“Excellent job! Dogs happy and well cared for. Good communication with each visit”

About: I have been cat sitting since the age of 15, and dog sitting since I was 17. I have experience with administering insulin and pills, and have worked with cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes! I am currently unemployed for the next few months so I have open availability! This will be the case for the majority of the summer. Unfortunately my two cats would not like any friends in the home, so I would only be able to visit yours. I can walk or let them outside in a fenced in yard.

About: Hi, I’m Jhadira! 👋 I recently experienced a layoff from my corporate HR career, so I’m taking this opportunity to spend my time doing something I truly love, caring for dogs! I’m located in the La Grange area and have a large, fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe, supervised playtime. I share my home with my two spoiled pups, Charlie and August, and I also help care for my family’s senior dog, Tony. Caring for dogs through every stage of life has taught me that each one has their own personality, routine, and unique needs. I have over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. My experience includes potty training puppies, working with high-maintenance dogs, caring for puppies undergoing treatment for intestinal worms and other temporary medical needs, administering oral medications, basic obedience training for both puppies and older dogs, walking and running with active dogs, and providing extra patience and specialized care for senior dogs. Whether your dog is full of energy, needs a little extra attention, or enjoys a slower pace, I’m happy to tailor my care to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’m also training for a half-marathon myself so if your dog needs that outdoor exercise I would gladly love the company on my runs! As a dog mom myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. That’s why I treat every dog as if they were my own. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my highest priorities. I’ll follow your dog’s routine closely, provide regular photo and video updates, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and enrichment while you’re away. Over the years, I’ve also built relationships with wonderful local pet professionals. If you ever need recommendations, I’m happy to share trusted groomers and veterinarians that I’ve had great experiences with. Whether your pup loves long walks, backyard zoomies, playing fetch, learning new tricks, or curling up for a nap, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! Open schedule, I have my own two dogs I look after but have all day to drop in for a walk or to check in on yours! I have a tight schedule with my own dogs and will make sure to make your fur baby feel as safe and loved as if they were home.

About: I feel strongly about the human animal-bond and I believe your pets deserve the best care possible! My experience goes back to childhood since I've had cats and dogs my whole life. I've watched neighbors' and friends' pets while they were out of town and even watched a friend's horses while she was on vacation. I walked dogs at Anderson Animal Shelter (now Anderson Humane) as a kid. I worked for a pet sitting company for a little over a year in 2020. That year I also began school to become a certified veterinary technician. After two years taking classes full time and completing two externships I became a CVT. My schooling did include kennels- aka walking, cleaning up after and caring for the rescued dogs and cats we learned on (they were adopted out at the end of each semester). I also have helped with pets who were boarding at veterinary offices. I can do medical treatments on your fur baby if necessary. I am open to watching exotic pets. I have a huge admiration for spicy cats. I am your person for house sitting and drop in visits. I will be using Rover for part time work but I do have flexible availability! I have stepped away from full time work all together for the foreseeable future. I am a morning person and I would love to spend some time outside with your pup whatever the weather may be. I enjoy walking outside even in zero degree weather! I am happy to accommodate any routine you need for your fur babies. Greeting your pet is important, especially if I am new to them. I will give them food and water and clean dishes as advised by you. I will take them for a walk or outside to play and go potty depending on what they are up for. If you need pills or treatments or any kind to be administered I can absolutely do that. I will treat your pet, your home and belongings with the utmost respect and responsibility.

About: I am passionate about rescues and helping people with their everyday pet care! I have 4 rescue animals at home, 3 cats and 1 dog. I rescued my dog last year and he is a 90 lb pit bull! I take him to training every week, and we enjoy long walks near the ocean! I also work 3 healthcare jobs, so I know what it is like to be busy and want the best for your pets during the day. I hope to help relieve someone’s everyday stress by providing a walk or play time for their furry loved ones. Knowing my dog is well cared for during the day helps me to have a better day too! I can’t wait to meet many new dog friends along the way!!

About: Hi there! I’m Rajda. For the past 10 years, I’ve provided pet sitting services to friends and family so I’m used to handling feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable. Whether you need drop-ins, overnight stays, or someone to love your fur baby like their own, I’m here for it! I may be new to professional pet sitting, but I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and cows over the past few years! I’m happy to provide updates and photos, and I’m committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work remote, so I'll have plenty of time to play and watch your dogs or cats! I'm available for overnight pet sitting, dog walking, or check-ins throughout the week as needed. I’m active and love being outdoors, so pets who enjoy walks and fresh air will get plenty of it! I provide a calm, clean, and structured environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and preferred activities. I prioritize clear communication, regular updates, and photos so owners always feel confident their pet is in good hands!

“No doubt about it, I’d pick Kaitlyn to catsit again in a heartbeat. I am so beyond thankful for all of Kaitlyn’s patience, kindness, warmth, and compassion. She bonded with both our cats right off the bat. Our shy male cat warmed up to her very quickly. The anxious girl kitty took a bit longer to come around, but Kaitlyn made sure to go at the pace of the kitty in question. She was able to medicate our male cat, and made sure they both felt loved and cared for while we were away for an extended period of time. She communicated as soon as anything came up, and was very flexible! It was such a relief knowing our cats were in such thoughtful & capable hands for the holidays. My girlfriend and I could not recommend her more highly! 🩵”

About: I currently have a cat of my own -Ozzy- and have cared for him for the past three years, giving me a lot of experience with feeding, keeping routines, playtime, litter box care, and paying attention to changes in behavior or mood. I previously worked at a pet store where I helped care for shelter cats up for adoption. This gave me the opportunity to work with cats with different personalities and comfort levels and taught me the importance of patience and letting each animal come to you at their own pace. In anddition, I’ve also cared for my neighbors' pets over the years, including cats, dogs, birds and rabbits while they were away. I grew up with dogs and have experience walking and caring for them, as well as growing up with hamsters and birds. While I'm not comfortable handling birds directly, I'm happy to help with basic care such as feeding and cage cleaning. Working late? I’ve got you! I work a full time office job, so my most reliable weekday availability is early mornings for check-in visits and after 4 pm for dog walks and check-ins. Rain or snow? No problem! I’m happy to get outside for your dog’s walk as long as conditions are safe for both me and your pup! I’m also available Saturday/Sunday mornings and afternoons, with evenings varying from week to week. Feel free to reach out even if your schedule doesn’t perfectly match my usual availability as I’m happy to see if we can make it work. For weekday mornings or earlier afternoon visits, I may be able to accommodate requests with a few days notice depending on the location. I’m especially flexible around the Downers Grove area. My goal is to find a schedule that works for both of us and, most importantly, keeps your pet happy and well cared for. I know how important our pets are to us, and I want you to feel confident that yours is in caring, dependable hands while you're away. I'm a calm and attentive caregiver who takes the time to learn each pet's individual personality, routine, and needs. For check-in visits, I can provide fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and oral medication (pills only—no injections). I’ll also send you a photo and update during each visit so you know how your pet is doing. I’m mindful that I’m also a guest in your home. I clean up after myself, keep your pet’s food, toys, and supplies where they belong, and leave things as I found them. I believe clear communication is an important part of building trust, so I’ll follow your instructions carefully and let you know if I notice anything unusual with your pet. At this time, I offer check-in visits and dog walking rather than boarding.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets. I’m choosing to offer pet sitting as a source of income, but it’s also something I genuinely love doing. I travel fairly often, so having a dog of my own isn’t the right fit for me right now. Spending time with other people’s dogs brings me a lot of joy, and I’ll give yours the affection, attention, and care they deserve.❤️ My schedule is flexible, so I can make time for walks, playtime, and keeping your pet company. I do travel occasionally, but I keep my availability up to date and only accept bookings when I can give your pet the attention they need. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and any instructions you leave for feeding, walks, and care. In your home, I’ll respect your space, keep doors and gates secure, and send updates so you know how your pet is doing.

“Rebooked with Anna because she’s helped so well in the past (and now this time) covering time slots when our family can’t walk or feed our dogs. Very pleased with her communication and care for our pets!!”

About: I am a medical student looking to earn some extra cash over summer break! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and absolutely love them. Now, I have two dogs (a Shiba Inu and a Dachshund) and am a foster (currently taking care of a beagle from Ridglan farms). I’m looking forward to caring for your pup! Because I am in school, my schedule does change daily. But, I often have weekday afternoons off and am available all day on Saturday and Sunday. I will treat your dog exactly as I would my own—with the respect, care, love, and attention they deserve. I am happy to check in on your pup at your house or have them stay at mine. I live in a quiet neighborhood, and my dogs are friendly.

“So sweet, and so good to my pups, and even my cat (who didn't need to be taken care of, but Rebecca did anyway!!). Will for sure be rebooking with her! ???”

“My cat loved her and she was very responsive!”

About: Hello! My name is a Rochelle and I am a 30 year old high school social studies teacher! Although I’ve grown up with pets l, my pet sitting experience didn’t start until about 6 years ago, when I first dog sat for a family friend. I stayed in their home and cared for their sweet dog, Pedro and loved it so much! After that I started marketing myself to my families that I babysit for as also being able to care for their pets! Since then I have continued to dog sit for that family friend, for my part time jobs boss, and for a family that I usually babysit for...when they go out of town I watch their sweet dog coco! I am quite the animal lover and when I am trusted to care for someone’s pet I take care of them like they are my own! I know how I would want someone to take care of my pet so I put that energy plus more when I am caring for other people’s animals! They are apart of our families and it’s just as serious to me as when I babysit for families! I am quite flexible and able to retain information so whatever routine you have for your pet or information I need to know we can work together to ensure your pet has the best care while you are away! If you would like to know more about me please don’t hesitate to ask! I work full time as a teacher. So currently I am available after school, overnight, or on weekends! Occasionally I can be available in the morning depending on location and time! When I am pet sitting I have always stayed at the persons home. Your home I realize is a safe space and so I will of course be respectful of it, I have found that generally staying in people's homes has been the best scenario for me because everything of your dogs is right there and they get to stay in their own comfortable environment with their same schedule!

“Tamara dropped in to check on our dog while we were out of town for a week. She came to our home twice a day and sometimes 3 to check on our dog. She was amazing and we felt our pet was well cared for while we were gone. Tamara sent us pictures and videos at every visit. We could tell how much she cared for our dog. I highly recommend her and would not hesitate to hire her again.”

About: I am a life-long dog lover, and current Pomeranian owner (Pom-mom). I have a fenced in yard and live near a park with a cute walking path. Your pup will be comfortable in my home and can sleep wherever you'd like, whether that be in his/her crate, in a spare room of mine, or on my couch!I will care for your dog as if they were my own and make sure his or her stay with me is an enjoyable and anxiety-free as possible. I also have experience fostering and have fostered senior dogs with special needs. I work from home as does my husband so someone is always home with your pup. We can follow any schedule your dog is used to. We have no kids, so for those pups that don’t do too well with young ones, we’re a perfect option. Our Pom is dog loving and plays well with other dogs. I would like for them to meet prior if possible to ensure both dog’s get along well.

About: I currently work at an animal rescue in Ridgway, CO. Relocating to LaGrange, IL in late July! I have worked at the shelter since February of 2025 as a pet care specialist and have been the animal care lead since February of 2026. I’ve had experience handling and caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. As well as hamsters, bunnies and lizards! I have experience in medicine administration and promise to give your pet the best care! Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I make sure my dogs are fed right on schedule, have fresh water, get exercise and attention. I also ensure a clean, comfortable environment. Each week, I also set aside time for grooming, cleaning supplies and living areas, and monitoring their overall health to ensure they stay happy and healthy. I am someone who can keep a schedule consistent whether that means feeding, walks, giving medication, etc. I know basic obedience training and can give said training on walks and with puppies (potty training, basic commands, etc)
