“Candace was so helpful and quick to respond. I hired her from out of state to help my mom care for her dog when she was ill. My mom loved her, the dog loved her. Will definitely use her services again in the future.”

“This was our second time hiring Gianna through Rover. As always, she was very accommodating to the needs of our beloved Sienna! She took great care of her while we were gone and provided detailed updates on her time spent with Sienna. We will definitely be using Gianna again in the future!”

About: I have lots of animals and lots of love. I am great with all animals and even insects, reptiles and more. I am local to Crete, Illinois. I work a remote job, full-time job, so I am extremely flexible with your needs. I take care of my cats bright and early and throughout the day. **NOTE** I work a seasonal, part-time, job for the International Hotrod Association (IHRA) Spring-Summer, therefore, my booking will be closed and reopen over the winter-time. I practice proper training, obedience, proper health care, lots of love and more. I use this application to provide services and also book services for my pets as well, so I expect my care provider to give the same top notch care for my fur babies.

“Mariah accepted my request last minute and was a huge help. She went above and beyond when walking my pup on an abnormally hot day to make sure he didn't overheat. Great communication. Will request her help again.”

About: My experience has been mostly my family and friends. I have taken their animals on walks, bathed them, fed them, played with them. Took them to parks and even trained them on new skills. Since I just graduated I have very open availability and ready to help. I am very organized and dependable, I value time management, my career/education, and most importantly taking care of people and animals. I am currently waiting for the new school year to roll around and continue my education so my schedule is free. I wake up early to work out but that time can be flexible depending on if I have a pet to watch. I keep the animals on the schedule they are used to. Feed them, fill water, walks, clean behind them, playtime, medicine if they need. Also litter box maintenance for cats. Also making sure we’re safe in the house and my phone near me to contact the owners if needed.

“Kiana is very thorough with walking my two dogs. She always gives me anything important that I need to know regarding the walks. I will definitely use her again!”

“Hey there. My name is pattie and Jordan came to walk both of my dogs. He was great! His communication couldn’t have been any better. My dogs are like my children, so I love to know when he arrives, leaves and filled the dog bowls with food and water. He was very attentive. I will gladly be rebooking in the future.”

About: I hope to make your pets feel comfortable and loved while their beloved owner is away. I have plenty of experience with animals being I have grown up with various pets. Whether it is for 30 minutes or 4 days I plan to love your pets as if they were my own! I currently do not have any pets of my own but my roommate has a medium sized dog but if I’m pet sitting they most likely won’t be home. I am a very outgoing and energetic person, I also enjoy being outside a lot. I hope to bring your furry friend to one of the many dog parks nearby. I like all animals small or big and would love to spend some time with your furry besties! If you have any questions or concerns feel free to email me or message me on here! Talk soon! :) I just moved to the city so my schedule is all open but I plan on getting a part time or full time job in the future I allow pets on furniture and beds we also have lots of extra toys. I am fully capable of feeding, walking, and covering play time. I also can implement good behavior training (non professional) but just basic sit, stay, paw. Please let me know if you are not comfortable with me taking photos of your pup or kitty ( I like to use them for my profile to show my diverse set of ‘clientails’) but of course that is up to you :)

“Mark is timely and reliable. He takes care of your dog and wants to learn their habits/tendencies. Detailed and conscientious with consistent/informative communication.”

About: No one likes to choose favorites, but let's face it, beloved animals definitely get all my hugs and kisses! I love being outdoors, being active, and spending time with my favorite companions. I have volunteered at humane societies, and have even scooped up my favorite pals from rescue shelters. I have reunited 11 dogs with their families after being lost! I am also professionally skilled in dog walking from past experiences. During that time I was a house sitter, dog trainer, and I was responsible for strict feeding and medication policies from owners, always making sure the animal was safe and happy during my visits. When able, I love taking them on adventures! I believe a dog's favorite treat is a walk and it just so happens to be my favorite as well! My availability is customized to your needs, and I look forward to working with you and your furry friends! My schedule is home based and very flexible! Your pet's care, including multiple walks, or possible adventures, their feeding, play time, rest, and comfort all come first! I have a fenced in yard and cameras throughout my home to ensure your pet's safety! There may be other client's dogs with us, but every pet is always highly supervised to ensure happy play times!

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets with different needs and routines. I have taken care of a 1-year-old cat along with 3 other adult cats, including a cat who required at least 30 minutes of playtime and interaction every day. I have also cared for a large dog who ate home-cooked soup mixed with his food at specific feeding times, as well as a husky who stayed in an air-conditioned dog house unit and required daily vitamins and attentive care. I am good at following direction for the desired care you and your pet need. I work remotely and any activities I plan I would plan around a schedule if at all with the pet in mind. I will plan in advance for the openings I have in my schedule to permit me to be with the pet. I typically stay in the pets home to create a less stressful environment for the pet and go about its daily routine as instructed by the pet owner. I will stay as long as required by the pet owner or stay in a guest bedroom all day depending on what makes the pet owner most comfortable with.

About: I’m fortunate to have experience with a wide variety of animals thanks to my cousins, who have two cats, three dogs, a turtle, and a horse. I help care for their pets regularly, so I’m comfortable meeting the unique needs of animals of all kinds and treating each one like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m currently finishing up breast cancer treatment and have intentionally chosen pet sitting as my primary work. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and being able to provide reliable, loving care while I’m in this season of life has been incredibly rewarding. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. At my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard for supervised play, exercise, and potty breaks, along with plenty of attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other care instructions. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

About: I’ve had 2 dogs in my family since I was in middle school. I was very hands on in potty training when they were puppies. I’ve also gone to a lot of dog training classes in the past that taught me how to form healthy relationships with dogs. I am very flexible since I work from remotely Monday through Friday. I also have open availability on the weekends. Having a job that supports me working wherever allows me to provide more time to sit. Having a conversation with each owner really gives me insight into the dogs routine. I always ask what time their meals are as well as their walking schedule. I also like to ask home owners where all the dog’s items are located. I like to provide the dogs with a lot of affection and playtime.

About: I've had multiple pets for the past 15 years. My husband and I have 3 cats and recently just adopted a 3 month old German Shepherd/Rottweiler pup that we’re absolutely in love with. I understand the importance of having play time for pets and will be more than willing to play a near endless game of fetch and anything else to help stretch their legs - and if your furbabies prefer to just snuggle for a bit and get some love, I am perfectly content with that, too! I am currently living in Green Park and have flexible availability, including both weekdays and weekends. I am able and willing to pet-sit, as well. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to message me and ask. I'm a pretty friendly, outgoing, and energetic person who just loves animals (: I currently am only working in-person on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday so I have some flexibility to meet your pets’ needs. I can easily help on weeknights, as well. My backyard is fully fenced. If your pet does better in a crate, I am okay with doing this as well if it is what you do in your own environment. Anything I can do to keep your pet on their normal routine with you is what I strive to do. Consistency helps a lot with pets being in a different environment or just with a different person in general.

“Gillian communicates well and answers my messages in a timely fashion. She is on time for her visits. My pup Ransom is usually hesitant the first few times around a new sitter, but warmed to Gillian and went on a walk with her no problem. Thank you.”
