About: I have had and watched dogs in my life since I was a teenager. I love being with them more than most humans. I have taken care of lots of different kinds of dogs. I treat them all as I would my own. I am retired and have a fairly open schedule. I can give your dogs my full attention, attend to their needs and wants. They are my priority. I have a fenced in yard and lots of non fenced yard. Depending on your dogs preference, I also have lots of area to take long walks. I live in the country and its peaceful and quiet here with lots of room to play and walk.

“Melissa was wonderful. My dog, Winston, is a bit nervous around new people, but he warmed up to Melissa right away. She always gave him a great walk, and was always quick to respond when I needed to book more sessions. Will definitely use again!”

About: We have had dogs and cats all our lives. Our current dog was quite a handful when we first got him, so we have some experience with stubborn big dogs, haha. Love to take dogs out for exercise walks as well as sniff walks. Also enjoy a good couch potato session with puppies and kitties alike. We have experience giving baths and medication to our own cats and dogs as well as those of family and friends. We are very patient with shy animals. and we will give your fur babies all the love and attention that they want or need (and if they do not want it, we will give them space). We are always down for a good game of tug or chase the string.

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: Hello! My name is Olivia and I’m 24. I’m a proud owner of a vibrant 12-year-old Toy Poodle, a cherished member of our family since I was young. During high school, I launched a thriving dog walking/sitting service right in our neighborhood, where I had the pleasure of caring for an array of delightful dogs, from playful Poodles to majestic Rottweilers. Since moving I no longer have a pet of my own and miss the daily walks and playtime! At the moment my job offers a lot of flexibility where I am able to work remotely 75% of the week. I am available around your pups needs! I live in a complex with lots of running space inside, as well as next to lots of open fields right outside. Also just a short walk from the park! I will care for your pet by following all your wants and needs!

“Riley was amazing! Dropped in and took the dogs for a walk and made sure they were fed while we were out of town.”

About: I have two dogs of my own, who LOVE friends. Trust me your dog will be wore out and ready for cuddles when you get home. I cannot accept cats, even though I love them, my beagle will try and track them and I don’t think they will have fun. I do have outside cats that I take care of, but if your dog does not get along with them, I can keep them away. I live in the country, so I have a HUGE yard, but it is not fenced in. I’m currently home most days, so dogs will not be kenneled for long periods. Outside breaks every hour to two hours when I am home. You fur baby will never be lonely at our house. My two dogs will love to play and I have a giant couch for cuddles! I will send updates and pictures!

About: I used to live on a ranch including dogs and cats. I’ve had many years of caring for them and when anything happens to them, I’m the first one that gets called to get asked what they can do to help them. I am full time Monday-Friday but I would love to take care of your pets after! Anytime after 4:30 will be the best time I can come after work but on the days I’m off, anytime works Whatever the rules are, I will follow them. If dogs are needed to be crated at a certain time, I can do that and if they need free time constantly then I am all for that as well.
