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.

About: Hi, My name is Mia. I have about ten years of experience working with animals from animal shelters to vet clinics. I have experience fostering over fifty pets, including bottle babies and pets with special needs. I currently work as a legal assistant. M-F 10:00-5:00. PLEASE ENSURE YOU BOOK WITH ENOUGH TIME FOR A MEET & GREET TO BE SCHEDULED PRIOR TO MY FIRST VISIT. This is for my safety and the safety of your pets. I am always open to negotiation, but please keep in mind this helps pay my bills. I do have my own dog, but if your dog needs to stay overnight in my home, they will be kept separate. I am very responsible and would love to meet you and your fur babies. If you have any questions, please ask me :) Can’t wait to meet you. I work 10-5, but I work from home. Visits before and after are easy when in Elgin or nearby. If I pet sit at home, I will keep separate from my pet. It depends on what is needed, per the pets needs. I am happy to stop by, clean up, let them out and feed during visits.

Lovely people who sincerely look after our dog, and send lots of pictures and updates, which we appreciate so much. Highly recommended!!”
About: I have been a dog mama for over 15 years to 2 of the best girls. Both have passed now and while we would love to add another fur baby to our family, we are taking a break while raising our two tiny humans! Our most recent fur baby just passed 2 months ago, and we are looking to love on your sweet babies to bring some of that joy back into our home! We are very familiar with special skin care, medication, special diet needs, and separation anxiety! I'm a stay at home mom, so they will have lots of play and attention, walks around the neighborhood, especially to the local duck pond, as well as plenty of potty breaks in our big backyard! I'm a stay at home mom, so I'm available all day to take your fur babies for walks, let out for potty breaks, and get lots of play and attention! I have two kiddos who love dogs and love to play! I also have a good sized fenced in yard for running and potty breaks! I can provide a kennel if needed! My home is peaceful, and fully outfitted with security!
“I have an energetic puppy dog and Brenda has been great in helping him learn to stay calm around and older, smaller dog. Everyday that I come to pick him up, he's in a great mood and she even sends me pictures of him throughout the day of him playing and having a good time in the backyard and sleeping in his puppy bed. I couldn't ask for a more responsible individual to care for my puppy. 10 out of 10, would book again!”

My work schedule allows me to be highly flexible and attentive to the pets in my care, ensuring they receive the attention and stimulation they need throughout the day.

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.
“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! Linda gives her so much love, attention, and playtime and I feel 100% at ease knowing she’s in such good hands. 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! 💕🐾”
“Janie did a wonderful job taking care of my puppy, I can see that he got plenty of play time and was exhausted when we returned home and feel asleep instantly. Thank you very much!”
“We had a great experience with Amrita! They took wonderful care of my dog, Chotu, and made the whole process stress-free from start to finish. I really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and how attentive they were to Chotu’s needs and routine. It was clear that Chotu was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. Communication was excellent, and I felt confident knowing my dog was in good hands. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

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.

Your babies will be treated like family! I’m currently working part time as a barber and full time as a single mother. I am free in the mornings after school drop off, throughout the afternoon, and in the evening after school pick up. I’d make your pet my priority. I hope for a future in animal rescue, but will settle for helping my neighbors pets in the mean time. I have a fenced yard with a large dog door for free roaming pups. I walk my dogs in the evenings when it’s cool out. The litter boxes must be changed daily with 4 kitties running the house. I will show your home the same respect I require in mine.

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!”

You followed every request perfectly — from feeding and walks to all the little routines that helped make him feel comfortable. The updates and photos you sent were such a thoughtful touch and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear you genuinely care, and that meant the world to us.

“One thousand percent would recommend!! They clearly spent time and care ensuring our dogs were 100% comfortable and cared for, and they gave us consistent updates on how they were doing the entire week we were gone. Absolutely will rebook in the future!”
“Jerica watched our puppy for us and I can tell he loved being with her. Communication was great and overall the rover experience with Jerica was easy. I will definitely rebook with her. Thanks again”
“We had a perfect experience with Melanie and Elisa and are very thankful for how they took care of our two dogs. We met up to make sure our doggos were a good fit in their home, and they asked plenty of questions about care and preferences. While we were away, we got detailed messages about the day's activities along with several photos. From the photos, we could tell the dogs felt right at home. We felt they were being well taken care of the whole time, and we hope they can stay over again soon!”
“Sarah was great! Our pup Lexie has some separation anxiety, which makes leaving her home alone a challenge, and Sarah handled it like a champ. She also sent over two adorable videos of Lexie playing and running around - she was clearly having the time of her life! We'd use Sarah again in a heartbeat!”
“Amber is very nice!! She sent me pictures of Princess to show me she was ok and doing just fine. Princess had a great time with Amber!! I would definitely use Amber again when I take my next vacation.”
“Super professional and nice to my pup. Sent updates and photos every day our dog was at his house. 100% going to use Kyle again if we have another day or two trip that we need to go on.”
“Anabel did an incredible job watching our husky and maltipoo while we were out of town for 5 days. She was very accommodating and worked around our schedule. She kept us updated with many pictures and videos of the dogs. Coco and Luna had a blast at her house! We would 100% have her watch our dogs again!”
“Jacob was great as always. He has watched our two babies many times now. So grateful to have a reliable and trustworthy person we can rely on. We travel so carefree knowing our doggies are in good hands.”
“We couldn’t have been happier during our experience with Cassandra and Jason. They were very friendly, super responsive and brought such a positive energy for our pup to live in. Highly recommended!”
