House Sitting Winthrop Harbor

“This was the first time using Rover. I could not be more pleased with the individual we picked when we chose Josh!!! He was readily available. He kept in great communication with us throughout the entire process from booking to his departure after watching our pups. He cleaned up and left house clean and tidy. Even kept the pups safe during a tornado warning. Cannot wait to book again with Josh!”

About: I’ve had pets most of my life… I’ve had dogs, cats, bunnies and guinea pigs. I’ve house sat which included farm animals. I am patient and willing to give all my love to any animal even if they aren’t mine. I am a student so I would come between classes, before classes, and after to take care of any pets. I do not have a full time job. I want to work with whatever you have at your house. I will make sure that all of your rules are followed, and that your fur babies are well taken getting care of.

“Trina is such a lifesaver. We had a dog sitter lined up who had to bail on us about 12 hrs before we were supposed to leave on our first ever Disney vacation. She responded to my message immediately, was available on short notice and honestly spoiled the heck out of my dog! My dog is a senior citizen and takes 2-4 meds a day. She made sure he got all his meds, followed an intricate feeding schedule, and loved him as her own. She checked in with me daily to assure us he was doing well. She also helped feed our fish and turtle. What a lifesaver! We returned to happy animals and a very clean house. We will definitely be using Trina for all our vacations from here on out!”

“Michelle was great with our 2 dogs. One dog is very shy, and nervous. Michelle gave her the space & time, to be comfortable with her. She took great care of the dogs, as well as, our home. She was great at communicating, sending updates, and pictures. We'll definitely be using her again.”

“Elizabeth did a great job watching my dogs while I was away. She handled two pretty demanding dogs with ease and communicated proactively throughout to ensure all my concerns were addressed. I can tell my dogs had a great time with her and would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Tanya was the best. She stayed at our house watched our pets and house for a week. We have a dog with severe mobility issues, an 18 year old cat and 2 younger cats — all with unique needs and 2 that require meds. She was so wonderful with our fur family and home. HIGHLY recommend her services to anyone who cares about their pets being well taken care of and loved. She also dealt with packages and cleaning people and day to day household responsibilities with ease. She sent us pictures and kept us updated daily. Thank you!!!”

“Amanda was great. She followed instructions and sent lots of pictures. She communicated well. Dogs were treated with care and kindness. Great sitter”

About: Always had 4+ animals in my household (fish as well!) and always enjoyed taking care of them and going on walks/runs and playing with them. I’m pretty flexible when it comes to scheduling and I’m happy to work around your needs and your pet’s routine. Whether you need someone for a quick drop in, a few days, or even a longer-term stay, I’ll be happy to help! I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your pets, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own while you’re away. 🐶🐾 I’ll do my best to make sure your pets are well taken care of and comfortable in your home. Whether that means playing with them, taking them for walks, feeding them, or even giving them a bath. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d want for my own.

“Leah did a great job watching Harley (soft coated wheaten terrier) while we went on a short 4 day trip. Kept us up to date on how he was doing and made sure he had his walks and breaks.”

About: My family used to own 7 dogs when I was a preteen! 6 were chihuahuas and one was a pit bull, so I feel comfortable with any dog size. I would feed, walk, wash, and play with them. Now, I help my friends with their dogs whenever it’s needed. I know when they need space and when they want to be playful. I have a lots of energy, so I can ply with your pup for a long time! I’m a full-time student and work part-time for two days a week, but it only takes up in the morning. On any day of the week, I am available at any time after 4pm, and before 11am except on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. I’m always observing, partially because of admiration, but also watching out for any signs of discomfort. I can recognize when they need space, are uncomfortable, anxious, or threatened. I’m cautious when it comes to interactions while walking and will walk across the other side of the street from another dog for precaution.

“We never used a dog sitter before in our home. Isabella was amazing and took such great care of our dogs. Highly recommend her and we will use her all the time now.”

About: I’ve worked hands-on with animals for over 12 years through shelters, rescue organizations, fostering, and TNR work. I’ve cared for everything from neonatal kittens to senior and special-needs animals, including medication administration and post-op recovery care. I’m calm, reliable, and experienced with animals that may be nervous, shy, energetic, or need extra patience. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. With my current work schedule, I’m available early mornings (5–6 AM) before work, again around noon, and throughout the evening. I make pets a top priority and can also provide late-evening check-ins to help pets settle in comfortably for the night. Based on your pet’s normal routine and comfort level, I can accommodate leash walks, supervised backyard time, or longer walks and exercise as needed.

About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, guinea pigs, chinchillas throughout several years. I have a passion for care taking all kinds of animals from all ages. I am very patient and have experience with things such as administering medications. I also am very attentive to details and flexible with any kinds of needs your pet may have! I recently completed graduate school as a PA and recently moved to the Kenosha area. I currently have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am generally free and available most days of the week and I can be flexible! I live in a safe friendly neighborhood with plenty of areas to walk dogs and play outside. I have no pets at home currently, I do have a small yard.

About: Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I am retired so have plenty of time to play with and walk your fur babies as much as needed. I can play with your dog in our fenced in yard or walk them on the Bike Trail, which is just a block away from our home. I’ll tailor my care to each dog’s individual personality and routine. I know how important consistency is, so I’ll follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise needs, and any special requests. I like to text or email regular photo updates and messages so you can relax knowing they’re having a great time, communication is just as important as great pet care.

About: I've been dog-sitting my friends' & neighbors' dogs for years now. Everything from Shih Tzus to Labs to Collies and Pit Bulls, I do well with all types of dogs! I love taking dogs for walks and playing fetch! (Also, I love cats! (I'm a Cat Mom of 4)). I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet(s)! My weekly availability varies, but I keep my calendar up-to-date. I respond promptly to requests, so feel free to reach out and ask! I am always respectful of my clients' homes & make sure I take the dogs out frequently to use the bathroom & for walks/play, that litter boxes are cleaned, & that there is always fresh water/food given.

“This was the first time I've used Rover and found Sara. Communication was great from the get-go. As this was the first time I let someone else watch Iris (8 months old), rightfully so to be nervous and hesitant. Sara was very understanding and attentive as I went through what Iris needed, how her demeanor is, and all of the in-between. You could tell that Sara genuinely cares and enjoys caring for pets as a side gig. Sara was fantastic and we'll definitely book again.”

“Ethany did a great job! She was very attentive to our pets and kept me informed. Thank you!!”

About: My whole life I've grown up with dogs and other animals. I truly care about pets and their well being. I'm pursuing a degree in animal behavior and welfare. I also have watched family pets growing up. I'm currently without a job so I'm available to watch your animal(s) full-time, part-time, or over night if need be. I do live an apartment, but I have plenty of walking space outside, cat toys and trees for anyone with cats. I'm willing to work on a schedule if you need strict walking times or for feeding. I'm willing to train for free using reward-based training techniques and I'm willing to bathe for free if you'd like.
