Pet Sitting Joliet

“Kristina was awesome and went above and beyond! She cared for each of my dogs individually, one is very elderly and the other very energetic. She provided thoughtful updates and cute pics. Will definitely be calling her again!”

Renee M.

“Linda was great! She watched our two dogs and they really seemed to love her. She sent some awesome videos and pictures and even played training games with our very timid boxer to get her more comfortable around her—and it worked! I’d highly recommend her!”

Delana A.

“Madelyn and her husband were wonderful with watching our dogs. I have a very particular German shepherd and they really accommodated her behavior. I have another dog that needs daily medications and sometimes they are not the easiest to give her but they made sure she received them every day. They kept me updated and sent lots of cute photos. Thank you so much Madelyn and Barrett, yall are the best!”

About: I have two cats currently, but I am no stranger to dogs. I've had dogs in the family that I've needed to take care of and it's always a pleasure to care for them. I always treat the pets I'm working with respect, care, and kindness. I enjoy playing and being with them. Any instructions given to me I will follow to the best of my ability. I'm currently in between jobs, so my schedule is completely open. I will glady work with any schedule that is given to me and I look forward to working with your wonderful pets. When in the home of a client, I will follow the instructions and parameters given to me. I will play with your pet(s) gladly and will look out for their well being at all times.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters? No one has magic hands like I do! I truly believe I give the best scratches and belly rubs, and I think your pet would agree. Aside from that, I LOVE to play! I never want your pet to feel bored or ignored. I believe they should get plenty of playtime, attention, and exercise so that when you come home after a long day of work, they’re happy, tired, and ready to relax with you. My goal is for your pet to be just as excited to see me again as I am to see them! I would love the opportunity to care for your pet more than once so I can build a genuine bond with them and become someone they feel comfortable and happy around. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for dogs. I’ve taken care of pets simply because I love animals and want to make sure they’re happy, safe, and cared for. I regularly help take care of my boyfriend’s five dogs when he’s away, so I’m comfortable caring for multiple dogs and making sure each one gets the attention they need. I hope you’ll give me the chance to show you that I can care for your pet just like they’re my own. I may be a new Rover sitter, but I’m ready to give your pet all the love, attention, playtime, and, of course, those magic scratches they deserve! I’m currently a full-time student at Texas State University, so I do have a busy schedule, but I take my bookings seriously and would never want to commit to something I couldn’t follow through with. I’m available for drop-ins and walks during the week, and on weekends I’m available all day. Because of my weekend availability, house sitting is my preferred service, since I can give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your schedule when I can and will always make sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve. Unfortunately, I’m not able to host pets in my own home because my apartment is a little too small. However, I’m more than happy to house sit in your home! I’m very attentive to your pet’s routine, likes, dislikes, and any specific instructions you have for me. I want to make sure I’m providing care exactly the way you would want it. 🐕 Dog Walking Your dog’s safety is my top priority! If your dog isn’t comfortable around unfamiliar dogs, I’ll keep a safe distance from other dogs we come across on our walk. I’d rather give them plenty of space than risk an uncomfortable situation. Since we’ll be outside, I’ll also make sure your pup gets plenty of water and has a comfortable, safe walk. 🐾 Drop-Ins For drop in visits, I’ll make sure your pet is doing well, has everything they need, and gets plenty of love, attention, and, of course lots of scratches! I’ll also follow any feeding, bathroom, medication, or other instructions you leave for me.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. My family has a 14-year-old poodle mix named Snowy back home in Houston, so I’m very comfortable providing patient, gentle, and attentive care for senior dogs. I also have experience with younger dogs through my cousin’s puppy, who is now a large Goldendoodle, such a cutie and still a baby at heart! ❤️ I also live with my roommate’s three Chihuahuas, who are 2, 8, and 13 years old, which has given me experience with dogs at different stages of life. My friends and family regularly trust me to take care of their pets when they travel or go out of town, so I’m used to being responsible for their routines and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and responsible, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 I’m currently a college student, so my schedule gives me some flexibility to care for pets throughout the week. I’m generally available in the mornings, afternoons between classes, and evenings. I have flexibility to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need! I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and keep up with their usual routine, including feeding, walks, medication if needed, and any other special care. I’m attentive to their behavior and make sure they’re in a safe environment where they can feel comfortable. I also keep owners updated and communicate with them if I have any questions or concerns. I want to make sure their owners don’t have to worry while they’re away having fun or busy with whatever they have planned.

About: I’ve been house sitting on and off for almost two years! I’ve grown up with pets my whole life (I’ve had dogs, cats, and even a lizard!) I absolutely love animals, and growing up I was taught that our pets were part of the family, and I live by that sentiment now as an adult. Currently, I am a full-time student and I also work a part-time job, which can make it hard to be available for extensive periods of time. However, I am extremely flexible in going back and forth from multiple responsibilities, and have no issue sitting overnight! I think as much as it is important to meet all of your pets basic needs, it is equally as important to make sure they get plenty of attention while their owners are away. In the past, I’ve spent any time I could playing with my pets and keeping them company as they await the return of their owners.

About: From growing up with my childhood dog, and multiple dogs at my grandmothers house, I’ve had experience with dogs since a very young age. I currently have three sweethearts. An American cocker spaniel, a rescue pup, and a rescue kitten. I have watched countless friends dogs and cats as well, and will never say no. I’m absolutely in love with any and all kinds of animals. Your babies will be treated just like mine! Just like family🩷! I currently am self employed and pick my own schedule. I usually work early am around 3 am to around 8 am. My evening shifts are around 3-4 hours long as well. My schedule is always available to be changed for your pet needs. All care instructions will be followed. Pets are also allowed on the furniture, and crates are also available. Daily play and walks are also provided

About: I've been taking care of different animals since I was a kid. From farm livestock to exotic animals with more specific needs, I'm confident I can keep your pet very happy and comfortable. I'm currently a college student full time, however I have many large gaps in my schedule. I'm fully free on weekends and just ask for my specific free times during the week, as they can vary. I'm a on campus living student so I can't have any pets over, but I'm available to do pet walks, quick visits, and overnight watches.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and caring for pets is something I truly love. I have over 10 years of experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’ve dog-sat many times for friends and families, including caring for multiple pets in one home for weeks at a time (3 dogs and 4 cats). I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and keeping pets on their normal routines so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I also have experience with senior and special-needs pets. I once cared for an elderly German Shepherd whose back legs no longer worked. I helped with mobility, hygiene, feeding, and cleanup, and made sure she stayed comfortable and loved. This experience taught me patience, compassion, and how important gentle care is for older pets. I treat every pet like my own and always aim to give pet parents peace of mind through reliable, attentive care. I work part-time at a restaurant, so my schedule is very flexible. On days I am not working, I am available to stay with pets all day and provide overnight care. On the days that I do work, my shifts are typically about 5 hours long, which still allows me time to care for pets before and after work. If I am scheduled for a double shift, I have a 1-hour break in between, which I can use to check in on pets, walk them, and make sure they are comfortable and cared for. I always prioritize making sure pets are not left alone for long periods and maintain a consistent care routine. When caring for pets, my top priority is creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and house rules to ensure consistency for the pet. I always make sure doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye on pets during walks or playtime, and maintain a clean environment including food areas and litter boxes. I take time to build trust with each pet at their own pace, especially those who may be shy or anxious. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and provide dependable, attentive care so owners can feel completely at ease while they’re away.

“Sarah was excellent in communication and sent me adorable pictures of Stevie!!”

About: I have years of experience between animals, livestock, babies, and senior care. I breed Australian shepherds and Japanese Akitas, and currently own chickens. I do own my own house and with a decent size fenced backyard. I’m available all day of the week. If I have to step out, I have cameras all over my house and around my house. I have a fenced yard, cameras all over the outside of my house and in the inside as well. There is always someone at my house.

About: I always make sure my pet babies are well fed and clean water everyday. Cages or areas well cleaned and tidy. Organize their space well. Take the time to hold/pet each one individually one on one time with me. Its a daily,weekly,nightly routine. I have to make sure my babies are looking good, feeling good. I take my time to clean and feed and hold each pet so they know I love them dearly. I would treat a clients pet just as I would my own with love and understanding. Patient is very important when caring for any pet. I would love it as it was my own.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve raised dogs from puppies, cared for family and friends’ pets, and fostered dogs while helping them transition into their forever homes. One of the biggest things I’ve learned is that every dog is different. Some need lots of activity and attention, while others need patience, space, reassurance, or a little extra time to feel comfortable. I pay attention to their personality, routine, and cues so I can care for them in the way that works best for them. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. I’ll treat your baby with the same love, patience, and care I’d want for my own. ❤️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I’m also happy to work with your pet’s existing routine so their day feels as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I know every dog has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, so I’ll always follow your care instructions closely. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive to body language and behavior and will never force an interaction if a dog needs space or time to warm up. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your baby is in good hands!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for animals through my work as a veterinary technician, where I have developed strong skills in animal handling, administering medications, monitoring health and behavior, providing nutritional support, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable. I am confident handling dogs of different sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels, including those who may be nervous, anxious, or need extra patience and gentle care. I understand the importance of recognizing changes in behavior, following specific care instructions, maintaining proper hygiene, and prioritizing every pet’s safety and well-being. Above all, I am passionate about providing loving, attentive, and dependable care. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply some extra love and companionship, I will treat them like family and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work full time as a veterinary technician, but I’m available Saturday’s and Sundays all day, including overnight to pet sit your fur babies. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. As someone with hands-on veterinary experience, I understand how important it is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs to ensure they receive personalized attention and compassionate care. I am attentive to their behavior, practice safe handling, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and take extra precautions during walks, playtime, and interactions with other animals. I live in a one bedroom apt where I have dog park access as well as a bathing room. I also believe communication is essential, so I am happy to provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and at home while giving their owners confidence that their furry family members are in trustworthy, caring hands.

About: With 11 years of grooming and animal care experience, I’m comfortable working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m patient with puppies who are new to grooming and gentle with senior dogs who may need extra care and breaks. My grooming background helps me recognize body language, notice signs of stress, and adapt to each pet’s needs. I treat every dog as an individual and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved! 🐾💜 I work part-time, so I have availability to care for your pups around my work schedule. I'm available for boarding on weekends and on weekdays after 2 PM. I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, playtime, and care while they're with me. I'll communicate with you to make sure scheduling works for both of us! 🐾 With 11 years of experience, I prioritize pet safety, follow your care instructions, secure doors and leashes, avoid hazards, and provide updates while you're away. 🐾

“Marsha was amazing. Her photos and comments after each check-in gave me so much reassurance while I was away. I would not hesitate to put my cat in her capable and wonderful hands again. I am so thankful.”

Kelly M.

“Alexis has totally put me at ease taking care of my two pups. They both have some quirks (anxiety and no concept of personal space) and meeting with her and seeing her intuitive nature, ability to read their body language, and strong communication + positive attitude gave me a lot of confidence in having her in my home with my boys. She sends lots of pictures and provides a full update - so happy to have her at home when we can't be there!”

Kailyn L.

“Extremely patient with Sally. Communicative as well.”
