About: I have always loved animals and during my middle school years up until now (18) have been pet sitting and dog walking for family and friends. I am extremely experienced and have not only taken care of dogs and cats but also fish, rodents, and reptiles. I have owned guinea pigs and fish in the past and I currently have three lovely cats. I will be sure to leave you and your pet happy at the end of my service! My schedule is very open and flexible. I am also willing to wake up early for your pet if needed. I am often available on holidays and weekends as well. I spend time with the pet both indoors and outdoors to make sure that your pet gets their energy out while outside and the loving in while inside. I make sure to keep your pet safe and healthy while your out so you don't have to worry about your fur baby for a second.

About: For the past 16 years, I've had the privilege of caring for the beloved pets of my family and friends. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and needs. My parents have two Xoloitzcuintli (Mexican Hairless) dogs who require plenty of attention, exercise, and interaction. Whenever my parents travel—often for several weeks at a time—I stay in their home to care for them. During that time, I provide multiple daily walks, playtime, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection. I also carefully follow their routine, including administering daily medications and any special care instructions. I also have experience caring for dogs with separation anxiety and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a calm, reassuring environment. Additionally, I cared for a rescue dog with PTSD and, over time, earned their trust to the point where they felt comfortable approaching me for affection. Experiences like these have taught me the value of allowing animals to build trust at their own pace. Cats have been a part of my life for the past 16 years as well. I've cared for cats with a wide range of personalities, from playful kittens and affectionate cuddlers to independent cats and senior companions with special needs. I also volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I helped clean, socialize, play with, and care for the cats to help them feel safe and comfortable while waiting for their forever homes. Whether I'm caring for dogs or cats, my goal is always the same: to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where every pet feels comfortable, cared for, and treated like family. As a full-time student with a flexible schedule, I'm able to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including daytime visits, evening care, weekends, and many last-minute bookings. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet will be treated with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I'm currently a full-time sonography student completing my clinical rotations. Before returning to school, I worked in the medical field, most recently at a cancer center, where I developed a strong commitment to providing compassionate, attentive care. Caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am, and that same dedication extends to the animals I care for. For years, I've been the person family, friends, and neighbors rely on to care for their beloved pets. Whether it's walking dogs, checking in on cats, staying overnight, or helping out with last-minute requests, I genuinely enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Several people encouraged me to join Rover because of how often I already care for their furry family members. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to earn their trust while providing patient, dependable care.

“Nick is awesome, cares so well for the cats and is fully recommend him.”

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for my two dogs, along with boarding and overnight sitting for friends' pets, I’m well-versed in handling dogs of all personalities. I’ve successfully managed unexpected situations, like safely retrieving a dog who got loose from its leash. I offer reliable, loving care for your dog, ensuring they get the attention and exercise they need while you’re away! I work full-time but have availability in the early mornings and afternoons Monday through Friday and possibly on weekends on a pre-scheduled basis. I’m flexible and happy to arrange walk times that fit your schedule, ensuring your dog gets the care and attention they deserve! I’m sorry I’m not able to take care of pets inside my own home due to sensitive household members. I am happy to take care of pets at your home and outside the home.

“Kathryn is a wonderful pet sitter! She took wonderful care of our senior dogs while we were out of town, carefully following their feeding, water, and medication schedule. She was very reliable and kept us updated throughout our trip, even sending us the cutest pictures of our pups enjoying themselves! 🐾❤️ Knowing our dogs were happy, healthy, and so well cared for gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our trip. Kathryn is compassionate, dependable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We’re so grateful for the great care she gave our pups and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”

About: I have been pet sitting cats and dogs for over 10 years. As my family as always been animal lovers, taking care of furry friends comes naturally to me. I love getting to help others while spending time with and caring for their pets. I am a substitute teacher and freelance creative, so I have a lot of freedom to build my own schedule - I usually build it weekly. This allows me to create the best possible schedule for my clients and myself. When I enter someone’s home to care for a pet, I have the utmost respect and care for a clients belongings and spaces. On a walk, I focus on making sure the dog is safe & being aware of our surroundings and having a good time enjoying the fresh air.

“Joey was awesome. Was great with Sasha and sent pictures and kept me informed everyday. Super responsible and Sasha lives him. Joey is the best.”

About: I worked at Bark University, a doggy daycare and groomer in Mundelein. I am also a Biology major at the University of Whitewater Wisconsin, where I plan to become an animal Rehabber and caretaker. I myself own two dogs currently, and one other in the past. I love taking care of them and showing them all the love possible. My dad often goes on business trips that can last up to two weeks, leaving me to take care of my own dogs while he’s gone, so I’ve had lots of experience take care of them by myself. In addition to this I have often taken care of family friends pets while they were out of town. I’m flexible as long as I know about the schedule a day in advance to help me plan my day. I’m mostly free but will say if I’m not otherwise. I give them lots of personal attention and care. I love showing my affection for pets with lots of petting and scratches. I keep a good eye on them while outside and inside to make sure nothing happens. I walk my dogs most days of the week and will always pick up after them.

About: I grew up with German Shepard named Stormy. I loved taking her for long walks or playing in the yard. Throughout college and grad school, I did a lot of pet-sitting for others when they were on vacation. I finally got a dog of my own in my late twenties. Goose is a very lovable, yet lazy dog. We go for long walks but also love a good afternoon nap. I currently work full time. I am looking to do some dog walking on the weekends. Dogs are humans' best friends and should be treated as such. My dog is always my priority in my own routine. I hope that she is when others care for her. I will treat your dog the same. I am looking to be a dog-walker primarily. I love long walks. I am very kind and gentle with animals but also can handle a reactive dog if needed. I have experience with reactive and protective animals. I have only ever had larger dogs in my own home. I'm comfortable with any size dog and any personality type.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up with 2 cats and dogs, and for the past few years I’ve been pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking for families in my community. I’m comfortable administering medications to both cats and dogs and know that every pet has their own unique personality and routine. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including multiple dogs at once, and I’m confident handling everyday distractions while keeping your pet safe and happy. At home, I have one dog, Lucky🐕, and one cat, Jake🐈‍⬛, who keep me active and remind me why I love caring for animals. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own! 🐾❤️ I just graduated from Indiana University, so I am spending my summer job searching. I can be very flexible to work around your pets routine. I am always available on weekends and can be flexible throughout the week! I really only have the occasional meeting or interview. I pride myself in always going over the top for any pet I care for. Whether that’s going the extra block on a walk or playing in the backyard until they are pooped. I have no problem administering any meds in any way they please. Happy to always do right by your pet, and by your home. 🏡

“Selena was amazing!! we booked her last-minute over a holiday break, and she was super communicative, flexible, and thorough throughout the process. We returned home to a happy kitty and saw that she’d even brought packages in for us. Above and beyond, super grateful!”

About: My doggies taught me everything I know. They are no longer here - they went to doggy heaven and we miss them all the time. My teens and I have a lot love to give and want to share with your doggy. You can rest assured we would treat your doggy as if it were ours. Also, anything under 10.5 miles for more than 1 day I offer pick up and dropp off. I work from home and have a very tight routine in our home that will help your pet feel calm and secure. Since pets thrive on routine it will bring them peace and calmness. I can give extra walks when it's a nice day and make sure we stay active if need or relaxed and enjoying a lazy "dog day". I have a quiet, grassy backyard that gives dogs a calm place to sniff, stretch their legs, and enjoy fresh air. It's a low-stress space that's great for potty breaks and relaxed outdoor time. I'm very mindful of which dogs are a good fit for my space and always put safety and comfort first so that your pups feel happy and at ease while they're with me. Doggies are allowed on our beds and couches and even our bathrooms :) - we keep a light sense of humor

About: I have had pets my whole life. I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 4 chickens. As a child we also had a hermit crab and guinea pigs. Pet care never stops at my house, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 4 chickens keep me busy! I have experience with guinea pigs and hermit crabs as well. Will communicate with you while you are away, love to send pictures and tell you about our day! Will spend lots of time on walks and outdoors

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love being around them. I also went to dog grooming school and am certified in dog CPR, so I have experience safely handling all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from big energetic dogs to little ones and seniors who need some extra patience. I’ll always treat your dog like I would my own and make sure they’re safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention! I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I love being active and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m happy to work around your pets normal schedule whenever possible. Making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable is always my first priority. My training at Midwest School of Dog Grooming taught me proper handling and safety techniques for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also attended dog safety seminars and am dog CPR certified. I’ll respect your pets routine, your home, and any specific instructions you leave for me

“Brittany did a great job taking care of my cat! She was always on time for her visits and provided detailed updates and pictures after every check-in, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was attentive, caring, and made sure my cat was well taken care of and got plenty of love and attention. I really appreciated her communication and reliability. I would definitely recommend Brittany to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

“Toni always goes above and beyond with our cats! We have a shy cat and by her second time having come to visit, the shy girl was willing to make herself known. That speaks volumes about Toni’s soul. Such a good person. We can’t wait for her to visit again!”

“Our dog Dottie loves her time with Jamie! Jamie communicates well and takes great care of her.”

“Christina was amazing!! We knew she was special when she got our very timid Bodhi to come out of hiding on her very first visit!! She sent lots of photos and updates, and our spoiled kitties were clearly very happy and pampered in her care. She made us feel a lot less guilty about leaving them, haha. We would highly recommend her, and would definitely have her look after our kitties again 😊”
