About: I have worked as a pet boarder and sitter on Rover for about a year. Having previously worked as a certified nursing assistant, I have experience as a caregiver, and one of my greatest passions is caring for pets. Dogs and cats are members of a family, and it is so important to care for them as you would any other family member. I have several years of experience boarding dogs for their owners when they have been on vacation, and have also cared for my own animals throughout my whole life. I also have experience as an animal transporter for West Hancock canine rescue, in which I would work with a team to take dogs and cats from high kill shelters to foster homes or rescues. I also have a wonderful dog I rescued, Ollie, who is friendly and likes to play with other dogs at times. I’m working part-time so have time to play with pups! And our family loves animals, so it’s a great fit for us to pet sit, and we like providing a home environment for owners who need to travel. I provide a calm, safe and fun environment for pets to play. Provide walks and let pets out regularly. I believe it’s important to attend to all feeding and medication needs as a high priority.

“We have used Kati in the past - our dlogs love her!!!! She does a great job with them and I highly recommend her. Our dogs aren't "easy" and she won them over immediately. Thanks Kati!!!!”

About: I have had a dog since I was a kid and love the companionship they bring to our family. Very experienced in grooming and feeding and all types of care that dogs can require. Have also had senior pets that needed lots of special care that I am always happy to provide. I work from home, so here all day with my Goldendoodle. Also have a flexible work schedule for walks during the day and in the evenings. Weekends we like to take longer walks to explore the neighborhood around us. I have a fenced in yard, a Goldendoodle that loves to play with other dogs, and three teenage boys who love to care for pets.

“Darien was great with our girl! Would definitely recommend!”

“Jason quickly made a strong connection with our lab, Ralph, and with us. He puts extra time, thought and effort into his care of Ralph which has made a difference. He is also extremely responsive and provides detailed information about each interaction. He’s terrific!”

“Deidre was AMAZING with my with two pups and can’t RECOMMEND her enough! Unfortunately, one of my dogs became very ill before I left for vacation and required extensive, round the clock care. Deirdre was able to administer all of the medications, stick to the strict food regimen, come by every 2 hours to check in, and even cleaned up all of the accidents from my sick pup. :/ She kept me updated throughout the trip with texts and pictures, asked questions when needed, and when my other dog sitter fell through at last minute, she was able to rearrange her schedule to cover. Overall, I am very grateful for her help and it truly put my mind at ease knowing Deirdre could be there to take care of them! Thank you again!”

“Brianna was amazing! My pups have anxiety and unfortunately we needed a last minute dog Walker, we were nervous as our pups never met Brianna before but she was so patient and gentle with them! Highly recommend ☺️”

Jessica M.

“Haven was so great with our dog. She was available on short notice and went above and beyond to take care of our dog that has anxiety. He felt very comfortable with her right away. I would highly recommend Haven as a dog walker/sitter!”

About: Welcome to Sherry’s Pet Care Services – 50 Years of Caring for Pets. Because your furry family member deserves nothing less than the best! As a lifelong animal lover and dedicated pet parent myself, I understand that leaving your beloved companion is never easy. That's why I've created a warm, safe, and fun environment where your pet will receive the same love, attention, and care they get at home. What Makes My Service Special: Personalized Care: Every pet is unique, and I tailor my approach to match your pet's specific needs, personality, and routine. Whether they're a playful puppy who needs constant entertainment or a senior dog who prefers gentle walks and cozy naps, I adapt to what makes them happiest. Daily Adventures: From morning walks to afternoon play sessions and evening cuddles, your pet's day will be filled with activities. I'm located near beautiful parks and walking trails, perfect for dogs who love outdoor exploration. Peace of Mind: I provide regular photo and video updates throughout your pet's stay, so you can see exactly how much fun they're having. You'll never wonder how your furry friend is doing! For everyone’s safety, I only book 1 family at a time. If you have two dogs, that’s okay. Flexible Scheduling: I understand that travel plans can change. I offer flexible pickup and drop-off times, and I'm always available to discuss your pet's needs before their stay. Your Pet Will Experience: • Multiple daily walks and outdoor playtime • Individualized attention and cuddle sessions • Consistent feeding schedules with their familiar food • Medication administration if needed • Overnight companionship (no pet sleeps alone!) • Emergency veterinary care coordination if needed About Me: I've been caring for animals for 50 years. and I don’t have a pet now, so I can give all my attention to yours. I’ve volunteered for Save-A-Pet, the Anti-Cruelty Society and am a supporter of the ASPCA (American Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals). I'm committed to treating every guest like they're part of my own family. I'm available for meet-and-greets before any booking because I believe it's essential for your pet to feel comfortable with me before their stay. Your pet's happiness and your peace of mind are my top priorities. Ready to give your furry family member a vacation they'll love? Let's set up a meet-and-greet to discuss your pet's specific needs and see if we're the perfect match! All meet and greets will be held at Cynthia T. Peterson Park, 200 W Hawthorn Pkwy, Vernon Hills, IL 60061, because this is the park I will be walking your precious pooch. I’m currently unemployed and looking for full time work, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups! I’m also available for boarding during the week and on weekends. I have a beautiful park nearby to walk your pup in a dog friendly environment. I follow Cesar Milan and use his techniques with trust, love and respect.

About: I provide loving and fun care! I have my own dog so I am experienced with dogs. I am familiar with what to do with anxious or aggressive dogs. I have been caring for dogs for over 12 years now, walking and dropping by! Dogs are my favorite animal so I truly love caring for them. I know how to feed and administer medication if needed. I can walk your dog for as long of a walk as you would like and where you would like if there is a path you prefer. I love playing with dogs to make sure they are happy with me visiting them. I give belly rubs and play tug of war. Whatever your dog's favorite game is I’ll play it! :) I am currently working full time remote. I am home and have a flexible schedule so I can visit your pet as needed! I can work around your schedule. I will go outside to play and spend time with your dog. I can monitor their play time in the back yard and make it fun. I can crate your dog before I leave if needed. I can take your dog on a walk if desired.

“Melissa was great and immediately bonded with Scarlet at our first meeting. Will definitely be contacting her again when the need arrives.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 15 and have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have a cat, so I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs. I’ve previously provided dog walking and house sitting services during the week, and I understand the importance of keeping pets happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every animal like family and bring years of hands-on experience to each visit. I work a full-time job Monday through Friday, but I’m available for pet care after 5 PM on weekdays and fully open on weekends. I love spending my free time with animals—it’s the perfect way to unwind and bring joy to my week. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a clean, calm, and supervised environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I never leave pets unattended outdoors and always use leashes on walks to ensure their safety.

About: I have been dog-sitting for five years now. I would say I’m a very patient person as I teach dance to young children. I am very hardworking and trustworthy person. I’m currently finishing a degree in dance and marketing! Following my college graduation, I will be available during the day until I go to teach dance. My schedule varies each day and sometimes varies week to week, but I always have my morning available. I am definitely a morning person! I keep my home and my own spaces very clean and organized. I really don’t like clutter which makes for safer environments for your animals.

About: I have been an animal lover all my life and have had two dogs of my own since the age of 18. I love playing fetch, walks and cuddling just as much as my pets do. I have a German Shepard and had a Rottweiler who passed away earlier this year. I have been dogsitting now for over 8 years and love being able to give my clients peace of mind while they are unable to be there! I love updating my clients and sending photos throughout my visits especially since I know what it’s like to have to leave your pets in the hands of someone else! I just recently graduation ultrasound school and work full time as an ultrasound technician. I am very used to the daily routine of having a pet and have no problem helping out where I’m needed! The best thing about being able to provide these services is knowing how comfortable my clients feel with me taking care of their pets. I love each pet as if they were my own and will always put their sacred and needs as my main priority.

About: I love animals and caring for them! I’ve had a dog myself for 8 years and cared for my friends/family’s cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and more. I have a quiet home - just myself and two grown children (20 and 17) so sitting at my home is always an option. I have a pretty flexible and open schedule since I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I can spend time with the animals and they won’t be home alone all day long. I’m also open to sitting at the owner’s home for those reasons. I like to stay active so walking/running with your animals is always fun for me :) I look forward to caring for your loved pets as they are my own! Message me with any questions.

“Thanks for caring for Tubbs!”
