About: I've cared for family and friends dogs since I was a teenager, as well as our own dogs. I have experience with diabetic dogs and other medical needs. I work part time and will spend my off time with your pup. I like to meet everyone before sitting so I can get to know their routines and make sure everyone is comfortable! I will care for your pets as you do. I typically visit the home before dogsitting to meet the dog and see what their routine is.
“Belle did an amazing job watching our 2 Golden Retrievers and 4 cats. We have always had family watch our animals when we go on vacation so I was a little anxious to have someone new watch them, but Belle made us feel at ease with her communications and pictures of our babies. They all looked so happy! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”

About: I don’t just watch pets, I care for them like they’re my own. My King Charles Cavalier Spaniel taught me how meaningful the bond between people and their pets can be, and it’s one of the reasons why I treat every animal with patience, affection, and individualized care. With years of experience, a flexible schedule, and a true passion for animals, you can trust that your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. 🐶🐱💕 I work full-time, but pet sitting fits well into my weekly schedule because I’m intentional about making time for it. I only take on bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention, care, and reliability they deserve. Evenings and weekends are open as well as during lunch hours during the work week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and lots of attention. I also treat your home with respect, keep things clean and secure, and provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Where do I begin??! Rosie & I are so lucky to have found Haley. Rosie is a senior lady and comes with many quirks. Haley has gone above and beyond with understanding Rosie’s needs but also finding quick solutions to anything that may occur. I live in an apt complex and the elevator has had issues multiple times. Rosie cannot do stairs well and Haley was kind enough to take her to her own home with a better living situation for Rosie until they were back in service. Caring for a senior dog isn’t easy and Haley has time and time again known what to do to make every situation the absolute best for Rosie. I leave for every trip with peace of mind knowing she is with Haley. There are not enough words to describe how amazing that feels! We love Haley!”

“Sarah was absolutely PERFECT! Our pup was clearly taken care of and loved like she would have done if he was her own. She sent the perfect amount of communications and pictures. We felt completely comfortable that he was in the best hands ever! Thank you Sarah for being so wonderful! We look forward to seeing you many times in the future!”


“Timothy was great! Very nice and easy to communicate with. Took care of our two large dogs and was able to give them their medicine as prescribed. Gave us peace of mind while we were out of town that our animals and house were well taken care of. He left the house in a cleaner state than when we left which is hard to do with a shedding husky. We will be using him again whenever we’re out of town.”

About: I have been a sitter for 2 years; helping my aunt and grandma with some of their regular clients. I just moved from home into an apartment by myself, and as much as I love my alone time, I also love and miss the company of a pet! I have 2 puppies of my own that live separately from me, with my parents and I love them both with my whole heart. My favorite part about pet sitting is, finding the different personalities in each animal because they are all so different and unique in their own ways! And just like their personalities, each animals wants and needs become different and unique as well! So to be able to adapt to each dog’s lifestyle is such an important way to connect with them and to make them feel the most comfortable and understood! I promise I can keep up with your pets daily routine and give your fur baby 100% love and attention while in my care! I am an assistant preschool teacher during the week, so I typically work 8-3 on Tue, Thur and I work 9-5 on Mon, Wed, Fri. Aside from my day job, I am usually always home and available! The care depends on the dog, but typically your dog is able to be free around my apartment when I’m away, as long as it’s ok with the owner. When I’m home, I will be able to take out the dog about every hour or two. I typically take them in the backyard on a hand held lease because my yard is not fenced. Water and food (if permitted) will be of access to them 24/7. Treats are given after bathroom breaks, good behavior/tricks, or whenever preferred by owner.
About: I volunteer with obedience classes In classes I have learn how to trained dogs and how to walk them at trotting pace with a lose lead. Your dog will get the exercise he or she needs when being watch by me. I will love and care for them just as you would while your away. I have experance caring for animals during grooming session. I have experance caring caring for my own animals as well I have also cared for my girlfriend cat As well as my co workers cat The volteeriing has helped to understand dog behavior. your dog or dogs will get some training when I care for your beloved pet I have experience in dog grooming I have availability in the evenings Education in CPR
About: I am a reiki master. I love providing healing to animals. Hugs, belly rubs ,you name it!! I dont mind providing medicine also. I also prefer over communication. I can swing by on my lunch break for potty breaks. I also can coordinate walks. Weekend time frame I also dont mind dogs of smaller size over to stay at my house. I have a fenced in yard for my 2 dogs. Very clean environment. I have a 11 yr old Australian shepherd and a 6 yr oldhound that are friendly.
“Wow! 🤩 Noelle is deserving of ONE MILLION stars! She cared for my two senior and special needs dogs like they were her own! Going above and beyond with their special diet, schedule and administering insulin shots. BONUS: it look like housekeeping showed up before I arrived. Already rebooked for future dates 🌟”

“Jennipher was amazing! I was so nervous leaving my girl with someone new but she put me ease from the moment I met her. I got updates throughout the entire stay and she even took Lu to the beach for a swim. Highly recommend and can’t wait to use her again :)”

“Angela watched both of my dogs while I was on vacation at my campsite on literally the weekend of July 4, 2022. She is a very kind and gentle soul. She has so much knowledge and compassion working with animals. She took care of my babies with so much love. She very responsible and goes extra! Very trustworthy and kind person. Honestly it was the first time I met her but her personality and compassion shows She on time and goes beyond. You won’t be disappointed and your pets will love her Highly recommend”

“We had the pleasure of having April stay at our house for two nights to take care of our dogs, and she was fantastic! April was incredibly attentive and caring, making sure our furry friends were happy and well-exercised. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind. Our home was left spotless, and our dog seemed genuinely happy and well-cared for. We highly recommend April to anyone in need of a reliable and loving dog sitter!”

About: I absolutely adore animals but especially dogs, I worked at a dog kennel for two years, which has helped me to gain experience around dogs of any and all different sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments/requirements. I have been dog sitting/walking and doing overnight stays for 3 years and take great pride in taking care of your pet as if they’re my own! I am working part time at a kennel right now, however my shifts are very short (5 hours max but typically 2.5-3 hours). I get my schedule on a week to week basis, so if you want to guarantee that I have the availability to watch your pup, let me know at least 2 weeks in advance and I will happily request off from work to help you out (please still feel free to reach out even if its less than 2 weeks in advance, I likely will still be able to help you out). Having such short shifts, im available for pop-ins and walks the majority of the day, however there should be no problem with staying overnight as my latest shift is from 8:15-9:15pm at the kennel for let out. I will care for your pet as if it’s my own to ensure their safety and enjoyment for the time I am with them, as well as making sure your home is safe while you are away. I will follow any and all instructions that are given to me to guarantee everything runs smoothly and that your pup has a great and safe time!
Pekin pet parents share their Rover experiences
Belle was an excellent dog sitter (and house sitter, for that matter!) The dogs were happy & well taken care of. We got regular updates & didn't have to worry once. Ahead of time, she asked all the important questions & took careful notes. She even graciously agreed to help with my daughter's reptiles & birds. We came home to happy dogs & a clean house!
