About: I treat every pet like family—because I know how much they mean to you. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, calm energy, and ability to care for pets of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience with everything from puppy training and crate schedules to gentle senior care, including administering medications and supporting mobility issues. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra patience, I take the time to get to know them and adjust my care style to match. I also provide clear updates, photos, and honest communication so you feel completely at ease while you’re away. Bonus? I work from home and have a flexible schedule—so your pets get lots of attention and consistent companionship throughout the day. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily plan my day around walk times, feeding schedules, play sessions, and cuddle breaks. I make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need, whether that’s early morning potty breaks or a calm evening routine. I also build in time for cleaning, updates to pet parents, and making sure everything feels just right—because I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you're away from your pets. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize keeping your pets happy, safe, and stress-free—while respecting your space as if it were my own. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any special care instructions. Whether it's a quick drop-in visit or an overnight stay, I create a calm, reassuring environment and make sure your pets feel comfortable in their own home. I’m attentive to small details—like refreshing water bowls, tidying up pet areas, deep-cleaning litter boxes, and keeping an eye on your pet’s mood and behavior. I provide honest communication, regular updates, and plenty of photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in kind, capable hands.

“Bill has been a godsend with walking our girl! We, the doggie parents, both work almost an hour away and can’t get home to walk her. He’s been so awesome and informative. Definitely going to keep using his services.”

“Excellent care and flexibility for my pup!”

I take pride in ensuring any animal in my care is safe, happy and healthy from the day they arrive to the day they leave! (We have a female dog who we'd love to let meet more friends, if possible!) I am currently working a "choose your own shift" schedule, so I can dedicate as little or as much time as possible, to your beloved animal(s)! Schedule open to discussion, dependent on the individuals wants and needs. I have a fenced in dog park and a few walking trails where I reside. I am happy to provide walks and playtime to those in my care!

About: I grew up with a sweet smooth collie and helped take care of her throughout my childhood. These days I take care of friends and families dogs while they go on vacation or just need a quick sitter for the day/night. I also have a pet chinchilla, Cheaches, that I take care of everyday :) I'm a elementary teacher, so my availability during the summer is very open. I plan to be home full time most days but things do come up. If I need to be away I will always prioritize coming back to care for the pets. I'm very comfortable with all dogs no matter the size or breed. I have handled a variety of dogs from timid to major explorers. Any instructions given to me I will happily follow. I have always had a easy time connecting with dogs! They are truly mans best friend and I understand just how much they mean to their families :)

About: I'm Nickie, and on top of being an overall animal lover, I've had a number of pets in my life, and worked in the vetmed world for more 10 yrs. I'm firm with pets when necessary, but I'll love them as my own instantly. I believe in taking my time with them, and letting them come to me. In the case of cats, I dont take it personally if they run and hide. (We all know they do everything on their own terms anyway.) I've learned messes happen, and don't shy away from cleaning them up. Should I be invited into your home, I am respectful and courteous. I do everything I can to work with you and your animals' schedules. I mostly work for myself from home, but also work part-time as a special asst ~10hrs/week. Overall, my schedule is quite flexible. As for my own little zoo, I have a female pitbull named Annie B. Nannie, two female kitties named Freddie Spaghetti and Penny Parmesan, and chonky male cat name Kevin Pickles. He's 2 years younger than all my girls, but is bigger and the main bringer of chaos. I have a part time personal asst role about ~10hrs per week in Lake Forest (days vary from week to week), but primarily work for myself from home the rest of the week. These positions allow for a pretty flexible schedule to work within your animal care needs. Should you want something outside what Rover allows you to choose (sometimes odd requests/needs happen), just select what is closest and send me a message to explain. More often than not, we can make it work with a bit of explaination/clarification. I care for your animal family members in your own home and work with them on their terms, and at a pace that feels comfortable to them. I understand messes can happen and nerves can get the better of some, while others instantly want to be my new best friend. I work with patience, kindness, understanding, and respect. I am unable to care for your furlings within my own home at this time, but am happy to go to you.

About: Hello I currently own 2 dogs and 3 cats. My friends, family, and neighbors rely on me when going on trips to help out with their fur babies. Doing their feeding, taking them for walks, playing with them, giving them medication if needed or just keeping them company. I currently work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. To do drop in visits, or walks it’s also helpful that I’m home all day to keep an eye on your babies and play with them on my breaks. I have a fenced yard big enough for your pet to run around, or play with my dogs that enjoy company. Either your pet likes to play outside with toys or receive lots of cuddles, or walks. I do require a meet and greet before setting anything up to see if everyone gets along.

“Thank you, my Rex enjoyed his walk. We hope to see you soon.”
