That is the longest he has stayed away from us and he was in great shape when we picked him up. He was very well taken care of, and we received daily reports from her that were very reassuring. It was like a home away from home. We definitely plan to have him stay where whenever needed in the future! Thank you Beatrice!”

“Vishvesh and Julia provided exceptional care for my girls, Maple and Maisy! From the moment I dropped them off, I felt completely at ease. They kept me updated throughout their stay with pictures and messages, which made being away from my girls so much less stressful. When Maple and Maisy came home, they were calm, happy, and clearly very well loved. They came back ready to give us all of the love and joy they had received from Vishvesh and Julia. 🐾❤️ They even went the extra mile and brought my girls home, which meant so much to me. I am beyond grateful for the care, attention, and love they gave my girls. You can tell when someone genuinely loves animals, and Maple and Maisy definitely found that with Vishvesh and Julia. Five stars isn't even enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We highly recommend them and, without a doubt, they are our dog sitters for life! Thank you so much, Vishvesh and Julia, for taking such wonderful care of our girls. We are forever grateful! ❤️🐶🐶”

About: Growing up around my grandma’s kittens and cats gave me an early understanding of feline behavior, comfort, and boundaries. As an adult, I’ve had more hands-on experience caring for cats, which has deepened my appreciation for their unique balance of friendliness and independence. What sets me apart is my patience and respect for letting cats set the pace, along with my experience administering medications mixed into meals when needed. I focus on creating a calm, stress-free environment so cats feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in my presence.

About: I have worked with animals at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where we house dogs, cats, and even birds, bunnies, or hamsters. I worked there for two years, and I have grown up with & been around both dogs and cats my whole life. I am available to care for your fur babies in the mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. I work Monday through Friday at a local law firm, so I have more flexibility for house sitting than dog walking or drop in visits during the day. I can provide treats, toys, and love to a client’s fur baby. I’m able to take dogs on walks and potty breaks, feed and administer medicine to both dogs and cats, crate a dog if needed, or snuggle up with a client’s fur baby.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always been comfortable caring for them. For the past 2.5 years, my wife and I have also been dog parents to our corgi, Riley. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding, playtime, basic routines, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll treat every dog I care for like they’re part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine since we have a dog of our own. I also have the flexibility to work from home whenever needed, so I can be around throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. We have a dog-friendly home with a fenced-in yard and our friendly corgi, Riley. We’ll follow your dog’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions you provide. We want every dog staying with us to feel safe, comfortable, and at home.

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 16. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I am also experienced with larger dogs but also smaller pup/puppies. In the summer of 2019, my older sister adopted the sweetest Pointer puppy. I helped train her and taught her basic commands and how to be able to walk off-leash. I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I am available 24/7 & 365. I am flexible with scheduling. I am only a phone call or text away. I will make sure your pup is fed and well taken care of in your home. I will walk said pup and pick up waste. I will play with pup and monitor if needed. I will play with them and give treats but not in excess, I will make sure pup is walked and fed like I mentioned earlier.

About: I've been studying dog behavior for over 9 years. I also have experience as a veterinary receptionist and grooming assistant. I train pet dogs on good behavior as well as rehabilitation for fearful or aggressive dogs. Safety is my #1 concern. Every dog that comes into my home is treated like family, as I do my own dogs. I am blessed with a large house that has a separate living quarters for the boarding dogs and a big beautiful fenced yard. Both are kept clean and hazard free. I would love to host your dog and make sure you are worry free while you're away! I work with dogs as a career and am home full time. I have a daily routine that changes depending on what dogs I have. Each dog gets fed once or twice, a day depending on owner preference. For medical or dietary reasons feeding can me more or less frequent. Any medications needed will be given. Each dog gets back yard exercise daily. Of course they get plenty of love! 🐾 Saftey and cleanliness are my top concerns. My home is clean and hazard free. I am "puppy proof" and always vigilant. I have accommodations and experience working with aggressive or reactive dogs and can also accommodate/work with kennel anxitey. I am able to keep dogs separate from my personal dogs if needed. Dogs that are friendly will be able to socialize/play with my very well tempered pack, depending on owner preference. I have a fenced yard and there are no gaps or ways to get out. I can also accommodate jumpers using a long recall leash!

Me and my husband are working part time, and we love dogs, so we have plenty of free days to spend and take nice walks with your pup! Our house has a fenced in yard and we also have a few gates so the dogs can’t get to any places they shouldn’t be.

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.

“Jameson had a wonderful play date with other dogs at Kathleen’s. He is a bit tired the day after. I also noticed he was more accepting, less riled, by other dogs on our walk this morning. A couple dogs barked at him and he did not bark back.”

“Yesenia was so great. I was in from out of town and I had a gap between when we needed to be out of the Airbnb and when the class I came for ended. I needed some place to take my dog for a few hours. She was conveniently near where I needed to be. She attentively asked about my dog’s needs (she’s dog-reactive and has anxiety) and provided a safe space for her to be. My dog felt so relaxed that she fell asleep while cuddling with her. Would highly recommend Yesenia’s services!”

About: Hi there, my name is Sami! I've lived with dogs my whole life, big and small - some of which include a Golden Retriever, a Yorkie, and a Maltese. My sister occasionally comes over with her Goldendoodle, and I love spending time with my aunt's Bernese Mountain Dogs when I can visit them. I plan to adopt my own dog later in the future, and perhaps enroll them as a therapy dog to bring comfort to others. I've watched both my sister's and parents' dogs while they are away for the day, and I have some experience in caring for them when they were puppies. I used to walk my parents' dogs in the past, as well. I enjoy interacting with dogs as a whole, and I put their safety and comfort first. I'm an introvert who lives a quiet lifestyle, but I also love to have fun, so if your furry friend needs someone to hang out with while you're away, I'll be there for them! NOTE: Though I adore cats, I am unfortunately allergic and therefore cannot interact with them directly if you have any in your home. I can still feed or play with them via a cat teaser or laser pointer, but I cannot pet them or pick them up. :( Currently, I am working full-time at an elementary school in Minooka. As I share similar hours with our students, my availability Monday through Friday will only be after 3:30pm. On Saturdays and Sundays, I am available during afternoons and evenings, though prior arrangements in advance can be made for a morning walk or drop-in visit! I will update my schedule as soon as anything changes. If you have any questions regarding my schedule for a particular day or week, please don’t hesitate to message me! IMPORTANT: As per Rover’s Terms of Service, please note that I cannot share private contact details or accept methods of payment outside of Rover. This is for the safety and security of all parties involved. When out on a walk, I will make sure your friend is kept safe and away from hazards or things they may be uncomfortable with. When dropping in for a visit, I will make sure their needs are met and everything is secured for their safety. They would never be left unsupervised, and they'll get lots of love and playtime! I will gladly send photos and text updates upon request. Please do let me know your communication frequency preferences, so I don't accidentally disturb you with messages!

I love love love animals, so I definitely want to incorporate pet sitting into my lifestyle; especially if it means I can help others during their travels and such. I’m a new mom, but I have a flexible schedule most days! If my hubby works during the time of your pet’s care, I will have to bring the baby so he’s not left alone. I know the value in crate training, potty/ food schedules if need be, being in a comfortable space for your pet, and anything to maintain their sanctuary at home.

About: I absolutely love animals! My family’s had animals my whole life. If I had more room I’d have so many more! So instead you should let me meet yours ☺️ Thank you! Every morning I get up and let my dogs out to go to the bathroom and then feed them. During the day we hang out and then around dinner time I feed them again and then they sleep in my room with me. I will make sure your animal is taken care of. Make sure they are fed and have water, take them on a walk or any other things needed. I can also clean up any accidents. I do home visits, but I am unable to stay overnight or to have more animals in my home. I am available to come and hang out at your house during the day with your fur baby though!! 😊

About: My passion for dogs has been with me since a very young age. As a child, my dream was to be a vet because of my passion and love for animals. I have 20 years of service, and my approach to caring for my dogs at home has always been holistic and natural. I've reversed my dog's diagnosed disease naturally and have saved his life naturally when vets have told me to put my dog to sleep. I'm thorough with my dogs’ routine, medication, diet, and cleaning eating. That makes me highly prepared for the dogs I tend to. Fun fact: My family and I own 17 pets! Usually, when everyone goes on a family trip, I'm the caregiver for all our pets at once. Hopefully, the background I give of my experience gives you peace in choosing me to watch your babies 🐩🐶🐕 I do freelance work; it's my main source of income. Therefore, it’s easy to create my own schedule and very flexible days and hours. It will be easier for you to book with me as I strive to work with your schedule and needs effortlessly. Personally, with my own dog, I'm highly attentive. Even though we have a backyard, I strongly believe in always being present and attentive when taking your dog out to potty. Even in your own backyard! Anytime they are outside, I will be present. I also think it’s important to interact and be present regularly with them; they need attention and love, too. I make sure to spend time with my dog when I come home and make time to play, cuddle, and show him affection . Also, it's important for me to take him out of the house. Even if it's a short walk, cruising in the car to pick up errands or food. It's important for them to explore and experience different environments.

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 16. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I am also experienced with larger dogs but also smaller pup/puppies. In the summer of 2019, my older sister adopted the sweetest Pointer puppy. I helped train her and taught her basic commands and how to be able to walk off-leash. I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I am available 24/7 & 365. I am flexible with scheduling. I am only a phone call or text away. I will make sure your pup is fed and well taken care of in your home. I will walk said pup and pick up waste. I will play with pup and monitor if needed. I will play with them and give treats but not in excess, I will make sure pup is walked and fed like I mentioned earlier.

She did a great job and our dog was happy and wagging and in great shape when we got back. We would recommend her and will book again when we need too. Thanks Jessica!”

I will use her again 🐶🙌 I forgot his crate & his paw was injured before boarding, so she could’ve easily turned Vader away upon arrival & she went above the regular needs to accommodate him & care for him. Thank you Kristen.”

“Vishvesh and Julia provided exceptional care for my girls, Maple and Maisy! From the moment I dropped them off, I felt completely at ease. They kept me updated throughout their stay with pictures and messages, which made being away from my girls so much less stressful. When Maple and Maisy came home, they were calm, happy, and clearly very well loved. They came back ready to give us all of the love and joy they had received from Vishvesh and Julia. 🐾❤️ They even went the extra mile and brought my girls home, which meant so much to me. I am beyond grateful for the care, attention, and love they gave my girls. You can tell when someone genuinely loves animals, and Maple and Maisy definitely found that with Vishvesh and Julia. Five stars isn't even enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We highly recommend them and, without a doubt, they are our dog sitters for life! Thank you so much, Vishvesh and Julia, for taking such wonderful care of our girls. We are forever grateful! ❤️🐶🐶”

“Renae was super friendly and helpful. This was my first time using Rover for Sammy and I will continue to use this service. Renae gave me updates throughout the stay which was very reassuring. Sammy was able to play with Renae's pup which was very nice for him to have a friend instead of being alone at the pets hotel.”
