Amanda was friendly, respectful of our home, took great care of our pets and was very communicative. She was also very flexible with our schedule. I would recommend her as a pet sitter to anyone.

Karen was everything we could hope for in a house sitter! Our two dogs loved her, she followed all of our instructions, sent updates, and kept our place in great shape. We will absolutely be using her again if she is available!

About: I have grown up with pets since I can remember. I have had pets ranging from cats and dogs to birds and my daughter even had a hedgehog. I currently have 3 dogs and 6 cat. I love animals. I have pet sat several times for friends, I even kept a friends 2 dogs for 3 weeks when she went on her trip to New Zealand. I have two years of professional pet sitting experience working with another company when I lived in Texas. I just recently moved from there. I recently moved from Texas to Illinois. I have open availability and hope to bring in a steady income once again pet sitting. I worked for a year as a professional pet sitter through a company in Texas. I can follow any routine with your pets in their own homes for their needs. I have the ability to stay overnight with them so that they are in the comfort of their own homes.

About: I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, and I always follow routines and instructions closely. I am currently at home for the summer from college and pet care fits easily into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day! I care for pets by following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning up after them. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for whether I’m in my home or my client’s home, and I always respect specific instructions provided by the owner.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I have had dogs since I was little, and always loved playing with them, taking them on walks, and giving them ALL the attention! I currently have two dogs (both of which, are incredibly spoiled), and they are my best friends! I am currently a student at OHS, but am available everyday after 2:30 p.m. I am completely available during the weekend, and would absolutely love to watch, and care for your furr babies! I have two friendly dogs, who will keep your pups company at all times! If needed, dogs can be easily crated. Your dogs will never not be entertained!

Nancy did a fantastic job caring for my dog and cat while my wife and I were out of town for a couple of days. She treated our boys like her own pets and made sure she understood all of their care details during our meet and greet. She's very communicative and sent us plenty of updates with photos while we were away. And, she was a great guest while she stayed at our home. I'll definitely be requesting Nancy to care for our pets in the future!

About: With over 15 years of experience caring for pets, and 2 years as a veterinary technician, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a genuine passion for animal care. Your furry friends will receive an abundance of love and attention, and I have plenty to spare! My main focus is on in-home drop-in care. There are so many reasons to need care for your pet while you’re away, and I am here to ensure that those needs are met with exceptional care. Whether you need care for a pet while you are out of town, or routine drop-in’s while you are at work - I am happy to help. I have experience with all ages, and specialize in seniors. I am fully trained in administering medicine (oral, topical, and injection). Don’t worry though if you have an energetic puppy or your dog isn’t a senior- I am just as eager and energetic to meet their unique needs as well! The earliest I offer check-ins is 7 am and the latest is 8 pm. New to Rover? Use code JESSID64590 to save $20 on your first Rover booking! Pet care is currently my main focus, and my availability tends to reflect that. I will do check-ins starting at 7 am until 8 pm, all week. My calendar on Rover is typically accurate with regards to the days I am available, though times are subject to change. During my drop-in visits, a client can expect me to provide one-on-one personalized care for their pet. Each pet is unique, and so each check-in is unique, however, a drop-in always includes at least a potty break or litter change, fresh water and food (if it's a scheduled feeding time), and play/walk/snuggle time. If your pet needs medication, I will certainly be happy to administer that as well.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life; big medium small. I have always been able to create connections with furry friends by giving them lots of love and attention. I’m very attentive when it comes to taking care of senior dogs and their needs. As well as being just as playful as puppies are. I’m currently on summer break before I go to college to become a pediatrician. This being said, my schedule is very available for a long while! For my dog at home, I treat her like family! I walk her daily, feed her twice a day, and give her snuggles and lots of love. I take her outside in the backyard about every hour in the fenced in backyard and she’ll run around and go nuts chasing her ball, and running after rabbits.

We cant find the words to express how grateful we were to have Jennifer watch our two furr babies, full blooded Labradors. We have never left our kids with anyone before, so it was a pleasure to have her in our home with the kids for 8 days and had not one worry! She sent us pictures and updates daily, which was wonderful to see how happy the kids were. Even with it being cold outside, she threw the ball for them and played with them. Not only did she take fantastic job watching our kids, she kept our home in tip top shape, and I have the worst case of OCD and I would have her back with no questions asked!!! If you want the VERY BEST, go with Jennifer, you will not be disappointed, worried or concerned about anything. She also did things in my house like vacuumed, mopping, and ran errands for me. She has the most upbeat personality and super likeable! We hit it off right off the bat.

About: Hello, my name is Angel and I’m excited to care for your cats and dogs! I have about 6 years of experience with cats, thanks to raising and caring for my own kitty, and 2 years of experience with dogs. While cats are my specialty, I’m also eager to continue building my dog care skills and I love spending time with pups of all ages, including puppies. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable with feeding, cleaning up after them, playing, and following any specific instructions you provide. If you book dog walking, I can take your pup on walks or even light jogs for exercise. I don’t currently drive, so I may use public transit or rideshare; this means arrival times can vary slightly. Meet and greets are required so your pet and I can get comfortable first! I am currently enrolled in hybrid and online college classes, which means I have almost full availability for bookings. My schedule is flexible unless otherwise stated in advance. I care for my own kitty with lots of love and attention, and I would do the same for your lovable fur baby. Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are always my top priorities when pet sitting.😊🤗

We got so lucky Justin was available for a last minute booking. Justin is very polite and professional as well as responsive. Our dog has been anxious when we traveled before but she did great being able to stay at our house with Justin. He was so kind to my kids at the meet and greet, took great care of our dog and home, and sent videos while we were gone. We highly recommend him and will be reaching out to him again next time we need a sitter. Thank you!

Sarah was an exceptional dog sitter while we traveled to Rome. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive and communicative, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She stayed in our home and cared for our dogs as if they were her own, attentive, loving, and dependable. We felt extremely comfortable knowing our home and our dogs were in such great hands. We would absolutely trust Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. 🐾✈️

We’ve worked with Mariola several times now, and she continues to be an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She stepped in on very short notice for our trip from November 6th–13th and took amazing care of our pups. She kept us updated with photos and great communication throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home after midnight to a clean house and even a freshly made bed — such a thoughtful touch. We’re so grateful for her reliability and kindness, and we highly recommend her!
