“Julie went above and beyond for my dog, Halley. I was recently in town for work and needed someone to walk her. My hotel situation was not ideal for walking dogs, so Julie went out of her way to take care of Halley every single day I needed her. Halley became great friends with her two goldens and she had a wonderful time. I could completely trust Julie, which was a huge relief as it took away any stress I might have had worrying about Halley during the day. Don’t hesitate to contact Julie if you are in need of someone to take care of your pup!!!”


“Melissa has been a lifesaver. She comes over multiple times a week, and takes great care of my dog. Winston warmed up to her very quickly on their first meeting, and on the days when Melissa takes him out for walks, he's always happy and sleeping when I get home from work.”


About: I’ve had dogs in my home since I was 6. During college I got a dog of my own. Since I am in graduate school, he is staying with my boyfriend in Ames. After I was done with undergrad, I babysat many of my old teammates dogs and had great feedback. I have all the necessary skills and tools to care for any dog. I could also schedule a play date with my own dog if wanted! I am also a volunteer at furry friends as a dog walker in my free time. Since I am in my clinical year of PA school, my schedule is not really my own. It is whatever my preceptor is doing. I am normally in clinic from 8-5 Monday through Friday. Prefer a fenced in yard if you have multiple dogs but I have no problem walking them. I have no other preferences at this time.

About: I've had a lot of different pets and I've been relied on to take care of them by family to make sure Walking Feeding Bathing Im currently not working anywhere so my availability is open to all day care for those that are in needs of a pet sitter #petslover I would not be able to pets sit in my home. As for someone else I'll listen to whatever rules they have set in place

About: Starting in 2020, I spent a few years on the road doing a variety of gigs, primarily animal transportation. I got to see the entire country and meet a ton of awesome animals - mostly dogs & puppies, but rabbits, kitties, lizards, too. I have since planted my flag in Galesburg, IL, and am hoping to build up a clientele of regular check-ins here in this area as I build a home for myself off the road. I am happy to book new clients through Rover, but I do most of my gigs through direct booking after the initial sit. Since Rover keeps 20% of a sitter's fee, please consider tipping in full to make up the difference. Upon meeting new clients, I would like to let folks know that it is common courtesy to compensate a potential sitter if they are traveling from out of town for a meet & greet. It is not expected but greatly appreciated to offer to stock the fridge for overnights, especially for longer sits. These are things I have learned from my favorite clients, families that have taught me how to make a happy living caring for their beloved households. Dogsitting is what I do for a living. I don't mind driving out of town for overnight gigs with appropriate compensation. Just ask and let's see what we can set up. For overnights, I like to keep handwritten notes throughout the day and have little photoshoots here and there. I prefer to check in via text at the end of the day w some nice photos and a brief summary of the day's events. My clients enjoy reading the full report when they get home.

About: I am the dog mom to 2 dogs (a pug, a Pomeranian/Chihuahua) and cat mom to 2 lovable cats (Siamese). I am a responsible sitter who will take great care of and love your pets because I understand how much you love them. You will be able to depend on me to take care of their needs and also give them the playful attention that they deserve. I pet sit to supplement my income from my full-time job, as I feel pet sitting is a fun and rewarding way to earn additional income. I have had a childhood dog while I was growing up, and have been a pet owner throughout my adulthood. I've been boarding dogs and doing home visits through Rover for 5 years now. I currently work from home the majority of the time so I will usually be home for the most part during boardings. I am able to fit home visits into my schedule mornings and evenings. I am home most of the time during boardings to watch your pets. I have a spacious yard for exercise and animals are allowed to make themselves at home on furniture, etc.

About: Hi all, my name is Christine. I am an all around animal lover. I have been taking care of dogs since I was a young girl. I have watched neighbor’s pets, family pets, friend’s pets. I had quite a rotation in my old neighborhood. However I moved here and am looking for some new furry friends. I have volunteered at animal shelters and worked for a pet rescue. I am very loyal, honest, and trustworthy. I love being outside so long walks are my specialty, but I’m also good for a great game of fetch. I often prefer animals over people, so any pet of yours will be in good hands. Taking care of animals is truly what I love doing. Non-smoker if that makes a difference.


About: Love, caring and fun!!! My favorite thing to do is go on walks in the fresh air with dogs. I have always had a dog with breeds all over the map. My favorite breed is a husky but still love my Yorkshire terriors. 26 years of dog care. It is a pleasure having a dog to always rely on to make your day great. Your dog will feel super comfortable and you will feel safe having a reliable pet sitter. Dogs really are the best companion to have that brings an instant smile always. Count on me to always keep your dog safe. I hope to ease your mind knowing that your dog will have a good time. Can't wait to meet your fur baby. :)

Any day of the week around the times twelve pm - five pm work best for me! I will walk your fur babies, play with them, even bathe them if needed! Anything You would like, I can do!

About: Experience with caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I have a passion for special needs, sick and elderly pets. While not in class I would love to watch your pet(s) and care for them. I recently moved from Chicago to Macomb to pursue school. I have a love for outdoors! Hiking and enjoying trails is one of my favorite hobbies I would love to include your furry friend on! I am a nurse part time and pre-medicine student. My husband, Carlos, works from home and is an even bigger pet lover than myself! My work schedule is “as needed” meaning I make my own schedule, making me flexible for pet parents! My job is also less than a mile from home making me available almost at all times! I have a very spacious one bedroom apartment. I have been told by HVAC and Xfinity people that it is the nicest, largest, one in Macomb. There are also plenty of parks and trails nearby for when your furry friend is ready to explore. I am a home body most days, but of course when the weather is nice that changes! I love to be outdoors. I work part time, while my husband works from home full time. I make my work schedule and can build it around clients needs. I also work a few minutes away allowing me to be home on breaks if need be! I believe in following the rules the pet parents set! This helps decrease anxiety for the pet! I respect all the rules and expectations set by the pet parent as they are in charge at the end of the day!

About: I had a dog that my family had for 10 years, i’ve walked, fed, played with him daily. As soon as I finish school I plan to get a dog of my own! I have also been responsible for dog sitting for 6 weeks with a 8 month old puppy, and did all routine cares for him. I am a part time patient care technician at UIHC, and I also occasionally nanny. I have an avid love for dogs, and since my family just recently lost ours due to heart disease, I look for any chance I can to get some extra dog love. I have a rather flexible schedule, and would love to help you out. I am a playful, gentle person who understands it takes pups time to warm up to new people. I would ensure the area is safe for the dog to be left alone when I leave.

Christine G.

“Christine has cared for our two dogs, Chance and Sandy, on multiple occasions. In some cases she has cared for them for a full week at a time while we were away. She is always enthusiastic about caring for them. She is responsible and timely and makes sure they get great attention. They can be a little dramatic when we leave them but always get really excited when Christine is there to see them. I would highly recommend her to care for your pups. ”

“AWESOME!! She was very knowledgeable about my dogs medication, even more knowledgeable than me it felt like.

She would check up on us and definitely wasn’t afraid of any blood or needles.”
