“Jen has been walking my dog twice a week since late February. Jen is dependable and treats my dog with care and compassion. Jen is also very flexible- she has jumped in for extra walks to support my changing schedule. She is quick to reply with updates. Thanks for all you do Jen!”


About: I have had the pleasure and joy of being able to take care of lots of different animals for over 10 years. I spent some time on a farm where taking care of sheep, pigs, chicken, ducks, and the barn cats and dogs was a daily thing. Later on, I was the proud mama of a german shepherd named Bruno who stole my heart in every way. Unfortunately he is now gone since November of 2023. Since then, my lifestyle has changed and I am not able to have another dog of my own due to long working hours four days out of the week. However I love taking care of pets, especially dogs, and this is the perfect way to still have a connection with these wonderful creatures, even if they are not my own :) I promise to take care of yours as if it was my own! They will be royally treated with me! My Fridays through Sundays are free from other work and I would love to be able to take care of your pets, especially your dogs! I have a spacious home where your pet can feel free to roam and rest. I also have many trails I can take them on walks. There is also a spacious park area where we can play around if that's what your dog prefers! If I am coming to your home, I am more than happy to walk them short or long distances, play with them, or tend to any other pet needs!

“Natalie is really great at what she does. She fills me in on what my dog does while walking him and do on… she’s seriously awesome! Flexible and kind. My Bohdi (black lab puppy) lovesssss her!”


About: I'm a dog lover dedicated to providing top-notch care and fun-filled adventures for furry friends. I'm experienced with all kinds of dogs and cats. I am ready to feed them and give them lots of love and care. I've been working at a dog daycare, so I have hands-on experience caring for pups in a group setting, as well as one on one. I'm excited to meet new furry friends. I'm available every morning and evening for walks and visits. I'm available all day on weekends. I would love to hang out with furry friends. I keep everything clean. I always replace water bowls with fresh water and feed any pets. I love to take dogs on walks or cuddle and play with them. I treat all pets as my own.

“Cheyenne is the sweetest! She was so punctual and made sure to follow all my instructions I left behind. Thank you for watching loki so last minute and on a holiday! We appreciate you for giving him all the love and cuddles!”


“Aury was so flexible with our Pepper. Originally booked for 3 days drop in visit, but due to our flight cancellations, we had to extend 2 extra days. Aury went above and beyond to make sure Pepper was fed and got his medicine, and the ease of adding extra days made me feel a lot better about not being home in time. Will definitely be using Aury again for our next vacation.”


“Brian is great, every time! We even had a mix-up with our dates, and ended up booking him for the wrong weekend. Brian was able to accommodate us at the last possible second! He's awesome!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. I’ve also taken care of senior dogs, so I know how to handle their special care. I’m very experienced in feeding and grooming, and I love the companionship it brings to a family! I am a stay at home mom, and my husband works from home, so there’s always someone there to watch and play with your fur baby! We always have lots of time for walking and playing throughout the day. I have an extremely safe neighborhood with a little park about a 3 minute walk away, two kids that love playing with dogs, (15 and 8) and an extremely friendly mini goldendoodle!

About: I’ve been caring for, training, and owning dogs nearly my whole life starting from childhood to now fostering/watching for friends and family. I’ve also had experience working professionally as a pet sitter. Whether your pup is large or small I’ll care for them as if they were my own and bring all the playful energy as a young adult to provide a fun experience during my time with them. I currently work remotely and have increased flexibility for scheduling needs. Although I will need to primarily be at home during my working hours I am able to ensure your pets are taken care of in a timely fashion without being left for too long without potty breaks. Your boundaries for your animals whether they be rules or practices in your personal home will be closely followed and respected. I bring my years of pet experience to ensure their safety is my top priority when staying with them overnight or providing daily care along with giving them the company they’ll need while you are away.

“Ally did fantastic! She was very tentative and responsive coming to meet my dog and I before heading out of town! She checked in every time and took pictures so I knew my dog was in good hands! She really helped me feel at ease leaving my home and dog for a few days. This was my first time using Rover and I WILL be using Ally again! Highly recommend!”


“We were so lucky to find Kaitlyn! She responded quickly and was able to take on the job with very short notice, which we really appreciated. From the start, her communication was incredible—she sent detailed updates every visit along with adorable photos and videos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Not only did she take great care of our cats, but she also went above and beyond by bringing in our packages and even cleaning up without us asking. It’s rare to find someone so thoughtful and thorough. We’ll absolutely be using Kaitlyn again and couldn’t recommend her more!”


About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by puppies, kittens, and all kinds of animals. I was there when my first dog gave birth and helped raise the puppies, learning how to train them along the way. This past year, I’ve cared for my senior dog when she had trouble walking and caregiving. I’ve also had the pleasure of walking and caring for dogs of all sizes for several families. With my lifelong experience with dogs and cats, I know exactly how to make sure your pet gets the best care! I currently have two dogs of my own and absolutely love spending time with them!! They are my babies I am available for pet care during the evenings and early mornings, and I’m also available on weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) for dog walks or weekend dog sitting. I take care of pets in a cozy, safe space. I make sure they get their walks, playtime, and plenty of love. I stick to their feeding schedule and keep things clean—making sure they have their favorite toys around and giving them the love and attention that they need! When I’m at your place, I follow your pet’s routine to keep things as normal as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I’ll also make sure the place stays clean and tidy, and your pet gets all the attention they need while you’re away!

About: I’ve been a pet/house sitter for the past few years. Which I love playing with pets and taking care of them. I use to have a yellow lab named Duke. I would bring him to the dog park and let him run around and play with the other dogs at the dog park. I would also take him on walks and brush him. because he sheds a lot. I also have 2 horses and have been riding since I was 8. I have a part-time job at athletico physical therapy Wauconda. This is my work schedule at athletico physical therapy. Monday’s 7am-2pm Tuesday’s 10:30am-2:30pm Wednesday’s 7am-2pm Thursday’s 10:30am-2:30pm I would follow the instructions that the owners would leave for me to keep their pets safe and happy. If I have any questions I would ask.

About: Hi! I recently graduated from Indiana University this past May and just moved back home before starting a full-time job in September. I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and personalities. My family currently has three, including our sweet 13-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog, so I’m very comfortable caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets. While in college, I spent four years volunteering at our local animal shelter, where I eventually adopted my own rescue dog. I’ve also been trusted by neighbors and friends for years to walk, feed, and love on their pets. With some extra time this summer, I’m excited to spend it doing something I genuinely enjoy, caring for animals! Right now, I’m working a part-time remote internship, which gives me a lot of flexibility during the week. I’m available from early mornings to late evenings on weekdays and am happy to work my schedule around your dog’s needs. Weekends are when I’m typically off from work and recharging, but I’m happy to chat if something comes up and you need help! When caring for pets, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and respect any rules in place. I’m experienced with dogs who require special attention or extra supervision and always prioritize their safety and comfort. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, managing medications, or being mindful of behavior cues, I treat every pet like my own.

She’s sweet, soft and cuddly with the animals and makes sure they’re fed on time and if they have health issues, made sure the dogs took what they needed. Please give her a try and you will be satisfied just like I was!”
