“Brandi was great with our dog and two cats! She even got our shy cat to come out for pets. She sent lots of pictures and treated our animals like her own! It was so nice to leave and know our animals were in good hands.”
“Jaymee took excellent care of our babies. She gave us regular updated and sent pictures every day. It was nice being away knowing our babies were in good hands.”
“Abbey was amazing and our dogs loved her! She graciously agreed to house sit for us last minute after our original sitter backed out only 2 days before our trip. We received daily pictures and updates and our pups got tons of attention, outside time and walks. They had a vacation while we had a vacation :) Abbey went above and beyond picking up after the dogs outside, washing the guest room sheets and towels and making sure the house was in order before we got back. It was so great to come home to a clean house after a two long days of travel. We will definitely be reaching out to Abbey for our future sitter needs!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. For the past 8 years, I’ve been the proud pet parent of two wonderful dogs who are a big part of my daily routine—I play with them, make sure they get plenty of exercise, feed them nutritious meals, and, most importantly, give them lots of love and attention. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve also volunteered with a local rescue organization, helping homeless puppies find loving homes. I’ve fostered dogs and kittens in need, giving them a safe and nurturing environment while they wait for their forever families. This hands-on experience has taught me how to handle a wide range of temperaments and needs with patience and compassion. I’m available on weekends and most holidays, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pup, including visits to your home if needed. During the week, I work a regular 8–5 job, but I make time in my schedule to provide consistent care. I can stop by for potty breaks and walks in the morning before work, around lunchtime (around noon) if needed, and again in the evening after 5 PM. Your dog’s comfort and routine are important to me, and I’m happy to work with you to make sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they need throughout the day. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for any pet—whether it’s in my home or yours. In my own home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment with secure spaces where dogs can play, relax, and feel comfortable. I’m always mindful of keeping anything unsafe (like cords, small objects, or toxic foods) out of reach, and I never leave pets unattended in risky situations. When caring for a client’s dog, I follow their routine closely and keep communication open with regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pup is doing. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, needs, and boundaries to make sure they feel safe and loved. Whether we’re on a walk, having playtime, or just cuddling, your dog’s well-being is always my focus.
“Connie did a fabulous job with our three dogs and one cat. Two of our dogs are on meds and she handled that with no problems. We have no hesitation in having Connie housesit for us again.”
About: I grew up with animals in the house my entire life. Very few things bring me more joy than interacting with animals. I currently have an 8 year old miniature schnauzer that is my lil old lady bestie and I love her dearly. She came from an abusive home so I have some experience with trauma and anxiety in dogs. Caring for my lil lady has taught me patience and responsibility which I would carry with me in my work with your pets. I recently adopted three rescue cats and i’ve been having the time of my life learning new things about cats and how to care for them. They are so much fun. I have lots of experience in adoring and loving dogs and cats and I just know i’ll adore and love yours as if they were my own :) I work from home and have a very flexible schedule throughout the day. I walk my dog multiple times a day currently and spend a lot of my time enriching my pets and spending time with them. I would love to add caring for your pets to my schedule as well! If caring for a pet in the owners home, i’d definitely abide by any rules, boundaries, or expectations set by the owner. I’d cater to the dogs and/or cats current routine and make sure they remain comfortable in their home while their owners are away.
“We needed someone to care for our dog, Foxen, for a few hours on a Saturday night. Brittany came and left on time, followed all of our instructions, and even fed our cats. Will definitely be using her again. Thanks, Brittany!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for any type of pet since 2016 as well as pets of varying ages. I have experience with babies under 1 and senior pets as well. I can also administer medication to pets if need be as I have had to do so before for previous clients. At the moment I only do pet sitting while searching for a job and I have classes but they are all online so I am free any time and day. I follow any rules or routines from the homeowner, as well as basic cleaning such as dishes, vacuuming, and general cleaning after the pets in my care. Cleaned and walking and any other things your pet needs I can take care of.
About: Always surrounded by dogs, after asking for owner permission, lovable and playful. Patience with puppies and careful with older dogs. All dogs regardless of size and age are loved I'm am complaining my apprenticeship, being on call every other day. Able to take cats of dogs and cats every other day. Can take care of pets after 5pm I live in an apartment, unfortunately unable to take care at my own place. My dog at my parents home has a big fence in yard, and cats have plenty of towers to climb on top of
About: I have many years of cat and dog sitting including my own pets and friends and family as well some neighbors as well I love it I have open availability and love to spend time with pets at all times and would like to experience new adventures with some new pets I have a fenced yard and a spare room to keep them separated if necessary from my own pets we have small children that are good with animals
“Jessica was great!! She took good care of our pups while we were out of town for the weekend. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.”
About: I have had a dog in my home, it's like having a nother child,you will love it and feed it and keep it warm and dry I work 5 to 2 mon thru Fri going to retire soon and will have lots of free time and something to do to keep busy I am very trustworthy, and love all animals. I love walking and or playing fetch, teaching them tricks, or giving baths if needed, don't need stinky dogs
About: Animal welfare is a passion of mine. I've had one animal or another since I was a child and am pursuing a career as a professional dog trainer. Dogs are definitely what I know the most about. I have experience with senior, special needs, and even nursing mothers with newborn pups. I've also fostered and worked for a shelter before. If there is something you are struggling to train your dog that you would like me to try my hand at while they are in my care, I would be more than willing to get more practice in for an extra charge! I look forward to working with you all! I work from home so have a flexible schedule. The only conflict usually is kid school pick up and drop off. After 9:30 am or after 3:30 pm usually works. My dog is dog-friendly and while maybe a little overwhelming wants to play with cats not eat them. I can muzzle and crate train as needed.

“Lety has taken care of my dog (4 year old male lab) and cat (10 year old female) multiple times over the last two years. She always follows their care plans perfectly and is amazing at communicating, sending frequent updates when I've been out of town. I can tell that she truly loves my pets like her own, because they are always so happy to see her when she comes over. Even my grumpy old lady, who isn't the fondest of most people, lets her give some pets. I sincerely can't recommend Lety enough, she's an outstanding pet caregiver.”

She is kind and loving . She has dog sat for us for years and have never had any issues, she goes above and beyond. Debbie has worked in customer service for over 40 years and everyone loves her.

Celosia M.
“Celosia is a wonderful person. She's personally helped me get through rough times in my life so she is very reliable and loyal. She used to help care for a special needs dog named Rome when she lived in St. Charles and was really good with him. Taking him for walks, giving him attention, training him, giving him treats. Rome learned what "kennel up" means from Celosia and would willingly go into a kennel when she would say "kennel up." She currently has a dog with her friend Jon named Dingo that is also special needs that they care for together. He has anxiety issues and she & Jon have taken great care of him. They bring him to dog parks, they brought him a thunder jacket, they've cuddled with him during times he's been super scared. If you are looking for a reaponsible and loving dog caregiver with experience caring for all types of dogs including special needs Celosia is your gal.”

Loves Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
We left our pups in Kaitlin’s care at our house for an entire week and we couldn’t have been happier!! Kaitlin loved our pups and they were super comfortable with her as well! I was actually jealous because she got way more snuggles than I typically do! We will definitely ask her to come back and I highly recommend her!
Michelle was awesome! She took excellent care of my puppy and 2 other dogs as well. She is punctual, knowledgeable and made a great suggestion for my puppy! Thanks Michelle!
Hiring Jaymee to look after our 2 cats for a long trip away was one of the best decisions we made! I work from home so they are used to being around us 24/7. They normally stay with my parents when we are away, but that wasn’t an option this time. Jaymee was so attentive to my concerns about the cats being left alone for long periods of time. She was very assuring that she would spend ample time with them and care for them as we do. She followed a pretty particular schedule we have and sent many photos and updates. I really couldn’t be more grateful for the peace of mind she gave us. We will definitely rebook with Jaymee!
