About: I’m naturally very active, so if your dog loves long walks and plenty of playtime, they’ll have a great workout buddy with me. At the same time, I’m super patient and adaptable to whatever your pet needs. I’ve worked with all kinds of animals with different traits and can definitely meet your needs! Because I work a part-time job with a flexible schedule, pet care easily fits right into my daily routine. I can structure my shifts around your dog's specific needs, I have plenty of open windows to make your pet a top priority throughout the week. Whether I’m hosting your dog or staying at your place, my goal is to keep their routine exactly how they like it. For active pups, that means plenty of long walks and fresh air to burn off energy, while puppies get consistent potty breaks and training support. If you have a senior dog, I focus on a quiet, stress-free environment and precise feeding schedules. I adapt completely to your pet's needs.
“Deb and Doug were amazing with our 2 dogs over a 3-night stay. Very responsive and the dogs seemed super well taken care of. Duncan seemed sad to leave Deb, which is always a good sign! We will definitely book with them again.”
“Joerg and Lake were great! Communicated, and made me feel very at ease leaving my dog with them. My dog also got along great with their dog! Will for sure be using them again in the future!”
“Undram did an amazing job caring for Gizmo. He came home to us so happy and calm. I can tell he was well loved and understood. We were so thrilled after a grueling flight to come home to such a happy pup!”
“Wonderful experience! Rima sent pictures everyday and took very good care of Bella! She was responsive and really cares for the dogs that are in her care! Would definitely send Bella to her again!”
“Sophie was accommodating and helpful, great communication and made our pups feel right at home. She didn't even flinch when one of them came right in and went #2 under her table! She sent a few pictures and overall was a great dogsitter. Thank you!”
“Nicole is so caring and communicative. I needed to find coverage for my pet while I was going on vacation. Nicole was very accommodating and kind to my dog Fia. She sent pictures and updates frequently, and Fia had a blast at her place.”
“Julia was amazing! Our pup had so much fun. She can be sensitive and Julia was great with understanding her dietary needs, medication, and need to balance activity with rest. We are so excited to have found Julia and Vali can’t wait to go back!”
“Hi , Kichu had a great time with Mario. He texted me and also replied my text in a timely manner so I could solve the problem easily . I was able to enjoy my trip peacefully. He sent me Kichu’s pictures and videos.I highly consider Mario next time. Thank you for your service.”
“Obi seemed to really enjoy his stay with Brian! Obi is sensitive, so he will get sick from separation anxiety after I pick him up from a stay or he will be very clingy. He’s been completely normal since I’ve picked him up and he is doing perfectly fine! Brian provided me updates daily that eased my own separation anxiety. Thank you, Brian!”
“We were very happy with our dog's care from Karin and family! They were considerate and flexible, sent us just enough information while we were away, and took very good care of our pup!”
“Debbie took perfect care of my pup while I was gone for a week! She took her on walks, to the beach, and sent me pictures and videos to keep me updated! I would definitely recommend and book her again in the future.”
“Jessica is fantastic! She took our pup to the park and on her errands which made him very happy. Very communicative too the entire time with photos and videos. And she takes excellent photos to boot!”
“Nic took such good care of Bailey! Nic was so responsive, sent so many pictures, and was so sweet! Bailey got so much love and went on so many walks! I would recommend Nic to anyone and everyone!”
“Clarissa is absolutely amazing! She took amazing care of my pup and I’m looking forward to having her watch him again. She sent lots of pictures, communicated often, and just has amazing energy.”
“We had set up a meet & greet with Lori, Will & Winnie (their female Dachshund) prior to boarding. They were absolutely delightful & we were immediately comfortable with the whole family. Their home is one level, has just one small step to the family room & they have a fully fenced in yard. They were excellent hosts / playmates for our Greta. Lori provided multiple updates & photos daily via text. We will most definitely use them again.”
About: I’ve always loved all kinds of animals! I’ve had a dog of my own, Lucy, for 13 years during my childhood. I’ve taken care of dogs for family members that included taking them on walks, feeding them, and enrichment. Last year, I volunteered at my local animal shelter and gained more experience on animal welfare. I am kind, patient, and very attentive. I’m currently working part-time remote and I’m flexible for pet care! I do prefer early in the weekdays, or I am also available on an early/afternoon Saturday. I have no pets at my house. Although, when I would be in charge of your pet I will be very responsible. I have plenty of experience walking dogs in the past. I will be certain that their collar/harness is on correctly and have them on a leash at all times outside. Volunteering at the shelter required all of us to leash the dog properly before exiting the building. Some of the dogs would be very excited, distracted, or hyper. I am confident in my experience and abilities to create a safe environment and give them the best care!
Winnetka pet parents share their Rover experiences
I always worry when leaving my fur baby due to some bad prior experiences. Ella and Sydney were very kind, knowledgeable, accommodating, responsible, and caring. They communicated with me throughout the visit. Athena had such a great time that she didn’t want to leave. If you are on the fence on whether to book with Ella or not do not hesitate before some other lucky family reserves them. Thank you again!!!
We had the absolute best experience with Mia’s sitter. She was simply amazing, sending us regular pictures and updates, giving Mia a bath, making sure she was well fed, and treating her with so much care and attention. Mia clearly loved her home and her four-day mommy, and we felt completely at ease the entire time.
Katelyn was so warm and responsive throughout the entire boarding process. She has a clear affinity and appreciation for cats, which is so important to us in a sitter. We felt completely confident that our cats were in good, loving hands, and were thrilled to see the daily updates and photos she shared from their stay. 100% would recommend.
We used to leave our dog at a large dog boarding place when traveling, and she would be grouped with so many different dogs that I can tell she was traumatized and often took days to be back to her normal carefree self (and she would have dog drooling all over her). This time under Nancyanne’s care our dog was able to stick to a routine similar to at home, and I can tell she was quite comfortable and after 9 days it was seamless that her demeanor was like she never left home. We would happily recommend Nancyanne to anyone who needs help.
