Personalized care for your dog or cat - Fairfield

About: For most of my life, I grew up on a farm full of a variety of animals. We owned chickens, cows, pigs, goats, ducks, geese, horses, and sheep. On top of that, we also kept many dogs and cats around too. Due to this, I grew up loving all my animal companions and practicing the best ways to care for our furry friends. I now live in an apartment with just my two cats but take with me my past experience of two years working at a vet clinic as a ward attendant, participating in dog walking, administering medications, and other general animal care. Currently, I am looking for ways to fill my free time with a little extra animal love, as I am someone who likes to always be busy doing something for others. With my current job as a teacher, my schedule is pretty strict, unfortunately. However, my evening availability can be very flexible. I could be available from 5 pm to 10 pm during the weekdays and then free all day during weekends. Therefore, if you need my help with your furry family member, I would be glad for you to use my low-priced services offered ranging from walks to house sitting to drop-in visits! I am a teacher and will be working every weekday from 7 AM to 4 PM. Expect that availability for me will change during winter and summer breaks. In my home, I have two cats that are experienced with dogs and other cats. We have multiple rooms so if a door needs to be shut for an animal's privacy while in my care, that can be done.

“My Stoney had a amazing time, I had a short notice trip and Jodeci was able to watch her no problem, Chloe and Roxii were the great host! I appreciate that she tagged me in videos through the entire stay and I would book her again with no hesitation.”

“Stewart was able to accommodate us last minute for a few hours of doggie daycare while we met up with old high school friends in Ottuma. Stewart and his dog, Sophie were both great. Stewart sent pictures and had a large fenced back yard and a lot of toys for Maddie to play with. Callie felt at home and cuddles on Stewart with Sophie while Maddie napped among the toys LOL. THANK YOU Stewart for making us feel comfortable and taking great care of our babies.”

About: I grew up on a farm, so I've always been surrounded by animals and have developed a natural ability to care for them. This experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and a strong understanding of animal behavior. I’m not only comfortable with dogs of all ages but also have experience handling puppies and providing senior dog care. I work from home, which allows me to give your pet my full attention throughout the day. With a flexible schedule, I'll be the one taking care of your pet personally, ensuring they get plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. We have a dog at home and an unfenced yard, but we're just one block away from a dog park, so your pet will have plenty of opportunities for outdoor play and exercise. If needed, we can crate our dog to ensure safety and comfort during your pet's visit. We always prioritize the well-being of all pets in our care and will adjust our home environment as needed to meet your pet's needs.

About: Hello, I have lots of experience caring for pets. I also have a lot of flexibility and would be willing to work with you and your fur friends. I am able to do walks, drop ins, play time, feeding and overnight or longer term care. As well as cleaning up after pets and bath times. I have much flexibility. I’m able to work most days, especially with notice. The more ahead of time notice I get the better I can prepare. I have 4 cats and we do feeding time 2-3 times a day. We clean litter boxes daily. We also try to incorporate play time with each one wheneve possible. With clients, it will have to be at their home, I am able to do feeding, cleaning, excercise and play. As well as spending time frames when needed so they aren’t lonely for too long.

“Ali took great care of my 3 cats in Age 14 to 10 months. They have different needs but she made sure they were well fed and less stressed while I was out for vacation. I highly recommend her care.”

About: I have had my own pet sitting business since I was 10 and have watched and cared all different breeds and even cats! I have a lot of experience with large, high-energy hunting breeds and ensure that each pup gets enough exercise each day. My favs are the dog park and the beach! I also trained my golden retriever, Harper in agility! In my free time I love to volunteer at the animal shelter, to give back! So I have experience with pets with separation anxiety and those that aren’t friendly with other pets! I ensure all pet parents are updated with pictures and videos! I currently go to school in Iowa City and wanted to watch some pets over break! I am free for the entire break, Mid December-Mid January! Either in my home or the clients I keep a close eye on the pet! I ensure adequate exercise and keeping the pet out of trouble. When in the clients home I make sure that I am locking doors and can take care of other household chores like garbage, shoveling, and dishes!

About: With me, your pup gets more than a sitter they get a certified trainer, enrichment guide, and loving companion. I specialize in positive reinforcement and behavioral support to help dogs feel safe, seen, and celebrated. Walks and stays are filled with treats, agility strolls, massages, homemade goodies, and even arts and crafts (yes, paw print paintings included). Plus, they’ll get sweet companionship from my two Labradors, Roxii and Chloe. You’ll receive pro-quality photos, helpful tips, and high-touch care that goes far beyond the basics — because your dog deserves VIP love, every time. Pet care is part of my everyday lifestyle with full availability for evening walks, drop-ins, and training support. I am completely open for longer stays, enrichment sessions, behavior training, or doggy day experiences. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood or a full day of fun, your pup will have my full attention and care. Whether I’m welcoming your pup into my home or caring for them in yours, I create a safe, nurturing environment rooted in trust and routine. I follow your dog’s schedule closely, from feeding and potty breaks to play and rest and always keep their comfort and emotional well-being top of mind. At my home, pets have a cozy, calm space with supervised playtime, plenty of enrichment, and the loving presence of my two sweet Labradors, Roxii and Chloe. I keep a clean, organized environment and introduce all pets slowly and mindfully. In your home, I treat your space with deep respect and ensure your dog feels secure and at ease while you’re away. I maintain consistent communication, send updates with photos, and follow house rules exactly as you request. Above all, I show up with patience, presence, and care to building trust with both you and your dog.

About: I have always loved pets. I have had dogs in my home since I was 4 years old. I promise to care and love for your fur baby as if they were my own. I’m a teacher so I have summers off. I’d love to spend my summer in the sun playing, walking and caring for your pets. I have a pretty flexible schedule and would love to work with your sweet fur baby. I have a fenced in yard, and lots of space in my home for your pets to ply. I also have the ability to crate your pet inside if needed.

“Stewart responded to our request the evening before we had a golf scramble and needed someone to watch our 90 lb Bernedoodle. His little Sofie kept Reuben occupied and we felt comfortable knowing Stewart had a fenced in backyard for him to exercise.”

“Katie was super friendly, and Delilah seemed to have a blast! She sent us lots of pictures and an adorable little write-up about their time together.”

About: Animals love me. I have a lot patience and I reward with treats and affection. I’m semi- retired now but I used own a pet grooming business. I have 2 dogs Marlo and Harper, 1 cat and I live in Linden Heights. We do have cameras so you can check on your pet via camera, Snapchat or FaceTime. We walk at least once a day and if your dog likes to play frisbee or ball we also play once a day. The dog park is just about a mile away when we need a fenced in area. Let me know if you’d like to set up a meet and greet for you baby. I can do sitting or boarding for work or vacations. I’m semi retired And am home during the day. In the mornings, I take my dog on one to 2 mile walk. In the evening we play frisbee. I would be available to take the dogs to the dog park, which is only about a mile away or I would take them out on a leash. Our house is very secure. We have a security camera outside and we have a camera inside. The dogs would not be able to get out unless they were on a leash. I live in minimal trafficked area.

“Dana was wonderful with our dog! The atmosphere is very comforting for the dog to get adjusted and you can tell that the whole family are dog lovers. She sent us picture updates and we could tell he was relaxed. We would not hesitant for a minute to leave our little guy there again. Dana accommodated us last minute as well and it allowed us to go out for a celebratory dinner with our son. Great experience!”

About: I have loved animals my whole life. I have a French bulldog at home so I know how to take care of small dogs and medium dogs as well! I’m currently working part time so I can come by whenever they need. I work weekends from Friday to Tuesday so I can visit anytime during the week day and when I go before to work and after I get off and during my lunch break I can walk, feed and give your pet lots of love! I would treat them like my own! If they have any dietary things you would just have to let me know!

“Chloe provided excellent care for my dog! He is reactive and sometimes timid towards strangers but he warmed up to Chloe immediately. She was reliable and was always happy to hear instructions and updates. It was clear that she genuinely cared for animals and treated Professor Wigglebottom with kindness, she even went above and beyond by spending extra time cleaning Wiggy and areas of my apartment when he got sick one day (which she openly communicated to me about). Chloe has great communication and I appreciated all of her daily updates and pictures she sent, which kept me reassured while I was away. I am happy with Chloe's service and highly recommend her as a responsible and caring dog walker/sitter.”

Whether your animal is young and energetic or slowing down into their golden years, they'll get unhurried, thoughtful care tailored to exactly who they are. Stays and walks with me include lots of outdoor time, plenty of snuggles, and real one on one attention. I also have experience caring for senior dogs with specific needs, including joint issues, anxiety, medication routines, and sensory changes, so if your dog requires a little extra consideration, you're in the right place. You'll receive regular photos and updates, and the kind of peace of mind that comes from knowing your dog is with someone who takes this seriously. Every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. That's what I'm here for. I work remotely so care is available 24/7. Im around for walks morning & evening, and available to communicate and send pics throughout your pets stay.

I will send pics while you're gone so you can see what a wonderful time we're having together.

About: Free Meet & Greets! 🐶 Please feel free to reach out even if my calendar is marked as unavailable. I have a couple people who work for me that may be able to cover your needs! Like a lot of people on this app, I was raised around animals and created special bonds with them early in life. I’ve always been the type of person to protect and care for the innocent, animals being my first priority. (Not just pets, lots of wild animals like mice & toads trapped in the window wells around my neighborhood as a child!) I had 2 dogs in my home growing up, and rescued my own fur baby right out of high school! Last year I took in a foster kitten, who unexpectedly had 3 kittens in my home, and I cared for them for 8 weeks until they were old enough to find their forever homes. I’m here to offer some loving vibes, cuddles, and attention to your fur baby when you’re away and need someone to check up on them. I also have experience administering insulin & medication to cats & dogs. My availability is flexible. I’m currently going to school but have the freedom to decide what my schedule will look like. I can work around what you need! I treat all animals as if they were my own. I have a huge soft spot for older animals who need a little more attention and enough energy and patience to handle the younger ones!

About: I grew up with dogs, raised my kiddos with cats, and owned a homestead with cows, horses, chickens, rabbits, bees, an Australian Shepard and cats. I work at home, so my schedule is very flexible. I am available for early morning and evening. In addition to daytime visits, I am available for early morning or evening visits. I’m about as compassionate and trustworthy as you could find - I’ve actually been a surrogate mother for families that could not carry their (people) babies - more than once. And did I mention I adore dogs?

“Booked for dog walking and I am confident my dog also gives her 5 stars. My dog loved Ali immediately, first sight. Ali is attentive to her and clearly skilled with her. My dog is intelligent and PARTICULAR about leaving me. Notoriously bad at taking commands from strangers. When Ali arrived for just the second walk, my dog was loving her and ready to head out at the first sight of her. And my dog gets long walks every day the weather allows, so walking alone is not the draw here. Ali communicates beautifully with me as an owner, does great follow-up when she returns from the walk, and clearly loves what she does. No complaints in my house. I don't generally leave my dog care to anyone else, but Ali”

About: I have grown up caring for animals of all types (dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and more) and have previously worked with a local vet to further my passion for animals. Many family and friends have trusted me with the care of their animals through the past 10+ years. I have experience with basic training commands that I have learned from attending training classes with my own dogs with positive reinforcement methods. I am thankful to have a work from home job that I can spend time with my dogs every day. I am generally off work by 4:30 pm on weekdays and am not required to work on weekends. I have one wonderful dog at home. My home would provide the ability to play with other dogs, relax in the house, enjoy time outside in a fenced in part of our yard or on the closed deck with country views. If your dog prefers a crate or a run for some alone time throughout the day that can be arranged as well.

About: Hello I'm Zoe and I love to be active and walk my own dog around the lake at home and thought it would be great to do it on my free time when I'm away from my own furry friend. I have dog sat for two years for family friends and have taken care of my own puppy for 4 years. I am flexible with times and days. During the year I am a full time student at the University of Iowa. I am friendly and patient with all pets and will follow instructions carefully. I would love to help out and take care of your pet as much as I can and am excited to have this opportunity through Rover. I hope to fulfill my services with the utmost respect for your pet and home.
