Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Niles

About: I’ve been lucky to care for dogs, cats, and bunnies through every stage of life, from playful puppies and kittens to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve also pet sat for others for extended periods of time, including 4 to 6 weeks at a time, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets and home in someone else’s hands. I care for each pet like they’re part of my own family. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and comfort level so they feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, all dog sizes, and pets who need medication or a little extra attention. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and cautious, cuddly, independent, or in their senior years, I’ll meet them where they are with patience, kindness, and lots of love. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and never alone. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I’m happy to make time for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting based on your pet’s needs. I understand how important consistency is, so I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and companionship. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable and connected while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I know it can feel stressful to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I do everything I can to make the experience as smooth and reassuring as possible for both you and your pet. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. Whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, litter box care, cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure their needs are met with patience and attention. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, and keeping their routine familiar helps them feel secure while you’re away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. Some pets love lots of interaction and play, while others prefer a calmer approach and need time to build trust. I’m happy to adapt my care to what makes your pet feel most comfortable and relaxed. Safety is extremely important to me. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, harnesses, and home access, and I always double-check that pets are secure before entering or leaving the home. I also pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or anything else that may be important, and I’ll communicate with you promptly if I notice any concerns. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care that I would want someone to show my own. You can also expect regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is for you to return to a happy, comfortable pet and have complete peace of mind knowing they were cared for with kindness, responsibility, and genuine affection.

About: Our own furbabies are reactive so I definitely know the struggles of finding someone who understands! I’ve learned a lot of knowledge from our trainer and am very detail oriented/structured when it comes to providing care! I currently work full time but am looking for another source of income when I am free! I am a teacher so I have breaks off when the children do, and have plenty of weekends off as well for date nights, vacations, etc! I only provide pet care in clients home, as boarding in my own home would cause stress to our reactive dogs. Open to learning and sticking to your schedule as much as possible so your furbaby doesn’t experience too much of a drastic change without you there!

About: Hi, I'm Jacob! I'm a 22-year-old college student and former collegiate soccer player with a passion for dogs. I have two dogs of my own and helped raise and train my Bernedoodle from puppyhood, giving me plenty of hands-on experience with puppies and dogs of all ages. I also assist my girlfriend, an active Rover dog walker, on many of her walks and pet care visits. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, playtime, or extra attention, I'll treat them like they're my own and make sure they receive safe, reliable, and loving care. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. Between caring for my own dogs and assisting with Rover walks and visits, pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or extra attention, I'm committed to making sure they get the care and exercise they need. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and have personally trained my Bernedoodle since puppyhood, giving me a strong understanding of dog behavior and routines. I follow all owner instructions carefully, provide plenty of exercise and attention, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for whether in their home or on a walk.

“Andy stopped by and fed and walked our dog for us while we were out for an evening. He followed instructions and sent lots of photos as well as an update!”

“Jen has watched our cats a couple of times now, and we trust her completely. Even for quick drop-in visits, she’s reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. Each of our cats has a different personality, and Jen is attentive to all of them making sure everyone is fed, safe, and getting individual attention. We came home to relaxed, well cared for cats and a clean space, which says everything. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”

“Tianying was thoughtful and communicative and shared lots of updates with us when she came to check in on our cats, even though coco was hiding!”

“Jessica was so amazing. I had to request her very last minute due to a family emergency. She is an excellent communicator, she is reliable, and very pleasant. She went above and beyond what I could have asked for while watching my boy cat. I’m so happy and will definitely be requesting Jessica in the future. She even took in packages for me I didn’t even ask but was so grateful she did due to the mail theft in the area.”

“RJ is a pro. Asks very pointed questions beforehand and communicates very clearly. Provides you with clear updates before, during, and after. 👍👍👍”

About: Hi! Thank you for taking the time to get to know me and considering me for your pets needs! I'm a 23 years college student who loves animals and enjoys spending time with them. I understand the importance of keeping your furry friend active and happy. Growing up, I have always been surrounded by many animals, from birds, snakes, reptiles - cats and dogs of course! I'm responsible and dedicated to providing the best care for your pet. I will put your pets needs first! If there is anything I should know while I care for your pet please let me know, big or small it’s important. I am very new to dog walking and services. Your patience is very much appreciated since I am going to school and working part time! Feel free to reach out to schedule a walk or ask any questions. Currently working part time and going to school so I am available mostly during the week. Late afternoon or mid mornings work best but I am flexible! I live in an apartment and I have a friendly dog and cat. My dog is friendly so your furry baby has someone to keep him company during walks if you would like!

About: I have had pets all my life since I was 2 years old. I have loved all of them with all my heart and soul and treated them as valued family members. I believe that pets make the house a home. Pet care is more than just a chore. It's an honor to do so and make our furry friends feel loved. While I look for my next corporate role, I have plenty of time to take care of your pet's needs. I like to build a strong rapport with the dogs and cats I care for. I would be happy to walk them on any route, feed them, and handle any other pet-related tasks. If we have a set of requests that your little one needs, I'd be happy to help take care of these as well.

“Stephen has been an amazing help for us and our cat babies. Very reliable, respectful of me and my home. I definitely recommend him for your fur babies. He is very easy to connect with and reach out to while away.”

“I felt very comfortable going away and leaving my pets in Aurora’s care. She is very attentive to my pets needs and always gave extra loves. I really appreciate her communications messages to provide updates. This was my second time using Aurora and won’t be my last. I would highly recommend her if you want the best care for your pet while you are away.”

“Our dog Mochi had a great time with Alexis! Alexis was able to drop in to check on Mochi and took her for a walk. She looked really happy from the pictures we got! We would definitely use Alexis again :)”

About: I've walked and fed both my sister's and friend's dogs for the last few years. Been going to the dog park interact w/different breeds of dogs to get used to each of there own quirks and personalities. I work full-time so I can take care of your dogs on the weekends. Some Holidays i should be free, just have to give me heads up. I am available on weekends after 11am I offer care and company for your dogs. I can be an "uncle" for them, when their parents are not home. Essentials such as food water, toys bathroom etc. always kept in mind!

“Paige was extremely communicative, reliable and amazing! She sent update pictures for every visit and assured me that my pet bunny Luna was happy, healthy and well cared for. I was worried since most people don't have much experience with bunnies, but Paige asked thorough questions to make sure she cared for Luna in the best way possible. Would extremely recommend her!”

About: I have provided care to senior cats since I was in high school, and the owners invited me back for years to feed them, clean up after them, and give them medicine. I have also owned pets since I was a child and am no stranger to messes or overly energetic pets. I trained my own dog when she was a puppy and was the most successful in getting her to learn basic commands and simple tricks. I have also taken care of plants and general house maintenance. I currently work from 8AM to 4:30PM, Tuesday through Saturday, and am otherwise completely free and happy to take care of pets, plants, houses, and more. I am clean, timely, and consistent, and have had ten years of experience tending to pets that were not my own. I am attentive to instructions given by the owner and the needs of the pets in question. I care immensely about their wellbeing and am focused on making everyone's experience pleasant!

“Kaila was fantastic with my 2 cats. She took her time to get to know them and even convinced the shy one to come out! I would happily book again.”

Madi J.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud dog mom to a 11-year-old Chihuahua mix (Moocow) and an 8-year-old Husky(Maya). I previously hosted on Rover but took a two-year hiatus to focus entirely on Maya’s recovery following a major lung surgery. Now that she is healthy, I am thrilled to open my home to guest pups again! ​Working from home five days a week allows me to provide 100% supervision and companionship. Because Moocow is slowing down, Maya is looking for new playmates! It’s the perfect setup: your dog gets a built-in best friend for exercise and socialization, and I get to provide the high-quality care every pup deserves. ​Whether your dog is a high-energy athlete like Maya or a relaxed senior like Moocow, I have the experience and the heart to make them feel right at home. I am currently working full-time but I work from home 5 days a week. I can provide services such as boarding, day care, and walks. We live in a spacious 1,200 sq. ft. apartment with a secure, fenced-in patio. We’re big on walks here, usually 3 to 4 times a day for about 20–30 minutes each. If the weather is nice and not too toasty for those paws, we love to stay out even longer to explore!

“Great with animals. Punctual and communicative.”
