“Elizabeth was amazing with our dog, Chief! She took great care of him while we were away and kept us updated so we knew he was doing well. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She’s very kind, responsive, and clearly loves dogs. We would absolutely trust her to watch Chief again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Pat is amazing! We are so grateful to have had her watch over our pup while we were on vacation for a week! The kids and I loved getting daily updates and photos of Murphy. We will definitely use her again to care for Murphy. Thank you so much, Pat!”
“Alex did a very good job of giving me updates during my dog's stay. And the videos and pictures she sent showed my dog was having a good time. And my dog must have, she's been doing nothing but sleeping since we got home. Thanks Alex!”
“Leslie was amazing!!! It was obvious right away that my dogs loved her. She was so good with Molly and Bear, whether it was playtime or snuggle time. And she was absolutely wonderful about keeping us updated regularly! It’s hard to leave my pups, but her updates and pictures made it a lot easier. Leslie really cares for your pups. She is truly wonderful.”
“Sylvie cared for my dog, Milo, for 5 nights. She kept me updated throughout this time with adorable pictures and videos. All my concerns vanished when I could see Milo happily playing and eating his food. I was especially concerned that Milo wouldn’t eat while away from me but that didn’t turn out to be a problem with Sylvie!! I can’t say how much I appreciated Sylvie and will not hesitate to leave Milo in her care in the future.”
“Michelle and Christy are phenomenal!! They watched my energetic golden retriever for 11 days over the holidays. Having met them a few weeks prior to the extended Rover visit, it was clear that they are really great people, whose positive qualities directly translated into the great amount of care they provided for Mr. Chips during his stay. The amount of updates and open communication they were willing to provide throughout the stay also made a world of difference. Seeing chips having tons of fun totally removed any sense of the worry I would have had leaving him for the 11 days. To top it off, they have a huge fenced in back yard, perfect for doggies to run and play in - and 2 cute dogs for Mr. Chips to play with. 10 out of 10.”
“Pat is awesome! She sent me daily pictures and updates of Mason, our 75lb Shepherd mix, and was always very responsive. She has a big fenced yard that I know Mason really enjoyed. She clearly loves dogs. We will definitely use Pat’s services again in the future!”
“Very happy! Jennifer and her family took excellent care of our 3 dogs for 6 days! They appeared happy and healthy when we picked them up and we're worn out from all their playtime. Our girls made some new friends while there which was also great for their socializing! We felt safe and comfortable leaving them in her care and would definitely do it again. A very great experience all around! Thank you so much, Jennifer!!”
“Our dog Rocky had a great time with Kristine and her adorable dog Blue. Kristine gave us updates about how Rocky is doing with pictures and video. Definitely recommend her and will use her service again. We appreciate her taking care of Rocky.”
“My dog sitter Fanny was wonderful! She was very communicative throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind, and I could tell my puppy was in great hands. I would absolutely use her again”
“Lisa is great! I had a last minute booking and she was very flexible. Lisa sent pictures and updates while I was gone and put my mind at ease. My dog seems very happy and not stressed at all. Thank you Lisa!”
“Daniella was incredibly helpful, accommodating, and truly went above and beyond in caring for our puppy. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable and attentive hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have three large dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience helping raise and train puppies, including one who recently turned one year old, and I’m comfortable with everything from feeding schedules and administering medications to walks, playtime, treats, and cleaning up after pets. As a student-athlete home for the summer, I’d love to spend my extra time caring for animals and giving them the attention they deserve. My love for pets started at a young age—I even ran a homemade dog treat business to help earn money for my first two puppies! Since then, I’ve always enjoyed spending time with animals and treating them like family. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility throughout the day to provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and companionship. As a student-athlete, I’m used to managing a busy schedule and staying organized, so I always make sure pets receive reliable and consistent care. Between work shifts and practices, I have plenty of availability to give pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I believe pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on providing care in my clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and lots of love and attention. My goal is to keep pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I do not offer boarding in my home, but I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, walks, and in-home care tailored to your pet’s needs.
About: Growing up I cared for my two dogs, an Australian cattle dog mix and a German shepherd. We loved them both to the ripe old ages of 16 and 12 respectively. In high school I spent my free time at the local animal shelter volunteering to walk and play with the various dog breeds. My entire life I have loved caring for all types of animals, so this is an amazing opportunity for me to meet even more. I am currently a college student attending school 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). All other days of the week I am free to be booked! My yard is big, but unfenced so I will have to have your dog on a leash for our walks and playtime. I do own a crate and can use it if necessary, but all the specific care instructions can be discussed individually.
“Sarah did a great job with our two cats - Bonnie & Clyde while we were away on vacation. We received daily updates from her about our babies and her communication with me while we were gone was excellent!! We will definitely be using Sarah again in the future. Thank you 😊”

About: I was always the go to person for pet sitting in my family. Growing up, we always had at least one dog in the house. And I was fortunate enough to have had one for 16 years. Her name was Bear. She was the best family dog anyone could ask for and I miss her very much. She is the reason I love taking care of animals so much. Recently, I have become very fond of cats and live with 2 of them. They have stolen my heart and take care of them every day. I also have two reptiles which are my whole world. No matter what animal, I would love to take care of them. I’m the sitter for you!

“Bridget did an awesome job with Ardal! She took great care of him and sent me a few updates, which I appreciated. I have a very tired, very happy pup and will definitely be requesting future daycare appointments!”
About: I love all the furry babies, my own fur babies are treated like my children. I work from home, so your baby would have my attention through the entire day. We would have time to play, walk, snuggle, and bond. I have a large fenced in back yard. Your baby would feel at home and comfortable in my home, they would have full access to roam and wander. They also would be allowed on the couches / beds for snuggles and belly rubs. I work from home, giving me the flexibility to ensure your pup has plenty of time and attention. I have an 11 year old son who is just as much as an animal lover. I have a large fenced in back yard. My foxy girl loves to get her zoomies out back there, and loves playing fetch. My son will love on, play, and engage with your pup also.
“Denise was honestly incredible! It was pretty short notice and some people wouldn’t watch Caesar because he’s a pitbull, she rearranged her schedule to watch him. She gave me multiple updates and pictures throughout. When I came to pick him up, she gave me a painting he made (with the help of peanut butter and plastic wrap I assume)! 1000% recommend”
About: My husband and I have a lot of experience caring for cats, dogs, and birds. I've been house sitting /animal sitting for around 7 years on the side. I absolutely love animals, and I've had experience caring for a large variety of them. I've watched 4 large dogs at a time, all of whom needed special medication and attention. I care for every animal like they're my own, and just absolutely love being around dogs. I have a spacious home and I am very attentive. I live in a safe neighborhood, and I am by my phone 24/7 so can be in contact with you at any time. I work remotely and sometimes have to go in to the office. My husband is almost always home, and we always make sure someone is at home to be with the animals. Care is always personalized to the dogs needs. We go for regular walks, follow any dietary restrictions, and always check with the pet-parent if there's anything else needed.

We always stay outside with them. Inside the house is pet proofed with couch protection covers and scratching posts for cats. All kitty litter is gated off from dog access.

About: I have had dogs all my life & have taken care of friends & family’s pets. I tend to adopt “problem” dogs that other people can’t handle. I love a challenge & gaining the trust of the dog. I used to frequent the Dominican Republic to feed & give flea baths to the neglected street dogs out there. I’m currently working from home & was a bartender for the last 20 yrs but now looking for a new career with animals because they are my true passion. I just moved to the Gardner, Illinois for a bigger yard & a 6ft privacy fence to expand my dog sitting business. I also have a small pool for the dogs. I have lots of gates up throughout the house & different rooms I can put dogs in if any need to separated. I also have large crates I can use.
About: I have a lot of experience with dogs as both an owner and as a foster home/parent. I recently had a foster dog that was used as a breeding Mom dog for 4 years and was terrified when we got her. I have pet sat at my home for family, friends, and neighbor's dogs. I would go multiple times a week to my neighbor's house to take her dogs out and play with them while Mom & Dad were working late. I have also volunteered with humane societies over the years, even flew down to FL to volunteer with a rescue after a hurricane. I have experience transporting foster dogs to their new homes with a rescue group out of Missouri where we adopted our foster fail from. I am an Independent Photographer so I only work when I have sessions or editing to do, leaving me with lots of time to dedicate to the pups 😀 The dogs wellbeing is my top concern always! If I am coming to walk or play with your dog while you're at work I will make sure your family member is happy and content before leaving.

About: Asst in training service dogs, have had dogs for the past 25 years. I have also had cats but do not have one currently. I watch my neighbors' animals, to include a bunny and other small animals as well. I currently work from home and am able to work from anywhere with my laptop if I am needed to stay at your home. This also gives me the availability to leave for breaks to take your animal out for small walks or potty breaks during the day. I have always had 3 dogs at a time, but I just lost my last fur baby this month and am looking to care for other animals until I am ready to get a new baby. I care for my animals as family, not pets, they sleep with me and my husband and go with us when we are able to take them with me. I provide more of a motherly service and will care for your fur baby as if they were my own. To include playing and snuggling.
About: I've been boarding and fostering a variety of dogs since I was 18. During my fostering I've handled reclimating dogs with many different behavioral issues. I have shadowed master trainers and now I am involved in the dog show/sporting world. Rest assured if your dog has special needs--I have experience in many different areas. If your dog needs to learn training, and you want to treat it as a training session, this could be arranged. (Training will cost more) My two girls are both titled in conformation, dog trick, Canine good citizen and we are working on agility titles. I only do positive FUN training. I currently am a full time student and my classes are all online. This gives me the ultimate flexibility as far as scheduling goes. My girls get a walk at 530 am before I head to the gym. Then the couch napping commences until I return at 7 am. Once I'm back I am home all day. We go in and out at least once every few hours. I have a 1/3 acre fenced in yard. I do have dog agility equipment I set up for play time, and as many balls as they want to chase. The yard is sprayed for ticks and was fully treated upon buying the house for parasites. (I'm just a worry wort when it comes to my dogs health and safety) Inside my house is all dog/puppy friendly. I have gates to prevent going up and down stairs (this is bad for the hips of both growing pups and the elderly). I only use a steamer for floor cleaning, meaning it is 100% chemical free and sanitizes 99% (this is the packaging information! Lol) of germs. I have a doggy toy box full of goodies, to include puzzle toys. There are toddler beds that I've converted to dog beds throughout the house for the cushy naps. I donot have kennels, but I have a playpen I leave open for those that prefer the safety of a kennel. I do have two dogs myself. Both are standard poodle females. One is 5 and one is 4. They are both very well trained and love to have playmates of any age, size or gender. My girls do eat a full raw diet, no need to worry about them trying to steal food from anyone else and they are always fed in a seperate area of the house. The girls are on a monthly heartworm that includes many other parasite preventatives. They are groomed weekly and kept up to date on all vaccines. I expect any dog I board to be up to date on vaccines. There is a local vet within 15 minutes and emergency vet within 45 minutes. **I will not watch unfixed males. This is due to my females not being fixed. I can watch females in heat and young puppies (young puppies cost a bit more due to the fact I will be training if they aren't potty trained).** **If your dog is a digger DO let me know in advance so I can set up the sand box!** I'm a stay at home college student. Animals are a life long love for me. Evenings are for cuddles and homework, while daytime is play time! I care for pets according to the owners specifications. Every pet has different needs to be met--from the high energy dogs to the elderly. I do whatever makes the pet happy and provides was of mind for the owner. I am happy to provide photos at any point during a visit !

I will also take them for a walk. At the clients home it will be the same and if I can take their animal to the dog park I will do so and let them play I know they also love playing with other animals and not always just with humans

I also have every holiday break and all of summer vacation off. I am only open to sitting at other people's home's; i do not have the space, facilities, or amiable enough cat to take in new animals as it stands! As for clients homes, I am capable of taking care of up to 5-7 animals at one time from experience. Care can look like oral medicine administration needs, basic grooming schedules, potty training clean-up, as many walks as needed, and even weighing out food/having specific foods per animal if necessary!
About: Hello! I have had dogs since I was 12 years old, I currently own a diverse set of dogs. 3 heelers and 1 GSD, I have extensive training in dog handling and own a Mobile pet nail trimming buisness! I work Full Time from home- I am able to watch dogs from my home or watch them from yours. I am able to drop in when needed. I take pride in my attentiveness, dedication and love for animals. My knowledge is extensive in training, handling, pet care and much more. I can administer all Medications, I am pet CPR certified and I’ve owned a various breed of dogs over my life time.
About: I have been around and raised animals of all kinds from the start of my life. I love animals! I currently have 4 dogs, a 20lb doxie mix, a pit mix, mountain curr, and great pyrenees. I am comfortable with all breeds and size of dogs. I also have a spoiled inside cat, and an 11 year old barn cat that is spoiled for being outside, but he hates being inside, so he stays where he is happy. Growing up my family raised Rottweilers that the parents were police dog trained, so I learned at a young age how to train dogs. I have taken care of all kinds of animals from lizards to birds to horses and cows and of course dogs and cats and about everything in between. I have a pretty flexible schedule. Mostly during the week, but if you become a regular, I could fit in weekens too if needed. Just ask me. As of now, I am only going to do dog walking and drop in for dog or cat. My yard isn't fenced so I won't have day care until I get things set up better. I will walk your dog with whatever collar or harness you have for them and I can bring my own leashes or use yours. I'll make sure to not have them on concrete or asphalt too much if it is hot so their paws don't get hurt.
About: Growing up I took care of our dogs daily. Bathing feeding and playtime were guaranteed. I have taken care of family and friends dogs whenever they need, whether it’s a drop in or multiple days in a row. Care included feeding walking playing -plenty of one on one time. I currently work part time as a personal trainer. My schedule allows flexibility to care for your pets. Mon and Wednesday afternoons plus Tues, Thursdays & Fridays have flexibility throughout the day. I will abide by rules you set forth in your home. Your dog’s safety and well being are my priority. Walking & playing ensure your pup is well taken care of.
About: Hello! My name is Megan. I have both professional and personal experience caring for animals. I have previous work experience at a dog grooming salon where we also occasionally groomed cats. I can do basic grooming such as brushing, baths, ear cleaning, and nail trims. I do offer nail trimming and filing, as well as 15-30 minute brush outs. Brush outs are great for in-between grooming appointments to ensure your pup doesn’t get any uncomfortable matting! For these services I try and take a “fear-free” approach with lots of snacks, treats, and favorite toys for distraction and motivation. I don’t use any restraints, other than body positioning if needed, and aim to make your dog as comfortable as possible. Working with animals is my true passion and I would love to care for your fur babies! I had my first family dogs when I was 12 years old. Two labradors named Buddy and Shadow. I currently own one 3 year old black lab mix, Dexter. I have also owned cats for nearly my whole life! I currently have a 1.5 year old kitty named Helena. I am currently a stay-at-home mom to two boys. My schedule is currently pretty flexible. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings I’m typically unavailable until 10:30am, but with some notice I can usually work to accommodate your schedule. I am currently available for nail trims and brush-outs, walks, drop-ins, or sitting at your home. Animals have always held a special place in my heart and I will love your fur baby as if they were my own! For more information about my services or to discuss your pet's needs, please don't hesitate to message me. I look forward to hearing from you!

“Pat is amazing! We are so grateful to have had her watch over our pup while we were on vacation for a week! The kids and I loved getting daily updates and photos of Murphy. We will definitely use her again to care for Murphy. Thank you so much, Pat!”
“Alex did a very good job of giving me updates during my dog's stay. And the videos and pictures she sent showed my dog was having a good time. And my dog must have, she's been doing nothing but sleeping since we got home. Thanks Alex!”
“Leslie was amazing!!! It was obvious right away that my dogs loved her. She was so good with Molly and Bear, whether it was playtime or snuggle time. And she was absolutely wonderful about keeping us updated regularly! It’s hard to leave my pups, but her updates and pictures made it a lot easier. Leslie really cares for your pups. She is truly wonderful.”
“Michelle and Christy are phenomenal!! They watched my energetic golden retriever for 11 days over the holidays. Having met them a few weeks prior to the extended Rover visit, it was clear that they are really great people, whose positive qualities directly translated into the great amount of care they provided for Mr. Chips during his stay. The amount of updates and open communication they were willing to provide throughout the stay also made a world of difference. Seeing chips having tons of fun totally removed any sense of the worry I would have had leaving him for the 11 days. To top it off, they have a huge fenced in back yard, perfect for doggies to run and play in - and 2 cute dogs for Mr. Chips to play with. 10 out of 10.”
“Pat is awesome! She sent me daily pictures and updates of Mason, our 75lb Shepherd mix, and was always very responsive. She has a big fenced yard that I know Mason really enjoyed. She clearly loves dogs. We will definitely use Pat’s services again in the future!”
“Very happy! Jennifer and her family took excellent care of our 3 dogs for 6 days! They appeared happy and healthy when we picked them up and we're worn out from all their playtime. Our girls made some new friends while there which was also great for their socializing! We felt safe and comfortable leaving them in her care and would definitely do it again. A very great experience all around! Thank you so much, Jennifer!!”
“La Toya was great with our pup! She sent daily videos and pictures. She was prompt in responding to our daily messages. We really appreciate her care for our girl.”
“Kasey was an exceptional dog sitter! She took great care of our goldendoodle, ensuring she was happy and well-exercised. Her dogs were sweet and friendly to my dog too. Kasey communicated regularly, sending updates and photos that put our minds at ease. Her genuine love for dogs was evident, and we returned home to a relaxed and content dog. Highly recommend her services!”
“The nicest person I’ve ever met, She treated my problem child ( chocolate lab Henry ) like a pro and one of her own family. She can handle anything. And deserves 10 stars.”
“We love Tami and her family! We have ZERO worries when Eddie “vacays” at her home. He always has the best time, Tami communicates regularly and Eddie is well exercised and cared for the whole time. Flexible…kind…professional. A top notch choice as far as we are concerned.”
