“Morgan is absolutely wonderful! I have a mini bernedoodle and he gets anxious at boarding facilities so I wanted to try the pet sitter route. I was nervous leaving him but Morgan took amazing care of my guy while I was away. She sent photos and messages several times a day and my house was clean when I got home. She is kind, responsible and respectful. I will absolutely be reaching out to her again next time I go out of town. Thank you Morgan💖”
“Mario did a really nice job caring for my little cattle dog Lucy while house sitting for me! He was communicative, kind, caring, and followed the instructions I left for my dog and my house. I’ve moved into this area recently and have not been able to find a reliable pet sitter to stay in my home when I am away for work- until now :) I will definitely reach out to Mario again as my top choice. Thank you again!”
About: I had pets when I was growing up and always loved them. They are like kids and so fun to sleep with. I clean up after them and take them a bath as needed. I am working two part time one job is not granted hours like the but I work weekends doing all day or 8 hours shifts. I live in appartment that no pets allowed. I'll always make sure they are take care of like if my own and feed them 3 meals take them for walks and use the bathroom.
“Sami did a great job with Duke and Daisy. She made us feel very relaxed by updating us occasionally with texts and pictures. The dogs loved her and we definitely felt comfortable having her in our home. We will definitely book again.”
“Nicole did a perfect job of taking care of our baby (and home) while we traveled overseas. Knowing such a competent caring person is looking after your precious loved ones greatly improves the enjoyment of ones travel.”
About: I’ve got experience coming out the wazoo. I adopted my first puppy when I was 5 years old and have always had 3 cats at home growing up. Now on my own I run my house the same way with all the love crammed in. I work full time but I have a job that allows for some flexibility when needed and a family at home. But I love the chance to make some extra money after work caring for animals. I’m very good at following directions and have a natural ability to understand animals and what they need and want. Very good at learning new environments.
About: I make sure to do all the activities that your pup likes to do to keep them occupied. I feel leaving them. Home is better for their mental state than dropping them off somewhere where they don’t know where they are. Lots of loving and all of my attention goes to the babies while I’m there. I currently do not work and my schedule can be made mostly around the needs of the employer. My son is at school 8-3 but he would be willing to help with animals also. We have a fenced in yard but also go for walks. I have no problem with walking multiple times a day or whatever other needs the pet has.
About: I have had animals my entire life. I also have some training in the Veterinary field if there is ever a problem! I have a Shih Tzu named Oscar, and a big fluffy mix named Jaydee Mae. I also have 4 cats, Felix, Joey, Ellie and Ruby! I also have a few years of dog training under my belt, so I can even train your puppies in basic obedience and potty training! I am currently working full time, however if I have a clientele, the goal is to do this work full time, work for myself, and be able to work any day, anywhere! My dogs are let out about 5 times a day on a schedule, or whenever they ask me to go out. My dogs also get fed one cup twice daily. My cats are a bit different. If the food bowl is empty, I will refill it. It's usually just a cup. I also love to take my dogs to the dog park, or I will take them on walks. My Boxer and Shih Tzu own my bed, but Brutus sleeps in his crate most nights. Otherwise, they have total freedom. I will care for your pets in however way you need them taken care of. However, there will be some amount of spoiling! I love to play with other people's dogs and take them on walks. I love bathing, feeding, cuddling, and well, you name it!
“Kayla was great with Loka! It was really nice to know that our pup was relaxed and taken care of while we were away. Would definitely book with Kayla again.”
About: I was always the go to person for pet sitting in my family. Growing up, we always had at least one dog in the house. And I was fortunate enough to have had one for 16 years. Her name was Bear. She was the best family dog anyone could ask for and I miss her very much. She is the reason I love taking care of animals so much. Recently, I have become very fond of cats and live with 2 of them. They have stolen my heart and take care of them every day. I also have two reptiles which are my whole world. No matter what animal, I would love to take care of them. I’m the sitter for you! I am in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is very flexible right now. I am very open and honest so I’m very willing to for the schedule that’s best for you and your pet! I am not offering services in my home. As much as I would love to, I rent and cannot have a lot of animals staying with me. I’m sorry for the inconvenience!
“Rachel is great with my small breed 10 week old pup. She sends updates per visit and she is very responsive. I am a rather structured new puppy mom and Rachel does well with the instructions I leave and is flexible with the adjustments we’ve made. Would definitely recommend.”
“Amanda is absolutely amazing! She was caring for our dog while we were away when our dog got very sick. She did everything to make her comfortable and to feel better until we returned. Amanda is very knowledgeable and compassionate when it comes to caring for animals and we couldn’t have left our fur baby in better hands!”
“Erica loves animals and Luna loves people so I was comforted by several updates with pictures. Luna was happy. And Erica took her to the coffee shop for a pup cup! Luna knows her way around the drive thru circuit for milk bones and ice cream 😉 But the real drama was calling her at the last minute and she was able to take care of Luna during a holiday. Another sitter on Rover was booked but recommended Erica and you know the rest of the story. Luna was happy when I came home ❤️ Thanks again Erica!”

About: I’ve had all types of animals from turtles to deaf dogs and all kinds of cats ! I love them and I look forward to hosting / caring for others fur babies like my own 😊 I hate to leave my babies unattended so I understand needing someone trustworthy to care for them . I currently have a full time CNA job. I work nights and every other weekend so I’m home every day until 6 pm . And there is always someone home . I do have 2 animals of my own 1 cat and a deaf dog . There are various toys / beds and areas for the animals but it all depends on the animals needs and owners preference
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 10 years old. From a Great Dane to Yorkie puppies to German shepards, you name it! I live in a very safe community and I know my neighbors well and I’ve been asked to watch dogs or take them on walks to help burn their energy. I’m currently a freshman in university. I go to Olivet which is located in Bourbannais IL. If you happen to be around that area or Bradley/Manteno I am available Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursday, and Fridays after 3 pm. My hometown is Shorewood IL which is also near Plainfield/Joliet area so if you’re located there I’ll be available on weekends + breaks. Summer break is also near so this will create more flexibility. :) I have a big fenced yard with three loving dogs. We feed them twice a day, take them outside every 1-2 hours, and if the weather is nice then we take them on walks. :) Unfortunately, I’m not going to be accepting dog drop offs at my house but if your interested for dog sitting I can take care of your pup in your home or take them on nice long walks.
About: I was raised as a dog lover. We always had dogs in the house growing up and often took in stays to care for them. I am 100% against animal cruelty. I am a stay at home mom with much free time so my hours are flexible to care for you and the needs of your pup. I have a large front and backyard to roam in. My house dogs often go out to play or sun bath, however there is no fence.
About: Hi my name is Keyaisa! I'm your friendly neighborhood dog sitter :) I’m absolutely passionate about dogs and all things furry. I’m 22 now & been dog sitting for about 4 years. I have my own two dogs I take care of as well. & with my open availability, it allows me be there for you & your pets whenever needed. Please let me know how I can help. I’m currently working part time. No specific schedule right now. Please let me know how I can help out, thanks. I can commute as well I do not have a fenced in yard yet. We let our dogs out on chains in the yard. It’s safe, we never had any problems.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats, all of my life. I was a police officer and Sheriff for 32 years. I’ve dealt with most all animals. I love them all!! I’m currently a retired sheriff. I work part time for American Airlines about 20 hours per week in Bloomington, and working on a license to sell real estate as a part-time job in Livingston County. And I have been a police officer, since I was 18 years old. I am very trustworthy and honest. I’ve grown up around many types of animals and feel comfortable around them.
About: I have had pets since I was a kid, and all through my life I have had some sort of animal. Big or small, I have tons of experience with all kinds. Now, I have 14 fur/feather/scale babies of my own and I am going to IVCC to getting my associates in science and majoring in wildlife bio. I am out of school for the summer and looking for anything really. Full time or part time. And any time of the night or day is fine with me. I have 14 pets, no dogs or cats, but I did have plenty of them growing up. Right now we have 6 birds, three different kinds, ((3 of them are house ducks)) a snake and the rest are smaller animals rabbit, piggy's, ferret etc. The rabbit is free roam, the birds and other animals all have their own free roam/fly time. Our house is on a set schedule as soon as the sun peeks through, lol, the ducks let us know, it's time to get the day started. Due to us having this many kiddos, we do plan long days ahead of time so everything is adjusted properly so everyone is taken care of. I am no stranger to getting dirty or dealing with any type of mess. Depending on the weather, we are outside as much as possible with a number of them and always trying to find new ways to keep their little minds engaged.

Michael M.
“I have known Michael since he was in 2nd grade, living in my townhouse complex. Over the years I have seen his kind heart as he relates to animals, the elderly, and the sick. Although he has never cared for our dogs or current cat, he has always been gentle with them when visiting in the home. He knows to approach each one slowly and let the animal make the first contact. Michael is honest and I believe he would be a good caregiver for both pets and home”

Bryce W.
“I am delighted to write this testimonial for Bryce, who is an exceptional and responsible pet owner. I have had the pleasure of knowing Bryce for several years, and during this time, I have witnessed their unwavering dedication and love for their furry companions. Bryce’s commitment to the well-being of their animals is truly commendable. They prioritize the health, happiness and safety of their animals above all else. What sets Bryce apart is his genuine affection and love for animals. It’s evident in the way they interact with their pets with patience, kindness, and understanding. I wholeheartedly recommend Bryce as a pet sitter to anyone looking for a compassionate and responsible caregiver for their animals. Their dedication, love and sense of responsibility make them an exemplary pet sitter, and any pet would be lucky to have them.”
Faith M.
“Faith watched our dog R2 for approximately 1 week. She took the time to become acclimated with his surroundings before we left. She also spent time getting him to trust her before we left. This was a huge relief as R2 does not warm up to people very easily. She spent much time throwing a ball(which is R2s favorite activity) but also took him for walks. She let me know (as scheduled with her in advance) just how he was doing. I would recommend Faith to care for your pet as i will be using her in the future also.”
Kaylynn B.
“Kaylynn has been a lover of animals from the time she was old enough to walk! She takes excellent care of her pets and considers them part of her family. Kaylynn has taken care of our pets (cat & dog) on a number of occasions and has done an outstanding job! Our furbabies love her and know she is there to love on them for a time. Our dog is 14 years old and takes medication every morning, Kaylynn had no qualms about giving the medication and did so with care and compassion. I highly recommend Kaylynn to be a "furbaby sitter" as she puts our pets first and treats them with kindness!”

“Kayla was great with Loka! It was really nice to know that our pup was relaxed and taken care of while we were away. Would definitely book with Kayla again.”
Kelsey B.
“I cannot recommend Kelsie enough as a pet sitter! I recently had her watch my 3-year-old Alaskan Malamute, Balto, and she was absolutely fantastic. Kelsie is incredibly compassionate and caring, and she has a wonderful way with large dogs. Balto can be a bit energetic at times, but Kelsie was able to handle him with ease. She took him on plenty of walks and playtime, and she always made sure he was well-fed and comfortable. I never had to worry about Balto while he was in Kelsie's care. She kept me updated with regular texts and photos, and she was always available to answer any questions I had. I came home to a happy, healthy, and exhausted Balto from all the fun he had with Kelsie. I am so grateful to Kelsie for giving Balto such loving care, and I will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
