Dog Sitting in Joliet

“During the meet and greet, Blue took an instant liking to Kisha which was great to see. Kisha sent us pictures for every visit and we felt very confident that Blue was in good hands. This was our first time using a service like this and Kisha made the experience a positive one and we look forward to using Kisha in the future.”

About: My husband and I have been trusted to care for family and friends' pets for many years. We welcome pets of all kinds. Walking, feeding, quick trips, and everything in between. We both work full time but have evenings and weekends open to take care and play with your furry family members. Sometimes we may have additional availability. We currently do not have pets but would love one someday. While we don't have a completely fenced in yard, there are many dog parks and trails nearby. Any instructions left by the client will be followed precisely.

“Savanna was a perfect fit for watching my two dogs for a week while I was gone. She came by prior to watching them, for a meet and greet, which was really helpful. She was able to see the house and where everything was. It was nice to meet her before I left. She followed all instructions perfectly, and sent adorable pictures of the dogs at every visit. This was my first time using rover, and I felt so comfortable leaving the dogs in her care. Thank you so much Savanna!”

About: I have had animals in my house since I was a little kid. Our family currently has a Great Pyrenees, a Shih Tzu, and 3 cats. I've had experience caring for friend's animals while they were on vacation or whenever they needed a walk, food, or some extra love. I have taken dogs to the dog park, as well. I volunteer at an animal shelter in Tinley Park and work with their stray, small, and large dogs. I have taken out some of the shelter dogs for training exercises and behavioral observations. The most recent dog that I trained can sit and stay before I throw his toy. I, also, have worked with the puppies that come in and understand the extra attention needed for them. I will treat your animals with love and care.

“She was excellent!! She went above and beyond of what I asked for. The communication was excellent. I would recommend her to anyone!! I would book her services again.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, right now I have a cat who is 16 and diabetic his name is simba so hes a lot of work but have lots of experience with senior cats!! I also have a Belgian dog, his name is apollo and he loves to play so I have experience with dogs too. I’m currently working full time from 9-5 Monday- Friday but am available after work or on the weekends anytime if I don’t have plans! If I know in advance it won’t be a problem at all. Once there is a routine set in place I’m good, normally if I’m staying at your house and you just tell me the steps on what needs to be done day by day I’m good!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for 10 years, including dogs, cats, and small animals of all ages and temperaments. My experience ranges from daily walks and overnight care to administering medications and even helping with rescue animals. I’m calm, patient, and reliable—and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust, so I prioritize clear communication and consistency. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or structured care, I’ve got it covered! Let me know what makes your pet happiest, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because spending time with animals is one of the best parts of my day. I’m available weekday evenings and most weekends, with flexible timing to meet your pet’s needs. Whether it’s evening check-ins, dinner feedings, weekend walks, or overnight stays—I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space and the animal with the utmost respect. I follow your instructions closely—from feeding routines and medication schedules to favorite toys and hiding spots—so your pet’s daily rhythm stays consistent. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure before and after every visit, and I always check for any potential hazards like spilled food, open trash, or small items that could be chewed. I keep my visits calm and positive, and I communicate clearly with pet parents. My goal is to create a safe, low-stress environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for—even while you’re away.

“Bree was absolutely amazing with drop-in visits for our 3 cats on a last minute notice. She did a great job caring for and loving our kitties. Bree consistently sent detailed meal time and potty updates throughout the day - this was the first time we have been able to enjoy ourselves fully on a vacation without worrying about our babies at home! We highly recommend Bree and will be rebooking with her in the future!”

About: Natural born dog whisperer. Wanted a Pit bull ended up with a Chihuahua. I truly believe Cuco, my dog, was my animal soulmate. I loved caring for him full time and now hope to have the opportunity to care for your pup part time. I am a patient walker — even if that means infinite stops to sniff stuff. Will always speak to them as I would to a human child. Plus, no human children in household only your pet child. Can help with potty training and social/public anxiety relief. Guaranteed good belly rubs, affection, and fresh bowl of water/food at all times under my care. I’d be thrilled to take very photogenic pictures of them and send them your way along with updates. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any additional questions and/or concerns. I am a remote employee and am home 100% of the time with your pet. Pups are welcomed to join me for a day of work, enjoy window views (bark at delivery drivers) and take all the naps desired. Sliding door for them to look outside while inside. Indoor cameras to keep an eye on pup if up to trouble from my office. Designated space in the living room, kitchen, office, and loft for them. This is our home, and we hope to make your pup feel right at home too—pups are allowed on all furniture (couches, human beds). My partner Martin also lives here—he’s a very loving caretaker of dogs and often helps keep them busy on weekends or when he’s not at work.

Whatever your animal needs fulfilled, I will be there to do it. I want the best for each and every animal I care for.

About: I’ve taken care and loved dogs my whole life I have grown up with them. They mean more to me than just a pet I myself have 2 dogs and 1 cat and yet I still still feel the need sometimes of wishing I could foster all the homeless dogs and fur babies in the world that don’t have a home I can assure you that your fur baby is in good hands. I'm a lifelong animal lover, a volunteer at A.D.O.P.T shelter in Naperville, and currently a Vet Tech student at Joliet Junior College — with a dream to work with exotic animals someday! I will make sure your fur babies are well taken care of not just in play time but feeding time nap time walking time and even making sure they have their bath time every dog deserves extra and careful love always fur babies have feelings too.

About: Hi there! I’m Anna, lover of all pets—young or old, tiny or tall. Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. I’ve owned cats, dogs, and rabbits, cared for friends’ and neighbors’ pets, volunteered at the Yorkville Animal Hospital, and worked as a dog walker for Midday Play in Sandwich. I take all opportunities to befriend every pet I meet, and I’d love to get to know yours too! I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I do have a night class every Wednesday, but besides that my schedule is very open. When caring for pets, I always prioritize their safety, health, and happiness. I believe in respecting both my clients’ requests and the homes I’m visiting. Any instructions you provide will be followed with the utmost care to ensure both you and your furry friend are happy. If I ever need clarification, I’ll be sure to ask.

“Thanks, Amanda, for taking such good care of our kitties for the week! The drop-in updates were great and we appreciated seeing pix of the rascals. Excellent problem-solving, too!”

About: Hello, my name is Brien and I have been a part of the Rover community now for over 2 years and have had the privilege and opportunity to meet so many great families and their furry companions! They say “Dog is a man’s best friend” and Rover has allowed myself, my furry friends, and family to continuously love and make your dog(s) feel like they have a home away from home. For my previous clients. It is with much sadness that my big guy Bentley has crossed the rainbow bridge I have no doubt he is taking unlimited naps and eating all the bones his heart desires and misses all his furry friends. But with Bentley’s loss brought us our rescue pup, Tee-Jay! She is a Catahoula Leopard Dog (Fun Fact: Her breed is the State Dog of Louisiana). I also have an 11-year-old daughter who loves animals just as much as me! Currently, I offer a variety of services, whether you are looking for someone to care for your pets while you travel, or if you are in need of a regular pet sitter to drop in as needed. My home has a fenced in backyard, with plenty of space to run, play fetch and squirrels to chase. I take pride in providing the best service/care to your pet(s) which is why I will only host your pet(s) during your booked time! My family, Tee-Jay and I would love to meet you and pet(s)! So between everyone in the family a regular work/school day pups will be alone for 5ish hours. After that the play time begins for everyone Your dog’s safety is a priority. I have a fenced in yard as well as a covered porch for rainy days. Tee-jay can easily be crated if needed, you pet needs some time to itself.

“Kinga was great and our dog loved her!! Took her for long walks each visit and always sent pictures of their time together! We will definitely continue to use her services in the future!”

“Nicole is a gentle and kind care giver who help our family by talking care of our beloved dog, Maggie while we were out of town for a memorial service. Normally, we take Maggie with us when we travel but this time it was not possible. Our daughter recommended we use Rover to find a sitter for Maggie and that's how we found Nicole. We arranged for Nicole to drop in during the day periodically to ensure Maggie was taken care of. Nicole was always on schedule and sent us photos of Maggie everyday. Nicole's daily reports gave us peace of mind and comfort knowing Maggie was doing well. We highly recommend Nicole. You can truly trust Nicole to provide a high level of quality care for your four legged family members when you are away from home. Our sincere thanks to you, Nicole.”

About: I have trained many animals. Volunteered at shelters. Have my own fur babies. Your fur babies will be in great hands and you will receive pictures everyday. I am also in the medical field and know some things about vet experience. I am currently working at silver cross hospital as a certified medical assistant. I will have time in the morning and after work to take care of your animals. I love animals and just being around them too. I have a fenced in yard but if a homeowner does not I can put the animal on a leash or take them for a walk to use the restroom. I will make sure that your fur baby has the best experience while you are away. You will receive updates and pictures of your animal too.

“Tyler was so great with our cat and so reliable. I would recommend him anytime!”
