“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.

We would absolutely trust her to watch Chief again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”

About: I have lived with dogs and cats throughout my life and have more than 30 years of experience caring for them. I currently care for several pets in my own home, so I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, energy level, and individual needs. I carefully follow instructions for feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, litter box care, walks, playtime, and companionship. I take time to help each pet feel comfortable and keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. You can expect dependable care, clear communication, a detailed Rover Card, and several photos after every visit. I prefer to meet before the first recurring or extended booking so I can learn your pet’s routine, confirm access instructions, and understand exactly what they need. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I keep my Rover calendar current and only accept visits that fit my availability. This allows me to arrive within the agreed time window and give each pet attentive care without rushing. Before the first booking, I prefer to meet you and your pet, review the care routine, and confirm access instructions. During each visit, I follow your directions closely, check doors and gates, refresh food and water, and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave. I provide photos and a clear update after every visit.
“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!!”
“Leslie is a wonderful sitter for our pet Brinkley. We have used her several times and Brinkley is always happy and well taken care of each and every time. I drive over 30 miles to get her service and I wouldn’t leave our pet Brinkley with anyone else.”
“Magda and her family were amazing with my puppy. She sent daily updates with pictures, and I felt my gut baby was being treated as a family member. I cannot thank Magda enough! ❤️”
“Archer had a wonderful time at Karen’s. With his puppy behavior and not being around other dogs much I was a little worried. Karen was kind and reassuring. She kept me updated on his behavior through our trip. Archer settled in and made himself at home. She will be at the top of our list next time care is needed for Archer.”
“Danielle was absolutely amazing with my dog Winston! She does such a great job sending updates, pictures and videos throughout the stay. Danielle is a really good communicator always making sure I know what’s going on as well as making sure she’s giving my dog the best care. She truly cared for my dog like he was her own. Danielle even made a cute little photo card of Winston and his new friends to go home with! She was the absolute best and I will definitely be using her again!”
“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.”
“We enjoyed seeing our senior dog outside playing with other dogs in Eloise’s care. She has always provided the best care and makes sure his routine is followed. He’s a happy pup when he comes home.”
“Katie and her family were so amazing with our baby dog. She’s like a totally different pup! She doesn’t get upset in the crate, her bitting has dramatically dropped, and she’s much more claim throughout the day. I cannot thank her enough for taking ivy in on short notice and letting her be apart of her family. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Tami was wonderful, we had last min change of plans and she was able to accommodate us with short notice. Our pup loved the extra playtime with her fur babies and her great yard was bonus!”
“Alyssa took amazing care of my dog while I was away on vacation for a week. She provided daily updates and photos so that I was comfortable while being away. I will be using her in the future and would recommend her services to anyone!”
“Leslie did a great job with my Marley. Marley is a very anxious dog and he had a blast with Leslie. I will leave for my work trip in a couple weeks knowing that he is in good hands and being well cared for! 🤍”
“Enas was so kind! Brought my 2 boys, Ace and Bruno, over and they came back super tired! So I know their exercise needs were met! Her daughters are also very kind and seem very responsible as well! Enas also made sure to update me with pictures everyday! And let me know how everything went when I went to pick them up! Will definitely be rebooking for my next trip! Ace and Bruno were very well cared for!”
“Really came through for me when I needed a sitter last minute. Kept me really well updated with pics and videos of my dog while in his care. My dog and his dog have gotten along great, really kept him entertained!”

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! I am in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is very flexible right now. I am very open and honest so I’m very willing to for the schedule that’s best for you and your pet! I am not offering services in my home. As much as I would love to, I rent and cannot have a lot of animals staying with me. I’m sorry for the inconvenience!
About: I have a deep love for animals and have been caring for them since I was around 10. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, a green cheeked conure, and 12 chickens, so I’m familiar with many different animals. I’ve also interacted with and owned several breeds of dogs. I work full-time, but would love to help out with dog walking and at-home boarding occasionally. My dogs are both very friendly and would love to have someone to play with every once in a while. I unfortunately do not have a fence, but I have 10 acres for your animals to run on. We additionally do not have children in the house, so no worries for clumsy or bigger dogs.
“Cherie was absolutely amazing! I felt comfortable with her right away. She was so attentive and kept me updated with each visit, pictures included!! We had a terrible storm while we were gone and she checked on the house to make sure everything was okay. I can’t recommend her services enough. Thank you Cherie!!”
About: I have always shared my life with a cat; I cannot remember a time when I did not have one or two. Whether it's administering medication, feeding schedules, or simply providing comfort, I treat every cat as if they were my own. Making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well taken care of.
About: I grew up with puppies and rescues my whole life. I am familiar with most breeds. I love training dogs myself. I own a German Shepherd puppy myself. I understand how important proper care is to your special pup! I care for my puppy by feeding him 3 meals a day, several potty breaks, and proper crate training. I also train my puppy everyday, insure he gets exercise, and mental stimulation. Devoted to giving your pets the same care you would give them! Can offer walks during pet setting and anything the pet may need day to day!
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.

“Jennifer took excellent care of my Border Collie, Fiona. This was her second stay with Jennifer, and Fiona was thrilled when we got out of the truck to drop her off. I highly recommend Jennifer to care for anyone's dog.”
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: 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 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.

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.

About: I was raised on a farm and absolutely love animals (see my pictures)! As a nurse, I’m passionate about life and caring for others. My passion for raising and taking care of animals started young and grew immensely with age… hence why we've connected here! I’m gentle, punctual, and truly enjoy dog sitting. I’m skilled in bathing, walking, feeding, administering medications and caring for a wide variety of dogs and cats. I love all breeds and promise to welcome your pet in the same way he/she welcomes you home! Health appropriate bones, balls, and toys always make for a good time. Others would say I’m trustworthy, reliable, and dedicated. I truly believe that through service and by “paying it forward” the world is a better place! Because I have pets of my own, I understand the importance socialization and safety. Although I do work at a hospital, in my spare time I decided to incorporate something I’m passionate about into my everyday routine… dog walking/sitting! As an avid people and animal lover, you can count on me to safely care for your pet. Safety is my number one priority. I always ensure that collars and leashes fit appropriately, fences and gates are closed, crates are secure and that your pup/cat is out of the way of any hazards. I can easily identify signs of heatstroke and I always ensure that your pups paws don’t touch hot pavement in the summer months. Water is also a must after walks! I am transparent and believe that it is best to follow the owners requests so I will work with you to develop a routine that fits the needs of your family and your pet. I also ask that if you are leaving a spare key, it has “do not duplicate” engraved in it. Lastly, I will always ask permission.

I can provide a harness or leash or will use ones provided. I am very familiar with proper walking techniques.

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.

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!
About: I grew up with puppies and rescues my whole life. I am familiar with most breeds. I love training dogs myself. I own a German Shepherd puppy myself. I understand how important proper care is to your special pup! I care for my puppy by feeding him 3 meals a day, several potty breaks, and proper crate training. I also train my puppy everyday, insure he gets exercise, and mental stimulation. Devoted to giving your pets the same care you would give them! Can offer walks during pet setting and anything the pet may need day to day!
About: I have been taking care of the pets of friends and family for years, ranging from dog-walking to week-long pet sitting. Experience with a wide range of breeds and ages. I am a substitute teacher with a very flexible schedule, so I can take care of animals pretty much any time during days when I am not subbing. For sitting at other’s’ home, I try and keep the pet’s schedule as close to normal as possible! I prefer sitting in other’s’ homes just to keep things simple for the furry babies.
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: I have been in the Vet Industry for 5 years and I’m also a mom! I have 3 dogs of my own as well as a cat. I love all types of animals and always make sure that the care that they receive is the same as my fur babies. It fits well! I have a very flexible schedule. Any day any time! You’re animals priorities are just as important to me as my own! I’m very respectful of your home and I always make sure that your requests are met, in detail. Making the most of my visit is top priority.

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.

About: I have lived with dogs and cats throughout my life and have more than 30 years of experience caring for them. I currently care for several pets in my own home, so I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, energy level, and individual needs. I carefully follow instructions for feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, litter box care, walks, playtime, and companionship. I take time to help each pet feel comfortable and keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. You can expect dependable care, clear communication, a detailed Rover Card, and several photos after every visit. I prefer to meet before the first recurring or extended booking so I can learn your pet’s routine, confirm access instructions, and understand exactly what they need. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I keep my Rover calendar current and only accept visits that fit my availability. This allows me to arrive within the agreed time window and give each pet attentive care without rushing. Before the first booking, I prefer to meet you and your pet, review the care routine, and confirm access instructions. During each visit, I follow your directions closely, check doors and gates, refresh food and water, and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave. I provide photos and a clear update after every visit.
“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!!”
“Leslie is a wonderful sitter for our pet Brinkley. We have used her several times and Brinkley is always happy and well taken care of each and every time. I drive over 30 miles to get her service and I wouldn’t leave our pet Brinkley with anyone else.”
“Archer had a wonderful time at Karen’s. With his puppy behavior and not being around other dogs much I was a little worried. Karen was kind and reassuring. She kept me updated on his behavior through our trip. Archer settled in and made himself at home. She will be at the top of our list next time care is needed for Archer.”
“We enjoyed seeing our senior dog outside playing with other dogs in Eloise’s care. She has always provided the best care and makes sure his routine is followed. He’s a happy pup when he comes home.”
“Katie and her family were so amazing with our baby dog. She’s like a totally different pup! She doesn’t get upset in the crate, her bitting has dramatically dropped, and she’s much more claim throughout the day. I cannot thank her enough for taking ivy in on short notice and letting her be apart of her family. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Tami was wonderful, we had last min change of plans and she was able to accommodate us with short notice. Our pup loved the extra playtime with her fur babies and her great yard was bonus!”
“Alyssa took amazing care of my dog while I was away on vacation for a week. She provided daily updates and photos so that I was comfortable while being away. I will be using her in the future and would recommend her services to anyone!”
“Leslie did a great job with my Marley. Marley is a very anxious dog and he had a blast with Leslie. I will leave for my work trip in a couple weeks knowing that he is in good hands and being well cared for! 🤍”
“Enas was so kind! Brought my 2 boys, Ace and Bruno, over and they came back super tired! So I know their exercise needs were met! Her daughters are also very kind and seem very responsible as well! Enas also made sure to update me with pictures everyday! And let me know how everything went when I went to pick them up! Will definitely be rebooking for my next trip! Ace and Bruno were very well cared for!”
“Really came through for me when I needed a sitter last minute. Kept me really well updated with pics and videos of my dog while in his care. My dog and his dog have gotten along great, really kept him entertained!”
“Renae was great! Our dog is a 6 month old puppy. We got him weeks before we hired Renae and were very worried about how he was going to do and if he was going to be okay. Renae went above and beyond the call. She took him to parks and the beach and kept him busy the whole weekend. She sent daily updates (sometimes even twice daily) that included pictures of him enjoying himself. We are first time dog owners and she did a great job of relieving the stress of leaving a dog so young with a stranger. She even gave us a few pointers that she's picked up on in her time with dogs. She's a true professional and I'm very impressed with the quality of care we received.”
“I will definitely rebook Robyn in the future and felt very comfortable with my baby boy in her care! She sent updates and pictures and videos any time I asked and always responded to all my messages pretty instantly. Biggie gave her a giant hug and kiss goodbye when I picked him up. Thank you, Robyn! 🐾🖤”
About: Hi! My name is Kacey, and I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I’ve worked with energetic puppies, senior dogs, shy dogs, and dogs that need a little extra patience and attention. As a caregiver in my professional life, I’m dependable, responsible, and understand the importance of providing safe, compassionate care. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or just someone to stick to their routine while you’re away, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for and treated like family. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll always keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾 I don’t mind shedding! With 3 dogs here full time I’m already vacuuming at least once a day!! I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. My daily routine allows for regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. When I am away from home, a family member is always there, so pets are never left alone for long periods of time. In my home, pets are treated like family and are given plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. While my yard is not fenced, I have leads available and always prioritize safety during outdoor time. I can follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and potty breaks to help them feel comfortable and at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routine and preferences to keep things as consistent and stress-free as possible. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
“Had another wonderful experience with Ken and his family! The daily pictures and videos help you feel connected. The love and care that Roo received was outstanding! I wish we could give them 100 stars!”
“Patricia was very responsive and sent plenty of pictures. She took very good care of our gentle giant, 7yr old golden doodle, and I would definitely seek to use her services again. She is awesome to work with. I would highly recommend.”
