About: I’ve had dogs my entire life of many breeds and sizes. I train my own dog on a daily basis with obedience training. He knows how to do a handful of tricks.

I also have 4 exotic pets that I care for on a daily basis. I will make sure to respect my clients wishes about their animals needs and wants when it comes to their animals care in their home. As well as any special requests they may have.
About: I treat every pet like they are part of my own family. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each animal’s routine, personality, and comfort level. I also have experience caring for geriatric pets and animals that need medication, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and close attention to detail. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, basic reinforcement of good habits, or extra care, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I am already used to being responsible, organized, and consistent with my time. I make sure pets receive dependable care, attention, walks, feeding, medication if needed, and companionship without feeling rushed. I understand that animals do best with routine, so I work hard to follow each owner’s instructions and keep their pet’s schedule as normal and comfortable as possible. I focus on keeping their routine as normal, safe, and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medication, potty breaks, crate use, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure pets have a clean, calm environment, fresh water, regular attention, and plenty of patience. I also pay close attention to behavior, energy level, appetite, and comfort so I can quickly notice if something seems off. My goal is to give each pet dependable care while giving the owner peace of mind.

About: I've taken care of many animals in my past. I started around 13. I started with three huskys and one toy poddle so I am good with large and small breeds. I am currently working at a Mother's morning out daycare. I would love to help out with anyone who needs dog,cat, or any animal services!

About: Hello! My name is Giovanna, and I’d love to share a little about myself. Growing up, I was never allowed to have pets (other than a goldfish). My dad would take me to the pet store, and I would beg for even a hamster, but he never budged. So naturally, whenever I visited friends or went to gatherings, I was always the one playing with and loving on the pets. I jumped at every opportunity to help care for my friends’ and family’s animals. When I finally moved out on my own, I adopted my very first pet, my cat, Winnie, within 10 days. Not long after, I decided Winnie needed a friend, so I adopted my second cat, Apache. Later, when I moved in with my now husband, I finally convinced him to get a dog, something I had wanted my entire life. After lots of research, I chose a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and that’s how we welcomed Emmett into our family. One of my favorite hobbies is training Emmett, working on obedience, tricks, and even some agility. I love the moment when something finally “clicks” for him (it’s like finally understanding a math problem!). Growing up, people would always say their pets were family, and I didn’t fully understand that until I had my own. Now, I don’t even see them as pets, they are my children. Because of that, I deeply understand the trust and responsibility that comes with caring for someone else’s animals. I will always treat your pets like my own, with love, patience, and attention. I also know how important updates are, so you can expect plenty of photos and check-ins while you’re away (I already have way too many pictures of my own pets!). I’m a military spouse with base access, and I offer in-home pet sitting, dog walking, and cat care. I’d also be happy to incorporate some light training or tricks if you’re interested! In my free time, I’m currently training for the Chicago Marathon, so if your dog loves to run or needs extra exercise, I can definitely keep up! I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for dog walking, drop-ins, and in-home pet sitting on both weekdays and weekends and last minute requests. I’m also happy to accommodate early mornings, evenings, or more active dogs who need extra exercise. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to be proactive, attentive, and cautious in every situation. I stay highly aware of my surroundings, follow routines closely, and take extra care to prevent any risks. Clear communication is just as important to me. I provide regular updates, photos, and quick responses so you always feel informed and at ease while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Wicksburg. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
