“Our puppies love Glen. Because they’ve been walking with him on a regular basis, their muscles are strong and they walk around with a newfound confidence. They have been able to walk farther and farther with each subsequent walk, which makes all of us happy.”
“Katelyn was truly amazing for the month of May for us. Very flexible & responsive. I have a crazy puppy who has thrown up & walked in poop & she’s taken care of him like Gus was hers. I plan to use her again when we are back from our honeymoon!!!!!”
“Regan was a life saver, my walker canceled at the last minute and she was able to cover. Very quick response, good communication and very accommodating. I will definitely use her again for walks.”
“Katie is WONDERFUL!! Wags, my overweight beagle (who lets me live there with my cat Top!) is already showing signs of having more energy. When I come home, he is bouncing up and down to meet me. It has been a while since he had this energy; I know it’s ALL because of Katie walking Wags! Besides this, Wag’s loves Katie and didn’t give me a second look when she came for him!!!♥️♥️”
About: I worked at a doggie daycare and boarding facility for two years, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. From group play supervision to feeding, cleaning, and administering medications, I gained experience in all aspects of pet care. I’ve also personally trained three dogs of my own—including a Great Pyrenees and a Black Lab puppy—so I’m very comfortable with everything from basic commands to crate training and leash manners. I’m confident with high-energy pups, large breeds, and dogs who may need a little extra patience. I’m currently available full-time until August 11th, so I can offer flexible and attentive care throughout the day. After that, I’ll be working full-time, but I’ll still be available for evenings, weekends, and early mornings depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you and your pup! Whether your pet is in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take time to understand each dog’s personality and needs—whether that means sticking to a routine, giving space, or providing extra playtime and cuddles. In my home, I create a calm and structured environment with plenty of supervision, especially during introductions with my own dogs. I’m experienced with crate training, managing group dynamics, and caring for dogs with specific behavioral needs. If I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same respect and care I give to my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely to ensure your pet stays happy, safe, and stress-free.
“Kara is the best! My pup adored her from the very second they first met. She is organized and immediately picks up on all of the little details about your dog’s needs or routine so you can fully relax knowing they are well cared for. She will keep you updated with the sweetest updates and photos every step of the way. I cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I am currently getting my bachelor's in animal behavior and care. I've had many species of dog from small to large as well as cats. I love all breeds and I am open minded to all animals. Even the scaly ones. I have 3 cats and a dog with ptsd from their previous owner. I work nights but am more then able to adjust my schedule in order to pet sit. I will still be sure they are fed properly, played with, and taken out as needed. I will ensure your pet is fed, walked, taken out and generally well looked after with lots of playtime. I can work with their dietary schedules and needs as well as their special care.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8, but have been an animal lover all my life. While I started out just walking them, I began taking on responsibilities of bathing, training, and taking specific care of their health — I was always the first called over when my family’s late beagle, Calvin, was experiencing the seizures that came genetically. I am not just reliable and passionate, but experienced as well, and have an eight-year-old rescued Lhasa Apso named Yosef. Besides my job as a front cashier, I’m available during the late morning and the whole afternoon — to walk, sit, and take care of your pup. I am able to play with, walk, bathe, and administer oral medicines to pets. Special requests for their health or safety are no issue or feat for me!
About: Hi, I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for my own pets every day. I’ve raised my sweet dog since she was a puppy—she’s now 8 years old and on a regular medication routine that I manage with care. I also have two cats, a playful kitten and a spirited 2-year-old, each with unique diets and habits I stay on top of. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets, and I bring that same level of love, patience, and attention to every animal I care for. Whether it’s administering medication, managing feeding routines, or simply keeping your pets comfortable and happy, I’m here to help you feel confident they’re in good hands. I’m currently working mornings full time but free after 4:30 Mon, Tue, Thur, and Friday in Peoria. I am very flexible and available all day weekends for overnight stays so I have plenty of time to hang out with your fur babies! I follow detailed instructions tailored to each pet and ensure their overall safety and well-being. Open communication and updates are provided for peace of mind.

About: I have been caring for dogs my entire life. I have experience bathing, walking, and playing with Chihuahua , Dachshund, Yorkie, Coton de Tuléar, Pitbulls,Boxers, and so many more! **Prices accounted for Rover’s fee** My schedule is fairly flexible to meet you and your pet’s needs! I do ask for request to be submitted at least a day in advance. I ask for same day care to be submitted two hours before requested arrival. My interactions with the animal depends on your pet’s interactions with me. For example, if your pet likes cuddles and has alot of energy. I would match that energy with various games and of course snuggle with them. However if your pet is the complete opposite and like to relax all day, I can do that too!

My pet, who can be a little shy, quickly warmed up to Mayra a true testament to her gentle and kind nature. When I returned, everything was spotless, and my pet was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
