“Bridget did an awesome job with Ardal! She took great care of him and sent me a few updates, which I appreciated. I have a very tired, very happy pup and will definitely be requesting future daycare appointments!”

“Danielle did an amazing job! It was our first time using Rover and leaving our dog somewhere and she made the process as smooth as could be. She walked us through her house , how she handles the dog , and was so patient with us and answered all our questions. Oscar had a blast and can't wait to book her again!”

“We are so lucky to have found Alex & her family. Freyja seems to love to spend time with them and I think she looks forward to her visits. She always comes home happy & tired!”

“Robyn is exceptional with animals, and particularly the 4 legged kind! She has sat my pitty on several occasions while away on vacation. My fur baby always gets full attention from her and seems happy and comfortable at her home. I’ve known Robyn to not only feed dogs that need it, but bathes strays and gives flea baths out in the Dominican Republic. Personally, she’s helped homeless here in Chicago and shelters for battered women. She is all around a caring person. You won’t be disappointed with her care.”

“Leslie has watched my Yorkie a couple of times while I’ve been away on vacation and I had no worries! Drop off and pick up went great and I could tell she was well cared for, I will use her again!”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs all my life! They are always my favorite people and the best at brightening your day. I don’t currently have a dog but I miss them, I am happy to be around them and have experience with all basic tasks of feeding, walking and playing and cleaning up. I am currently between jobs, so I am widely available outside of dropping off and picking up my daughter from school. I would ideally like to take care of pets during the day but I am flexible. We have a fenced in yard for your dog to run around in safely. I have also been trusted to take care of friends dogs while they are away, coming in to feed them, and either let them out in their yard or take them for a walk or to a dog park. I always prefer instructions to follow, just in case your dog has a particular timed routine, diet or other needs.

“Kaitlyn has been a loving dog caregiver for the longest. This started with her childhood dog and the pup (Kova) she got when I first met her in college. We brought Kova with us everywhere. Kova even became my puppy's best friend, when I got her my third year in college. Kaitlyn was able to teach my puppy tricks, before I could even get her to do so. She showed responsibility by letting her out while I was at work, getting some extra playtime outside, making sure she always had food, water, and lots of treats. She always took care of my puppy like she was her own. I am confident she will do the same for others!”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs for years from as big of a Newfoundland to as small as chihuahuas! Ive raised 2 of my own dogs since they were 3 months old so I do have puppy training. Ive been trusted with a regular client to care for her senior dog giving him the right meds at the right time. I care for my chickens, cat, and bunny as well as dogs. I love all kinds of animals and own a few different kind, hoping I expand my mini farm some day. I’m currently working Tuesday-Saturday getting off between 12-3 so plenty of time to play with your pets after work on those days! Sundays and Mondays i’m off all day for babysitting or day care just to get your pets out of the house! I do not have a fenced in yard BUT I will keep an eye on your animals walk them on leash and/or long leads. I could always put up a quick kennel outside! I have a dog that goes everywhere with me even to work (groomers) and he LOVES other dogs and could keep your dog company. I could also crate your dogs IF NEEDED (with owners permission).

“Alex is an amazing dog handler. I can say that simply having my dog with her once a week for a few months led to a noticable improvement for on leash walking skills. Awesome communication and my dog always runs up to greet her for their day together.”

About: I’ve taken care of three personal pets as well as pets of family members as well, including aunts, cousins and even my grandma. I’ve take care of most of them since they were babies and helped train them as well. I currently work full-time at Riverside medical center. My off days are Thursdays for one week and Tuesdays and the weekends for the next. I would be free anytime after 3 on my workdays and my off days are free game and I’d be willing to fill in anytime. My pet at home is properly taken care of and fed. We do periodically potty breaks and feed her whenever she wants food. Also, she’s given baths from time to time as well.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little, we had dogs in the house growing up and my husband had dogs of his own as well. We are family that treat our pets just like family they're our fur babies. I currently am not working this summer and during the school year I make my own schedule. With that being said I will definitely be able to accommodate many different schedules. I have a big yard for your pet to run around in and 2 dogs to keep other dogs company. I also have a kitten to keep other kittens company.

About: I have had animals apart of my life since I was born! Although we do not currently own any pets since we love to travel we love taking part of pet sitting and dog walking! We started asking our neighbors if we could spend some time with their pups after seeing our son was scared of dogs as a simple way to help introduce him into the world of joy that comes with owning a dog. And throughout the process we got to meet so many different dogs and fell in love with learning all the different personalities and quirks each dog had. Since my fiancé and I both work from home we thought why not look into doing this more regularly! Which lead us to joining Rover! So here we are ready to help our neighbors with any of their pet needs! Looking forward to spoiling your fur babies! From my pack to yours, I can’t wait to hear from you! It's important to note that every pet is unique, and their individual needs may vary. Owners should tailor their routines to accommodate their pet's specific requirements, age, breed, and health conditions. Flexibility and adaptability are key to ensuring the well-being and happiness of your pet within your daily or weekly schedule. Initial consultation: Meet with the client to discuss their pet's routine, dietary needs, medical history, and any specific instructions. Take note of emergency contact information and inform the client about your availability. Maintain the pet's routine: Stick to the pet's established schedule for feeding, walking, playtime, and medication administration, if required. Consistency helps reduce stress for the pet. Safety and security: Ensure that the home is secure and that the pet cannot escape. Keep an eye out for potential hazards, such as open windows, toxic substances, or small objects that the pet could ingest. Exercise and play: Provide the pet with sufficient exercise and mental stimulation according to their needs. Take dogs for walks, engage them in play, or follow any specific exercise routines requested by the client. Food and water: Follow the client's instructions regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, and dietary restrictions. Ensure that fresh water is always available. Monitoring and interaction: Spend quality time with the pet, offering companionship, affection, and socialization. Observe their behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, reporting any concerns to the client.

“Joshua is the most determined person I’ve ever met. He is intelligent but most of all he uses that intelligent well to be very clear. However, he does have his flaws. He has a confidence, although well-founded, it is hard to overlook. However, when you need him to be there he will be there.”

“Alisha has helped us out by coming to our house to look after our two labradoodles (and other pets). She is dependable and does exactly what we ask. I recommend her!”
