“Amber was a great sitter for our fur baby Mona. Great communication and Amber sent lots of pictures where Mona was just having the time of her life. Mona was well taken care of and gave us peace of mind. We will definitely be booking with Amber again for future sitter needs.”
“Carmen took such good care of our dogs and we felt comfortable knowing they were in the care of a very sweet and loving person. She was so excited to see them when we dropped them off which made us feel good. She sent pictures of our dogs relaxing and getting along with her dog. She also was very diligent about giving Kikka her medicine and eye drops which is so important and very much appreciated. Thank you Carmen! We will reach out again with future needs!”
“I loved Gloria, and I know that Finley did as well. He was well loved by her entire family and I think he came back to me cleaner than when I dropped him off! Would use again and would recommend to others as well!”
“It felt like family was watching our dog! Radha and Bart were super welcoming, thorough, and communicative the whole time we were gone. They made sure to ask questions regarding Abbey’s “quirks” to ensure she felt right at home. I can’t recommend them enough if you want your pup in trustworthy hands while you’re gone!”
“She kept in contact with me the entire time as well as sent photos. She was very responsive (and quick with them), her home was clean and inviting, and her times were super flexible. She also gave us a sweet gift when our stay was over, she really cares about the babies she’s watching. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Ivette was amazing ! She kept moose over Christmas and was very communicative with us. Moose is still in his puppy stage and Ivette was so patient Moose even received a Christmas morning present he could open. Overall I would highly recommend Ivette!”

“This was our first time traveling since we got Teddy. He has separation anxiety, and we were nervous to leave him with a sitter. We felt like everything would be ok after meeting Keri, and she did a great job! She was very friendly and responsive, followed all of our instructions and sent photos to let us know how he was doing. He was happy and calm when we picked him up. I definitely recommended her services, and I plan to ask her to watch Teddy again.”
“Lindsey was terrific! She gave frequent updates with pictures. She also has a corgi named Zoe that is extremely cute! We are glad Biscuit has a corgi friend now. Lindsey is also very thoughtful and fed Biscuit throughout his stay, also letting him use Zoe’s crate. I would definitely book again and recommend Lindsey to anyone else looking for boarding services!”
“Zora took amazing care of our dog Kona. She provided lots of pictures, videos and updates and we knew he was in good hands. He got along well with her dog, Zara, too. Would definitely rebook!”

“Stacy was very prompt in communicating and sent pictures when requested. My dog, Charli, was jumping on Stacy when we came to pick her up and transitioned back home very easily.”
“Timothy was great! We were updated on all the walks Milo went on. No complaints! He even accommodated our super early drop off time. We will definitely have Timothy watch Milo again!”

“We couldn’t ask for a better cat sitte! She genuinely cares for our kittens as if they were her own, and gives us complete peace of mind every time we are away. In fact, we’ve joked that if she isn’t available, we wont travel! We trust her completely and couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
About: I enjoy caring for cats and getting to know their unique personalities. I understand that many cats prefer a calm environment and time to warm up to new people, so I always approach them with patience and respect for their space. During visits I make sure litter boxes are clean, food and water are fresh, and cats receive attention based on what they’re comfortable with—whether that’s playtime, brushing, or simply quiet companionship. I pay close attention to each cat’s behavior and routine so they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know your cat is doing well. My goal is to provide reliable, gentle care so your cat can stay relaxed in their familiar environment.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m incredibly impressed with Abby as a sitter! From the very first visit, she made sure my dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. The updates were top-notch every time, with the cutest photos and thoughtful notes that gave me total peace of mind. My dog absolutely lights up when Abby arrives, which says everything. She clearly cares so much and is amazing with pets of all personalities. Communication is quick and smooth, scheduling is easy, and she is always reliable and professional. If you’re looking for someone kind, trustworthy, and truly dedicated to caring for your fur babies, Abby is the perfect choice. Your pet will be in the best hands! 🐾❤️”
About: As a lifelong cat owner and former veterinary technician, I have experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities, from playful kittens to senior cats with special needs. I am comfortable caring for both indoor and outdoor cats and can provide feeding, medication administration, litter box maintenance, enrichment, and attentive monitoring to ensure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels. My background includes daily feeding routines, administering basic medications, leash walks, playtime, and providing lots of affection and attention. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and comfort levels. I work a remote full time job. If I’m needed more frequently, all I’d ask is to be allowed to work from your location. Otherwise, I’m on a 9-5 work schedule and can be available for one hour, typically between 11am and 1pm, and every evening. Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine. I am available after 3:30 pm daily, which allows me to reliably focus on feeding times, walks, okay sessions, and quality one-on-one care in the afternoons and evenings.
“Kat is the best! My cats loved her--even my shy girl who normally hides when we have visitors followed her around, asking for pets! She asked all the right questions and stayed in touch throughout the time we were gone with texts, plus photos and video of our babies. 10/10”

“Jerica was awesome and let my pup be, which I appreciate! She’s not a super social dog and Jerica understood that and gave her the space she needed! She also gave me a brief summary of the day, which was great so I knew what to expect being back home with my pup. She also provided updates during the day!”
“Baguette has only been with Linda a couple of days but I can already tell how much she loves it there. I’ve never seen her come home so happy and relaxed!

It means the world to know my lil baby is safe, cared for, and having fun while I’m at work. We’re so lucky to have found her! 💕🐾”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced dog owner and caregiver with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. I’ve worked with dogs ranging from small (3 lbs) to medium/large (up to 60 lbs), including puppies as young as 4 months and senior dogs requiring medication and extra care. I work fully remote, which means your dog will have consistent supervision and won’t be left alone for long periods. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, attention, and a steady routine throughout the day. I live in a clean, pet-friendly home with a large fenced yard where your dog can safely play and relax. I’m very attentive to routines, comfort, and safety, and I treat every pet like my own. I also have experience preparing homemade dog treats, so I’m always mindful of what pets consume and their overall well-being. I have my own dog, Bo, who is almost 15 and still healthy, active, and loves to run and jump around — which I truly believe comes from consistent care, attention, and a loving environment. Your pet will be in a calm, loving, and structured environment while you’re away — with plenty of attention, care, and affection. I am a full time professional and working remotely. I walk my 14.5 yr old, 12lb furbaby 3-4 times daily and enjoy the spending the outdoors time with my Bo and make him new friends. I treat every pet like my own and focus on creating a safe, stress-free environment. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and has a large fenced yard for safe outdoor play. Pets are always supervised outside and never left unattended. Because I work from home, your pet will have plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, and any medications or special care. If I’m in your home, I keep your pet’s routine consistent and your space respected. I also provide updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: Hi! I love meeting new animals and getting to know their unique personalities. Every pet is different, and I enjoy learning what makes each one feel comfortable, happy, and safe.

That experience has made me even more passionate about caring for animals and helping them feel supported in new environments.

About: I have been working part time with Rover for several years. I recently had to put my 13-year-old lab down, so I do not currently have any pets. Animals are the brightest part of our world and nothing makes me happier than spending time with doggies and kitties. I currently volunteer for PALS, a program under Meals on Wheels, that provides food for animals in senior homes. I loved to walk my dog and would be more than happy to provide dog walking services to others on the weekends. I work weekdays, but am available after 5 pm and will work Saturdays, and Sundays. I cannot wait to get started and meet all the sweet babies! I currently work weekdays, but can devote time after work and weekends. I can utilize lunch breaks to check on pets and nights and weekends for more one on one time. I own a home with a fenced in yard for my dog. I will do anything and everything to ensure your animal’s safety and happiness.
About: I have worked as a vet-tech and am fully confident in my pet care skills. I’ve pet sit for many years now and animals have taught me more about life than I could imagine! I absolutely love animals and keeping them happy. I stay healthy and would be able to keep up with any style pet. I love challenges and am up to anything thrown my way! As I have worked as a veterinarian technician, I am certified to administer medications of any kind, give injections, and of course properly groom from nail trimming to medicated baths! If the dog has any kind of special needs or wounds I am properly prepared to take care of the animal. I also have experience raising animals myself and love the process of working with a puppy to become a well-behaved adult dog! I am a stay at home dog mom so my days are fully dedicated to my pets and others, I have a completely open schedule for pet care! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company! I can easily crate your pet if needed and provide them with plenty potty breaks.
About: I've cared for animals from birth to senior care. I hope you'll trust me to care for your pet with the same love and affection that I do my own. I am home and live alone. There are no children here and I am available for constant love, care and affection. I hope you'll trust me to care for your baby as though they're mine, with all consideration that you would hope for. I have a fenced yard on 2.5 acres and I love to work outdoors, gardening, planting saplings, etc. Your pet would be constantly monitored and played with during all hours.
About: I love dogs they bring me happiness so I figured this is a great place to work. I just moved to Elgin and what better way to get to know the place than getting out and about! I actually worked with dogs previously for Taurus Academy before the pandemic started so I have quite a bit of experience handling dogs and picking up on their signals and emotions already. I have two little angels of my own, they are both well behaved and love other animals. There is truly something wonderful to be said about the connection and bond that is formed between an owner and their animals. I grew up on a farm, around goats, donkeys, chickens, pigs and horses. I love animals of all kinds and can’t wait to meet your sweet animals as well.
About: Ive got extensive dog care experience, starting at age 15 on my family farm in California with various dogs! I am comfortable with all sizes!

I currently work 9 to 5 Monday-Fridays and am off on the weekends and available all day! If you need more time just let me know!

About: I've helped take care of animals for family/friends for over 5 years. I have walked, fed, & bathed dogs before. I've taken care of small & medium dogs. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends for regular walks and check-in to feed, play with, and take great care of your doggos & kitties. I make sure my pets always have enough water and food and follow their feeding schedule. I also take them for a long walk to keep them happy. I watch for any changes and how they act and sure they feel safe and comfortable.
About: Hello! My name is Jordan and I've been passionate towards all animals my entire life and have experience with a variety of different species. I've worked as an animal care intern at a wildlife rehab and as a kennel technician where my primary duties were to work closely with veterinary staff to provide care for animals of all shapes and sizes. This experience plus a life long history with animals has allowed me to recognize each pet's individual personalities so that I may tailor my care to fit their exact needs. My goal is to treat your pets with respect and warmth in order to ensure their happiness while you’re away. I'm sensitive, flexible and empathetic to the individual needs of your pet so that their time apart from you is happy and stress free. I'm communicative and open so that you can rest assured knowing how much fun your pet is having under my care. As a pet parent of many different species myself, I understand the dedication and love you have for your pets and I understand the desire for an accountable, kind caregiver. I am also able to accommodate any special requests, such as if you would prefer your dog be crated during certain times, if your pet needs medications administered during the day and much more. Additionally, I have experience with invertebrates, reptiles, birds, small mammals, dogs and cats. I live on 20 acres of mowed and maintained land with a secure fence that will give your babies plenty of space to run around and explore. In addition, I provide a cozy, peaceful home environment where your pet is welcome to explore, settle in, and relax at their own pace. With plenty of comfortable spaces to lounge, play, and feel secure, I strive to create an stress-free atmosphere that helps every pet feel right at home during their stay. If I’m going to your home, I will be respectful and courteous to any rules and maintain the standard of care you treat your animals with. Being a stay-at-home mom gives me the flexibility to care for pets in a way that truly fits their individual needs. Because I’m home throughout the day, I can adjust feeding times, walks, play, and quiet moments based on each pet’s personality, age, and energy level. This flexibility means my care isn’t one-size-fits-all. If your pet needs more frequent bathroom breaks, extra exercise, or just a little reassurance and companionship, I’m able to respond right away instead of sticking to a strict timetable and I can easily monitor changes in behavior or health. My daily routine may be full, but it’s adaptable—and that makes all the difference in giving pets the individualized attention they deserve. In my home, pets are welcomed into a calm, supervised environment where they can relax and follow a consistent routine. When caring for your pets at your home, I focus on maintaining their familiar routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs—so they feel comfortable and secure. My hands-on experience working with many types of animals—different species, breeds, ages and temperaments—gives me the confidence to handle everything. Whether you need me to care for your scaly, feathered, or furry friends, my goal is always the same: to make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their family is away.
About: I've had a lot of pets in my life. I currently have 6 dogs and 3 cats. I have experience with reactive dogs and dog selective dogs. I deal mostly with large and extra large dogs but have owned medium and small dogs. I've worked for a boarding kennel before so I have some professional experience with that. I am also a current foster to shelter dogs so I see different breeds and personalities all the time. I work a full time job. I work nights so I'm usually available during the day early mornings and evenings on the days I work. I can always find a way to make it work. I have dogs that do not get along with other dogs or people. I am very used to a crate and rotate schedule and I'm very conscious of my dogs mood and behavior. I also have foster dogs, so I have new dogs in and out and ensuring safety is my top priority.
“Brooke is amazing! She is so good with my pups. They are young and maybe a little wild, but Brooke is so patient with them. I have absolutely no worries when they are with her. I think they may enjoy walking with her even more than me! :) Brooke has been flexible and is very dependable. So glad we found her!”
