“Jess was awesome. Took us pretty last minute, and was open to our dog who is very new to us. We have only had him two weeks,, so we didn’t have allot of info to give her. She knows dogs,,, knew how to great a very hyper dog on first meeting. She told us it’s not her first rodeo and it showed. I would recommend her and plan on using her I. The future.”


“Julia took great care of my two baby doggies. Provided me updates and photos. Appreciate her being flexible with my last minute request to dog sit.”


“Jason did a great job watching our German shepherd and our Lab He came out to meet them before and stayed 2 days and nights. Jason is reliable and a great sitter we will definitely use him again”


“Bridgitt is fantastic! She thinks of the little things and always put our babies first. She sent videos, updates and pics throughout our entire trip which we appreciated so much. Our older cat had gotten seriously sick a few weeks before so we were very concerned having to leave. She made us feel so secure that everyone was in good hands. THANK YOU BRIDGITT!”


“I was very pleased with our sitter Katelyn. I received a good handful of cute photos. Updates on their potty time and eating. Both of my pitbull's took to her and we're laying down on the couch next to her within minutes. The best part of this, was that both of my dogs ate their dinner when it was prepared for them with us being gone so long during the day. My eldest dog has a pretty good dose of separation anxiety. It does not look like he felt any anxiety at all, and I could not be more pleased. And the youngest pitbull was happy to have somebody to play with, which she began doing almost immediately. Very, very happy!!”


About: I’ve always been very passionate in animals. I have taken care of animals since I was 12 years old. I started my own dog treat business when I was 13 year old. I am currently a student at Joliet Junior college. I am looking for a part time job. I will be available during the day and overnight. I have no pets. I currently live with my parents. My mom is allergic to animals so I will not be able to take them to my home.

“Marissa took excellent care of my four adult cats during a three-night stay. She was professional and personable, followed care instructions and sent timely updates. The house was in excellent shape when I got back and the cats were happily chillin'. I could tell they enjoyed her company. This was my first time having a sitter and I have to say it was a really positive experience. I’d definitely recommend and book her again!”


“Absolutely the best, Kelly is so wonderful with our home and our pup, she’s the only reason we’re able to travel (and so flexible with us when we do!)”


About: I have always had pets since I was born. I have bathed, walked and taken care of all of the pets I have personally have. I also have experience with all different types of animals! Including exotic reptiles and farm animals! I am fit to take care of any animal big or small! I’m currently working part-time as a hostess and I am attending college! I have lots of free time and would love spending that time caring for pets. I am usually working Thursday nights and Sunday morning but I am available almost any other time of the week! In my own home I will daily take my own pup for walks and make sure to spend quality time with her by playing with toys and giving her treats! I will follow any instructions I am giving about the personal care of each pet I am given the opportunity to meet!

“We booked Pam to stay with our dog while we went out of state for my stepdaughter's wedding after another sitter had to change plans due to surgery. Pam was wonderful! Raider is a weirdo and will refuse to warm up to sitters. Pam kept in constant communication letting me know how things were going and asking how she might get him to warm up. He often does not eat for my spouse and me so I wasn't surprised that he was not eating for her. Pam cooked bits of steak to put on his food twice (and offered to go buy one but we happened to have steak in the freezer) - which got him to eat after two days of refusing. Pam is very kind and really cares about the pets she sits. She also left our house spotless. It was especially wonderful to come home to clean sheets! I am very grateful Pam took such good care of Raider so we could enjoy the wedding festivities!”


“Jennifer was a ray of sunshine, energetic and bubbly. She was prompt, friendly and kind. She wore out our pup. We have already booked her again. Ty”


“Michelle is wonderful! Initially I hired her to stay in my house a few days with my 16.5 yr old dog, but unfortunately he passed away before the trip. Michelle helped change our agreement, and she looked in on our cat and house instead. Great communication and I knew my cat and house was in great hands!”


About: I’ve taken care of and loved dogs for over 50 years. Friends and family trust me with their fur babies when they need a hand. I currently work part time so I have a flexible schedule so I am able to assist on short notice whether that be for dog sitting or dog walking. I can walk your dog, hang out with them, give them treats and love. I’m also able to stay over if needed to make sure they are taken care of overnight. Reach out to me if you have any specifics or questions or questions, I’d be happy to help with any accommodations that would make you and your pet feel comfortable..

“I cannot say enough great things about Kamile! She did such an amazing job with our dog. She took time to get to know him and made sure to communicate any questions. She was polite and kind- she left our house in immaculate condition when she left. We were such at ease during our trip as she made sure to Give us updates and pictures! Our dog loved her and we cannot wait to use her services again.”


About: Quick note I don’t charge more if you have more than one animal in the house :) (rover won’t let me change it) With that being said, I have taken care of dogs and puppies ever since sixth grade. I have also grown up with medium size and large dogs my whole life. Throughout middle school, highschool, and college I have gained experience by volunteering at animal shelters. I have gotten to take care of dogs and cats with many different temperaments, some shy, some aggressive, but all equally deserving of love and patience. I also have practice walking strong pulling dogs and have worked at Camp Bow Wow for two years. This included breaking up dog fights, working with many different breeds, bathing and grooming the dogs, prepping meals, and multitasking. Petcare fits into my weekly routine because I am on summer break for the summer, home for college. I have been looking for a job that is flexible after I returned home from a month in Spain, and I love dogs and cats. I always ensure the safety of pets. I make sure I hold dogs’ leashes properly on walks and that sibling pets do not get too out of hand when it comes to playing. Furthermore, certain rooms will remain off limits, and I will ensure all doors will remain closed if requested. I will feed dogs or cats at the proper time and give them plenty of snuggles if they are comfortable with me :)

About: I’ve been caring for animals for 10 years, including dogs, cats, and small animals of all ages and temperaments. My experience ranges from daily walks and overnight care to administering medications and even helping with rescue animals. I’m calm, patient, and reliable—and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust, so I prioritize clear communication and consistency. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or structured care, I’ve got it covered! Let me know what makes your pet happiest, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because spending time with animals is one of the best parts of my day. I’m available weekday evenings and most weekends, with flexible timing to meet your pet’s needs. Whether it’s evening check-ins, dinner feedings, weekend walks, or overnight stays—I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space and the animal with the utmost respect. I follow your instructions closely—from feeding routines and medication schedules to favorite toys and hiding spots—so your pet’s daily rhythm stays consistent. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure before and after every visit, and I always check for any potential hazards like spilled food, open trash, or small items that could be chewed. I keep my visits calm and positive, and I communicate clearly with pet parents. My goal is to create a safe, low-stress environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for—even while you’re away.

About: Hi my name is Savanna and caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. With years of experience walking, playing with and feeding both dogs and cats, I truly understand what it takes to provide pets with love and attention they deserve. Having lived with dogs and cats for many years, I’m reliable, honest, trustworthy, and always punctual when it comes to their care. I currently live in Mokena with my own beloved dog, and I’m happy to assist nearby areas, including Tinley Park, Frankfort, New Lenox, Orland Park, Lockport, Homer Glen, and Manhattan, IL. I work full time, but my schedule varies, so I’m looking for someone who values flexibility just as much as I do. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding or companionship, I’m dedicated to ensuring pets feel happy and care for. If you’re looking for a dependable, kind and experienced pet caregiver, I’d love to help! My work schedule varies, but I’m looking for something flexible in the areas of Tinley Park, Frankfort, New Lenox, Orland Park, Lockport, Homer Glen and Manhattan, IL. If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring pet sitter, I’d love to help! Providing care for pets whether in my own home or at a clients house- requires a combination of attentiveness, patience, and a deep understanding of animals needs. Here’s how I can ensure pets receive excellent care in either setting. Understand their routine, respect their space, provide quality care, keep the home clean, monitor their health and behavior, build trust and comfort, and always stay in communication!

About: Hello, I have 8 years of experience being a pet owner. I love dogs and cats and will take care of yours like they are my own. I am a stay at home mom, so I have a pretty open schedule. I can do drop ins for your cat or dog. Each visit is typically 30 minutes, but you can choose an hour if needed. I will let your dog out, play with them and feed them if needed. For cats I will clean the litter, feed them and play if they are up for it 😉 I can also walk your dog as well. Let me know if you have any special instructions. I look forward to meeting you and your dog or cat. Thank you for considering me to care for your family member. My schedule is pretty open. I'm available most days and times. Let me know what you need and I'd be glad to help. Thank you. I will ensure that your pets are well taken care of in your home. I am very reliable and trustworthy. I would be glad to bring in mail or water plants if you are away.

About: Apart from pet sitting, I understand the importance of caring for other health needs such as well being and confidence. My dog requires extensive care for her skin allergies, food allergies, and neurological disorders, so I am fully accustomed to the maintenance that comes with caring for any pets needs! Since I have grown up having several dogs at once in my home, I have extensive training experience including dogs of all ages. Along with caring for my own pets, I have also spent many years caring for other pets within my neighborhood when their owner takes vacations. I’m currently working part-time as well as attending college full time, but I will have plenty of time in the early mornings/afternoons to walk your pet and meet all their required needs! Since my class schedule will be constantly changing, my availability will be constantly changing as well. As of right now my availability is: Mondays: 6am-11am Wednesdays: 6am-11am Fridays- 8am-1pm My schedule is expected to change and my availability will become more open starting December 15. In my home I give my dog Stella apoquel daily to help with her itching and skin allergies. She also gets pumpkin purée, oats, and hypoallergenic wet food to improve her digestion. She also has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder which requires me to watch and ideally prevent tick attacks or other triggers that deplete her physical and mental well being. My dog Sophie has two legs that were injured when she was a puppy which prevents her from high activity such as jumping or running. As her owner I try to prevent her from getting into taller cars, and limit her playtime outdoors. My other dog Shiloh is still a puppy, so she is currently in her training period. We practice daily training and other mind exercises to keep her on track. Most of all having all three dogs together is important. They are all inseparable (and spoiled) sisters that require a little more love than the average pup!

About: i’ve taken care of dogs ever since i was a little girl. i have had dogs all my life and i enjoy training them, walking them, and giving them the attention they need! i’m available to walk and care for your dogs during the week and can house sit during the weekends in your lovely home or mine. i have a fenced yard and friendly puppies that love to play and also love to sleep. i live in a safe and quiet neighborhood perfect for outside activities.
