My puppy, Corey, stayed at Jackie's home for 6 days while I was on vacation. She sent a bunch of pictures, several each day. Corey did not have to be leashed during his stay much at all, because Jackie has a beautiful fenced in backyard. I feel incredibly grateful to have found her on Rover. I could tell from the pictures that Corey was having so much fun and was in very capable hands. I was able to totally enjoy my vacation. Thank you so much, Jackie!

We can’t say enough good things about Tanya! She was an absolute lifesaver—stepping in at the last minute after our original sitter canceled unexpectedly. Not only was she incredibly accommodating with our late booking, but she also welcomed our dog into her home like family. Tanya’s photo updates were amazing—seriously, she has a real talent for capturing those joyful, candid moments that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious from every tail-wagging picture just how happy and comfortable our pup was in her care. Thank you, Tanya, for your kindness, flexibility, and top-tier care! We’ll absolutely be booking with you again.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who has been around pets my entire life. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I've been dog sitting for ten years. During that time, I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, administering medications when needed, overnight stays, and extended care for a week or longer while families are away. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're gone. Whether your dog needs an energetic walking buddy, a dependable sitter for a quick check-in, or someone to provide attentive care during a longer vacation, you can count on me. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently enrolled in an online graduate program, so I am available at any time you will need care for your pet, any day, night, week, or weekend! Initial Consultation: Before the pet owner leaves, I arrange a meeting to get acquainted with the dog and discuss their routine, dietary needs, medical history, and any specific instructions or concerns the owner might have. Establish Routine: Dogs thrive on routine, so I maintain consistency with feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest periods to ensure they feel secure and settled. Exercise and Play: Regular exercise is vital for a dog's physical and mental well-being. I schedule daily walks, engaging games, and interactive toys to keep them active and entertained. Nutritious Meals: Following the owner's guidelines, I provide balanced and timely meals, ensuring the dog receives proper nutrition. I also monitor their water intake to keep them hydrated. Safe Environment: I dog-proof the indoor and outdoor areas to prevent accidents or injuries. Hazardous items are kept out of reach, and I supervise the dog closely, especially if they're exploring new surroundings.

My own crew loves to swim in our pool, play frisbee or fetch the chuck-it. I have 3 custom built in crates that are massively oversized. I can keep dogs separate from my own or integrate. I absolutely love working with puppies and dogs and exposing them to new fun things!

Lisa did a great job of watching both my dogs one being a puppy that’s only nine weeks old. I came home to find her on the floor playing with them.

Jennifer is simply amazing for both my dog and my piece of mind. In a single week of daycare, she has helped give my dog the confidence he needs to lessen his anxiety issues. Her communication is phenomenal. The pictures are adorable. The report cards are thorough and provides great suggestions, and she's very flexible with my crazy schedule. She is quite truly an angel, when we needed one the most!

About: I grew up with dogs all of my life. We always had at least one dog and usually a cat growing up. My family and I now have 3 dogs- Cocker Spaniel, Bernedoodle, and a Beagle mix. We treat our dogs as family- humans. I consider them my children. I am a former foster for Tails, but unfortunately I had to give that up due to getting attached to them all. ❤️ *update- I’m fostering again! 🥰💕❤️ I am a stay at home mom to my 3 dogs! My 15, 12, and 6 year old are in school all day. I am home all day besides an occasional errand, school drop off/pickup, or an after school or weekend sporting event for my boys. My husband also has a flexible work schedule. In fact, I usually have him come along on meet & greets so that we can tag team visits if need be. We have a Petsafe invisible fence. If you have a Petsafe collar, then it should work at my home. Besides the Petsafe invisible fence, we have an extra long tie out in the backyard. We also have a fenced in area near the pool which is unavailable during pool season otherwise open. I recently put up a fenced area that is suitable for dogs that aren’t jumpers or strong. Our yard is about half an acre. I’m happy to walk a dog on a leash in the yard or around the neighborhood as well. We have a beautiful walking path nearby. I also love giving the option to pet owners for in home visits while they’re gone. Sometimes a pet is more content and comfortable in their own home. I’m happy to visit 3-4 times a day to provide some company, feed, and allow for potty breaks. It’s really a great option for many who don’t enjoy being boarded at a facility.

About: Hello, I'm a dog lover, of all breeds, big and small and everything in between. I truly believe that your precious canine/feline will be truly at home with me. Animals off all sizes and breeds are special to me and also to God. I know I have a couple less than desirable reviews, but they were total misunderstandings. Unfortunately they stay on my page which makes me so sad because it gives me great joy to be there and stand in the gap for these precious animals. I also watch caged pets. I am very flexible, available at a moments notice. I love all animals and do everything in my power to accommodate. I'm not perfect but I love all animals perfectly. Another chance appreciated!!

I occasionally have an in-person meeting, but I’m typically only away for an hour or two at most. I work in person Friday evenings and Saturdays, so my availability is primarily Sunday through Friday afternoon.

About: I have taken care of many dogs in my neighborhood for years. I had a German Shorthair Pinter I trained. I have had a umber of cats over the years. My dog now is 14 yes.! I am a retired teacher so I have the time to care for your dogs! I am available everyday. I do attend church on Sunday’s for 3 hours. Other wise I’m am home all day. First thing in the morning we are out the door for a walk around the neighborhood. We come the dogs have a fresh clean bowl of water and a treat. My dog eats around 12 o’clock. I feel his bowl up with his favorite dog food from blue buffalo. Second walk of the day is around noon outside around the neighborhood check in with some of the friends dogs and back home. We take a little nap around 2 o’clock and then back out for another walk around five. My dog gets another bowl full of blue buffalo. Sometimes he eats it and sometimes he waits and eats it later in the evening. We go out approximately between nine and 10 o’clock. The last of the day potty breaks. I try to keep the same schedule for the dogs so they know what they have to do when we go outside.

About: When I was 7 years old I got my first puppy. His name was Jake, a baby lab. I trained him myself and raised him throughout his entire life. I have a natural affinity with animals. I am great at figuring out what my furry baby needs from me, I am also great at calming down irritable pups. My puppy passed 5 years ago due to health conditions and I instantly got two more. I now have two Australian shepherds who are very high energy and need a lot of love, play, and attention which I always provide top quality. I have also been relied on by friends and family countless times to take care of their puppies or all different kinds. Pictures of these beautifies can be found in my profile. I feed, walk, bathe, play, and much more with them, I know they always enjoy themselves and their owners are always greatfull and eager for me to watch them again. I have even taken care of peoples bunnies, reptiles, crustaceans, cats/kittens (I am allergic to cats so I am less likely to take them on). The dogs I have taken care of have been xs-xl sized so I can handle myself, even two animals at a time would be no problem. Currently, my schedule is very flexible as I am working with DoorDash where I get to schedule my own work times and days (based on the area and how busy it is). This allows me a lot of time to devote towards your furry baby! I work the most from 4-9:30pm on weekdays and weekends (primarily). Weekdays are more negotiable than weekends, as these are my only jobs currently. There will never be a time where I need to focus on both jobs simultaneously, any furry baby with me will have my undivided attention! My home is a very safe, clean, and organized environment. So, there will be no worry for any choking hazards, sharp objects, or hazardous foods/liquids in furry reach. That being said there is also a door that blocks off the kitchen area. If there is any specific housing instructions, I will cater to them to the best of my abilities!

Jocelyn made me feel confident and at ease leaving my puppy, Winnie, in her care alongside her well-mannered dog, Bella. Caring for a puppy comes with added responsibility, but Jocelyn handled it well. Positive experiences and structure are vital for Winnie’s development in her first year, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found someone who will help shape her into the best version of herself!

I am a current dog and cat mom. I aspire to be a dog trainer and have my own business one day. I have successfully trained my own dog in a variety of different skills and I am eager to gain even more knowledge to work towards my career. I have 3+ years experience working in a dog daycare/boarding facility. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and all temperaments. I also have experience working with dogs with special needs. I just moved to the area and I am currently looking for a full-time position in the animal care field.

I also believe it could help me gain experience towards my career goals. My schedule is very open at the moment. I take my dog on walks every evening and have training sessions for an hour every day. Since I live with other people currently, I can only pet-sit in clients’ homes. I do have a very friendly 5-year old doodle who loves to play with other dogs, so I can always bring him along to keep your pet company. I follow my clients’ instructions to the tee whether regarding potty schedules, feeding schedules, bathing, walking, playing, training, etc. I can also do any additional services if need be while caring for your pet at your home.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who has been around pets my entire life. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I've been dog sitting for ten years. During that time, I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, administering medications when needed, overnight stays, and extended care for a week or longer while families are away. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're gone. Whether your dog needs an energetic walking buddy, a dependable sitter for a quick check-in, or someone to provide attentive care during a longer vacation, you can count on me. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently enrolled in an online graduate program, so I am available at any time you will need care for your pet, any day, night, week, or weekend! Initial Consultation: Before the pet owner leaves, I arrange a meeting to get acquainted with the dog and discuss their routine, dietary needs, medical history, and any specific instructions or concerns the owner might have. Establish Routine: Dogs thrive on routine, so I maintain consistency with feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest periods to ensure they feel secure and settled. Exercise and Play: Regular exercise is vital for a dog's physical and mental well-being. I schedule daily walks, engaging games, and interactive toys to keep them active and entertained. Nutritious Meals: Following the owner's guidelines, I provide balanced and timely meals, ensuring the dog receives proper nutrition. I also monitor their water intake to keep them hydrated. Safe Environment: I dog-proof the indoor and outdoor areas to prevent accidents or injuries. Hazardous items are kept out of reach, and I supervise the dog closely, especially if they're exploring new surroundings.

About: I got my first dog when I was only 6 years old, since then, I care about all the dogs so much & help my family & my friends with their dogs, cats or any other animals - even horses - they need help with. I can help with puppies & seniors, I can care about them in health & sickness. My dogs are my children, they are my family. I spoil all my babies from playing in the pool or giving them a ride in a special pet stroller - & spoil them to death. I have 1/4 acre, almost fully fenced yard, but I also have invisible fence. Plenty toys & my dog to keep company & play with. I have mini pool to cool them off & pet stroller if they are tired or too old to walk. You need just bring your baby & the food & I will provide love, care & everything else they need. I work 2-3 days a week for only few hours. Sometimes I help with my grandchildren or I need to run out for an hour to do extra special chores to care about other animals. Besides this, I am always home. I enjoy playing & cuddling with dogs & cats, they are the best friens & family. If I am at your house - your rules, if we are at my house - also your rules but my little guests are always allowed to be on my sofa or sleep on my bed.

I absolutely love all dogs and am lucky to have the summers off to give them long walks and provide much needed potty breaks! I am off for the summer (June - August) so weekdays at anytime work for me. I also am free to cover while you go on vacations :) I am extra cautious with our fur babies and their safety, happiness, and well-being is of utmost importance When I am in a client’s home or backyard, I am always sure to check the environment so ensure it is safe for pets (i.e. fence is locked, no small pieces around for choking, water available, etc).

About: I’ve cared for pets throughout my life and understand the importance of providing reliable, attentive care. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, following their set routines, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own, paying close attention to their individual needs, routines, and personalities to ensure they receive plenty of care and affection while all their needs are met! I’m currently working part-time so I am able to provide pet care everyday in the mornings/early afternoons. Evenings vary by my work schedule. I am always willing to try and make my schedule work for any of my clients needs! Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m committed to providing a safe and loving environment. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, respect any special instructions, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs since I was about 10 years old. I have good experience with giving oral medications and giving support to dogs with anxiety or anxiousness. Great with walking dogs with all different sizes and energy levels. I also have great knowledge when it comes to cleaning care for puppies or seniors rather that be in cages or any where within the house. I support rescue services for pets as I have adopted a dog from Tails myself. Lastly I am great at managing multiple dogs at once as I currently have three dogs with my family. I am currently take a CNA (Certified Nurse Assistant) class as I am looking to become a nurse in my future. I starting college this year so I’m looking to find a job during this summer. With having CNA class I am available most weekdays and for sure weekends. I have class Tuesdays and Wednesdays being available after 12:30 and have Friday Clinicals at a Nursing home in DeKalb leaving that day majority full. While in my own home or a clients home I always make sure the pet feels like their in a comfortable and safe environment with surroundings and with me. A pets health mentally and physically is really important to me as I make sure they get the right exercise, rest, attention and love they of course deserve. Keeping them with their daily routines and schedule is also very necessary to me when it comes to feedings and water, play inside and outside, rest and walks which are my favorite. Keeping my clients home clean and protected is also something very important to me as it helps the dog be familiar in their safe and comfortable space and also help the owner gain trust and rely on me as much as possible! Updates are a really big thing I offer service to, I am a really great communicator and responsible person so letting them know how their pet is doing and being cared for is very critical.

About: We are animal lovers, energetic, and will love your pet(s) like our own. We have two fur babies and one fur-less baby: Remi (Sphynx cat), and Memphis and Kota (Australian Cattle Dogs). We both grew up with and around pets, and have past experience looking after them for friends, family, and Rover clients. We have done it all: Dog-walking, drop-ins, house-sitting, and doggy daycare. We would love to meet you and your pet at a public dog park before dog or cat sitting so we can get to know you better. We could be the perfect fit if your pup needs let out or a midday walk while you’re at work or away for the day/weekend. Please let us know if you have any questions or special requests. Both of us work from home, so we are very flexible and will do our best to be able to work with your schedule and needs. Our pets love to have company and play dates. Your pets will be entertained and playing as much as they want during their stay with us. Our home is pet friendly and safe for our babies and yours.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 7 years old. I took care of my pet fish since I was 5 and then started walking dogs at age 7. I can walk, feed, bathe, play, you name it I can do it! I am also able to administer medicine. I am a full-time second year law student at NIU! I moved to the Midwest from New York about a year ago. My fiancé and I currently share a 2 year old HIGH ENERGY bull terrier mix that we love with our whole hearts so per care is a daily routine in our house. I currently work Tuesday-Thursday for the DuPage County States Attorneys Office and then I am free the rest of the week. Once classes start up, August 17th, I will be adjusting those hours but we still have plenty of availability for your furry friends! I can crate dogs easily if needed but I am also all for free roaming! I love to be outside with your pets in a fenced area to ensure their safety. When inside, I will make sure all breakables are away and safe for the pets safety, mine, and your valuables.

We can’t say enough good things about Tanya! She was an absolute lifesaver—stepping in at the last minute after our original sitter canceled unexpectedly. Not only was she incredibly accommodating with our late booking, but she also welcomed our dog into her home like family. Tanya’s photo updates were amazing—seriously, she has a real talent for capturing those joyful, candid moments that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious from every tail-wagging picture just how happy and comfortable our pup was in her care. Thank you, Tanya, for your kindness, flexibility, and top-tier care! We’ll absolutely be booking with you again.

The dogs had a great time during their first stay here! Sumer and her family were able to take them some what short notice as our long time boarder was unexpectedly moving out of town and we really appreciated that. They took great care of the dogs and our dogs had fun playing with their pups. They have a good size backyard and we were happy to get pictures and updates that they were doing well. Thanks again!

Bailey enjoyed his winter vacation with Cheryl! I felt confident Cheryl met all his needs as a senior dog. She gave him his medicine and made sure he was comfortable and offered lots of snuggles on the coach. She sent updates with pictures so I felt reassured that he was having a good experience. Bailey was with Cheryl a week and a half, and I would not hesitate to use her again!

Jackie is incredible! She made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with her from the moment we met. Her home and family are lovely, and they treated my dog like their own. She updated me throughout the week I was gone and made it convenient for me to drop off and pick up around my flight schedule. When I picked up my pet, he ran back and forth between Jackie and me, a clear indication of how much he had bonded with her. It was such a relief to have him so well taken care of, and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Jeannie and her family were awesome! You can always tell how a dog was cared for by their condition when you take them back home. Our dog was relaxed, and in great condition and spirits when we got him back. The daily update pictures are really great too. We will be using Jeannie again in the future.
