Pet Sitting Oak Park

“Mary is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She provided exceptional, top-tier service and was incredibly caring and responsible with our cat. It gave us total peace of mind knowing she was in such capable, loving hands. She is professional, trustworthy, and goes above and beyond. Highly, highly recommended!”

“Elizabeth took such good care of my cats while I was gone! She gave detailed updates with lots of pictures every visit! I could tell how comfortable the cats were with her and how much they enjoyed her company, which was very comforting to me while overseas in another country. I couldn’t recommend Elizabeth enough!”

About: I have good experience with pets. I also found out that I am pregnant and I am trying to pay for school and my future goals while being able to have a job at home taking care of animals. I am a college student and it is online right now. I can stay home work on school and take care of your loved one. I will make sure to take them out and also make them comfortable if they are staying overnight such as regular meals, fun walks, and hugs and playtime!

“Bayley was awesome with drop in visits for our dog! She took great care of her, especially responding to her fear of storms, which were plentiful while we were gone. She also quickly accepted our request to extend services after our return flight was cancelled. Highly recommended!”

About: Hi, I have been around animals of all different shapes and sizes my whole life. In addition to taking care of my own cat, I volunteer at the animal shelter to provide care and fostering. I would love to meet your furry friend! I recently completed my bachelor's degree at UCLA and relocated to Louisville to begin my professional career. Although I love pets, my lifestyle does not allow me to have a pet full-time. I will give the pets I care for maximal attention and energy. I think it is most important when a dog/cat is in a new environment or in one with new people is to make them feel comfortable and safe. In order to insure this I would spend time with the dog/cat and owner before I care for them on my own

About: My love for dogs started in third grade when I wrote a persuasive essay to my parents about why I want a dog. I grew up with two mini Australian Shepherds (yes, because of my essay) and to this day, my enthusiasm for dogs still grows. I work full time in the office. I can accommodate check ins and walks in the evenings Monday - Friday. Depending on location, I can also check in before work. Before I come take care of your dog, I will make sure that any of your questions and concerns are answered as well as any questions I may have.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters? I’ve mastered the art of negotiating with high-energy working breeds, outsmarting stubborn puppies, and serving as a certified head-scratcher for gentle seniors who just want to nap in peace. With plenty of foster and rescue experience under my belt, I speak fluent dog body language, respect the sacred mid-afternoon nap, and strictly enforce the "Cheese Tax" (within dietary guidelines, of course). Whether your pup needs strict medication routines, structured outlets for their relentless zoomies, or just a professional belly-rub technician while you’re away, I guarantee they’ll be living their absolute best life—and sending you endless photo updates to prove it! As a teacher, my days run on a structured, predictable routine that pets thrive on! Before school, your pup gets an early morning walk and breakfast; after the last bell rings, my full attention is theirs for afternoon adventures, play, and cozy evening snuggles. Being organized, patient, and used to managing full classrooms means your pet will get seamless, attentive care, clear boundaries, and a reliable schedule every single day. Whether in my home or yours, your pet gets the royal treatment—and a temporary promotion to favorite family member! In my home, they’ll enjoy structured play, designated couch-snagging spots, and endless affection. In your home, I keep their exact routine intact, following feeding schedules to the letter, sticking to their favorite walking paths, and making sure the house stays neat. Either way, expect strict safety, zero missed meals, and enough goofy photo updates to fill your camera roll while you're away!

About: What started off as a favor for a friend turned into a genuine love for all pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand the guilt and sadness that comes with leaving your fur baby with a stranger, so it is my mission to make sure that the owner as well as the pet feel comfortable enough to put their trust in me. I am a student with a part time job. I have available time for any animal with any need. Evenings or even night walks are perfect. Boundaries are important, not only for the owner before the pet as well. That is always my top priority. As well as treating a pet as my own.

About: Having grown up and worked on a farm until moving to Louisville four years ago, I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and other fowl. Along with providing routine daily care, I am experienced in handling basic needs across various levels of veterinary emergencies. While I am currently enjoying my time in grad school, I truly miss being around animals every day and would love the opportunity to care for yours! I'm a full-time grad student, my schedule allows me time in the morning, in the evenings and throughout the weekend to look after your pet. I can be flexible and am open to talking and finding a time that can work for both of us! While I have much experience with animals, I do recognize that everyone has different needs. I'm looking forward to meeting each animal and learning about their individual personalities as well as their needs. I promise to communicate as openly as possible to bring as much peace of mind as I can while you are away from your pet and your home. I understand that there is a level of trust that comes with having someone new in your home, so I am open to answering any questions you may have so that this can be a smooth and comfortable process for both of us.

About: I am a veterinary nurse, I am able to administer medications as prescribed. I am able to spot early issues during dog walking or pet sitting. I work strictly weekends, but I am here for you if you need to go out of town during the week or need someone to walk your pet during your work hours I feel like pets do better in their own home, I will lfollow feeding instructions, make sure they are played with and taken care of.

About: As a pet mom who's been using Rover since 2020, I've met all kinds of pet sitters and learned about their different pet care styles. Being on the other side of things, I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pets with unfamiliar people. I want to help other pet families feel comfortable knowing their babies are in good hands! I grew up with dogs for most of my life and currently have a dog named Ivan and a cat of my own named Francis. I've always been a huge animal lover and a major empath, especially when it comes to animals. I'm even vegan, if that tells you anything! If I had it my way, I'd probably have a house full of animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routines. I genuinely love getting to know animals and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. I promise to treat your babies with the same patience, attention, and care I give my own! I'm currently a college student with a pretty short work schedule from 2:45 PM to 5:30 PM, Monday through Thursday. I'm a major homebody who enjoys watching movies, playing board games, and reading books, so I spend most of my time at home. This allows me to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day without having to worry about them being alone for long periods of time. I'm a very routine based pet owner. I follow consistent feeding times, wash my pets' bowls twice a day, and make sure they get plenty of playtime and attention. I'm more than happy to follow whatever routine your pets are used to! As someone who has used Rover for years, I personally love receiving lots of pictures and updates of what my dog, Ivan, is doing during his stay. I know how reassuring it is to see that your pets are happy, comfortable, and being well taken care of. I also understand how important it is to keep a safe environment, whether that's making sure food is put away, keeping things out of reach, or simply paying attention to what your pets are getting into. I promise to respect your home, follow your instructions, and care for your babies as if they were my own!

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart and have been a huge passion of mine growing up. I am caring, trusting, and dependable and will provide the best personal care to fit your dog, cats, or exotics needs. My experience with both dogs and cats has stemmed as a far back to pet sitting and dog walking in my neighborhood, to volunteering at the humane society through my teens. My work experience includes working at a humane society and county shelter. I also have years of experience working at dog boarding and daycare facilities. Along with some background working at an animal hospital. These all allowed me to get familiar with all sizes, personalities, and needs. I am comfortable and have been around puppies of all ages! I also am familiar with dogs with special needs and am able to administer medication. I also recently just became Pet CPR and first aid certified. Besides my experience in care for cats and dogs, I have some prior knowledge for caring with reptiles and ferrets. It’s always rewarding and important to provide the best care possible and most importantly make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and comfortable. Currently I am a very open and flexible with my schedule to cater to different situations and provide the highest care possible for your individual pets needs. I do my best and strive to stick with your pets schedule and routine. I provide drop in visits that includes multiple times a day or staying in home to ensure the best care for your companion. *Special/specific needs may include an increase fee in service.

“Valerie took great care of my senior pup, EZ. Will definitely be calling on her again to drop in on him.”

About: I grew up with multiple pets, we often called it the "Cook Family Zoo". I've helped take care of many cats, dogs, turtles, fish and even ferrets at one point! I currently have two dogs a terrier/cattle dog mix and a German shepherd/lab mix puppy! They both are rescues and love to cuddle. I volunteer with a local dog rescue and am a proud foster fail. :) I’m passionate about protecting all furry friends and finding the perfect home for each loving animal. I love all animals, big or small, and do my best to be flexible and communicate with you quickly and thoroughly. I hope you will consider me to help take care of your loved ones and I will be sure to give them lots of love while you're away. Currently working full time but have availability on weekends and most evenings to help out! I also have flexibility at work so depending on your needs can make drop in visits and walks during the day. I work from home occasionally too so I can usually be flexible as needed. If visiting your home I would respect your wishes around routine training, diet and behavior. I typically provide photos and/or text updates of your pet so you know they’re doing well and we’ll looked after even when you’re not able to be there!

About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs for years. In my entire family, we have many dogs and cats, each with all kinds of quirky traits, and they've all ended up loving me while also feeling well taken care of! I have a very flexible schedule, so it definitely has become a part of my life!

About: I own my own dog, who is well trained, along with caring for neighbors dogs, and training. I have puppy sat at my own home for multiple nights. In my free time I watch a lot of dog training videos and love to do animal research. I enjoy cats while I do have limited experience.

I am really good with communication, and respond frequently and in a timely manner, and I am relatively flexible with timing if need be.

“Jacqueline was amazing! She fit me in on a super short notice when I took an unplanned day trip. She was extremely communicative and kind, and even offered to do extra tasks that I hadn’t asked of her.”
