About: I've had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. Whether your dog is energetic and adventurous or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they receive attentive care, plenty of affection, and a safe, comfortable experience while you're away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As a cat owner and experienced pet sitter, I'm used to planning my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, medication schedules when needed, and plenty of attention. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to provide consistent, reliable care that helps pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet's schedule, preferences, and needs. In a client's home, I provide attentive care that includes feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, litter box or potty breaks, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection. I treat every home with respect and keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“Kayla was a wonderful sitter - very communicative, really thoughtful, and was the sweetest with our pup. Highly recommend!”

About: Although I have no professional experience working with dogs, growing up I have owned several. As a result, I have turned into a huge dog lover, and I am very comfortable around all breeds and sizes. In addition, I have handled dogs with varying types of demeanor from some that are more nervous and submissive, as well as those who are more dominant. I treat and love every dog I meet as if they were my own. :) I actually did Rover for several years, but took a break as I moved to the UK for a bit. I'm back in the Chicagoland area now though as I figure out next steps, which means lots of time for walks, playtime, and snuggles as I navigate the minefield that is LinkedIn. I'm always happy to check in throughout the day with pictures and videos as I want to make sure you feel confident that your dog is properly taken care of while you're away. Please reach out if you have any further questions! Other languages: fluent in American Sign Language, conversational in Spanish. As mentioned, I'm currently readjusting to being back in the States after living overseas for a few years. As of right now, I've got very open availability. I'm currently unable to have pets in my home. But I'm happy to meet your fur baby where they are and follow whatever routine they've got set. Just let me know!

About: I've had my share of pets since I was probably about 6 years old and my love kept growing with them. I currently have 3 pets; 2 dogs (Pitbull and a Doberman mix) and a cockatiel. They are my world, along with my husband and 7-year-old twins. I work part-time so I can do late mornings, evenings, and/or weekends to fit your needs. I have a 4-hour break in between my morning work routes and I am off of work by 5 pm. How I care for my pets in my household, may be different from your house. I am able to adhere to any and all rules for your fur babies.

“Haily was awesome, she took great care of our dogs. She spent time with them in the basement during a tornado warning. My golden Is very afraid of storms and is not fun to be around during them but Haily took it in stride. She communicated with us while we were gone and sent pictures. Would definitely highly recommend her.”

About: I have had my own two dogs and also have cared for friends' pets including walking, feeding, and administering medication. I have also stayed overnight to care for pets. I help care for my elderly parents so my schedule is mostly flexible. I am at church Saturday evenings from about 4-7 so I am unavailable then. I am patient with pets and upon meeting them I let them see for themselves that they can trust me by sniffing me or whatever they need to do. With my own dog I always make sure he is safe and well cared for.

About: Animals have always been my happy place. I have two dogs and a cat of my own, so caring for animals is part of my everyday life. I’ve also helped family and friends by letting their dogs out, taking them on walks, and caring for them while they were away, including keeping a friend’s dog in my home for a week during vacations. While I’m new to Rover, I’m dependable, patient, and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently work part-time Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Outside of those hours, I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting. I’m also available most Thursdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any routines your pet is used to. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

“Elizabeth was so helpful taking care of our two dogs while we were away! She didn't just let them out, but also walked them and was super communicative about how they were doing. We are so grateful for all her help and felt very confident our pups were well cared for in our absence.”

“Alison was great to work with. We appreciated her flexibility with our schedule, was very responsive and sent pics of our fur baby. Everything was neat and in order when we got back home and Keke looked very happy. We will definitely use Alison for future bookings.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have three large dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience helping raise and train puppies, including one who recently turned one year old, and I’m comfortable with everything from feeding schedules and administering medications to walks, playtime, treats, and cleaning up after pets. As a student-athlete home for the summer, I’d love to spend my extra time caring for animals and giving them the attention they deserve. My love for pets started at a young age—I even ran a homemade dog treat business to help earn money for my first two puppies! Since then, I’ve always enjoyed spending time with animals and treating them like family. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility throughout the day to provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and companionship. As a student-athlete, I’m used to managing a busy schedule and staying organized, so I always make sure pets receive reliable and consistent care. Between work shifts and practices, I have plenty of availability to give pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I believe pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on providing care in my clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and lots of love and attention. My goal is to keep pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I do not offer boarding in my home, but I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, walks, and in-home care tailored to your pet’s needs.

“Jorden was very nice. He took good care of the dogs. There weren't messes to clean up when we got home. We were very happy with our choice to have him watch our pets. we would do it again.”

About: I’ve overnight babysat puppies and dogs and have fostered cats and kittens with the lovely organization Anticruelty. I’m currently taking care of my three fur babies. I’ve personally trained my dog Koda basic and more advanced commands, (sit, stay, paw, bow, speak, wait, high five, to potty on a potty pad and outside, etc.) I’m on the road to success with my other dog Zulu. He has achieved commands like sit, stay, roll over, paw, down, being potty trained, etc. Additionally, I’ve worked with my cat Darla on not getting on countertops, no curtain climbing, no couch scratching and being gentle with humans around her! I currently work a part time job as a swim instructor as well as attending school as a senior. Weekends work best for me but weekdays are doable! If you’re willing to work with what i’ve got, i’m willing to work with you and compromise! I strongly believe in respect and security. No matter what, I will treat you and your fur baby with the respect that I would want my own to be treated with. I would never purposely violate the privacy you’ve entrusted me with. Besides that, I have a fenced in yard and two very social dogs to keep your fur baby company!

“Clarissa too great care of my dog AND house! Highly recommend!”
