“Sarah was amazing with our pack of geriatric pets! She sent pictures every day, and she communicated everything really well. Taking care of our pets is somewhat complicated because of their ages, but Sarah took detailed notes and nailed everything perfectly. Our house was nice and clean when we came home. Sarah was also flexible with our flight delays and stayed an extra night to make sure there was no gap in care while we were struggling to get home. We really couldn't have asked for a better, more trustworthy person to take care of our babies. Thank you so much, Sarah, you were amazing!”
“Holly is so great!! She responds quickly, is reliable, responsible and on time. She left my house immaculate and really bonded with my cat (who hates people) and my dog. Highly recommend!! 💫”
About: Although I have no professional experience working with dogs, growing up I have owned several. As a result, I have turned into a huge dog lover, and I am very comfortable around all breeds and sizes. In addition, I have handled dogs with varying types of demeanor from some that are more nervous and submissive, as well as those who are more dominant. I treat and love every dog I meet as if they were my own. :) I actually did Rover for several years, but took a break as I moved to the UK for a bit. I'm back in the Chicagoland area now though as I figure out next steps, which means lots of time for walks, playtime, and snuggles as I navigate the minefield that is LinkedIn. I'm always happy to check in throughout the day with pictures and videos as I want to make sure you feel confident that your dog is properly taken care of while you're away. Please reach out if you have any further questions! Other languages: fluent in American Sign Language, conversational in Spanish. As mentioned, I'm currently readjusting to being back in the States after living overseas for a few years. As of right now, I've got very open availability. I'm currently unable to have pets in my home. But I'm happy to meet your fur baby where they are and follow whatever routine they've got set. Just let me know!
“Very playful and energetic with my pups! Made sure the my dogs had everything they need and gave them lots of love. While on vacation we received lots of photos. We are happy that we found someone who cares and loves our dogs just as much as us. Jennifer is someone you can trust!”
About: I am the go to pet sitter for all my friends and family, whether it’s vacation or work. Your pet will not be bored with me . I provide the best physical and mental stimulation for your fur babies! I have a very open and flexible schedule and am willing to work around your routine and schedule. Rain snow or shine! I’ll be there! I can completely adhere to your rules and provide them the utmost comfort, safety and love. Safety is my number one priority in any situation!
About: I've taken care of dogs my entire life. I'm comfortable with all breeds and sizes, personalities and medical needs. While I have personally owned and cared for dogs as pets for most of my life, I also have 4+ years of professional dog handler and training reinforcement experience, working with herding border collies. I'd be happy to take care of your pet for you as well as provide any needed medicine or care requirements, and reinforce your behavioral training goals during my time caring for your pet! I have a day job, that requires me to work 6 to 10 hours a day on a given day, at various hours. I'm happy to give undivided attention to your pet any hour of the day that I'm not working my day job! Current work schedule Monday: 5:45a to 2p Wednesday: 3:45p to 10:30p Thursday: 3:45p to 10:30p I have a fenceless yard and we use a secured tether to allow our dogs a wide range of room in my yard to go potty and exercise in.
“We were in a pinch a few days out from a vacation and our normal boarding facility was completely booked. We looked on Rover and Caterina had great experience and was somewhat close to our house. Our dogs are family and leaving them at a boarder, even one we trust, still gives us a level of anxiety. Having an in home sitter was a great option. We met Caterina and she put our anxiety at ease right away! It was very obvious that she was an animal lover. Through our four day vacation she sent a ton of pics (which we love!) and when there was something that came up that was house related, she was very communicative and we were able to troubleshoot together. One of our dogs has a limited ingredient diet with odd eating habits and our other dog requires pain medication. Caterina understood all of their requirements and handled them perfectly. I would highly, highly recommend Caterina for any services but especially in home services. It means a lot to have our dogs stay in their own house while we are away and Caterina put our worries to rest.”
About: I have taken care of many dogs from 8 week old puppies to 19 year old senior dogs. Both require a lot of patience and care that is why family and referrals have trusted me with there dogs. I’m currently working part time from home. I have been working part time for the last two years since my dog was sick and needed my attention. I had taken a break from dog sitting my regular clients as well to tend to my dog of 10 years now that he has passed I want to focus on dog sitting for others. I have a fenced in yard that is a good size for the dogs to roam around however I do take my dogs for at least 2 long walks and 1 short one to get enough exercise.
About: I have a lot of experience with dogs as both an owner and as a foster home/parent. I recently had a foster dog that was used as a breeding Mom dog for 4 years and was terrified when we got her. I have pet sat at my home for family, friends, and neighbor's dogs. I would go multiple times a week to my neighbor's house to take her dogs out and play with them while Mom & Dad were working late. I have also volunteered with humane societies over the years, even flew down to FL to volunteer with a rescue after a hurricane. I have experience transporting foster dogs to their new homes with a rescue group out of Missouri where we adopted our foster fail from. I am an Independent Photographer so I only work when I have sessions or editing to do, leaving me with lots of time to dedicate to the pups 😀 The dogs wellbeing is my top concern always! If I am coming to walk or play with your dog while you're at work I will make sure your family member is happy and content before leaving.
About: At home, I have 4 dogs and I have always had many dogs at my house. Because I recently had to move back home, I cannot have dogs overstay at my house for that reason. However, I am more than willing to walk/run with your dog, stop by the house when the dog(s) need company such as playing, eating, walking, potty breaks, and any other special needs. Dogs are just like people too, and they should be treated as such! I always treat every single dog as if they were my own. My dogs are my babies. As I mentioned, I have 4 dogs at home and one of my Australian Sheppards is half blind and fully deaf. She has always needed extra support and attention because of her needs and I have no problem with deaf or blind dogs.
“Sierra was awesome with my two large dogs. She took great care for two weeks including walks and stayed at my home with them. When I came home the house was clean and my dogs were well taken care of. She was really good at sending me daily updates with photos as well I highly recommend Sierra.”
About: I’ve overnight babysat puppies and dogs and have fostered cats and kittens with the lovely organization Anticruelty. I’m currently taking care of my three fur babies. I’ve personally trained my dog Koda basic and more advanced commands, (sit, stay, paw, bow, speak, wait, high five, to potty on a potty pad and outside, etc.) I’m on the road to success with my other dog Zulu. He has achieved commands like sit, stay, roll over, paw, down, being potty trained, etc. Additionally, I’ve worked with my cat Darla on not getting on countertops, no curtain climbing, no couch scratching and being gentle with humans around her! I currently work a part time job as a swim instructor as well as attending school as a senior. Weekends work best for me but weekdays are doable! If you’re willing to work with what i’ve got, i’m willing to work with you and compromise! I strongly believe in respect and security. No matter what, I will treat you and your fur baby with the respect that I would want my own to be treated with. I would never purposely violate the privacy you’ve entrusted me with. Besides that, I have a fenced in yard and two very social dogs to keep your fur baby company!
About: I have had pets of all kinds since I was a child. Often friends and family ask me to pet sit. They know their house and pets are in good hands, and that I will care for them as if they are my own. I just love animals. I work for myself in my own business so I have a pretty flexible schedule depending on how I need to schedule life and clients. I usually ask for pet owners to leave me instructions so that I can care for their pets the way they need me to, and to also provide any emergency numbers for vets and neighbors in case of emergencies. I give them lots of cuddles and attention. I love to walk so dogs will definitely get their exercise. I am very cautious with their paws in hot weather and rainy or cold weather too. I would definitely take good care of them.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 12. Always growing up with 3+ large dogs in my home. I also have helped my sister in the past fostering dogs and finding strays. I currently do not have a full time job and am available pretty much 24/7. I am very flexable and can work around your schedule! I do not care for pets in my personal home but when I am a client's home I am sure to keep a daily routine with the pets and keep them up to there usual activity level.

As always, Sarah went above and beyond while our family went on vacation. It is a huge relief to know that our pup and our home are both in wonderful care while we are away. She sends pictures and videos, updates us, and leaves the house as clean as it was when she got here. She is such a trustworthy and kind person. 100% our go to choice when we leave. I definitely recommend her to anyone considering!
W felt very comfortable with Holly pet sitting in our home. Penny and Buddy liked her and she let me know how things were going daily. Holly will be the first person I contact for pet sitting when we are away from home for an overnight or longer. She also took good care of our home
Holly was fantastic with our pups. We had a little anxiety leaving our babies with a new person, but she made it so easy to trust. She was very communicative and our girls loved her. She even left our house spotless when she left. We will be booking her for all future trips. 10/10
