Dog Sitting in Homewood

“Kelera is so awesome!!! So friendly, professional, and helpful. Not only did she take care of the basics for our kitties while we were gone but she went above and beyond to help them get comfortable around her and communicate how they were doing. Excellent service, communication, and care! Thank you again Kelera, we will be in touch again soon 🙂”

About: I have had and been around dogs since I was a child. Dogs seem to come to me naturally; without fear or hesitation. I honestly believe this is because I approach them with ease and am not forceful. It seemed like a natural step for me to join the Rover community. Ive also been a dog owner and currently have Jazzy who is my beloved Boston Terrier Mix with a big personality and sweet nature. Jazzy and I chose each other and its been an adventure ever since day one! she loves everyone but at times can be a little bossy. I'm well aware of who runs the household! I pride myself on ensuring that Jazzy stays healthy by giving her quality food and treats, Along with that she enjoys her fenced in yard and takes daily walks. We have lots of playtime and cuddles. I'll treat your dog as I would my own. That is my motto as I don't want you to worry or be concerned when you are away from your precious fur baby. I can't replace you, or would never try but rest assured your pet will receive all my tender loving care. I have had the opportunity to care for some dogs on Rover who have become regular clients. The owners have told me that they reach out to me first and hope that I am available. That is a huge compliment and I'm honored that I made such an impact on their four legged friend. All the pets I have met have their own unique personality and what I do as a sitter is simply take them for who they are which includes any little quirks. Canine or human, we all possess them. If you like what you see, let's schedule a meet and greet and see if I'm the right fit for your pet and their needs. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me and read my profile! I work remotely on a part time basis so can be available in the afternoon/evening and do pet sitting on the weekends away from my home. Well I make sure my dog Jazzy is loved and cared for each and every day. I give her good food and healthy treats. Daily walks and preventive meds to keep her healthy and strong.

About: My family has had dogs since I was young. I also pet sit for friends and family while they are away on trips. I will care for your pets as if they are my own! I am a teacher so I am off during the summers. I do tutor but am happy to work with you to see what times will work best for us and your pets :) I am more than happy to play with your pets inside (and outside if able) your home, crate if necessary and take walks as needed.

“Victoria has been great with Sierra. She was able to make a very shy 4 month old puppy feel comfortable and happy right away. Now Sierra gets so excited when Victoria comes to let her out, walk her and play with her. Communication has been great and she’s always on time to let Sierra out. Looking forward to Sierra having a long-term loving pet sitter.”

About: With years of caring for dogs, cats, and everything in between, I’ve learned that every pet deserves more than just food and water. They deserve love, attention, and a sense of home while you’re away. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, quirks, and routines so they feel comfortable and safe. Whether it’s extra cuddle time on the couch, long walks to burn off energy, or gentle reassurance for anxious pets, I’m here to make their day brighter. I’m currently working until 4:30pm during weekdays and am fully open on weekends. I’m happy to adapt to your scheduling needs and help your fur babies. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions to the letter and keep your pet’s routine consistent so they feel secure. As a lifelong pet owner and experienced pet sitter, I’m ultra-vigilant about their safety, health, and comfort, always watching for changes in behavior, energy, or appetite. I’m also highly respectful of your space, treating your home with the same care and attention I give to your pet. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, litter scooping, or quiet companionship, my goal is to make sure your pet feels loved and your home is just as you left it.

About: I am a Veterinarian Technician with 7 years experience. I graduated from Fox college Vet Tech Institute and working with animals is my passion. I have experience working with Dogs, Cats, Rodents, Rabbits, Exotics, and Birds. I offer additional care for seniors pets (Ex: taking them on shorter more frequent walks) and pets who have health concerns. (Ex: Giving medications). Book with me and your pet will be in great hands! I am available 7 days a week! I offer Early morning walks, afternoon walks, evening walks, and night time walks. What ever time works for you most likely works for me! I live in an animal friendly apartment! I have a large kennel if your pet prefers to sleep in one. I have a big field of grass behind me for leash walks / play time.

“Marissa was great! She arrived on time to meet my little pups before I went out of town, and also arrived on time the day I scheduled for her to come let them out. She played with them, took them for a walk, fed them, and changed out a potty pad.”

“Bayli did a wonderful job with my pups!! We had her come for several home visits a day to care for my senior dogs. She was fantastic about sending me great photos of them and giving them lots of love. I was nervous to leave them as one of my dogs has an illness that requires some special care. Bayli took such good care of her that I was able to be away from home without being constantly worried. I would use her again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend her services, I was very impressed!”

About: Dogs just get me! I have a heart and home for dogs and I would love to host your fur baby. I have a yard and a spacious park close by for your fur baby to exercise. Old Plank Trail is around the corner too if your baby enjoys long walks. My home does have stairs but the first floor has more than enough space for an older or heavier dog. Your baby would be free to get comfortable in our home and enjoy family time with us but don't worry, I’ll return him or her when it's time to go but they might have a new nickname. I look can do walks and daycare if you are interested. If you are looking for specific services please reach out directly. If you’d like to have your dog present during your special event I can help make that happen! I work from home so I’m available to take your pet in at any time. I can easily take time away for drop in visits and walks and I’m a present sitter. If your schedule changes during their stay I’m flexible with pick ups. PLEASE NOTE: I require bookings from new clients be made at least 5 days in advance. My dogs are friendly and will keep your fur baby company. I also have crates and security gates if your dog prefers their own space. Each dog has their own designated area for feeding as well.

About: We have always had pets growing up. Both cats and dogs. I've had a pit bull in my early teens and had also adopted a 10yr old senior dog. I have experience giving my senior medicine and being extra gentle when it is needed. I currently have a reactive German Shepherd so if you're looking for someone to watch your big dog that pulls a lot, I have tons of experience and am strong enough to hold him or her. Basically I have had experience with animals in different stages of their life. Im still learning as Odin has training classes and I use what I learn to help with other pets. I've watched pets for friends and family in the past and have done drop in visits for years now. I am able to travel further distances if you aren't able to find someone local just send a message. I do work full-time so I can come before or after work through out the week. I'm off two days out of the week and if you would like to schedule a weekly walk schedule or drop in visit I will work closely with you to make my schedule accommodating for your pet. Ex. If you would like a certain day or if the week for me to walk and visit your dog I can request those days off if far enough in advance. Currently I am not doing overnight visits or day care but it's important to keep pets on their original schedule. For drop-in visits and walks, I think it would be best to stick to their original route and if they don't yet have one, a walk with a nice game of fetch is usually good enough to tire them out a bit. I will always send pictures when your pet and I are on our adventures together.

For four years i volunteered at NAWS animal shelter in Mokena where i walked and scoialized with both cats and dogs. Also in that time i fostered 4 dogs til they could find proper homes.

Therefore she is walked by my family every morning and evening.
