Pet Sitting in Glover

“Melissa was absolutely awesome with our guy; he has some separation anxiety so we were nervous to leave him alone for a full day trip; Melissa visited him twice and followed his care instructions perfectly! She was kind courteous and attentive to detail. She was quick to provide updates and comforting for our pup - he was a good sleepy boy when we got home. We’ll definitely book with her again!”

“This is now David’s second booking I’ve used with him for my cat, Simon. He’s very communicative and provides lots of pictures. I will be booking again in the future!”

“Thank you for your help with Hunter and Jade, you were great!”

About: I have had both dogs and cats my entire life and don't want to be without them ! My Husky Sharpei mix, Lily passed away in 2021 after 16 years of a long healthy life. It was a hard loss, so I started spending time with other people's pets and decided to turn it into a career. Through the years of petsitting i have learned alot about different animal personalities and i have gained experience with different levels of care. Some of the pets i have watched suffered from high separation anxiety, and have special needs. I have experience giving diabetic shots, administering oral medication, and topical oitments on cats and dogs. I have experience with extended stays, my longest so far being a month. I also have experience watching multiple dogs and cats. I have watched reactive dogs in the past and I am comfortable doing so if i know their triggers. I’m currently offering full time pet care, so I will have open availability to take care of your pets (: I am also willing to travel within a 40 mile radius to pet sit. Once your gone I pretty much resume your role, while pet care is a priority I still clean up after myself so you won't have to worry about coming into a messy home. Cats and dogs love to cuddle with me on the couch, so they will get plenty of attention hanging out with me.

“Mabray is really good with our needy cats. She took initiative to create fun playtime for our cats and made sure they are well taken care of. I will definitely book her again for kur next trip”

“China did a great job with our kids while we were gone! They got lots of love and attention, and the dogs got plenty of exercise from walks and playtime. She was also very detailed in her report cards and kept us updated on how they were each day. We would definitely recommend her!”

Joseph C.

“I truly appreciated Katie to take care of my kitties when I was away. She loves my cats and my cats love her. They get along well at greet- meet section to understand my cats' habbits. I highly recommend Katie for taking care of your lovely pets when you are away. Thank you so much, Katie. Thank for the kitties' portraits in my kitchen. You are gifted and talented with arts and caring pets. Wish you all the best.”

About: I have worked multiple jobs revolving around animals, including vet clinics, so I have experience handling many pets. I have watched more difficult pets, and I’ll do anything to ensure your fur baby is as comfortable and happy as possible in my care. I recently graduated from the University of Illinois and currently work remotely, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to walking and sitting your pets! I am very cautious about animal interactions and will always put your pets safety first. Having a large dog, I’ve learned to keep my head on a swivel on walks and have mastered watching body language and redirection around any uncomfortable situations that may arise. I treat everyone’s pet like my own and make sure they get all the play time, snuggles, and walks they want!

“Taylor is amazing! She helped us out in a pinch, dealt with a fiasco bc our other sitter left a dog out of the crate and cleaned up the shredded dog bed. She went above and beyond and saved the day for us after our flight home from vacation was delayed.”

Mindy K.

“Karen takes great care of my cat when I’m away and keeps me updated on how she’s doing. I can tell she loves what she does and really cares about the animals left in her care”

Julia C.

“So glad I went with Rover! Julie and her husband were so nice to meet. My boxers were well cared for. You can tell from the pictures they loved them and their play time. I will definitely be having them back. Thank you!!”

About: In addition to owning 3 cats, I grew up owning a variety of pets throughout my life. (cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, chicken, fish, and a goat). I will admit that I have more experience with cats than I do dogs. I have 3 cats, Keenan, Kel, and Marjorie Stewart-Baxter. I do love dogs very much as well, though, and have plenty of experience with them. Many friends ask me to tend to their animals while they are away. So I figured, why not do it on here as well? Before you leave home, it is important to offer as much instruction as possible. Where are things located if not out on the counter? Does the animal require meds or a special diet? Are there extra #2 bags? All of those things are useful. If you think of something, it is probably best to write it down. I love animals, and they love me. I hope to make your animals feel as comfortable as possible while you are apart. I am mainly free on nights and weekends. My office schedule is flexible as well, however. So I could make an afternoon walk or drop in visit work with enough notice. I own 3 cats who are all seniors. They have been part of my family for over a decade. As they are aging, I adjusted their diets to reflect their age bracket and dietary needs. Marjorie requires a thyroid pill twice daily, which I administer religiously and make sure I have a pet care schedule that reflects this when I go on longer trips. I give them all love and cuddles and attention as much as possible. Two of them are cuddling me as I write this. I hope to provide the same love and care to your pets while you are away from home. My goal is to make sure their wellbeing is the last thing you need to worry about. If I am providing a drop-in visit, I will show them love and play with them in addition to providing what they need in your instructions. If I am walking your dog, they can be curious and stop and smell the roses to their heart's content. All animals will be pampered with love and treats. Your pets will always miss you while you're away, but I hope my presence will help them feel less anxiety so that you only see happily wagging tails when you return.

About: I have two friendly cats and backyard chickens. I have had cats and dogs for most of my life. I go trail hiking at local forest preserves and state parks 2-4 times a week and would love to take your dog with me! I only have one dog guest at a time (unless they are from the same home) so I can give them lots of care and attention and provide you with regular updates and photos. You will know your pet is being well looked after. My goal is to make your pet feel like it is on a fun vacation while you are on a fun vacation. Nothing makes me happier than dogs I've cared before, coming back and pulling on their leash to come into my house on their next visit! I only work half-time so I have plenty of time for pets. I know how important your pet is to you and I'm very responsible. My dog guests are walked at least three times a day including a walk or hike of 30 minutes or longer. They are also able to use my fenced in backyard when the chickens are locked up for the night .

About: As an emerging professional, I found it to be wise to not get an animal of my own quite yet, but through this opportunity I can still be around and interact with your loving animal(s). I have interacted with an array of dogs, and currently my family has had 3 dogs. Brandy, a golden retriever who loved being outside and swimming, Jack (who is in my profile picture) a cocker spaniel who loved a good nap, and our other dog Ziggy, a long haired dachshund who has calmed down over the years but loves to great people with his loud bark. I have experience working with older dogs who require medication, so if your pup/cat needs that attention, I’ve got you covered. I like to think I’m an active person, so walks will be had as well. I also love giving animals baths, so if you are interested that can be included in my services! Thank you for your consideration! I currently have a full time job, but would have mornings, lunch, and after 5pm available to love on your pet. I make it a priority to make sure they keep their schedule and have an ample amount of attention. I think keeping pets in their homes is especially important when their parents are away, so that’s why I am more than happy to come to them. Just like humans, I want to make sure they feel loved and cared for even when you are not there. I love to cuddle and play with all the pets I watch as well so they will not be missing out on attention (haha)!

About: Family members and friends have relied on me to watch their dogs, cats, and bunnies. My family always had pets growing up, so I’ve been around both dogs and cats my whole life. Because of this custom, I also have two cats now. They are my babies!! I have a full time job Monday through Friday. I am available in the mornings during the week before noon. I’m available anytime on the weekends, if you’re looking for a weekend vacay, and need someone to watch your fur babies! I’ll make sure their basic needs are met, and more! I’ll give them the same love and care that I give my own fur babies. If given any kind of care instructions by you, I will follow them exactly. My goal is to make your pets comfortable and happy while you’re away, so they don’t get too lonely!

“Jen is the absolute best!! Put this mama heart at ease coming to let the pups out and sending updates and pics throughout the visit! Top notch and so communicative! Thanks, Jen!”
