House Sitting in McHenry

“1st time using Rover and Raye was great. Arrived right on time and sent pics of the dogs while staying. I got home the next day and couldn't tell she was here (no mess, garbage etc) Will definitely have Raye stay with my boys again.”

About: Hi! My name is Taylor. I absolutely love dogs and I have been around dogs my entire life. I live in a 3 bedroom house with my husband and 3 children. We have a German Shepherd named Ace and a Great Dane named Samson; they are very friendly and would love to make new friends! I am a stay at home mom so I can stay at my home or travel to your home and take care of your dog. I am willing to walk your dog or do anything to make your dog's stay special! About this sitter: Hi! My name is Taylor. I am willing to travel to your home so you don't have to worry about your dog while you're away! I can walk your dog, bathe him/her, feed and water him/her, give him/her their medication, or anything else your dog needs! I absolutely love dogs and I have been around them all my life. I am available at all times and I have a very flexible schedule. I hope to have lots of fun with your dog! Why I love dog sitting I have been around dogs my entire life. I have had both large and small dogs. About my yard Our family owns 13 acres. We have a lake on our property. Our home is not close to the road and we live in the country so there’s not a lot of traffic on the road. Our yard is not fenced in but your dog will not be left alone if it is outside. I will keep your dog on a leash at all times if that is what you prefer. We just moved to this property and built our home a few months ago and putting up a fence is one of our plans in the future. My experience administering medication I, myself, have had to give medication to my dogs many times so I am very comfortable with administering medication.

“All the fur kids were well taken care of !!”

“Rhonda is truly the best. Most importantly, shes amazing with animals. I have two dogs and two cats and they arent the easiest to win over. And they all liked her immediately! She was so sweet and worked with us timing wise, sent plenty of pictures and made us feel so much better about going away for the weekend. I'm so happy I found her!”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for pets with very different needs. I currently own a high energy, high maintenance three year old Labradoodle, a senior 16 year old Dachshund who requires gentle, attentive care, and two cats so I’m comfortable balancing play, structure, patience, and affection all at once. I also have experience pet-sitting for a police officer with six cats while he was on vacation, which taught me how to manage multiple pets, routines, medications, and individual personalities responsibly. I take pride in being dependable, observant, and treating every pet as if they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am working part time so it genuinely fits into my daily life just perfect! I help run a restaurant so my schedule can be altered as needed for days on Rover I may have scheduled. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and maintaining a calm, respectful environment. I follow all care instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and remain attentive to changes in behavior or health. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own—keeping things clean, organized, and secure while maintaining the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I do communicate consistently with updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets and home are in good hands. My goal is always to create a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel relaxed and owners feel complete peace of mind.

“Nikki was great with our three dogs. She went above and beyond with everything we asked, and was able to execute everything they needed to be happy and healthy while she was here. We would 100% ask Nikki to watch our dogs again.”

“Thank you Sophia! We so enjoyed the pics and updates while we were away. I know Oliver was in good hands. We will absolutely call you again!”

About: Hello, my name is Heather and I have worked with a large variety of animals my entire life. I worked for our vet when I got into high school and regularly pet sat throughout the years. Over the years ive pet sat for friends and friends of friends. I have great references and I am happy to share them. I can take up to 2 dogs in my home. I travel and do pet sit at a few local places regularly. All I ask for is directions if needed for specific animals(meds behavior etc) and emergency phone # for vet please! All necessary instructions etc will be discussed prior of coarse. I currently am enrolled in school online so I am as flexible as needed. Whatever schedule your pets are used to I can work with. I will care for your pet as you wish and keep as close to their schedule as possible! Traveling is stressful enough and I will do what I can to help lessen the stress of your animals care while away.

About: I have over three years of experience working in a veterinary clinic and dog shelter. I have three dogs of my own named Toast, CJ and Cooper. In addition to my boys I have one girl cat named Argent (Argie). I have had experience with medically complex dogs that have seizures, autoimmune disorders, complex eye issues and more. Owning exotic animals and horses has also been a passion of mine for over six years. If you can keep it as a pet, I have experience with it! I am available for select holidays, weekends, and overnight stays (subject to change). I have a part time job during the week which leaves my availability to only on weekends. Animals thrive on routine so I like to keep your pet(s) routine as close to normal as possible. I will send routine pictures and check ins while I am with your pet.

About: I have had dogs of my own for my entire life, and dog-sat for many friends, family & neighbors over the years. I also have tons of experience with horses and goats! I am traveling right now as I search for another full time job. In the interim, I am looking for animals to care for, walk, groom- whatever is needed- to make some money & stay afloat! I love to snuggle & play with all of the fur babies! I give great scratches and am a worthy tug-of-war opponent. I will ensure that your house is always locked, safe & secure, and that your companions are happy & healthy!
