“Hope was simply amazing. She is very sweet and came over ahead of time to learn the ropes. She wanted to know where my kitties hid so she could find them and get pics for me. She made sure they had food and water and cleaned their litter boxes. I would recommend Hope to anyone at anytime.”

“Came through for us when an emergency arose. She logged each dogs activities and took some pictures of them playing. I will definitely hire her again!”

About: I have been a Petco certified dog trainer since I was 18 and have dog/house sat many times since! I treat your dog like family and your home with respect! I am flexible! I am available Mondays and Thursdays all day. Saturdays I get off work at 2:00pm I work 9-5 during the rest of the days of the week. But I always need an excuse to use PTO so watching your fur baby won’t be problem! I just need a two week notice Quality time will be spent with your fur baby to make sure they keep busy. Plenty of playtime and mental stimulation. I love using puzzle toys, snuffles and other things to get a dogs mind working!

“Alyssa took really great care of our two dogs in our house. We were out of town for the weekend. She is a great communicator, showed up exactly when she said she would and always left us feedback on the visit and photos. She is super fast responding to messages. Our dogs really love her and she took great care of them. My beagle has two medications he takes twice and day and I felt very confident leaving him in her care. She went above and beyond with our fur babies and we will definitely be booking her for the future. She is attentive and responsible. This is the first time we have used Rover and we feel lucky to have found Alyssa!”

About: I have taken care and self trained dogs from small to large breeds. And I would love to take care of your pup while your away. I am always home on the weekend and home by 12 or sooner on the week day. Your pup is not going to be left alone. My partner works from home and is all in on helping make sure your fur baby has a happy safe time here. I have a fenced is yard. So we can play outside for a little bit plenty of water and a baby pool if they want to cool off.

“Paige is great! She did drop in visits for our two cats and took lots of photos which I love! Will definitely call her up again the next time we go on vacation!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have done sitting on the side for family and friends. I have raised my dogs from puppies to now they are 15 and 10 I also got a kitten about a year ago and she’s been enjoying the ride ever since! I am currently in college. I am planning on getting another part time job so I will be sure to communicate with my clients the schedule for that. I take care of my own pets everyday and would love to add yours too. I have grown up with animals my whole life so their routine is my routine. I believe that we owe it to our pets to make sure their needs are met and that they are happy.

“I love being able to always count on Deanne to follow through on her commitments. I was gone for 11 hours and it felt wonderful knowing my dogs would be let out. I appreciate the cute photos she sends too and how the app tells you when she came and left.”

Kristin H.

“Delaney has been so wonderful to work with! She is very reliable, trustworthy, and flexible! She does a great job communicating with us and she is so good to our dogs! I would highly recommend!”

Catherine H.

“Brianna took amazing care of my 3 kitties. They absolutely loved her. Her communication was excellent and my cats barely noticed I was even gone. She did the cutest arts and crafts projects with them, brushed them, took out the trash and left my place spotless (other than the amazing arts and crafts I came home to.) All of my instructions were followed perfectly, she never left any trash behind, and brought so many treats and toys for the kitties! She came to meet the kitties ahead of time and bonded with them so fast. I would trust Brianna with my cats in a heartbeat and I don’t even trust my parents with them.”

About: "I go above and beyond to create a personalized experience for every pet, ensuring they feel loved and comfortable while you're away. With my attention to detail, reliable communication, and passion for animals, I treat your pets like family." "Pet care is a natural part of my routine—I’m flexible and prioritize it by scheduling walks, playtime, and check-ins around my day. I make sure your pet’s needs are met, whether it’s feeding, exercise, or simply providing companionship, so they feel cared for even when you're not home." "I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and care. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding and medication to sticking to familiar routines, so your pet feels safe and comfortable. I also make sure to keep your home clean and secure, giving you peace of mind while you’re away."

“Sherrie was a Godsend and has such a pleasant energy! She dropped in on Bella for me at the very last minute and I truly appreciated it. I don’t take for granted that it’s the middle of winter and she took Bella out, fed her, gave her belly scratches and sent me pictures! I would highly recommend booking Sherrie and I will absolutely be booking her again soon! Thank you so much!!!”

Jay D.

“Jason did an amazing job caring for my cat, Porter! He made sure Porter had fresh food and water each day, kept the litter box clean, and gave him plenty of playtime and attention. I really appreciated all the photo updates, it was clear Porter was comfortable and happy. I’d absolutely trust Jason to care for him again!”

Alyssa S.

About: I have two huskies of my own, 1 YO & 4 MO, who have taught me patience, care & love within taking care of animals. My first husky broke his leg and I had to take special care of him and know the kind of love, care & stress happens in those situations. I have always loved animals & have loved taking care of them. Animals gravitate towards me and I have so much love in my heart for any animal. I am dedicated to giving your animal the best care & ensure they feel safe, loved & cared for. I am able to let dogs out (if in area) while on my lunch break & can let them out/walk them after work. I am available after 5 PM on weekdays and most weekends available all day. I have a fenced in yard and my pups are on a very strict routine. They are so in tune with the routine that they will wake up and beg for breakfast before I am awake. They know what is next in the routine and are always ready to run through it morning/night.

About: I grew up with a dog named Sammy, who was my best friend throughout my entire life. This experience has given me a deep understanding of pet care, from puppies to senior dogs. I’m patient, compassionate, and dedicated to ensuring pets feel loved and comfortable. Between my CPA exam prep and marathon training, I have a flexible schedule. I’d love to take your pet for a walk or just hang out during my study breaks. I will follow the pet's daily schedule, ensuring they’re fed, hydrated, and receive any required medications. I’ll also clean up accidents and keep their environment secure and comfortable, making adjustments as necessary for their well-being

About: I have owned and cared for animals my entire life, I can't get enough ❤️ I have been a foster mom for 3 different rescues over the past 6.5 years, helping many different dogs prepare for their adoptions and transition to their new homes. I have experience with different ages, health conditions and personalities. I am very observant and patient, I err on the side of caution as you can never be too safe! Dog sitting is my full time job, so I am able to tend to your pup(s) consistently and provide a clean and safe home environment. Stays are limited to just 4 few spots, in my quiet, spacious home. Pups have unlimited access to my huge fenced in yard, with plenty of new smells and places to explore! I do not crate them unless it is necessary for meal times, rest, etc. They will be treated like family while they are here, with social time as well as one on one attention. If your pup matches with the group, they will have lots of play time to burn off their excess energy too! I will also send pictures and videos, as much as your heart desires, so you can be at ease that your dog is happy while you are away! My business is also privately insured.

About: I have 2 years of formal work experience at a boarding/kennel facility where I took care of dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Dogs with behavioral issues were also welcomed and given tender love and care along with pets who faced health problems. I am comfortable administering medication, caring for the senior dog community, and playing with puppies who just need to get some energy out! I recently finished my first year of college and can apply what I learned in my animal behavior and biology classes to my position as well. Growing up, I've always had a pet in my home from dogs, cats, and hamsters to fish, reptiles, and birds. I am confident around any type of animal, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pet! This will be my primary job for the summer as I am also going to be volunteering at my local animal shelter. I am incredibly flexible with dates and times as well because of this. I am available during the weekdays for drop-in care, walks, and playtime at any chosen time of the day. I am available Sundays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays for overnight boarding services starting at or around 4 pm (times are always negotiable and catered to your personal schedule)! I am currently certified in canine and feline first aid and CPR through the American Red Cross. I am comfortable with crating your dog if needed. I enjoy leash walking, including taking high-energy breeds or low-energy senior dogs for walks. I confidently supervise outdoor playtime in your own yard or even at dog parks and beaches.

About: I have taken care of dogs & cats for over 20 years. Many of our friends & family have had me watch their fur babies when they are out of town or away at work. I grew up on a farm and have lots of experience with different animals. I’m a stay at home mom with school age kids. This gives me the flexibility to provide in my home care, drop in at your home care or daily walks for your dogs. I have a large yard in a quiet neighborhood. I live next to a forest preserve trail for easy access to provide daily walks. Our dog is very friendly and would love an extra companion to play with.

About: Hi there! I would love to help you take care of your puppers. I have two cats of my own, and am just not home consistently enough to have a dog of my own. I have fostered several special needs dogs over the years, and have assisted at a few rescues in the care of their adoptable dogs. I have helped at the shelters in my area, but am looking for a way to spend some more consistent time with dogs. I work in a retail environment and every time a dog is in our store, my associates are paging me telling me so that I can come say hi. Thank you for considering me, I am happy to answer any questions you may have!
