“Julie went above and beyond for my dog, Halley. I was recently in town for work and needed someone to walk her. My hotel situation was not ideal for walking dogs, so Julie went out of her way to take care of Halley every single day I needed her. Halley became great friends with her two goldens and she had a wonderful time. I could completely trust Julie, which was a huge relief as it took away any stress I might have had worrying about Halley during the day. Don’t hesitate to contact Julie if you are in need of someone to take care of your pup!!!”


“Melissa has been a lifesaver. She comes over multiple times a week, and takes great care of my dog. Winston warmed up to her very quickly on their first meeting, and on the days when Melissa takes him out for walks, he's always happy and sleeping when I get home from work.”


About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was a baby and grew up visiting my grandpa’s farm in the country! My family also had cats, and I had four fish growing up! I love taking care of my family’s dog whether it be walking, exploring, or just cuddling and petting! I have had experience with all types of pets, from super energetic to ones that would sit on the couch all day long if they could! I have experience staying overnight for multiple days if needed with your pets, or dropping in a couple times a day as needed! I also love taking walks!

About: Starting in 2020, I spent a few years on the road doing a variety of gigs, primarily animal transportation. I got to see the entire country and meet a ton of awesome animals - mostly dogs & puppies, but rabbits, kitties, lizards, too. I have since planted my flag in Galesburg, IL, and am hoping to build up a clientele of regular check-ins here in this area as I build a home for myself off the road. I am happy to book new clients through Rover, but I do most of my gigs through direct booking after the initial sit. Since Rover keeps 20% of a sitter's fee, please consider tipping in full to make up the difference. Upon meeting new clients, I would like to let folks know that it is common courtesy to compensate a potential sitter if they are traveling from out of town for a meet & greet. It is not expected but greatly appreciated to offer to stock the fridge for overnights, especially for longer sits. These are things I have learned from my favorite clients, families that have taught me how to make a happy living caring for their beloved households. Dogsitting is what I do for a living. I don't mind driving out of town for overnight gigs with appropriate compensation. Just ask and let's see what we can set up. For overnights, I like to keep handwritten notes throughout the day and have little photoshoots here and there. I prefer to check in via text at the end of the day w some nice photos and a brief summary of the day's events. My clients enjoy reading the full report when they get home.

I have had a childhood dog while I was growing up, and have been a pet owner throughout my adulthood. I've been boarding dogs and doing home visits through Rover for 5 years now. I currently work from home the majority of the time so I will usually be home for the most part during boardings. I am able to fit home visits into my schedule mornings and evenings. I am home most of the time during boardings to watch your pets. I have a spacious yard for exercise and animals are allowed to make themselves at home on furniture, etc.

About: Hi all, my name is Christine. I am an all around animal lover. I have been taking care of dogs since I was a young girl. I have watched neighbor’s pets, family pets, friend’s pets. I had quite a rotation in my old neighborhood. However I moved here and am looking for some new furry friends. I have volunteered at animal shelters and worked for a pet rescue. I am very loyal, honest, and trustworthy. I love being outside so long walks are my specialty, but I’m also good for a great game of fetch. I often prefer animals over people, so any pet of yours will be in good hands. Taking care of animals is truly what I love doing. Non-smoker if that makes a difference.

About: Being in the military not only have I had special training with bigger dogs but also having close relatives with ESA (emotional support animals) I have always been very close and caring of animals as they are the most pure hearted things on the planet Currently all days are available and am willing to watch on weekends as well animals are the key to the soul and I’m excited they are apart of our lives I live not to far from a dog park and have many toys and space for animals I have a caring girlfriend as well who is very supportive of animals

About: Experience with caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I have a passion for special needs, sick and elderly pets. While not in class I would love to watch your pet(s) and care for them. I recently moved from Chicago to Macomb to pursue school. I have a love for outdoors! Hiking and enjoying trails is one of my favorite hobbies I would love to include your furry friend on! I am a nurse part time and pre-medicine student. My husband, Carlos, works from home and is an even bigger pet lover than myself! My work schedule is “as needed” meaning I make my own schedule, making me flexible for pet parents! My job is also less than a mile from home making me available almost at all times! I have a very spacious one bedroom apartment. I have been told by HVAC and Xfinity people that it is the nicest, largest, one in Macomb. There are also plenty of parks and trails nearby for when your furry friend is ready to explore. I am a home body most days, but of course when the weather is nice that changes! I love to be outdoors. I work part time, while my husband works from home full time. I make my work schedule and can build it around clients needs. I also work a few minutes away allowing me to be home on breaks if need be! I believe in following the rules the pet parents set! This helps decrease anxiety for the pet! I respect all the rules and expectations set by the pet parent as they are in charge at the end of the day!

About: I had a dog that my family had for 10 years, i’ve walked, fed, played with him daily. As soon as I finish school I plan to get a dog of my own! I have also been responsible for dog sitting for 6 weeks with a 8 month old puppy, and did all routine cares for him. I am a part time patient care technician at UIHC, and I also occasionally nanny. I have an avid love for dogs, and since my family just recently lost ours due to heart disease, I look for any chance I can to get some extra dog love. I have a rather flexible schedule, and would love to help you out. I am a playful, gentle person who understands it takes pups time to warm up to new people. I would ensure the area is safe for the dog to be left alone when I leave.

About: I’ve taken care of many animals since I was just a little kid. I’ve always held a special place in my heart for dogs, along with small critters. Just recently I moved from Wisconsin, working at a humane society there where everyday I did all the basic care routines/evaluations for approximately 40 dogs. It was a blast, but I’d also love to slow down, and give 1 on 1 attention to the needs of each. I am currently a pretty free person, beginning my career of dog training, Bait’s Purpose: K-9. I plan my future around my dogs, and training. I care for pets however is requested by the owner(s), this just varies on what each dog is comfortable with. Dogs are in great care, however.

Natalie B.
“We love Natalie! Natalie not only took exceptional care of our 2, “4-legged children” Boe, laid-back, lovable Springer and Porter, who is an energetic, lovable Lab; she also watched over our home and cared for our rooster, Raymond and chickens. Natalie is responsible, as we needed her to give meds to our Porter from her surgery. Knowing Natalie was at our home and with our babies, my husband and I were able to thoroughly enjoy our vacation. Highly recommend Natalie to care for your Family fur babies!”
