Pet Sitting in Marengo

“Jessica is great with the drop-in visit's while I was out of town! Arrived on-time and sent a card with Blizzard's picture to let me know how he was doing. Would definitely use her again!!”

“Taylor was absolutely fantastic! I am very nervous leaving my big German shepherd with anyone (I’m a bit of a helicopter parent) but Taylor got on with him very well! She dropped in on him during a very long day at work for me, gave him a bit of attention and a potty break, and all went smoothly! She communicated quickly when she was with him and even brought in my heavy chewy box of dog food that was delivered! I can’t say how happy I am to have someone that seems to like my big boy and will be able to take care of him when I need. Taylor is awesome!!”

“Awesome sitter! Very friendly, helpful, and kept us always in the know as to what was going on at home with our pets. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible sitter to help put their mind at ease over the care of their fur babies while they’re away. Will definitely contact again if needed. Thanks so much, Lisa!!”

“Chelsea did a wonderful job looking after our senior dogs. Thank you!”

Paul R.

“Stacey has been wonderful with our shy, senior dog! It’s obvious that she loves animals. Stacey’s nice (to people too! ?), reliable and communicative. I’d completely recommend her to anyone who is looking for help with their pet!!”

“Olivia was absolutely wonderful while we were away! She dropped in twice to let our dogs out, feed them, and make sure they were well cared for. She treated our home with so much respect and care, truly like it was her own. One of our favorite parts was all the beautiful pictures she took of the dogs while we were gone, it gave us so much peace of mind and made us smile seeing how happy and comfortable they were. You can really tell she genuinely cares about animals.”

About: I have taken care of my family dogs since i could walk.I had my own pet bunny that i took care of for 8 years before her passing. Have a lot of experience helping neighbors and family member with dog sitting and walking. I am currently just training for baseball and that only takes up a few hours during each day. I am available every day and can be extremely flexible I care for my pets and others pets with genuine love and care. Pets are a part of a family just as much as a child, brother, or sister, and they should be treat with care and love.

About: I have had family dogs all my life. Currently I have two senior cats and two Belgian Malinois who are part of my family. We’re a very active family and enjoy being outdoors. I’m a stay at home mom which allows me to have a flexible schedule, unless I have appointments for the kiddos. I’m part time military so I won’t be available those weekends but I’ll let you know in advance 🫶 I’m a stay at home mom and a weekend warrior, iykyk. Availability is open unless I’m scheduled for drill and I’ll give an advanced notice or if I have appointments scheduled. I’ll follow your instructions to the T. My dogs have taught me a lot about dog behaviors and what to look out for. Either way I tend to avoid anything that may upset any dog. Cats are much more independent and they usually just need feeding and cleaning.

“Such a good sitter. She even took my dog to run around multiple times which is something I can’t do. Cielo was very knowledgeable about Piccolos breed and did so good with him. I definitely will be booking again!”

About: I have had pets consistently since i was 5 years old. I’ve had four cats and one dog, and currently have one cat and one dog. I have pet sit for family friends and people from my church since i was 13. Animals have always been a big part of my life and i love meeting new furry friends. I’m experienced with cleaning up after them, standard bathing and brushing, and taking them out on walks. I am currently working a full time job, but i have lots of time every friday and sunday to take care of pets. I am able to drop in for visits or walks after 5:30 every other monday and every other wednesday. Along with that, saturdays after 2:30 are also very open. At home, we keep our dog in her crate at night and when out of the house, so i’m comfortable with crate schedules, if that fits your pet’s needs. We have a cable outside for our dog, and many leashes for our walks.

“Lily was great very punctual and great communication if I need somebody to help take care of my dog she will be the first person I reach out to. Thank you lily”

About: I'm an animal lover with a natural way with animals. Though I've only cared for roommates' pets in the past, I love to pay it forwards to everyone! In between jobs right now, I have open availability and am happy to be the last minute sitter you hope you never needed and are glad to have. Keeping them in a routine is important. I'm respectful of my clients' property and loving of their animals while also providing structure to them all

“Eloise was fantastic! She followed all of our instructions, and our dog and cat seemed to genuinely love having her take care of them. She was available for a drop in last minute, and sent over very cute photos and videos. Will definitely be hiring her again!”

About: I have worked with, raised, rescued, and rehabilitated many cats and dogs in my 24 years of life since I was 8 years old. I am very comfortable with any kind of pet and their quicks that make them, them! From behavioral, to puppies/kitties, sick or need medication, separation anxiety, potty training, general cleanliness, bathing/nail clipping, you name it I’ve done it! I am currently in school for my bachelors in Nursing and work FT overnights at an assisted living home. So I am really only looking for some boarding on my weekends off and evening work :) I care for them like I care for my own! I currently have a disabled tripod at home and I often go on 3-4 hr cycles with her and does great! Always very attentive, alert, refilling water when needed, plenty of walks and playtime, cuddle time, and a fixed feeding schedule. And always making for cleanliness to tidy up. And if needed, extra bath and grooming time! I will definitely make sure your money is worth if you hire me! :)

About: Hi there! I am so excited to finally be making my pet-sitting official with Rover. I am still new-ish to the area after having moved back in with my parents a little less than a year ago (originally from New Jersey, then moved to California for college and work). I have had the pleasure of taking care of my family dog (Winnie the Cavapoo) since we got her 9 years ago. Hanging out with her is one of my favorite things to do, and she truly makes each day better with every walk we go on and every cuddle we share. I've also gotten to dog-sit for some of my best friends and locals while I was in college, and it really helped me whenever I was missing my Winnie girl! My only hope is to provide you with peace of mind that your pup is in good hands with me! My schedule is pretty wide open and flexible! If there is a time/day on my schedule that looks unavailable, message me and I'll see if I can move things around to make it work (as I share a car with a family member). If you need me to come over and pet-sit at your home, I will respect all the rules you provide me with so you are comfortable with having me in your home while I watch your fur baby. Please let me know in advance to your booking if your pet is allowed on furniture, or in certain areas of your home, and what/where are absolute no-go's, so I can remember to keep them away from those areas. If you use a crate with them, please let me know how you use it with them - if they must be crated the entirety of time while indoors aside from meal and potty times, or if for certain periods of time. If you have a backyard that is fenced and secure, I am comfortable with letting them of their leash (if you permit it) so they have free reign to run around, but if it is not an enclosed space, I am not comfortable letting them off their leash, even if they are trained perfectly - just want to be safe and take all the precautions I can to make sure they are safe while with me!

“Miranda was fantastic. She stopped to meet Zelda before the scheduled walks. She kept me updated and everything went perfectly. Zelda feels comfortable with her already and they get along great. Highly recommended!”

About: Compassionate and reliable pet care professional with a strong commitment to providing safe, engaging, and enjoyable walks for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Dedicated to building trust with pet owners by ensuring the well-being, exercise, and happiness of every dog in my care. Working from home great part of the week and I’m not working on weekends! If I commit to a day and time I’ll be there! I’ve been around fur babies all my life but I currently don’t live with any so I have plenty time to walk and care for your little one

About: I’ve loved growing up with dogs and cats my whole life and currently live with 2 of them and my cat (she's a queen, but loves her furry, fellow roommates :) ) I have experience with senior, high energy and large dogs. I’m happy to make drop in visits, house sit, play, give attention and take them on walks (even in Chicago winters!). I understand how much our furry friends mean to us and wanting them in the best hands while away. I take my responsibility very seriously and my passion for dogs and cats makes this a fun position for me as well. We’re all busy people but I work to be flexible and accommodating to you and your pet to ensure they’re given the attention they need. Can’t wait to meet your fuzzy, furry fur babies! I currently have a full time job in Crystal Lake but I’m happy to flex my time to make space in my schedule for any needed pet care. I'm an active, driven individual with a big heart who loves animals of all kinds :) I'm a vigilant, passionate caretaker who provides love and attention to detail wherever I am - at home, in other homes or out in public.

“Megan did an outstanding job of caring for Katie our cat. From the time we first contracted her, she kept us well informed. She came to meet us and Katie in advance of the booking and send us pictures and a narrative at each visit. She even brought in our newspapers. We would highly recommend Megan if you need someone to care for your pet.”

About: I’ve grown up taking care of both cats and dogs, including small and large breeds. I currently have a chocolate lab who I walk, feed, and play with every day. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and cats, and I understand the extra patience, attention, and care they may need. I love cats and am comfortable feeding them, changing litter, playing with them, and giving them lots of attention. I’m reliable, caring, and truly enjoy being around animals! I’m home from college until August 10th. I’m available all day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8 AM–6 PM for dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits for both cats and dogs! I’m also available on weekends and am flexible with timing. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and safe. I’m always mindful, respectful, and responsible when caring for pets in someone else’s home. I make sure to keep a clean and safe environment, follow instructions carefully, and handle everything with care. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home, and I’ll always do my best to make both you and your pets feel comfortable and secure.
