Pet care experience

Full-Time Dog Walker & House Sitter

Full-time dog walker & house sitter in Joliet, IL, focused on reliable, structured care. I’m especially comfortable with high-energy dogs that need more than a quick bathroom walk, as well as senior pets who benefit from patience, consistency, and calm handling. My goal is simple: keep your pet’s routine stable and send clear updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions carefully and maintain your pet’s normal routine for feeding, exercise, and medications. I prioritize safety, secure leashing, proper entry and exit protocols, and close supervision at all times. Your home is treated with respect, and your pet’s well-being is my first priority.

Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I currently have full-time flexibility. I’m available mornings, midday, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I structure my day around your pet’s needs to ensure consistent attention and reliable service.

Before the first visit, I like to understand your pet’s routine, temperament, medical needs, energy level, and any behavioral considerations. The more details you share, the more consistent and stress-free I can make their care.
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.
