About: Dog lover since 1992 and has cared for 5 different huskies in my family. As a kid, I regularly took care of our Siberian husky brothers, Rambo and Rascal, since they were 6 months old. Loves dogs with high energy and enjoys seeing their excitement when they get to go for a walk. Your doggo is in good hands when they’re with me. I am currently looking for part-time work after leaving my laboratory job in Colorado. I have all the time in the day to care for your dog and/or cat. I am an active person who likes to be outside and takes walks as long as the weather permits. I live across the street from Turner Park in Roselle with walking trails nearby. Our yard has a big grassy backyard that is perfect for your dog to explore while supervised on a leash. For pet safety, I always walk dogs outside with a leash and I always try to avoid meetings with other dogs; I always carry pocket pepper spray for the off chance that an aggressive dog gets loose and wants to cause harm (my good friend lost the tip of his index finger to a Pitbull who attacked his Husky at a dog park). I also avoid dog parks as I cannot trust other dogs around yours. I safely drive a SUV for the possibility that your dog needs to be picked up and/or dropped off. To avoid ticks, I don’t let dogs rummage through tall grass. If you have more than one dog that needs care then they are always feed in separate areas to avoid any confrontations. Willing to provide dog washing upon request.

“Mariela has been my five-day a week walker for my two Labradors for the past two months. She has shown great care with my dogs. Having a senior dog and a puppy is a challenge, but Mariela recognizes their individual needs and is very patient with both of them. I’m glad to have someone I can trust taking care of my pups each day!”

About: Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always had a passion & love for animals - I’d volunteer to take the neighborhood dogs on a walk, clean up after them, groom them and watch them… this passion and love hasn’t gone away, but has only grown! This passion and love has grown so much that I’ve volunteered several times at local Kane county animals shelters! I have experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, needs, energy levels… from a couch potato Irish Wolfhound mix rescue to a energetic purebred Chihuahua. I even have experience with cats and kittens! If by request, I can work on commands, walking, agility, etc. … I’ve got experience with it all! Friends and family would describe me as dependable, punctual, honest, energetic, positive & trustworthy to name a few! I’m very adaptable and flexible, too, so please just reach out with any concerns and we can work something out together. Your furry baby/babies are the main concern! Whatever you need for your sweet baby/babies, I’m here to help! Let me show you my love and experience with animals by booking a walk, drop in or house sit with me today! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I’m available Tuesdays, Fridays, & Weekends. Offer up a time and service, and I’ll work my schedule around that! I will follow all rules and routines, as usual when at the home. As for walks, I’ll make sure to keep a close, attentive eye on your sweet pup(s)! For drop ins and house sitting, I will be sure to leave your home and baby/babies in the same exact condition, if not even better! *pricing subject to change based on distance, length, amount of dogs, and requirements* I have a lot of free time to help with your furry babies! I will adjust accordingly to fit into your schedule and be ass accommodating as possible. I will follow your instructions as listed - whether that’s keeping your pup on a leash while in the backyard to crating the pup before I leave, I’m on it!

About: Are you looking for an experienced dog/cat/plant/fish/ sitter in the western suburbs? I have experience with dogs of all sizes and cats of many temperaments. I grew up with just about every animal you can think of and would love to meet your favorite furry/scaley/leafy friend! I’m available for drop in visits, dog walking, overnight sits, etc. I love spending time with animals and am happy to make time available when needed. I have a very active life and love being outdoors. Open availability evenings and weekends! I love to take lots of pictures and videos to send to owners! Typical activities of feeding, watering, petting, and spending time with your furry friends.

About: I grew up in a home always having at least 2 pups running around & have always enjoyed being around animals. While I have always helped out with our own animals ever since I was little, I have been house sitting/pet sitting for others since I was 10! I also have experience with a wide age range, from puppies to senior pups. I have a few families I regularly dog-sit consistently that I’ve met through rover, and would love to add some new faces to my “dog family” & love on your pup while you’re away! :) I work full time Monday-Thursday, these days I am free after 6/7pm. I have full availability on Fridays and weekends for all the cuddles, walks & fetch games we can fit in! I have a cat - Luna - who is the sweetest ball of fluff you will ever meet, however, she is very anxious and shy. While she does very well with other cats, she doesn’t do well with dogs. Watching your pup in their own environment would be ideal, not only for them, but for her.

About: I am a certified Dog Obedience Instructor and have also completed Service Dog training. I have hands-on experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments.

I can provide safe and responsible dog walking, pet sitting, basic obedience training, puppy care, and help reinforce good behavior during walks and visits. I treat every dog with patience, respect, and individual attention. I speak English, Ukrainian, and Russian. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and training sessions on weekdays and weekends. I can adjust my schedule depending on your dog’s routine and individual needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities. As a certified dog trainer, I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior, body language, and individual needs. I always follow the owner’s instructions and use positive, respectful handling. During walks and visits, your dog will receive my full attention and care.

About: As a lifelong dog owner, I’m always told I have a calm demeanor that keeps people and dogs feeling comfortable and stress free. Go enjoy your plans and feel confident that I am capable and experienced. As an experienced mom and a teacher, I’m ready to resolve problems and make logical decisions to keep your home and your beloved pets safe.

Every dog and every home has different expectations to keep their pets comfortable and stress-free. I would stay at your house to care for your pets for as long as your dog needs, and fulfill any care requirements that your dog is used to when you yourself are home. I will play with and cuddle with your dog as much as they like and need!

About: My family and I love dogs. We also love cats, but unfortunately I’m allergic to them. We’ve raised three dogs over the years and currently have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever named Jax. I pretty much work from home and have a 4 year old Golden Retreiver named Jax so our routine is already made for a dog. I have a fenced in back yard. Your dog will have a playmate in Jax. I enjoy going out and playing fetch with Jax although he's not much of a fetch guy. He enjoys me faking like I'm going to chase him and then he gets the zoomies and runs around the yard like a crazy boy.

“My wife and I met Lauriel only briefly to introduce our dogs and cover their specifics and immediately knew she would be a great fit.. We are very happy to have met Lauriel and are excited to have her continue to help take care of our boys... Thank you for all the you do! - highly recommended based on: patience, warmness, reliability”

About: Guaranteed to care for your pets like they're my own - I absolutely adore all animals! I’ve cared for dogs & cats of many breeds/sizes since I was 10 years old and have 2 years experience assisting a dog trainer in Baltimore. I have experience and feel more than comfortable with puppies, large dogs, administering medications to animals, and strong dogs. When I lived In Baltimore, I owned two pit bulls and used to walk them together around the city comfortably. I have been doing house sits/pet sits for years now and absolutely LOVE animals. Really connect well with all the fur babies ☺️🐶🐱 I’m currently working virtually as an administrative assistant so I’m able to do my work from your home and fit my schedule to the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I don’t currently own a pet of my own so I can focus on my work, which is a huge reason I wanted to join this site so I can get my fix of pet love until I am ready for my next pup and/or kitty! For house sits, guaranteed extra cuddle time as I'll be working from home. 💗 I am comfortable caring for pets in your home - I’ve gone into the homes of many pet owners and always treat their space with utmost respect and care, and treat the pets as my own. From my own experience of having dogs and cats, I know how they are just as much a part of the family as the humans and treat them as such! I also recognize the trust it requires for pet owners to invite pet sitters into their home and I am so appreciative of the opportunities to connect with many different families and animals.

About: I've had a dog pretty much at all times since I was 6. My home is affectionately called The Pound, to some, it's called Club Bow Wow. As an adult I had a Jack Russell that crossed the rainbow when she was 17 years old. We had so much fun together, even in her senior years when her lifestyle changed. My current dog Bailey Rose was a rescue that truly found me at a time I thought I was not going to get a dog again. The moment I saw her, I knew she was going to be mine! Since adopting Bailey I have fostered 6 pups and she has been the best foster sister. My home has had up to 6 family dogs at the same time, hence the name The Pound. Whether it be for a visit or for sitting dogs love to be here because the feel the love and energy from me! I've boarded dogs for weeks at a time, although I prefer to board for shorter time. We take daily walks and play in my large yard multiple times a day. Your dog will be in safe loving hands with me and they will definitely have a fun time with Team Maggie and Bailey at The Pound. I work from home Monday thru Friday. My work time is pretty flexible so I can take breaks as needed for walks/check-in/playtime. I am also available on weekends as needed. I have a large fenced in yard. My home has space for your dog to freely roam and I have the space to crate if that is your preference. I have dog beds in my office while I work if your pup likes to be near their human friends.

“Cari takes amazing care of my dog, Rosie!”
