About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. I’ve also taken care of senior dogs, so I know how to handle their special care. I’m very experienced in feeding and grooming, and I love the companionship it brings to a family! I am a stay at home mom, and my husband works from home, so there’s always someone there to watch and play with your fur baby! We always have lots of time for walking and playing throughout the day. I have an extremely safe neighborhood with a little park about a 3 minute walk away, two kids that love playing with dogs, (15 and 8) and an extremely friendly mini goldendoodle!

“Sarah was amazing! I had a very last minute need for my dog and cat and Sarah responded very quickly and we hashed out the details immediately! I had a few time slots I needed her for at first and then things came up where I needed to cancel a couple of them and she was so quick and helpful to communicate back with me. She was great! Thank you again Sarah!”

About: I've been around dogs since I've had a working memory. From friend's, family's, neighbor's to my own I've watched and cared for many different dogs of many different sizes and needs. Dogs are a joy and a privilege to care for and deserve the best. I've worked with pups to pops and enjoy both :) I currently work part time in the mornings. Whether your pet/s need to be fed/let out, walked or just needs company I know I'll find time to give them the attention and care they deserve. If I'm pet sitting, I'm able to stay in you're home and give your pets all the attention they could dream of. Chill, lazy dog? Nothing like relaxing outside or watching TV getting pets and cuddles. Adventurous hounds? Lots of walks and play. I tailor the pet care your fur babies need to fit their lives and personalities. I work 1:1 with pet families so that your pets get all of my attention.

“Alex did amazing job at taking care of my pet chinchilla!! She spent time playing with him and made sure my chinchilla’s cage was stock up in fresh hay, food, water and toys. 😊”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. Watching family and friends dogs gives me great joy! Dogs have been a part of my whole life. I love them dearly, my sister in law travels quite often which gives me the opportunity to watch her two dogs. One is a puppy full of energy and they are so fun to spend time with and play. Love going on walks to the forest preserves out in nature. let me be your dogs new friend. I work four days a week Tuesday thru Friday until 3:30pm. I'm available for boarding Friday nights thru Monday. I can take dogs for walks on Mondays, Weekends, and Tuesday-Friday after 4. I have a big home plenty of space to run around and play. My backyard is good size and fenced in. I can update you with photos of your dog. I can maintain the feeding schedule as required. I will make sure your dog has plenty outdoor time walks or just playing in my yard.

About: As a retired U.S. Navy Senior Chief, I bring reliability, patience, and attention to detail to every pet I care for. I know every dog has a different personality, and I take the time to earn their trust while keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I'm an experienced dog owner and understand everything from energetic puppies that need structure and exercise to older dogs that benefit from a slower pace and extra patience. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing with company, I'll tailor my care to their needs and stick closely to your routine. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is simple: to care for your dog the same way I'd want someone to care for my own. I'm retired from the U.S. Navy, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I build my day around their needs, whether that's morning walks, midday potty breaks, playtime, feeding, or evening visits. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, so regular walks are something I genuinely look forward to. I also understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine to help them feel comfortable while you're away. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care and make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved every visit. I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs, while making sure your pet receives plenty of attention and affection. During walks and visits, safety is always my top priority. I use secure leashing practices, pay close attention to each dog's comfort and behavior, and never rush their time outside. I clean up after pets, keep fresh water available, and make sure they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own. You'll receive regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I have lived with and played with dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a German Shepard, and later on, two cats. I started caring for dogs as an adult in 2023. I have experience pet sitting, dog walking, and playing with dogs and cats. I have a love for animals all shapes and sizes, and will make your pets' needs a top priority. I'm currently home from school. I work a part time job as a server on weekday nights. I also have a remote class Tuesday afternoons. I'm available any time outside of that range to care for your pets! I'm flexible when it comes to scheduling, and willing to accommodate to whatever is best for you. When caring for other people's pets, I make sure to send frequent check-ins, photos, and questions to the owner. If needed, I have my own car in case of any vet trips/emergencies.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always had a passion for animals. As a student and full-time house manager, I can’t have a pet of my own right now, so I love spending time with your fur babies instead. In my work as a house manager, pets are part of the family. I’ve helped reinforce training techniques alongside professional trainers, focusing on building trust and confidence at each pet’s pace with plenty of patience, playtime, and treats. I’ve also learned valuable pet care and wellness tips from a close friend who is a vet tech. You can count on me to provide dependable care, regular updates, and lots of love while you’re away. I’m currently balancing work and school as I pursue my BSW and accelerated MSW, with the goal of becoming a child and adolescent therapist and advocate. My schedule varies throughout the week, but I have dedicated availability to provide dependable pet care. As an experienced house manager, I understand the importance of routines, communication, and creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Building trust with both you and your pet is my top priority. I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and the chance to get comfortable at their own pace. At home, I greet our cat Kiki like family and I’m convinced one day he’ll talk back! I bring that same energy to every pet I care for, including Bear, a playful pit bull I see regularly. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, provide lots of love and attention, and keep you updated while you’re away.

About: I’ve been blessed to be a dad to three Labrador Retrievers and they’ve instilled a great sense of love and caring for all dogs. And I’m ready to care for yours with Drop-Ins & Walks. I want my pups to receive warm, focused care and attention, and that’s exactly what your family member will receive. So, if you need help during your work day or don’t want to rush home from an evening out, I’m here to help. I stepped away from Rover the past two years & I’m excited to be back! I work out of my home and have a flexible schedule. So I can take care of your dogs and walk them based on your needs and theirs. Whatever your (and your dog’s) needs are, I’m happy to meet them. Whether it’s a drop-in visit and/or walk, I’ll make sure your dog is happy, safe and well taken care of. And you won’t have to worry one bit about your family member.

“Kelsey watched our cat for a week while we were out of town. She was always on time, took great photos and took excellent care of “our boy.” An issue came up with our garage door opening on its own, and Kelsey quickly got in touch with us and manually closed the door. And she made sure our house was secure. She made us feel completely secure knowing our house and our cat were being taken care of. We would definitely use Kelsey’s services again.”

“Ally did fantastic! She was very tentative and responsive coming to meet my dog and I before heading out of town! She checked in every time and took pictures so I knew my dog was in good hands! She really helped me feel at ease leaving my home and dog for a few days. This was my first time using Rover and I WILL be using Ally again! Highly recommend!”
