This was my first time leaving my 10 year old Charlie with someone besides my parents. The second I met Bridget for our meet and greet I knew it was a perfect fit. Charlie stayed with her for 4 nights. She sent me updates and pictures immediately, and I knew he was in wonderful care! She treated him like one of her own and he had a great time meeting his new friends. I will absolutely book her for my future trips as well as daycare when he needs some extra playtime. I can’t thank her enough for easing my anxiety and taking the best care of my dog. Not having to worry about your animals when you are away is priceless.

She sent updates and pictures and videos any time I asked and always responded to all my messages pretty instantly. Biggie gave her a giant hug and kiss goodbye when I picked him up.

I could not have asked for a better person to take care of my Milo. Meet and greet went great and I had no reservations with leaving him there for the weekend. She sent pictures and videos all weekend that showed he was having a great time with her dogs and family. I really don’t think he wanted to come home!

Ashley kept us updated regularly with pics and videos of our furry guy. She answered all of our questions, informed us of any behaviors we should know about and kept our Chip safe, happy and made sure he was very well cared for. We are so thankful for the peace of mind we had so we could enjoy our vacation. We came home to one happy boy! She is the best!💚

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 8 years of hands-on experience in animal rescue. I’ve worked in kennel environments and currently serve as an intake coordinator for a rescue, giving me extensive experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. In 2025 alone, I fostered 45 animals, so I’m very comfortable handling a wide range of personalities, from shy and nervous to high energy pups. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup and provide them with the care, attention, and exercise they deserve! I get off work at 3 most days so afternoon walks are best. I am a very active person so i am always walking with my dog. I have a dog friendly dog and a fenced in yard, i do not plan on having dogs in my home but can possibly if necessary.

About: Hi! I’m Destiny, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with 12 years of hands-on pet-care experience. 🐾 I currently have three dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand just how different every animal’s personality and needs can be. Cat parent approved! 🐱💕 I understand that cats have their own rules—and I’m happy to follow them! Whether your kitty is a social butterfly who wants constant attention or a shy little introvert who prefers to observe from across the room, I’ll respect their personality and let them set the pace. I’m experienced with animals of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable providing the individualized care they need. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, cuddles, and oral medication administration when needed. My goal is to keep your cat comfortable and maintain their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll take the time to learn their habits, favorite things, boundaries, and any special instructions you have. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can see how your kitty is doing. 📸🐱 Whether your cat wants a playmate, a cuddle buddy, or simply someone who understands when they want their space, I’m here to give them the patience, love, and care they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you both!❤️🐾

About: I've had cats my entire life, giving me a deep understanding of their needs. Over the past six years, I’ve cared for hospice cats and managed various health issues, including administering insulin and medications. Working from home allows me to provide constant care and attention, with plenty of toys and enrichment activities. My cozy home is shared with three friendly cats—two seniors (12 & 14) and a recently adopted 5-year-old—who all get along well with others. I’ve created hidey holes for shy kitties to feel secure. I maintain a clean environment, deep cleaning litter boxes weekly and scooping them twice a day. We have three litter boxes (one upstairs and two downstairs) and keep fresh water and dry food available on both levels. If your cat has specific dietary needs or a feeding schedule, I’m happy to accommodate that. Living in a quiet country setting, I can offer a peaceful environment. For adventurous cats, I have a pet stroller and can take them on walks if they enjoy the outdoors!

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 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.

Bridget was absolutely fantastic both for my dogs and for me. Finding out a previous daycare abused dogs, I became a lot more anxious about who I allow to care for them. Bridget was patient, kind, and very receptive to my concerns. I got frequent updates, my babies had so much fun, and I was able to feel at ease knowing they were in good hands. They will definitely be seeing Bridget and her sweet dogs again soon.

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. When I had dogs, I let them sleep on the bed with us. I also let them sit on the furniture, too. And I do spoil them, also. 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.

About: Hello! My name is Tia, I am a huge animal lover and figured I might as well try to make money doing something I love, being with animals of course! I am a stay at home mother of two elementary aged boys. Your furry family member will be treated as an equal and will receive unconditional love here. Sadly, we are not financially ready to add a furry member into our pack, so welcoming your little friend into our lives would be an excitingly, wonderful time for us! I also do bathing, nail clipping/filing, teeth brushing and ear cleaning if you are in need of that extra service. I started using Rover in 2015 and was active on here through 2019. I took a break from the app due to no animals allowed where I was living. Although, I continued working as a dog bather through the years. My photos on here are older, but I will be updating with more recent photos soon, As I have plenty I can post. At the moment, I am now living in well kept and spacious camper within a beautiful and quiet camping resort and am excited to have the opportunity to be back to working with Rover and watching over your furry babies. I hope to hear from you soon! Message me with any questions and please don't hesitate! I have all the love in the world to give! (: I stay at home right now, so your pup/ kitty will have my undivided attention and all the love they need to feel comfortable while they are away from you. I have plenty of space for them to relax comfortably, and I have no problem allowing animals on the furniture and bed. There is also lots of land for them to explore. I do not have a fenced area, but am more than happy to take your pup for a walk for a long as they need.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and have always helped my family take care of them. Bathing, feeding, walking, caring for any illness they had, caring for them when they were old and passing, etc. When I moved out on my own at 18, I got married. This is when my husband and I bought our first pet together. Over the years we have gotten more pets, and we now have 3 dogs and 9 cats. As you can see, we love animals and caring for them. We would love to help other families in caring for theirs as well. Along with all of that, we also have 4 children. We hope that we can work with you and your fur babies soon! I am a stay-at-home mom full-time. I am highly flexible with days and times and will definitely be able to work with your wants and needs. We have a large un-fenced yard. We have a leash in the yard and extra leashes for walking if needed. We have an extra crate in the home if it is wanted and/or needed. We have plenty of room both in and out of the house for comfortability and if they need some space alone. We also have friendly animals in the home for interactions and to make your dog or cat feel at home.

About: I adore being around animals and have had many years pf practice with taking care of friends pets. We have also always had pets in our family growing up. I work part time as a wedding photographer so Im usually very flexible with my schedule especially during the week. I also enjoy walking so Im also available for that. I will only walk outside with your pet if they have a leash or a fenced protected area. I won't them alone anytime. I will provide patience and love to them as if they were my own.

About: I use to work with kids so nothing suprises me and I'm very good under pressure. I always find another way. I love all animals I'll even watch your other pets. I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, birds, and etc just ask. I'm always willing to learn. I will also work with dogs of all kinds even special needs of any kind or just special stuff needed to be done with them. A month and a half after getting my puppy she jumped out of my sister arms so I had a energized mini aussie on my hands that had to wear a splint for her broken leg. I'm ready for any challenge I work 38/40 hour weeks so I would pet sit before my shifts; after my shifts. If in Pontiac I would also do it during my hour lunch if needed It’s been years since I was an “official” pet sitter but really whatever the animal needs I am willing to do. Every animal needs slightly different care

About: 🐾 Experienced Care From Someone Who Truly Loves Animals Hi! I’m Destiny, and I’m an animal lover with 12 years of hands-on pet-care experience. I’ve spent years caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities, from playful puppies and high-energy pups to seniors and anxious dogs. I currently have three dogs, one cat, and lots of reptiles of my own, so I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can genuinely trust. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family and take the time to learn their individual routine, personality, and needs. I can provide: 🐶 Walks & daily exercise 🏡 Drop-in visits 💊 Oral medication administration 🐾 Care for senior dogs ❤️ Extra patience for anxious/high-energy pets 📸 Regular photo & care updates I have a flexible schedule and I’m happy to work with different routines and schedules. My goal is to make your life easier while giving your pet the attention, love, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my priority. I can’t wait to meet you both! 🐾❤️ My schedule does fluctuate slightly, but mostly remains pretty open! I also can work around other people’s schedules pretty easily, and accommodate as much as possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I pay close attention to their behavior, surroundings, routine, and individual needs throughout every visit. Before a booking, I like to learn about your pet’s normal routine, any medications or special instructions, allergies, triggers, and anything else I should know. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is being cared for. If anything unexpected comes up, I’ll contact you promptly and follow the plan we’ve discussed.

Alayna took great care of our Wolfie! She paid close attention to his needs and made adjustments (like bringing him home from a walk a bit early so she could sit with him while he ate - since he was being a bit finicky about food). She kept in good communication with us the whole time and sent lots of pictures.

About: I make sure to do all the activities that your pup likes to do to keep them occupied. I feel leaving them. Home is better for their mental state than dropping them off somewhere where they don’t know where they are. Lots of loving and all of my attention goes to the babies while I’m there. I currently do not work and my schedule can be made mostly around the needs of the employer. My son is at school 8-3 but he would be willing to help with animals also. We have a fenced in yard but also go for walks. I have no problem with walking multiple times a day or whatever other needs the pet has.

About: What sets me apart is my real, everyday experience caring for animals. I handle high-energy dogs like my Belgian Malinois, volunteer at shelters, and provide patient, loving, reliable care. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine with college. I make time to walk, play with, and care for dogs because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and helping with pet sitting. At a client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I give plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship, and make sure they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away.

About: I have always had a special connection with animals, dogs especially, and grown up being called an animal whisper. Ive had dogs of all ages my whole life. I have experience with puppies, adults and senior dog care. Currently learning more and more about training dogs and using thoes techniques on my husky mix. Im all for giving your furry friends the care they deserve❤️I dont have any cats! I am currently working at an Assisted Living and Memory Care Facility in Yorkville and my shift is 6am-2pm. My schedule changes every other week. Although my boyfriend works the 3pm-11pm shift so someone is home most of the time. I am not totally free but I would be willing to work something out! My house has a front and back yard-not too big. We use a tie out for our dog and we have a few extras if needed for your dog! Me and my boyfriend live in a two bedroom duplex. Most areas of the house is dog proofed and we have plenty of toys for both to play with. My dog does really good with other dogs and loves to have company and a friend to play with. He is still younger so he can be hyper at first but will eventually calm down:)

About: My pet care experience consists of having a dog throughout my childhood and adult years. I've always loved the companionship of owning a dog and also visiting or babysitting families and friends' dogs/cats. With having a dog comes a lot of responsibility and attention whether that's feeding, letting outside, physical activity, and training. I'm experienced in all of those qualities. The pet care that I will be using through the new dogs and cats I meet are the basics of giving treats, going for walks, and playing fetch or ball. Those basics are important and useful for dog caregivers because any dog would love the attention and care that you are giving them unconditionally. I'm also experienced in grooming with bathing the pet if needed. Whether that's outside with a hose and soap or inside in a bathtub. Dogs are my best friends and should be treated with love and companionship therefore I would treat the dog and make sure they are happy and comfortable but also safe and calm at all times. My schedule is very flexible and in the case of babysitting or walking a dog, I will be attentive and responsible. Since I currently have a dog at home I take her outside frequently, stay outside with her and walk around the backyard or throw a toy and play fetch or even just sit in the grass and give her belly rubs. My daily routine consists of letting my dog outside and hanging out with her off and on while also letting her have time to rest and chill by herself. My weekly routine is the same as my daily routine aside from additional car rides, pup cups, or cousin visits with other dogs. The safety, trust & Environment of the care for the pet in my home and or my client's home will consist of making sure all doors are shut when entering and exiting the home or garage. Also making sure the dog is on a leash and well equipped when walking through a neighborhood. I also have a fenced-in yard so I'm experienced with fences and the proper precautions if needed. I can easily create your dog too if needed. Also water supply and refilling the water bowl as needed and giving supplements or medicine also. Also will have the clients contact information in case of emergency.

About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. As a child, I had pet sheep, rabbits, dogs, cats, and cows. As an adult, I have always had cats. My 20 year old long hair cat just passed away in January. It was heartbreaking. I miss him dearly. We loved our guy so much. In his last 5 yrs, I spent many hours catering to his elderly issues. Medications and night yowling were issues that I happily took care of as he lived out his twilight years. I have a soft spot for all animals as they go through all stages of life :) I work from home and set my own hours, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am open to many kinds of arrangements- one time sitting, a weekly routine, daily walks, weekends, etc. I am extremely fortunate to have a flexible schedule. My teen daughter and I live in a large 4 bedroom home, so we have tons of space to accommodate furry friends who need company. We do not have a fenced in yard, but our neighborhood is great for long walks. Our neighborhood has trails through the woods and a home owner’s association that maintains the trails. We have lots of fun walking the trails. I am an avid jogger/walker. I go out everyday, regardless of the weather. I have a very active lifestyle! We recently adopted a cat, but he stays in his own area on a different level of the house. He has claimed my daughter as his and lives in her room. When dogs come to stay with us, he typically stays in his room & pups never see him, although he has made friends with some of our regularly visiting pups 😊 I have a very flexible work schedule. When I do have to be away from home for work, I am gone about 2-3 hrs at a time. My daughter is at home often and also helps with pups. She is great with animals! We both like to take frequent walks throughout the day! In my home, I have a large open floor plan with tons of windows. During the day, I like to have pups next to me in my office, but some like to lay in prime viewing area of all the windows.

This was my first time leaving my 10 year old Charlie with someone besides my parents. The second I met Bridget for our meet and greet I knew it was a perfect fit. Charlie stayed with her for 4 nights. She sent me updates and pictures immediately, and I knew he was in wonderful care! She treated him like one of her own and he had a great time meeting his new friends. I will absolutely book her for my future trips as well as daycare when he needs some extra playtime. I can’t thank her enough for easing my anxiety and taking the best care of my dog. Not having to worry about your animals when you are away is priceless.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 8 years of hands-on experience in animal rescue. I’ve worked in kennel environments and currently serve as an intake coordinator for a rescue, giving me extensive experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. In 2025 alone, I fostered 45 animals, so I’m very comfortable handling a wide range of personalities, from shy and nervous to high energy pups. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup and provide them with the care, attention, and exercise they deserve! I get off work at 3 most days so afternoon walks are best. I am a very active person so i am always walking with my dog. I have a dog friendly dog and a fenced in yard, i do not plan on having dogs in my home but can possibly if necessary.
