“Katy has been incredible with our Australian Shepard! She is incredibly responsive and we have been so lucky to have her walk him on a regular basis! Katy is always here on time and lets us know about everything! She’s incredible and if you are looking for any services with your pup she’s the one to reach out to!”


“My dog was super hyped during the first meet and Anthony's calm energy helped him relax. On his first walk, my dog didn't even look back to see if I was coming which is a good sign that he enjoys his company. Definitely booking future services with Anthony. Thank you for your patience and kindness!”


“Great walker.”


About: I have taken care of dogs as a drop in and while the family was on vacation. I also enjoy walking dogs. Also, have taken care and trained puppies and have catered to senior dogs. My dog owners are very pleased with my skills and patience with their dogs. They appreciate my care and kindness I show to their babies. I am semi-retired, I work at the Coal City schools as a recess monitor during the school year. I am very flexible with my time around recess hours. I don’t mind late night walks/drop ins (before 10pm) or early morning walks/drop ins. I am respectful of your home when coming to get your dog. I am respectful of your home and your yard. I do not use or go into other parts of your home not previously given permission to access. I am in constant communication when it comes to the welfare of your fur baby.

“We've used Bill as our dog walker for our two cattle dogs for almost two years. He's even done house sitting on occasion! They love him! He's trained them very well to be calm on walks which if you knew my dogs that takes lots of patience. He always was so kind to do small little extra things (bring garbage bins or packages outside) that was so helpful especially when I was on maternity leave. We highly recommend Bill! We will continue to use him in the future, as needed!”


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.

“Alyssa is great! Very good with updates and communication. Great with my dogs and very reliable. Highly recommended”

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: Hello! My name is Lexi, and I have a lot of experience dealing with dogs. For about 7 years now, family and friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs. I have worked at an animal hospital as a kennel technician as well as been a dog bather. I have learned so much from those jobs and gained a lot of knowledge on how to care for them. Working at those jobs has also helped me learn about dog behaviors and how to properly deal with them. If you choose me to be your dog walker/sitter, I can promise your baby will be in great hands! I currently have a full time job, so I will set up my calendar around that to show my availability! I will try my best to work around my schedule for my clients At my client’s homes I always make sure the dog(s) I am caring for are comfortable and happy. I am great at following directions carefully when it comes to instructions that pet parents leave for me, since that was my main responsibility at my previous job as a kennel technician. I also make time to cuddle, play with, and exercise your digs so they are as happy as can be!

About: I’ve lived with and cared for animals my entire life. Growing up with a mother who was always taking in stray cats and a household that adopted many dogs, rabbits and birds, I am passionate about all animals. I’ve been a pet sitter for friends, family and family of friends most of my life and have always lived with at least 4 at a time. Now that we live with only our senior dog, I would love to get back to looking after more furry friends! Our dog has been through emergency surgery, a broken bone and a tear and has required constant care this past year. He is doing much better and after everything we’ve gone through, I’m now committed to building my life around animals. I plan to foster in the near future as our boy gets 100% back to his normal self and one day open a dog rescue. Nothing amazes me more than the loyalty and love they hold. I’m here to do my part and give that back to them tenfold. Im currently working part time and am looking to make pet care my full time job! I’m used to caring for mine and my families dogs while not at work, so to make it a round the clock routine would make me more than happy. I have a fenced yard and all the toys/treats to keep your pup occupied! While my senior dog doesn’t play too much at the moment, he is a great supervisor and still loves all the sniffs.


About: I grew up with both a cat and a dog, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I love spending time with friends’ pets and treat every animal like family. You can count on me to give your pet lots of love, attention, and reliable care while you're away. 🐾 I don’t have any pets currently, but when I did, I made it a priority to spend time with them every day. I would play with them regularly and made sure to take my dog out to socialize with her friends. At home, I provide a clean, safe space with regular feeding, fresh water, and daily play or walks. I monitor behavior and health closely. In a client’s home, I follow their routine carefully, keep the space clean, and give regular updates to ensure peace of mind.

About: Hello, I’m Joshua, or “Shua” for short! I’m very personable with both people and pets. I’m a driven, energetic, and playful person who lives for moments of 1 on 1 connection with animals. I don’t have any dogs of my own, but I have accumulated so much pet sitting experience through Rover. I’ve had the privilege of caring for a diverse range of pups, including Black Labs, Retrievers, Shih-Tzus, Goldendoodles.. You name it, I’ve cuddled it! Through my pet sitting experience, I see myself as an adoptive pet parent. I LOVE that my apartment is rarely empty, and a fur baby is always in reach ♥️🐶 I live in the suburban neighborhood of Spring Branch. I love how much there is to do here. It’s great for running, playing, or any other activity a dog’s heart may desire. My apartment complex has a large yard with lots of open space and grass for my furry guests to play. I play soccer competitively and practice every day. I also enjoy running and cooking. My favorite shows are Suits and How I Met Your Mother. I love watching TV with friends and family. I got a 30 on my ACT and take pride in being able to find creative and intelligent solutions to any problem I’m faced with while dog sitting. Feel free to reach out with any questions!! I am an open book and ALWAYS looking to provide a better pet experience with each new booking. I currently work from home. My work schedule is very lax and subject to change in order to accommodate pet care. Of course, making sure that each room is stacked with the proper food, water, and equipment whenever i’m leaving the house is part of my routine, and is of paramount importance to me. I live in a one bedroom apartment. I like to distribute the dogs evenly amongst the bedroom and living room, depending on compatibility between pups. Then the rooms are stacked with toys, food, and water. From there, it’s just a matter of making sure the pups receive adequate exercise. This can be accomplished through ball play in a smaller space, Fetch, or light jogging outside.

About: Hi my name is Keyaisa! I'm your friendly neighborhood dog sitter :) I’m absolutely passionate about dogs and all things furry. I’m 22 now & been dog sitting for about 4 years.

I’m currently working part time. No specific schedule right now. Please let me know how I can help out, thanks. I can commute as well I do not have a fenced in yard yet. We let our dogs out on chains in the yard. It’s safe, we never had any problems.

About: I’ve worked at a vet for about a year now in the back taking care of the dogs boarding. I’ve had the training and opportunities to take care of many animals, dogs, cats rabbits and of all sizes. Love working with them. I have had dogs for as long as I could remember. I’ve always been comfortable and very responsible while taking care of animals. I am also currently in school to be a Veterinary Technician which has helped me with learning to administer meds, CPR, wound care, behavioral concerns, etc. I have also gotten a lot of experience working at a vet as well as having my own animals or watching friends/ families animals. Pet is a daily thing for me, whether it be caring for my own animals, family friends animals, or even the animals I have to care for at school. It is one of the most important things to me, being a voice for animals. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs at home so it a a constant thing to make sure they’re all cared for. Feeding, walking, cleaning up after them etc. It would be the same for me taking care of a clients pet. Feeding, watering, playing or walking, or cuddles. What is best for your pet and most comfortable for them.

“Rachel has been good with the girls. She has been flexible on times, especially in the evening hours. She is very dependable. The girls are happy to see her.”


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 !

About: Hi everyone! 🥰🐾 I am caring, loving, very trustworthy, outgoing and will take care of your pet like it is my own. I started doing this off the “Wag” app in November 2019- and even created my own FB business page as well! I will be nothing but kind to your sweet babies, allowing them to get energy out, play, bring happiness, joy, and smiles into their day! This wouldn’t only be doing business for me, but a passion as well, as I love dogs/cats .🙂 ALL animals MUST be UTD on flea/tick meds and UTD ON ALL SHOTS!!! We must be safe! ❤️ I allow animals in my car. I have a Golden Mix and a 2 ShortHaired Pointers, along with cats! 🐕🦺🐕🐈 Experience with pups that pull, get out of harness. NO AGGRESSIVE DOGS! I am NOT a trainer!!!!! I have worked with many breeds: labs, goldens, ShortHaired pointers, keeshound , Doberman, German Shepards, husky’s, Bully breeds, cane corsos, Maltese. Mostly large dogs but i love them all! 🐶 I am always free on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as evenings. If i did happen to sit your dog during the day i would be at work. I always try to make the fur baby as comfortable as possible and let them warm up at their own pace. I do not have a fenced in yard but i love to take my own dogs and yours now too on walks and play to stimulate their mind! I work part time, leaving the rest of my time to my dog services! I would take them on a walk, potty, feed, play, get snuggles and loves! I do not have a fenced in yard so i always keep dogs on leaches. I have 3 dogs if my own they can play with along with cats, but if they feel scared or uncomfortable i do have 2 kennels.
