House Sitting in Klondike

“Ashley is always so courteous and patient with me and my time. She took great care of Tokyo and she’s very responsive to what I need. I came home and my dog looked like he was well taken care of while I was away. Thank you Ashley. I will be booking more experiences with her. 🥰”

“Jessica was amazing! She is a great communicator and left us a sweet note after she left. She let us know of any concerns or questions she had about the pets while we were away. She is very friendly as well! Highly recommend.”

“Cannot tell you how happy we were with Sherry! Her communication, picture history of the babies and overall performance were better than a 10, I would highly suggest her services. We will be going away again soon and be asking for her services again. Thank you, Sherry for taking such care of all our babies.”

About: I’ve taken care of an array of dogs since I was a child. Calm, engaged, and fun dog mom. Teacher full time needing a summer gig. I currently work full time as a middle school teacher. I want something to fill my time over the summer. What better way to do it than with animals? My current dog care happens in the morning and afternoon/evening. I currently have open availability aside from a few pre-planned activities. I have a large unfenced yard. I have an older spayed female chipoo that is friendly with other dogs. She is on a set routine which includes going outside multiple times a day, meals twice a day, play time, plus more. I regularly clean the bottom, paws, face, etc. to ensure things are always fresh and clean.

“Very good with animals she does not only pet sit, but is a groomer and just a pleasant person to interact with. She’s also takes her studies in vet care very serious. I highly recommend her.”

About: I have experience training, raising and loving animals for 13 years. I have had one dog in my lifetime, Malaki a toy poodle, who was with me for 12 years before moving on. I listen to your fur kids and am available for potty brakes, tug of war, feeding time, walks, or just snuggle time. I enjoy the companionship of dogs. I am currently home full-time. Your baby will spend majority of their time out of their crate. However I do crate at night time and when I have to run errands. I treat your baby as you would. They are given extra love with you away. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve your family.

“Morgan took care of my 2 4 legged friends for 2 days. She was prompt and very communicative. I have one large dog and 1 small, very energetic, small dog that can keep anybody hopping. She handled them like a pro. Did a great job. She will be my first call any time I need someone to take of my best friends!! Strongly recommend her!!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I feel like we made a great choice hiring Dan! Dan made our first experience better by happily offering to meet the pups in advance to make sure the pet sitting weekend went smoothly. His calm energy was really reassuring, especially because one of our dogs is a bit anxious. When we got home our dogs were happy and the house was tidy. We will definitely use him again for any pet sitting needs in the future.”

About: With over 14 years of hands-on experience, I provide calm, patient, and highly attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m naturally observant and tuned into behavior and energy levels, so your pet isn’t just watched—they’re genuinely understood, loved, and cared for. I’m also very active and love bringing that into my pet care. I enjoy running, long walks, and spending time outdoors, and I especially love being active with pets. High-energy dogs get real exercise and engagement—not just a quick walk—and I’m more than happy to match their pace (I can usually tire out even the most energetic pets in a positive, healthy way). At the same time, I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs structure and activity or a calm, reassuring presence, I adjust my care to meet them where they are—especially for pets who may be anxious or need extra attention. I’m very present, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for—so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. When your pet is in my care, they’ll receive consistent, attentive care that fits naturally into my daily routine—because I intentionally make pet care a priority. I work full-time Monday–Friday from 9–5, but I structure my schedule to ensure your pet’s needs are fully met before and after work. Mornings include feeding, walks, and quality time to start the day off right. After work, I dedicate my time to longer walks, exercise, play, and engagement so your pet gets the attention and activity they need. For high-energy pets, I incorporate active time like long walks or outdoor exercise to make sure they’re not just “checked on,” but genuinely stimulated and cared for. For pets that prefer a calmer pace, I provide a relaxed, comforting environment with plenty of attention and reassurance. On weekends, my schedule is much more flexible, allowing for extended time, outings, and a more customized routine based on your pet’s needs. You can expect consistent communication, updates, and photos throughout the stay. I’m reliable, structured, and committed to following your pet’s routine as closely as possible—so they feel comfortable, and you feel confident knowing they’re in good hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities—especially when caring for them in your home. I understand that inviting someone into your space requires a high level of trust, and I treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect and care. I currently offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. At this time, I’m unable to provide care in my own home, which means all of my attention is focused on maintaining your pet’s normal environment and routine where they feel most comfortable. When I’m in your home, I follow all instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walk routines to medications and any specific preferences your pet may have. I’m very mindful of safety at all times, including secure leashing, monitoring behavior, and ensuring your pet is always in a safe, controlled environment. I also prioritize keeping your home clean, organized, and exactly as you left it. You can expect regular updates, clear communication, and someone who is both dependable and respectful of your space. My goal is to create a stress-free experience—for both you and your pet—by providing consistent, trustworthy care in a familiar and comfortable environment.

“Excellent pet/house sitter. I know my cat Sean was so well taken care of and my home was left absolutely picture perfect. Getting pictures of Sean while gone was a bonus that made me feel secure and happy. I know I will be using Kira again in the future, great job”

Margaret H.

“Nothing but praise for Catecha! She helped us out with house sitting our 3 pups with just a few days notice. The pups loved her from the meet & greet. We couldn't keep our oldest dog from trying to get in Catecha's vehicle to go home with her! Communication was immediate. We returned to 3 very happy pups and a house cleaner than we left it!! I would 100% book Catecha again and highly recommend her to anyone with any Rover needs!”

About: I am a wildlife biologist for the Georgia DNR working for the Urban Wildlife Program. I have years of experience dog-sitting, primarily for large- and medium-sized dogs in the Chicago area. My work schedule is very flexible, allowing me to take my time to care for your critters! A large part of my job is responding to wildlife emergencies using years of experience and best-judgment decision making, which makes for a great pet-sitter. I am a wildlife biologist that works from home in Decatur. My workload is quite low so it is easy to fit pet care into my schedule throughout the week. My flexible schedule affords me ample time to provide proper attention to animals. I have a calm demeanor with strong attention to detail when it comes to care instruction. My experience as a wildlife biologist has trained me how to monitor animals for emergencies and how to be calm in the face of the unknown or unexpected. I am used to following strict research protocol, so following along for the care of your animal will be a breeze.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old. Which has lead me into the field of being a veterinarian technician. Which I have been doing going on 6 years now. Now looking for another aspect of the vet field of helping your fur baby or babies. I do work full time but have Friday-sunday off as my regular schedule. So I'm fully available to take care or stay overnight for pet care for those quick weekend getaways. I'm very aware of anything a pet maybe going through with my certification as a veterinarian technician . I'm very aware of how to give meds and etc.

About: I’ve taken care of a range of animals my entire life. The term “animal lover” is an understatement for me! I’ll gladly provide assistance/ care I work remotely full time, so I have plenty of availability to help care for dogs, cats and other animals in need of care/ assistance. I have two loving dogs to keep any animals company, and a plethora of tricks and treats to keep them entertained! Crates are acceptable too
