“Mandy has been great! Even our skittish cat and anxious dog took to her quite quickly. She is very accommodating and understanding with schedule changes. She’s highly communicative and very attentive to any details. Her experience with challenging animals is reassuring as well. We will for sure hire Mandy again!”
“Excellent dog watcher!! It was my second time hiring Daniel and was such a comfort to travel while letting my senior dog stay at home. Daniel did great, kept me up to date with pictures and information about my dogs eating and drinking habits. Would definitely recommend if your like me and want your dog to stay in his comfort zone, hiring Daniel to look after your pet.”
“Georgia was available on somewhat short notice to look in on our two older cats while we went away for the weekend. She was always on time and gave them attention when they needed it. Was able to give insulin shots with no issues. She was great with communication and showed respect to our home and property. Will definitely keep her in mind for our future cat care needs!”
“I cannot express my gratitude for Gina enough. My dogs LOVE her, and she takes such good care of them. She even got our parrot to like her, and he is a HUGE momma’s boy! Thank you for being such a beautiful soul!”
About: I have had a dog all my life. Growing up we had Boxers. In my adult married life we have had Labrador Retrievers . These dogs have not been dogs but fur kids. I have taken them to obedience classes so I have experience in commands and working with them. I believe that fur kids need plenty of exercise on and off leashes. Dog parks are a good way to socialize them and get in exercise. In the home mind games are fun too. Sniffing out a treat to playing with toys on the floor with them. I love taking pictures and document what we do. You will know what your fur child is doing. I am currently working for home during the week day so being with them during the day works. I am able to take breaks and go on short walks. Play with them in our fenced in yard. I plan on retirement in May so I will be available 24/7, 365 days a year. I am willing to come into your home if you would feel more comfortable. If they come to my home we have a fenced in yard and will be able to play with our 2 fur boys. One is an 8 year old chocolate Labrador and the other is a 5 year old German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees. Both have had other dogs come into the home and stayed with us. They love having visitors. In your home I will attend to their needs as you have outlined.
About: While I have the most experience taking care of cats, I do have experience with dogs, bearded dragons, and fish as well! I am also always open to learning about new animals and their care routines. I am consistent, detail oriented and passionate about caring for critters and that will always be the same no matter the animal! I am currently employed 7-3:30 5 days per week. I am able to attend to pets before and after work every day as well as on my days off. If something does not quite fit with my schedule I do have a partner who is a little more flexible and may be able to fill in. I live in a spacious townhouse, so if your pet is joining our crew we can provide them with their own space or allow them to roam with the others! If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat it as if its my own. I am a very cleanly person and I am detail oriented so I will attend to your surroundings as well as your pet!
“Susan has been providing daily drop-in visits since 1/2019. She keeps my 75lb pit/lab active with outdoor play. Susan is loving, loyal & patient. The pics provided with the Rover Card are awesome! I'm thankful to have found Susan.”
About: I've always been the family member my family could call on to take care of their dogs when they were out. I've walked/been walked by an energetic husky, I've looked after a blind/deaf elderly shih tzu, I've spent hours playing with a cuddly golden retriever, and now I want to help take care of your pets. My schedule is fairly free for weekday/weekend care, earlier in the morning would work better for me but if you need me to come over at the evening/night time, I'd be more than happy to do so. My drop-ins involve a quick to-do list to take care of the basics (any food bowl, water, or potty attention), followed by playtime until I can ensure your pet is happy and satisfied. If you'd like me to have some photos of your pet whether I'm doing in home care or taking them for a walk, let me know and if there's an opening, I'll gladly snap a few photos for you on my phone!
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.
About: I've taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! All of my life I've had animals! I love all different types of them! Nothing quite makes me happier than being covered in pet hair and kisses! I currently work a full time job but am available nights and weekends! I'm looking to do something that inspires me in my free time! A house isn't quite home without pets in it! I have three cats that I love with all of my heart! What ever the needs of your pet I can handle!
About: I have 3 small rescued dogs and they love other dogs and enjoy playmates. We have a doggie door that they can access the yard from 6 AM to 9 PM. The yard is secure and the fence is 4 feet high. Your dog will get played with, loved and spoiled in my care. I do not anticipate any problem with my daily or weekly routine. I would not accept an assignment if I knew I was too busy that week. Your pet comes first with me. Your fur baby will be in great hands. We love dogs, and our dogs are very friendly and enjoy other dogs. I never get tired of giving attention to any animal.
About: I have been fortunate enough to gain years of experience working with animals in both a shelter and medical setting. I am well trained in various routes of medicine administration as a result and love every dog I meet. I just want to be able to make a difference for the pets and their families within my community. I do currently work a full time schedule as a veterinary technician, and study part time, so I generally have a rather busy schedule. I am well-disciplined, however, and manage my time around all of my commitments appropriately, and your furry friends hold a high priority for me. I can prepare for overnight duties and have flexible enough time in the mornings and evenings, and could feasibly do drop-in care over the noon hour. My weekends are generally clear! I sincerely promise to be completely respectful of your living space if I am hired to provide care for your furry little loved ones, guaranteed.
“Thank you so much Kelly! My husband and I had a worry free weekend away knowing our dogs were well taken care of with Kelly. She went above and beyond for our girls and seeing pictures and getting updates was amazing!”
“Morgan did an awesome job with my two pups for the weekend! My dogs had never had a sitter and she was very kind and patient with them while they adjusted to her visits. She truly cared for the well being of my pets and I would recommend her without hesitation!”
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!
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have dogs ranging from 8 lbs- 78 lbs. I love dogs and always give every dog the attention and love they deserve. I have dealt with blind dogs and skittish dogs. I can easily adapt to the enviroment the dog needs/wants but do not let bad behaviors get by. I also do not believe in "smacking" or punishing a dog in a rough way for any bad behavior. I believe dogs are able to tell when something is not okay by voice, tone, and body language. I want every dog to get the love and attention they deserve. I am willing to spoil a dog to any means and make them forget that you are even gone. I’m a teacher so my summers are very free! I want to be able to keep animals very busy during the summer since it is so nice out! I have experience with “escape artist” dogs so I know how to be safe with animals who may want to escape. I keep an eye on pets all the time especially the ones who may be busy bodies.

September N.
“September cared for our 2-year old golden retriever in our house for 26 days. She quickly connected with our very energetic dog and formed a great relationship- it was evident that he loved her as much as she loved him at the end of their time together. September is enthusiastic and adventurous, and likes to explore new places and meet new people which our dog loves too - they went for walks around the neighborhood and on local trails, and even ventured into a few dog friendly stores. It was evident that September’s experience owning and training her own dogs helped her work with our dog. She knew when he needed to play games - mind games, sniffing games and just some time playing on the floor, as well as when it was time to relax and snuggle up in the big chair together. And, she took lots of great pictures and shared them with us, which made us feel good while we were away.”
