About: I’ve grown up with animals. I love people who love animals! I enjoy giving ear scratches, tummy rubs and nose boops. We are a military family, with 3 furry friends. Let’s connect and hopefully you can find trust in myself with your most precious pets! I’m currently working part time. I have a flexible schedule as far as what services you may need. I’m open most weekends and week days. I can watch in your home or mine or stop by to take your dog out for the day! I have a fenced yard and a friendly husky. We are big on parks, walking and fetch. Big or small, I don’t mind at all!
About: Both of my parents are veterinarians, so I’ve grown up around animals all my life! I have basic animal care skills (walks, feeding, playing) and the extra ones too (animal body language, toxic vs nontoxic foods/materials, giving medication)! I have two cats myself, and have taken care of family and friends’ dogs for years. I’m currently working part time and have a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to play with and visit your pets! I prioritize safety for your pet! I understand that I will be someone unfamiliar coming to the home, and will make sure to let your pet lead the way in our interactions.
About: I grew up with a lot of pets and have done pet sitting and dog walking for the last 4 years. I have several regular families that I pet sit for and do regular dog walking. I am currently doing online classes to finish my college degree. I have a lot of free time to myself and can travel anywhere in the city to take care of your dogs. I take particular care to follow instructions for your dog, making sure to walk them and feed them at the right time. I also make sure your home is clean and well kept after I leave.
About: My love of animals allows me to create a personalized and enriching environment for every furry friend under my care.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and size's. Friends, neighbors, and family often rely on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with senior dogs, energetic puppies, and pets with special routines. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight care, I always treat every pet like my own. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide morning, midday, and evening visits during the week. Weekends are open for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I’m responsible, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands.

About: Something that sets me apart is that I’m a dog trainer, actively pursuing to achieve certification for professional dog trainer. I participate regularly with dog training and actively see a dog training mentor weekly. I have loved dogs since I was very little. I do a pretty good job at reading their body language and how to anticipate their next moves.I’m able to reduce the anxiety a dog might have being away from you and with a new person. I use positive reinforcement by being gentle and firm and I try to be fun and playful with the dog or puppy. I have two dogs. I actively take them out, I feed them every morning and night. I bathe when they need it. I walk them and take them to dog classes or improve any behavior issues they might have or come across. Apart from my dogs, I participle imagine dog training classes as a student and to demonstrate dog training techniques. Such as: Sitting, downing, standing, staying and walking nicely in lead, etc. Maintaining owners schedule such as feeding, walking, medications, etc. Ensuring the cleanliness of the dog and dog waste in the yard or other properties. I will actively play with the dogs to tire them out and do what I can to ensure the health and enjoyment of the dog.
About: I have experience doing in-home dog sitting, including administering supplements and medication (mixed in with food/pill pockets), feeding specialty diets, and playing with them. I recently moved to Chicago and am currently looking for employment. I love (and have always loved) animals, I have experience caring for and playing with them, and I would like to be able to meet many more! I am available for sitting 7 days a week, primarily between the hours of 12:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.; this does vary depending on the day of the week, however, and I am also willing to negotiate times outside of these hours. I will listen to what you tell me about your pet, and respond to your pet's reaction(s) to me accordingly. I will give them attention and pets and scritches if that is what is wanted; I will be unobtrusive and give them all the space they need, if that is what is wanted. I fall in love with every dog and every cat that I meet, and I would be honored to be able to care for your furbaby. Regarding your home, I will respect your space and the rules that you set. I will remove my shoes if that is what is asked of me; I will clean up after your pet and myself (i.e., throwing away/recycling any food cans, etc.); I will only enter the rooms that you permit me to, and I will not look at, let alone touch, anything other than what is required for me to care for your pet.

“Kayleigh was SO good with our cats! She made sure they both had all their needs attended to and played with them so they didn’t get bored or lonely while we were away. One of our cats is skittish and he took to her really quickly. Our other cat is a SLOW eater but she made sure he was getting enough nutrition. Such a wonderful sitter!”

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Glencoe choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
