“Amanda was an incredible help while I was away taking such great care of my cats! She went above and beyond, not only making sure they were well cared for but also leaving my home even cleaner than when she arrived. Her daily updates were so thoughtful and reassuring, giving me total peace of mind. Plus, she has such a great vibe—I feel like we’d get along so well in everyday life! Thank you so much, Amanda!”

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs! I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own. 2 of my dogs are rescues and 1 since she was a puppy- now a senior being 9 years old. One of the rescues has a disability of not being able to walk and the other has fear anxiety with humans. Each needing their own training and patience from us to help them succeed in this world! I am in charge of medication management at home! I work from home 2 days a week with Friday being a half day. I am a full time mental health therapist and working with behaviors from humans to animals is something I am passionate about! I have a fenced in yard and a camera in the front. I like to go out with the dogs at first to make sure they get out safely- free of turkeys, coyotes, etc. For walks, I ensure the leash is properly on and the leash is tightly in my hand. I will absolutely abide by owners procedures and what they feel comfortable with!

About: I grew up with different types of pets. Friends and family have relied on me to love and care for their pets when they need it. My job is pretty flexible with my hours. I am home on the evenings. And all day on the weekends. I will gladly give your fur baby lots of love. My pets are really friendly and will most definitely keep your pet good company. There's a dog park down the street from my house and my pets love it. I will gladly bring your fur baby along to have a good time!

About: I’ve been able to assimilate my 2 yr old dog to the schedule of my other 13 yr dog. I’ve been accommodating each of their needs, as they differ. I am always looking for literature on dog training/behavior. My current job is flexible, so I am available to shift my schedule as needed. Careful time management has helped me plan my days more efficiently. With the upmost patience and respect. I am attentive to their preferences and adjust my care for them. It is crucial to not be reactive, but proactive and plan ahead.

“Lety is amazing! Especially on such short notice, she was able to drop by and care for my Maverick when I wasn't able to get home at my normal time. She really does go above and beyond.”

About: Throughout my life I have always had a dog. I grew up with a black lab, and also currently have two little rat terriers. Growing up with dogs I know how to take care of them and also know how to interact and treat them well. I love taking dogs on walk and playing with them outside. I am a teacher so I am available early in the morning, all afternoon/night, and I am free weekends as well to take care of your pet. I am very loving and caring with animals and will treat your pet like they are my own. If you have any specific requests you would like to give me about your animal I would be more than happy to fulfill. I am a teacher who works from 7:30am to 2:45pm. I am free early in the morning as well as during the afternoon and at night. Weekends are normally free for me to take care of your pet. I love going on walks with dogs as well as popping in for a play date! Making sure your dog or cat has what they need would be a priority for me, and making sure they feel safe and you feel comfortable will be very important to me!

About: I have had and care for animals my whole life. I am an animal lover! I feed them play with them plenty of exercise vet appointments etc I am a stay at home mom so I am home most of the time aside from shopping and appointments so I have a lot of spare time through out the day to care for animals. My pets go out first thing in the morning and every hour after at least and they get playtime throughout the day and treats and they eat when they are hungry

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since i started volunteering at the animal hospital in freeport il. I started doing that when i was ten years old. I have attended just under two years of schooling towards being a zoologist in the past as well. I started fostering with my grandma when i was 14, and I have successfully adopted out 12 pit bulls that would have been put to sleep :) I have pet sit since i was old enough to babysit kids, my grandparents on my dads side were missionaries and would always have me take care of their three cats Lucy,linus, and peanut. I have also helped Noah's ark and Winnebago country with fostering off and on for many years (20 ). I look forward to snuggling your pooch! I work for myself, and can usually be be available almost anytime you need me to be. I am a very responsible and responsive person. I have a fenced yard, harnessed leads and two smooshy olde English bulldogs to keep your fur baby company. I also have cats they can play with , my cats aren't scared of dogs.

“Second time with Cameron. We love her concern and care for our cats. She’s very good at keeping us informed about what’s happening while we are away. I’m never worried. Thanks again Cameron. We really appreciate what you are doing here on Rover.”

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a baby, and they are a huge part of my family. I also have experience dog and cat sitting for family friends and neighbors, as well as dog walking. I love animals and am looking forward to helping pet owners in my community! I am new to the area and looking for summer work, so I have a very open schedule! I am open all week at various times, so just communicate with me to find a time that works best. I will treat your home with care and take care of your pet like it is my own! I can house an animal at my house for a day, however I do not have a crate or dog bed.

About: Always surrounded by dogs, after asking for owner permission, lovable and playful. Patience with puppies and careful with older dogs. All dogs regardless of size and age are loved I'm am complaining my apprenticeship, being on call every other day. Able to take cats of dogs and cats every other day. Can take care of pets after 5pm I live in an apartment, unfortunately unable to take care at my own place.

“Elizabeth did a great job with our two dogs when we were in a jam- our smaller dog got into a dogfight and needed to stay home and recover. She came 2x/day and helped with her wound care, medications, and exercise. She was reliable and wonderful to work with. Elizabeth is an excellent communicator. I felt so much better knowing that our wounded dog was being taken care of by Elizabeth. I would trust her with my animals again in a minute!”

About: I currently have two small dogs who I take care of full time. I’ve had them for 2 years now. I love playing with dogs, rubbing their tummy, or just hanging out with them. If your dog has separation anxiety that will not be a problem. One of my dogs is the same way and I wouldn’t mind being there full time for your dog. Pet care fits into my schedule perfectly because most of my days consist of being home taking care of my two small dogs. I’m also a nursing student so it helps that I have a lot of time after studying to play with the dogs/puppies. I have a fenced yard. It is pretty big. In order to keep my dogs safe I always make sure doors are closed before letting them out and as a special precaution I like to add an AirTag to their collars in case anything happens (has not happened yet but it’s better to be safe than sorry).

About: I’ve had a dog in my life since I can remember. I grew up in a family that breed Rottweilers and trained them as show dogs. I have a love of all dogs, ages & stages. I have owned and taken care of dogs in all sizes, from hairless chihuahuas to Rottweilers. I currently own a 2 year old shetland sheep dog that I have trained to do both commands & tricks. I would be happy to help with basic commands if your puppy needs it. I would love the opportunity to help care for your furry friend in anyways that I can. My current role is very flexible! I’m available for weekend boarding as well as weekday overnights. I am opening to dog walking on the weekends as well. Since my husband and I have a dog, he is able to care for ours if I am needing to care for someone else’s! For overnights, because my job is flexible I am able to care for animals as much as needed. When it comes to boarding, we don’t have a fenced in yard but we do have a park down the street that I take our dog to and walk around the block! We live in a pretty quiet & safe neighborhood.

“Brooke was excellent to work with -- even with changes on our side. She was patient and left us feeling much better with our travel with her visits and pictures.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and children since I was 10 years old. I’ve babysat, dog walked, and bathed dogs of all sizes, and have always owned my own dogs since I was 4 years old. The dogs I owned and cared for ranged from as small as a Tea cup Yorkie all the way to greyhounds and Rottweilers. I am currently working full time, but I work from home. Working from home allows me plenty of time to care and look after your fur babies, and be able to keep an eye on them during the day and send you updates. I am free to sit any day of the week. My house is a great home away from home for your pup. I have a half acre of fenced off yard with plenty of room for your dog to get great exercise and lots of room to do their business. I also have two labs of my own that are great with other dogs big or small and will make great companions while you are away. My mom also works from home permanently and will be assisting in caring for the dogs and showing them extra love and attention. We have plenty of space in the house if you have your dogs crate trained, but if not they can make themselves at home wherever they are comfortable.

About: I always go above and beyond to make sure pets are well taken care of, worn out and loved! I have had 4 dogs in the past and have taken well care of them. I’m looking forward to meeting & bonding with new pets! I am home full time so your dogs will have plenty of love & care throughout the days. I have a fenced in yard so they can play in a spacious area without having to be tied up ! I am home full time so there will be no accidents, mishaps or issues and if there were any issues I’d make sure to text you and or go to an emergency vet if needed.

About: I have had animals since I was a kid I was always in charge of the feedings, bathroom breaks, walking the dogs, baths, you name it I did it I work as a server and recently cut back on school hours so this would be a good outlet to earn some money but also have my family/dogs enjoy something new and exciting I now have two dogs with slightly different energy levels and I feel it would benefit them to maybe have other dogs to play with. I live in a house with a fenced in yard my one puppy is 6 months and my female pocket bully is 3 my dogs are crate trained so I could try and crate train your dog if you would like
