Dog Sitting in Ingalls

About: I grew up with dogs and cats all through childhood. I currently have two dogs, a Husky I have had for 5 years and a Dutch Shepherd I have had for 3 years. I previously also had a German Shepherd for 7 years who passed away from degenerative myopathy. All 3 of my pups have been rescues. I love animals of all shapes and sizes. My dogs are my family and I would treat your pets the same any time I took care of them 😊 I work nights on a rotating schedule (12 hour days) so I’m fully available on all days off and available in the late morning/afternoons on the days I work. My dogs are very friendly and love other dogs. My previous dog was senior with severe degenerative myelopathy, so I have experience caring for pups with physical issues and limitations.

“Heather and her family were great! I enjoyed receiving updates regarding the visit along with photos. Houston seems like he really enjoyed his company and play time”

“Mackenzie was so amazing and reliable. We booked last minute and she handled everything perfectly and sent us so many pictures of our fur babies. In a pinch, she made leaving our babes feel so stress-free. We will 100% be booking again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“Man am I grateful to have found Brittney! Reliable, knowledgeable and responsive! It is so comforting to know I can leave my big crazy puppy and old grumpy dog in her hands! Whew, what a relief. Stef L.”

“Jasmine looked in on Madison all week. This is the first time Madison was alone so I was especially nervous. She took direction well and made necessary adjustments to make sure Madison as as comfortable as possible. I will be re-booking!”

About: I’ve worked with repeat clients for years, they come back due to my attention to detail and ability to communicate! I have a 4 year old golden retriever I’ve had since puppy hood and live in a large house with a fenced in yard. :) I work from home 90% of the month, so I’m mostly home to take care of your fur baby! Look no further than ole’ Adam I do all the things, I give medicine if needed, I walk the pups, provide treats, love, and a warm home for your best friend.

About: I've always loved dogs, and had a couple Border Collie/Sheltie mix dogs as a kid. My friends regularly relied on me to watch their dogs growing up. Dogs know when people really care about them, and I'm sure that's why they've always gotten along with me. I'm currently working part-time in the mornings, but weekday afternoons after 2:30pm are open! I am looking to schedule a few afternoons a week caring for your furry companions. I have a very large fenced-in yard with a good-sized doghouse in the back, and a gentle 3 year old girl that shares my love for dogs.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have hands on experience with puppies, high energy dogs, and caring for multiple dogs at once. I work part time at a dog grooming shop as a bather, I interact with many different dogs. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and ability to adapt to each dog’s unique personality and routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, bathing, basic training reinforcement, and giving dogs plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I genuinely treat every pet like my own and focus on making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits into my schedule as I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible but structured routine. I’m able to balance my job while still making time for pet care during my off days, mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m reliable with planning ahead so I can make sure each pet gets consistent attention, walks, and care without feeling rushed. Even with a part-time job, I prioritize being fully present and dependable when I’m caring for animals. In my client’s home, I always follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their normal routine. I make sure pets are safe, supervised, and never left unattended for long periods. I keep water fresh, follow feeding schedules, and provide regular walks, playtime, and attention. I’m careful with doors, leashes, and any safety concerns to prevent escapes or accidents. I also respect the home by keeping it clean, organized, and treating it with care, just like I would my own.

About: I have lived with either a cat or dog most of my life and worked for the last 5 years at a doggy daycare/boarding facility with all types and sizes of dogs. I dog sit for my parents a few times a year also. I also have 3 dogs at home that are big mama's babies. My job just shut down so I have plenty of time to walk dogs and check in on your loved ones. When I'm at home I hang out with my babies more than my human family. All my dogs are big mama's babies because of all the love I offer to them. I love making every dog feel special and loved no matter what breed.

About: Hi! My name is Aimee :) I am a recent graduate from NYU! I am home most of the day as I work from home, so I am easily accessible for your pet! I have a golden lab back home in Indiana with my family, and I’m looking to take care of sweet pups while I’m in the city so I can still feel the joy of having a furry friend around while I’m away! I’ve had experience caring for my dog and dog sitting for family, friends, neighbors and rover now for a total of 12 years! It’s absolutely one of my favorite past times and would love to have it as my forever job! I’m well versed in a dog who likes to run after squirrels on walks ;) and those who need special attention to feel comfortable! I would love to take care of your sweet doggie! Their time with me will be filled with love, snuggles and lots of pictures! :) Your pet will never have to be alone for long! I am happy to take dogs on multiple walks a day and make sure to follow their routines closely. I live next to Mccarren park and am more than glad to take pups for some fun time! I always make sure to doggie proof my apartment before visits and am aware of my surroundings during stays. I live on the first floor of my apartment so going out for walks is quick and easy. I make sure to include a lot of play time and snuggles during care to insure pups are as happy as can be.

“Maria is highly dependable and knows exactly how to care for your fur baby when you are away.”

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends dogs since I was a teenager. I have experience with high needs senior dogs and reactive, energetic dogs. I believe in the science behind a sniff walk for a dog, where you walk leisurely and let them sniff everything they please (within reason) as it stimulates their brain as much as a run would! I have a flexible work from hoke schedule so can be an outlet for doggies/kitties for parents who have high need jobs or are away for long periods of time I am very responsive to trust behaviors in pets, I will not pass a boundary for reactive dogs or cats. I have the flexibility to meet clients at their home for care

About: I use to have 2 cats and I’ve taken care of 4 dogs in my life and my friends had me walk their dog before when I was 10. I have a job that gives me kind of hours and I do everyday except Wednesday and Saturdays. I love walking too and walk my own dog. I love animals. I use to have a bearded dragon, a dog, 2 cats, a Guinea pig, a hamster, a mouse. Now I have a dog and a leopard gecko and maybe another dog.

About: I have had dogs and cats virtually my whole life. I am very experienced in feeding, giving pills, taking pets outside, etc. I have worked at Fishers Veterinary Hospital for a little under a year now as part of the patient care team. I am heading off to IU in the fall to major in Biology with a Pre-Vet track. I would love to help care for your pets! I currently work part-time at a veterinary hospital and receive my schedule a month in advance. Because of this, I can usually plan ahead and provide reliable availability. Feel free to reach out with your dates, and I’ll be happy to let you know if I’m available! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Through my experience working at a veterinary hospital, I have learned how to recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort and how to handle animals calmly and safely. I will carefully follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions and provide updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. I treat every pet with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I would want for my own pets.

About: I’ve always taken care of pets since I was a kid when friends or family went out of town. I love my own dog like my best friend and I always love playing with him and taking care of him. I’ve trained my dogs myself and I always love it! Happy to help in any way you may need. I work on tuesdays and thursdays and as a musician I play piano in my free time. I’m free 24/7 except for tuesday’s and thursday’s which i’m free after 2pm! At home I have a fence, a nice vest and leash for my very muscular dog, and I have trained him to where he’s capable of being off leash and at my side while walking!

About: I’ve cared for my own dog for 10 years, which taught me a lot about daily pet responsibilities and the bond animals form with us. For the past two years, I’ve also volunteered at the Humane Society, where I walk dogs, clean kennels, and help care for cats. This hands-on experience has helped me become confident handling a variety of animal temperaments and needs. I bring patience, attentiveness, and a real love for animals to every interaction. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and affection. I start my mornings with feeding and walking, followed by playtime or any special care needed throughout the day. Evenings are dedicated to another walk, meals, and winding down with cuddles or calm time. I maintain a flexible schedule to meet each pet’s unique needs. I prioritize safety by pet-proofing my environment, removing any harmful items, and creating a calm and clean space. I follow the pet parent’s instructions carefully and ensure routines are maintained. Whether in my home or theirs, I monitor pets closely, provide positive reinforcement, and keep them comfortable with familiar items like their toys or bedding. I also keep emergency contacts and a vet plan ready at all times.

“This was our first time ever using Rover and Megan did a fantastic job! We had an out of state event to attend and the sitter we had previously arranged fell through. Megan was extremely communicative and made me feel at ease about allowing a stranger care for our 2 dogs. Our dachshund/chow mix is a high-anxiety, whining car rider, so Megan dropping in on them made our overnight trip stress free! We cannot recommend her enough!”

About: I grew up with both big dogs and small dogs. My dogs were total oppositie ends of the spectrum; I had a fat, lazy, male Shihtzu named Duke, and a friendly, energetic male boxer named Felix. I also helped my brother care for his dog, named Jarvis, who is a rambunctious pug. I love being around dogs and getting to know their personalities while I provide the best care possible for them. I am a teacher, so I would be able to do drop-ins in the morning and then after school. I would be willing to walk your dog early AM as well as in the evening. If I were pet-sitting I would be more than willing to stay at your house if that is preferred. I am available all day Saturdays, and early mornings and evenings on Sundays. For my home I cannot have dogs since my roommates have cats, but I would be able to bring home cats. For dogs I would need to stay in the client's home if they would like me to pet-sit 24/7 unless they were okay with me doing multiple drop-ins. My house is right next to the Geist trail, so I would be able to take dogs on that trail if I am able to transport them to and fro.

“Steph did an amazing job taking care of my two fur babies! One of them is special needs because he went blind about a year and a half ago, and I was really nervous because I haven’t left him since this happened. I’ve only ever boarded my dogs before and I’m a first-time Rover user but I would absolutely book with Steph again. She followed instructions, sent updates, and went above and beyond. Thank you so so much!”

About: I actually started watching dogs and cats for families I was babysitting and nannying for while they were out of town about four years ago. About 90% of my experience is with extended dog sitting in the owners home. While watching the dogs I not only let them out to potty but also walk them, play with them, and clean up any messes whether chewed or accidents that may occur! I have some owners who like me to stay overnight and others who do not and I am completely okay with either way. I am also comfortable administering medicine or changing bandages. I am always up for taking your dog places too, a dog park or for a bath or simple for a drive! I’m comfortable with cats, dogs, and a plethora of other animals. I can care for any of your loving animals! I hope to get to know you and your fur babies in the future! I currently am a stay at home mom. I have one school age child and a toddler. I am looking for bookings to be able to stay at home with my girls (and my two pups of course). School drop off/pick up is for a short time in the morning and in the late afternoon. Any walks or drop-ins would be scheduled around school drop off and pick up times! I care for pets as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This can look like feeding on schedule, giving fresh water, administering medications if needed. Each visit includes some play and cuddles too so they feel just as loved as when you are there!
