“This is the second time Kim has taken care of Mae. As always Mae had a great time and was very well taken care of. Kim was a big help as I had a last minute schedule change and she was able to take Mae and provide a loving home for her so she did not have to stay home alone for 16 hours. Will use Kim again for sure.”

“Loved her right away. She has a darling house and lovely kids who seemed to adore Nicky. She easily gained my confidence with her thoughtful questions. Nicky seemed right at home, too. Thank so much.”

“Thank you Dee for wonderful care you provided to Nikita while we were gone. I felt confident and calm that you would take great care of her! I would love to keep in touch and use your services in the future. I also highly recommend your services to others, especially to highly worrisome and demanding pet owners:)))”

“This was our first visit with Lucy and we were very happy with the care our dog received. She has a kind and gentle demeanor that makes our dog feel at home. Her partially fenced yard offers the perfect area for our pup to run off excess energy. We will definitely use Lucy’s services again.”

About: Hi! I'm a proud dog mom of 14 years and currently share my home with our sweet senior pug, Pucca. My family and I have lots of time and love to give! We have two kind, animal-loving kids who enjoy helping out and making our furry guests feel right at home. We know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet—especially if they need a little extra attention. I'm very comfortable administering medications and caring for dogs with special needs. Our home is calm, clean, and full of gentle affection, making it a perfect place for your pup to feel safe and cared for while you're away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just a cozy nap spot, your pet will be treated like part of the family here. We can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Let us know how we can help—we’re here to provide peace of mind and excellent care. My husband and I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Whether it's boarding, daycare, walks, or drop-in visits, we’re able to give your pet consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. Our daily routine includes morning and evening walks, regular potty breaks, playtime, and lots of snuggles. We’re also available for medication schedules or special routines your pet may need. With both of us around—and two gentle, animal-loving kids—your pet will always have someone nearby to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. At home, we offer a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to relax, play, and feel part of the family. Our own dog is very mellow and used to being around other pets, and our two children have been raised to treat animals with kindness and respect. I closely supervise all interactions and follow any routines or special care instructions you provide. I’m experienced with giving medications and caring for senior or special-needs dogs, and I always make sure pets have a quiet place to rest when they need it. If I’m in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I give my own. I know how important consistency is, so I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine and environment to help them feel secure and happy while you’re away. Building trust with you—and your pet—is at the heart of what I do. I’m committed to providing a safe, loving, and dependable experience every time.

“Great sitter! Yessenia was very communicative, very friendly and accommodating. Large fenced yard is perfect for a day of fun with all the dogs!”

About: I got a puppy when I was 18 and she’s 13 now! I have another dog and 2 cats we love just as much as our human babies! I work from home so I am home all day to be able to love on your babies and give them any care they may need while you are away! I have a fully fenced in backyard with 2 playful dogs! Pets are allowed wherever humans are allowed in our house! This is their home, too.

“We were visiting Dubuque and needed care for our dog while we did a few non dog friendly things. We found Diamond! She was quick to respond and took wonderful care of our dog. Diamond was active with Golde by taking her on several walks. She kept in contact with us the entire time. Highly recommend her and will definitely use her again when in the area.”

About: Ask me how to get $20 off your first Rover booking with me! Hola- Hablo Español, también! Hello there! I am a dog cat and chicken mama myself and love to be around all animals. I have owned and babysat chickens, cats, and dogs since i was little. I am very patient and loving towards animals and would love to care for your fur baby as per your requests while you are away. I work at home full time so I am up early and will spend full days with your pet. Let me know of any special requests and I will be happy to fulfill them! Located in Gurnee IL. I work from home full time and have a highly social and playful dog. During the day your boarded babies will play with Bentley (my dog) and nap on the bed in my office to jazz and classical music. During my break I usually walk my dog midday or late afternoon. If your dog or cat is not boarded, after 11A I am free to pop over and check on your fur babies and spend some time with them. My dog and cats safety at home are a high priority, I keep my home clean and free of anything they might chew or choke on. As well as all chemicals and other hazards showed away in cabinets they are unable to open. For my anxious dog I keep classical music on throughout the house to create a peaceful environment. Your pooch will feel at ease in my home and will always be watched and cared for. I make sure to send plenty of pictures and videos to update you on their mood and how their day is going. Nothing better than getting reassurance that your fur baby is in the best hands!! In your home I will watch them the entire time while they are playing and eating to make sure they are okay and haven’t gotten into any trouble.

About: Welcome to my page! I’m a recent graduate of the sciences that holds a deep passion for animals. When I’m not working my full time job during the week, I love to pass my extra time with as many adorable pets as possible. I currently own a husky, two cats, and a rabbit, but I’ve had experience with many other animals as well, and am always up for the challenge of learning more about animal care. I know leaving pets behind with a stranger can be scary, but I promise I’ll do my best to provide the same level of love and care that they would normally receive. I currently work full time, so pet care is more of a hobby at this point than anything else. For that reason I’m mainly available on weekends with the occasional holiday as well. Just reach out to see if your needs can be met with my schedule. I currently have a small portion of my yard that is fenced in, so dogs can be let out without leash when possible. I also have dog crates to crate pets when necessary to keep them out of trouble during the day, but I will only do that if necessary and if the pet is crate trained. Otherwise I make sure to keep pets in an area where they can’t access anything that would harm them. When in other’s houses, I follow their guidelines to keep pets as safe as possible.

About: Hi! While your gone away you can be sure your dog will get the love and care of a full family, we are up at 7am for a health breakfast and by 9 we’re out to hike a 1.5 mile trail full of wild life and beautiful views for your pup to see and experience. By 11 we’re back home for a bit of rest before lunch. Then comes nap time! The long walk usually tires the doggies out. After a few hrs they are up again for more playtime, usually hands on with the family, games like tug and fetch. This leads us to dinner around 6 and a bit more attention before our 8:30 bed time. Every day your pup is with us is an adventure they will be sure to enjoy just as much as the vacation your taking! My wife works from home and I walk dogs and manage the boarding 24/7. It’s always been a dream job if mine to be able to spend all day taking care of dogs and now I’m finally living that dream! I have a huge fenced in yard but the dogs will only be out there to use the bathroom. Maybe later in the day for some fetch but mostly the dogs will be inside with us. Also our morning walk is about 1-2 hrs long and that take a lot out of the dogs leaving them easy to manage most of the rest of the day.

“Heidi is so kind and really helped us out when we needed a sitter during our daughter’s graduation party. Our dog can be a bit anxious and also is a runner when off leash, but she was up for the challenge, and we couldn’t be more thankful for her help. Her two dogs are adorable and we’re super friendly towards our dog. I without a doubt will be using her again!”

“Pups had a great time with Charity and came back exhausted after playing all day!”

About: I am flexible in my schedule (I just am not sure if I filled out the app right so feel free to ask if you need something super specific). I’ve homed and cared for many animals in my life. I was always finding stray cats and dogs (even a ferret once) and taking them in as a kid, though it sometimes drove my parents crazy they grew to love them. Recently we fostered two puppies that went to good homes. I have two small dogs myself and I have a few friends that frequently ask and trust me to care for their pets when needed. I currently work part time from home, which gives me a lot of freedom and time to spend with pets and get outside to play when they need. I am very flexible in my schedule and routine so if you need something specific let me know and we can figure something out. I have a small gentle toddler and a friendly dog to keep your pet company, or I have ample space to keep them separate as needed. I treat other pets the same way I treat my own, as if they were my child. I’m very loving and protective. I understand how hard it can be leaving your fur baby with someone else. I am willing to meet before hand for coffee or at the dog park etc. to see if we are a good fit for long term care.

About: I have always had pets in my life and loved and cared for everything from small rodents up to horses and cows. I have handled medical treatments and first aid on many animals and have worked closely with my vet often acting as an assistant for medical calls. I am comfortable with all ages of animals and can provide separate space in my home if needed. I am insured. I am a stay at home mom and home most of the time to care for my family and pets. Your pets are a priority and become part of our family while they are here! I am also willing to accommodate caged pets, (mice, rats, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes, bearded dragons, etc.) We have a VERY large fenced in yard and our dog Monroe loves everyone, however, not all dogs love his intense energy. We have crates available when needed. I have always been the trusted dog sitter for my friends and family when they are vacationing. I look forward to making your pet feel at home with us and giving them tons of love and cuddles. I am a full time pet sitter/care giver. Pets with me get lots of love, play and cuddles and are treated like members of the family while they are with us. MOST of the time I am not away from the home for more than 2 hours at a time. In order to protect all of my clients and their pets, I require all pets in my care to be up to date on vaccines and flea preventative. Please make sure they are up to date. Any dog over 9 months of age must be spayed or neutered. I am insured. I have crates available, gates to keep dogs separated as needed and a large fenced in yard.
