Dog Sitting in O'Fallon

“Mal did a great job taking care of our four cats! She was responsive, spent extra time there, was able to give our fiesty cat her medication, and went above and beyond keeping everything clean and giving us updates! We will definitely book with her again!”

“Responsible and reliable! I would definitely recommend Libby to help out with your pets! She is s true animal person.”

“Nicole was available on a days notice and despite being anxious about the drop ins because she and my dog had never met, she kept me informed during drop ins which helped ease my anxiety. Definitely plan to use her in the future.”

About: (I prefer to go by Rori) Before my kennel experience, I have watched over many neighbors dogs over the years! They bring me so much joy, having a dog in my life is a must! And, if I cannot have one myself, at least I can bring joy into another’s dogs lives while their owner is gone!!! Having worked at a boarding kennel and rescue for nearly 2 years now, I have spent a large amount of my pet care experience dealing with dogs at their most vulnerable. Because of this, I am very familiar with how to comfort and care for many different dog temperaments and breeds! I know how to respect their boundaries and keep your pets at as much ease as I can bring them :) Because of my boarding experience, I have worked with puppies under a year old, and senior dogs of all kinds of breeds. I understand how to accommodate and console older dogs: with lots of love and patience. I have encountered dogs who are aggressive in many forms: from people and/or dog aggressive to barrier and fence aggressive. I’ve handled dogs that react to nerves in various manners whether it be scared and cowering or more disagreeable. While I do not anticipate this behavior to be as extreme as what I saw in a kennel environment (where everything is new and abnormal) I do think this experience allows me to be adept at handling dogs through all their stages and kinds of discomfort. While at the kennel, I was also tasked with caring for our rescues. Housing 5-10 rescues at a time, I became very familiar with how to care for and bond with so many dogs. Taking the time to truly know and understand these rescues is my absolute favorite thing about working at the kennel! I have trained these dogs and made a point of learning how to handle even the most difficult of our rescues!! Socializing these dogs, helping them find peace and consistency in an otherwise chaotic environment fills me with purpose. I love them. I have so much love for these animals that I can’t possibly contain it!!! So, I would like to share it :) Having just moved to Illinois, I am available and willing to work anytime on weekdays until 4 PM to walk, watch and play with your fur babies!! I can work weekends sometimes :) I LOVE walking dogs!!! I’m happy to take them with me on walks in my neighborhood, your neighborhood, or to various parks!! Feeding, playing, and engaging with these sweet animals is something I am more than familiar with doing having taken care of the kennel dogs for so long now.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my love for animals and my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages. Growing up, my family had two dogs, so I have cared for pets through every stage of life, from puppies to senior dogs. After caring for both, I gained valuable experience in dog walking and watching. Overall, I am confident that I can adapt to each dog’s individual needs. I am also very reliable and great at communicating. I will make it a priority to updates the parents with messages and even photos. I am currently a college-athlete, so during the school year, I do have to dedicate time each day for class and practice. However, I want to make time for this because I really enjoy spending time with animals. Since I can not be with my own, pet walking/sitting is the perfect opportunity! When I care for a pet in a client’s home, I would follow their routine as closely as possible so that their pet feels comfortable. For dog walks, I would make sure to match the dog’s energy level and needs. As for their safety, I am always alert and off my phone so that they have my full attention.

“Rachel was so sweet and kind. She seems very reliable and made me feel very comfortable knowing Karma would be taken of with her. Will definitely reach out again ❤️🐾❤️”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life. You can rest assured your pups, big and small, will get all the love and attention while you’re away. I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday, but have three pups of my own at home and can board additional pups overnight during the week and can do daytime walks on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and keep your pets separated from my household pets unless they are long-time visitors and we know everyone gets along well.

“Lauren was super friendly and our dogs love her. Great experience!”

About: I am a passionate dog and cat caregiver. In the past, I have had a couple of rescue dogs and have lived with several cats over the years. Family and friends have relied on me to pet sit, take their pets for walks and administer medication. Others: I also have work experience with cats, rabbits, and farm animals. With my schedule, I am available for walks and drop ins after 4pm, Monday through Friday. On the weekends, I am available from 8am until 9pm. I am able to care for you pet in your home safely. I will follow your instructions and will make sure your pet is happy, safe, and comfortable before I leave my visit. Photos and updates will be sent after each visit/walk. I will communicate any concerns or changes in your pets behavior if needed.

About: Please use my promo code… https://www.rover.com/sit/rosal48641 I have a Great Pyrenees and am used to large dogs and no issue handling smaller pets as well. I periodically watch pets for friends and family. Distance and time are very flexible most days. Let me know if you need assistance and I can find a way to make it work. Periodic walks are necessary for pets of all sizes and for humans as well. :) Favorite part of my day with my Pyrenees is long walks and sunshine.

About: I have been dogsitting for two and a half years dog. I have watched various breeds and ages. I also have experience with fosters and elderly dogs. I am pretty flexible. I do dogsit two to three times a week for a family friend from 11-12 but that is pretty much it. I would prefer to care for your pets at your home. One of my dogs has back issues and we cannot risk her getting injured.

“This was our first time using Rover and we are VERY pleased with Julia! We met so she could meet our dogs and we were impressed. We had her scheduled for 2 drop ins and she did a great job! She was very sweet to our pups and did everything we asked her to do. She communicated well with pictures and notes and sent a text if she had any questions. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Amy was amazing with updates and making sure our kitties were well looked after. I would definitely use her again. Might add our doggies next time since we were so happy!!!”

“Nick did an amazing job watching my dogs while I was away. He is very knowledgeable about taking care of dogs and that out my mind at ease when I was out of town. When I came home, my dogs and cat were completely calm as if I had only been gone for a few minutes instead of a few days.”

Eric H.

“Hazel is always so amazing with our two kitties. The thorough updates and pictures each visit helps so much when I’m feeling guilty for leaving them.. especially when I see how many treats they are getting. We have a very fast eater who will try to steal the other’s wet food, and Hazel sits with them to make sure meal time is fair. Play time is really important for our brother/sister pair and her visits with them are always action packed. I’ve been using Rover for years and can say she has been the best drop-in sitter I’ve ever had. Thank you Hazel!”

Kaitlyn K.

“Thank you so much for dropping in on Coogs!”

About: I’ve had a pet dog before and he was well taken care of up until his passing. Would love some company when I’m not working. I currently work in the military and I’m off every other weekend. When I am off I am just home not doing anything but gaming. My home is fenced in and I live in a very nice neighborhood where your fur baby can feel safe and be watched after every night he is watched.

About: I have my own dog who is 6 years old. I am in between jobs as a Nurse Practitioner looking to make some extra money while giving some pups extra love and exercise! I am in between jobs right now so I have a lot of free time to care for your pups! I am available most days & times. I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have my own dog now. I love animals and your pup will be in good hands.

“Alana was fantastic - communicated well, was thorough, and took good care of our cat Eska. Would definitely hire again.”
