“Sarah and Todd were great caretakers of our two dogs and cat. They were very helpful with answering questions and reassuring me that everything would go well when I was worried that my dogs would misbehave. I thought it was a great experience for my puppy to be in different home, with children and other animals, and for both dogs to get a weekend of socialization and play with other dogs while we were away. It was a great experience and I will definitely book with them again.”

“Ashley was absolutely amazing with Ark! He is a young, high-energy puppy who can definitely be a handful, but she took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout his stay. It was clear that she was patient, attentive, and genuinely cared about his well-being. Ark came home happy, healthy, and tired—which is not an easy accomplishment! I also really appreciated how welcoming she was and how comfortable she made the whole experience. I would trust her with Ark again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you so much for everything, Ashley!”

“Grainne loved these sitters. She was well cared for. When I picked her up, they (tactfully) asked about her wheezing (I’d forgotten to tell them). I think that showed me their love of animals. I would definitely ask them to sit again. They also worked with me on pick up and drop off times. Nice people.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old! Currently I have a 85 lb lab/pit mix, and a 65 lb mut! I love to play with your dogs by playing with their toys with them, talking them on long walks, giving all the cuddles the want, loading them up with love and pets, and staying on their routine like they would if you were there! I’m a stay at home mom so my schedule is flexible! Willing to work with all routines and schedules. Also willing to bring them to the dog park! Your fur babies are in great hands with me! I almost always have open availability, just let me know what you need! Available as early as 8 am and as late as you need for the rest of the day. I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies of my own to keep them company. I also don’t mind animals being in my vehicle so I can take your fur baby to the dog park. I also love exercise so long walks are perfectly fine with me. Since my schedule is open I can keep up with your fur babies routine.

About: 🐾 Labor Day bookings are still available! 🐾 We’ve been hugging dogs since we were kids, and we’d love to hug yours! Penny, Ciel, and our family enjoy hosting furry friends - we take care of them and our pups play hard with them! Please note: *We cannot currently accept bookings for unneutered/intact male pups *We host a large, rambunctious group of pups throughout the week - small pups and those who prefer quiet, calm environments may not have an enjoyable experience here, and we will happily recommend sitters who may be a better fit for your family Hosting pups is our full-time job - your pups become part of our family while they’re here! We spend our days with our guests, playing and chatting with them, and can attend to everyone’s needs regularly throughout the day. Our 24/7 dedication to giving your pups the best experience while away from your home makes us a great choice for day care and socialization opportunities! We accept bookings between 7am and 7pm; we will consider bookings outside these hours on a case by case basis, potentially for an additional cost. Our availability for picking up and dropping off is limited but we aim to be as flexible as possible. Reach out with your needs and we’ll work out an arrangement that works best for all of us! Our entire yard is fenced in - there’s room to run full speed! We can adjust feeding schedules as needed to accommodate your dog’s diet. In good weather, pups are free to go inside and outside at their leisure. We don’t require pups to use crates while we’re gone or overnight, but if you prefer your pup be crated at any time, we’re happy to do that and have multiple available. Male pups will wear a belly band for the first 24 hours of their stay, at minimum - this soft, absorbent band fits around their belly and attaches with Velcro on their back. Belly bands reduce marking behavior, especially in unneutered males. You may bring your own, but we can supply them, free of charge. Using belly bands keeps our home calmer, cleaner, and fresher by eliminating marking behavior and reduces anxiety for future pups by giving them less reason to want to mark over the scent of previous pups. We have indoor and outdoor security cameras in many locations that can be helpful to review if any safety situations arise. The safety of all of our pups is very important to us! (They’re also great for catching fun footage!)

About: Hi I’m Tatum! I currently have 5 cats with my partner. I recently moved to Illinois, originally from California! My partner and I raised 3 of the cats since birth. 4th cat was rescued around 6 weeks old, and last cat was adopted from shelter at 5 months old. 3 of my cats are very social and 2 are very shy (1 having psychological difficulties). My energy is always going up and down all day long, catering to each of my cat’s attention needs. I have not experienced cat sitting on Rover yet, but I have cat sat outside of Rover! I’ve cared for cats of all types of behavioral traits and issues. I’ve also cared for cats with dog siblings. I have only experienced elderly cat once, but I have multiple kitten experiences. Can’t wait to care for your furrbabies! I’m very flexible and open to different needs. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

She was patient, kind, attentive and took the time to earn Zoe's trust—something that isn't easy. By the end of my trip, Zoe was following her around, letting Amanda pet and play with her. That meant so much to me. I came home to a happy, relaxed kitty, and I honestly wouldn't trust anyone else to watch Zoe. I'll definitely be booking Amanda again!”

About: I am a dog and cat lover and always happy to take the best care of your beloved family member. I originally came from Wag! a different dog walking/sitting app with over 800 completed services with a 5 star rating. I trained puppies, taken care of senior dogs, administered insulin, and love caring for dogs of all sizes. I have done dog walking/ pet sitting full time for a few years and currently looking for new clients as I moved to this area from Nashville TN. I prefer sitting in my clients home, it makes me comfortable knowing the pet is in their space and have their familiar surroundings. And following the routine the owners have given me to ensure their pets are happy, healthy, and safe while they are away!

About: As a dog owner, I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and attentive caring for your pet. My own dog can be anxious, so I have experience recognizing canine body language, respecting a dog’s boundaries, and helping nervous dogs feel safe without forcing interaction. As a massage therapist, I am patient, calm, observant, and comfortable following detailed care instructions. I treat every dog as an individual and will provide reliable walks, plenty of attention, and updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. I am flexible and open to different schedules. Shoot me a message to see what we can arrange for you and your family to accommodate you appropriately. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and the pet’s usual routine. With the owner’s permission, I am also happy to take dogs to parks or on other outings suited to their personality and activity level. I prioritize safety by keeping doors secure, using leashes as directed, and respecting each animal’s boundaries. I also keep the home tidy and provide regular photos and updates so owners know their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Whether it’s a morning walk, mid-day play session, or evening snuggles, your pet will always feel like a top priority in my home. 🐶🐱🐰🐹 I have a spacious yard perfect for supervised playtime and walks on a leash or long-line. 🐾 I’m dedicated to keeping your pet safe and secure at all times, so I have cameras around my property for extra peace of mind. If your fur baby needs crating, I’m happy to provide a comfortable and safe space for them. Rest assured, your pet will be spoiled with love, care, and attention. Plus a whole lot of fun and cuddles while they’re here! ♥️

“We were in town for work. Clyde spent the day with Samantha and her kids and dogs and he was so tired when I picked him up. It was exactly what we needed for Clyde. Samantha was very nice and communicated well with us. She took good care of our dog so we can enjoy some of our time while here for work. Samantha has a fenced in yard which made me feel safe with Clyde as he is a runner. Haha”

About: we have pet sit by our selves and together for friends in family since we were in junior high! I have taken care of dogs through pregnancy and during birth. I have potty trained puppies and had them until they passed of old age. We work 4-5 days a week and are looking to help pet owners who need someone to drop by during the week or stay on a weekend. We can come by frequently to let dogs out to potty or give kitties some extra attention. we will put food out at the correct times, make sure water bowls are full, give treats if allowed, and scoop litter boxes if needed! we would love instructions on what you and your pet like best!

About: I have 3 German shepherds, and I know how much care goes into making sure they are well-fed, trained, and taken care of. Your pets are family, and I would treat them as though they were my own. I also am a runner, and I run with my own dogs - up to 3 at a time (size and temperament dependent). If you have a dog who loves to run (or who needs to), I would love to have them join the crew. I also do graphic design work specifically for people and their animals. Happy to produce some pictures for you for an additional fee! I generally can do morning and PM visits for the pets! My schedule is NOT a 9-5, but I work around what I need to. Spending time with the pets is my favorite work I do! I treat every animal as if they were my own. That means lots of play time, attention, and overall just good fun. That being said, if you have house rules, then we will follow them accordingly.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old! Currently I have a 85 lb lab/pit mix, and a 65 lb mut! I love to play with your dogs by playing with their toys with them, talking them on long walks, giving all the cuddles the want, loading them up with love and pets, and staying on their routine like they would if you were there! I’m a stay at home mom so my schedule is flexible! Willing to work with all routines and schedules. Also willing to bring them to the dog park! Your fur babies are in great hands with me! I almost always have open availability, just let me know what you need! Available as early as 8 am and as late as you need for the rest of the day. I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies of my own to keep them company. I also don’t mind animals being in my vehicle so I can take your fur baby to the dog park. I also love exercise so long walks are perfectly fine with me. Since my schedule is open I can keep up with your fur babies routine.

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats and other pets since 1986. Love, trust, patience and high respect with animals are my #1 priority! I have volunteered with Animal Protective League as well as adopted cats from there. I am pretty much a person who takes home a stray animal who needs a home. My family has taken in 20 cats in the last 25 years that were strays on the street and kept them their whole lives. We have owned, to this date, 14 dogs dating as far back as when I was a toddler. Trust is everything and you can be rest assured that your pets will be lovingly cared for while you enjoy time away! Animals are my passion and I look forward to meeting yours! I am currently a stay-at-home mom. I own 11 cats. I am available for long-term and short-term periods. I am flexible with schedules and times and days depend on the client’s needs as well as pet needs. Currently, I am available for walking dogs, watching cats, as well as checking in and feeding animals at the client’s house during the client’s absence.

About: As a dog owner, I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and attentive caring for your pet. My own dog can be anxious, so I have experience recognizing canine body language, respecting a dog’s boundaries, and helping nervous dogs feel safe without forcing interaction. As a massage therapist, I am patient, calm, observant, and comfortable following detailed care instructions. I treat every dog as an individual and will provide reliable walks, plenty of attention, and updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. I am flexible and open to different schedules. Shoot me a message to see what we can arrange for you and your family to accommodate you appropriately. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and the pet’s usual routine. With the owner’s permission, I am also happy to take dogs to parks or on other outings suited to their personality and activity level. I prioritize safety by keeping doors secure, using leashes as directed, and respecting each animal’s boundaries. I also keep the home tidy and provide regular photos and updates so owners know their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I have had pets my whole life! I have experience with cats, dogs, horses, chickens, fish, frogs, turtles, and small furry critters such as hamsters and rabbits. I Have cared for new born puppies and kittens when the mother was not able and elderly pets that need a little extra love. Pets that are very energetic or relaxed. Pets that are having a hard time medically and need fluids or pain medications. I have cared for wounded animals and healthy ones. I'm available most days during work hours. When your fur baby needs love and care during the day while you are away. I can be there for pets, walks, snacks, medications, a simple check in and more. Every animal is it's own self and all need different care. When pet sitting while friends or family are at work or on trips I always make sure the pet has a good long session of play, affection, walk or forms of exercise, clean and full water and food dishes. Check for any accidents that need cleaned up or litter boxes that need tending. Then always be sure to double check the yard and home locks are secure before leaving.

About: I’ve worked at a dog daycare/ kennel for a few months but then left because I became a physical therapist assistant. I absolutely love dogs, but not ready for my own right now financially so I figured I could take care and spoil other peoples dogs while I wait until I’m ready!! I’ve had my childhood dog for 16 amazing years and I have dog sat for a few people already! I will watch my sisters dogs when needed which she has a Newfoundland (who is obsessed with me) and a chihuahua. I have dog sat for my boss before as well. Your dog will be in great hands with me and will get lots of playtime and snuggles!! I am usually free on the weekends only, since I do work an 8-5 job, so the week days do not work the best overall for boarding or dog daycare. but if you need someone to walk your dog after 5 or a drop in visit during the week on my lunch breaks and after 5 as well, I am able to do that! My apartment has a fenced in area for dogs to play and roam. My apartment complex is very dog friendly and has a good neighborhood to go on a walks with your dog. Dogs are allowed on my furniture and in the bed for bedtime snuggles!!

About: I have been a proud dog owner my entire life, which has given me a deep, natural understanding of canine behavior and needs. Over the past 5 years, I have channeled that lifelong passion into dedicated pet care, managing everything from structured daily routines to specialized behavioral and medical needs. Raising my own dogs has taught me how to handle multi-dog dynamics, maintain precise feeding schedules, and provide a safe, loving environment. I pride myself on treating every guest pup with the exact same protective care and attention I give my own, ensuring you have total peace of mind. I work a consistent part-time schedule on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays until 4:00 PM. This leaves my Tuesdays, Thursdays, and entire weekends completely wide open for dedicated, full-time pet care! On my workdays, I am fully available for evening check-ins, walks, and overnight boarding. Because my routine is highly predictable, I can easily adapt to your dog's specific feeding, walking, and potty schedules to ensure they never miss a beat. Safety and total peace of mind are my top priorities. In my home, visiting pups receive active supervision and slow, controlled introductions with my two friendly German Shepherd mixes. In your home, I strictly honor your established routines, keeping feeding times, exercise habits, and home security checks precise so your pet feels completely safe, secure, and comfortable.

Pet care will be my summer job! When I am not on vacation myself, I will be available. I am incredibly flexible. I can stay at your home or come and go as your pet needs! I have a fenced in yard and four dogs of my own. I am no stranger to cleaning up messes or using a lint roller before I leave the house.

About: I have grown up around all kinds of animals and had very many of my own, gaining much experience with pet care. In the last few years I have helped my mom with boarding and walking back home in particular. I also helped raise and train a puppy for 2 years so I am familiar with training and safety procedures for dogs of all ages. I also love cats—currently have one of my own—and can navigate other pets in the home if required! I am currently work 3-11:30p so I am available during the mornings and early afternoons to do any care tasks during the week and weekend! I like to be shown the home/property by the pet owner prior to first individual experience with the pet. This enables pet parents to ask any questions and provide any important information about the home or the pet. This will also reduce accidents on the property if I can be made aware of possible exits to watch for pets. These all help to familiarize the animals with me so we all feel safe and can work effectively. I also try to take the pets lead when I’m in their space, more so than when sharing a walk, for everyone’s peace of mind.
