Pet care experience

Love pets of all sizes and types!

Happy to do short or long outings with pups at any speed from a slow walk to a high-energy run. We live close to Volunteer Park and several other lovely parks for nature-filled walks. We have flexible schedules during the day for walks, playtime, and any other pet care needs. We have both been pet-owners and pet-sitters (including dogs, cats, birds, turtles, guinea pigs, hermit crabs, and more!) for around 18 years and love animals of all kinds! Right now we are proud pup parents to Tangyuan the Samoyed, a friendly and playful guy. We can bring him along on walks if your pup wants social time! We are happy to accommodate any of your pet's quirks and needs, just let us know. Can't wait to meet you and your companion!

Safety, trust & environment

We treat every pet as if they were our own. In your home, we carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, routines, and any special needs. We pay close attention to doors, windows, and potential hazards to ensure cats remain safe and secure. Building trust is important to us, and we take the time to earn each pet’s comfort through patience, gentle interactions, and respect for their individual personality and boundaries.

Rachel and Jens were amazing for our dog. She was happy and healthy when we got back. They sent us lots of pictures and gave our pups lots of exercise. They were super communicative and friendly. Great sitters!

Good communication before and during our dog’s stay. Sent daily updates and pictures. We felt comfortable our dog was in good hands and would use Rachel and Jens again in the future.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine as we work from home, but with very flexible schedules. We prioritize reliability and consistency, making sure pets receive care, attention, and companionship at their scheduled times. Whether it’s feeding, litter box maintenance, play sessions, medication, or simply spending quality time together, we plan our days around providing dependable care and maintaining each pet’s normal routine while their owners are away.

We’d love to know about your pet’s personality, daily routine, favorite toys, feeding schedule, and any medical needs or medications so however is best for you to convey that, be it a write up of anything you can think of, or a pre-visit to get to know them. It’s also helpful to know how they typically interact with new people, what comforts them when stressed, and any behaviors or habits you’d like us to be aware of. The more we know ahead of time, the better we can provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for your pet.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
