About: From dogs, cats, gerbils, and even pigs, I’ve been taking care of a variety of pets since I was a kid. I’ve always had a passion for animals and would love to be considered for taking care of yours! I’m a stay-at-home mom who can dedicate the time to be there for your pet when you’re afar. Since I am home a majority of the day, if not all, I’m only a step away from your pet making sure his/her needs are taken care of. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs of my own. They are getting up there in age, so they tend to keep more to themselves (when they aren’t sleeping).

“Lark is great - she loves my dog and Maggie can’t wait for her walk with Lark! 🐾”

“It’s HOT and Mariah came prepared to give my girl the walk she very much needed despite the weather. We are so thankful!!”

About: When considering a pet sitter, I bring years of experience and a genuine passion for animal care. Having taken care of pets since I was just 9 years old, I've developed a deep understanding of their behaviors and needs. My love for dogs, in particular, drives me to provide the best possible care for each furry friend I encounter. I pride myself on being intuitive when it comes to animals, allowing me to recognize their emotions and needs quickly. This ability helps me create a comfortable and nurturing environment, ensuring that pets feel secure and loved in my care. I easily bond with animals, which not only enhances their well-being but also fosters trust between us. Choosing me as your pet sitter means entrusting your beloved companions to someone who is not just experienced but genuinely cares about their happiness and health. I am committed to providing a safe and enriching experience for your pets while you are away. Part-time seasonal pet-care is what I’m offering. I can house sit pets for vacations or short trips that just require pets be taken outside or a walk. I have 11 years of pet ownership experience, and from that I am confident that I can handle most any of the needs of others pets.

“I cannot recommend Matthew enough for his exceptional care and attention to detail when it comes to taking care of furry friends. Knowing that your beloved pet is being looked after with such love and care allows you to enjoy your time away without worry. I loved the pics provided and updates. He really made him feel loved and part of his family while dropping in.”

About: Quick note for new clients - please do NOT request me unless you can respond back within 24 hours or are unsure about plans/wanted arrangements. I genuinely mean no offense, but I am tired of being given requests where the client doesn't answer back. I can only have a certain # of requests at a time and when you don't respond, you take away other people's ability to book with me! Please be considerate of my already established clients and other possible new clients. Please and thank you. Hello there and let me give you an introduction towards my experience and me as a person👋 Experience wise I have raised over 45+ foster care animals in my family household growing up ranging from Pugs to Rottweilers to Great Danes to Belgian Malinoise to Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to GSP's and many more breeds, have previously petsit for friends and family, and I also have professional experience from my previous job working at Country Estate Kennel in Shiloh for about half of a year as an Animal Technician. I am experienced in dog bathing, low level grooming (brushing, combing, light trimming, removing matted fur/hair), and so forth. I am familiar with giving medication if your pet has that as a requirement, such as seizure medication, diabetic medication, and so forth. I also will give walks for each animal if preferred for free for your pet if you are booking me for house sitting, and lastly I also do trimming of nails as well. What else could you ask for from a pet sitter!?😁 I am glad to offer truly professional care, while maintaining a good relationship with my clients as I understand that our pets are like our children to us, and if they are to be under my care, I am to see them and take care of them as though they were my very own pets such as my girlfriend's Foxfire Lab and my Mongolian Gerbil. When it comes to my schedule/availability I update my schedule regularly every few days. I do not accept drop-in's or dog walking before 11 AM or after 8 PM. I do not do physical meet and greet's unless you have already booked with me for the request, if you are unsure about your plans, please do a online video chat with me here through the Rover app. My availability for meet and greets are anytime before 11 AM and after 5 PM. I am unavailable on the 18th of every month as I am always out of town on that day. Those are my only restrictions on bookings. When it comes to dogs, as much as I love and adore them, sadly I have not owned one myself since my sophomore year of highschool after my childhood dog Gabe passed away from Cancer. He lived to reach the age of 13, and was always happy and well taken care of. We made sure to properly feed him to keep him at a good BMI, made sure he went outside and got proper exercise by running around in the backyard or playing with toys together such as tug of war with rope. He was beyond well taken care of and spoiled. When it comes to your pet I would like to be told what behaviorisms and daily rituals they are familiar with in your household to make them most comfortable and what they're favorite activities are so I can make the most out of your pets experience in being taken care of and give them a safe and happy experience. I do currently own 2 Gerbils named Hiro and Rain who are very much spoiled and well managed on their health, and also share in taking care of my girlfriend's Firefox Lab who is a bundle of energy. Currently she is in training for hunting and is just as equally spoiled as my Gerbils.

About: Please use my promo code… https://www.rover.com/sit/rosal48641 I have a Great Pyrenees and am used to large dogs and no issue handling smaller pets as well. I periodically watch pets for friends and family. Distance and time are very flexible most days. Let me know if you need assistance and I can find a way to make it work. Periodic walks are necessary for pets of all sizes and for humans as well. :) Favorite part of my day with my Pyrenees is long walks and sunshine.

About: (I prefer to go by Rori) Before my kennel experience, I have watched over many neighbors dogs over the years! They bring me so much joy, having a dog in my life is a must! And, if I cannot have one myself, at least I can bring joy into another’s dogs lives while their owner is gone!!! Having worked at a boarding kennel and rescue for nearly 2 years now, I have spent a large amount of my pet care experience dealing with dogs at their most vulnerable. Because of this, I am very familiar with how to comfort and care for many different dog temperaments and breeds! I know how to respect their boundaries and keep your pets at as much ease as I can bring them :) Because of my boarding experience, I have worked with puppies under a year old, and senior dogs of all kinds of breeds. I understand how to accommodate and console older dogs: with lots of love and patience. I have encountered dogs who are aggressive in many forms: from people and/or dog aggressive to barrier and fence aggressive. I’ve handled dogs that react to nerves in various manners whether it be scared and cowering or more disagreeable. While I do not anticipate this behavior to be as extreme as what I saw in a kennel environment (where everything is new and abnormal) I do think this experience allows me to be adept at handling dogs through all their stages and kinds of discomfort. While at the kennel, I was also tasked with caring for our rescues. Housing 5-10 rescues at a time, I became very familiar with how to care for and bond with so many dogs. Taking the time to truly know and understand these rescues is my absolute favorite thing about working at the kennel! I have trained these dogs and made a point of learning how to handle even the most difficult of our rescues!! Socializing these dogs, helping them find peace and consistency in an otherwise chaotic environment fills me with purpose. I love them. I have so much love for these animals that I can’t possibly contain it!!! So, I would like to share it :) Having just moved to Illinois, I am available and willing to work anytime on weekdays until 4 PM to walk, watch and play with your fur babies!! I can work weekends sometimes :) I LOVE walking dogs!!! I’m happy to take them with me on walks in my neighborhood, your neighborhood, or to various parks!! Feeding, playing, and engaging with these sweet animals is something I am more than familiar with doing having taken care of the kennel dogs for so long now.

About: I had a senior chihuahua of my own and have helped care for a variety of small to medium dogs for friends and family. I’m familiar with the unique needs of senior pets and have experience handling reactive behavior—especially on walks. My own dog had reactive tendencies, so I’ve learned how to manage challenging situations calmly and with care. I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m currently working full-time, but I usually have free time in the afternoons or evenings to care for our furry friends and help out as needed. I am flexible and willing to work with different hours. I always prioritize safety and respect in every environment, whether I’m in your home or out on a walk. I follow all special instructions and rules you have for your pets to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Building trust—with both pets and their owners—is always my top priority.

About: I have house and pet sat for many families over the years. Creating a safe, happy atmosphere for families is one of my true joys in this world. I love being able to help make sure people can go about their lives knowing their fur babies are safe and cared for. I believe in positive reinforcement and loving practices. Dogs have their quirks just like we humans do and I believe in taking the time to work and love each individual for who they are. I happily put that care into my own animals and am more than happy to help do the same for yours. I have recently moved to the area and am a stay at home pet mom! I am lucky to be flexible enough to create whatever type of schedule is necessary. I am happy to adhere with your household’s everyday practices. Crate? Great! Sleep in bed? I love fur baby cuddles! I am happy to supervise play in your fenced yard, or leash up for potty time.

About: I’ve had many pets throughout my life! I’ve had dogs, cats, a bunny and a hedgehog! I’ve worked for an independent pet sitter before! I’ve taken a couple training classes with my own fur babies so I know a little bit about training. I’ve helped nurse kittens as well! I work M-F 8am-5/6pm & have weekends off. I do sometimes change my work schedule around for pet visits so I charge a cancellation fee for cancellations that are 2 days before. My own pets are kenneled throughout the day when no one is home. They go outside regularly about every 2 hours when someone is home. I feed them early morning & when I get home from work. We work through our training exercises daily! I take care of my clients pets however they have asked me to and treat them as if they are my own fur babies! Your pets will know nothing but love & fun when I’m with them!

About: Southern Illinois born and raised! I’ve been around animals all my life and have loved every second of it, from puppies to seniors I have all around experience. Tend well to schedules, love walking and playing with the fur babies! I am currently a stay at home mom to my sweet two year old little girl. My husband is in the Marine corps and we just moved back after 7 years of being gone from Illinois and now stationed on Scott! With my husband’s schedule I have the flexibility of doing what I love and that’s carrying for the fur babies! My house is a two story with baby gates at the top and bottom stairs. I have a fenced in yard, with two precious little fur babies. If you crate your animal my laundry room is on the main floor of the home and is quite spacious for crates or if you allow free roam the downstairs is where your little one will be!

“Phillip is such an amazing young man. KUDOS to whoever raised him in this generation. My little Devyn just loves him and so do I . He texted exactly on time and was here exactly on time. I will be booking him weekly. Thanks Phillip”

About: Growing up my mom was a professional dog trainer so we always had different dogs in the house. I learned how to do everything from basic care to in depth trick training. My friends, family, and neighbors have always relied on my to care and train their dogs ever since I was young. I have a puppy, an almost 2 year old, and a senior dog in my own home so I am able to care for any age. I am currently a student but there is always someone available to care for the animals in my home. Typically I leave home by 8am and return by 1pm every week day. I am home in the evenings and all weekend. I have a fenced in yard and three friendly dogs that love to play. I have plenty of dog toys and bones to keep everyone busy and happy. All dogs must be up-to-date on vaccinations in order to stay.

About: I’ve taken care of all types dogs for awhile now. I also have a dog of my own who is trained and great with other pups. In my neighborhood I have watched/ walked many pups. I am currently in the military and work full time. I live on base so I am able to take take them out mornings afternoons and evenings & spend a lot of time in between with them! I only do care in my home for boarding. I have a fenced yard and also have a dog of my own. If needed I also have space if you prefer to have your pup crated .
