Dog Sitting Palatine

“We have never left our dogs with someone before/had someone come over to do drop ins for our dogs, so I was hesitant on trusting a stranger. But at the meet and greet, I knew Sarah was going to be awesome! She was thorough with her questions, got a great understanding of the dogs, even asked questions I didn't think of! I felt our home and dogs were safe with her the entire weekend. She gained our trust instantly (which is not something that happens often)! The dogs loved her and had the best time with her!?”

“Caroline was very sweet and helped us out with an emergency need for our kitten and adult cat. We trusted her immediately & would definitely recommend!”

About: I have had a dog since I was 5, and have been caring for him since he was a puppy through to adulthood and elderly age. I've also housed and cared for three dogs at once for months at a time, all varying breeds and ages and sizes. Additionally, I worked in animal husbandry in a professional setting at my university. I’m currently working part-time, and have the most availability on weekdays! I’m free all day on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. On Wednesdays I’m typically free in the afternoon and evening. I love being outdoors whenever possible, and am more than happy to take your dog on long walks! I’m a very detailed person who always gets the job done, and your pet’s safety is my utmost priority. I can feed, play with, take outside, clean up accidents, or just keep your pet company for hours at a time.

“Hannah was amazing! She helped us out in a pinch and took excellent care of our dog. I appreciate that she was a quick, clear communicator and followed our directions to make sure our dog was safe and loved. Thank you, Hannah!”

“Aury took amazing care of my two cats. Very attentive and great communication — sent lots of pics and videos. She went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for and gave me peace of mind while I was out of town. Definitely recommend her 10/10 :)”

“Tania was available super last minute for us and took great care of our dogs! She’s communicative, sends photos and videos, and takes time to play with our dogs. They love her and so do we!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was little and I love being able to go on walks and let an animal walk and explore at the same time. I’ve worked with energetic dogs and dogs that like to take their time while walking. I do work a part time job so my afternoons are mostly free. I can do evening walks or really early in the morning everyday. When I check their food I always give fresh water and make sure they have everything they need. I’ll also sit with them for a bit so they have some company and can play with a ball or toy that I can throw for them.

“I highly recommend Rebekah! Our first experience using Rover and was more than pleased with the care and concern Rebekah gave our cat George! I think he was a little spoiled actually, and couldn’t be happier. Will definitely use her service again!”

“Jenny was reliable and Caring. She returned to our house on her own to check on our dogs when she was concerned! Would definitely book her again in a heartbeat”

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 15 years now. We always have had one dog at a time but love them dearly! We have a fenced backyard safe and clean for the dogs to roam around. If you need walks, let us know the schedule. We also rescued a puppy in Dec 2025 after our previous dog of 6 years passed away (from cancer). We have gated areas to keep pups apart for their alone time and get together for playtime! I am currently at home full time so I’m very flexible with hours and routine. I will work around the schedules to meet your dog’s needs. I have a FENCED backyard and our backyard is regularly cleaned. We have a gated area in the home to keep the dogs separate for their “me time” if needed. We also never let our dog upstairs or in the basement so if yours needs to sleep in the bed, we can’t do that. We also don’t let dogs on our couches. We love our furry family members and they should have their own furniture:) We have an XL crate if you prefer we can use it for your dog. We have several safe toys for the dogs but let me know if your pup has a tendency to get into things. We will always keep an eye out! We also have pet safe indoor plants throughout the home. If your dog has a habit of digging into pots, please let me know.

About: I’ve taken care of friends dogs as well as clients dogs while caring for their children when I was a nanny and special needs tutor. Clients and friends feel comfortable and confident leaving their pets in my care. They are not just animals to me. They are part of the family. I am looking to care for your pets on a full time basis. I’m ready to commit to caring for your fur babies as my own. I unfortunately cannot care for your pet in my home, but I am ready, willing and able to come to your home and take exceptional care for your little fur babies!

About: Hi! I’m a student at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and a huge dog lover. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I also have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, patient, and caring looking after your pet. I can't wait to meet your furry friends! I'm currently working part time as a Certified Nursing Assistant and on summer break as a university student. I have plenty of time to care for your pets and spend time with them! I have one friendly, well-trained dog and a large backyard. I value long walks a dog's overall happiness! I am able to walk, play with, or simple spend time with your dogs based on their needs!

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, helped raise two puppies. I volunteered at a puppy shelter! I am good with high energy and senior dogs. Over the summer I work from 8:00-12:30 am so before and after that I am completely free! Can care for the pet mornings, afternoon and nights! I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for a dog even for a short amount of time. And will make sure the animal is safe and protected within my care.

About: Currently, I have two cats. I've had a dog, but before that, I primarily had birds (parakeets), lizards (bearded dragons) and frogs (mostly bull frogs). I cat-sit on occassion for a friend and sibling. I also raise Monarch caterpillars in the summer and release the adults. I work full time outside the home but am home in the summer (teacher). I am available weekends and weekday evenings, with sufficient notice of weekday needs. I am usually available Friday evening through Sunday evening. I am looking to do drop-in pet care and dog boarding. I could board a small pet that resides in an enclosure in my home or a dog (or two dogs from the same household). Both my cats are comfortable with dogs but tend to keep to themselves. I have 2 children and 2 cats at home. It’s a one floor house. The yard is nice and big. I don’t have a fence but I do have a longer leash so the dogs can run a bit.

About: hello! my name is charlize i’m 22 i’ve grown up with animals my whole life and now i currently work at an animal hospital helping taking care of the dogs and cats that come in to see the vet. i’m very experienced with animals and taking care of animals and i love all different kinds of animals. i’ve worked at the animal hospital now for two and a half years and its been the most amazing two and a half years of my life. i am also going to school to practice becoming a veterinarian so i am really excited to meet all new furry friends for more experience. i am good with administering medication, i am good with dealing with aggressive dogs, i am good with any diabetic cat or dog with dosing insulin. you name it and i can do it!! i work part time hours at the animal hospital during the summer months and full time during fall and winter but i am extremely flexible, as i work on my terms and conditions. i am willing to fit last minute accommodation if it works with my personal schedule but i can also take time out of my day if needed to walk a dog etc. i unfortunately cannot have pets in my building but i am more than willing and able to go to anyone else’s beloved home to pet sit, or walk, or feed animals. i come in with a soft expression and wait for the animals to get used to me and my scent and then i wait for their approval to come further in their home/space. i am very careful to not touch them when they don’t want to be touched and i am always patient with animals especially if they’re new to my route.

“Carly is amazing! She took the time to come and meet Maylee and I before she agreed to look after her. She sent several pictures while I was away, and kept me updated the whole time. If you need someone to look after your fur child I wouldn’t recommend anyone else!”

About: I’m a dedicated and loving pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and needs—including my own big reactive German Shepherd, who is truly the star of my life. Through daily care, training, and attention, I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog behavior, structure, and what makes pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I recently moved to the area, so I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. This allows me to give pets the attention, consistency, and care they need. I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, habits, and needs so they feel secure and cared for—whether in my home or yours, or a walk.

About: I have been around pets my whole life and know how to read their body language. I am respectful if they need space and let them warm up to me. My family had large dogs and cats growing up that I helped care for and train. I helped care for 3 litters of puppies and I trained the puppies we kept. I also had a cat who was spoiled with love and lots of playtime. I work at a school and don't work during the summer, so I am very flexible. During the school year my availability will be afternoons/evenings on weekdays. I love cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I will love your pet like my own! I truly enjoy taking care of cats and dogs and giving them lots of play and affection. I always respect their space if they are afraid, but I am skilled at earning their trust and helping them warm up to me.

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was 15. Neighbors, friends, family have all relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their fur babies. I’m an animal lover who used to be a jr. Naturalist; I love all animals. I’m currently working a before school care program and an after school care program with the park district. I am available for walking pets starting at 9am-3pm (Monday- Friday) all year round. For pet setting it depends on the time and date. I live in a townhouse with a family friendly neighborhood; I don’t have a fenced in yard, however, I do have a park that we can let them ran around. Your pet won’t be lonely in our home we have a fur baby ourselves, Nigel (west highland terrier). I would look after your fur baby like my own, walks three to four times a day, fed as often as needed, play time, love and compassion. Your fur baby is apart your family and will be cared for that way.

“Kaylie has literally been life saver for us! She has been more than willing to adjust how she does visits to help my puppy deal with separation anxiety, she is very quick to respond, and always leaves a great Rover card with lots of photos so that I can get an update on my puppy during the day.”
