionate in animals. I have taken care of animals since I was 12 years old. I started my own dog treat business when I was 13 year old. I am currently a student at Joliet Junior college. I am looking for a part time job. I will be available during the day and overnight. I have no pets. I currently live with my parents. My mom is allergic to animals so I will not be able to take them to my home.
“I met Julia when she came over for a meet and greet before taking care of my cats for two drop in visits. She is a wonderful, warm young woman with a caring, mature attitude. I knew she would take good care of my darlings and indeed she did.”
“Lauren did an awesome job looking after Toby. She went out of her way to make sure Toby was happy and safe during my trip and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Savanna was great with our two cats for drop in visits, with even our shy cat loving her by the end of the week! She was reliable and excellent with communication. We will pick Savanna next time we need a cat sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Katie is wonderful! She was prompt, communicative, & sent us photos & videos of our cat everyday. Katie did drop-in visits for our cat who needs a pill each morning with breakfast. She was very reliable for keeping our house locked up while we were away. And most importantly, gave our cat lots of love while we were gone. Thanks Katie!”
“April did a wonderful job dropping in our cat. She was very professional, responsible and sent detailed updates as well. We appreciated her doing early morning and late night drop-ins, which helped ease our minds. Even though our cat is shy and sometimes even anti-social, April attempted to play with her and make her feel comfortable. We will definitely use April again and we highly recommend her services.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for 10 years, including dogs, cats, and small animals of all ages and temperaments. My experience ranges from daily walks and overnight care to administering medications and even helping with rescue animals. I’m calm, patient, and reliable—and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust, so I prioritize clear communication and consistency. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or structured care, I’ve got it covered! Let me know what makes your pet happiest, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because spending time with animals is one of the best parts of my day. I’m available weekday evenings and most weekends, with flexible timing to meet your pet’s needs. Whether it’s evening check-ins, dinner feedings, weekend walks, or overnight stays—I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space and the animal with the utmost respect. I follow your instructions closely—from feeding routines and medication schedules to favorite toys and hiding spots—so your pet’s daily rhythm stays consistent. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure before and after every visit, and I always check for any potential hazards like spilled food, open trash, or small items that could be chewed. I keep my visits calm and positive, and I communicate clearly with pet parents. My goal is to create a safe, low-stress environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for—even while you’re away.
“Alyssa was very professional. My shy cat who comes out for no one, came to her when she was there on the first day. She always responded to me very quickly and was always very courteous. Would definitely use her again and recommend her highly.”
“We had left our 2 cats under Kelly’s care when we went on our trip. One of them is under medication. Kelly was very regular in sending us the pics and the daily updates. It’s always nice to have the feeling that someone is there to take care of our pets with the same care we give. Kelly has been great. Even my timid cat went and mingled with her ... which is a big deal!!”
About: I have taken care of animals the majority of my life and they are always a part of my family! I am not sure how to function in everyday life without dogs in my house! Pet care is my top priority and treat them as if they are one of my children! I work around my kids and pets needs! I have a fenced in backyard and pets are never left outside by themselves! Dogs have the run of the house when I am home and when errands need to be done all pets are secured in their own crates.
About: We’ve always had pets growing up so caring for them is second nature to me. We currently have 2 active dogs that love to play. We also have 1 cat in the home, as well as 2 young kids. I love animals of all kinds! Your pup will be well cared for and treated as if they’re our own. I am a stay at home parent and seldom leave for more than 1-2 hours at a time. I am able to be here to give potty breaks whenever they’re needed. We have a fenced in yard with lots of room for the pups to run around and play until their heart is content. Our 2 dogs love to be outside and play with others. Your dog is sure to fit in and get plenty of time playing. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to be here with your dog. We like to spend lots of time playing in the backyard with our pups so your dog will get plenty of play time and attention from me and my family. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs to keep your fur baby happy and content. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“Georgia was wonderful with our two dogs and cat! One of the dogs and the cat are usually very skittish and hide from sitters, but they both came out to interact with Georgia, which says a lot. We received a bunch of pictures and updates. We will definitely use Georgia again!”
“Such a nice family who obviously love animals. My cat Ginger was a little hesitant to leave the safety and familiarity of her carrier once I left. Kelly & Robert gave her space and time to adjust to her new surroundings. I would highly recommend them. I would not hesitate to leave my Ginger with them in the future. She came home a happy cat who enjoyed her mini vacation.”
