Dog Sitting Lincoln Park

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was born and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently do not have any dogs as my sweet boy crossed the rainbow bridge in July 2026. I have experience with dogs of different ages, personalities, energy levels, temperaments and needs; from playful puppies to loving seniors who need a little extra patience, comfort and attention. I don't believe in simply "watching" a dog. I want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and at home while their family is away. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give each dog. I am attentive to their routines, personalities, body language and little quirks. Your dog won't just be another booking to me. They will be a guest in my home and treated like one of my own. I work from home and so I am here to provide attention and not just put them in a crate. Dogs will have free roam, unless requested to be in a crate from their family. I also only book one family at a time. I believe dogs do best when they receive plenty of individual attention so I keep my environment comfortable and just want to make their routine and stay feel as normal and comfortable as possible. I will offer photos, videos and updates so you can relax and know your pup is happy and doing well! I have cared for dogs through all stages of life, including senior care. I am comfortable with medications, routines, and keeping a close eye on changes in behavior or well-being and giving older dogs the extra TLC they may need. One of the most meaningful parts of my experience was caring for my own dog, Bear. When he was diagnosed with kidney disease, I was initially told that because he was almost 14, he may only have about six months. I devoted myself to his care and learned everything I could about CKD. I ultimately helped reverse his disease from stage 3 to stage 1 and he lived to be 16 1/2 . Caring for him taught me just how important patience, attentiveness, consistency and advocating for your pet can be. After a lifetime of having dogs by my side, I am not quite ready for another dog of my own yet, but I miss having a dog to care for and the joy they bring. Rover feels like the perfect way for me provide the kind of loving, attentive care I would want for my own without making it a full time commitment just yet. I would love to meet your pup and give them a wonderful home away from home while you're away! I currently work from home and can take breaks throughout the day, so your pup will get the care they need! I’m able to provide plenty of potty breaks, playtime, attention, and companionship throughout the day, so they won’t be left alone for long periods of time and my office door is always open! I have a fenced yard where your pup can safely play and get outside. I provide a calm, loving environment and will follow your pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and any special needs. I can also easily crate your dog if needed and will always make their safety and comfort a priority. Your dog will be treated like family, and can free roam in my home, but I will also respect the routine and rules you have established at home.

About: I have taken care of just about every type of dog and most cats. I used to work at “Hallidays Pet Resort” in canton MI for years so I have lots of hands on experience. Super exited to meet you and your dog so go ahead and send me a request :) I work overnights so I am available any day from morning-evening, as long as your animal is okay on its own overnight I can do sitting for multiple days in a row I absolutely adore animals. Super experienced in animal safety and caretaking, I can also give medications as long as it is orally administered. I have a pit bull of my own :)

“Miryam is truly an angel with my babies. From our very first meet and greet, I instantly had a good feeling about her especially when my girl cat immediately gravitated toward her. She has an amazing ability to care for all three of my cats, balancing their different personalities. She's playful and engaging while also knowing when to give them their space. As we all know, cats can be particular, but Miryam has always been gentle, attentive, patient, and welcoming with my babies ever since our very first meeting. I will always have complete peace of mind knowing my babies are in her care, and I couldn't recommend her more highly ◡̈”

About: I've had the pleasure of growing up in a dog household ever since I was little. I have worked with a number of various breeds but have had the opportunity to raise a German Shepherd as well as my current Australian Shepherd and Blue heeler, who both have plenty of energy. I’ve been blessed with finding a work from home job as an RN and am free most days to help your pup. I took a little break from Rover but am back now that I have a more flexible schedule. Looking to meet your pups and create a consistent schedule ! I have a decent sized fenced backyard that will give your doggo plenty of space to run around with my Australian shepherd dog. I also have space for a crate if they are crate trained.

“Carli was so amazing and very professional! She took amazing care of my two boys Cleo and Clyde (cats). I will absolutely be booking her again!”

“Sherice is a very good sitter, I highly recommend!! She communicates very well with me about how my dogs are doing while she's there. Sherice let's me know if they used the bathroom, played, also if they are acting anxious,excited, or cuddley lol. Sherice is also very prompt, flexible with her & my schedule, & she does very well with my skiddish rescue pitbull. I will be having her drop in on my doggys again!!”

“Nicole took wonderful care of our 3 cats, and under the craziest possible circumstances (one senior cat with diabetes needing insulin twice a day, and a juvenile male and female that aren't fixed yet and had to be kept separated). It was half cat sitting and half cat jailer, and through it all Nicole was super friendly and communicative and we came home to 3 happy cats. 10/10, we'll definitely book her again!”

About: Ive been houses sitting and caring for cats and dogs since I was sixteen. Ive done up to a week in home stays. These visits often include walks, outside trips, playing, and all basic care with your animal. I never push an animals boundaries and take my time to understand them. Currently, I have my own two special needs cats that require daily medication and shots. I am well versed in that type of care. Hello! I work a set schedule of 9 to 5 but often have 4 days at a time off in a row. Im a college student working to pay off my debt as soon as possible, so I work hard in my off hours. When working with your animal, I will keep an eye on them at all times while they go out. Often going with them if it doesn't distract them. I habe no problem following set rules that will help your animal feel more comfortable. I can help to cage your animals when needed and stretch their legs if they need.

“Ivy has been absolutely amazing over the past month. She was able to hop right in two days after our little pup came home, and has been a godsend on my in-office days. Gilly loves her and enjoys playing and snuggles. I would definitely recommend her for her excellent communication, demeanor, and professionalism, and even as our pup moves to Puppy Preschool, we will still be working with Ivy whenever we need a sitter or a drop-in.”

About: I currently have 2 dogs that I’ve trained from puppies. I’ve pet sit for my brother for the last 5 years. A day hasn’t gone by in the last 10 years that I’m not out walking dogs. I’ve cared for senior dogs as well as puppies and love them all. I currently work 2-3 days a week with a rotating schedule but am available every morning and night as well as most weekends. My schedule is extremely flexible. I have a fenced in yard in a great neighborhood. Both my dogs are extremely friendly and always looking for another friend to play with.

About: I've had dogs all my life. We just just put our dog down after 12 years from being raised as a puppy. We recently just got a beagle Basset Puppy who loves to play and has gotten along great with all of the dogs we've watched so far! I am looking forward to a summer filled with backyard play and plenty of attention for our guest pups. Since we’ll be home the vast majority of the time, your dog will have constant companionship. I’m happy to send you pictures, daily updates, whatever you need! While we might head out for the occasional short day trip or camp drop-off, our schedule is primarily centered around being home, making us very flexible for drop-offs, pick-ups, and mid-day belly rubs! Your pup’s safety is our top priority! We have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under constant supervision. Our home is a family environment with three kids who are taught to be gentle and respectful with animals, so we do require that any guest dogs be kid-friendly. Inside, we have stairs, so please let us know if your pup has any mobility issues or needs assistance. We are also happy to crate your dog for meals or naps if that is what they are used to at home. Since we currently have no other pets, your dog will receive 100% of our attention and love during their stay

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was around nine, helping with feed, bathing and taking puppies out. As well as giving the dogs their medicine and giving them more time with their training commands. Making sure they still follow those. Pet care fits into my daily routine, because I am currently looking for a job and love working with animals so this would be a nice side or main job Since we aren’t allowed to have pets in our home, I am respectful of other others and their suggestions or rules /boundaries of their routines and homes

About: I am a big fan of cats and dogs. I have been privileged to be my family and friends go-to pet sitter for years so I decided to come to Rover. I am comfortable with dogs/cats of all ages, breeds and sizes. I will care for your babies like they are my own.😊 I am currently working part time-but have too much free time. I love animals and am able to do visits, walks, stop-ins etc from 12-6 almost everyday. I can comfortably harness and lead dogs. Feeding/treats are also no problem with any pet. I will gladly groom, clean up per your request as well.

“Megan was great with my boy and contacted me as soon as she had a concern about his health. Thankfully all ended up well! She was also well above accommodating and assisted me with my non understanding of rover lol. Thank you Megan!”

About: I do take care of pets (small to medium sized pets) since I was 10 years old. I can teach sign language to pets. I love to playing with pets. I’m currently working full time work from home. I can do feed them, walking them, bring them to dog park. I use my smart watches remind me. I have a fenced yard. I can do crate if dogs feel not comfortable with others. Put human foods away from pets. Always check water for pets.

About: Open home with no children or other animals. All sizes of cats and dogs welcome! I hope your baby likes fun and affection because this is the place for it! I've had pets most of my life, and enjoy having happy wagging tails and purrs of contentment nearby. Pet families welcome too! Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, providing a meaningful way to blend responsibility with care. Each visit is thoughtfully scheduled to ensure consistency, creating a sense of comfort and safety for the pets. I prioritize secure environments, always double-checking doors, gates, and feeding instructions to protect their wellbeing. My growing knowledge of animal behavior helps me recognize what each pet needs, whether it’s a calming walk, playtime, or quiet companionship. This attentiveness brings peace of mind to pet owners and happiness to the animals, making pet sitting not just a task, but a fulfilling and trusted part of my week. When caring for a pet in someone else’s home, I prioritize trust and respect in every action I take. I understand that I’m being welcomed into a personal space, and I treat it with the same care and consideration I would expect in return. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to house rules, to ensure the pet remains comfortable and routines are maintained. I respect the home by keeping it clean and secure, and I always communicate openly with the owners, providing updates for peace of mind. Above all, I build trust by being reliable, thoughtful, and fully focused on the wellbeing of both the pet and the home.

About: I have had pets my entire life and have experience caring for young, elderly, and chronically ill dogs. I am comfortable around dogs of all sizes, and additionally have experience caring for cats and various small animals (ex. birds, snakes, rodents) I'm currently employed part time and have plenty of time for caring for your fur baby! My weekends are usually open and I am available most afternoons and some evenings and mornings. You can count on me to provide top-notch care for your pets!

About: I’ve had/ been around animals my whole life, and i absolutely adore them. I pet sit for family & friends, giving love & care to meet our furry friends needs! I also have experience giving dogs insulin shots if this is something that is needed. I work as a nursing assistant 2 days a week as well as go to nursing school full time! My schedule would be good mainly for drop in visits and walking, and medication administration as needed :) i am open to pet sitting as well every now and then. I will mainly be offering drop in visits and dog walking. During this time I will provide your fur baby with play time, walks and lots of snuggles!

About: Truly love animals. I can provide excellent references that will confirm that your will be loved and your home will be safe while ai am there. I I will walk your dogs in my care and play with them outside. Animals sleep with me unless the owner would rather they were caged. If medicine is required I would be diligent to administer to your pet. During the day animals sit in my lap or lay on the couch beside me. Your pet will be very loved from the beginning! I'm retired and home the majority of the time. For trips to the bank or drive thru, dogs go with me and ride shotgun safely. We will follow your dogs daily routine and adhere to any rules and regulations about your pet and your home. Some dogs would rather not go on walks and I'm good with that.
