About: 🩷 I have been around dogs since I was very young! With that being said, I currently have one of my own and have watched many dogs and cats for friends and family! I absolutely love spending time with animals and making it a priority that they feel special and loved! Your animals will love me! 🩷 *SCHEDULE CHANGE* I am now working Monday-Friday 8AM-4:30PM. I am still available after work and all day on Saturdays & Sundays. Thank you so much! My dog is trained to stay in my yard and has free roam of the house. He is spoiled with treats, many toys, and so much love! I will provide your animals the careful attention they require to meet your unique demands.

About: I've been caring for animals most of my life, from growing up with family dogs to being a dedicated cat owner for the past four years. Caring for pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and giving each animal the love and attention they deserve. Although I'm new to Rover, I'm committed to providing dependable, personalized care and treating every pet like they're part of my own family. I'll always follow your pet's routine, keep you updated with photos, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm available Monday through Saturday during the morning and afternoon for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I have a flexible part-time schedule, so I'm happy to work with your pet's routine whenever possible. Sundays are my day off, so I'm unavailable that day. When caring for your pet in your home, I'll follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of playtime, walks (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I'll also keep your home tidy, clean up after your pet, and provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for in the place they know best.

About: I truly believe pets have the sweetest souls and can form the best bonds with us, which makes them not just our babies, but our best loyal friends. I have had pets in my home my whole life and I can't imagine it any other way. From snuggles to playing or walking your dog ( if hired for dog walking) I will treat them as if they are my own, with love and attention. I love the many personalities of each fury friend and getting to know each one and connect with them. I do not charge per pet, I charge per visit no matter how many pets you have. I am currently working part time during the day but can adjust my schedule to do drop ins in the early morning, afternoon's and evenings! Feel free to message me so we can work something out! I am Available on most weekends as well. I am not currently offering pet care in my home however I am happy to come to your home for drop in visits and dog walking! I charge per visit, not per pet.

About: My husband and I are very unique. We would have a farm if we could. We live in a smaller home, but have so much love between our pets and kids. I hope we can raise our 3 kids to love animals as much as we do. I have been a pet sitter for about 15 years, but grew up in a house of animals. My family's huge animal lovers. I have stayed for weeks at a time with families, dog walked, issued medicine to pets, and just simply stopped in to let them out and hang for a bit. We have had dogs and cats stay with us while families are on vacation and made it work perfectly. My kids knowing they are small, are great w the animals too. I am just excited to make your fur baby feel safe and loved while you're away. *Update: We just added bathing and nail clipping as an add on option! My husband's mom owned the Canine Clipper that was in business for over 30 years. He grew up as cheap labor for 15 years in the shop washing, drying and trimming nails of any cats and dogs that came. We do not offer grooming services as that is not in our wheelhouse. Have you pet come home feeling and smelling fresh! I just had our new baby born on August 8th this year. I have three boys that I am obsessed with. I love being a boy mama 💙 I am a personal trainer but have cut back on hours so I can hang w my kids while they are young. I sometimes forget about how I was a nanny for 10 years and a dog sitter for about 15. I would love to do my passion again knowing I have so much more free time at home. My 5 year old is in school all day, my 3 year old has preschool twice a week for 2 hrs, and my newborn just goes for the ride. I'm always home on the weekends, and during the week I'm always looking to do something-which I would love to show my kids how to treat animals. If your pet is not good w kids, I can also drop them off w their grandma for a bit. I always make it happen ❤️ She loves some grandson time. All our pets are spoiled because they are our family too. Our dogs have dog beds all around, even though they sleep on couches and beds w us. The cats have cat towers and toys and get the free range of the house. We used to have a nanny because I wanted someone here for the kids, but also the pets. It always made me feel better knowing someone would always be there for them too.

About: My 17 years of experience as a dog owner has given me a deep understanding of each dogs unique needs and behaviors. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all ages and sizes—whether in my home or theirs—tailoring my care based on each dog’s unique needs. Whether it's providing extra attention for senior dogs, teaching a puppy basic manners, or adapting to any special requirements, I make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and well-cared for. Since my Australian Shepherds don’t have a flock of sheep to herd, I’m their "job" instead! When I’m at home, they’re my loyal little shadows. They’re surprisingly chill for Aussies, but I like to think it’s because I’m an awesome dog mom... and they’re technically working most of the day as my supervisors. They make sure everything runs smoothly by reminding me if I'm even a minute late with their meals, when it’s time for potty breaks, when to wake up my son, when it’s time to play—the list goes on! I offer caring and reliable dog sitting and walking services tailored to keep your pup happy, healthy, and engaged. As a proud owner of two Australian Shepherds, I understand the importance of attention, exercise, and companionship for dogs. Whether it's a stroll around the neighborhood, a quick potty break, or some fun playtime in a safe and nurturing environment, I’ll make sure your dog feels right at home while you’re away. I provide both in-home dog sitting, so your dog can remain in the comfort of their own space, as well as dog sitting at my home for longer care needs. My dogs are friendly and enjoy making new friends, so your pup will have plenty of companionship during their stay. While I do have a crate available if needed, please note that I do not have a fenced-in yard. My dogs love off-leash play, so if your dog needs to be kept on a leash outdoors, please provide clear care instructions to ensure their safety and comfort.

About: I bring 7+ years of pet care experience, including working in a daycare setting where I cared for multiple dogs at once. I focus on safety, structure, fun playtime, and personalized attention to every during alone time. Making sure they feel comfortable, confident, and excited to see me. I am currently completing an externship for school, which takes place earlier in the day. I have open availability after 2pm on weekdays and flexible availability on weekends, making it easy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended care as needed. I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I closely follow feeding schedules, leash guidelines, and any special instructions provided. I maintain clean spaces, supervise all interactions, and communicate updates regularly so pet parents feel confident and at ease.

About: I've taken care of my family and friends pets for them since I was a kid. I have experience with larger breeds like rotties and Danes as well as small dogs. I'm currently working part time and have a pretty flexible schedule so I can watch your pets and take care of all their needs without stress. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of toys and a big area for them to run around in as well as two neighbor dogs that they can play with if they need socializing.

About: I have been caring for a cane Corso for the past 10 years. I have three cats who I adore very much altogether. I love animals.

“My dogs love Michell! Michell is always on time and does a good walk with the dogs.”

About: I worked full time for a shelter and loved working with every animal there. Meeting them at their level so that their needs were completely fulfilled was my passion. Whether they were high or low energy, dim or bright, friendly or not, I thrived on figuring out what would make the the most adoptable and what would make them most comfortable in the harsh shelter environment. It was a difficult and demanding job at times especially when I needed to provide first aid or medication/therapy for ailing animals but I always enjoyed coming home knowing I did something that meant something to those parent-less pets. I also had the lovely opportunity to work the social media for the shelter and take photos and videos of each animal to best display their personalities to the wider public who wouldn't normally see them otherwise. I currently work part time with very flexible hours so I am frequently available to provide service to both my own pets and others. I find it very fulfilling to be able to make time for my own furry friends! Working in a shelter environment I often met many animals at their lowest when they were beyond scared and upset. I got exposure to many dogs and cats that were horribly unadapted to life around people and had personalities on either end of the spectrum. I am more than comfortable with animals that are more aggressive in both appearance and personality and was frequently tasked with retrieving abandoned or lost animals using the company van.

About: My name is Allie, i currently reside in highland Indiana. I recently loss my best friend/other half Black lab "buck". Buck was 13, id do anything to have him back. He taught me so much about love, patience, and appreciation. animals deserve it all and i want to be the to give your friend that too! Im very active, i love taking long walks, trips to the beach, and hike long trails. im also flexible, understanding and very easy to work with . If your dog comes to my home, your dog will be treated like he/she is my own. I have experience with all breeds. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. i love taking pictures and sending updates of your friend throughout the day! Currently my availability is wide open. I go to the gym 4 times a week, but other than that mostly home with my 3 dogs. We have a fenced in yard. Our 2 younger dogs are crated during the day if we're gone. Other than the dogs pretty much have free rein to the coach and to feel at home. Our dogs also eat on a schedule. But we can accommodate your pets needs.

About: I love animals. I have owned a horse, birds and fish. Although I never owned a dog or cat, Friends and family have always asked me to pet sit and I have always been more than happy to ablige. As a former letter Carrier, my favorite customers were four-legged. I am retired and want to stay active. Who can keep you more fit and active than a dog that is waiting for a walk-date? When I have dog sat, I usually go for multiple walks. I can walk all day. The dogs love it and it makes them tired. Animals need mental stimulation outside of their house or yard just like people. I try to find things to keep us both busy and happy.

About: They call me that because once you start feeding squirrels, birds, stray cats, neighborhood dogs walking by, and maybe a raccoon & possum once or twice, like me, then you’ll start to befriend them. Soon after it’ll start to feel like animals are attracted to you (but it’s mostly because I give them food lol). I go by Janet and I love animals from feathery to furry. I have 4 birds, 7 cats and 1 turtle (all rescues). I know that with the proper care and instruction I can take care of any friend! New update from November 2025 - I’m back on Rover after a year-long hiatus and accepting new clients in the Chicago land area and northwest Indiana. 😊 My husband and I moved into a house with a spacious backyard in Lansing, Illinois. I’m open for arranging pick up and drop off as I do have a reliable transportation. Lastly, a meet and greet at my home would be ideal so your pup(s) can meet my husband, who will be there a majority of the time, and get a feel of where they will be staying. But rest assured I will be 100% responsible at all times for your pup(s) while under my care. I currently work from home. I set my own schedule, so I’m available to work whenever I am needed including mornings and weekends. Preferably daytime and Fri - Sat date night evening. I care for pets by making sure to thoroughly read care instructions and immediately contacting the owner by either call or txt if I have any questions. And most importantly by never letting them out of my sight!

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets with different needs and routines. I have taken care of a 1-year-old cat along with 3 other adult cats, including a cat who required at least 30 minutes of playtime and interaction every day. I have also cared for a large dog who ate home-cooked soup mixed with his food at specific feeding times, as well as a husky who stayed in an air-conditioned dog house unit and required daily vitamins and attentive care. I am good at following direction for the desired care you and your pet need. I work remotely and any activities I plan I would plan around a schedule if at all with the pet in mind. I will plan in advance for the openings I have in my schedule to permit me to be with the pet. I typically stay in the pets home to create a less stressful environment for the pet and go about its daily routine as instructed by the pet owner. I will stay as long as required by the pet owner or stay in a guest bedroom all day depending on what makes the pet owner most comfortable with.

About: I am a Veterinarian Technician with 7 years experience. I graduated from Fox college Vet Tech Institute and working with animals is my passion. I have experience working with Dogs, Cats, Rodents, Rabbits, Exotics, and Birds. I offer additional care for seniors pets (Ex: taking them on shorter more frequent walks) and pets who have health concerns. (Ex: Giving medications). Book with me and your pet will be in great hands! I am available 7 days a week! I offer Early morning walks, afternoon walks, evening walks, and night time walks. What ever time works for you most likely works for me! I live in an animal friendly apartment! I have a large kennel if your pet prefers to sleep in one. I have a big field of grass behind me for leash walks / play time.

About: I have watched dogs and cats both long term and short term since 2018. From my parents’ pets for a day, to a 4 months house and pet-sitting arrangement in California I have had good experiences caring for animals. I take their care as seriously as I would my own pet, but respect the rules and routines set up by the pet parents. I am currently unemployed outside of this, so I have tons of availability and time to focus on YOUR pets and their needs. I can spend as much or as little time with them as needed. I care for pets based on the instructions of their normal care takers, while focusing on basic care and schedule. It’s important to me that pets feel safe and their routine is not disturbed too much. If allows, I also like to give plenty of pets and cuddles to any animals that’s accept it.
