About: I have been raised with a pet by side. When I have born we had two brittany spaniels that have since passed on. In 8th grade, after they passed, we adopted another puppy brittany. A year later, we adopted another, to have our current pair of brittanys. So I have experience raising puppies as well. I play with them outdoors and indoors, brush them, clean up their poop, bath them, feed them, and train them. They also get taken on walks at the local forest preserve for stimulation. I have experience in caring for fish and snakes. Between dogs, I had my cat to keep me company. She is solely my cat, so she got the same attention as the dogs, plus I bought her toys, treats, litter, and food. Outside of my dogs I have pet sit goldens labs, goldendoodles, springer spaniels, and many other breeds. As in my headline, I don't think any animal is low maintenance. That just means the pet isn't getting the care it deserves. I had my cat at my dorm first semester, and I fed her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I made sure to play with twice a day and we played birds on the tv for stimulation as well. I had a weekly schedule to brush her twice a week, and clean the litter box every Sunday and Wednesday. At home I would alternate playing with my dogs, training, and brushing them whenever possible. I can play indoors and outdoors. I can take the animal for walks. Clean up any potential messes, such as muddy dogs or if a cat has a hairball. I can accompany senior pets that need help eating. I can brush the animal. And feed them, and do basic training.
About: I’ve taken care of small dogs, medium dogs, kittens, parrots, and farm animals since 2015. I was also able to pet sit while studying abroad in Australia. I am now employed full-time, but it is standard business hours, so I am able to work around them for visits, walking, and boarding. I have two cats in addition to my dog and they are well acclimated to each other and friendly to other animals. Safety is important, leads only come off in-doors or inside fenced in areas. Pets are handled with care and I am always mindful of their comfort in various environments.

About: I grew up with having a dog around the house, so I have always loved being around pets. The last two summers I have pet sat for families while they were on vacation.

I look forward to working and taking care of your pet! During the summer I have more availability outside of when I am on vacation. For house sitting services, I am happy to provide overnight care for your pet.

I am a full time teacher so once the school year starts my availability will change. I will not be able to provide pet care in my home. But I can provide pet care in a clients home.

“Amanda goes above and beyond with every walk! My dog is crazy so getting photos of him is tough. She brought her real camera along to snag a picture for me in sport mode. Cannot recommend her enough!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, so pet care comes naturally to me. Growing up, we always had pets in the home, and I’ve continued that same love and responsibility into adulthood. I also help care for my sister’s crew of seven+ animals, which has given me hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. In addition to my lifelong experience, I’ve also worked on Rover for three years, providing reliable and loving care to many pets. Your fur baby will always be treated like family with me. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and am home the majority of the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, supervision, and plenty of playtime. I’m available for walks, outdoor time, and any specific care your pet may need throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home offers a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to relax and roam. I provide secure supervision, regular outdoor breaks, and a calm, loving atmosphere. Whether at my home or yours, I make sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and welcomed.
About: If your pet loves belly rubs, adventure walks, playtime, or just having a new best friend to hang out with, we’ll get along great! 🐾 I’ve had dogs basically my whole life and have cared for pups of all breeds, sizes, personalities, and dietary needs (currently with my own doodle and Aussie mix with food sensitivities). Whether your dog is a zoomies champion or a professional couch potato, I’m happy to match their energy and make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. I’m also the proud parent of two very spoiled black tuxedo cats, so I know cats are the ones who really run the house. 😸 I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, enrichment, and respecting every cat’s unique personality—whether they want endless playtime or prefer to supervise me from across the room. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, with plenty of love, patience, treats (if allowed!), cuddles, and attention. My goal is for your pets to have just as much fun on their staycation as you do on your vacation! ❤️🐶🐱 Im currently working full-time and am looking for some extra babies for me to love on! I have a good support system to help me with my own fur babies and I’d like to be that support for you! Let’s connect! I cannot board in my home as I live in a multi-animal home with five fur babies. However, I can provide care in your home and can follow instructions left by you in order to take care of your fur baby.
About: I take pride in providing thoughtful, reliable care that’s tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether your pet is playful and full of energy or prefers a quieter pace, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m confident handling everything from daily walks to administering medications when needed. You can expect clear communication, dependable service, and lots of love and attention for your pet—just like you’d give them yourself. Right now, I’m in the process of looking for a new job, so I have plenty of free time and a very flexible schedule. That means I’m able to give your pet my full attention and adapt to their needs—whether that’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening companionship. In my home, pets have a safe, calm environment where they’re treated like family. I have one friendly dog who enjoys the company of other dogs, and we have a fully fenced-in yard that allows for plenty of supervised outdoor time and play. I make sure visiting pets feel comfortable by sticking to their routine as much as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or quiet time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect your space and your pet’s routine. I follow any specific instructions closely, keep the environment tidy, and make sure your pet feels secure and well-loved while you’re away. Communication is important to me, so I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is doing great.
About: I would say that I’m a fairly laid back person who loves all animals and enjoys getting to know them and discovering their different personalities. They’re kind of like excited toddlers in that way. Each having their own unique personalities and needs. I’d love to have pets of my own one day and until then am excited to help others care for their own 🤍✨ I’m currently working as a baker in one of the local hospitals so my mornings are fairly limited. However I available for some early afternoon or late evening love from your pups! I’m also using this as an opportunity to see if I’ll be ready for a pet companion of my own in the near future as I’m still figuring this life and adulthood thing out! I currently live in a townhome with a small back patio; while I do offer boarding services, I’ve found that pets tend to be more at ease in their own homes more often than not.
About: I've owned, trained and cared for dogs since I was little. I have experience with administering medications and making it as pleasant as possible. I also have some experience with basic grooming and love to brush out long haired dogs to help with shedding. I have a pup of my own that can be high energy but loves other dogs and can’t wait to play with your pup. I work from home so I am free to help out any time of day. I can be flexible on hours and usually I am able to go on short notice. I will spend time with your dog so they get the attention they need. I can take your good girl or boy to the dog park, on runs with me, or anything else that your furry family member enjoys. My dog loves all other dogs and can’t wait to play with yours. I have a large fully fenced backyard that is great to play and have fun.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
