“I was so nervous to use a perfect stranger to watch my fur babies but Rachael and Logan came for a meet and greet. They instantly made us feel so comfortable. The 1st drop by visit went great and I loved all the pictures of their time together. It was awesome and it was super clear that our babies were having a great time. They are awesome”
“Michelle is wonderful! Initially I hired her to stay in my house a few days with my 16.5 yr old dog, but unfortunately he passed away before the trip. Michelle helped change our agreement, and she looked in on our cat and house instead. Great communication and I knew my cat and house was in great hands!”
About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs through various experiences. I am responsible and dependable. I have owned dogs my entire life and currently have a 3 year old energetic boxer mix. I trained my own pup from 7 weeks old and attended a 12 week training course with her. Positive tones and patience are key. I love being active and getting outside and can guarantee your dog a happy and active experience! I am a full time teacher! I have summers and other school breaks off. I will be available for dog walking in the afternoons starting May 29th. During the month of June I work summer school but am available for dog walking any time after 1:00 pm. I am looking to help during vacation times and long weekends. For house sitting, I am willing to stay from 7am to 11pm but will not be available for overnights for initial clients. I am available for meet and greets beforehand! I am reliable, dependable, and trustworthy. I will treat your home and animals as I would my own. I have reliable transportation and can be there for your pet several times a day. I love being outdoors and active and would love to walk or run your dog as you see fit. I will send updates including photos and videos to let you know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve always been very passionate in animals. I have taken care of animals since I was 12 years old. I started my own dog treat business when I was 13 year old. I am currently a student at Joliet Junior college. I am looking for a part time job. I will be available during the day and overnight. I have no pets. I currently live with my parents. My mom is allergic to animals so I will not be able to take them to my home.
“I met Julia when she came over for a meet and greet before taking care of my cats for two drop in visits. She is a wonderful, warm young woman with a caring, mature attitude. I knew she would take good care of my darlings and indeed she did.”
“Lauren did an awesome job looking after Toby. She went out of her way to make sure Toby was happy and safe during my trip and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“April did a wonderful job dropping in our cat. She was very professional, responsible and sent detailed updates as well. We appreciated her doing early morning and late night drop-ins, which helped ease our minds. Even though our cat is shy and sometimes even anti-social, April attempted to play with her and make her feel comfortable. We will definitely use April again and we highly recommend her services.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for 10 years, including dogs, cats, and small animals of all ages and temperaments. My experience ranges from daily walks and overnight care to administering medications and even helping with rescue animals. I’m calm, patient, and reliable—and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust, so I prioritize clear communication and consistency. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or structured care, I’ve got it covered! Let me know what makes your pet happiest, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because spending time with animals is one of the best parts of my day. I’m available weekday evenings and most weekends, with flexible timing to meet your pet’s needs. Whether it’s evening check-ins, dinner feedings, weekend walks, or overnight stays—I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space and the animal with the utmost respect. I follow your instructions closely—from feeding routines and medication schedules to favorite toys and hiding spots—so your pet’s daily rhythm stays consistent. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure before and after every visit, and I always check for any potential hazards like spilled food, open trash, or small items that could be chewed. I keep my visits calm and positive, and I communicate clearly with pet parents. My goal is to create a safe, low-stress environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for—even while you’re away.
“Alyssa was very professional. My shy cat who comes out for no one, came to her when she was there on the first day. She always responded to me very quickly and was always very courteous. Would definitely use her again and recommend her highly.”
“Thank you being amazing and helping me understand how Rover works. This process was truly seamless. You were great with Boost and he also got to introduce you to his new friends that live next door 😂.”
“Diana was very responsive and easy to work with using the Rover app. She sent photos, and a report every day. My cat even let Diana brush her , which is unusual, so I knew my cat was comfortable with Diana. I will definitely book Diana again for my next trip.”

About: I have owned my own cats for 15 years now. They are constantly cuddled and pampered. My husband and I adopted our two dogs 10 years ago. They go on car rides with us, and long walks. They love chew toys, and bones. When I lived at home I took care of all of our senior pets. I was raised in a household where pets are family. I would take care of your animals like they were one of my own. I am a teacher full time, but I am available full time during the summers. I am around in the evenings during the school year. I can walk your dogs, let them out in a fenced yard, play with them, and give lots of cuddles. I also love cats and can scoop litter boxes, play with them, and give them cuddles.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I started working at a veterinarian clinic when I was in high school and eventually became a veterinary technician. My time working has allowed me to gain multiple skills from caring for senior animals to administering many different forms of medication. Whatever care your pet needs, I’ll be able to handle it! I am currently a student, so I am mainly free on the weekends. Depending on your location, week nights can possibly work for me as well! When I am with your pet, they will have my undivided attention. Whether they are a youngster who needs a lot of play time, or an older pet who just needs some extra cuddles. I have worked with a wide variety of sizes and types of animals so I can handle just about anything!

I will always trust Alex with my pets & recommend her to all my friends!”
