“Pete does a great job. Our dog is very happy to see him.”

“Samantha is great! She’s communicative, flexible, and always right on time. Mostly importantly my dog absolutely loves her. Highly recommend.”

“Caitlin was absolutely wonderful and would highly recommend to anyone to take care of their dog.”

“Rochelle is AMAZING!! She watched 8 week old puppy and 6-year-old dog while we were on vacation. They were so loved and well taken care of that I had no worries. She sent us pictures and videos to show this how they were doing while we were away, which really helped out a lot! She was very good with communication and we had no worries the entire time we were gone! We will use her all the time even if it's just to let the dogs out or take them for a walk. We just love her!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets my entire life. I have experience dog-sitting, cat-sitting, dog walking and even some grooming. My passionate love for animals doesn’t vary between small, large, young, or old - I love them all! I work part-time at a vets office in Columbia, IL. I have plenty of weekend availability and very flexible during the week. Please reach out to see if my exact schedule would work for you! My goal is to make your furry friend feel as comfortable as possible with me. I take caution when getting to know a new animal, making sure to give them the time and space they need in order to get to know me.

“I have two smaller dogs, one being a miniature, Australian Shepherd, and the other being a jack Russell terrier. We tend to go on a lot of camping trips during the summer and Brittney has watched my dogs each time and we couldn’t be more thrilled with her and how she treats our dogs and loves on them. She even goes above and beyond and brings them new toys.”

“Kayla has always been wonderful with animals! she has watched our two dogs and cats by herself for overnight weekends several times. She is very good with them, and they love her!”

“Adriana is absolutely fantastic with dogs. She dog sits for me about once every three months for a weekend when I have to travel for school. I have a Great Dane, a lab, and a yorkie. She handles all of them wonderfully. She always makes sure to walk and feed them properly. She’s also very kind and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Alison is an awesome walker for our dog! Great service! And is always on time and friendly :)”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14. Neighbors, family friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets when they were away. I currently have all the time in the world to help with pets and fur babies. they will have a fenced yard and plenty of activities. I have a fenced yard and a dog off my own for them to play with. If need be I have two levels and large rooms for quiet time or separate play.

About: I am an avid pet lover. I’ve been around dogs all my life (minus a short time when I lived in an apartment and couldn’t have a dog, so we decided to adopt 2 cats!). I am a pretty active gal, and am able to take dogs for walks (and even run if they want to). I'm open to drop in visits, housesitting, walks, etc. I am unable to provide boarding at my house, as our Chloe is selective about her friends. We are working with her on being more tolerant of others. If boarding is your preference, I would be open to a Chloe meet-and-greet to make sure your dog and Chloe are comfortable with each other. I work locally around Columbia, so I am able to do some petsitting during the week. I have more availability on the weekends. If my schedule allows, I can drop in on lunch to check on your pets. Your rules are my rules. As long as the dog/cat/etc. is happy, I am happy. My dogs are allowed on furniture and have the run of the house. Of course, they are not chewers and (typically) do not destroy things.

About: I've taken care of all sorts of animals since I was a child. I have 2 dogs, 2 rats, and a 20 gal fish tank in my home. I've trained my own dogs one of whom came to us feral. I am accustomed to helping and training reactive dogs and welcome the challenge. I work full time, about 8 hours a day. Typically have Wednesdays and Sundays off. I love animals and enjoy spending my free time with them. I have 2 dogs that re used to other animals coming in out of the home. In the past I have rehabilitated small animals and found them suitable homes.

“Fantastic! My dogs love their walks with Andrea. She is very responsive and great with my dogs!”

“Melissa is amazing with our 11 monrh old puppy and loves her like her own. Our hound mix, Zeana, is 11 months old. Melissa has been sitting for her her since we got her at just a couple of months. We highly recommend Melissa. Zeana is always excited to see her.”

“Lizzie has always loved all kinds of animals. Growing up she had cats, dogs, fish, birds, hamsters, etc. She loved and cared for them all!”

“Annie is fantastic with dogs and puppies! If you have your pups stay with her you can expect that your dog will get a lot of attention and activity. She is the very first person I ask if I need my dog watched.”

“Colton is awesome! This was his first walk with one of our pups and our pup adores him. Colton is super friendly, down to earth, and communicative. We couldn't have found someone better suited for us!”

“Knowing Bernie for decades now, caring for animals has always been a top priority for her. She really loves to nurture and play with animals as she absolutely loves seeing a happy pet! Her great passion for the well-being of all animals makes her an ideal Rover sitter!”

About: I have taken care of family and friends dogs, cats, bunnies and farm animals growing up and recently have begun house sitting for families in the Portland, ME area. Sits range from the weekend to a full month caring for small and large dogs, cats, alpacas, goats and bunnies. I have had experience walking up to 2 dogs in the city, trails or beaches and providing medications when needed. I have open availability mornings, afternoons and evenings, weekdays and weekends. Available for walks, drop ins and house sits! Happy to discuss a schedule that works for you :) When caring for pets I focus on making them feel comfortable and attended to, with extra pets and snuggles. Giving time to play outside, preparing a nice treat, keeping a clean living space, and monitoring needs depending on situation.

“Erin is very good with animals you can tell she really loves them and she has always been a great dog mom there isn’t anyone else I would want to leave my pet with than her.”
