Cat Sitting in Helmar

“Renee is amazing! This was the first time I've left my dogs with someone they don't know and she totally rocked! One dog has separation anxiety and the other takes weeks to warm up to anybody new. Renee won both of them over very quickly and almost illuminated my anxiety of leaving them alone. I highly recommend her! Thank you Renee!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life from big dogs to small. I love walking my own dogs in forest preserves and I have dog-sat my neighbor’s dog before. I also worked at a pet store for a few months. I’m currently in school and have a part time job, but my mornings during the weekdays from 6 am to 11am are free to walk your dogs. I currently don’t offer pet care in my home, but I’m happy to travel to you. I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while in their own home. I follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. I can also send updates and photos so you know they’re doing great while you’re away.

About: I have worked at a boarding/ doggie daycare facility for over 10 years! I have knowledge on giving meds and going the lengths for your pets to get to know me and be comfortable in their own environment. I am known as an animal whisperer cause dogs that may have trouble with others I attract! I am free in the mornings typically and usually all weekends I have 2 dogs of my own that I care for. I mostly work nights so I get off around 8:30 but the rest of the night I am free for any late night needs I take care of your fur babies as if they were my own with any instructions you may have. If they have a schedule I like to stick with it

About: I have had pet dogs and cats my whole life, and they have always been a cherished part of my family. I currently live in a non-pet-friendly apartment building, so Rover gives me the opportunity to care for pets while I can’t have one of my own. I work at a warehouse on second shift, so I am gone in the evenings and head back home around 1am. When housesitting, I’m able to provide care to your pets during the day until I leave for work at 3:30 pm i will do my best to adhere to your normal routine with your pets, and ensure that they are exercised, fed, and pottied before I leave for work. It is my goal to adhere to your pets’ normal routine as much as possible. When I am watching someone’s pets for the first time, I request details about their schedule, eating and play habits, special quirks, etc so that I am prepared to give them consistent and attentive care.

“Amber was so wonderful with our dog Kermit. He couldn’t wait for her to come back each visit. He would wait by the door for her. She gave him lots of love and attention and will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you!!!”

“Eliana was absolutely amazing with Duke. This was my first time using Rover and Duke had only been home for a few days, so I was honestly a little nervous — but she went above and beyond and made the entire experience stress-free. She was extremely attentive, followed all instructions, and kept me updated with messages, pictures, and videos which I really appreciated. What really stood out was her initiative — when she couldn’t reach me, she made sure Duke was still taken care of without hesitation, even going as far as getting him food. She also got Duke puppy training treats and a toy (a blue whale) that he now loves more than all his other toys — which really shows how much she paid attention to him and cared for him. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. Duke was happy, safe, and well taken care of the entire time. I would 100% book with Eliana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and truly dedicated.”

About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals! Currently have 3 loving and friendly dog along with 1 cat! They love when friends come over and they have someone to play with! We go on walks, love to be outside in our fenced in our back yard and snuggling up on the couch! My fur babies and I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I do have 3 children so being good around kids for stays with me is a must! Thank you! I am currently a full time stay at home mom, so I will be home with your pets all day long! We like to spend a lot of the day out in the fenced in backyard, and getting cozy on the couch afterwards for a nap! We have a monthly bark box subscription, so we have plenty of toys to play with! I have a big fenced in yard, and sweet dogs, eager to meet some new friends to play with! We do not have crates at my home, but always welcome to stay consistent with your preference of crate training if necessary!

About: Glad to meet you! I took a bit of a break from Rover after buying a home and raising two boys, but I'm back to help with your furry friends. I've been a dog owner since I was five years old and have always been quick to make friends with new animals. I'm easy-going and get a lot of energy from being around animals. Hopefully, I get a chance to meet yours! Whether it is cold morning walks or just company, I'm happy to take care of anything your pet needs. Thank you for taking the time to consider me! I respond quickly and am ready to start now. Thank you for your time and consideration. Take care! My sons are very active with two family pets of varying sizes. We work on creating bonds between them, particularly with one being a service dog. We are frequently helping with feeding, housing, and other care. I always strive to adhere to guidelines set forth by the owner, treating each animal with care based on their personality and temperament. If they are more social, I'm happy to give them some fun company. If they are more cautious or shy, I can work within boundaries to give your pet what they need.

About: From dogs to turtles to birds. I grew up with animals all my life. I have my own young pup and senior dog. I truly know the time it takes, walking/ exercising, food schedule, and love to give to both! I love love love animals, so I definitely want to incorporate pet sitting into my lifestyle; especially if it means I can help others during their travels and such. I’m a new mom, but I have a flexible schedule most days! If my hubby works during the time of your pet’s care, I will have to bring the baby so he’s not left alone. I know the value in crate training, potty/ food schedules if need be, being in a comfortable space for your pet, and anything to maintain their sanctuary at home.

“Erin is amazing!!! She was able to help out when we had a last minute family emergency pop up. She is great about communicating and sends photos and updates. She even plays with our dogs (even loved on our kitty who was not part of the drop in). 10/10!!”

“Sarah did a great job with our two cats - Bonnie & Clyde while we were away on vacation. We received daily updates from her about our babies and her communication with me while we were gone was excellent!! We will definitely be using Sarah again in the future. Thank you 😊”

About: I've fostered dogs for years, but i currently work at a dog boarding/daycare facility so I have a good idea of how to take care of animals properly. I have a full time job at a dog kennel, but I'm very open outside of that. Do to me working semi long hours, it may be a longer time between potty breaks. I have a big yard, however it's not fenced it. I would prefer to take care of the pets in their home rather than my own.

“Kimberly was amazing. She did drop in visits for a week for my two dogs and took excellent care of them. She is professional, courteous and communicative. I highly recommend her!”

Christine W.

“Shelley was great! She kept me updated and my pup likes her. Definitely use her again.”

Jarred H.

“Thank you so much for taking care of Quinn. She really seems happy when you are there.”

About: I love all kind of pets. Since I was a kid I was taking care of - hamsters, cats, dogs and birds. I can’t imagine house without a pet, I will take care of your pet with all my love :) I am stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to take care of your pup or cat! I have 2 girls who love all kind of pet and helps me to entertain pets :) I have big fenced yard, one senior friendly dog and 2 sweet cats. Also I can crate mine dog or your only if needed. I’ll do everything that your dog would be safe and feel like home :)

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have three large dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience helping raise and train puppies, including one who recently turned one year old, and I’m comfortable with everything from feeding schedules and administering medications to walks, playtime, treats, and cleaning up after pets. As a student-athlete home for the summer, I’d love to spend my extra time caring for animals and giving them the attention they deserve. My love for pets started at a young age—I even ran a homemade dog treat business to help earn money for my first two puppies! Since then, I’ve always enjoyed spending time with animals and treating them like family. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility throughout the day to provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and companionship. As a student-athlete, I’m used to managing a busy schedule and staying organized, so I always make sure pets receive reliable and consistent care. Between work shifts and practices, I have plenty of availability to give pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I believe pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on providing care in my clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and lots of love and attention. My goal is to keep pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I do not offer boarding in my home, but I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, walks, and in-home care tailored to your pet’s needs.
