About: Hi there! I am so excited to finally be making my pet-sitting official with Rover. I am still new-ish to the area after having moved back in with my parents a little less than a year ago (originally from New Jersey, then moved to California for college and work). I have had the pleasure of taking care of my family dog (Winnie the Cavapoo) since we got her 9 years ago. Hanging out with her is one of my favorite things to do, and she truly makes each day better with every walk we go on and every cuddle we share. I've also gotten to dog-sit for some of my best friends and locals while I was in college, and it really helped me whenever I was missing my Winnie girl! My only hope is to provide you with peace of mind that your pup is in good hands with me! My schedule is pretty wide open and flexible! If there is a time/day on my schedule that looks unavailable, message me and I'll see if I can move things around to make it work (as I share a car with a family member). If you need me to come over and pet-sit at your home, I will respect all the rules you provide me with so you are comfortable with having me in your home while I watch your fur baby. Please let me know in advance to your booking if your pet is allowed on furniture, or in certain areas of your home, and what/where are absolute no-go's, so I can remember to keep them away from those areas. If you use a crate with them, please let me know how you use it with them - if they must be crated the entirety of time while indoors aside from meal and potty times, or if for certain periods of time. If you have a backyard that is fenced and secure, I am comfortable with letting them of their leash (if you permit it) so they have free reign to run around, but if it is not an enclosed space, I am not comfortable letting them off their leash, even if they are trained perfectly - just want to be safe and take all the precautions I can to make sure they are safe while with me!

“Janet was perfect. Punctual, knowledgable and the dogs liked her. She asked intelligent questions about my dog's care, I will use her again.”

“Amazing! She helped me feel very comfortable for my first time!”

About: I live in an 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. My roommate has six ferrets and they each hold a little piece of my heart. I give them medication when she is stuck at work late, and let them out to play. They are such curious and playful little creatures! 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.

“Thank you so much for walking the dogs! Loved the pictures of them and the update you provided to me about how they did. Duke loves to mark his territory lol sorry about that! Glad they enjoyed you and their walk!”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for the last 1( years, all over 40lbs. I’m also familiar with dealing with reactive dogs, I was social distancing well before that was a thing 😃. I’ve taken care of my parent’s cat for the last 2 years and I’m comfortable with changing cat litter. I look forward to meeting you and your pups/kittens. I’m currently in school on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, after 5pm. The rest of my schedule is open to provide the service your pet needs. I will always keep safety first, follow all instructions prescribed by the customer, be on-time and provide the service your fur baby needs. In addition, I’m open to any communication that the pet owner requires, phone call, FaceTime or just text message to keep them updated on their pets well-being.

“Norma seems to sense that Alphonse is on his way lo take her for a walk and when he arrives her reaction says it all! She’s a very happy pup! Alphonse is always on time and very responsive to any communication between us. If you need a great dog walker, contact him. I promise you won’t be disappointed!”

“Dorene is wonderful with Samson! He loves his walks with her. He's a big black lab who's 14 years old, and she watches him carefully to make sure she's going his pace. She's great with communication, too. I highly recommend her!”

“Thank you as always for being so great with June! And always making sure it is not too hot out for her. We appreciate your flexibility so much more than you know!!”

Jennifer L.

“Great experience with Jack will definitely use him again-especially thankful for his last minute help. He even brushed them out after the walk on the porch. Very nice 👍”

About: I’ve had a love for animals since I was small. This kept me active as a volunteer in animal shelters throughout high school, in addition to being a reliable sitter for my family and friends’ fur babies. I would love to go on walks and give lots of love to your furry friend(s) whenever you need! Please check my availability through my calendar! I update it consistently. I am full time studying at home postgrad, so I have a very flexible schedule! I will be diligent in keeping your dog safe by walking with a leash and always keeping a close eye on them. I have no other pets at home and am graduated, so your pet will get my full attention.

“Very responsive, and was super helpful on a short notice. Dorothy did a great job with my high energy staffy.”

“Lyssa has been absolutely wonderful with my mom’s dog, Satch. She stepped in to help after my mom’s knee surgery and made everything so much easier. Lyssa is caring, reliable, and clearly loves spending time with Satch—he always comes back happy and relaxed from their walks. My mom and Satch both look forward to her visits, and the updates and photos she sends are such a thoughtful touch. We can’t recommend Lyssa enough for anyone looking for a compassionate, trustworthy dog walker!”

About: My name is Kaileigh and I live in the Pingree Grove area. I have been around dogs my entire life! Before moving into my town home I would house sit my family, friends and co-workers dogs. Just looking for a little extra cash on the side and what better way to do that then walking dogs! I love being outside and will take your dog on a walk for however long you would like. I am super friendly and outgoing. I do work a full time job over in Elgin, IL so I'm looking for walking gigs in the evening or anytime during the weekends. I do not currently have a dog because of my small living space and full time hours, I just feel too bad which is why I think Rover is such a great service! I will love and care for your pet just as much as you do.

About: I have been around cats and dogs most of my life, and have had my own dogs for 10+ years. Right now I have three- a tiny Chihuahua, a medium Carolina mix, and a HUGE Rhodesian Ridgeback. I trained them myself and they are my whole world! I would be happy to work on some training with your dog, I really have a passion for it.💜 And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." Matthew 22:37 I work full-time, so I'm mostly available in the evenings. I am usually off on Sunday and Monday or Sunday and Friday so I have more time on those days. I can do whatever is required for each specific dog. I have no problem getting dogs in and out of crates, walking any size dog while working on leash manners if desired by the owner, feeding and playing, whatever your pup needs!

“Elodie is kind, reliable and so very caring! Her thoughtfulness has been so appreciated by my family (and most importantly, our pup)!”

About: I've loved dogs my whole life and have owned three of my own, giving me firsthand experience with their daily care, exercise, and companionship. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've looked after dogs and cats for family members, friends, and neighbors. I also have cared for two mini doodles for several weeks over the past few summers, along with the families pet lizard and guinea pig. Additionally, I regularly volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I walk and play with dogs of all sizes and help feed and socialize cats. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to check in on your pets throughout the day! I can also take your dogs out for walks, multiple times a day if needed. I will follow instructions you leave to make sure I am giving your pets everything they need. I have no problem taking dogs to dog parks or for long walks depending on their needs.

About: As a dedicated pet parent for over 10 years, I know that your dog isn't just a pet—they’re family. My world revolves around my own dog; from planning my daily schedule to ensure she’s active and happy, to traveling the country together, she is my top priority. Now, I’d love to bring that same level of devotion to your furry friend! Whether it's ensuring they get plenty of exercise or just providing some extra love while you're away, I'll treat your pup with the same 'number one' status I give my own. I can't wait to meet your adventure buddy! Because I am currently home full-time, pet care is my primary focus throughout the day. My schedule is exceptionally flexible, allowing me to prioritize your pet's specific needs—whether that’s mid-day walks, consistent potty breaks, or providing companionship for dogs with separation anxiety. Your pet won’t be fitting into a 'gap' in my day; they will be the center of my routine. I provide personalized care by tailoring my approach to each pet’s unique life stage and energy level. When visiting a client’s home, I strictly follow their established feeding and exercise routines to minimize stress. Whether it’s providing high-energy play for a puppy or gentle companionship and medication for a senior, I adapt my care style to ensure they feel secure and loved in any setting.
