Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Walnut Hill

“Have rebooked Kathy a few times because she takes such great care of my kitties. She’s also very accommodating when I ask for other little things, like feeding the fish, and watering plants.”

About: I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every pet like they are my own. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets, energetic with playful dogs, and gentle with senior animals who may need extra support and slower-paced care. I’m also very detail-oriented and make sure routines are followed closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, potty breaks, and playtime. I communicate consistently with pet owners through updates and photos so they always know their pet is happy and well cared for. What sets me apart most is the amount of genuine attention and affection I give to each pet. I don’t just “watch” animals — I spend quality time with them to make sure they feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for while you’re away. I'm currently nannying on weekdays from 8:00am - 4:30 pm, so I’m available for morning visits before work, evening walks/check-ins, and overnight care depending on the pet’s needs. I’m especially flexible on weekends and have much more availability for walks, drop-ins, extended stays, and quality playtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent, stress-free, and fun. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, attention, and playtime, and feel comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I have two large-breed dogs at home, so I’m comfortable handling bigger, high-energy dogs, and I have also frequently dog sat for smaller-breed dogs with different temperaments and care needs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care requests.

“Alex is always on time, she’s super reliable, communicates thoroughly, and is very loving and attentive with our fur babies. Regardless of how shy or how excitable each one of them is, Alex gives them each personalized attention so they all feel comfortable and happy. By far the best pet sitter we’ve worked with and the most detail oriented as well (which is a huge plus considering we have three pets that each require different care in their own ways). We always feel confident and reassured when they’re under her care. Thank you, Alex!!🐾😊🐈‍⬛🐕🐕”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was little. We adopted my first dog when I was 9 years old, and now he is a senior dog that requires time, care and attention. I have experience with all ages of dogs and cats, and am dedicated to making your fur baby feel comfortable and happy. My goal is to make sure your cat or dog gets the best time and attention even when you are not home. I am currently working part-time at a yoga studio! I have plenty of time on the side to play with your pups or hangout with some cats! I have availability during the day M-F and Saturday mornings currently. I can be very flexible to accommodate your schedule to make sure your fur babies are taken care of. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special needs to ensure they feel secure and cared for while you're away. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while maintaining a clean and safe environment. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else's care, so I will keep you updated with messages and photos throughout my visits. As a psychology graduate with experience working in caregiving and support roles, I am patient, attentive, and committed to creating a positive experience for both pets and their owners.

“Ilene took such good care of my cats while I was out of town. She sent me so many pictures and it was so nice and reassuring to see how much fun my girls were having while I was away. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

About: Hi, my name is Missy I've had a great deal of experience with all different kinds of animals. I worked with a local vet helping place feral cats in homes and providing excellent care for them. Including helping pregnant feral cats with delivery and maternal care. I have volunteered at the Wisconsin Humane Society. There I worked in the Wildlife rehabilitation center as well as the dog care center. I currently own dogs and cats of my own and I recognize how important it is to provide excellent care as well as exercise and playtime. I have past experience in boarding and dog sitting in my home which has always been a great experience. Can't wait to give the love and care your dog(s) deserve!

“Emily took great care of my three kitties while I was gone. She was wonderful at communicating and following the instructions I left. The litter area is clean and she watered my plants! I highly recommend her for your pet care. A+++”

“Jeremy was an amazing cat sitter! Both my cats were immediately comfortable and really grew to like Jeremy’s daily visits and play time. Super responsive and always sending lots of pics for me to check in on- it’s was such a relief to have them in Jeremy’s care. Highly recommend!!!”

John L.

“Qian was the best! She was super responsive and gave updates/pictures/videos when we asked. She took good care of our 9 year old cat when we were gone for a few days on vacation. She played with our cat, fed her churu treats, did the litter box scooping, and everything else! She was respectful of our space and our cat bonded with her. Would definitely recommend!!!”

Kendall L.

“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better dog lover, than Jamie. Jamie was fantastic to work with, and has great communication. I look forward to working with her in the future.”

Edward S.

“Very timely and responsive”

Sarrah O.

“Hope is the best. I have an old cat with lots of special needs making it hard to leave him alone but Hope was super communicative, caring and made me feel comfortable that he was in good hands.”

About: Taking care of dogs is something I have enjoyed for much of my life, even a malanois can’t resist my affection! I’m very excited to have fun with your fur baby! I am currently working part time so my availability is open to help you and your lovely pet! I am able to easily balance your pet care with my own schedule. Figuring out your pets needs is crucial, then building a good routine around play, rest and bathroom breaks. Building a good routine is very important for me to develop a good relationship with your friend!

About: Hi! I would be an amazing pet sitter because I love animals. Ever since I was little I have had pets whether dogs, cats, ducks or turtles. I am currently in college and away from my dog Nalla so taking care of your pet would honestly be special for me too. One of the main reasons I am on rover is because I love to walk and hike and figured why not add a companion. Hi! I am currently on break from work and school so I can make anything work! I am available everyday of the week at any hours necessary! I sadly cannot have any pets in my home because I live in an apartment but I can take that out for walks in areas near me! I also am used to taking care of a dog when I am home so can do whatever the owner needs!
