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!”

“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!”

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.

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.

“Victoria was awesome. She sent updates and photos of our furry little loved ones. She walked our dog way more than we normally do! Very easy process. We feel very comfortable with her, watching our animals again and will definitely be using her in the future.”

Natalie M.

“Sierra took such good care of Sunshine! She sent pictures of him. She walked him as frequently as we requested. We will definitely be requesting her again!”

Josephine I.

“We learned of Hannah through a neighbor who used her and was so pleased they are using her again. I was a little worried as i have never used a service like this before but she eased my mind. She was great, she sent pictures & our house was the same as when we left, our dogs were well taken care of and she even did extras like collecting our mail ect.. We have already booked another sitting and definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”

Terrie P.

“Beth was able to watch my dog Charlotte on very short notice and did everything perfectly. Very nice and responsive throughout. Will definitely use Beth again!”

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.

“Once again, Scott was great with Roxie. He gave her all the love and belly rubs she is used to, and sent daily pictures. I came home to a happy and healthy pup! I know I can always count on Scott to take care of Roxie when I’m not there!”
