About: I have a canine first aid training and 13 years of experience working at boarding kennels and agility competitions. Dog walking and canicross competition. . I am currently stay at home mom setting up my veterinary physiotherapy business. I am very outdoorsy and active person. But I can also switch off and relax. Whatever energy your pet needs. I am more than happy to provide it. I am very flexible and willing to work out whatever suits you and your pet the best. We have fenced yard and one friendly spayed female dog Willow. We also have two cats and a baby. Dogs have to be friendly. Our yard is 0.5 acre, loads of room to roam. Recently we removed our old swimming pool so now there is even more space for the animals to run. Your pet will be always supervised. If your pet stays at my house you need to provide their food. I would also recommend to bring their blanket or a favourite toy to help with the transition. If your pet is used to sleeping in a crate please bring your crate too or let me know ahead so I can make sure my crate is available. I can provide treats, blankets, bowls and toys. All pets sleep inside the home.

“Kyleen is amazing! Yesterday my dog had an accident in her crate with diarrhea everywhere. Kyleen responded to the situation with compassion and understanding- she even wiped down some of the mess so that it was easier for me to clean up once I got home! I would highly recommend her!”

About: I bring a unique blend of patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals that helps me quickly build trust with both pets and their people. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs whether that means keeping a playful pup busy or making sure a senior dog feels safe and comfortable. Here’s a bit about my experience: • Puppy care, leash walking, and reinforcing basic commands • Senior dogs, with gentle handling, slower-paced walks, and medication routines • Special needs pets, providing calm, detail-oriented care • Administering medications (oral, topical, and injectable) • Multi-pet households, managing dynamics so everyone gets love and attention I always prioritize communication I’ll send regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I truly treat every animal as if they were my own, creating a calm and loving environment while you’re away. I’m planning to transition out of my hourly job and become a full-time sitter while in school. Balancing classes and work can be a lot, but pet care has always been something that brings me joy and helps me decompress.

In my home, I keep things clean, pet-proofed, and stocked with toys, cozy spaces, and outdoor access for breaks and playtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific habits or routines. I make sure pets feel secure and loved, whether they’re in familiar surroundings or visiting mine.

About: Hi there! Thanks for reading my page. I've cared for dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, bunnies, chinchillas, hamsters, rats, snakes, and even horses! I have several years of experience with pet walking, quick visits and house-sitting for clients, coworkers, family and friends. Maximum time I've lived-in was 2 weeks, and most animals cared for at once was 7! (2 birds, 2 dogs and 3 cats.) I will pet-sit any age, any size, any breed. If you need your pet taken to the vet, groomer, or a friend, I have reliable transportation to do so. I'll even pick up supplies and food if you provide the payment for it, and if requested, I can sweep, dust, vaccum, and overall tidy up! I'd prefer working in a cleaner home, though this is not required. Happy pet, happy vet, right? :) (Note: I used to go by Cat, which is what people called me in the reviews, but I've changed it to Oliver!) I can't host any pets, but I love to visit your fur babies! Any needs they have, I'm happy to provide. I'm definitely a tidy person, and guarantee to leave your house as neat as possible. :) I’m a self-employed artist, and I work from home, so my schedule is fairly flexible. If you need me on short-notice, feel free to ask! I can usually make things work. As someone that tries to be as organized and as safe as possible, I can confidently say that I’ll leave your house just as tidy as it was when I arrived.

About: I am good with cats, dogs and guinea pigs. I can clean out litter boxes, change bedding for guinea pigs and also have extensive experience in caring for a guinea pig's special needs. I’m currently working Mon-Thurs from 8:15am-4:30pm and Friday from 8:15am-12:30pm and I get an hour lunch! So if you ever need me to check in on your fur babies, I can do that! And I can still stay overnight if needed! I will follow instructions how to care for your animals in your home. This can include baths, walks, potty breaks, play time and feeding times.

About: I have taken care care of friends and family Pets for years and it’s with no doubt the best job. Time flies when I’m playing with them and they have the best cuddles Pet care isn’t just part of my routine—it’s something I genuinely look forward to every day. I’ve had a deep love for animals, especially dogs, for as long as I can remember. Spending time with them brings me peace, joy, and purpose. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel loved, safe, and truly seen. Caring for pets isn’t a job to me—it’s my passion and something I pour my whole heart into. Whether in my home or a client’s, I care for pets with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I follow any routines or instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or favorite toys. In a client’s home, I make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable in their own space, keeping things clean, calm, and familiar. If they’re with me, they get a cozy, stress-free environment with plenty of play, snuggles, and supervision. I treat every pet like my own—always with respect, care, and lots of love.

About: Hi! Just moved to Highland and I work remote. I am able to work from anywhere as long as you have WiFi. I’m looking to make a little extra cash on the side. I grew up with a lab and a pit bull so taking responsible of pets is nothing new to me. I enjoy getting out to exercise and later cuddling up with the dogs! Not having one of my own is rough right now so what better way to hang with man’s best friend and get paid for it by creating a profile on Rover :) Whether it’s my place or yours I’m here to help look after your fur child while you are busy or on vacation. Overnight as well. Feel free to reach out at anytime! I have plenty of references if you need them. Breakfast and walk in the morning. Hangout during the daily while I work at my desk. I will take them out/walks for as many potty breaks as your dog needs!! I treat your animals as if they were my own. Most days will just be laying around and relaxing to keep both your animals and I comfortable.

About: Just getting started here on Rover; however, I have years of experience taking care of family and friends pets. Whether they’re dogs, cats, reptiles, etc. I love all animals and my children who are 11 & 13, also love and enjoy helping me care for others pets. We have a miniature dachshund who is so handsome and playful. I would love to take care of your pets ❤️ I have a flexible work schedule, so that allows my availability throughout the day and night to cater to your pets needs. I am available weekends as well and would love to help care for your fur baby whenever needed. I am able to give full attention to your animals in your home. I can drop by at anytime and let them outside, feed and give them water. I can also stay and play with them so they get the attention they deserve!

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have always been the one to care for them. I’m dependable, loving, and comfortable with pets of all ages. Your pet’s well-being is my main focus. I’m available on weekdays and most weekends to provide them with consistent, loving care and attention they’ll enjoy.” I live in a neighborhood that’s great for walking dogs and very safe, with quiet streets and plenty of green spaces. It’s a peaceful area where neighbors look out for each other, making every walk enjoyable.

About: I’ve always grown up around dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and etc. A dog is more than just an animal, they are a part of the family. Im a dental assistant and love helping people achieve the confidence to smile again. Im 22 years old and still live with my parents so this is a great side hustle to save money to move out eventually. At home we have a basset hound named Maggie that’s three years old, an Australian Shepard named Ranger that is also three years old, a Yorkie Shih Tzu named Trixie that is about 15 years old (yeah I know she’s basically deaf and blind but old girl is still kicking it), and then two cats that we rescued on the side of the road named Stormi & Klondike! I also have chickens & ducks! Let me dogsit your fur baby 🥰 I’m currently working at a private dental office located in Staunton, IL Monday-Thursday. Usually when I dog sit for a family friend or just anyone in general I stay at their house with the dog(s) so they feel comfortable in their own environment. My work hours are as followed; Monday & Thursday: 7-4pm (lunch 12-1pm) Tuesday 8-6pm (lunch 1-2 or 2-3pm) and Wednesday 7-1pm. I am a reliable and a caring person to watch your fur babies! I usually stay at the clients house so the pet is in a familiar environment and won’t get over stimulated. Every dog is different and so I usually meet the clients and/or the dog(s) so they are somewhat familiar with me and aren’t frightened by a stranger while their loved ones are away.

“Amanda was great. Very friendly, responsible, and responsive. We had her come walk our large labradoodle several days during the week. It was nice to meet with her prior to the walks. Would definitely recommend her!”
