We can't recommend Julia highly enough! She is caring, considerate and responsive. Our rescue dog has enjoyed doggy day care and weekly walks with her. We appreciate the peace of mind we have leaving our sweet friend in Julia's care.

Joy was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She provided a safe, fun, and caring environment, and it was clear how much she truly loves animals. My pup came home happy and relaxed. This was my first time using Rover and Joy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter! 🐾

It was a relief with all of our funeral planning taking place in Chicago, to know that Ms. Bernice was going to take care of Niko. This was his first time at any day care and it seems that this will help us as we work with him to socialize with other dogs. Overall, she was very cooperative, reliable and conveniently located to our hotel. We would use her services again.

My fur baby slept like a baby when he got home. I would say he enjoyed his time away.

We had a great experience!! No issues with drop off or pick up. Our dog Fish is extremely shy and timid but he adjusted immediately with Jesseeka. He came back in the cutest bow and tail wagging all over the place I could tell he had a great time. Thank you so much we will definitely be back!

Barb took great care of our sweet fur baby! She sent us text and picture updates throughout the day, and we knew our pup was in good hands! Our dog socialized and made new friends with Barb’s two dogs. I recommend Barb and will use her next time we are in the area!

About: Your sweeties are in caring hands 💛 ✅ Experience with pets of all ages & personalities. ✅ Work from home: Attentive to strict care plan. ✅ Happy to assist with training/manners 🐾. As a pet owner of 35 years and a life-long animal lover, I’ve cared for my own puppies, kittens, and elderly pets over the years. Their quirky personalities have brought nothing but joy to our home! I’ve also cared for exotic littles such as snakes, bearded dragons, hamsters, gerbils, chameleons, ferrets, parakeets, Sun Conure Parrots and farm animals (chickens, pigs, horses, “farm sitting”)! Don’t hesitate to ask if you need additional help. We have 2 dogs of our own: One loves to socialize and play with our guests, while the other usually searches for the sunniest window in the house, to nap until the next potty/treat break. Working from home allows me to be attentive to strict potty/medication and walk/play schedules (if your pet is in need of a regimented care plan). I offer drop-in play dates, walks, back-yard potty/play dates and feeding/litter changes, based upon your instruction. I’m also able to host your pets in my home, if you need a sitter. Before booking boarding services with new clients, I request a meet & greet, so that I can get to know everyone and have a clear understanding of your pet’s personality and needs 😁!

About: Feel free to message me about availability. I am a lifelong pet owner and pet lover. I've had large and small dogs, cats, lizards and birds. I currently have 2 dogs, Coco and Lando and a cat named Giblet. I've cared for pets for friends and relatives for many years & thought I would branch out to Rover. I believe that pets are part of our families and in treating them with the kindness and attention that they deserve. I know that pet parents know their fur-babies best and all instructions will be followed. Your pet's well being and comfort is my #1 priority. I work days - Monday through Friday. I have some early morning availability as well as late afternoon/evening and weekends. I will try to be as flexible as possible. I enjoy finding new enrichment games to keep my dogs busy and incorporating training on their walks. I can drop in for potty breaks, walks, feedings, medicine or just play and cuddle time.

Maddox stayed with Shannon for about 6 hours while our family hosted a Christmas Buffet at our home. Shannon was wonderful! We got pictures and updates throughout the evening and got great feedback from her when we went to pick him up. During our correspondence before the stay she got back to me so quickly and was just all around great! Thanks so much, Shannon!

About: I took care of and was responsible for my dad’s golden retriever for 7 years while my dad battled kidney disease. I also grew up around our family Westie & German Shepard in my home that were super attached to me. So I am very attentive to a dogs need for love and care when away from the owner. Also first time guests and last minute requests must schedule a meet and greet I use to be flexible with this but situations have happened that caused me no longer be flexible. In addition I do not accept any pets without a safe reliable comfortable crate. As I do not allow free roaming in my home when I am not present. Your pet safety is my top priority. Being in a new environment for the first time pets will be pets. They aren’t perfect. Feel free to ask me any questions if need be. **(For example old pictures of pet only to arrive and they are 3 times the size) - 100% we have to have a meet n greet prior to sitting. Returning customers the meet and greet does not apply. For last minute requests please contact me directly I will try my best to accommodate but please be advised there may be a fee associated depending on the circumstance. If you have any questions please set up a time with me to hop on a call using the rover app. I will use my time to make sure your dog is loved and cared for the way you express to be done. I’m happy to send updates throughout the day/night & available for FaceTime video calls for you to check on your dog! I’m happy to show you my backyard area with pictures or video at your convenience. I can easily crate Your dog if you have a crate which is preferable especially if this is your first time booking with me and I never met your dog before.

About: I have experience caring for all types of animals: dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, rodents, etc. You name it, I can care for it! Whatever your needs may be, your pets will be in great hands! I plan to devote all of my time and effort into ensuring your animals get all of their needs met, whether you have a high energy pup who needs lots of stimulation or just a chill baby who wants to cuddle on the couch. I have a fenced-in backyard and a friendly dog to keep yours company! I can also easily provide crate training if necessary or requested. I have 3 cats who are very used to all other animals but can easily be put up if your animal doesn't like cats. Whether I watch your animals at my house or yours, I simply ask for a detailed list of everything you want/need done, specifically if they have any special needs.
