About: I’ve had animals ever since I was born, ranging from cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, birds, turtles.. And since I was young I helped care for them! Once I hit my pre-teen years I began volunteering at animal shelters, helping with animals of all kinds! I once even held a fundraiser in middle school for a local shelter who needed help gathering supplies for their pets. I have experience with animals who need medications or have special needs! I personally have a small elderly chihuahua, a calm fluffy cat, a young playful kitten. I’m currently a college student focusing on my education, so I have plenty of time to assist you with all your pet care needs! I’ll be available to help with your fur babies for as long as you need me to! I do offer services within my own home! I have a small chihuahua, a friendly cat, a small kitten, and a child under my roof as well. But, animal safety is my number one priority! I’ve taught my step daughter the utmost of respect towards animals! I can also keep my pets separate from yours if needed!

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life because I grew up on a farm and my mother is a teacher with classroom pets! I have two kitties and a hedgehog! I’ve taken care of everything from cats, dogs, rats, bunnies, reptiles and more! I have a full time job but I still have plenty of time on my hands! I would love to invest my time into caring for your pet(s) when your life gets a little too crazy! I have a large yard, unfortunately with no fence, but we’d be able to use it anytime. I have two cats of my own who are shy, so I’m not worried about them causing any trouble with your fur babies. I live in a part of town that is quiet and would be the perfect setting to take your dog on a walk!

About: I’ve got experience coming out the wazoo. I adopted my first puppy when I was 5 years old and have always had 3 cats at home growing up. Now on my own I run my house the same way with all the love crammed in. I work full time but I have a job that allows for some flexibility when needed and a family at home. But I love the chance to make some extra money after work caring for animals. I’m very good at following directions and have a natural ability to understand animals and what they need and want. Very good at learning new environments.

Dixon, IL, 61021

About: I’ve taken care of many animals for some time now whether it be lizards, cats, dogs, or fish. Family and friends could always put their trust in me when I take care of their pets. I own a cat so I take care of him daily, feed him twice a day, give him toys, bathe him ever so often (depending if he goes outside), brush him because he has long fur. So he fits right in with my schedule and I give him cuddles all the time! I care for my pet everyday! I feed him twice a day ( morning and night) maybe a few treats, I’ll bathe him when needed but not too often cause it hurts their fur coat, clip his nails when needed, brush him just about everyday. I will especially give him cuddles whenever I see him!

Promise did an outstanding job. Great communication that made you feel comfortable and she shared updates everyday with pictures. If you have a question she responds quickly. Upon returning home Promise left our home perfectly clean and in order. I trust her she’s an outstanding reliable loving dog sitter. Most of all our dogs loved her. I would recommend her to everyone. She is always welcome here.

About: I have always had a special connection with animals, dogs especially, and grown up being called an animal whisper. Ive had dogs of all ages my whole life. I have experience with puppies, adults and senior dog care. Currently learning more and more about training dogs and using thoes techniques on my husky mix. Im all for giving your furry friends the care they deserve❤️I dont have any cats! I am currently working at an Assisted Living and Memory Care Facility in Yorkville and my shift is 6am-2pm. My schedule changes every other week. Although my boyfriend works the 3pm-11pm shift so someone is home most of the time. I am not totally free but I would be willing to work something out! My house has a front and back yard-not too big. We use a tie out for our dog and we have a few extras if needed for your dog! Me and my boyfriend live in a two bedroom duplex. Most areas of the house is dog proofed and we have plenty of toys for both to play with. My dog does really good with other dogs and loves to have company and a friend to play with. He is still younger so he can be hyper at first but will eventually calm down:)

Kayla was incredible with my 3 pups! They love her. She was such an exceptional house guest and I will definitely be utilizing her again if I go out of town! I'd give Kayla a million stars if I could!

Kayla was wonderful from the first interaction (showing interest in the dates we'd be gone) to the last. This is our second time using Rover and again we were thrilled by the pet sitter we worked with. I highly recommend Kayla to potential pet owners who need sitting in their home. I'll be using her again I'm sure too !
