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.

“Anna was just wonderful! She came for drop-in visits and looked after my dog and cat while we were gone for 8 days. I looked forward to seeing the photos of my sweet dog on his walks and I couldn’t believe my extremely shy cat made appearances for photos, too! We were relaxed on our vacation knowing our pets were well looked after. Thank you so very much, Anna!”

About: I have a deep love for dogs and extensive experience caring for them. I understand their needs, provide attentive care, and ensure their safety and happiness. With a calm and reliable approach, I’m committed to making every pet feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. 🚫I DON’t HAVE CRATES!!! 🚫 I’m currently studying part time twice a week and my kids spend the whole day at school. So I’m available during the day to help many families who need help with their dogs. I have a pet area in my condominium and I can provide daily exercises.

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.

“Kelsey watched our cat for a week while we were out of town. She was always on time, took great photos and took excellent care of “our boy.” An issue came up with our garage door opening on its own, and Kelsey quickly got in touch with us and manually closed the door. And she made sure our house was secure. She made us feel completely secure knowing our house and our cat were being taken care of. We would definitely use Kelsey’s services again.”

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.

“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!”

Samantha M.

“Extremely happy with Christine. This is the first time I've had a drop in visit for my pets in 10 years. Christine reassured me and even came to visit my fur babies before. She brought an ease and I felt complete trust that they were in good hands. I was given many updates every visit and pictures. She was thoughtful and always on time. My pets were very comfortable with her. Which made my trip less stressful. I would definitely recommend Christine and I will happily recommend her and have her back again in the future.”

“Followed instructions left perfectly for our little pup!”

“This was our first time with Amna and she did an amazing job! She was consistently early to the drop in visits and was very communicative with us while we were away. Our cats were very comfortable with her, even from the first time they met her. We felt at ease being away from home knowing Amna was taking care of our kitties and we couldn’t recommend her more! :)”

Hillary M.

“Toni is amazing!! She has watched our cats many times for over a year now, and she has been so good with our cats going above and beyond. She always sends pictures and my normally grumpy cat seems to be so comfortable with her. I can’t recommend Toni enough!”

Gracie R.

“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 😊”
