House Sitting Park Ridge

About: I am currently on a pre veterinarian track at Jacksonville University. I have always loved working with animals from the zoo to vet clinics to my own animals. I have always loved to spend time with animals which is why I have decided to sign up for rover. I would love to express my passion and help others have complete comfort when leaving their furry friend. I want my clients to know they’re with someone who is passionate & experienced with all that is needed for their pets care. At home I have 3 dogs, 4 cats, 2 bunnies, and 2 guinea pigs! Everyday I experience hands on experience with pets feeding, cleaning, walking, and best of all giving them lots of love! At my clients home I make sure I go above and beyond to care for your pets! I will always be sure to make sure I clean up any mess, give your animal lots of love and comfort, and make sure all their energy is out whether that is throwing the ball outside, walks, or runs!

“This was our first house sitting with Rover and Nathan. Nathan always responded quickly in the app. He sent pictures while we were away. He played with Sadie and took good care of our property too. Will definitely use Nathan again. Sadie was very relaxed and happy when we returned home!”

“I am amazed by how well Ruth took care of my cat. She was always communicating with tons of pictures. There was not one moment throughout my trip away from home that I had any concern because of how well Ruth took care of my fur baby. I would recommend her 10000%.”

“Clover did an in-home sitting for us for a few days. We received a lot of photos, and they were very communicative. Clover was very in touch with our pups needs. They took care of our high-energy pup and made sure that she got loads of exercise through walks, beach sessions, and brewhound. Clover also took great care of our home. We will most definitely be using Clover again!”

“Katherine did an excellent job caring for my pup. She arrived on time for the meet and greet and to take care of Twyla. She sent lots of updates and pictures of my sweet girl that eased my mind while away. Highly recommend Katherine if you’re looking for in home care!”

About: We’ve owned many dogs before. We travel frequently for longer periods of time so we can’t have another of our own in this season. We still want to fill the time we are home with a dog in the house and be able to help out families. I work from home and my husband is a teacher so he is home mid afternoon and each evening. We are in and out during the weekends. We live very close to a dog park if that is something your dog is interested in and love going on walks around the neighborhood. We love spending time outside in the backyard or cuddled on the couch. We also have plenty of space if your dog prefers to be in a crate or on its own.

“Alex was great! Freya loved her, I got daily updates 😊”

Caroline M.

“So grateful to have found Jessica. She was able to fit us in with little notice, arrived on time, and dove right in to get to know our two dogs—one a very energetic puppy. They loved her (I can just tell) and we loved how she sent pics and was so personable and professional. I look forward to having her sit for us again soon.”

About: Ever since I was little, I have a huge heart for dogs. It wasn’t until I was 10 that I finally had a family dog, and from then on dogs have always been a part of my life. I’ve done personal dog-sitting on and off for a few years for some friends and family and I’ve always really enjoyed it. I did Rover a few years ago and loved it, but life got a bit crazy so I had to pause it. I was still able to consistently dogsit for some repeat customers these last few years, and now my wife Linsey joins me in that! Your dog can expect walks at the park or in our neighborhood and for my home to be their home. If your dog likes play dates, my Rover friends would certainly be about it! My normal job is pretty flexible on where I can work, so if your dog needs extra attention, working from home is totally doable. Between me and Linsey, at least one of us is always home. I’ve done Rover on and off for the last 8 years, and have really enjoyed it! My job is super flexible, with set hours only 2 nights a week and once during the day. I’m mostly working from home or at coffee shops, so it’s super easy to stay home with a dog. Between me and my wife, someone can pretty much always be with your pet. Our home is your dog’s home. If they want to go on the couch or follow us around, by all mean. If they like their space, I’ll give them space. Many dogs have taken a snooze on our couch, legs in the air.

“Mary was very helpful w my cats! She kept in contact the whole time. I would absolutely hire her again”

Rhianna U.

“Hannah did a fantastic job taking care my three kitties! She kept me informed about the cats every day and sent pictures of my babies each day as well. All three cats were calm and happy on my return and I won't hesitate to book Hannah again!”

“My two Boston Terriers were well taken care of by Scott while I was on vacation. I received daily photos and updates on their dog walks and I could tell they were very comfy with Scott as their sitter. He played with them, gave them their fav treats and followed care guide great. My very cautious cat even made an appearance or two. Will definitely rebook next time I travel!”

About: I specialize in high energy and high anxiety dogs. I have taken care of dogs of many ages from puppies to seniors. I currently don’t have pets of my own but I grew up and have owned dogs and cats throughout my life. My work schedule is flexiable and I make my own hours. I would work with the client and see what are their needs and I would tailor my schedule based around that. I will build trust with the pet first. Follow instructions of the client and work with the pet and make sure it’s needs are taken care off.

“Lauren is an exceptional sitter. She really understood the different needs of our dogs and was conscientious in every way. She was also very communicative and took great care of our home. We look forward to booking her again!”
