“Bridget was absolutely amazing!!! We left our 3 year old German Shepherd with her for over a week and at first like all dog parents we were nervous, as it was our first time leaving him with someone we didn’t know. But we went and met with her and all was well. We are so happy with her service and she is so responsive! You can tell she has the best heart and loves your baby like her own!! We received photos everyday if not twice a day and Ruger played and loved all of her pups too! We will FOR SURE be using her services again and highly recommend her to all dog parents!! Thank you so much Bridget, Mr Ruger already can’t wait to come back and play!!! ❤️”
“Katie and her family were so amazing with our baby dog. She’s like a totally different pup! She doesn’t get upset in the crate, her bitting has dramatically dropped, and she’s much more claim throughout the day. I cannot thank her enough for taking ivy in on short notice and letting her be apart of her family. 10/10 would recommend!”
“I’ve used so many Rovers and she is absolutely fantastic. Takes care of my pup as if she were my own, and has a way better back yard for them to run around in. Great about photo and video updates, too. Highly recommend.”
“Ruby had a wonderful stay and made lots of new friends. I’m grateful to have a place where I feel comfortable leaving my fur baby and knowing she will be well taken care of 💕”
“Jennifer was amazing! She went out of her way to make my old dog comfortable and keep her calm. She hand fed her! I highly recommend Jennifer for long or short stays. We were on vacation for 15 days. The dogs were in the best hands.”
“Sylvie is truly a 5 Star sitter! Our pups enjoyed their 11 day vacation with Sylvie and her dogs and chickens! Sylvie took excellent care of our babies. Lots of exercise and plenty of love and attention. We've been back 2 days and our pups are still tired. We will definitely use Sylvie"s services again. Thank you, Sylvie. You're the best! 💞”
“Magda and her family are truly angels on earth. Their home is clean, calm, inviting, and happy. Rufus was instantly comfortable there which is no small feat with my nervous little dude. They treated him like their own during his stay, making sure he was warm, cozy, fed and happy, and she sent constant updates so I’d always know how he was doing. I cannot recommend them enough, and am so grateful to have found them on Rover. Thank you Magda and crew!!”

About: Hi! I’m Victoria. I grew up surrounded by cats, and 6 years ago my husband and I adopted Harley, our sweet little dog who completely stole our hearts. I know how important it is to feel confident and comfortable when someone else is caring for your fur baby. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give Harley. Whether your pet prefers playtime, cuddles, slow sniff-walks, or just gentle company, I’m here to match their needs and routine. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and happy at all times. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide regular walks, check-ins, playtime, and constant attention whenever needed. I prioritize safety and comfort in every home I care for. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep environments clean and secure, and provide constant supervision during walks and visits.
“Miriam and Terrell are the most kind people and will 200% love on your dog while you’re away!! ((So you don’t have to look any further at more profiles!!!!!)) Cooper our 20 month old Cavapoo stayed for a few days and it was our first time away. Not only did they update with photos and videos many times throughout the day but they sent home a report card letting me know how he ate and what he did. They really went above and beyond! Cooper didn’t want to play too much with the other dogs so Miriam had him cuddled by her desk throughout the day he was able to sleep with them at night. They truly love dogs and are some of the nicest people I’ve met!! Will always use them in the future !”
“We love leaving Ash at Renae’s when we’re going to be away. Ash loves playing with their dog Bailey, snuggling and sleeping in improbable locations, and always comes home happy and tired.”

About: I was always the go to person for pet sitting in my family. Growing up, we always had at least one dog in the house. And I was fortunate enough to have had one for 16 years. Her name was Bear. She was the best family dog anyone could ask for and I miss her very much. She is the reason I love taking care of animals so much. Recently, I have become very fond of cats and live with 2 of them. They have stolen my heart and take care of them every day. I also have two reptiles which are my whole world. No matter what animal, I would love to take care of them. I’m the sitter for you! I am in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is very flexible right now. I am very open and honest so I’m very willing to for the schedule that’s best for you and your pet! I am not offering services in my home. As much as I would love to, I rent and cannot have a lot of animals staying with me. I’m sorry for the inconvenience!

About: I have been taking care of family members & friends pets since I was 14. I have always been a huge animal lover, especially dogs! I always had dogs growing up that were a part of the family! I work full time as a teacher. I am available to pet sit on weekends anytime or weekdays after 3:30pm! I have breaks off as well, so am available anytime during winter + summer break!

About: I’ve worked with animals since 2022 in both boarding facilities and veterinary clinic settings. I have experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments, including seniors, shy cats, and those needing medications. My background helps me notice subtle changes in behavior or health, and I always take a calm, patient approach to earn their trust. What sets me apart is my ability to make even the most cautious cats feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.
“Sarah did a great job with our two cats - Bonnie & Clyde while we were away on vacation. We received daily updates from her about our babies and her communication with me while we were gone was excellent!! We will definitely be using Sarah again in the future. Thank you 😊”
About: Growing up I cared for my two dogs, an Australian cattle dog mix and a German shepherd. We loved them both to the ripe old ages of 16 and 12 respectively. In high school I spent my free time at the local animal shelter volunteering to walk and play with the various dog breeds. My entire life I have loved caring for all types of animals, so this is an amazing opportunity for me to meet even more. I am currently a college student attending school 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). All other days of the week I am free to be booked! My yard is big, but unfenced so I will have to have your dog on a leash for our walks and playtime. I do own a crate and can use it if necessary, but all the specific care instructions can be discussed individually.

About: My husband and I have a lot of experience caring for cats, dogs, and birds. I've been house sitting /animal sitting for around 7 years on the side. I absolutely love animals, and I've had experience caring for a large variety of them. I've watched 4 large dogs at a time, all of whom needed special medication and attention. I care for every animal like they're my own, and just absolutely love being around dogs. I have a spacious home and I am very attentive. I live in a safe neighborhood, and I am by my phone 24/7 so can be in contact with you at any time. I work remotely and sometimes have to go in to the office. My husband is almost always home, and we always make sure someone is at home to be with the animals. Care is always personalized to the dogs needs. We go for regular walks, follow any dietary restrictions, and always check with the pet-parent if there's anything else needed.
About: I love all the furry babies, my own fur babies are treated like my children. I work from home, so your baby would have my attention through the entire day. We would have time to play, walk, snuggle, and bond. I have a large fenced in back yard. Your baby would feel at home and comfortable in my home, they would have full access to roam and wander. They also would be allowed on the couches / beds for snuggles and belly rubs. I work from home, giving me the flexibility to ensure your pup has plenty of time and attention. I have an 11 year old son who is just as much as an animal lover. I have a large fenced in back yard. My foxy girl loves to get her zoomies out back there, and loves playing fetch. My son will love on, play, and engage with your pup also.
“Natasha is amazing! Our puppy Scout loves going there. He comes home happy and very tired! Natasha is always sending updates throughout the day & is always working with him. I would definitely recommend bringing your pups here!”
About: I have had dogs all my life & have taken care of friends & family’s pets. I tend to adopt “problem” dogs that other people can’t handle. I love a challenge & gaining the trust of the dog. I used to frequent the Dominican Republic to feed & give flea baths to the neglected street dogs out there. I’m currently working from home & was a bartender for the last 20 yrs but now looking for a new career with animals because they are my true passion. I just moved to the Gardner, Illinois for a bigger yard & a 6ft privacy fence to expand my dog sitting business. I also have a small pool for the dogs. I have lots of gates up throughout the house & different rooms I can put dogs in if any need to separated. I also have large crates I can use.
“It was my first time taking my Rocky to Jennifer. Jennifer was wonderful with Rocky and kept me posted throughout the day of how he was doing. Rocky was able to play with the other pups and sure got his exercise for the day. He was one pooped pup when he came home. We have Jennifer booked for a week for our vacation in August. I feel like Rocky is getting a vacation too! Lots of fun and socialization.”

About: I have a lot of experience with dogs as both an owner and as a foster home/parent. I recently had a foster dog that was used as a breeding Mom dog for 4 years and was terrified when we got her. I have pet sat at my home for family, friends, and neighbor's dogs. I would go multiple times a week to my neighbor's house to take her dogs out and play with them while Mom & Dad were working late. I have also volunteered with humane societies over the years, even flew down to FL to volunteer with a rescue after a hurricane. I have experience transporting foster dogs to their new homes with a rescue group out of Missouri where we adopted our foster fail from. I am an Independent Photographer so I only work when I have sessions or editing to do, leaving me with lots of time to dedicate to the pups 😀 The dogs wellbeing is my top concern always! If I am coming to walk or play with your dog while you're at work I will make sure your family member is happy and content before leaving.

I can crate your pups if needed. I also have experience in cats and other small animals who need watching.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since childhood. First it was cats, then dogs, and I’m now a proud owner of a Quaker parrot. I’m willing to walk or pet sit dogs, help pet sit cats at their own home, and the same with exotic birds. Someone is always home with the pet and we also help you dog get socialized with our parrot.

I work full time in the afternoon shift but my boyfriend works mornings so there is always someone home. He loves animals, too! I do my best to work around my schedule. Our bird Kerry only goes in his cage when we are both out of the house and at bedtime. Otherwise, we let him out. Kerry is used to dogs. He likes to talk to dogs.

My pups love chasing after a cat laser toy in the house and outside in the evenings. I live in a Duplex with our own yard. It’s not fenced completely. It is a partial fence, but I do have dog tie outs. I’m outside with them the entire time. Plenty of dog toys, balls and room to roam.
About: I was raised on a farm and absolutely love animals (see my pictures)! As a nurse, I’m passionate about life and caring for others. My passion for raising and taking care of animals started young and grew immensely with age… hence why we've connected here! I’m gentle, punctual, and truly enjoy dog sitting. I’m skilled in bathing, walking, feeding, administering medications and caring for a wide variety of dogs and cats. I love all breeds and promise to welcome your pet in the same way he/she welcomes you home! Health appropriate bones, balls, and toys always make for a good time. Others would say I’m trustworthy, reliable, and dedicated. I truly believe that through service and by “paying it forward” the world is a better place! Because I have pets of my own, I understand the importance socialization and safety. Although I do work at a hospital, in my spare time I decided to incorporate something I’m passionate about into my everyday routine… dog walking/sitting! As an avid people and animal lover, you can count on me to safely care for your pet. Safety is my number one priority. I always ensure that collars and leashes fit appropriately, fences and gates are closed, crates are secure and that your pup/cat is out of the way of any hazards. I can easily identify signs of heatstroke and I always ensure that your pups paws don’t touch hot pavement in the summer months. Water is also a must after walks! I am transparent and believe that it is best to follow the owners requests so I will work with you to develop a routine that fits the needs of your family and your pet. I also ask that if you are leaving a spare key, it has “do not duplicate” engraved in it. Lastly, I will always ask permission.

About: I have taken care of dogs as a drop in and while the family was on vacation. I also enjoy walking dogs. Also, have taken care and trained puppies and have catered to senior dogs. My dog owners are very pleased with my skills and patience with their dogs. They appreciate my care and kindness I show to their babies. I am semi-retired, I work at the Coal City schools as a recess monitor during the school year. I am very flexible with my time around recess hours. I don’t mind late night walks/drop ins (before 10pm) or early morning walks/drop ins. I am respectful of your home when coming to get your dog. I am respectful of your home and your yard. I do not use or go into other parts of your home not previously given permission to access. I am in constant communication when it comes to the welfare of your fur baby.
About: I've been boarding and fostering a variety of dogs since I was 18. During my fostering I've handled reclimating dogs with many different behavioral issues. I have shadowed master trainers and now I am involved in the dog show/sporting world. Rest assured if your dog has special needs--I have experience in many different areas. If your dog needs to learn training, and you want to treat it as a training session, this could be arranged. (Training will cost more) My two girls are both titled in conformation, dog trick, Canine good citizen and we are working on agility titles. I only do positive FUN training. I currently am a full time student and my classes are all online. This gives me the ultimate flexibility as far as scheduling goes. My girls get a walk at 530 am before I head to the gym. Then the couch napping commences until I return at 7 am. Once I'm back I am home all day. We go in and out at least once every few hours. I have a 1/3 acre fenced in yard. I do have dog agility equipment I set up for play time, and as many balls as they want to chase. The yard is sprayed for ticks and was fully treated upon buying the house for parasites. (I'm just a worry wort when it comes to my dogs health and safety) Inside my house is all dog/puppy friendly. I have gates to prevent going up and down stairs (this is bad for the hips of both growing pups and the elderly). I only use a steamer for floor cleaning, meaning it is 100% chemical free and sanitizes 99% (this is the packaging information! Lol) of germs. I have a doggy toy box full of goodies, to include puzzle toys. There are toddler beds that I've converted to dog beds throughout the house for the cushy naps. I donot have kennels, but I have a playpen I leave open for those that prefer the safety of a kennel. I do have two dogs myself. Both are standard poodle females. One is 5 and one is 4. They are both very well trained and love to have playmates of any age, size or gender. My girls do eat a full raw diet, no need to worry about them trying to steal food from anyone else and they are always fed in a seperate area of the house. The girls are on a monthly heartworm that includes many other parasite preventatives. They are groomed weekly and kept up to date on all vaccines. I expect any dog I board to be up to date on vaccines. There is a local vet within 15 minutes and emergency vet within 45 minutes. **I will not watch unfixed males. This is due to my females not being fixed. I can watch females in heat and young puppies (young puppies cost a bit more due to the fact I will be training if they aren't potty trained).** **If your dog is a digger DO let me know in advance so I can set up the sand box!** I'm a stay at home college student. Animals are a life long love for me. Evenings are for cuddles and homework, while daytime is play time! I care for pets according to the owners specifications. Every pet has different needs to be met--from the high energy dogs to the elderly. I do whatever makes the pet happy and provides was of mind for the owner. I am happy to provide photos at any point during a visit !

Pet is a daily thing for me, whether it be caring for my own animals, family friends animals, or even the animals I have to care for at school. It is one of the most important things to me, being a voice for animals. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs at home so it a a constant thing to make sure they’re all cared for. Feeding, walking, cleaning up after them etc. It would be the same for me taking care of a clients pet. Feeding, watering, playing or walking, or cuddles. What is best for your pet and most comfortable for them.

About: Ive grown up with pets my whole life from puppies to seniors. This makes me versatile in taking care of any pet age, even training. I love any and all breeds of dogs with no preference. I also have had multiple dogs at the same time my whole life so caring for multiple pets at a time is no problem. I am currently home from college for the summer so my schedule is almost always open. I work at a restaurant in Plainfield a few nights a week for a couple hours otherwise I’m always available for your fur babies. I am very flexible in your personal rules of watching your pet. Crating, walking, or even supervised outside time are all things I respect along with anything else you specifically need for your pet. I have also had large and small dogs. I would love for your pet to stay in routine so I will try to follow that as closely as possible
“This is our second time using Katharine and she’s just great. Our dog loves her (can be weary of new people) our cats come out to see her when she’s in our house. I feel completely safe leaving keys and the garage code with her. If you are new to Rover and need a sitter she’s amazing! Thanks again Katharine!”
About: Growing up I cared for my two dogs, an Australian cattle dog mix and a German shepherd. We loved them both to the ripe old ages of 16 and 12 respectively. In high school I spent my free time at the local animal shelter volunteering to walk and play with the various dog breeds. My entire life I have loved caring for all types of animals, so this is an amazing opportunity for me to meet even more. I am currently a college student attending school 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). All other days of the week I am free to be booked! My yard is big, but unfenced so I will have to have your dog on a leash for our walks and playtime. I do own a crate and can use it if necessary, but all the specific care instructions can be discussed individually.

“Bridget was absolutely amazing!!! We left our 3 year old German Shepherd with her for over a week and at first like all dog parents we were nervous, as it was our first time leaving him with someone we didn’t know. But we went and met with her and all was well. We are so happy with her service and she is so responsive! You can tell she has the best heart and loves your baby like her own!! We received photos everyday if not twice a day and Ruger played and loved all of her pups too! We will FOR SURE be using her services again and highly recommend her to all dog parents!! Thank you so much Bridget, Mr Ruger already can’t wait to come back and play!!! ❤️”
“Katie and her family were so amazing with our baby dog. She’s like a totally different pup! She doesn’t get upset in the crate, her bitting has dramatically dropped, and she’s much more claim throughout the day. I cannot thank her enough for taking ivy in on short notice and letting her be apart of her family. 10/10 would recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m Victoria. I grew up surrounded by cats, and 6 years ago my husband and I adopted Harley, our sweet little dog who completely stole our hearts. I know how important it is to feel confident and comfortable when someone else is caring for your fur baby. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give Harley. Whether your pet prefers playtime, cuddles, slow sniff-walks, or just gentle company, I’m here to match their needs and routine. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and happy at all times. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide regular walks, check-ins, playtime, and constant attention whenever needed. I prioritize safety and comfort in every home I care for. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep environments clean and secure, and provide constant supervision during walks and visits.
