About: I’ve taken care of small and large dogs before. I’ve dealt with dogs with trauma. I’m prepared to walk in rain when needed. I can also handle medication management. I’m currently working full-time remote two days a week. I’m in decent shape to walk for longer periods during my one-hour lunch break and after work at 4 pm. I’m friendly and open to a variety of pets. Though I don’t have any pets of my own, I’ll take care yours like they are mine. I’ve been trusted to care for pets for long periods. I have managed medication, special diets and walking several times a day.

“Katherine does an excellent job, and would highly recommend! Very nice, experienced with dogs and cats, and keeps a consistent schedule.”

About: I truly love animals and have years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs through rescue work. I’ve helped with feeding cat colonies, TNR efforts, and supporting dog rescues, which has taught me how to be patient and attentive with animals of all personalities. I’m especially good with shy or nervous pets and always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care is already a natural part of my routine. I’m used to planning my days around feeding, checking in on animals, and making sure they’re comfortable and cared for. Because of my experience helping with rescues and caring for animals regularly, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. I always follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding on schedule, fresh water, walks or playtime, litter box or potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs to make sure they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and keep their environment calm and familiar. 🐾

“I am very happy with Guadalupe’s care of my pup. Communication: great; following special instructions: excellent; general care and love of my pup: fantastic. She was also available for a last minus request (due to failed planning on my part), which was a big deal for me. This was my second booking with Guadalupe, and I will likely book again. Thanks Guadalupe!”

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs almost my whole life! My personal pet care background is incredibly diverse. I currently manage a lively three-cat household with my sweet cuddle bug Lillie, and my sister’s rambunctious and silly littermate brothers, Scout and Sawyer. I am also the proud owner of a childhood calico named Luna, and a Shepherd/golden mix, Osa. Because Osa is a high-energy, reactive dog, I learned a lot from her and personally worked on training her. Additionally, I have experience with senior pets. I lovingly cared for my late childhood dog, Sisi, which included managing her daily medications. I have also administered short-term medications to cats. I specialize exclusively in house sitting at your home, drop-in visits, and neighborhood dog walks. I look forward to giving your pets the absolute best care! :) My schedule is very flexible this summer, which makes it easy to stick to whatever daily routine your pets are used to. Whether they need a mid-day drop-in visit, a walk, or someone to stay overnight to keep them company, I can easily accommodate their regular timing. Since I will be caring for your pets in your home, my main priority is keeping their environment safe and consistent. I am highly attentive to details like securing doors and gates, keeping dogs properly leashed during walks, and following your specific household instructions. I always send regular photo updates and check-ins so you have full peace of mind while you are away.

“Thank you for walking our babies. We just loved your energy and the love for our dogs. Thank you again.”

About: Iva had a dog since I was young and had a cat too. What better way to earn some extra cash then by spending time with mans best friend! My experience is based on being a pet owner for many years. I currently have two dogs, one small and one very large. I enjoy walking them, playing with them and cuddling them. I talk to my dogs all the time too! I’m a huge fan of positive reinforcement and Earning their trust thru kindness and the reward system. I’m trustworthy, honest and will treat your pet with the greatest care. They deserve only the best as they are members of the family too. I will do as I am instructed so your pet feels comfortable and not stressed out. Thank you

“Lindsey was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and she matched our needs perfectly. Lindsey came over so we could meet before which was perfect. She bonded almost immediately with our two dogs. They loved her! We will use her again. I really appreciate her daily updates and pictures. We could be at ease knowing that they were being cared for. Thank you Lindsey!”

About: I love caring for all types of dogs. I have experience with large, medium and small, dog sitting for family, friends and neighbors. I enjoy walking, playing, and spending quality time with each dog while being attentive to their daily routines. I create a calm, positive experience and ensure every dog receives the activity, structure, and companionship they need. I am semi-retired and have a flexible schedule, having the ability to work around your pet's weekday and/or weekend schedule. I can simply drop in for feedings, or stay and play. I have experience administering medicine as well. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, medications, and daily care, and I pay close attention to behavior and well-being. I keep your home secure during each visit and always ensure doors, gates, and entry points are safely closed. My goal is to give you peace of mind and your pet a calm, safe experience while you’re away.

“Kathy is doing a great job with Gracie’s walks! Gracie takes time to adjust to new people but Kathy knew how to connect with her right away. A wonderful match!”

About: Hello pet lovers! My name is Jordan, and I am so excited to be joining Rover! I have a dog of my own, and I’ve had so many pets in the past. I have trained my dog myself, and I am very skilled at walking dogs, and making sure any animal gets their proper care. I’ll make sure your fur baby gets enough exercise and has a fun time! I’ll give your fur babies the same love that I would give mine! I I hope you will consider me to help care for your pets! My schedule is pretty flexible and open, I have the summers off so that is a benefit. I’m usually available early afternoon to the evening time. I’m willing to make changes and work with you if needed as well! I will follow all rules necessary for a drop in visit, and I will make sure their animal is cared for and getting all the fun and love they need! I will treat their fur babies as I would treat my own, walks, treats/food if requested, water, pets, plays time, you name it!

About: Hello! My name is Sam; I’m an experienced petsitter and have worked with animals nearly my entire life. I volunteered at Save-A-Pet in Grayslake for over 6 years. Additionally, I worked as a dog handler at Central Bark doggy daycare in Grayslake, and was a stablehand at Shorewood Acres in Grayslake for 4 years. These experiences fine-tuned my ability to read dog and cat body language and behavior, ensuring that your pets are safe! I am Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid & CPR Certified. Additionally, I have my own 90lb GSD/staffy mix, who helped me learn so much more about dog training, enrichment, and nutrition. I can assure you, your pets will be safe with me as your pet sitter, dog walker, or drop-in visitor. I look forward to getting to know you and your pet. Thank you for your time and consideration! I currently WFH on a flexible schedule, so I am super flexible on bookings! I am able to make weekdays, nights, weekends, and mornings work to fit your needs. FOR OVERNIGHT CARE, PLEASE READ: If you are seeking overnight pet-sitting, please note that I can only stay overnight for clients whose pets are dog-friendly, as my own dog would need to come with so that he is cared for overnight as well. I would require a meet and greet (these are free!) before your set dates to make sure they get along; my pup has never met a dog that he doesn't like! I am huge on safety and comfort for every pet that I work with. To ensure the safety of both your pets and myself, I consistently monitor body language and behavior to assess how your pet is feeling! I follow all special instructions given to me to a T.

About: I truly take care of pets, being responsible and careful. I have had pets with disabilities, very old, and I have given them medicine orally, and topically and changed the bandages, as well as fed with my palm for very old and blind ones. I currently work part time and mostly available to take care of pets. My schedule is flexible for boarding on and off, as well as weekends I live in a single house with fenced backyard. I am available for taking care of your loved ones and have a nice place in my house for them❤️. It is clean and cozy.

“Sabrina is a good dog walker, she lives our dog, and goes out of her way to make her visit meaningful to our pet.”
