“Shelby does a great job with our dog! She has come multiple times and always does a great job with him and communicates with us about him. Our dog has anxiety and Shelby does amazing with calming him and comforting him when we are gone.”

“Elizabeth always gives my two German Shepherds lots of love and playtime when she visits them. They are always happy to see her. I really appreciate how she keeps their training up when she visits. She makes them wait and calm before she opens door and she makes sure they behave themselves. No crazy out of control behavior encouraged, which I really appreciate.”


“Thelma is a nervous dog, Ashliegh did a great job letting Thelma get comfortable with her during the meet and greet. Judging by the photos, Thelma felt quite at ease during the drop in!”


About: I have pet sat for many types of dogs and cats with different needs and ages. I am experienced with giving medication to dogs through food and from hand. I am a full time student during the school year, but I am available most of the summer during the week. I am also willing to do multiple visits through out the day. I am able to feed pets, give medications, let out dogs to go to bathroom if backyard is available. I am determined to provide a safe space where your pet feels loved and cared for.
“Samantha did a great job checking in on our cat, Louie. On a previous vacation, he came to a cat with a UTI because the person we hired (not through Rover.com) did not clean his box properly. Samantha kept us up to date on how Louie was doing and kept his boxes clean. We came home from vacation to a happy and healthy cat. I will definitely use Samantha again!”

“We had a wonderful experience working with Jessica! Jessica took care of our two kittens for about a week while we were on vacation. She was SUPER responsive, quick to reply, and gave us regular updates. It was such a relief knowing our cats were well taken care of while we were away! Our cats were happy and well cared for when we returned. We absolutely would recommend her, and will definitely be booking again in the future!”

About: Trusted pet sitter with years of rescue & foster experience. Specializing in cats and small-to-medium dogs—including terriers, labs, retrievers & hounds. As a long-time animal lover, foster, and rescue volunteer, I understand how much your pets mean to you because mine mean the world to me, too. Over the years, I’ve welcomed dogs and cats from all walks of life into my home, offering patience, care, and love while they wait for their families, whether for the weekend or forever. At home, I share life with two wonderful companions: Gus, my gentle Maine Coon mix who became my gardening sidekick after finding me one summer in the Franklin Park neighborhood, and Dennis, my sweet and shy miniature poodle whom I fostered and then adopted. I’ve fostered several dogs this year and have loved and learned from them all. Each has their own story, and together they remind me daily of the joy pets bring into our lives. I’ve cared for many animals over the years, from Jack Russell mixes Daisy and her daughter Pearl, to a big-hearted hound named Andy, to rescued puppy-mill survivors like Dennis. My rescue work includes everything from daily feeding and walks to helping shy or fearful dogs feel safe again. I even keep a carrier in my car just in case I come across a lost animal because I believe in helping wherever I can. I’ve also had unique opportunities, like caring for two cavapoos during a stay in Washington State. Experiences like these deepened my love for one-on-one pet care, especially calm walks, drop-in visits, and creating safe, low-stress environments. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. Between caring for my own pets and fostering through rescue, my days already include walks, playtime, feedings, and plenty of cuddles. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to fit in drop-in visits and walks throughout the day or evening. Weekends are often open for longer visits or extra time with your pets. Because I live with both cats and a small dog, I’m experienced at balancing different needs and personalities, and I always bring that same patience and consistency to every pet I care for. Whether it’s a quick midday walk, a calm evening check-in, or weekend companionship, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and part of my daily rhythm. I care for my own pets — and those in my home — with love, attentiveness, and respect for their unique routines. I follow my housemate’s preferences when caring for her cat, just as I did in my previous home with three beloved dogs, each with their own needs and quirks. I bring that same level of care to every client visit. Whether I'm walking your pup or dropping in to check on your cat, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and happy in your absence. Providing a detailed list of your pet’s routine and preferences helps me deliver the best possible care and gives us both peace of mind. Finally, I’m currently pursuing Red Cross Pet First Aid certification to provide an extra layer of safety and peace of mind for the pets I care for. While I already bring years of foster and rescue experience, I believe in always learning more to give every pet the best possible care.
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for as long as I can remember and have grown up around them my whole life. As a proud pet owner of a Goldendoodle, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, reliable, and caring looking after your pets. I genuinely enjoy walking dogs, spending time with them, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your pet will be treated like family and cared for with patience, attention, and plenty of affection. I am currently a full-time nursing student, so my schedule can change about every couple of months depending on my classes and clinicals. In my free time, I’m looking to walk dogs and provide pet sitting because I truly enjoy caring for animals. I will always be open and honest about my availability and make sure to communicate clearly so pet owners can feel comfortable and confident leaving their pets in my care. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. Whether I’m providing walks, drop-in visits, sitting, or overnight stays, I give pets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while also making sure they are fed, hydrated, and comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs and will always communicate with owners through updates and photos so they can feel at ease while away.

I am available anytime in your home! I do own 4 cats of my own so I am very used to taking care of animals and making sure they are fed and are in a clean environment.

About: I have had animals my entire life. I am a dog mama, and help friends with animal care, pet sitting and drop in visits. I am trustworthy and reliable! I currently work full time as an adult probation officer. I am looking to supplement my income with part time work caring for your fur babies. I take animal safety and security seriously. I will treat all pets and homes as my own with the utmost care and respect. I want to build a reputable side business.
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is the genuine love and lifelong experience I have with animals. I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, and to me, pets are family. My own dogs are truly like my children, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. Growing up, we always had dogs in our home, and having animals as part of the family was something I always wanted to continue in my own life. Because of that, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring when leaving your pet with someone else. I strive to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets feel at home and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m currently home during the day, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. We have a fenced-in yard and a doggie door, so dogs are able to safely go outside whenever they need to, making it easy for them to stay active and comfortable on their own schedule. Our dogs are truly part of our family, so caring for animals is already built into our everyday life. They have their own routines and habits, especially at bedtime. Every night when we take our son upstairs for bed, our dogs follow right along. One of them is usually waiting by the stairs looking at us like, “Come on, it’s bedtime!” It’s those little moments that show how loved and comfortable they are in our home, and I want every dog staying with us to feel that same sense of comfort and belonging. When pets are in my home, they will be treated like part of the family—just like my own dogs. My priority is always making sure they are safe, comfortable, well cared for, and getting plenty of love and attention while their owners are away. I want pets to feel relaxed and at home in our environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I understand the importance of being respectful of both their home and their pet’s routine. I will follow any instructions carefully to help pets stay comfortable in a familiar environment while also maintaining the same level of care, attention, and safety. No matter where I am caring for a pet, I believe trust is the most important thing. Animals need to feel safe with the person caring for them, and I always strive to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment for every pet I look after.
About: I am passionate and dedicated to pet care, safety, and love. I am incredibly protective of the treatment and care of all animals. I vow to protect your furbabies and give them the exercise they deserve. I have had pets my whole life and have dog-sat and dog-walked for many years. I am not currently working, so I am free most of the time to take care of your fur babies. The best time for me is during a typical day. I will ensure all the rules and regulations are kept inside your home. I will also ensure that your fur baby is safe in your home and outside your home.
“Lenny was super great she filled in for a girl that couldn’t make it she gave my epileptic dog Yapper his medication and she took my dogs out for a P break she was awesome I got to enjoy my time at my sons wedding shower I will definitely be using her again she’s punctual and she follows directions very well.”

About: I grew up with dogs but now I take care of other people’s dogs! Been dog sitting since 2020 and I have many regular families that love me! I work two part time flexible schedule jobs so I have lots of free time where I check on animals or go for a quick walk/feed! I personally don’t take animals to my own space unless needed, but I will stay the night if you want and always follow detailed instructions!
“I don’t leave reviews but Kayla went way above and beyond for me dealing with my dog getting sick and cleaning it and handling my injured dogs bandages coming off and reapplying them for me! I couldn’t give more praise to her and wouldn’t recommend anyone else if you want the best care for you’re pet!”
