Dog Sitting Homer Glen

“Thank you Courtney for taking such good care of our kitty. Communication with you was great and we highly recommend you to anyone looking for a cat sitter. We appreciate the pics sent each day. It was very reassuring, particularly since this was the first time we used Rover. Will definitely contact you in the future if the need arises.”

About: As a veterinary student, I bring a calm, knowledgeable, and detail oriented approach to every pet I care for. My background gives me a strong foundation in animal behavior, so I’m comfortable reading body language, recognizing stress signals, and creating a low stress, positive environment for pets of all personalities. I also have hands‑on experience with senior pet care, including medication administration, mobility support, and adapting routines to keep older pets comfortable and happy. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to the small details that help pets feel safe and understood. I’m currently on summer break, which means my schedule is wide open and very flexible. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to plan my day around your pet’s needs rather than the other way around. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I make sure each visit is calm, unhurried, and focused entirely on your pet. Because I’m not in classes right now, I can offer consistent routines, extra attention, and plenty of time for enrichment, walks, or quiet companionship. Your pet gets reliable care, and you get peace of mind knowing they’re with someone who’s fully present and attentive. My background has trained me to read animal behavior and stress signals, so I always approach pets gently and at their comfort level. I follow your care instructions closely; feeding routines, medications, enrichment, litter box care, and any house rules you have. I double check doors, gates, and latches every visit to keep your pet secure. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and make sure everything is exactly as you left it. During visits, I prioritize low stress handling, clean water, safe play, and a calm environment. I pay attention to changes in appetite, behavior, or energy so I can update you right away. You’ll always get clear communication and detailed updates, because trust and transparency matter.

“Caraline was absolutely outstanding. She was reliable, professional, communicative, and took excellent care of Luna while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Luna and treated her as if she were her own pet. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and caring, I highly recommend Caraline. Luna and I would gladly book with her again in the future. Thank you for everything! 🐾😊”

I will treat them as my own! I have experience with a variety of household pets including dogs, cats, reptiles, Guinea pigs, hamsters, and birds. Animals are truly special creatures that deserve our utmost respect and care and it is my privilege to take care of yours.

I can come to you but cannot do overnights. I will take detailed notes on your instructions and follow through on each step. I want your animals to feel as comfortable as possible while you are gone. For dog walking, I am very experienced at handling even the most energetic dog!

About: I have pet sit for over 10 years. I can stay in your home or make frequent visits throughout the day. I love going on walks, playing with the dog, and being their best friend! I will send picture updates throughout the day. I am able to give dogs medication if needed. I have had long term clients for years now who keep coming back. I currently have a full time job working in a school but am off during the summer time which gives me more availability to hangout with your pups! I am able to watch pets in their own home or make multiple visits throughout the day, whichever the owner is more comfortable with. I am able to spend the night as well. I send daily pictures to the owner with updates as well throughout the days I am watching the dog.

About: Hi there! I’m Mia. I have a passion for pets of all sizes and breeds. I am excited to be able to help you by caring for your pets while you are away. Your babies will be cared for and loved just as if they were my own. I have had bunnies, dogs, birds, lizards, turtles, cats, and ducks though out my life. I love animals, and I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pets. Currently with summer here I’ll have plenty of time to play and care for your pups! I’m available for drop ins and walks on weekdays, and weekends vary. I have a big open yard but sadly I will not be available for boarding. I will be doing walks or drop ins if wanted. I personally love playing with pups outdoors with toys or anything available.

“She took great care of my dog, and she sent me great pictures from her visit. She sent me updates of how the visit went. I would hire her again.”

“Bradlei has been amazing! My dog takes a while to warm up to new people and she’s not only been kind, but patient and understanding to his needs. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to have their fur babies taken care of without having to worry!”

About: I am a kennel technician at my local shelter and a current animal science student at the University of Illinois. I love all dogs and cats, especially those who need a little extra help! I’ve had great pet sitters for my past dog and would love to pass that on. I work part-time at the shelter currently. This is like my other part-time job. I am very flexible in my schedule and can most likely work around your schedule. I have two brothers in my home that also love animals. My dog also loves to have company. I do not have a fence, but I do have a large field and long tie-outs that I supervise the dogs on.

About: I have been in this field for about 4 years so I can give medications if needed. I love my job, it’s very rewarding and I love all kinds of pets. Big, little, medium. I have always been a big lover of big dogs! I specialize in anxious dogs as I do have one of my own. I work full time 3 days a week 12 hour shifts Which gives me 4 days out of the week to enjoy my life and spend time with my pets as well. Our dogs in my home have free rage of the house. Water is out 24/7. They are constantly getting pets and play time with one of my family members.

About: My family has 2 dogs, one we’ve had for almost 10 years and another we’ve had for about 2 years. I have been watching dogs in my neighborhood for about 10 years. I have mostly conducted drop in visits but have walked dogs on occasion. For a little over 2 years I worked at a doggy daycare where I gained experience administered medications to dogs. Drop-ins and walks can easily be fit into my schedule. I can sometimes be flexible with times but days are set in stone. If something comes up or I feel I will be late for a drop-in or walk I will be sure to let you know as soon as possible. For drop-ins I will follow requests as closely as I can. If there is any medication that needs to be administered I am unfortunately only comfortable administering oral medications. With walks I can either bring my own bags or you can provide them just let me know in advance. For both of these services I require a meet and greet before the services begin so that you dog(s) can become familiar with me and we can go over any necessary info.

About: I've been helping care for animals for as long as I can remember! I have helped my family pet sit, volunteered at the animal shelter, and genuinely enjoy the company of animals. I am currently working as a freelance artist! Between gigs I have lots of flexible time to come take care of your pets. I am available for drop-ins/walks most days of the week, and I usually have some weekend availability! It's a priority of mine to establish trust with your animals! I am very keen on body language and other behavioral cues that allow me to meet your pets where they're at. If there are special instructions for an animal, I make sure to follow them to the letter.

About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience in pet care, I understand that every pet has their own unique needs. I pride myself on having a strong sense of animal behavior and adjusting care accordingly to each individual pet’s temperament. I have a great deal of experience with senior pets and/or pets with a strict medication regimen. I understand that these animals often need additional patience and compassion and I am always striving to reliably provide such care. This includes administering edible, topical, and injectable medications. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes as well as cats and small animals (birds, fish, reptiles, etc) so you can rest assured that your beloved critters are in good hands! I do my best to be communicative so I am always willing to discuss any additional details or concerns with my clients. My main goal in pet care is to provide reliable and respectful service that keeps your furry friend happy and gives you peace of mind in knowing they are properly cared for while you are away. I hope that I get to meet you and your pets very soon! Pet care is currently my main focus so my weekly schedule is almost always open. I am extremely flexible with scheduling which means I will be available to do reoccurring visits or extended pet sitting if need be. I have my own transportation so I am happy to make visits that are a bit out of my area as well. I have worked in professional pet care for 7+ years which has including both daily dog walking and overnight house-sitting. Being respectful of my client’s pets and their homes is of utmost importance to me. As well as pet sitting I am more than happy to take on other house-sitting responsibilities such as watering plants and bringing in mail/packages. I always appreciate strong communication and always do my best to provide prompt updates while you are away

About: From growing up in a home that always had pets, I have cared for various animals my entire life. From my own personal experience, I have cared for puppies, adults, and senior dogs. This has provided me with experience in general and specialized care. Specifically, I have puppy/potty trained, provided various medications, and grooming/bathing. I have worked with animals of various sizes and breeds. Neighbors, friends, and families have trusted me to not only ensure that their animal was cared for, but that their house was as well. I am a huge animal lover that you can trust to make sure your fur-family member is not just cared for, but loved while you are away! As a School Psychologist, I work the standard school year schedule with various breaks. This includes high levels of availability and flexibility throughout the summer and around holidays. Growing up, we would take out dogs outside on a leash for them to use the bathroom. Currently, we have a gated area that our dogs can use to relieve themselves and enjoy the fresh air. Additionally, a we also have leads that our cats are connected to so that they can also enjoy the outside air while ensuring their safety from predators and triggers of fear. When leashed, our animals wear harnesses as this is safer for them not only medically, but socially as well. A harness also decreases the chances and opportunities for them to slip out and run away.

About: Having 2 dogs myself, I have hands-on experience with day-to-day care such as giving walks, basic daily routines, giving them some love and recognizing different moods and needs. As someone who works with children with autism, I’m attentive, responsible, and understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own! I’m a full time RBT (registered behavior technician) so during the week I am available after 5 pm and completely open during the weekends. As being a sitter at clients’ house, I treat every home and pet with respect and will keep the environment clean and calm. I always follow the owner’s instructions very carefully to keep everyone calm and stress free. I always am super attentive and make sure your pet is in the best care while being carefully supervised. For my clients: my goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure while your away, just like you never left.

About: Hi! I’ve been on and off Rover for a few years and have been a dog lover my entire life. I grew up with dogs and currently have an 80-pound German Shepherd mix that I rescued while living in Colorado. Whether your pup loves long walks, runs, playing fetch, or a good game of tug-of-war, I’m always happy to match their energy and make sure they have a great time. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member, and I’ll treat your dog like one of my own while they’re in my care. Feel free to message me with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! have a pretty flexible schedule and am happy to work with you to find times that fit both your needs and your pet’s routine. Whether you need regular walks, drop-in visits, or occasional help, I’d love to see if we can make it work! I am currently not offering care for your pets at my home. I will always treat your home with respect and follow any instructions you give on how to care for you dog.

“Goes above and beyond. Jaime is excellent!!”

About: I’ve had such a variety of animal care in my life! I work as a wildlife keeper and have a zoo of my own. I have 3 dogs, 4 cats, a fish, and 2 birds! Elderly animals hold a special place in my heart and I’m comfortable with medications/clinic care as well. Hire me if your pets need an excessive amount of love! During the colder seasons, I have flexible hours and only work 30 hour weeks. I can’t get enough when it comes to animals and animal care in general. Everyday I find joy in taking care of animals, whether that means my own, my patients, or yours! Having so many animas of my own, I’m very familiar in animal behavior and safety. I’ve dealt with reactive dogs of my own and balancing cat dynamics. I have experience in doggy daycare as well and would have 20+ dogs under my supervision at a time.

“Jennifer was great. She took care of my cat beautifully, and kept in touch with me so that I knew what was happening every day. I would definitely use her again!”
