About: Hi! I’m Nicole, and I work remotely as a graphic designer while pet-sitting! I’d love to hang out with your baby or take them on walks or just keep them company! The details: I’m currently open for a recurring lunch time walk/drop-in spot! I do have meetings throughout the day and work full-time, so it’s u likely I can accommodate any other weekday times. Weeknights and weekends are open though! I am open to sitting for all types of animals! I love to be outdoors, so walking and playing with your pet will be a treat for both me and them. I’m also cool with a little snuggle bug watching tv on the couch! I’ve walked and spent time with dogs of all shapes and sizes through volunteer work at a shelter in SK. You can count on me to love your pet as my own while I’m with them. I have no problem giving medication or any other special needs your dog might have. - I require meet & greets. - All pets must be up to date on vaccines. - All pets must be in generally good health. - I am not able to offer constant care during daytime hours on weekdays. (Additional costs will be applied for constant care). - Please let me know all about their personality, quirks, and habits! House Sitting notes: Every sitter uses this service a bit differently. For my services, house sitting = staying overnight in your home and caring for the pet between 5pm - 8am and 1 drop in around noon. Any additional needs require additional drop-in costs because I am not able to stay in your home the entire day (I must care for my own pet and another client daily). Don’t hesitate to ask questions if you have any! I'd love to hang out with your pet and work out a schedule! I do work full-time but have some flexibility in my hours. I currently have an opening for lunchtime walks or drop-ins, and I’m always open to doggy daycare. Weeknights and weekends are open! My home has a fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play, our house is small but we live in a quiet neighborhood with lots of good places to walk and sniff!

“We have a happy dog after a good walk from on on-time and caring person.”

“I used Annie for a few walks with my 2.5yr old lab and she was amazing! She took her for nice walks and even hung out with her in the yard, as my dog loves to sunbathe. Winnie can be hesitant with new people, but you can tell from the pictures she sent that she loved having Annie here! Thanks so much and will definitely be using her again! Highly recommended!”

About: Hi nice to meet you all! I started doing Rover because I use to work in vet med and have missed getting to work with animals and their owners. I love working with animals and greatly enjoy the time I spend with them. I do work full time so I do Rover on my off days and before/after my full time job. I have experience caring for not only dogs and cats but small pets also(this includes parrots, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, rats, mice, gerbils). I am always available to answer questions to pet parents about how their pet is doing in my care, and willing to accommodate additional care instructions as well. While your pet is in my care you will receive a Rover card from each visit/stay with photos provided. I am trained in pet CPR and have experience with senior pets and any medication needs that your pet may have. I am also experienced with shy pets as well and will always allow your pet to take their time to get to know me and warm up to me. My number one goal is that your pet is comfortable, happy and healthy while in my care. I do require a meet and greet to ensure that your pet is comfortable with me and a good fit as well. House Sitting. I have recently reopened up house sitting services in your home. I am available each day to ensure your pets and home are taken care. walks if asked for by the owner(no additional charge for these!), play time, food and water checks and any medications administered if needed. Small Pet Care I also have experience caring for small pets and birds if you need your small furry or feathered ones looked after while you are away. I have experience with birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, rats and mice. Care for these guys will include food and water checks, attention and if needed a spot clean of their cage as well, along with any medications needed if these are required. Boarding/Day Care I have just opened up boarding and daycare(daycare only on select days when I am not working my full time job). Boarding requirements include any dog under 35lbs due to having cats that can be skittish around larger dogs. Your dog must get along with cats and small animals and be okay with being home alone for a few hours a day. Up to date on vaccines and a trial visit will be required to ensure your dog is a good fit to stay with us. Dog Training. I am currently finishing a course through Good Pup offered by Rover and am so excited to be offering training to existing and new clients once I complete my certification! I do work full time but I do have availability before and after work to care for pets and am available on my off days as well for pet care. I will always ensure to respect your home and ensure it is in the same condition as when you left your pet in my care.

“Caryn came by for the meet and greet and to understand our Pet’s routine. We have now used her twice and I greatly enjoy the pup reports and photos we get. Would recommend.”

About: Hi! Thanks for visiting our page! We’re Michelle and Christy, a wife duo, who both run this account and are here to take care of your pets so you can a stress free vacation/business trip/break! We have always talked about owning a farm and adopting every dog available but since we know that’s not possible right now, we figured we’d offer our services to take care of other pets. We know how hard it can be to find a pet sitter you can rely on and trust but we would like to be that for you. We treat our pups like family (because they are!) and your dogs will be no different. We don’t want you worrying when you’re on vacation or a business trip and will provide updates and photos as much as you’d like. We’ve taken care of dogs our entire life. We’ve had family pets and our own pets that we’ve walked, administered meds, fed, and cuddled. We currently work from home so we would always be home with the pets to hang out and take care of them. They could go out whenever they needed. At my home: have a fenced in yard and we have two pups that love to have fun running around and playing with other dogs. At your home: I work from home so I can be around all day to hang out and take care of your animals.

“Rufus really enjoys Erin and we appreciate her. She is always on time and takes great care of Rufus!!”

About: I have my own transportation and have animals at home so I personal experience as well as outside experience. I have been involved with a shelter for many years and have fostered dogs for one year. Having experience in a shelter aspect I am understanding of dietary restrictions and am able to give medications. I am extremely punctual and responsible. I love and care for all animals regardless of size or breed. I can do light cleaning around the house and will clean up after the pets. To me jobs such as these are extremely rewarding not only for the pet but for me since I love being around all animals and have lots of fun making connections with new animals. I look forward to getting to know you and your pets! I am a student and work part time. I do school through Oregon State University (online classes) so it doesn’t affect my schedule. I’m currently working 25 hours a week at a doggy daycare and boarding facility. I always make sure to follow care instructions closely. Calm, safe environments are needed in pet sitting and I feel I can provide different environments based on each pet. Any issues I will always immediately reach out.

About: I have always put animals first in all aspects of my life. I’ve had the joy of raising dogs from puppies and cats from kittens. I treat all animals as if they are my own and would love for the opportunity to watch your fur babies. I also love volunteering at the local humane society and helping all kinds of animals as well as fostering animals too! I’m currently in school and have extra time to care for your treasured pets! I will always treat your pets like my own! I will always be available to tend to your pet and give them the love they deserve. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly lab mix to keep your fur happy baby company! I also have a living area separated from my pets if need be and have the ability to crate if that is what your pet needs.

About: I know what sets me apart from others has to be that i care for others fur babies as if they were my own. i have experience with cats and dogs as i've had / have my own before. You can rely on me to make the process of your pet being able to rely on me for care while youre away Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine by me having 3 cats i feed them breakfast / dinner as well as filling their water bowls and daily litter cleanings I care for my pets by giving them the space they need as that's what they like but also smothering them with love when given the chance to. I've cared for others pets by making sure they're in the know of how their fur baby is doing whether that be with sending photos or updates throughout the time they're in my care!

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is a lifetime of dedicated, hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds—from cats, dogs, and birds to rabbits. My expertise spans every stage of a pet’s life, including raising energetic puppies and delivering compassionate end-of-life care for a terminally ill dog who needed to be hand-fed and wear diapers at just six years old. As an authentic animal lover with a deep well of specialized experience, I bring both the practical knowledge required for complex care routines and the genuine empathy every pet owner looks for. ♥️🐾 Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine, serving as a primary focus alongside my other responsibilities while I am currently not working traditional hours. A major part of my days is dedicated to caring for my daughter's two German Shepherds, which keeps me active with regular feeding, exercise, and attentive supervision suited for large, high-energy breeds. Balancing this with part-time house cleaning and studying to earn my real estate license has taught me how to manage my time effectively, ensuring that every dog in my care receives consistent attention, structured routine, and dedicated affection throughout the week. When caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home, my top priority is maintaining their familiar routine to keep them feeling safe, happy, and stress-free. I adhere strictly to their usual feeding schedule, walking habits, and medication needs, while providing plenty of quality playtime and affection to keep them company. Beyond basic care, I keep a watchful eye on their health and behavior, ensure your home stays clean and secure, and send regular updates and photos so you have complete peace of mind while you are away.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals and pet sitting since I was 15 years. I recently just graduated from Veterinary Technician school in May 2025 . I can take care of any aged animal from puppies to senior animals. I am going to school but throughout the day I can come over and take care of animals everyday 7 days/week. I can house sit too on weekends I have two dogs that are 4 years old and 2 years old. I can hang out with your animals and go outside with them. I can crate them if they need to be.

About: I used to be a farm manager and not only took care of domestic pets, but livestock too! I know everyone says that animals love THEM the most, but pets are really drawn to me. I think it’s because I have a deep reverence for them and their ability to so easily love people unconditionally. I also respect their boundaries because I understand that they cannot communicate as easily as we do. I am currently unemployed and going to school part time so my schedule is very open right now! I enjoy nature, even when weather is inclement, and will be there rain or shine. I will follow whatever instructions you have for your pet! No matter how detailed. I would care for your pet in the same manner I care for my own, which is obsessively. As a former anxious pet owner (sometimes I still am), I will provide photos and updates whenever I am with them. I also respect your privacy, as I know allowing someone into your home can be intimidating.

About: Hi! I'm a passionate dog lover with over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, and I've also had the pleasure of dog sitting for many friends over the years—sometimes for several weeks at a time. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and safe while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding,I'm dedicated to providing reliable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. Dog walking and boarding fit very well into my schedule. I work in the office from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM on weekdays, and I'm home for the rest of the day, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs in my care. During the few hours I'm away, your dog will have the companionship of my friendly, well-socialized dog, so they won't be alone. Once I'm home, I'll be available for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of attention to make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and cared for. I live in a gated community which is extremely secure. We also have numerous huge dog parks in the community but I would only take the dogs when it is just them in the dog park, safety is the priority!

About: As of April 2026, my current schedule is 9am-5pm Mon-Fri, right here in Joliet! I can do pop-in visits or overnight stays!! Let me know what days you need! I have had dogs in my life since I was born (and as of 4 years ago, I consider myself a cat person now too!) I can never see myself not having a pet at any time in my life. So i would love to get to know and care for your babies as well as you do! I work Monday-Friday 9am-5pm, otherwise I have open availability outside of those hours. If you’re in a bind, or planning ahead, just ask me about the dates you’re considering! I’d love to help you out & take care of your pet! I take the safety of my/clients pets very seriously. I am comfortable with administering any medication that may be needed. I am also comfortable with crating your pets, as well as putting any gear you may require them to wear (i.e. a harness, a basket muzzle(for those who don’t play well with others on walks), any cold weather attire). I will treat them as if they are my own!

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly understand that every pup is different. I trained my own stubborn Yorkie with patience and consistency, and I currently care for my senior Golden Retriever who has hip issues so I’m experienced with both energetic young dogs and gentle, slower-paced seniors. Whether your dog needs structured walks, positive reinforcement, or a calm and patient pace, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, understood, and happy every step of the way. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize safety, communication, and making sure you feel completely comfortable while your pup is in my care. I’d love to meet your best friend! 🐶💛 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a very open and flexible schedule. I prioritize staying active and structured in my days — I regularly go to the gym and attend Bible study — which allows me to consistently plan walks and drop-ins throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, including weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate last-minute or same-day requests when possible. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how important trust is, and I treat every dog with the same patience and care I give my own.

“Charlotte was absolutely wonderful. She would take Teddy out for his mid-day walk and she always sent us pictures of how happy he was on his walk. :) She even took care of some packages that were left outside our door. It was such a relief knowing we could trust her with our pup. HIGHLY recommend!”

About: I have experience grooming and administrating medicine to furry friends that don't enjoy the process. Big or small, quiet or loud, friendly or shy I accept all pets and treat them as if they were my own. I have open availability to take last minute bookings and have the luxury to do this full time.This helps with my ability to work with people’s schedules. Drop in visits and walks are catered to each client. I am flexible with what is provided and have a willingness to adapt. Visits typically include feeding, enrichment activities, and walks.
