Dog Sitting Hanover Park

About: I have been a special education teacher for 19 years so I understand patients. I have trained several dogs and cared for a variety of other animals working in the pet industry. I have training working with animals in therapy settings and will work hard to make your pet feel as if they were one of mine. Since my first job training birds I have an understanding of care that helps put animals at ease. I am currently working part-time and looking to start a dog training business while i continue my work with those with special needs. I have flexible availability and am looking to get regular clients together for the now and the future. I have had several pets in my life and currently have a experience with dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, and even birds. I will work with you to develop regular routines and schedules.

“Gabriela is wonderful! She was able to accommodate a last minute request, which I really appreciated. She is always on time or a few minutes early, which is nice, and is great with my pup.”

“Susan was our first ever Rover sitter, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Our Ted cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes, so it's comforting to know he's in good hands when we are gone.”

About: I’ve been taking care and have had dogs for the past 15 years. Pet sitting for multiple friends and families in the past 6 years as well as volunteering in dog shelters in the past 2 years. Wanting to give pups of all kinds a happy life! Currently working full time monday through friday with availability after 6:30 and full availability on weekends. Open limited availability in the mornings 6-8am during the week!! Perfect for long weekend walks or nice strolls on weekday afternoons! Have a partially fenced in yard, with friendly neighbors around and walkable distance to dog parks as well as long path/hiking trails around the neighborhood!

About: I've taken care of and had dogs ever since I was 8 years old. I recently relocated to Chicago and lost my dog a little over a year ago at age 12 to natural causes. I'm very active into sports and take many walks daily. Throughout the year I like to foster dogs to help rescues with adoptions. I like to do a morning long walk 20 minutes or more before I go to work. Depending on what is needed for pet care, I have a pretty flexible schedule to do more than one potty break. After work I also like to do another evening walk if time allows and just to settle down for the night. I have a friendly dog community and do not mind walking multiple times to expend energy. The house is also very spacious for relaxation. If you allow furniture sleeping so do I. I'm flexible to what my clients would want from my in home stays. If I come to your house, naturally I would follow guidelines that your pet is typically used to.

“Riley was a breath of fresh air for us!!! First time having a stranger take cat of our 2 dogs and 3 cats ! I was nervous at first but once we met it seemed perfect! Riley went above and beyond every visit stayed a little longer then scheduled to give some extra love to the pans we were just thankful for her to check in and feed them and let the dogs out! Thank you so much and looking forward to be able to travel again with ease of knowing Riley can watch them again. Thank you!!”

About: I grew up in a home always having at least 2 pups running around & have always enjoyed being around animals. While I have always helped out with our own animals ever since I was little, I have been house sitting/pet sitting for others since I was 10! I also have experience with a wide age range, from puppies to senior pups. I have a few families I regularly dog-sit consistently that I’ve met through rover, and would love to add some new faces to my “dog family” & love on your pup while you’re away! :) I work full time Monday-Thursday, these days I am free after 6/7pm. I have full availability on Fridays and weekends for all the cuddles, walks & fetch games we can fit in! I have a cat - Luna - who is the sweetest ball of fluff you will ever meet, however, she is very anxious and shy. While she does very well with other cats, she doesn’t do well with dogs. Watching your pup in their own environment would be ideal, not only for them, but for her.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of different ages and personalities and always take the time to learn what makes each one feel comfortable. I love going on walks, playing and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention while their owners are away. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, treats, medications and any special routines or instructions you may have. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and send plenty of pictures and updates along the way! My weekday availability is primarily in the early mornings and evenings, making me a great fit for before work and evening visits. I’m also available on weekends with more flexibility throughout the day and will always do my best to work with your pet’s usual routine. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. During each visit, I can handle feeding, fresh water, medications or supplements, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, walks and plenty of playtime and attention. I’m careful about securely closing doors and gates, and I’ll send pictures and updates after each visit so you know how your pet is doing.

“Renee was great! Loved that she took the time beforehand to do a meet n greet. She even did an extra meet n greet because we booked so far in advance and it had been awhile. Attentive, kind, and her passion for animals is clear! Thank you 😊”

About: Dog lover since 1992 and has cared for 5 different huskies in my family. As a kid, I regularly took care of our Siberian husky brothers, Rambo and Rascal, since they were 6 months old. Loves dogs with high energy and enjoys seeing their excitement when they get to go for a walk. Your doggo is in good hands when they’re with me. I am currently looking for part-time work after leaving my laboratory job in Colorado. I have all the time in the day to care for your dog and/or cat. I am an active person who likes to be outside and takes walks as long as the weather permits. I live across the street from Turner Park in Roselle with walking trails nearby. Our yard has a big grassy backyard that is perfect for your dog to explore while supervised on a leash. For pet safety, I always walk dogs outside with a leash and I always try to avoid meetings with other dogs; I always carry pocket pepper spray for the off chance that an aggressive dog gets loose and wants to cause harm (my good friend lost the tip of his index finger to a Pitbull who attacked his Husky at a dog park). I also avoid dog parks as I cannot trust other dogs around yours. I safely drive a SUV for the possibility that your dog needs to be picked up and/or dropped off. To avoid ticks, I don’t let dogs rummage through tall grass. If you have more than one dog that needs care then they are always feed in separate areas to avoid any confrontations. Willing to provide dog washing upon request.

“You will not go wrong if you choose Warda. I left my young, shy kitten & came home to her being outgoing, talkative & more playful. Warda is a cat mom & treated my cat as her own. She also found ways to capitalize on the drop-in time for entertainment as it was my cat's time to be left alone without me being there. I know my cat missed me as she hasn't let me out of her sight since my coming home and that warms my heart.”

I currently have a cat who truly lives his best life, so I understand how important comfort and routine are for pets.

I treat every pet with genuine love and responsibility and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being I’m currently working in grooming salon just to 3 pm, so I easily can take care about your pet before I start my work shift and after it I have a cat. We play a lot so I know how to give enough attention to your cat/cats. They’re going to be treated with a lot of love and care

About: I have two years of experience training puppies (potty/crate training and beginner-advanced commands). I'm patient and let dogs sniff around as much as they please on walks so they get all that good sensory stimulation! I also live near a dog park, and I love taking dogs out to run around and play. Luckily enough, I work from home and am able to watch dogs throughout the day and night, with the ability to take dogs out on as needed bathroom breaks and to play with/train/walk them a throughout the day. Dogs can feel super safe and comfortable at my home! I have a small fenced backed patio with a grassy area. Since I have a small dog, my home is fairly dog-proof. I have multiple dog beds and a play area, not to mention a big selection of toys to choose from!

“Our first time using Rover while in Telluride and we are so thankful to have Nancy's help with our puppy. She sent great pictures and we couldn't be happier with the service she provided. We'll definitely use her again.”

About: Hi, I’m Liv, a lifelong pet lover with extensive experience caring for dogs and cats! Before getting my own dog, Lucy, I spent years pet sitting through TrustedHousesitters, receiving great reviews from pet owners who appreciated my attentive care and reliability. Now that I have Lucy—a sweet and energetic Wheaten Terrier—I’ve decided to offer my pet-sitting services locally. What sets me apart? I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and entertained while you’re away. I’m experienced with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and care needs, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra attention. Whether it’s belly rubs, long walks, playtime, or snuggles, I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and routine. I’d love the chance to meet your furry friend and provide them with top-notch care while giving you peace of mind. Let’s chat about how I can help! I work from home, so I’m home all day to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and care for your pet. Since I already have a dog, Lucy, I’m used to keeping a consistent routine with walks, potty breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. Whether your pet loves company or just needs someone around to keep them comfortable, I can easily accommodate their needs. In my home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and part of the family. Since I work from home, they’ll get plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. My dog, Lucy, is friendly and gentle, but I can also accommodate pets who prefer their own space. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, whether that means scheduled walks, mealtime routines, or just extra snuggles. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their pet’s environment familiar and stress-free. I follow all provided instructions carefully, maintain their usual routine, and send regular updates so pet parents have peace of mind. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, medication, or just companionship, I ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away.

About: I’ve been a house sitter and dog walker for other people for years, while also taking care of family rescues also! Puppies and kitties of all ages and sizes, from Great Danes to Bichon! I’m currently studying so some fur friends to keep me company are very welcome! My days are very busy, so I’m mostly available on night sits, otherwise drop in sits are good! I’m very attentive and caring, good at cleaning up after the pups and cleaning the house. Walking them and very good about handling strong dogs on walks, never getting angry at them.

About: Being around animals makes me happy! My volunteer trainings and the past experiences of being around animals and genuine patience and empathy can give the best care to your fur babies that come my way. I have volunteered with local animal rescues since 2007, and am currently on the board of a small NY based rescue. I am a cat lady at heart but adore all animals! As a flight attendant and have been flying professionally since 1997, I know the anxious feeling of being away from my fur babies and missing them so so well (longest period was a month) where the only thing that gave me solace were the numerous pictures and descriptive texts from my sitter. I would like to provide that comfort for you when you are away from them. Please contact me whenever you need someone punctual and reliable, and enjoy giving updates to the pawrents to ease their heart! Pet care is my daily life. I do not have a problem at all making the life about the fur babies because it is. It's true that I work to give them a better life! Just by being loving and trying to give them what they need at the time they ask for it! Also for the owners I will give as many pictures and update texts as they want (because for me, it was more the better when I was on the road). Being safe and having trust is the very base of what I represent and that is nonnegotiable.

“Levi did an incredible job with my 8 year old reserved Boxer, Roo. I contacted Levi within a few days of needing someone to help walk and feed her, and they quickly responded and eagerly accepted. My pup is on a special homemade diet for her kidney disease, and Levi followed all instructions and made sure Roo was taken care of. If you need a trusted person to look after your beloved pets, they are in safe hands with Levi! 100% recommend and I will for sure be booking with them again! :) Thanks again, Levi!”
