About: Every pet is unique. I tailor my care plans to meet your pet's individual personality and needs, whether that means high-energy playtime or patience with a shy pet, always using a gentle, force-free approach. I offer 24/7 Furbo live camera access. My goal is to provide exceptional, worry-free care, treating your pet like family while ensuring their safety and happiness in your absence. As a full-time stay-at-home mom, I am home the majority of the day, allowing me to provide a high level of attention and supervision for your pet. Unlike sitters with traditional 9-to-5 jobs, my flexible schedule means more playtime, more potty breaks, and consistent companionship for your furry family member. Pet-proofed my home securing trash bins, cover sharp corners, keep toilet lids down, and removing or locking away any toxic or dangerous items. I use baby gates and childproof locks to block off certain areas. I set up a comfortable, low-traffic area with an orthopedic bed and futon couch or if your pet needs to be kenneled or crated at night that can be offered as well. I ensure to use toys and chews that are appropriate for the pet's size and species. I do not have a fenced in yard but I will make sure your pet is using their collar/harness and leash when outside at all times.

I have left 1 review in my lifetime. I had to do another for Becca. She was amazing. I was looking last minute for pet care while we went on vacation because 2 of our cats required medicine. My cats are my babies so I was nervous to leave them with anyone but Becca will be my first call & recommendation for anyone looking for a sitter. She took our kitties into her home & was able to keep them in a really nice space, separate from her pets (what I requested). She administered shots & oral medication. She sent many updates & photos playing with the cats. Overall, Becca was very sweet & accommodating. 12/10!!!

About: I’ve taken care of many animals for some time now whether it be lizards, cats, dogs, or fish. Family and friends could always put their trust in me when I take care of their pets. I own a cat so I take care of him daily, feed him twice a day, give him toys, bathe him ever so often (depending if he goes outside), brush him because he has long fur. So he fits right in with my schedule and I give him cuddles all the time! I care for my pet everyday! I feed him twice a day ( morning and night) maybe a few treats, I’ll bathe him when needed but not too often cause it hurts their fur coat, clip his nails when needed, brush him just about everyday. I will especially give him cuddles whenever I see him!

About: I'm a Vet Tech who has been caring for animals for a very long time and have tons of experience. Not only do I have knowledge on animals, but I also have a strong passion and love for all of them! Spending time with animals, walks, and play time is very important for pets, so i'm very pleased and willing to help owners out with needs. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have, I am very flexible and willing to work with you. I look forwards to hearing from you and getting the chance to be a part of your pets life! Any size, any energy level, any issues, I've seen it all, so please do not be hesitant when reaching out. My boyfriend and I also enjoy doing this together and work around each others schedules and take turns with visits or usually go together for new clients. I currently work full time so I prefer to do in home pet sitting when needed. I have many previous experiences doing this and feel the pets are more comfortable this way. Pet safety is extremely important whether making sure they are staying within a fenced in yard or being walked outside properly on a leash. I do my very best to ensure safety.

HIRE CHRIS. I won the lottery with him. It was my first time using Rover. I have a special needs rabbit who needed a caretaker after a rabbit boarding service was no longer available. I messaged several sitters and Chris was the first to respond. He is responsive and communicative. What I absolutely love about Chris, among many things, is that he asks questions. Not in a "what do I do" kind of way. Rather, "how do I do this to make sure it's done correctly". My special needs rabbit is on a specialized diet. I left Chris with instructions, which he followed to a tee, but he also sent a photo of the food. (My rabbit is feed very soft, watered down pellets and Critical Care due to recent dental surgery). I'm happy that he did because my rabbit can't chew on pellets. He sent lots of photos of Moo, too. Chris was also flexible with the initial meet 'n' greet appointment and visiting my landlord's office to pick up my front door key (which has to be loaned out). One of the reasons I chose Chris was his close proximity to my apartment. I will 5000% hire Chris again for my rabbit sitting needs. He took great care of my very special needs rabbit and Moo liked him too! I recommend him for your pet sitting needs, including small mammals!

About: I have had dogs for over 30 years, including a Dalmatian, American Eskimo, and Australian Shepherd-all high energy dogs. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family when they’ve gone on vacation. I am a calm, caring, and active person who will love your dog like my own. I teach part time in the morning, every other day. Other than that, I have plenty of time to take your dog on walks, play ball, and feed them. I have a fenced in yard, quiet neighborhood, and plenty of dog toys to keep your puppy/dog happy. I also have a two year old Australian shepherd that can be a playmate to other friendly dogs if the dogs are socialized. In case of bad weather, we have plenty of room in our house to accommodate another dog.

About: I treat every pet like family. I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and quirks so they feel safe, loved, and understood while you're away. I'm not just here to check a box—I genuinely enjoy bonding with animals and making sure their tails keep wagging! Whether it’s going the extra mile for a nervous pup or making sure a senior pet gets their meds on time, I show up with care, patience, and a big heart. You'll get regular updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Over the summer we have 24/7 care in our home. Once school starts I will only be available weekends, however I do have other people in my home to accommodate requests as needed. I have a fenced in yard and space for a crate in my home. I work to make sure the environment is clean and suits the needs of your pet.

I am a student having summers off, which makes my schedule flexible. I understand that our animals may feel more comfortable in their own home. Unfortunately, my own pets don’t allow for play dates at my house. I am more than willing to spend time with your pups in the comfort of your own home.

About: Hi there! I'm Danae - Your Pet's New Best Friend 🐾 Animals have always held a special place in my heart. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other furry companions, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely loving to look after your pet. Whether it's long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or just some comforting company while you're away, I'm here to give your pet the care and attention they deserve. I provide personalized, safe, and loving care – just like they’d get at home. I'm also comfortable administering medication, handling special diets, and supporting pets with unique needs. If you need a weekly schedule I would be more than happy to find a time that works for both me and your fur baby! I have two dogs who love to run around and play. I'd prefer to stay at the customers house to take care of the dog.

About: I have had dogs for over 30 years, including a Dalmatian, American Eskimo, and Australian Shepherd-all high energy dogs. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family when they’ve gone on vacation. I am a calm, caring, and active person who will love your dog like my own. I teach part time in the morning, every other day. Other than that, I have plenty of time to take your dog on walks, play ball, and feed them. I have a fenced in yard, quiet neighborhood, and plenty of dog toys to keep your puppy/dog happy. I also have a two year old Australian shepherd that can be a playmate to other friendly dogs if the dogs are socialized. In case of bad weather, we have plenty of room in our house to accommodate another dog.

About: for the past 20 years, I've trained and exercised my own dogs while being available for friends and clients to care for their pets while they're away. My strengths lie in walking, obedience practice, agility work. I can also bathe and brush As a realtor, I am able to set my own schedule each day. If I know far enough ahead of time, I can easily be available to visit a pet client. Because of both size of my house and the needs of my own dogs, I will not be available to keep dogs in my own home.

About: I’ve taken care of many animals for some time now whether it be lizards, cats, dogs, or fish. Family and friends could always put their trust in me when I take care of their pets. I own a cat so I take care of him daily, feed him twice a day, give him toys, bathe him ever so often (depending if he goes outside), brush him because he has long fur. So he fits right in with my schedule and I give him cuddles all the time! I care for my pet everyday! I feed him twice a day ( morning and night) maybe a few treats, I’ll bathe him when needed but not too often cause it hurts their fur coat, clip his nails when needed, brush him just about everyday. I will especially give him cuddles whenever I see him!

About: I'm a Vet Tech who has been caring for animals for a very long time and have tons of experience. Not only do I have knowledge on animals, but I also have a strong passion and love for all of them! Spending time with animals, walks, and play time is very important for pets, so i'm very pleased and willing to help owners out with needs. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have, I am very flexible and willing to work with you. I look forwards to hearing from you and getting the chance to be a part of your pets life! Any size, any energy level, any issues, I've seen it all, so please do not be hesitant when reaching out. My boyfriend and I also enjoy doing this together and work around each others schedules and take turns with visits or usually go together for new clients. I currently work full time so I prefer to do in home pet sitting when needed. I have many previous experiences doing this and feel the pets are more comfortable this way. Pet safety is extremely important whether making sure they are staying within a fenced in yard or being walked outside properly on a leash. I do my very best to ensure safety.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Starting at a young age, I was responsible for feeding, walking, and cleaning up after our family dogs. By the time I was 15, I began caring for a neighbor’s dog whenever they were out of town, building early experience in pet sitting and responsibility. Today, I’m 24 with dogs of my own, including one with medical needs, so I’m familiar with administering medication and maintaining a consistent care routine. In the summer of 2024, I even raised a litter of puppies, which deepened my understanding of early puppy development and the importance of socialization. From bathing and grooming to staying active with my pack, caring for dogs is a daily part of my life and something I’m deeply passionate about. Although I work full time during the week, my evenings are dedicated to spending quality time with my dogs. We enjoy walking, playing, and relaxing together. I’m also off on weekends, which gives me the perfect opportunity to help others who may be busy or working by making sure their dogs get the exercise and attention they need. I’m happy to offer weekend availability and evening flexibility to support both pets and their owners. I live on a spacious 2 acre property with a securely fenced in section of the yard dedicated to the dogs. The backyard is enclosed with three gates, each equipped with locks to ensure safety and prevent any clever pups from nudging them open. This setup provides a safe, open space for dogs to play, explore, and relax while giving owners peace of mind.

About: My boyfriend and I have always had animals in our lives. Growing up he lived on a farm with dogs, cats, goats, pigs etc. and I have had dogs and cats my whole life. We currently have 2 beautiful Great Danes, a bunch of rabbits, outside kitties, and 3 chinchillas! Our dogs love people, small animals, and would love a bigger dog to run around with. We would love to cuddle with your fur babies, go for walks, or just play in the fenced yard! With summer coming up we know that it’s going to be vacation time, you deserve to be able to enjoy and relax on vacation while knowing your animals are well taken care of. Me and my boyfriend work mornings and get lunch breaks half way through, so we’d be able to check on your animals even while working and we can be with them all afternoon. On Wednesdays and Thursdays we are both off so they’d get us all day! We have a 2 story house with lots of room for them to lay around and have their own space if needed. We also have a large backyard that is fenced off already for our dogs.

About: I've had many cats through the years. Currently have 5 of my own including 2 sphynx. I have sadly lost a few cats over the years and I've had to take care of my sick babies so I'm not afraid to take care of sick pets or give medicine as needed. Currently I have to give one of my own cats medicine every other day for his asthma. I'm just a animal lover. Most animals like me. I've also had a couple of dogs over the years but don't currently have any but I love them. I love walking them and playing with them. I'm so looking forward to taking care of your fur babies. 😊 I work full time in Freeport but get an hour break so am available for 30 min walks or drop ins during that time. Also am available after work and most weekends. I clean litter boxes every couple of days and play with my cats daily. Make sure they always have food and water. Wet food in the morning and sometimes treats. Walks too of course. I make sure they get all the love and attention they want and need.

About: Hello, my name Kayla! I stumbled upon Rover on Facebook, I absolutely love all animals so I couldn't resist trying this out! My family has owned many dogs throughout my whole life, big and small so I am use to either and I understand what it takes to take care of them and make them happy. I believe owning a pet is just as important as seeing and treating them as your own child! So if anyone ever needs a sitter or just think your pet could use some fun time, walks/runs in the park, I’m your girl! :) If you have any questions feel free to ask! have a lot of availability for walks, house sitting, and drop-in visits. My schedule isn't always consistent but I will post which days I am not available on my calendar! I will treat your animal just as I would my own, and he is SPOILED. I understand how stressful it is to leave your animal with someone you aren't familiar with. I will do my best to make sure your fur baby is comfortable and happy just as if it were you taking care of them. They will always get love with me <3

About: Every pet is unique. I tailor my care plans to meet your pet's individual personality and needs, whether that means high-energy playtime or patience with a shy pet, always using a gentle, force-free approach. I offer 24/7 Furbo live camera access. My goal is to provide exceptional, worry-free care, treating your pet like family while ensuring their safety and happiness in your absence. As a full-time stay-at-home mom, I am home the majority of the day, allowing me to provide a high level of attention and supervision for your pet. Unlike sitters with traditional 9-to-5 jobs, my flexible schedule means more playtime, more potty breaks, and consistent companionship for your furry family member. Pet-proofed my home securing trash bins, cover sharp corners, keep toilet lids down, and removing or locking away any toxic or dangerous items. I use baby gates and childproof locks to block off certain areas. I set up a comfortable, low-traffic area with an orthopedic bed and futon couch or if your pet needs to be kenneled or crated at night that can be offered as well. I ensure to use toys and chews that are appropriate for the pet's size and species. I do not have a fenced in yard but I will make sure your pet is using their collar/harness and leash when outside at all times.

I have left 1 review in my lifetime. I had to do another for Becca. She was amazing. I was looking last minute for pet care while we went on vacation because 2 of our cats required medicine. My cats are my babies so I was nervous to leave them with anyone but Becca will be my first call & recommendation for anyone looking for a sitter. She took our kitties into her home & was able to keep them in a really nice space, separate from her pets (what I requested). She administered shots & oral medication. She sent many updates & photos playing with the cats. Overall, Becca was very sweet & accommodating. 12/10!!!
