“As a first-time Rover user and a nervous dog mom, I was hesitant to leave Banjo with anyone, especially since we just adopted him from a shelter. However, Jenelle completely exceeded my expectations. She was incredibly thoughtful and even suggested a meet-and-greet before the stay to make sure Banjo would be comfortable. She showed such patience and care with him, especially since he’s a shy and nervous dog. Throughout our trip, Jenelle kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which really helped ease my worries. Banjo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had the best time with Jenelle and her own dogs. I think he was a little upset that we were taking him home because he had so much fun!! We’re so grateful for her wonderful care and will absolutely be leaving Banjo with her for all our future trips. Highly recommend!!”
“We brought our dog back to Melissa’s for another weekend stay and our dog was SO excited when we got to her house! I can’t say enough great things about Melissa - she always responds quickly and sends multiple adorable updates/pictures a day, helping me know that my dog is happy and safe. She’s definitely our go-to sitter from now on!”
“Thank you Khanh for your service. Our experience with you was wonderful. Thank you for sending us pictures and updates on Shumu everyday that we're gone. Now we're not hesitating to go on more trips knowing he is well taken care of. We appreciate you very very much. Looking forward to seeing you again. Shumu”
“Chelsea was amazing she treated my dog as if it was her own! she updated us daily with pictures and texts to let us know that our Teddy was doing good. Great personality, great with dogs and kids felt super comfortable. Highly recommend her. Kathy & Steve Levine”
“Jennifer was great!! She watched our 7 m/o Lab for the weekend and was very communicative and sent lots of pictures/videos. Would 100% recommend her to anyone and we will use her again if needed! Thank you Jennifer!!”
“Megan and her family is just amazing. She took care of my sweet Lana very well. she always was in contact and made feel so confident while my dog was with them. Definitely Lana will visit Megan again 🥰”
About: Hey! I am a huge advocate for all dogs to be treated with dignity, love, and respect. For me this means providing a safe and secure environment for their needs, an insane amount of cuddles, daily exercise, and abiding to the rules given by their owners. I have had dogs all my life, and currently I have 2 wonderful dogs: Diggie- a 2yr old 75lb male Lab/Pittie mix who is neutered. Fozzie- a 1yr 30lb male mix who is neutered. I have 2 kids aged 3yrs and 11yrs who have both been taught how to act properly around dogs. I have a big fenced in yard that my dogs love to run around in and lots of toys. If I sound like the right fit for your pup to go to while you are away, I am so happy to meet them! I currently work 2 days a week fully from home- so I have a lot of free time. I usually work Friday and Saturday nights. I can do drop in visits and dog walks Fridays and Saturdays before 2pm, but any other day is fully open. Being that I work from home, I can still board on Fridays and Saturdays. I do prefer if your fur baby is potty trained, but that being said- happy, excited, and nervous accidents happen and that is absolutely okay! :) I have a newly fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play. My dogs are very high energy and have loved playing with previous foster dogs. Just to be on the safe side, I will put your dog in a separate room/section to eat. When it comes to animals, they are family and I completely understand that a stranger watching them can be scary- I am more than happy to do a meet and greet with you and your fur baby/babies as well as send updates however often you would like during their stay.
“Alyssa was very nice and took care of our high energy husky mix (Jayda) while we were away. This was the first time having someone watch her other than my sister (who was the foster mom we got her from). Alyssa had several playmates that Jayda got along with and got to play a lot. She also found some new treats for us to try with Jayda. We got Jayda home and she seems tuckered out. Which is good. :-)”
“My dog seemed to have a great time, and Faith was conscientious about addressing any problems and did a great job of caring for Max for over a month. Would highly recommend Faith!”
“Leslee was great! Our Australian Shepherd mix doesn't always get on with other dogs, so we wanted someone without other pets, which can be hard to find sometimes. Thankfully, we found Leslee and she took great care of our girl while we're gone for a week. We got pictures almost every night, and communication with Leslee was great. If we find ourselves going on another trip where we have to leave our pup home, we'll definitely be looking to see if Leslee is available!”
“Gracie and her husband were soooo good with our Leia! She sent us plenty of pictures and updates to let us know that she was doing well! Luma and Camo were such good friends to Leia while she was there!”
“Emily did a wonderful job and provided an enjoyable and safe environment for our 4 dogs inside and outside of her home. She was also always easy to communicate with and quick to respond. She put us at ease with sending us photos of our babies at her home relaxing and playing. Would use her again.”
“Rachelle is such a great sitter, Our pup Layla loves staying over and getting play time with Rizzo. Layla is a high energy pup and Rachelle is great with her. Rachelle is so nice and goes above and beyond to work with us when we are scheduling and constantly keeps us up to date with how the visit is going while we are away. I highly recommend Rachelle and I know our pup looks forward to future visits!”
“Becky and Joe were great! Becky kept us updated throughout Franklin’s stay and was always willing to send photos! Their house is exceptionally dog friendly with toys, a backyard, and a crate if need be. Franklin loved snuggling, spending time outside, and playing with their other two goldens!”

“Very professional sitter; we had a short in person meeting before the appointments to go over my cats' feeding schedule and she was sure to send update pictures of them at each visit. Definitely would book her again!”

About: Growing up, we always had cats so I have several years of experience with caring for them. I do not currently have any cats, but I recently cared for my mother in law’s cat for about 5 months in my home. Both of my dogs love cats 💗
“Carson is a delight to have watch my cat! She shares lots of pictures and updates with each visit which I really appreciate. She also flagged a storm that was set to occur while I was out of town and helped me come up with a backup plan in case she wasn’t able to get to my cat those days. Really appreciate her thoroughness, communication, and reliability!”

About: I've watched dogs and cats of friends, family and strangers on and off for the past 10 years. I have experienced with small to XL dogs, young and older! I’m a stay at home mom. Our boys are rarely home alone for more than a couple hours at a time, a couple days a week. I have a fenced yard and two boys that are ready to play. They have unlimited access to the yard, toys and water. We have a cat who is very friendly, but will most likely keep to himself.
“We arrived and Khanh was ready to take on Gracie Mae. We set up her things in a back room as she had another bigger dog in the front, made us feel safe. Gracie Mae was fed and watered. When I arrived all of Gracie Mae items were packed up and ready to go. Gracie Mae must of had a fun time, she was sleepy and took a rest on the way home. Thank you Khanh.”

About: I used to volunteer at an animal shelter, and I learned how to attentively take instructions when it came to the care of an animal. I have dealt with dogs and cats that have digestive issues, as well as knowing my way around taking care of (oral) medication. I am also used to dogs or cats that need daily exercise or some that are very energetic and need a lot of attention. Before moving to New Mexico, I had two dogs, and I was always keen on keeping them safe + well taken care of, but most importantly, checking that they were always happy and healthy. And I would be honored to take care of your pet in the same manner. Because I am searching for work, all of my time is dedicated to Rover at the moment. I am available every day of the week. I have a two bedroom apartment and two cats, so I cannot board any fur babies in my home unless you are absolutely sure they are okay around cats. On the other hand, I can guarantee that I will keep an eye on any pets I take care of in a client's home, as well as provide updates based on your preference!
About: Greetings! My name is Parker Troxell I currently work as a registered nurse at OSF. Pet sitting is my passion when not taking care of my patients! I always strive to meet the unique needs of my clients, no matter what they may be. With a background in the medical field and a bright, loving personality, I connect easily with all types of animals. I understand that my rates may be a bit higher than some other sitters, but I offer a calm, safe, and personalized environment for your pets. When I care for pets in my home, there are no other animals or children present, so your pet will have a peaceful stay without added stress or risk of accidents. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pets and home are in trustworthy hands. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to hear from you! Client home care will consist of whatever the client specifically desires. We can do play time, potty time, walks, or any other service they may need. The safety and well-being of your pet are my top priorities. I deeply respect your pet care preferences and needs, ensuring they receive the love, time, and attention they deserve. Your pet will always be in caring and capable hands with me.
“Karen is a great pup sitter!! My dog responded to her right away and it was very obvious that she had a great time with Karen and her 2 furbabies. Was very comfortable leaving my pup at her home in her care.”
“Rachelle was wonderfully attentive and extremely helpful when our family needed help with Levi. She accommodated his needs and understood our scheduling needs. Her home and pups were extremely welcoming and Levi had a delightful day being loved and cared for by Rachelle and playing with her pack!”
About: I am a loving dog person. I'm playful and energetic as well as fit to fill your dog's needs. I'm experienced with taking care and training of family's dogs over 17 years. Also great with all types of dogs all breeds, and animals in general. I'm available throughout most times of the night or day. I'm fit and athletic to keep up or work out your dog if need be. I understand the variety and diversity in dog breeds, their energy, and behavior so I can work with them to keep them happy and healthy. Most new dogs I meet warm up to me in just a matter of minutes. I hope you can consider me to walk, play, care, and sit for your dog. If you think my prices are too low or high, we can talk about it and adjust/modify it for you. I currently have lots of time throughout the day to feed and care for your pet. I may have appts. coming up and will try to fit you in. Your pet will be in a safe environment under a watchful eye. I rarely meet any pets don't feel safe or do not like me.
“Evee had an absolutely amazing time! Sami sent updates everyday and included pictures, I loved knowing my girl was well taken care of she got to go to the park, had lots of cuddles, and was visibly excited to see sami by day 3, would definitely book again and recommend to anyone!”
“LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE taking Rambo to Melissa! Her and her boys keep Rambo so entertained. He gets in the car and immediately goes to sleep lol I can tell he loves being with Melissa and her family!”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat pets as members of the family, not just animals I’m watching. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, including shy or nervous dogs who need extra patience to build trust. I’m attentive to details, follow routines closely, and understand how important consistency is for a pet’s comfort and well-being. Because I care for my own dogs daily, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels and communicating concerns promptly. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also respecting each pet’s individual needs and boundaries. My goal is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owners are away, and for owners to have peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving personalized care. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have two dogs, so I’m used to feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, monitoring behavior, and making sure they get plenty of attention throughout the day. I also stay on top of things like cleaning up after them, maintaining their routine, and watching for any signs that something might be off. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so fitting pet care into my day feels very natural. In my home, pets are treated like family. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and playtime. I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment where pets receive plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. I closely monitor their behavior, appetite, and energy levels and will follow any instructions regarding medications, dietary needs, or special care. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while they are in my care.
About: Finding the right sitter matters — especially when your dog needs more than just a walk and a bowl refill. That’s where I come in. I have over 15 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs and behaviorally challenging cases, I’ve cared for and handled dogs with a wide range of needs. My background includes extensive volunteer work at animal shelters, where I gained valuable experience reading canine body language, managing stress, and working safely with dogs that require extra patience and structure. In 2021, I earned my Certified Dog Trainer credential through Animal Behavior College, and I continue my education through Leerburg University, focusing on canine behavior, handling, and communication. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach — every dog is different, and I tailor my care to what helps your dog feel safe, calm, and confident. If you’ve been told your dog is “too difficult” or “too much” for most sitters, I encourage you to reach out. I have experience with reactive, anxious, high-drive, and medically complex dogs, including administering medications and injections when needed. My goal is not just to watch your dog, but to advocate for them while you’re away. For safety and individualized care, I only accept one family of dogs at a time. This allows me to focus fully on your dog’s routine, comfort, and well-being — no overcrowding, no chaos. I’d love to schedule a meet & greet so we can make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. You’ll leave knowing your dog is in capable, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring hands. Thanks for stopping by my profile — I look forward to meeting you and your best friend soon. I'm hoping to make canine boarding/training my new job. I still work full time in a hybrid remote role. I will only accept boarding reservations where I know I will be home. I prefer to exercise dogs by walking them, but will do anything to keep your friends on their own routine. Anything you can share with me about your dogs preferred routine will help me keep their schedule as normal as possible.

About: I've had in home pets for 25 years continuously. I am new to inside cats, but I'm learning quickly about what they entail. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and they all seem to end up cuddling with me, even at the same time. I have a weird schedule, a few hours in the morning and another few in the afternoon, so multiple check-ins a day a few hours apart are no problem. I have a secure outside pen for potty breaks. All of my fur babies are friendly, so new introductions would be welcome and safe in our home.
About: I am a Certified Pet Sitter-Dog Walker and insured and bonded. I've been taking care of animals most of my life. I've worked with animal shelters and transport teams to help get dogs to their forever home. My schedule is flexible, and I would love to fill my free time with caring for your pets. I know we all have busy schedules and sometimes are unable to give our pets our full attention. I'd like to help you with that so your pet can get all the attention they deserve. <3 Making sure your pets stay happy, healthy and safe in my care is my number one priority. When it comes to working in a client's home, I am always respectful of their house rules and routines.

About: I have experience administering all kinds of medication to all ages of dogs. I love meeting your older dogs and have experience helping them navigate stairs and the home if necessary. I am patient and if your dog needs extra accommodation I am happy to provide assistance. I am currently a college student on break for the summer so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am available for early mornings, late nights, and everything in between. I understand it can be nerve racking trusting someone with your pet, but I am extremely communicative and will keep you updated as frequently as you wish. I have pet sat for multiple families who have always returned to tidy homes and happy pets. As someone who has had the privilege of loving many animals, big and small (snakes, lizards, geckos, cat, hamsters), I understand the importance of your pet.
About: I have experience with taking care of cats dogs and bird. I’ve worked hands-on as a vet nurse, so I’m comfortable giving medications and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own.” I do work full time and would need 1-2 weeks in advance if house sitting. I am available on occasional wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays after 10am I understand that pets feel sad when their owners are out of town, but rest assured I will try to the best of my ability, to make them feel loved, safe and well taken care of until you return.
About: *NOW OFFERING DISCOUNTED RATES!* *I am currently on hiatus from house sitting! I will offer that service again soon!* After a brief break due to adjusting to a new city, I’m back to doing what I love: caring for your furry family members! With 50+ 5-star reviews and years of experience, I’m here to offer dependable, loving care again. I've had pets of my own my entire life and have cared for pets of friends, family, and neighbors for years! I love being around animals and have 3 babies of my own. I'll love your best friend as much as I love my own! I am reliable, punctual, and energetic and always willing to do what I can to help out! I have an anxious, aggressive, and arthritic Chihuahua of my own, so I have experience with more "neurotic" pets as well as experience with medication. One of my cats is 13 years old, so I also have experience with senior care (as well as cat medication, too!). I also have experience with guinea pigs, rats, rabbits, and reptiles! I just moved to the Galesburg area and am currently unemployed, so have wide availability to care for your pets! If I am house sitting, I can typically spend overnight and the majority of the day there! *Note: I am currently on hiatus from house sitting services! I currently do not offer house sitting/boarding in my own home, as my 3 pets aren't comfortable with new animals in their environment. Eventually, I hope to be able to set up a system where I can provide that service! I do have a playpen and door fences that I use for my own dog, so could potentially provide temporary boarding if the circumstance is right! When I come into a home for sitting, I am always acknowledging that I am not only in another person's space but the pet's space as well. I do everything I can to be respectful and aware of boundaries. Following routines to keep the pet comfortable is essential in building the bond!

“As a first-time Rover user and a nervous dog mom, I was hesitant to leave Banjo with anyone, especially since we just adopted him from a shelter. However, Jenelle completely exceeded my expectations. She was incredibly thoughtful and even suggested a meet-and-greet before the stay to make sure Banjo would be comfortable. She showed such patience and care with him, especially since he’s a shy and nervous dog. Throughout our trip, Jenelle kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which really helped ease my worries. Banjo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had the best time with Jenelle and her own dogs. I think he was a little upset that we were taking him home because he had so much fun!! We’re so grateful for her wonderful care and will absolutely be leaving Banjo with her for all our future trips. Highly recommend!!”
“Chelsea was amazing she treated my dog as if it was her own! she updated us daily with pictures and texts to let us know that our Teddy was doing good. Great personality, great with dogs and kids felt super comfortable. Highly recommend her. Kathy & Steve Levine”
“Jennifer was great!! She watched our 7 m/o Lab for the weekend and was very communicative and sent lots of pictures/videos. Would 100% recommend her to anyone and we will use her again if needed! Thank you Jennifer!!”

About: Hey! I am a huge advocate for all dogs to be treated with dignity, love, and respect. For me this means providing a safe and secure environment for their needs, an insane amount of cuddles, daily exercise, and abiding to the rules given by their owners. I have had dogs all my life, and currently I have 2 wonderful dogs: Diggie- a 2yr old 75lb male Lab/Pittie mix who is neutered. Fozzie- a 1yr 30lb male mix who is neutered. I have 2 kids aged 3yrs and 11yrs who have both been taught how to act properly around dogs. I have a big fenced in yard that my dogs love to run around in and lots of toys. If I sound like the right fit for your pup to go to while you are away, I am so happy to meet them! I currently work 2 days a week fully from home- so I have a lot of free time. I usually work Friday and Saturday nights. I can do drop in visits and dog walks Fridays and Saturdays before 2pm, but any other day is fully open. Being that I work from home, I can still board on Fridays and Saturdays. I do prefer if your fur baby is potty trained, but that being said- happy, excited, and nervous accidents happen and that is absolutely okay! :) I have a newly fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play. My dogs are very high energy and have loved playing with previous foster dogs. Just to be on the safe side, I will put your dog in a separate room/section to eat. When it comes to animals, they are family and I completely understand that a stranger watching them can be scary- I am more than happy to do a meet and greet with you and your fur baby/babies as well as send updates however often you would like during their stay.
“Alyssa was very nice and took care of our high energy husky mix (Jayda) while we were away. This was the first time having someone watch her other than my sister (who was the foster mom we got her from). Alyssa had several playmates that Jayda got along with and got to play a lot. She also found some new treats for us to try with Jayda. We got Jayda home and she seems tuckered out. Which is good. :-)”
“My dog seemed to have a great time, and Faith was conscientious about addressing any problems and did a great job of caring for Max for over a month. Would highly recommend Faith!”
“Gracie and her husband were soooo good with our Leia! She sent us plenty of pictures and updates to let us know that she was doing well! Luma and Camo were such good friends to Leia while she was there!”
“Rachelle is such a great sitter, Our pup Layla loves staying over and getting play time with Rizzo. Layla is a high energy pup and Rachelle is great with her. Rachelle is so nice and goes above and beyond to work with us when we are scheduling and constantly keeps us up to date with how the visit is going while we are away. I highly recommend Rachelle and I know our pup looks forward to future visits!”
“Becky and Joe were great! Becky kept us updated throughout Franklin’s stay and was always willing to send photos! Their house is exceptionally dog friendly with toys, a backyard, and a crate if need be. Franklin loved snuggling, spending time outside, and playing with their other two goldens!”
“Melissa was incredible and so easy to communicate with My dog got to play with her lovely puppy! And they both were tiring each other out! The yard was a bonus! Melissa sent updates regularly and kept up with my puppy Keanu Reeves! Will use again! She was amazing!”
About: Finding the right sitter matters — especially when your dog needs more than just a walk and a bowl refill. That’s where I come in. I have over 15 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs and behaviorally challenging cases, I’ve cared for and handled dogs with a wide range of needs. My background includes extensive volunteer work at animal shelters, where I gained valuable experience reading canine body language, managing stress, and working safely with dogs that require extra patience and structure. In 2021, I earned my Certified Dog Trainer credential through Animal Behavior College, and I continue my education through Leerburg University, focusing on canine behavior, handling, and communication. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach — every dog is different, and I tailor my care to what helps your dog feel safe, calm, and confident. If you’ve been told your dog is “too difficult” or “too much” for most sitters, I encourage you to reach out. I have experience with reactive, anxious, high-drive, and medically complex dogs, including administering medications and injections when needed. My goal is not just to watch your dog, but to advocate for them while you’re away. For safety and individualized care, I only accept one family of dogs at a time. This allows me to focus fully on your dog’s routine, comfort, and well-being — no overcrowding, no chaos. I’d love to schedule a meet & greet so we can make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. You’ll leave knowing your dog is in capable, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring hands. Thanks for stopping by my profile — I look forward to meeting you and your best friend soon. I'm hoping to make canine boarding/training my new job. I still work full time in a hybrid remote role. I will only accept boarding reservations where I know I will be home. I prefer to exercise dogs by walking them, but will do anything to keep your friends on their own routine. Anything you can share with me about your dogs preferred routine will help me keep their schedule as normal as possible.
“Hector was very responsive and kind! Our girls (2 big doggos) seemed ever comfortable and happy with him. He did his best to soothe them after many transitions for them all at once. He was also flexible when we changed dates and asked for different drop off times. He also sent me updates which was very helpful!! Thank you, Hector!”
