Cat Sitting in Little Chicago

“Rachel was really great with our cats! She communicates well and immediately let us know of any issues. Our cats were comfortable with her and looked forward to her daily visit. We will book her again for any future needs!”

About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs since I was a kid! I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs, and willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When taking it taking care of, playing with and walking your dogs I will dedicate my time to them. I would love tot take them to the dog park when you’re away! —I have experience caring for energetic and social dogs. I am currently home full-time so I am available for drop in visits or house sitting when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I will take care of your animals by going for walks and to dog parks, and anything you already do with them to make them most at comfortable in their home. I am currently available for daily check in’s Monday-Friday after 2pm. Additionally, I am available for check in’s and over-night care Friday-Sunday. I provide attentive and compassionate care for pets in the comfort of their home. I prioritize maintaining a pets routine and creating a calm environment.

About: College student athlete aspiring to be a veterinarian with multiple years of clinic, dog sitting/ care, and many more experiences. Ive taken care of puppies to senior dogs of all sizes and am trained in pet CPR and first aid with advanced experience in administering any medication as needed. I have also worked at a dog day-care where I am advanced in caring for the basics, walking your pet properly, and having fun! I am currently in my last term of college, planning to take a gap year before reapplying to veterinary school. With graduation in June, I will no longer be in Northfield after June which is when I will take any last request. I am only taking 1 class 9:50-11am on M/W/F and 1 class 8:15-10am on T/Th, with a lab on Tuesday afternoon. I am a collegiate athlete, so my afternoons mostly consist of practices, typically 4-6pm. I am currently in softball season, so I have games throughout the week in the afternoons and on weekends which take up a lot of my day. For more information on that schedule, you can always look up Carleton Softball. Other than that, I am free and always willing to go back and forth throughout my days for your pet. In your home, I always like owners to let me know beforehand what is expected of me. This includes walking times, feeding times, potty times, medications, and, for overnight stays in your home, I like to know basic home amenities, such as how often to bring in the mail and when to take out the trash.

“Connie did a great job taking care of our fur babies and our home when we were out of town. She went over and above her job duties and picked up our garbage and recycle cans after a storm any then Picked up all the recycling from the ditch. We were really happy she has been there this week!”

“Kaitlyn was great! Our dog is very skittish around strangers, and Kaitlyn was very patient and understanding. She sent us regular updates and pictures.”

“Lauren was wonderful! She accepted the challenge of the diabetic cat that needs insulin shots 2x a day. I have 3 cats that she took wonderful care of. I also received updates and pictures every time she visited. Even though I was on vacation getting updates made me happy. I will definitely be hiring Lauren again when I need a cat sitter.”

About: My name is Marill. I love all animals. I have been watching animals since 2006. I absolutely love dogs. Every pet I've ever watched I try to mimic their home behavior so there are no bad habbits learned. If they aren't allowed on the couch at home. I wont let them here. If they are working on commands I will use your verbiage and hopefully return them to you more trained then when they came! If you want them to have the best time ever and be on vaca too, I can absolutely do that as well with beach days and sleeping in, on my bed! I want your pet to feel happy and loved while you're away and I can always provide pictures and video's too if you'd like! I have had a lot of experience with dog behaviors, training and medications and am always willing to learn. I chose to do Rover because I no longer wanted to leave my older dog… then COVID happened and I lost all 4 of my hospitality jobs so I chose to watch dogs full time! Rover is just one more way to get my name out there, but this is all I do all day long and I love it! I own a boarding business that I run out of my home so I’m here all day every day doing what I love. So Rover is just a great way to get in touch with people that need their pet to be in a safe and happy environment while they are away. I have 6 dogs of my own. Ranging from 6 years to 1. All different play styles or all of them love to sleep too! I have everything your dog needs to feel safe, get properly socialized, learn in a group setting and really enjoy coming here every time. I love all the dogs I watch just as if they were my own.

About: I have 3 years of pet sitting experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, and lizards. I grew up around animals and currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and farm animals, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, sizes, and routines. I’ve cared for up to 3 dogs at once and have experience with pets ranging from puppies and kittens to senior animals (dogs 1–14 years old, cats 1–17 years old). I’m also comfortable administering medications since my own pets require them. Experience with breeds ranges from English Mastiffs to small terriers. I currently work part time, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am free most days of the week, and have a very flexible schedule. I make sure to treat not only your pets, but your property with respect and privacy. Your pets safety and happiness is one of my main goals with all of my visits.

About: I have years and years of experience watching pets — for starters, I grew up with 3 big indoor dogs, a cat, and a parrot! At my house currently, my husband and I have two big dogs and a rotating cast of family dogs we're usually watching. In the last 20 years, I've also had three house rabbits. I've always loved animals, and I have years of experience as a pet- and house-sitter. I have extensive experience watching senior animals, reptiles, crabs, cats, birds, and multiple-pet households. I once dog-sat for a pack of 8 dachshunds at once! I love to walk and head to the dog park. I'm dependable, friendly, and easygoing, and I'd love to hang out with your pet! I work a full-time remote job with a very flexible schedule, so just let me know when works for you! I'm available for overnights and multiple-night stays, as well. I am careful with new pets I don't know, and follow instructions to the T. I will care for your animal(s) as if they were my own.

“Our pups love you!!”

I’m here to help because I know in this economy, work is extremely important but so is having an amazing animal to relax with! I love love animals. Only care about the animals and ofc the amazing owners! Perfect car for it and just the perfect person for it!

“Levi got along well with my Boxer, Pearl. She is very shy, but warmed up to him quite quickly. He was patient with her which I greatly appreciated!”

“Katherine is so great! She is prompt and attentive to my pups and always communicates so well. She has become an integral part of our weekly routine.”

Dawn A.

“My cats have special needs, with Ariel's background, I was very comfortable leaving them in her care. She graciously came over for not one, but two meet and greets to go over all of the medications and special diets. This really helped put me at ease. Ariel sent pictures and detailed updates. She even gave them extra attention and hand washed their dishes. I'm in the process of booking her again. Thanks so much, Ariel!”

About: I have 5 amazing dogs of my own, 1 pitbull, 2 American Eskimo mini and 2 Pomeranians. I had 2 liter of puppies from my dogs (1st liter was 10 pups, 2nd liter was 5 pups) and was able to raise them well for their furever home. I run a lot, so if your dog needs to exercise, you can count me in. Or simply needs a rest day, or any kind of special needs, I’m your girl. I work full time and have my own babies to care for, but I’m a super dog mom so I’m pretty flexible and prepared for anything. With my own experiences of owning 5 dogs, and raising 15 puppies, I feel like that should speak for itself. I do have a fenced in yard, I love dogs and I want them to be happy while they're with me or their own homes.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life: Dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, and even a horse! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I raised and trained my two Boston Terriers from 8-weeks-old, and also cared for my late rescue, Leo, who lived to be an incredible 19 years old! I’ve been watching pets for family, friends, and neighbors for about five years now. I’ve looked after the stubborn corgi all the way to the giant mastiff. Whether you have one or five pets, all will be loved, spoiled, and safe. I am currently available for any service all day every day! If you need a boarding service, it must be done at your own home for the safety of both of our pets (my puppies are pretty territorial and the bird does not understand the concept of boundaries). I am prepared to provide your pet with whatever they need. Whether it be walks, medication, or cuddles, they will have my indefinite attention! Your pet’s care routine will be strictly followed to ensure that they feel comfortable, and you are more than welcome to request photos and updates!

About: My family always had pets growing up, I've taken care of dogs, cats, fish, ginuea pigs, and even a few bearded dragons. I've also pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors! I've raised a couple kittens into adulthood too! I currently work throught the week during the day, but my availability opens up at about 5pm. My weekends are usually pretty open. I'm always happy to be flexible whenever possible. The cats I've brought up from kittens ended up affectionate and playful. My current cat is a rescue, due to having a rough early life she ended up extremely shy and anxious, she's taught me a lot about interacting with cats, and more generally animals, that are cautious of people.
