“Alexis was awesome and kept my Cali company while I had to be away. Cali sure is enjoying the toy Alexis gave her. I will be sure to use Alexis anytime I need assistance with Cali.”


“Amanda did a great job! My dogs were happy and very well taken care of, and I love the pictures everyday so that I can see how they're doing. I would definitely recommend her for anyone who's wanting their little friends taken care of.”


“Eli is fantastic! I cannot say enough positive things about our experience! Our cat, Babs, was well taken care of, fed, and even got to play while we were away for the weekend! I absolutely loved the check in reports Eli made! My husband and I were smiling all weekend reading them and for the first time I can remember, I wasn't laying awake in bed worrying about if Babs had enough food and water or was getting into trouble while we were away. I would recommend Eli to anyone who has pets and wants them to feel cared for while they are away and I will definitely be contacting Eli again for check ins when my husband and I go on another trip!”

About: Hello, my name is Megan. I have a passion for taking care of all animals. I tend to enjoy animals more than people, lol. I have three dogs, four cats, two rabbits, and two rats. All whom I love dearly and care for. The way I treat my animals is the way I treat other animals. That is with lots of love, patience and care. If you have any questions for me, do not hesitate to ask. I am an open book. I look forward to hearing from you. Until then God Bless & Take Care! I work full-time in a vet clinic so I work visits around my current schedule as best as I can. I am quite successful in doing so and have owners who find my schedule fits theirs. I listen to all concerns from the owner so I make sure to keep all animals safe while under my care. I take all animals safety very seriously so I make sure to watch my surroundings and/or any hazardous items be kept away from the animal. I feed, give fresh water, take outside to use the bathroom, and play with the animal.

About: **Are you located outside of the service area, but I seem like a good match? Please reach out anyway, I'd love to speak with you and could be open to traveling a little further in some circumstances! Hi! My name is Amanda. Thank you for your attention to my Rover profile. I've had pets most of my life! Our family includes a 140lb special needs mastiff (Perro de Presa Canario aka, Canary mastiff), a 12lb Cairn terrier, a 50lb Staffy/boxer mix, and last but not least: a 7lb Dutchie/New Zealand house bunny aka, "The Queen". I am comfortable getting my hands dirty. I have a hard time resisting getting down on the ground everytime I meet someone's dog. It might be my toxic trait. I'm comfortable with bathing and light grooming including: brushing, nail care, and dental care. My availability revolves around my own pets and their needs, of which there are many—medication, walks, grooming, enrichment, etc.. Essentially, my life revolves around ensuring that theirs is one that is as fulfilling, and a far cry from the situations from which they were rescued, as possible. We have a fenced yard on an acre plot. Our bunny is litterbox trained and lives along side us as the beautiful queen that she is. Some people may call us obsessive, but we just love our pets and want to be the best custodians possible.

“She was extremely kind and patient with the dogs! Our dog had a few accidents but she was super nice and understanding and cleaned it up for us! We would recommend her!”



About: I have always been involved with pet care since I was a kid. I have twelve years on a farm, eight years at Chicago k9 Rescue, and six years with Spizziri Reptile Rescue. With my years of experience I have administered medications, changed bandages, fed premature pets around the clock, cut nails for cats and pups, bathed them when needed, etc. I also really enjoy building trust with the ones who struggle trusting. I also have knowledge with basic training for resource guarding, potty training, and recall. This fits perfectly with my schedule and allows me to have flexibility. I currently have an open schedule until my school semester starts up again in mid October. There is no one answer for this. I believe this changes depending on pet type, breed, age, health, etc. I will make sure I communicate effectively with each client. Make sure I keep detailed notes for each. I am extremely proactive, so I make sure I cover all my bases when it comes to safety and trust. I will do everything I would want to be done with my babies.

“Lora went above and beyond this past visit and deservingly earned 5 stars. She checked in on Snoopy one extra time because she wasn't sure I made it back home from vacation and she even bought her Snoopy a new toy. Way to go and I can't wait to have her back to care for my pets.”


“Daryl is the sweetest and treats my fur babies like her own. We’ve already re-booked with her to take care of our kitties. If you want a kind and caring individual who cares for your pets the way you do, look no further, she’s the BEST!”

“Madison was great with my cats. So glad I chose her to care for them while we were away. She did everything perfect. Definitely will choose her again. Love the picture updates as well.”


About: I am currently an owner of an Alaskan Malamute. My dog gets along and does well around other people's pets. I have grown up with dogs ever since I was a child and I have taught them how to do respond to commands and do tricks such as sit, shake paw, roll over, and even crawling. I have taken care of Huskies, a Pug, a Chihuahua and currently own an Alaskan Malamute. I enjoy taking dogs out on walks to parks and trails or just around the neighborhood with my husband and son. We also like to play fetch in the yard with them and they always enjoy their treats! We love the joy a pet brings to ones home and we enjoy making our furry friends happy. I am available everyday of the week and am always at home except dropping off and picking up my son from school. I do not have any other jobs. I have a fenced in yard where pets love to play fetch or run around. I also enjoy taking daily walks with dogs around the neighborhood and giving treats. I stick to their feeding schedule and pets can sleep wherever they feel comfortable here.

About: I have been a dog mom for over 16 years. One dog I had for 16 years before she passed of old age and the other passed after 11. They were very well loved and cared for. I’m currently fostering/potentially foster failing on a senior dog who has social and anger issues, so I’m use to catering to pets needs lol. I’ve experienced baby stage to senior stage. I am my own boss, so I make my own schedule and can accommodate most people’s needs if given enough notice. I’d love to help! My dog is with me majority of the time as he has horrible separations anxiety, but when my fiance is home I can leave him home with him to help your pets!

Pam C.
“Pam is the perfect person to be a pet caregiver. She has watched and cared for my dog as well as my son’s when we have been out of town. Pam even let them out more times then we asked just because she wanted to visit with them. Her dog is the center of her life and feels all owner should be the same way. She loves the outdoors and takes her dog walking many times a day. Either through town or on the trail, she is always prepared with water, treats and waste bags. She loves to go to pet events so her dog has play time with others Pam is a very responsible person and I can always count on her to be there whenever needed. Anyone should comfortable letting Pam care for their pet.”
