“Our dog Dobby just finished her first tryout stay with Daniela. It seems like she had a good time and there weren't any big problems. Daniela kept us in the loop and sent lots of pics during the days. Dobby seems pretty happy with her stay, so we are as well. We will definitely be getting in touch with Daniela again for further dog watching.”

About: Hi! I’m Sarah! I’m a dog mom myself and genuinely love getting to spend time with other people’s pups. I started dog sitting for family and friends and loved it enough that I decided to branch out and meet some new furry friends! I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m able to spend lots of time with the dogs I’m caring for. I know every dog has their own personality, quirks, and routine, and I’m happy to follow whatever makes your pup happiest and most comfortable while you’re away. As a dog owner, I also know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away without worrying about how your pup is doing. Expect lots of love, attention, playtime, and plenty of picture updates! Basically, I’m very happy being the person who talks to your dog like they’re a human and sends you way too many pictures of them. 🐾 I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pup throughout the day! I’m available for regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and bedtime routine so their stay feels as familiar and comfortable as possible. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, dogs are always leashed and supervised outside, and I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and multiple walks throughout the day. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pup is in good hands. I’ll follow any instructions you provide and do my best to keep their routine consistent while you’re away.

She allowed me to see where he would be, answered any questions I had and sent pictures to me to assure me he was ok. I was grateful for that. That helped ease my mind. I would definitely use her again if it should become necessary again. She's awesome!!”

“Kyla was wonderful with our 2 cats. Her time was flexible and she was easy to book with over Christmas. During our initial meet and greet, the natural way she interacted with both Magik and Spooky, learning her history with animals, and her authenticity put my nerves at ease. During our time away, Kyla kept us up to date on her visits, how our cats were doing and included pictures. When we returned home, both cats were happy doing great.

About: Some see them as animals, I see them as little people... whom deserves to be loved and cared for properly. I am dedicated and trust worthy. SAFETY is my number one priority when it comes to your pet. I am a Welder by trade and its currently too hot outside for my career, so I'll have lots of time for your pet till the fall when it cools down. I have two very friendly children in my home, ages 17 and 7. We have lots of room in our home and a big back yard which includes chickens. The chickens stay inside their chicken run, they don't like dogs or cats anyway. My schedule is pretty open right now, so just let me know when you would like services, and I'll let you know if I'm available. We currently have chickens and one mixed breed dog named "Charlie" who loves all dogs, cats and even the chickens. Your pet would have our undivided attention! We absolutely love dogs and cats.

I have cared for cats from kitten age through adulthood, including feeding, litter box care, playtime, socialization, and monitoring changes in behavior or health. I’m patient with shy cats and know that some cats need time and a calm approach before they feel comfortable. I enjoy providing companionship, keeping their routine consistent, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding schedules, special routines, and medication needs when requested.

About: Hi! I’m Gaby, a full-time professional pet sitter and lifelong animal lover. Caring for animals isn’t a side job for me, it’s full time job and passion! One of the biggest benefits of booking with me is that I do this full-time, which means your pets receive far more attention, companionship, and supervision than they would with sitters who work traditional 9–5 jobs or are in and out all day. Your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches of the day, and their comfort, safety, and routine will always be my top priority. I have professional experience working in daycare and boarding environments, including Kennelwood Animal Resort and Y Bark Alone. Through that experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m comfortable administering medications (both oral and injections), handling puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets, and recognizing signs that a pet may be stressed, anxious, or unwell. When I watch your babies, they aren’t just another booking. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they deserve. You’ll receive tons of pupdates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in caring hands. My goal is to become the sitter you can rely on whenever you need help, a trusted person who treats your pets like family and provides the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own! I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies!🐶🐾 Rover is my full time job at the moment so my schedule is very open to give your pet the proper time and attention they deserve. How I care for your fur baby is completely contingent on the owner. I follow all guidelines they have set in place whatever those may be. But you can trust they are always in the best of hands.

About: Hey friends! I graduated with an AAS in Veterinary Technology in 2019 from Muscatine, Iowa. I have been a Licensed Veterinary Technician since 2020 and I absolutely love it. I have a large passion for animal care and know that they deserve as much love as people do. My family and friends have always had animals as well, so I’ve helped with them here and there. I’ve done quite a few jobs on here and it’s always been a great experience! I am CPR trained for both cats and dogs and know how to give various medications in various ways. I worked at Northgate Small Animal Hospital in Collinsville, IL for over 2 years and recently quit this year due to my CF, but I still keep up to date with my licensure! I can work with dogs, cats, and small exotic animals including hamsters, Guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, etc. Don’t worry, you can trust me with all of your fur babies!!! As previously mentioned, I quit working as a Vet Tech in 2023 do to hardships with my Cystic Fibrosis. I still do Rover jobs, so feel free to ask me if you need me! I had a baby earlier this year in April, so my schedule will depend on him and that of my hubbys! Other than that, just let me know and ask me! I don’t watch animals at my home due to our dog, Chief, being dog aggressive but I’m always happy to come to your home and visit your pets! I’m happy to follow a schedule or do whatever you need while at your home!

About: I've been caring for animals since I was a kid. It’s always been a passion of mine! Over the years, I’ve puppy-sat, dog-sat (up to six dogs at once for one owner!), cat-sat, and even farm-sat a few times. I treat every animal like they're my own. My pets are truly my babies, and my friends lovingly call me “extra” when it comes to how much I dote on them. I even tried to save a baby mouse once, I really do care about every animal I meet! I work in education, which means I have summers, holidays, and Christmas breaks off. I rarely travel because I prefer to stay home with my fur children, so I’m usually available year-round. Availability: Summer (June–Early August): Available daily, any time School Year (Mid August–May): Monday–Friday, Before 6:30 AM & after 5 PM Saturday & Sunday: Usually available all day Holidays & School Breaks: Available all day Pet Care Details: Dogs: I have a small fenced yard, but I also walk my three dogs on leashes twice a day. They’re crate trained, but your dog doesn’t need to be. I’m happy to take your pup(s) to the local dog park if they enjoy that, and I offer as much walking as they need! Cats: While I don’t board cats in my home, I offer drop-in visits. I can feed, brush, play, and snuggle with them, whatever makes them feel most comfortable. I currently work only during the school year. So, most holidays, and summers I am off. Most weekends I am available. During the work week I am available before 6:30 am, and after 4:00 pm. At this time I currently only board small animals once I meet them to approve they can get along with my two small dogs. While I am in your home I treat your animals, and house with the utmost care, and respect.

We used to love to go for walks, but since they’ve aged and are not well, we don’t do much of that anymore. They sleep a lot. I would make sure your dog was taken care of and got the required amount of exercise and care while I am Responsible for them. I can only do drop in visits and walks At this time since I have two special-needs dogs I'm currently not working and my time is flexible with notice. I have 2 fur babies at home that I am with 24/7 and they are both spoiled rotten. I love spoiling fur babies. Indoor pets are allowed in our home. My 2 have access to all furniture and prefer our living room couch or our bed. I would only allow dogs that I am with to do what their owners prefer.

I take the time to get to know your dog’s unique needs, routines, and quirks, ensuring they feel right at home. I offer regular photo and video updates, so you never have to worry about how your pet is doing while you’re away. With a safe, cozy home and a focus on fun and comfort, your dog will feel like part of the family. Whether it’s a walk, a play session, or snuggle time, I tailor everything to your pet’s preferences! I am working from home and part time, so my schedule is flexible as I make my own schedule. I will tailor my schedule to yours. In My Home: I offer a safe, cozy environment with plenty of space for your pet to feel comfortable. While my large yard isn’t fenced in, I ensure that outdoor time is always supervised and safe. Inside, my two shy cats provide gentle company for pets who enjoy calm, quiet companionship. I offer a relaxed and secure atmosphere where pets can roam freely, rest, or have quiet time as they need.

I offer drop-in visits to feed, play, and clean up, or take your dog for a walk to ensure they get the exercise and fresh air they need.

Whether it’s a walk, a play session, or just some cuddle time, I’m here to provide the attention your pet needs while keeping you updated with photos and messages.

About: Some see them as animals, I see them as little people... whom deserves to be loved and cared for properly. I am dedicated and trust worthy. SAFETY is my number one priority when it comes to your pet. I am a Welder by trade and its currently too hot outside for my career, so I'll have lots of time for your pet till the fall when it cools down. I have two very friendly children in my home, ages 17 and 7. We have lots of room in our home and a big back yard which includes chickens. The chickens stay inside their chicken run, they don't like dogs or cats anyway. My schedule is pretty open right now, so just let me know when you would like services, and I'll let you know if I'm available. We currently have chickens and one mixed breed dog named "Charlie" who loves all dogs, cats and even the chickens. Your pet would have our undivided attention! We absolutely love dogs and cats.

About: Hi! I’m Gaby, a full-time professional pet sitter and lifelong animal lover. Caring for animals isn’t a side job for me, it’s full time job and passion! One of the biggest benefits of booking with me is that I do this full-time, which means your pets receive far more attention, companionship, and supervision than they would with sitters who work traditional 9–5 jobs or are in and out all day. Your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches of the day, and their comfort, safety, and routine will always be my top priority. I have professional experience working in daycare and boarding environments, including Kennelwood Animal Resort and Y Bark Alone. Through that experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m comfortable administering medications (both oral and injections), handling puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets, and recognizing signs that a pet may be stressed, anxious, or unwell. When I watch your babies, they aren’t just another booking. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they deserve. You’ll receive tons of pupdates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in caring hands. My goal is to become the sitter you can rely on whenever you need help, a trusted person who treats your pets like family and provides the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own! I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies!🐶🐾 Rover is my full time job at the moment so my schedule is very open to give your pet the proper time and attention they deserve. How I care for your fur baby is completely contingent on the owner. I follow all guidelines they have set in place whatever those may be. But you can trust they are always in the best of hands.

My journey in professional animal care began at the tender age of 10. Throughout my life, I've been entrusted with the care of my neighbors' beloved pets, handling tasks from walks to feeding and bathing. Their trust in my abilities was a testament to my dedication and professionalism. From potty training to obedience and even teaching tricks, I'm well-versed in various aspects of pet training. Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart, and their unique needs are met with gentle care and affection. Cats, too, find a kindred spirit in me.

I make sure pets are fed according to their owner’s instructions, have fresh water, a clean space, and time for play, attention, and comfort. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, or energy levels so I can communicate any concerns quickly. With cats especially, I understand the importance of respecting their space, earning their trust, maintaining litter box routines, and providing gentle interaction based on their personality. As a registered nurse, I’m trained to pay close attention to details, follow instructions carefully, and recognize when something may not be right. I understand how important it is to communicate clearly and provide updates so you know your pets are safe and cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel secure while their owners are away.

About: Hey friends! I graduated with an AAS in Veterinary Technology in 2019 from Muscatine, Iowa. I have been a Licensed Veterinary Technician since 2020 and I absolutely love it. I have a large passion for animal care and know that they deserve as much love as people do. My family and friends have always had animals as well, so I’ve helped with them here and there. I’ve done quite a few jobs on here and it’s always been a great experience! I am CPR trained for both cats and dogs and know how to give various medications in various ways. I worked at Northgate Small Animal Hospital in Collinsville, IL for over 2 years and recently quit this year due to my CF, but I still keep up to date with my licensure! I can work with dogs, cats, and small exotic animals including hamsters, Guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, etc. Don’t worry, you can trust me with all of your fur babies!!! As previously mentioned, I quit working as a Vet Tech in 2023 do to hardships with my Cystic Fibrosis. I still do Rover jobs, so feel free to ask me if you need me! I had a baby earlier this year in April, so my schedule will depend on him and that of my hubbys! Other than that, just let me know and ask me! I don’t watch animals at my home due to our dog, Chief, being dog aggressive but I’m always happy to come to your home and visit your pets! I’m happy to follow a schedule or do whatever you need while at your home!

About: Hi! I’m Sarah! I’m a dog mom myself and genuinely love getting to spend time with other people’s pups. I started dog sitting for family and friends and loved it enough that I decided to branch out and meet some new furry friends! I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m able to spend lots of time with the dogs I’m caring for. I know every dog has their own personality, quirks, and routine, and I’m happy to follow whatever makes your pup happiest and most comfortable while you’re away. As a dog owner, I also know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away without worrying about how your pup is doing. Expect lots of love, attention, playtime, and plenty of picture updates! Basically, I’m very happy being the person who talks to your dog like they’re a human and sends you way too many pictures of them. 🐾 I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pup throughout the day! I’m available for regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and bedtime routine so their stay feels as familiar and comfortable as possible. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, dogs are always leashed and supervised outside, and I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and multiple walks throughout the day. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pup is in good hands. I’ll follow any instructions you provide and do my best to keep their routine consistent while you’re away.
