About: 40 Years Professional Experienced Pet Sitter & Pet Lover will love and care for your fur babies while you are away...walks, medications administered, overnights, stays in my home, play time, sleep time, lots of snuggles, special needs, seniors, and any special requests. I used to run a small pet rescue, have rescued cats and dogs in my home and have extensive experience working with all kinds of pets, including those who have special needs, getting them to the veterinarian, therapy, groomers or any other appointments. I will work directly with you to make sure that your pet has the best time possible while you are away so that when you arrive home you can just relax. Please give me a chance to love and get to know your pet. Excellent References!! Pet sitting is part of my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with your fur babies, getting them outside for potty breaks, playing their favorite game and giving plenty of pets and snuggles. I take excellent care of your fur babies just as I do my own. We have a great time and take all safety measures needed.

About: I am a pediatric nurse. I have close to 10 years of dog and cat experience through family pets and recently a diabetic dog named Dexter (has since passed away) I have experience providing oral and injectable medications for dogs. I work three 12-hour shifts per week but each week varies. However, I have flexibility in choosing what days I want to work. I'm typically up at 5am for work so if you need to drop your pet off early or need early check ins I'm available! I live in a single family home with wife. We have safety gates and crates in our home for when we have to step out of the house. I will separate our dog from other dogs if necessary. Food is always kept in a safe spot that no dog can get into. Our subdivision is surrounded by open fields so there are plenty of areas to walk. The backyard is large and fenced in. Fence does not have slats so next door dogs do not have a way in unless we want them for playtime. I walk our dog multiple times a day for potty breaks/exercise. I always walk our dog with a leash and will do so with other dogs. I love to snuggle and play with dogs and will do so with yours! I am happy to meet in advance to discuss any needs required and to make sure I am the best fit for your dog! As a dog parent I understand that dogs are a member of the family that require special care. I want to provide the best, stress-free care for your pup. I can check in as often as you request and will provide pictures and updates throughout the service.

About: I've had dogs since the age of 10. I currently have two of my own, who I have had trained professionally and I have learned a lot from those experiences. I foster puppies and adult dogs as well as volunteer to walk the pups at a local animal shelter. I am familiar with dog behavior and how to keep them safe in challenging or new situations. Lots of love is always included. I'm currently working part-time as a Birth and Postpartum Doula and have plenty of time to be the person you count on to help care for your pup(s)! I make sure to always have the pup on a leash or ensure they are in a fenced in back yard. I keep distance between me and other dogs when walking. I also pay attention to the dog's body language such as fur raised, stiff body, or low growls and avoid dangerous situations.

“Katy was great with our Frankie, and was able to assist her through a few days of her first heat. Would book again—thank you!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 20 years. I consistently watch and/or walk 5 dogs and have experience with small and midsize pets. I currently work full-time from home and have a flexible schedule. With enough notice, I can schedule around routines and walks easily. Weekends are typically flexible as well. Currently, there is no dog living in the home so it would just be your pet(s). We allow them on furniture but adhere to whatever makes them more comfortable (ie. if they prefer crates vs. free roam, we are happy to follow any guidelines.) Smoke-free home. I work from home and will be present with them all day. We do not have a yard but I typically walk 3-4x a day.

About: I have taken care of mine and friends dogs over the years. I currently have three dogs and three cats of my own! My house has kind of always been a zoo so I have a lot of experience! I also have been riding horses since I was little so I have experience with horses as well! My schedule is very open since I only have class three days a week. I did rover over the summer in my home town and loved it I can easily follow any instructions that I am given! I will only do what the owner of the animal is comfortable with in their home!

About: I love animals and taking care of them. I had a dog for 15 years before having to put him down. I love being active with dogs and playing with them and walking them. I will give them all the attention they deserve. Walk them as much as they need and love them like they are my own. Dogs are intelligent animals that deserve to be treated with respect. I have experience in dog sitting and walking dogs.I will follow your rules for your dog. I look forward to meeting and speaking with you about the care of your dog(s). Have a great day! I am currently working full time until 7/3. I will then be switching careers and have more availability. I will begin full time employment in September again! I will care for the dog as if they are my own dog. I will follow the instructions provided. I will go at the dogs pace to build a bond with them!

About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was 17. I’ve owned 4 dogs at one point. I have raised two litters of cats. I currently have one dog and one cat! I love animals and would love to help you give love to yours! Rover is my full time job so I am available! I will give your loved ones undivided attention! I will follow directions and make sure I give them lots of love and attention. I do not work currently. I only have to be at home at 2 to pick up my daughter from school. But I have a pretty open schedule. I walk my dog three times a day to ensure there aren’t any accidents at home. I have a gate in case i have to separate pets.

About: I’ve been a certified veterinary technician for 11 years and have been in the veterinary field for 15 years. Dogs are my absolute passion! I would love nothing more than to spoil your fur baby as rotten as I do my own! I am very familiar with all medications and anything else medical related. I can also do nail trims, ear cleanings and anything else you may need while your pet is here. I work from home on Mondays and Wednesdays and I am home full time the rest of the time with my two kids, two dogs, and cat. Your dog will never be alone while staying here! We have plenty of space to run and play inside and outside! Our dogs are extremely playful and would love a pal! Our two young kids will also keep your dog company with plenty of playtime and tons of snuggles! We like to go on walks all the time too! We are very good at following routines so whatever your pet needs, we will be more than happy to keep their schedule the same as it is at home. We have plenty of space for a crate if your pet needs one or they can be left out if they’re more comfortable with that. We are always home so your dog won’t ever be left unattended for more than an hour or two if we need to run to the store or something. We have a very routine schedule we follow every day so your dog will have no problem sliding right into it. Your dog will never be outside unattended and will always have someone to play with or snuggle with between my husband and I and our two kids.

“Grace is a very nice young lady who is very dependable and has a wonderful personality. My dog has loved her coming to take her for walks.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for 18 years, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I owned a successful pet sitting business in Texas for 7 years before returning home to Palatine. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with their fur babies for walks, feeding, medication administration, and overnight care. I treat every pet like my own and send regular photo updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! I’m available for dog walking on weekdays (mornings and afternoons), boarding on weekends, and weekday evening drop-in visits. I can accommodate last-minute requests when possible and am happy to work around your schedule. Whether you need daily walks, vacation care, or regular check-ins, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention and exercise they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. For boarding, I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can play safely, and my two friendly, well-socialized dogs provide great companionship for social pups. If your dog prefers alone time or needs to be the only dog, I can easily accommodate that with separate spaces and one-on-one attention. For in-home visits at your place, I follow your house rules exactly, keep doors/gates secured, and never allow pets outside off-leash unless you’ve specifically requested it. I’m experienced with crate training, feeding schedules, and medication administration. I always send photo/video updates so you have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe and happy. I live in Palatine with my grandmother in a pet-friendly home where your pet will be treated like family.

About: I would love to help you take care of your pets when you can't. I am an online student busy finishing my degree in psychology, I have a lot of free time on my hands so I like to do things I enjoy aka taking care of animals/pets. I have one dog and two cats ( and we definitely plan on adding another dog soon), my pets are literally my babies. I know the stress of going away and worrying about your pets, that's how I came across Rover! My pets are a big part of my life and members of my family and I will treat yours the same. I'm easy going, friendly, honest and reliable. Please feel welcome to send me a message!

About: I live in a studio apartment and am unable to keep a pet due to the lease conditions. This has left me with a hole in my heart for connection with pets. I would adore the opportunity to spend time with your pet and care for them. Growing up, we had a yellow Labrador Retriever named Sandy who I felt was the best dog we could possibly have asked for. I trained her, taught her tricks, and played with her almost constantly. In more recent years, I took care of Daisy who was a medium sized mixed breed with spunk. She belonged to an ex-partner and I cared for her as if she was my own. She needed lots of stimulation and outlet for energy as well; we had multiple walks a day and it was fun to see her solving playful challenges I made. I grew up around rabbits that I adored, and even dressed them up in my doll’s clothes! My sister and I later raised rabbits for several years. We brought them everywhere we could and had special harnesses and leashes to walk them around the neighborhood or pet store, etc. They also liked to run around our backyard with our dog. I am comfortable around cats, hairless or not! I allow them to approach me, rather than crowd their space. When they want to, I love cuddling with cats and feeling them purr. I have usually cared for multiple cats at once. Although I have never lived with a cat, I am confident in caring for them and interacting with them. Staying late at the office? Let me stop by to feed, pet, play with, and exercise your pet. No time in the early mornings or during lunch? Let me take the time you wish you had to care for them. While my own home is not pet friendly, I am happy to visit yours. If your pet has a routine and schedule they are on, I want to keep that seamlessly running for you. If your pet is adventurous, I want to keep them engaged.

“Iryna was great and took amazing care of my golden retriever Maci! She communicated every day to tell me how Maci was doing and sent tons of photos of their walks together!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of different ages and personalities, from playful puppies to calm senior dogs. I enjoy walking, feeding, and spending quality time with them. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also have experience managing multiple pets at once, keeping them active and happy. I’m currently working full time every day and usually respond within 2 hours. My working hours are from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Night stays with your pets at my home are also available. Feel free to reach out to me anytime. I live on a cozy, pet-friendly street where many owners walk their dogs. I also have three friendly cats who can keep your furry friend company.

“Very quick reply and perfect communication. My first time using this service and made me feel at ease. Will use her again in future. I highly recommend.”

About: Since a child, I have been trusted to watch, walk, and care for neighbors and friends dogs. I still care for my friends and families dogs. I grew into loving the difficult dogs, training lots of different sports and dog behavior. I love seniors/special needs who just need some TLC. Puppies are my absolute favorite. I enjoy the bond and training from the start. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom looking to start working again and thought this would be a great fit due to my passion with animals. I have a flexible schedule and am available to board most days. Dogs will be given love and attention, play, walks, really whatever they are into or owner needs. My own crew loves to swim in our pool, play frisbee or fetch the chuck-it. I have 3 custom built in crates that are massively oversized. I can keep dogs separate from my own or integrate. I absolutely love working with puppies and dogs and exposing them to new fun things!

About: Dogs are a gift from heaven. I have a gift of love for dogs. My dogs mean the world to me. They are everything. When ever I see someone walking their dog I say hi to the dog! I am patient and caring. I believe dogs need that because just like us they have feelings and triggers. I understand each dog is different and I will most certainly adapt to your dogs needs. And of course give plenty of snoot kisses. I am the type of dog lover to lay on the ground with your dog, have conversations and send plenty of pictures and updates to you 🧡 I work a part time job from 5am to 10am. And the rest of the day is for the dogs and whatever they need! Frequent potty breaks and long walks I have a fenced in yard and a 7 year old boxer Shepard mix who loves to play. My dog and any dog are allowed on furniture unless you suggest otherwise. I love to walk or wven run long distance. My doggo baylee and I love to 8 miles most days.
