Dog Sitting in Stickney

“Angelina was wonderful! She took great care of our elderly cat and had helpful suggestions for some of his ailments. We will definitely have her back again the next time we are traveling.”

About: I have always lived with dogs and love pet sitting for others! I aspire to be a veterinarian in the future because of my passion for animals. I interned at a vet clinic this past summer and gained valuable knowledge about pets and how to care for them. I have a very flexible schedule since I am currently home from college for the summer. I am available most days with a notice in advance. I have a fenced in yard and one dog at home. I will be able to walk and play with your dogs, as well as feed them if needed.

“James was great. He was able to come on short notice, did a “get acquainted” visit, and everything went well. I’d ask him back when future needs arise.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and truly understand how different each one can be. I raised a dog from a puppy, cared for a senior rescue dog, and even had a rabbit—so I’ve learned to be patient, gentle, and attentive to different needs. I currently have a Doberman, so I’m also used to handling larger, high-energy dogs. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits really well into my routine right now. I’m back home for the summer, so my schedule is very open. I have time to give pets the attention they need—whether that’s walks, or check-ins. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so making space for them in my day feels natural and easy. When I do walks or check-ins at a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, happy, and relaxed in their own space. I follow any care instructions closely—like feeding schedules, potty routines, or play preferences—and always give plenty of attention and affection. I treat their home with respect and make sure everything’s clean and secure before I leave.

“Gaby was great, as always!”

About: Hello my name is Almarelis Gallegos I have been a rovers sitter for while now since 2013.

About: I've had dogs in my family for as long as i could remember. And now i own a dog that i care for and love on my own but have always held a special place in my heart for all animals. I know how it feels to want nothing but the best for your fur baby and i want to do my best to provide that. Currently in between jobs from driving uber and lyft, to doing side jobs. Trying to leave more free time to take care of myself and wouldn't mind caring for animals. I understand what it's like to have a fur baby and the anxiety that comes with trusting a stranger to care and provide for them. And i want to feel like i can make a difference in this line of work to provide that sense of relief so that it could come back around for myself if i ever need care for my dog as well.

“Irena did a great job with our two cats and their difficult feeding schedule, while also sending a lot of updates. Would absolutely recommend.”

About: If you have an anxious dog or if you’re an anxious dog parent, then I’m probably the sitter for you. I have a fur baby of my own, my 1 year old beagle Pete, and he is an extremely energetic, mischievous, stubborn, and anxious little guy. I’ve raised Pete since he was 11 weeks old, so I know all there is to know about puppies and take caring for them very seriously. As someone who follows a pretty structured routine for an anxious dog, I know how important it is to stick to schedules and make sure pets are getting enough walks, enrichment, playtime, love, and attention to help them feel safe and settled while their parent is away. I’ve personally paid people a lot of money to care for Pete because I ask for a lot (literally down to leaving instructions to keep Gilmore Girls on the TV because he likes it lol), so trust me when I say there is nothing “too much” or “too specific” that you can ask of me. I completely understand how important routines and comfort are for our pets because I’m the exact same way with my own dog. I also have experience administering medications and caring for dogs after neutering and medical issues. Pete has dealt with prostate issues, so I’m comfortable handling medication schedules and paying close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and routines. It’s also worth mentioning that Pete, being a beagle, eats EVERYTHING and keeps me on my toes at all times. Because of that, I’ve become incredibly diligent, patient, observant, and adaptable. Some dogs are calm and cuddly, while others need more play, structure, patience, or stimulation and I’m comfortable adapting to all kinds of personalities and needs. As a dog mom myself I know how reassuring it is to get updates while you’re away, so I’ll happily communicate as much as you’d like. Expect lots of updates, photos, videos, and honest communication. I’m also never afraid to ask questions if I need clarification because I’d rather do things correctly than make assumptions. Most importantly, I want people to know I’m dependable and trustworthy. If you tell me your dog needs a 30 minute walk, we’re doing a full 30 minute walk. If your dog eats from a snuffle mat, has a specific bedtime routine, or can’t be alone after dark, I’m going to follow those instructions exactly as asked. I know how hard it is to trust someone else with your baby, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Right now I’m focusing on walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays in clients’ homes rather than bringing additional pets into my own home environment. Pet care already plays a big role in my daily routine, so I’m very comfortable maintaining structured schedules, walks, feeding routines, potty breaks, enrichment, and consistent care. I’m available throughout the day and evening Thursday through Sunday, and I also offer weekday availability Monday through Wednesday during early mornings and evenings. I’m dependable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I totally get how important trust and consistency is when someone is caring for your pet (I am that person that has given our dog sitter a 4 pager play by play of my puppy’s routine lol!). I’m very attentive to routines, safety, and following owner instructions closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, crate routines, medication, walks, enrichment, or household rules. I always prioritize keeping pets calm, comfortable, and secure in their familiar environment and will communicate regularly with updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I am so diligent with my own fur baby when it comes to structure but also play time and potty time- so when I say I’m going to ensure your pet has all those things I mean it! At this time, I focus on care in clients’ homes and individualized attention rather than bringing additional pets into my own home environment (my fur baby is definitely an only child lol).

About: I've owned and taken care of a multitude of pets from a young age, mostly stray dogs and cats, that my family took in. I'm especially comfortable around and handling strong, large dogs as some past breeds I've owned include a Rottweiler, Doberman, and Newfoundland. In my lifetime, I've also owned and cared for 10 different cats, as well as other animals including fish, rats, rabbits, and snakes. I'm currently working in the animal care field as a dolphin trainer and some individual dolphins I've cared for have reached 600+ pounds. That being said, no animal is too large or intimidating for me! This also means I have a really good understanding of animal behavior and psychology which is necessary for excellent animal care. I currently work 4 days a week, usually Saturday-Tuesday. The other days, I'm usually home most of the day doing schoolwork, except when I leave to go to the gym or grocery store. On days I work, I can't take dogs out as frequently, but I do come home during my lunch break to let my own dogs run around in the fenced in yard. I do have two huskies that your dog can socialize and play with while I'm at work. They are somewhat lazy and are very content to lounge while I'm away. I also leave on relaxing music when I'm at work and a large washable potty pad, just in case. The use of potty pads is highly debated, but I personally don't feel comfortable forcing pets to hold it for long periods of time, especially because I wouldn't do that to myself. On workdays, I take my dogs on long morning and evening walks and would be happy to bring your dog along. On days I'm at home, my pets are let out into the yard very frequently (~2-3 hours) to potty and play. When not playing in the yard, they're usually lounging, cuddling with me while I do my schoolwork, or playing with some sort of enrichment toy that I've provided. The home is out in the countryside on a large plot of land with lots of greenery and shade, and a fenced-in dog play area in the back. While I work, I typically take my dogs out to play in the yard. I will often sit out with my work laptop and watch them! I provide a very safe, relaxing environment where your dog will be treated like family. This also applies when I do house-sitting, drop-ins, and dog walks. I approach care with a proactive approach, rather than reactive. This means I always keep a close eye on individual pet behavior as subtle cues can indicate how a pet is feeling at a given moment. Many pet owners miss out on these cues, especially if they aren't trained to look for them. Overall, this means I try my best to create a safe environment for and trusting bond with any animal I work with via positive reinforcement and never push past an individual's limits.

About: I have always had animals growing up, both cats and dogs. In more recent years I have helped dog-sit for a few different types of dogs, including a few that needed extra care and needed medication. I am comfortable around all kinds of pets and so happy to help take care of yours! I am a full time freelance photographer, so my schedule is constantly changing. I do typically work odd hours so I’m more available during the typical work week to care for your pet! I have a fenced in yard and plenty of space in my home to accommodate your pet’s needs. I also am comfortable caring for pets in their home if needed.

“Justice is fantastic and took great care of my dog! I really appreciated the updates and her attention to detail. It made the whole experience stress-free and I would highly recommend her!”

About: I am currently a psychology student so I have a very flexible schedule which will help to accommodate any of my client's needs. I've had an intense love for animals ever since young childhood. I deeply adore animals of all kinds. It truly brings me the utmost happiness to provide services for dogs of any size or age. I grew up with dogs so I'm quite excellent at anticipating all their needs. I am an extremely hard worker so your dog will be my top priority whenever it is in my care. I will ensure that I care for them as intently as I can possibly can. I am very familiar with basic dog commands as well. All in all, I am more than excited to meet your 4-legged companion! 💛 I’m currently working remotely so I have a lot of availability and freedom in my schedule to take care of all of your dog's needs. I’m unable to take care of any pets in my apartment, unfortunately but I’m more than happy to take care of your pets every need to in your home!

“I had such a great experience with my Lizbeth! She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. What really stood out was her flexibility—when my flight got canceled, she kindly agreed to take care of my cat an extra day. That meant so much to me and truly showed her dedication and professionalism. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”

About: My name is Jessica-The Dog Sitter. I am 29 years old and I love dogs. I have had a dog as a family member since I was a little girl, so I have grown to love and care for dogs. I own 2 dogs of my own, Berlin and Bella which I love so much and I treat them more like family and less like my pets. I live in a house with my husband, Berlin, and Bella and are always willing to open our doors to welcome a guest (your pooch) for a few hours, a night or two or more.

About: I have always had various pets since childhood. I have had lots of experience walking multiple dogs at once including large and strong breeds such as pit bulls and huskies. I have 3 cats and a beaded dragon currently and I have has snakes and all sorts of rodents in the past. I love all fur and non-fur babies. I currently work another job but have a flexible schedule to work in dog walks and drop in visits into my day as needed. When taking care of an animal I always make sure I have ample time to spend with them and handle all of their needs. I provide dog walks, I can also walk cats for those with adventure cats. I have no issues feeding any pet including snakes, lizards, and fish. I love playing with all pets and can play inside or outside the home depending on the pet.

About: I have always been an animal lover and grew up with horses, dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with all kinds of animals and their needs. I have 1 small dog named Ben that I’ve had for 10 years so I understand the care that’s needed every day from walks to attention. I work a full time but flexible job that allows me to take breaks throughout the day for walks/care as needed and am predominately home but do leave for a few hours on some weekdays. I own my own house in Riverside with a big fenced in backyard. We keep everything put away and organized so there are no worries of curious noses getting in to anything

About: I have a 10 year old pit bull who I’ve had since he was a puppy. I’m a big pit bull advocate! I’m a big believer in “punish the deed, not the breed”. Although pitties have my heart I do love dogs of all kinds and love to talk to strangers whenever I see them out and about with their pups. I’m self employed so my schedule is pretty flexible throughout the weekdays and weekends during the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. As long as I have a couple days notice I can always move things around if needed. I have a fenced in wooden yard so your dogs can be outside with peace of mind knowing there’s no risk of them sneaking out as we keep the gates locked at all times since I have a dog of my own. In your home, I will follow the instructions given to me to take care of your pups.

About: With years of experience caring for dogs (mostly medium to small) I offer personalized, loving attention to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and cherished! My work-from-home setup allows me to provide morning, midday visits, and I have flexible evenings and weekends. Ill be able to balance existing commitments with pet care I have a small fenced back yard with a ranch style house. I have two parks nearby that we can walk to get extra exercise!
