“Glen made sure our pup got his exercise on some nice afternoon walks while I was traveling for work. He arrived on time and sent a photo each time. Would recommend him!”

About: I'm a stay at home mom who would love to give your pet a fun, safe place to be while you're away! I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10, everything from high energy herding dogs to disabled senior cats to newborn puppies. Since I'm able to be around all day, I can give your pet the full attention and care I know I want for my own when I'm away as well. If they stay with us, we have a nice fenced in backyard and our own very friendly dog they can play with as well. I also have a 1 year old with me at all times, which may be important to know. If your pet stays with us I will keep a very watchful eye/keep them separate if there's any doubt about your pet's comfortability with children around. On our end we've taught our child pet safety from day 1 with our own dog, so we have never had a problem. For walks and drop-in visits, he will be in a carrier on my back. So excited to meet you and your pet! I'm a stay at home mom so I am very flexible with my daily routine and am able to give lots of time to your loved one! I have a nice fenced in yard and a very friendly medium-energy dog that yours can play with if they'd like. I'm very used to following specific feeding instructions, giving medication, etc.,. Whatever care and attention your pet needs, you can trust that they will get it here! I also love to send update photos! I know how nice it is to see that my guy is doing well when I'm away so I'd love to give you that peace of mind as well!
“Sarah was wonderful in communicating with us and taking Elle on a walk for us. We appreciated that she took the time for a meet and greet beforehand to make sure we were all set. Of course, Elle loved her too!”

“Victoria has been very proactive in learning about our doggo’s needs & quirks. She has communicated well with us, letting us know when she’ll arrive & flexible in her availability, even on short notice.”

About: I am currently enrolled at Fox College studying to become a vet technician. I have loved animals my whole life. I began volunteering at my local shelter as soon as I could. I began volunteering with my parents since I was only 10 when I started. I have also been lucky enough to foster multiple families of kittens. You can rely on me to keep your pets entertained, their space clean and ultimately make your life easier! I am currently nannying for two boys on weekday afternoons so I am able to walk or check in on pets before or after that commitment. Other than that my schedule is very flexible. When I care for someone else’s pet, I follow their routine, give them affection, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I stick to your instructions and stay in touch so the pet feels well cared for while you’re away.
About: Hi, I’m Katie! As a lifelong pet owner with professional experience working in a doggie daycare and boarding facility, I know that no two pets are exactly alike. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk, a slow sniff-and-stroll, or your cat needs some quiet, attentive companionship during a drop-in visit, I customize every single visit to match your pet's unique routine and personality. My time in professional doggie daycare taught me how to read animal body language accurately, manage different temperaments, and anticipate a pet's needs before a problem arises. Because of this background, safety is my absolute top priority. I am incredibly strict about secure leashing, environmental awareness during walks, and maintaining a calm, controlled environment. I treat every dog and cat in my care with the same patience, love, and vigilance as I do my own. I look forward to learning all about your pet's specific preferences, favorite quirks, and care rules so I can provide the exact experience they need to feel happy and safe! I work entirely from home, which means my schedule is highly flexible. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, allowing me to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. When staying or visiting your home, my priority is maintaining your pet's familiar environment and daily routine to minimize stress. I double-check that all doors, windows, and gates are locked securely before and after walks. I treat your home with the utmost respect, keep food and medications safely out of reach, and provide regular photo updates so you know your pet is safe and happy.
About: I have up to a eight years of experience taking care of animals. The most known being cats, dogs, birds, and some farmlife. I also have experience in grooming regarding bathing dogs and cats. This is something I am currently working toward furthering my career in. I am currently unemployed, although I am working on getting a job. I care for two cats at home full time as well as the occasional care of my roommate's pet skink. I have a 7 year old and an 8 month old who is sometimes a full-time job himself. I currently live in an apartment so I do not offer care at my home due to my lease not allowing it. However, within the home of my client I try to keep a common eye on the animals, making sure they are fed, have water, and if required the litterbox/bathroom is done whenever they need it.
“Michelle came through for us! Our sitter hit a snafu and was late. Michelle came by the house and sprung our puppy just when she needed it. It’s so great to have someone capable and trustworthy to call!”

“Heather was so amazing!! I felt completely at ease knowing Delilah was in her hands!! She went above and beyond for our pup and it was truly such a blessing ❤️ will definitely rebook!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets and understand how important it is to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s personality and needs. I can help with walking, feeding, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel calm and loved while their owners are away. I always prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication with pet parents. I provide reliable and attentive pet care services tailored to each pet’s needs. My services may include dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, refreshing water, litter box cleaning, and companionship. I also make sure pets stay mentally and physically stimulated through playtime, enrichment activities, and gentle exercise. My goal is to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away I have experience caring for pets both personally and for family and friends. I have cared for cats and dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Through this experience, I’ve learned the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to each pet’s behavior and needs. I understand how important trust is when someone leaves their pet in another person’s care, and I always treat every pet with kindness, responsibility, and genuine affection.
“Sydney was amazing! She took such great care of Toshi during his walks, and he looked so happy in all the photos she sent. She kept me updated, was very communicative, and has such a positive attitude. You can really tell how much she loves animals. I’m so glad I chose her, and I’ll definitely book with her again. I highly recommend Sydney!”


About: Hi!! I’m currently a grad student looking to fill my time during my weekdays/weekends when I’m not in class :) I have experience working with young puppies, as well as helping train service dogs in training for 4 years. I also have a family dog who is 5 years old and a retired service dog!! I am happy to help with dropping in while you’re at work or on a trip :)) I am currently in grad school some weekday evenings so most of my availability is during the day!! I also work in retail so I have some weekends open depending on my schedule!! I will always ensure I am providing the best care for your pets, whether I’m just checking in, letting them out, or taking them on a walk. I’m aware of how to handle different behaviors, being around other animals, and of course will always respect your animal and space :)
About: I’ve grown up always around animals. Whether they were mine, my grandparents, or a friends. I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and dogs emotionally and physically. I also volunteered to a few animal shelters to learn how to properly take care of both cats and dogs. I normally work mornings until around 2-4 pm. So I’m available the rest of the day to take care of your pets. I’m on a rotating shift so essentially I’m available everyday all day for anyone in need for pet care. There’s also times of the month I’m available all week for anyone who plans to take a vacation out of state for a week. I’ll be available to make sure your pets can also relax until you guys come back. In both my home and the client's, I will make sure all of the pets needs are taken care of. Whether that be: entertainment, training, or food.

“Zhiyang was great. She followed all very specific directions for my young puppy’s schedule. You can tell she really loves animals with her care and playfulness. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”

“Lluvya was a blessing to have during my time in Champaign. She was very professional & went out of her way to ensure my bingo was taken care of and that was getting the best treatment possible! Would book again! Thank you!”


About: Animal and Pet Experience: I currently volunteer weekly at a cat shelter where I interact with and take care of a wide range of cats. I absolutely adore working there and have always been an animal lover! I've owned and taken care of a variety of pets throughout my life, including cats, dogs, gerbils, and at one point in my adolescence, a toad. I love and am capable of taking care of a wide range of animals. All of the cats I grew up with had feline leukemia, leading them to require extra care and medication. I am known for being very gentle and patient, and will give your beloved pet lots of attention, care, and cuddles. :) Flexibility/Location/Hours: I am very flexible in terms of pricing, hours, location, and last-minute bookings or cancellations. I know how chaotic life can be and how valuable flexibility is, especially when it comes to the care of our pets. I am willing to negotiate, make adjustments as needed, and will prioritize the best and most stress-free experience for you and your pets. General Qualities: I am a very fast learner, rule-follower, and problem-solver, and will not hesitate to communicate or ask questions if I have them. I want nothing but the best possible experience for you, the owner, and your beloved pets, as I know how much value they bring to a household. I am always happy and quick to communicate if you have any questions or concerns. I promise your furry friend is in good hands! I am currently in the market for an animal-related job, and I am waiting to hear back from several dog kennels and pet stores. In the meantime, Rover is my priority for income and further animal experience. On Monday nights, from 6-8 pm, I typically have a prior commitment, but it can easily be adjusted or joined virtually. For now, animal care and pet-sitting are my number one priority. I do not offer pet sitting at my home, but I am very flexible in terms of location and hours to do what is best for your pet at your own home. I can provide additional treats and toys if allowed or preferred, and will prioritize the safety and care of your pet. I will follow the rules and schedule that are provided and will update you with any questions, concerns, or updates. My main priority is providing safe, stress-free, reliable care that is personalized for your household and pet to your standards and expectations.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Naperville
Mei Li walked my dog, Sadie, for 30 minutes around our neighborhood. Sadie can pull on the leash and sometimes eat things off the ground, but Mei Li did a great job making sure Sadie was on her best behavior and didn’t get into anything she shouldn’t have. Sadie came back tired from a long walk, and was happy to interact with Mei Li before she left. Sadie will definitely be asking for Mei Li to take her on more walks!

Gillian was absolutely amazing with my Dalmatian I would definitely recommend her over and over again. She put my little guy at ease and he always came back smiling and he would hug her when she got here, so I would say he’s a very happy client, that adored her. Thanks Gillian! We appreciate you!
