About: I am a dog owner for the past 7 years and own two Setter pups. Friends have entrusted me with their dogs for petsitting and dog walking - in some occasions I would have as many as 4 dogs with me, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! As a dog parent I know how important is to have someone you trust with your baby, I will treat your dog as my own, making sure your dog is safe and happy! I mostly work from home during the week, which allows me to be flexible to go on a walk with your pup to get some fresh air or do a drop in visit to spend some time with them. When I drop in to check on your pup or take on a walk, I will always follow your instructions closely and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. During walks, I will keep a close eye on them, always be on leash, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise based on their energy level. Afterward, provide a quick pupdate so you know your pup is happy and well taken care of.

“Cathy started caring for our black lab, Wendy, last week. She responded so quickly to my messages and was able to do a meet and greet within days of my first message to her! Our dog loves Cathy and it’s been going really well when Cathy comes to let her out at lunchtime. I would definitely recommend Cathy to care for your pet! She has a lab of her own and a lot of experience.”


About: I have been a nanny/babysitter since I was in middle school and pet care goes hand in hand with that. I’ve taken care of all of my clients’ pets when they are out of town. I currently have my own fur baby (Hank the GSD) so I don’t do overnight pet sitting anymore but I am looking for drop in jobs in my area I am a full time nanny in Arlington heights so I am able to drop in before or after work and on the weekends to check on your pets. I work roughly 8am-5pm M-F I can come check on your pets and play with them. Make sure they have food/water and take them for short walks before work or longer walks after work. On the weekends I am able to stay longer to spend time with them but no overnights.

About: We only take dogs under 40lbs. I have a 5 acres property. 1 acre fenced in so dogs have a safe space to run and play. It is a dogs vacation paradise. My family and I love animals and love helping others. I am home full time to care for your pets like they are our own. I am excited to take care of them while you are away. We have a big family and lots of love to give. We only care for dogs under 40 pounds. This ensures your little furry family members are safe at our home. My property has paths through it and has lots of space. The dogs in our care get a vacation of their own while at our home.

“Alina was wonderful with our doggie and kitty! She took great care of their needs, including medicine, and was very affectionate with them. They loved her! We will definitely request her again in the future!”

Since i can choose my own working hours, i will make sure i take care of your pets in my free time I can guarantee a safe environment for your pets, follow their feeding and bathroom schedule , make sure they have fun on their little vacation

About: I’ve had dogs as pets since I was 5 years old, I love the companionship of pets, especially since I work from home. My last dog Pepper sadly left us after a beautiful 16 years and so I think this is a great way to keep that connection going. I work remotely and have the flexibility to be away from my desk often. I love going for walks around my neighbourhood with my son and being outdoors in general, I used to live in Florida! I live in a pet friendly neighbourhood, with a dog park a short walk away. I also have plenty of outdoor space within my own home for pets.

“Allison did an amazing job start to finish! She was responsive to our inquiry (on short notice) and was thorough preparing for her visits. Our kitty Noodle took to her right away and I knew in the moment it was going to great! I appreciated the updates and all the pictures! I would highly recommend Allison and I would definitely request her again in the future!”


About: Hi there! I’m Patrick, a dependable, pet-loving human who’s here to make sure your dog or cat feels safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and laid-back, I take the time to get to know them and treat them like family. I’ve worked with senior pets, puppies, and everything in between—including those who need medication, special diets, or extra patience. My goal is to keep your pet happy, healthy, and relaxed while you're away. Why Pet Parents Book Me: - Over 25 years of pet care experience - Calm, patient, and reliable - Great with shy or quirky pets - Flexible scheduling and last-minute availability - Committed to updates so you never feel out of the loop I work full time but can provide sitting care in afternoon or early evening and weekends. Will accommodate the owners and pets needs and comfort level with and in responsible manner. I treat all pets as if they were my own, they all deserve special attention and treat them like I would expect someone else to care for my own pet.

About: I've spent my entire life around pets and animals and have pet sat for a lot of family and friends before. I always have loved spending time with animals and taking care of them. My family has raised a Lab, Goldendoodle, and a German Shepard, we are all pet lovers and are all very caring. I'm available all nights and weekends, on weekdays I have a flexible school schedule that allows me to be home multiple times per day. I am a senior about to graduate so I am taking a small amount of classes. I am very attentive to the pets I have cared for in the past, as well as my current pets. I keep to a schedule for feeding, walking, play time, and letting the pets out multiple times a day. This helps keep things organized and routine. I make sure all is well and keep communicating with their owners. Sending photos and videos to ensure your pet is having a good time.

About: I have helped my best friend (of 17 years) with his current dog and late dog with feeding, walking, playing, staying overnight, staying for an extended time, cleaning up after messes in the house, everything I can think of. I am always eager to help out so that you do not need to stress about a single thing. I want you to be able to leave your house knowing that your pup is left in the best of hands. I can be serious when I need to for any disciplinary measures you might have in place to keep it consistent, and all the fun in the world as well to keep your pup entertained while you are away. I believe in keeping dogs active when they want to be and letting them rest when they want to as well. I have helped out my best friend with some foster dogs lately, including a current foster pittie, and with their own Rover dogs they watch at home. I currently still live with my parents who are allergic to most dogs, so I have to come to your place. I unfortunately cannot have dogs over. I hope I can be of service to you in the future, and I look forward to meeting many pups soon! I just got a job as a supervisor for a grocery store, so I will see if I have a set schedule or not so I can help out the most. I still intend to help out here on Rover :). I have a ton of doctors I see, so my weeks are a little goofy, but I will do my best to update my calendar to reflect my schedule ASAP! I spend a lot of time at my best friends' house right now (my best friend and his wife) watching their dog and feeding him when they are both working. They have also had their current foster over a month now, so I feed him and shower him with love as well. I grow attached to dogs' personalities. I have also trained dogs using training treats to sit, stay, "wait" and "free" for eating food, "wait" and "come" for treats, how to ring a bell on the back door for potty with the cue words "sit" "gentle" (tap the bells hanging on the door gentle with their nose) "thank you", paw, and down (lay down). I am not saying I would be able to do this with every dog, but if you wanted me to try to teach your dog anything, give me the challenge! I love a good challenge! I would like to make something clear that is very important for medical reasons (I even have the paperwork to prove it because of how ridiculous it sounds haha): I am extremely allergic to heat and can overheat/faint super easily (within 5 minutes usually) so walking your pup in 90°+ weather would be VERY difficult. But ALSO, I am DEATHLY allergic to extreme cold. The cold can kill me. But as long as I bundle up, I’m fine. So winter walks shouldn’t be much of an issue :). I will always make sure to clean up after every visit, I want to make that abundantly clear. I LOVE to clean, and I refuse to leave a mess for you to clean up if it happened on my watch. I will always make sure to follow your rules for your pups if you have certain rules to follow. I will never EVER judge anyone for any rules in place. I only want to do what is right by you in order to provide the best possible experience so that when you get back home, your dog will be so happy to see you or asleep in my lap from playing so much. I truly do want to be the best I can be as a dogsitter, so if there is anything you want specifically for your pup, do not hesitate to let me know. I am very laid back and very understanding. I have over 16 years of retail experience under my belt, so I guess I just aim to make sure that the customer/client always knows they're worth it! I never mind helping out!

About: Hi there! My name is Jessica. My love for dogs started at a young age. Since 16 I have been caring for dogs starting with just about everyone’s pup in my neighborhood which quickly evolved into so much more over the years.

I am available for feeding, playing, walking, or simply keeping your pup company. I have experience with dogs of various sizes ages and breeds. I also have a dog of my own that I rescued earlier this year so I have had my fair share of first hand experience navigating puppy ownership.

I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take over her care — she treats animals like family.”
