“I was nervous to leave our rescue cats which we’d only had for a couple of months. Two weeks is a long time! Sarah did a great job and played with them every day. Will definitively call her again.”


“Erika was great! She was so attentive with my cats. I've had her watch multiple times and I always get lots of updates and photos. She goes above and beyond. Thank you & I look forward to the next time!”


About: I've had a dog for nearly 14 years and have always been well acquainted with animals. Over the past few years I've also animal sat for many family and friends. Looking after dogs, cats, and even a rabbit. I'm currently a student at Kishwaukee College and looking for part-time work over the summer to pair up with my internship. My schedule is pretty flexible so pet care is an easy way to work. I'm well aware of how cats and dogs try to bolt through the door when it's opened, or knock food bowls out of your hands, and all of their own unique personalities. So I am prepared to work with pets and owners to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible.


“Nadine watched our 18 year old cat while we were gone. She took great care of him even spending time with him in her lap. He was happy and healthy when we came home. The daily pictures and updates let us know all was well so we could relax and enjoy our trip. Would definitely recommend.”



“Stephanie very clearly cares about the animals she looks after and it is easy to see she has their best interest at heart. She also is able to read the personalities of different animals and caters her care to each specific animal. I am so glad she is around and will definitely call her again!”


“Scott took amazing care of my girl who needs extra help getting around. He was very attentive and sent detailed updates along with photos after each drop-in. My dog had a lot of fun with Scott and she seemed very comfortable and relaxed around him. Highly recommend him!”


“Jazz is caring and professional! She accomdated all our requests, communicated well, and Lia loved her drop-in visits. You can trust your pet will be well cared for and your home respected - don't hesitate to book!”


“In the past we’ve used a boarding service for our kitty Douglas, but due to him coming home stressed out more often than not this time we decided to try rover for our 6 day trip and we are glad we did! Luy followed all our directions and we came home to a happy kitty cat! We had no issues while away and felt like our baby was very safe with Luy. We will be using her again when we take our next trip!”


“Grace was friendly, responsive, and on time. My dog, who can be a bit shy and nervous around new people warmed up to Grace right away. That says a lot! Highly recommend.”


About: I have had dogs since I was born through today. I am also an approved Foster dog parent through Tiny & Tall Rescue of St. Charles, IL. Currently, i have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own. I recently worked for a pet sitting company in the area called Pause for Pets but they closed their business at the end of June. I am currently a stay-at-home Mom with a very flexible schedule. I am also an approved Foster dog parent through Tiny & Tall Rescue of St. Charles, IL. I was working for a pet sitting company called Pause for Pets that closed its doors at the end of June. I can provide references. I have always treated my pets like they are part of my family, and I plan to treat your pets that way as well. I love all animals and think they deserve the BEST lives.

About: I've spent over a decade caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes and personalities and I absolutely love it! Whether it is a high-energy pup who is ready to chase squirrels through imaginary forests, a wise senior pet who perfers sun soaked naps, or a tender-hearted rescue dog who needs a safe, calm environment, I tailor my care to honor each pet's unique rhythm and soul. My priority is to always provide safe, loving and personalized care so your pet feels comfortable, joyful and truly at home. I am reliable, communicative and detail oriented so that you can relax knowing your pet is in capable, caring hands. The services I provide range from walks through leafy paths, nourishing meals, enchanting playtime, cleanup and administering daily medications. I treat each and every pet like family and I would be honored to welcome yours into my little circle of tail-wagging magic. My schedule is open and flexible, typically from 7am to 8pm every day of the week. I am happy to tailor my availability to suit your needs, whether it is for an sunrise stroll, or a quiet evening check in, I'll be there with a calm reliability and a gentle presence that puts both you and your pet at ease. I take my time to get to know each and every animal I provide care for, whether it is walking, drop in vists or housesitting so they feel safe, understood and truly at ease. I strive to create a calm, secure environment that feels a little magical where your pet can relax, play and be themselves. Think of me as a gentle guardian, frolicking through the day with your furry companion making sure their needs are met with kindness and care.

About: Experience with newborn pups to senior dogs. I follow special instructions very well to cater to you and your dog. Medication is no problem with me. I love to play with dogs, cuddle and pet them, give belly rubs, take them for walks and exploring outside. I work part-time at home and am very flexible. I typically dog sit any day of the week, and I overnight watch a friend’s dog quite often as well. I used to care for my brother’s bunny, Peanut and now I’ve been watching a friend’s dog consistently for the past two years. I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life and currently have 2 dogs, Lola and Rosie, a cat, Frisco, and my horse, Captain.

“Amy is fantastic! Very friendly and really bonded with our two crazy cats. Lots of pictures which we appreciate being away. Felt very confident my kitties and plants were in good hands.”


“I used Lizzie for my cat, Kiki, while out of town for the week. Lizzie provided exceptional care during her drop-ins & the pics she sent made my day! My cat loved her. I highly recommend her”


About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my seven years of hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals—not just dogs and cats, but also birds, chickens, and horses. I bring a calm, confident presence that helps animals feel at ease, even those with special needs or unique temperaments. I understand that every pet is different and take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. My background in animal care goes beyond the basics, and I treat each pet like my own—with patience, respect, and genuine love. Whether it’s a cuddle session, a long walk, or specialized care, I’m here to provide reliable, attentive service you can count on. I currently work full-time, but I have time Saturdays and Sundays for petsitting. I usually work shorter hours Tuesday and Wednesday, so i’m available as well Tuesday through Thursday. I always follow your instructions whether that be taking your dog out on a long lead, or constant watching in your fenced in yard. I make sure they get fed on time, potty breaks if they need them a certain time apart, ie every hour, etc.

“I have a cat that requires subcutaneous fluids and I needed someone to drop in while I was on vacation to give those to her and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better than Meg! She did such a great job, communicated well, I trusted her completely, and her care meant that I could relax and enjoy my vacation instead of worrying about my cat. If I ever needed someone to look after my cat again, I’d happily rebook with Meg.”



About: I am a stay-at-home mom to 2 young children and also a dog lover. We are located in far west St. Charles/Elburn area and I service most of western Kane County. Our family has had three wonderful pups--two large, energetic yellow Labrador Retrievers and a rowdy American Bulldog. We just lost our oldest lab and I miss all that loyalty and energy! I am looking for local families who need daily dog walking and drop-in visits in their own home. I am very comfortable and experienced caring for dogs of all sizes as well as other household pets. I'd love to help your pup get some fresh air and exercise while you're at work, gone for the weekend or gone on vacation. I am very reliable, responsible and a great communicator. I may have my children with me at times, so my only requirement is that the pet must be able to be trusted around kids. I have a very flexible schedule during the week and most weekends!
