About: I love animals and have a pretty flexible schedule for boarding, care-taking, or walking services. I love being outdoors but am also a home body at heart, which is why boarding is very fun for me. I’m a teacher, so summers and breaks during the year are great times I can commit a lot of for pet care. I also get off work earlier than most, so I would be around for early afternoon walks. I’m home most weekends which is when boarding would work best for me. I don’t have any other pets at my home so there would not be any issues with other animals. I am also very trustworthy if needed to be at a client’s home.

About: Hi nice to meet you all! I started doing Rover because I use to work in vet med and have missed getting to work with animals and their owners. I love working with animals and greatly enjoy the time I spend with them. I do work full time so I do Rover on my off days and before/after my full time job. I have experience caring for not only dogs and cats but small pets also(this includes parrots, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, rats, mice, gerbils). I am always available to answer questions to pet parents about how their pet is doing in my care, and willing to accommodate additional care instructions as well. While your pet is in my care you will receive a Rover card from each visit/stay with photos provided. I am trained in pet CPR and have experience with senior pets and any medication needs that your pet may have. I am also experienced with shy pets as well and will always allow your pet to take their time to get to know me and warm up to me. My number one goal is that your pet is comfortable, happy and healthy while in my care. I do require a meet and greet to ensure that your pet is comfortable with me and a good fit as well. House Sitting. I have recently reopened up house sitting services in your home. I am available each day to ensure your pets and home are taken care. walks if asked for by the owner(no additional charge for these!), play time, food and water checks and any medications administered if needed. Small Pet Care I also have experience caring for small pets and birds if you need your small furry or feathered ones looked after while you are away. I have experience with birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, rats and mice. Care for these guys will include food and water checks, attention and if needed a spot clean of their cage as well, along with any medications needed if these are required. Boarding/Day Care I have just opened up boarding and daycare(daycare only on select days when I am not working my full time job). Boarding requirements include any dog under 35lbs due to having cats that can be skittish around larger dogs. Your dog must get along with cats and small animals and be okay with being home alone for a few hours a day. Up to date on vaccines and a trial visit will be required to ensure your dog is a good fit to stay with us. Dog Training. I am currently finishing a course through Good Pup offered by Rover and am so excited to be offering training to existing and new clients once I complete my certification! I do work full time but I do have availability before and after work to care for pets and am available on my off days as well for pet care. I will always ensure to respect your home and ensure it is in the same condition as when you left your pet in my care.

Haily was absolutely wonderful, and I can’t recommend her enough! She took care of my 14 year old Maltese Poodle, Sisco, for a week while I was in Colorado, walking him twice a day and making sure he was fed and well cared for. Normally, I have family watch him because he tends to get anxious when I’m away, so I was a little nervous leaving him with someone new. Haily completely put my mind at ease. She was so kind and patient with him, and it was obvious from all the updates, photos, and detailed commentary that she genuinely cared about him. Seeing how happy and comfortable Sisco looked in every picture meant so much to me. It made being away from him so much easier, and I knew he was in great hands. Thank you, Haily, for taking such amazing care of my little guy. I would absolutely book with you again!

About: Hi there! I'm a proud cat parent of 3+ years, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. From feeding and litter cleaning to playtime and snuggles, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and right at home while you're away. While I don’t have a dog of my own (yet!), I’m confident in my ability to give your pup the same level of care and attention. Every visit is filled with love, patience, and thoughtful updates to give you peace of mind. Your fur babies are in kind, capable hands 🐾💛 I’m a full-time college student and also work part-time, but I always make time for pet care! I’m available Monday through Thursday after 4 PM and can occasionally accommodate weekend bookings with some notice. I own two sweet cats—Luna, who’s calm and quiet, and Star, who’s playful and full of energy! I have tons of cat toys and love keeping them happy and loved. My whole family are cat lovers, and we treat our pets like they’re part of the family. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable.

About: Full-time dog walker & house sitter in Joliet, IL, focused on reliable, structured care. I’m especially comfortable with high-energy dogs that need more than a quick bathroom walk, as well as senior pets who benefit from patience, consistency, and calm handling. My goal is simple: keep your pet’s routine stable and send clear updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I currently have full-time flexibility. I’m available mornings, midday, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I structure my day around your pet’s needs to ensure consistent attention and reliable service. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions carefully and maintain your pet’s normal routine for feeding, exercise, and medications. I prioritize safety, secure leashing, proper entry and exit protocols, and close supervision at all times. Your home is treated with respect, and your pet’s well-being is my first priority.

About: I've almost always had a furry pet since I can remember and I've always had a strong love of animals. I've been caring for my multiple dogs, cats, horses and reptiles since I was a young teenager and enjoy every minute of it. I'm also a veterinary technician so I'm very familiar with administering medications and dealing with chronic medical conditions, sick or senior pets. I too enjoy walking and being outside and I believe this would make me a great fit if your high energy dog or puppy needs to get out and let loose whether it be playing or going for a walk. I am looking forward to meeting you and your four legged fur babies and getting to know them as well!

About: Hi there! I'm Steph - a compassionate pet care provider with a deep love for animals. I grew up with multiple pets, and currently have two cats that fill my life with so much happiness. I’m an outdoor enthusiast with a big heart who finds peace and happiness in nature.

I would be open to giving whatever type of care each unique pet needs. I can help administer medication, give potty breaks, and ensure the pet feels safe and loved.

About: We have experience locally with taking care of all breeds of dogs, from 180lb gigantic breeds to small, toy breeds, there really isn’t a walk that’s too tough or too short, happy to treat them like my own! I currently work locally, in Shorewood by Mariano’s so I am local to the area. I work there in the mornings but am available through the day and into the night! I work from home the other days of the week and also have 2 daughters that drive if I’m ever in a pickle I have a fenced yard, if it’s in home, but I do have cats so it would have to be the right fit as I can’t have anyone getting hurt.
