“I can't say enough good things about Laura. Professional, loving, attentive, my dogs just love her! I was nervous leaving my dogs with a sitter. All my worries were for nothing!! She's fantastic!!”
About: I started volunteering at the animal shelter when I was 10. I have 5 dogs and 8 cats that I have rescued from abusive/neglectful homes, the streets, and from the shelter. I took a vet tech class in high school and a big/small animal class. I’m very good with all kinds and types of animals. I work part time currently, 4 to 5 hours a day Monday-Thursday and I’m off Friday-Sunday. I will definitely be able to care for and engage with your pet when needed. When I go to a new house to dog sit I always lock the doors and make sure to follow all rules I have been given. I stay very aware of my surroundings and the animal.
“Ashley did great with our two pups! She seemed to know how to navigate our more anxious pup and get her to warm up to her, which is huge for me as I worry about our anxious girl! Our other pup is deaf and a bit of a handful, but she did great!”
“Nicole and Gabriel took such good care of our dog, Sunny, while we were in the hospital giving birth to our child. We are eternally grateful to them for not having to worry about our 4-legged firstborn and for offering to dog sit on such short notice! We will not hesitate to call them again next time we need a sitter. Thank you both ~ you’re the best!”
“Gina is the best. We have 2 bigger dogs and she handles them great. We don’t worry at all when they are in her hands and we’ve even taken longer trips up to 5 days. She is pleasant and responsible with a nice sense of humor. Our dogs love her and are comfortable around her. You can tell Gina is a dog person by the way she interacts with them. No fear and completely comfortable which also helps the pups not be anxious while we are gone. I highly recommend Gina.”

About: My pet care experience consists of having a dog throughout my childhood and adult years. I've always loved the companionship of owning a dog and also visiting or babysitting families and friends' dogs/cats. With having a dog comes a lot of responsibility and attention whether that's feeding, letting outside, physical activity, and training. I'm experienced in all of those qualities. The pet care that I will be using through the new dogs and cats I meet are the basics of giving treats, going for walks, and playing fetch or ball. Those basics are important and useful for dog caregivers because any dog would love the attention and care that you are giving them unconditionally. I'm also experienced in grooming with bathing the pet if needed. Whether that's outside with a hose and soap or inside in a bathtub. Dogs are my best friends and should be treated with love and companionship therefore I would treat the dog and make sure they are happy and comfortable but also safe and calm at all times. My schedule is very flexible and in the case of babysitting or walking a dog, I will be attentive and responsible. Since I currently have a dog at home I take her outside frequently, stay outside with her and walk around the backyard or throw a toy and play fetch or even just sit in the grass and give her belly rubs. My daily routine consists of letting my dog outside and hanging out with her off and on while also letting her have time to rest and chill by herself. My weekly routine is the same as my daily routine aside from additional car rides, pup cups, or cousin visits with other dogs. The safety, trust & Environment of the care for the pet in my home and or my client's home will consist of making sure all doors are shut when entering and exiting the home or garage. Also making sure the dog is on a leash and well equipped when walking through a neighborhood. I also have a fenced-in yard so I'm experienced with fences and the proper precautions if needed. I can easily create your dog too if needed. Also water supply and refilling the water bowl as needed and giving supplements or medicine also. Also will have the clients contact information in case of emergency.
About: I have 5 dogs in my household that I have trained and taken care of when my family goes out of town for soccer, I am more than happy to cater to your babies as well! I am currently working part time at a trampoline park, so recently business has been slow. Many people are asking for more hours, but there is so much the business can do. I am no opening my options up to pet sitting, because I love animals and I am glad to see families that love there pets as well! I let dogs/puppies out every 2 hours. My personal dogs eat twice a day, but depending on how the clients feeding schedule I can feed as wanted. Water is always available to them. They will get play time with there potty breaks as well.
“Shelbie did an amazing job taking care of our pup. We loved getting the messages and pics that helped us see how happy our pup was. This is the first time we’ve done dog/house sitting through Rover, but we will definitely hire Shelbie again!”
About: I have been a lifelong pet owner, with pets of all varieties. My current pets include a 12 beagle mix we have had since she was a puppy and 3 cats ages range from 15 years old to 7 years old. I have a full time Monday-Friday job and am just looking for some weekend sitting in my home. I am available from 5:30 pm on Friday until 7:30 pm on Sunday. Extended hours may be possible can discuss in further details if needed I have a fenced in yard. I can crate if needed. The animals are allowed on the furniture in my house. I have some toys but my older girl is just not too interested anymore.
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, growing up with dogs, cats, birds, and even lizards. My mom was an animal lover, and I’ve followed in her footsteps. I helped my dad with his three cats that my mom used to care for before she passed, driving an hour every week for grooming and bathing (one of them is a bit oversized!). I’d love to care for your beloved pet. Although I can’t have pets of my own due to my wife’s allergies, this makes pet sitting my dream job! I regularly care for my father’s cat, Jack, traveling over an hour each way, so distance is not an issue for me. I work seasonally for a cemetery in Bloomington which leaves me laid off from December 1st to March 1st each year. So I am highly available in that 3 month span, and then on weekends during the rest of the year. I’m here to support you and your beloved pet. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and the people who care for them. When my wife mentioned pet sitting, I was excited to get involved right away. Dogs seem to love me, and cats generally tolerate me—which I think says a lot about my character! I’m reliable, trustworthy, and available when you need me. I’ve been caring for pets since I was young, helping neighbors with feeding, walking, and cleanup. I promise to provide the care and attention your pet deserves and be a great fit for you both!

“My Yorkshire terrier Cali is my world, and has some separation anxiety. Veronica did a great job making her comfortable while I was away and Cali was happy when I came back. I got so many pictures and videos of my happy puppy :)) Never had anyone else watch my pets from then on. She does great with my kitty and hamster Juice too, her enclosure was nice and clean when I came back, so was the kitty’s litter box.”
