“Jamie was terrific!! Always on schedule and sending videos and photos. I would highly recommend her.”
About: Hello! I’ve worked at a doggy daycare for a year and a half! I have experience with feedings, giving different types of medicine, and handling! I work full time as a child welfare assistant! My schedule is pretty flexible. Afternoons work best for my schedule! I’m always open for discussing mornings! I have had pets my whole life, and have a lot of experiencing with caring for animals. I would treat them as if they’re my own!
“Excellent communication and Kimberly did a great job with all of my requested items. Thank you for making my vacation less stressful! I will definitely use Kimberly again!”
About: I’ve always had dogs when it came to growing up. My family thought it was only natural to have them! I grew up living amongst 5 Great Danes. I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds! I’ve had dogs that weigh almost twice as me, and dogs that can fit into purses. I have over 10 years of experience with reactive dogs, since my pittie is very selective of other dogs. I have over 15 years of experience with puppies and training them as well! I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday. 6:30-2:30. After that, I’m available for the rest of the day to let out, walk, feed, and take care of any pets. On the weekends, I am fully available, all day and all night! I care for my pets like they’re my own babies. We don’t have a fenced in yard, but I have one dog that is off leashed trained, and the other that must be on a leash at all times. Which means we go on walks around the property daily! I have an entire room dedicated to the bunnies, and the cat gets the whole house, along with the dogs.
“Danae was a sweet person and my fur babies loved her. I would recommend her 100% to anyone.”
About: My experience ranges from all ages of dogs including seniors, 5 years, puppies etc. I have dog sat over night for as long as a week, a few hours, and walk dogs for around an 1hr. I dedicate my weekends to pet care; however, am available for dog walking certain days during the week. Times can be given or discussed based on need! I ensure the safety of each dog I care for by following instructions and routines shared with me prior to arrival. I do request these details to be shared before I begin care and all other concerns can be communicated through a call, messages, or a form of communication.

Not only do I have knowledge on animals, but I also have a strong passion and love for all of them!

I'm currently working a full-time job Monday through Friday 6:30am to 4pm and Saturdays 6am to 11am. I am available during the evenings starting 5pm and on Sundays. When it comes to care for your pets my top priority is creating a safe, calming atmosphere where they are free to be themselves. Proper play, some lite grooming, and a variety of other services are provided in my care.
“This was my first time using the Rover website to book housesitting. I was pleased to find many local sitters that were available and reached out with my trip details. Priscilla was one of four that met my requirements and luckily I chose her. She stayed at my home for a week and took excellent care of my three high-maintenance cats. She also reliably took care of little things like the getting the garbage out on time , feeding the outside birds and squirrels , and taking care of the outside 'community' stray cats that often stay near my home. I couldn't recommend her more highly. I am a 55yo professional with many full-time direct employees, so I can really appreciate a good employee. I'll be reaching out to Priscilla again without hesitation when the need arises.”

About: Hello! I'm new to Rover, so please bare with me as I develop this profile. I have a bachelor's in finance, and am looking to leave the corporate life behind for a more meaningful career. I'm currently looking to build a book of business around pet walks and sitting as I work on my e-commerce start-up business. I'm located in Albany Park in a 2 bedroom apt that has a fenced yard surrounding the building. I have a 55 lbs German Shepherd mix along with 2 cats aged 5 and 13. All three are, surprisingly, social and enjoy traveling to visit my family over the holidays. I have a reliable car, so I'm able to assist with pick-up and drop-off for an extra charge. Do you need a service that isn't listed? Feel free to message me, and I'm very willing to help out in those other areas. Thank you for checking out my profile and have a lovely day.
