About: I have experience taking care of my own personal cat and some experience with dogs as I had a dog from age 10-20. I love both dogs and cats.

About: Hi! Thanks for visiting our page! We’re Michelle and Christy, a wife duo, who both run this account and are here to take care of your pets so you can a stress free vacation/business trip/break! We have always talked about owning a farm and adopting every dog available but since we know that’s not possible right now, we figured we’d offer our services to take care of other pets. We know how hard it can be to find a pet sitter you can rely on and trust but we would like to be that for you. We treat our pups like family (because they are!) and your dogs will be no different. We don’t want you worrying when you’re on vacation or a business trip and will provide updates and photos as much as you’d like. We’ve taken care of dogs our entire life. We’ve had family pets and our own pets that we’ve walked, administered meds, fed, and cuddled. We currently work from home so we would always be home with the pets to hang out and take care of them. They could go out whenever they needed. At my home: have a fenced in yard and we have two pups that love to have fun running around and playing with other dogs. At your home: I work from home so I can be around all day to hang out and take care of your animals.

About: I’ve taken care of and loved dogs for over 50 years. Friends and family trust me with their fur babies when they need a hand. I currently work part time so I have a flexible schedule so I am able to assist on short notice whether that be for dog sitting or dog walking. I can walk your dog, hang out with them, give them treats and love. I’m also able to stay over if needed to make sure they are taken care of overnight. Reach out to me if you have any specifics or questions or questions, I’d be happy to help with any accommodations that would make you and your pet feel comfortable..

About: For the past 20 years, I have cared for rescue dogs of all ages—traumatized or living with serious health conditions such as blindness, cancer, kidney disease, heart murmur, and congestive heart failure. I’ve loved, nurtured, and supported my best friends through their joyful, healthy days all the way to their final moments across the rainbow bridge. I understand how hard it is to leave your pet home alone—especially when they’re not feeling well. While working full-time, I’ve experienced that same worry and responsibility firsthand. I am certified in Pet First Aid and am a Certified Dog Walker, experienced in administering medication and caring for dogs with both medical and emotional needs. Whether your dog is full of energy or requires special care, I would be honored to help care for your best friend.

I create a calm, secure, and nurturing environment tailored to each dog's individual needs—whether they’re full of energy or require special care. In my home, I provide: A clean, pet-friendly space with constant supervision A structured routine to promote comfort and reduce anxiety Safe, enclosed outdoor areas for play and potty breaks Separate rest areas for downtime, especially for older or more sensitive pups In your home, I: Respect your pet’s established routine and familiar surroundings Follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions to the letter Keep communication open with regular updates, photos, and check-ins Ensure a stress-free experience with minimal disruption to your pet’s normal day Your pet is treated like family—because that’s exactly what they are. 🐾

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.

“Alyssa’s bf, Drew, was an excellent dog walker for my dog! I requested an hour walk but he was m unable to due to time constrains so he offered to run with my dog during the 30 mins they spent together. Drew was on time, communicative, and took great care of my pup. It was unfortunate that he had to leave the city for work for a couple of months but I’d book them again!!”

About: I’ve had dogs, bunnies, and other animals my whole life! I just graduated college, and am looking for a good way to spend my extra time right now:) I currently have a very open schedule, so there’s not much that wouldn’t fit into my routine right now.

“Bridgitt was excellent. She made a trip over to our home to meet us and Fozzie. She is delightful and we all felt so comfortable with her. Fozzie took to her right away. She took notes and was all prepared to come back later and walk Fozzie! She kept us informed, letting us know when she arrived, where they walked, how often he peed, and sent us pics! We were so impressed. We highly recommend Bridgitt and we will have her again.”


About: I have had animals apart of my life since I was born! Although we do not currently own any pets since we love to travel we love taking part of pet sitting and dog walking! We started asking our neighbors if we could spend some time with their pups after seeing our son was scared of dogs as a simple way to help introduce him into the world of joy that comes with owning a dog. And throughout the process we got to meet so many different dogs and fell in love with learning all the different personalities and quirks each dog had. Since my fiancé and I both work from home we thought why not look into doing this more regularly! Which lead us to joining Rover! So here we are ready to help our neighbors with any of their pet needs! Looking forward to spoiling your fur babies! From my pack to yours, I can’t wait to hear from you! It's important to note that every pet is unique, and their individual needs may vary. Owners should tailor their routines to accommodate their pet's specific requirements, age, breed, and health conditions. Flexibility and adaptability are key to ensuring the well-being and happiness of your pet within your daily or weekly schedule. Initial consultation: Meet with the client to discuss their pet's routine, dietary needs, medical history, and any specific instructions. Take note of emergency contact information and inform the client about your availability. Maintain the pet's routine: Stick to the pet's established schedule for feeding, walking, playtime, and medication administration, if required. Consistency helps reduce stress for the pet. Safety and security: Ensure that the home is secure and that the pet cannot escape. Keep an eye out for potential hazards, such as open windows, toxic substances, or small objects that the pet could ingest. Exercise and play: Provide the pet with sufficient exercise and mental stimulation according to their needs. Take dogs for walks, engage them in play, or follow any specific exercise routines requested by the client. Food and water: Follow the client's instructions regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, and dietary restrictions. Ensure that fresh water is always available. Monitoring and interaction: Spend quality time with the pet, offering companionship, affection, and socialization. Observe their behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, reporting any concerns to the client.
