House Sitting in Joliet

“She took care of our fur babies and went the extra mile for them. I enjoyed that she showed how much she cares about doing a good job not just in general, but for the animals as well. Highly recommend”

“There are not enough good things to say about our experience with Alex. I am normally a basket case with just leaving LeeLoo but now we have our 3 month old, Zeppelin, whom we cannot board. Alex was beyond attentive to their needs, schedules, and our instructions. He is very respectful and knows animal behavior. Our home was left in the same (actually better) condition than when we left. He provided updates frequently. But most of all, when we got home… the dogs weren’t even that excited to see us 😂😂😂😂. They were comfortable and cared for extremely well. Will be booking Alex again for sure.”

About: Hi there. I am a dog mom, and have experience with all types of pets and their care. I communicate with my clients with daily update and make sure to add a few pictures. I know being away from your babies is hard, and pictures are the next best thing. I love going on adventures, and tug a war is my favorite. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I work part time and am available to set my schedule and work around anything really. I am also off weekend. This gives me alot of freedom and flexibility to work with your schedule and your pet needs. I would keep your fur baby company while you are away. Keeping them as active as possible. Also taking details notes about rules, diet, allergies and feeding schedules.

“We were so nervous about leaving our dog with a stranger. Epiphany was so professional and came and met our dog beforehand to calm our nerves. She came into our house and immediately sat on the floor, loving on our dog. She was fantastic. Our dog had a small bruise on his ear. She was so attentive it was monumentally better when we returned. She was flexible, calm, attentive and professional. Your pets will be in great hands!!!”

“Olivia was great! Her updates were wonderful and I really appreciate her asking questions when my old man refused to take his meds”

“Nadia was communicative, tidy, and very patient with my dogs (one especially who takes awhile to warm up to new visitors). She even did a bit of extra cleaning for me! Highly recommend her services.”

Ellison M.

“Highly recommend! Jasmine was super flexible to accomadate our plans. Would book with her again.”

About: Hello all pet parents! I am new to Rover. I've recently relocated to Luling, TX. I am looking for small gigs like taking care of furry friends because pets are my life, as I'm sure they are yours too! Most of my professional and personal experiences with pets have been with dogs and cats, to include feedings, scheduled walks and playtimes, administering medications, bathing, nail trims, and just plain ol' cuddling. I am big on SAFETY as it is the most important thing when your pet is away from you or in someone else's care. I understand different breeds may need different types of attention, especially when factoring in age and certain health conditions. Please allow me a chance to meet your pup (or cat) and help you out occasionally! Cheers! (Smaller critters welcome, we all need a little checking on!) I’m currently a stay at home pet mom while I attend online classes to become an educator, which is self paced. It is very easy for me to balance your pets needs with my own! I may allow overnight boarding from time to time in my own home, I will keep my calendar open for that accordingly. I can take your pets outside to favored parks or areas, or care for them in your own home. I do not wish to stay overnight in your home, but may be available for extended hours.

“Kate was absolutely amazing and exceeded every expectation I had. From the moment we left, she stayed in constant communication with daily updates, pictures, and messages that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She took incredible care of both of my dogs, Laney and Lola. Laney is young and energetic, while Lola is a senior dog with different needs, and Kate was wonderful with both of them. It was obvious she has experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. Knowing they were both happy, safe, and well cared for allowed me to truly relax and enjoy my trip. She didn’t just take care of the dogs—she took care of my home as well. She brought in packages, checked the mail, took out the trash, and left the house cleaner and more organized than when she arrived. When we got home, she had even left a detailed handwritten summary of the entire stay, which was incredibly thoughtful and completely unexpected. What really stood out to me was that even after her scheduled paid time had ended, she came back one last time to check on Laney and Lola because we weren’t getting home until later that evening. She absolutely did not have to do that, but it shows the kind of person she is and how much she genuinely cared about the dogs. If you’re considering booking Kate, don’t hesitate. She is professional, kind, reliable, communicative, and truly goes above and beyond. This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with a pet sitter, and I fully intend to book her again. Hopefully she will be Laney and Lola’s sitter for many years to come.”

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Lucrecia is great, second time having her to house sit and watch our puppies. Our dogs love hanging out with her and we feel very confident leaving our pups in her care.”

About: Hi! I’m Madi — a lifelong animal lover who enjoys caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have a senior cat and a dog, so I’m very familiar with the different personalities, routines, and care needs that pets can have.I’m especially comfortable with cats (including shy or senior cats), but I also enjoy spending time with dogs who love walks, playtime, and outdoor time. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend meaningful time with pets rather than rushing through visits. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines — whether that’s feeding schedules, litter box care, walks, playtime, or just providing calm companionship. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend more time with your pets I’m caring for rather than rushing through visits. It also means I’m able to check in during the day and be attentive to routines, feeding times, and any changes in behavior. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines and environment. In a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules closely, keep litter boxes clean, and spend time observing behavior to make sure cats are relaxed and healthy while their owners are away. I’m attentive to details like secure doors, safe spaces, and minimizing stress. I also work remotely, which gives me flexibility to spend meaningful time with pets during visits rather than rushing through tasks. My goal is to provide calm, reliable care so pets feel safe and owners feel confident while they’re away.

About: I am a nature lover! I enjoy taking my dog, Rosemary, on exciting hikes and engaging adventures. We love visiting the river, the dog park, many nature trails around town, and quality play time at home. I also love cuddling up with my cat, Bee. I have taken care of my own animals my entire life. From dogs & cats to birds to snakes, the list of animals I’ve had under my care goes on. Many of my pets have required medicine in their old age, so I am very comfortable administering medicine to an animal. I have dog-sat as well as house-sat on multiple occasions. One thing unique to me is my want for the animals to have as much freedom as possible. I work from home and decide my own schedule so I have a lot of flexibility in how I want to shape my day. This makes it so convenient for taking care of fur babies! We have a fenced yard that is perfect for a short zoomie sesh! Plus we have a gated dog park in our community that we frequent.

“Nichole put at complete ease when we left our pups to go out of town. She was kind, caring, and incredibly responsive. Our dogs were snuggled up within a few days which speaks wonders - they barely cuddle with us! We received updates and photos so we knew the whole time we were gone they were being cared for and loved.”

Bethany A.

“Victoria was great with both of our pups. Our boy pup can be a little anxious but he seemed very comfortable the whole day. They both got lots of attention, love, and plenty of outside time. She followed the instructions we left and was very kind. Thank you again victoria!”

Madison H.

“Brandy responded to a very last minute request for my sick kitty which I appreciated. She followed the directions and was very communicative. She took care of my kitty and I felt at ease that she was in good hands.”

Gabrielle H.

“Chanelle was beyond amazing! She was incredibly flexible and helpful when there was a delayed flight and stayed longer than initially planned. She’s super kind and sends daily updates which I really appreciated”

About: I just recently dog sat at a family friends house for a weekend, and I played with her, went outside with her and just made sure she felt loved. She also loves to cuddle, so we cuddled on the couch together. I have open availability right now, as I am a recent college graduate and will have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pet(s)! I am able to play with your pet, and I can give them their food or medication they may need. I can also take them on walks within the area to give them some exercise!

“Angela is amazing! She took such amazing care of our dog and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We came home to happy dogs and a stress-free experience!”
