Personalized care for your dog or cat - Elizabeth
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Elizabeth
“We have used Karen for doggy daycare several times and recently boarded our puppy for three nights. Karen has been reliable, kind, caring and professional every time. We have been very pleased. We would highly recommend Karen and will be using her services in the future!”
“Cassandra far exceeded our expectations! This was the first time leaving our puppy with someone so we were nervous at first, however, the second we met Cassandra we were at ease. You could tell immediately how much she loved dogs. She sent us pictures and videos throughout the stay and we could tell she loved him as if he were her own. My puppy seemed so happy and content with her. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone! She was amazing!”
“Mark and his family were amazing with our dog! It was the first time we'd ever left him with anyone else, so we were a bit nervous when we dropped him off. Mark sent photos throughout the weekend letting us know how Griffin was doing, and we couldn't have asked for anyone better to take good care of our good boy.”
“Finn really enjoyed his stay with Taylor. I appreciated all the photos she sent - it made my time away from my puppy a little easier. I definitely recommend Taylor to take care of your furry friends. Will board with her again.”
“Lottie and her family did an incredible job! We were updated daily with pictures and status updates - our dog was clearly loving life at Lottie’s house. Highly recommend booking with her.”
“We left our puppy with Mya while on vacation and she was wonderful! She has a great fenced-in yard and you can clearly see that Mya has a love for animals! We will definitely use Mya again!”
“JoAnna and her whole family went out of their way to really welcome Loki into their home. A puppy learning to stay away from home for the first time and interact with new people and dogs is a big step. I really appreciate the consideration they gave Loki.”
“Jilly was great! We appreciated her quick response to our request. Charlie seemed to really enjoy his stay at the farm. Jilly also shared updates and photos with us which was really nice.”
“Tamara and her family took such good care of our girl Jemma while we were out of town. She got to play all weekend with their family and pup ranger and she’s been pooped ever since. We are so grateful of Tamara and her sweet family for making us feel at ease while we were away. Highly recommend!!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship while owners are away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their routine, and I do my best to keep things familiar and stress-free. I’m reliable, attentive, and always treat every dog with care and patience. I maintain a very flexible routine and am home the majority of the day.

I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and kept in a clean, secure space where they can relax and feel at home.

“Amazing! Linda is everything you could ask for in a kitty sitter and more - her updates and photos gave my husband and I peace of mind while we were out of town. You can tell she really cares for animals. She was prompt to respond to any messages and did a fabulous job - would definitely recommend 😸🥰”
About: I started pet sitting in 2007 and have pet sat consistently ever since. I have experience with lots of different types of animals and plenty of experience with kitties of all ages. I am able to give cats pills, liquid medication, injections and IV fluids.
“Chris is an amazing sitter! This was my first time using Rover and he put me right at ease. He took such good care of my kitty and sent me pictures all throughout the stay. He also left my place in great condition and was very flexible with timing. I highly recommend him!”
“Samantha is AMAZING! She was so good with our high maintenance kitty and followed all of our directions. She even searched all of her hiding spots so she could check on her and send us a pic. Would recommend!!”
“Nora is great! I always know my Finley will get such good attention. He loves belly rubs and treats of carrots and she always makes sure he gets these! i want to wish her a very Merry Christmas.”
“Mackena did a great job with my kitties ! We had a meet & greet prior to my trip so she could meet the girls and get a "lay of the land". She was great about providing lots of wonderful pictures and detailed updates the whole time I was away. It gave me great peace of mind to know they were getting positive attention. Would definitely book with Mackena again!”
“Jessica was amazing! She sent frequent and useful updates on my kitty while I was away, and was extremely easy to communicate with. I felt completely confident with her, and I will be using her again! Thanks again from Emma and Isaac ?”
“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!”

From feeding and litter box maintenance to playtime, brushing, and cuddles (if they’re into that!), I’ll treat your cat like one of my own.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Elizabeth
About: I have always had pets. Whether fish, cats, dogs, small birds. They are part of my family! I’m devoted! And have even resuscitated a gold fish! I work part time during the week watching my grandkids but otherwise have no obligations except to care for your fur babies and ensure your peace 😉 I will ask for instructions and follow them to ensure your pets routine and comfort is foremost beyond keeping doors shut for security. I will not use or bring other pets or materials into your home that would compromise your pets peace and safety. My children are now adults with lives of their own. So I have plenty of time for your fur babies. So, no worries. When I’m caring for your fur-baby, I will always consider your pets safety and well-being first. I understand that little dogs can be fragile. :-) I prefer to care for your pets in your home if possible. Otherwise they must be socialized and okay with my cat. My home is small but I have a yard and lots of walking available - Cats are usually drop-ins at Your home, but if in mine; because I have cats (friendly), I wiIl always see/hear them and be well-looked after. :-)
“Kaia had a wonderful time at Tammy’s! She absolutely loved it! She was so tired from all the playing, she slept for the rest of the evening and the next day! We will definitely be back!”
“Karen was awesome with Bailey. Really the first time Bailey hasn't been with me but Bailey got really excited when we would pull in. When we would get home she would need a nap from playing with Karen and the other dogs, a great place will be taking Bailey back. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I am an owner of a smart, service, doodle named Brody. I love all animal & have cared for many dog breeds and ages. I am currently working from home and have plenty of spare time. I am available weekdays/weekends & overnights to care for your furry friend 🐾 We live in a great, peaceful neighborhood with plenty of backyard space for your pup to exercise, play & have plenty of potty breaks. I have undivided love for animals and believe they deserve the best care. I have a young boy that love dogs. Our home is very pet friendly. If your pup likes to relax on the sofa, sprawl out on the floor or snuggle in bed it's all 100% acceptable!
“Mya knows dogs! She was wonderful for watching our Lance for the 2nd time. We look forward to booking with her again. Lance seemed pleased with his "puppy playdate"as well.”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a young child & doggos have always been a special part of my life! They become important family members who give & get the unconditional love we all deserve! It’s hard some times when life takes us away from home & our doggies for longer than we’d like. Exactly the reason I would be the perfect person to love, snuggle, take care of & give your dogs the attention they want and need while you’re away or busy! puppers will always be able to depend on seeing my kind face and caring hand at times like these. Just as they support our emotional needs on a daily basis, I have come to love returning the small favor for them! I am home full time & dedicate my day to taking care of my kids, my doggo, my 2 docile kittens & my household. My time is not limited. My kids and I love to take walks with the dog, go to local dog parks occasionally when they are empty & clean, & play fetch in our large, clean yard!
About: Nestled in the quiet countryside, I offer loving, in-home boarding for dogs and cats in a peaceful, natural setting. With plenty of fresh air, daily walks, and attentive care, your pets are treated like family while they’re away from home. Able to care for animals at all stages in their life. I love taking long walks with canine companions! Your dogs will not be unleashed on a walk unless your specify! A client’s cat or dog fits naturally into my daily routine because their care is built around their needs, not a rigid schedule. Each day follows a calm, predictable flow—morning feedings, medications if needed, fresh air, walks or supervised outdoor time for dogs, and quiet check-ins or play for cats—mirroring what they’re used to at home as closely as possible. Throughout the day, I weave in one-on-one attention, enrichment, rest, and observation, so pets aren’t just “fit in,” but thoughtfully included in a rhythm that keeps them comfortable, engaged, and well cared for from morning to night. Tailoring your services starts with seeing each pet as an individual, not a “one-size-fits-all” guest. Begin with a detailed intake or meet-and-greet to learn the pet’s routine, personality, energy level, medical needs, fears, and preferences. From there, you can adjust care in a few key ways: • Routine-based care: Match feeding times, walk schedules, playtime, and sleep habits as closely as possible to what the pet is used to at home. • Personality-aware handling: Offer extra quiet and space for shy or senior pets, more structured play and exercise for high-energy dogs, and gentle, low-stress interactions for anxious animals. • Health-focused support: Follow specific instructions for medications, mobility limits, special diets, or senior care, and keep careful notes so nothing is missed. • Environment choices: Decide whether a pet thrives with social interaction or prefers solo time, indoor lounging, or outdoor exploration in your country setting.

Throughout our lives we have had Labs, Golden Retrievers, Coon Hounds, Spaniels, Beagles, and Huskies.

Our kids are 8 and 10 and will also provide love and playtime for your dog. Our yard is not fenced, but your dog will be walked a minimum of once in the morning and once at night with bathroom breaks every 2-4 hours. Melissa my wife works from home and will with your pet during the day. We also have a large 4x8 foot kennel which your pet will stay in when they are not in the house. We do require dogs to potty trained and not have a history of aggression as they will be with our kids. They also need to be trained to not chew on non toys unless they are still puppies which we fully understand and can work with! We look forward to having an opportunity to meet you and keeping you pets well loved! My wife and I have vast experience with pets and pet training. I will be giving the dogs a majority of the walks in the morning and night, and my wife works part time from home where she can be around to watch your dog during the day. We also have two kids that love to play and give dog’s attention and love. However, there are breeds of dogs are kids are allergic too so we will have to review your dog before agreeing to watch them. We have a large yard in a quiet neighborhood. However, it is not fenced. We will walk your dog a minimum of 2x per day, with bathroom breaks every 2-4 hours. Your dog will spend much of their time in our house, or in the large 4x8 kennel we have.

“Lisa communicated well and updated us on the dogs during their stay. Their place was very dog friendly. They were centrally located for us to drop our dogs off while we went whitewater boating on the South Fork of the American River. We will definitely book our dogs stay with them again.”
“Jolly and Kenbob are great people. After meeting and talking with Kenbob we had no qualms about leaving Bailey in trusted hands for the day. Would definitely call them again when we are in the area.”
About: I’m new to this site, but I have had the pleasure of owning several dogs. I have dealt with multiple dog personalities, so i'd say I have the knowledge to address many types of dogs. I am a very active person, so I would be glad to give your dog a workout. I look forward to seeing my furry counterparts! I am available to dog walk/ take care of pets during the week day, after 9 pm. On Friday and Saturday, I am able to pet sit. On Sunday, I am able to offer any service aside from pet sitting or pet boarding. I am able to feed, provide water, bathe, and walk pets. I am also able to brush pets, and play with them. If the pets come to my house, and the weather is not cooperating, I have space for them to safely and comfortably reside in.
“Stefanie was great with our two girls. She was very attentive and definitely a dog person, but also an animal lover. Lots of room for everyone, and our puppies must have had a great time because they were exhausted when we picked them up. I can't recommend Stefanie enough.”

About: I have been an independent pet sitter for 18 plus years. I have plenty of experience with cats, dogs and other small critters. I have been very passionate in my love of animals for many years and all of my pets mean the world to me. I have spent time volunteering in shelters for pet care as we as medical care and have spent time working as a vet assistant as well. While working in the vet office I learned how to medicate cats as well as how to give subcutaneous fluids. I have worked in various animal related fields for over a decade including vet offices, shelters, grooming facilities, pet stores and pet sitting. All animals are fascinating to me and I enjoy learning about the different types of care they all need. I live in Galena IL and am willing to cover all surrounding areas 😸 Pet sitting is my main job and my schedule is currently open. I'm looking to build my local client base and earn your trust :) I will care for pets in the clients own home. I will follow the care instructions provided for each pet. During overnight visits I will treat your home with the utmost respect.
About: I own two high-energy dogs, Josie and Stella, both raised from puppies, so I know how stressful puppy-parenting can be. Growing up on a farm surrounded by animals is where I developed my love for caring for them, and it’s where I learned responsibility. We often head to the farm for extra playtime and walks, so your pup will have plenty of fun, exercise, and love—no energy left behind! I’m currently in school for respiratory therapy, so I’ve cut back on my hours. I work every other weekend at a memory care/assisted living facility. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I’m in class from 9 AM to 2:30 PM. Other than that, I’m pretty available around my work and school schedule, and I can’t wait to care for and love your animals! I have two friendly, high-energy dogs who love to play! While we don’t have a fenced yard, we’re lucky to have country property with plenty of space to walk around the fields.
About: I am open to most pets. Cats, Dogs, Horses, Calves, Lambs, Guinea Pigs, Turtles, etc..... If extra special care or out of state, I do charge travel fees. I do have experience with older pets and young ones. I have been known to raise Opossums from the size of mice to adults. If that gives you an idea! I am open to new proposals and willing to negotiate new situations! (Unencountered situations when it comes to pets) I also House-sit, plants, pets etc... I do travel out of state to Illinois (Mostly the North suburbs of Chicago) and Wisconsin. This is where I have done house-sitting. Pets and Plants can be included in this care. I do add travel expenses, mainly for gas, when traveling for house sitting. I get up in the morning and get my coffee going and then tend to pets that are around. They get fed first thing, inside and outside. Feral cats seem to be present in the morning. Litter boxes are checked. Water Bowls. Mostly I go to people's homes and care for the pets at their houses, but I have had people bring them to me. I have an extra room set up in my barn if there are anxieties or stress with animals and they need a quiet place. I am in the process of updating that room a little more. It is heated for the winter months. I do have hand brushes and combs for extra attention and I do go talk to whoever is around. If dogs come, they can be walked. Although I live in a small town, I am close to nice places to walk on the edge of town.
