About: I have been an dog lover since I can remember. With my previous personal experience with family dogs, you can feel at ease leaving your dog with me. I feel at home and happy when I am able to be with and care for all kinds of dogs. I enjoy being active outside but I also enjoy cuddles and playtime. No matter the needs of your dog, I am willing to help! I am a local School Counselor, but want to spend my summer doing something else I enjoy while helping others who need quality care for their fur baby. I am extremely accommodating and willing to help your dog feel comfortable and happy no matter what. I look forward to meeting you and your dog.

About: From dogs, cats, gerbils, and even pigs, I’ve been taking care of a variety of pets since I was a kid. I’ve always had a passion for animals and would love to be considered for taking care of yours! I’m a stay-at-home mom who can dedicate the time to be there for your pet when you’re afar. Since I am home a majority of the day, if not all, I’m only a step away from your pet making sure his/her needs are taken care of. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs of my own. They are getting up there in age, so they tend to keep more to themselves (when they aren’t sleeping).

“Amber was great with Gus! She walked him longer than I asked & brought him back to me tired and happy. I will definitely use her again ?”

About: When considering a pet sitter, I bring years of experience and a genuine passion for animal care. Having taken care of pets since I was just 9 years old, I've developed a deep understanding of their behaviors and needs. My love for dogs, in particular, drives me to provide the best possible care for each furry friend I encounter. I pride myself on being intuitive when it comes to animals, allowing me to recognize their emotions and needs quickly. This ability helps me create a comfortable and nurturing environment, ensuring that pets feel secure and loved in my care. I easily bond with animals, which not only enhances their well-being but also fosters trust between us. Choosing me as your pet sitter means entrusting your beloved companions to someone who is not just experienced but genuinely cares about their happiness and health. I am committed to providing a safe and enriching experience for your pets while you are away. Part-time seasonal pet-care is what I’m offering. I can house sit pets for vacations or short trips that just require pets be taken outside or a walk. I have 11 years of pet ownership experience, and from that I am confident that I can handle most any of the needs of others pets.

About: Every pet has their own personality, taking care of their needs is getting to get them to take care of their needs when they need taking care of. I'm retired working one day a week cleaning houses. I looking to eaen a little money doing work that I would enjoy and help out others with pets I'm available for walks and or taking care of your pets in your home environment with your pets needs. I'm available overnight mornings and evening but Friday afternoons.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my love for animals and my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages. Growing up, my family had two dogs, so I have cared for pets through every stage of life, from puppies to senior dogs. After caring for both, I gained valuable experience in dog walking and watching. Overall, I am confident that I can adapt to each dog’s individual needs. I am also very reliable and great at communicating. I will make it a priority to updates the parents with messages and even photos. I am currently a college-athlete, so during the school year, I do have to dedicate time each day for class and practice. However, I want to make time for this because I really enjoy spending time with animals. Since I can not be with my own, pet walking/sitting is the perfect opportunity! When I care for a pet in a client’s home, I would follow their routine as closely as possible so that their pet feels comfortable. For dog walks, I would make sure to match the dog’s energy level and needs. As for their safety, I am always alert and off my phone so that they have my full attention.

“She is wonderful!”

About: I’ve had many pets throughout my life! I’ve had dogs, cats, a bunny and a hedgehog! I’ve worked for an independent pet sitter before! I’ve taken a couple training classes with my own fur babies so I know a little bit about training. I’ve helped nurse kittens as well! I work M-F 8am-5/6pm & have weekends off. I do sometimes change my work schedule around for pet visits so I charge a cancellation fee for cancellations that are 2 days before. My own pets are kenneled throughout the day when no one is home. They go outside regularly about every 2 hours when someone is home. I feed them early morning & when I get home from work. We work through our training exercises daily! I take care of my clients pets however they have asked me to and treat them as if they are my own fur babies! Your pets will know nothing but love & fun when I’m with them!

“Phillip is such an amazing young man. KUDOS to whoever raised him in this generation. My little Devyn just loves him and so do I . He texted exactly on time and was here exactly on time. I will be booking him weekly. Thanks Phillip”

About: Please use my promo code… https://www.rover.com/sit/rosal48641 I have a Great Pyrenees and am used to large dogs and no issue handling smaller pets as well. I periodically watch pets for friends and family. Distance and time are very flexible most days. Let me know if you need assistance and I can find a way to make it work. Periodic walks are necessary for pets of all sizes and for humans as well. :) Favorite part of my day with my Pyrenees is long walks and sunshine.

About: Southern Illinois born and raised! I’ve been around animals all my life and have loved every second of it, from puppies to seniors I have all around experience. Tend well to schedules, love walking and playing with the fur babies! I am currently a stay at home mom to my sweet two year old little girl. My husband is in the Marine corps and we just moved back after 7 years of being gone from Illinois and now stationed on Scott! With my husband’s schedule I have the flexibility of doing what I love and that’s carrying for the fur babies! My house is a two story with baby gates at the top and bottom stairs. I have a fenced in yard, with two precious little fur babies. If you crate your animal my laundry room is on the main floor of the home and is quite spacious for crates or if you allow free roam the downstairs is where your little one will be!

About: Growing up my mom was a professional dog trainer so we always had different dogs in the house. I learned how to do everything from basic care to in depth trick training. My friends, family, and neighbors have always relied on my to care and train their dogs ever since I was young. I have a puppy, an almost 2 year old, and a senior dog in my own home so I am able to care for any age. I am currently a student but there is always someone available to care for the animals in my home. Typically I leave home by 8am and return by 1pm every week day. I am home in the evenings and all weekend. I have a fenced in yard and three friendly dogs that love to play. I have plenty of dog toys and bones to keep everyone busy and happy. All dogs must be up-to-date on vaccinations in order to stay.

About: I had a senior chihuahua of my own and have helped care for a variety of small to medium dogs for friends and family. I’m familiar with the unique needs of senior pets and have experience handling reactive behavior—especially on walks. My own dog had reactive tendencies, so I’ve learned how to manage challenging situations calmly and with care. I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m currently working full-time, but I usually have free time in the afternoons or evenings to care for our furry friends and help out as needed. I am flexible and willing to work with different hours. I always prioritize safety and respect in every environment, whether I’m in your home or out on a walk. I follow all special instructions and rules you have for your pets to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Building trust—with both pets and their owners—is always my top priority.

About: I've always pet sat for my friends and family. I started when I was in high school. I sincerely just love animals and it makes me happy to help others being around pets. I just do Doordashing in my free time. So I can work the two apps around each other! I started Rover last year but stopped to try other things instead and take care of my health more. I'm currently down 110lbs and ready to take care of your beautiful animals! I have my two cats right now. I'm also the one my friends and family always ask to take care of their pets when on vacation. I'm the type of person to stop and move the turtle out of the road or help a lost dog find it's way back home.

About: The house I grew up in was always filled with a variety of down on their luck creatures being nursed back to health under my mother's watchful eye. That love of all things great and small carried on through high school, where I volunteered at my local Humane Society on evenings and weekends, to adulthood. I now combine my profession as an RN with my passion for animals by fostering medical complex/seriously injured cats for a local rescue. I am comfortable with other species and with giving any medications. Caring for animals is my passion and hobby. I love meeting new animal friends! I work a weekend option schedule making me free for visits throughout the week, Monday through Friday! I am incredibly flexible to meet you and your pets needs. I will carefully follow any instructions left by you! Even the ones that make you feel a little silly asking, lol! My cat only eats if I place her on the second level of the cat tree and stare at her until she is done. I understand and I'm prepared to do whatever you need! I believe in gentle and kind reinforcement/redirection. I would never raise my voice or hand to yours or any pet. I will treat your pets as if they are my own and I treat my own as children!

About: I’ve taken care of all types dogs for awhile now. I also have a dog of my own who is trained and great with other pups. In my neighborhood I have watched/ walked many pups. I am currently in the military and work full time. I live on base so I am able to take take them out mornings afternoons and evenings & spend a lot of time in between with them! I only do care in my home for boarding. I have a fenced yard and also have a dog of my own. If needed I also have space if you prefer to have your pup crated .

About: Ever since a young age, I’ve always wanted to take care of others/animals. I left human medicine in 2020, and went into veterinary medicine. I never looked back! The past 5 years, I’ve worked as a vet tech for a local humane society and a local animal hospital. I learned so much!! From animal education, to reading body language as a second instinct, to caring for birds and even wildlife. I have experience in caring for almost every companion you could think of. I’m educated in medical cases and disabled pets as well. I also have experience in dealing with reactive dogs. My own dog is reactive. He has taught me so much over the past 3 years together. They are still a dog and deserve to be a dog, we just have to help them rewire their brain. I have learned the patience and I’ve seen the rewards🥹 My family sees a major difference in my dog since adopting him. I call myself a stay at home pet mom right now. Due to some health issues, I’m unable to perform my job I love so much. That being said, I’d love to add your babies to my OPEN availability! As I mentioned, I do have a reactive dog. He is not “agressive”! A lot of the times people get fear mixed up with anger. I keep him crated when I’m not home. He does fine with most dogs. Especially if they are smaller than him. If they are bigger then him, he gets a little rambunctious. I have a large back yard, but is not fenced in yet. I take my dog out via leash all day, every day. I never leave my own pet, let alone someone else’s, outside unattended. I also have cat but I have many rooms that I have set up, so if needed she will be put in her car room. If your pets don’t do okay with cats, I will make sure she is up. I used to have a pitbull that was no cat friendly and we existed for years together🥰

About: I have fostered several puppy after we lost our German Shepherd at the age of 3. Although we were devastated, fostering helped us and our remaining pup to heal. We foster failed with two pups and recently added another GSD so our family. I love the dog mom life. I work from home so I have availability to see about my babies and yours, very often. They are my companions, my therapy and my sanity. Since I have 4 pups of my own I would not want to dog sit at my home but will gladly see to your pet’s needs in the comfort of their own home.
