House Sitting in Arcola

“Melinda was awesome and super communicative. An amazing sitter for our dog!!”

Kassandra G.

“Very communicative and took great care of my boys!”

Nicole A.

“Natalie was excellent with my dog! I left for a week vacation and she house sat for him. She came over before I left to meet him and immediately had my shy dog excited to play fetch with her. She kept me updated throughout the week and I came home to a healthy/happy dog! Would definitely recommend!”

Ramzy N.

“Elena was wonderful with all 3 and I didn’t worry a bit the whole time we were gone. Such a weight off my shoulders knowing they were cared for so well”

Kerry D.

“Samantha was such a great house sitter!! She stayed with my two beagles and geriatric cat for a full week. She successfully managed their shenanigans and was very communicative the whole time, sending me pictures and updates. She also took great care of the house. I would definitely recommend her and use her again!!”

Markie B.

“Tonie is always amazing but she went above and beyond this time, immediately assuring us she would do extra drop-in visits when our flight home was delayed (on Christmas Eve no less!). Tonie is the best!”

Adam C.

“Tracy did a fantastic job caring for our dog Sawyer while we were out of town. I highly recommend his services! He is very trustworthy. He stayed in our home, brought in the mail, played with the dog every night, and even fed the cat and fish and watered the plants! He was very conscientious about our home and left everything very neat and clean. Using Rover.Com and Tracy's services was ultimately the best decision for the dog and removed the stress caused by kenneling in another location. Thank you Tracy!”

Martha M.

“Olivia was great watching our old girl. Lucy was immediately comfortable around Olivia’s dogs (whom were also sweet to our 4 yr old son) and I knew she was in great hands while we were away. We will be sure to reach out in the future again for her services.”

About: I stand out from other sitters because I bring a rare combination of veterinary training, hands‑on clinical experience, and a lifetime of caring for animals of all sizes. I’m currently a veterinary nursing student at Marian University Plymouth, graduating in August 2026, which means I approach every pet with a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. Alongside my education, I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant in both large and small animal medicine, including at Crossroads Food Animals Veterinary Service, LLC and during my externship at the Emergency Veterinary Care Center in Summer 2025. These roles have given me extensive experience with senior pets, animals with medical needs, medication administration, safe animals handling and recognizing early signs of illness or stress — skills that most sitters don’t have. Beyond my clinical background, animals have been a central part of my life from the very beginning. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to shy or anxious pets. I also have a fountain in farm work which created a strong sense of responsibility and dedication. Your pets aren’t just watched — they’re cared for by someone who truly understands them. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I’m currently completing my externships for my veterinary nursing program, which gives me a structured but flexible schedule. I work Monday through Thursday, with an hour break at 1 PM, so depending on your location I can stop by for mid‑day potty breaks during the week. I’m also able to provide a consistent, work‑style schedule, meaning I can visit in the mornings before work and be available again in the evenings for feeding, walks, or check‑ins. My weekends are even more open, allowing plenty of time for longer visits or extended care. Because of my profession and lifestyle, pet sitting fits seamlessly into my routine, and I make sure each pet gets reliable, attentive care throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment that keeps pets comfortable. I like too follow the pet’s normal routines as closely as possible — from feeding and medication schedules to preferred walking routes and bedtime habits — because familiar patterns help reduce stress. I treat every home with the same respect I’d want for my own. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, enrichment, and reassurance so they feel relaxed even when their family is away. My goal is to provide care that feels seamless, trustworthy, and grounded in both compassion and professional experience.

“Grace was our absolute favorite (and our dog’s too). She updated us daily while we were away and sent so many photos, which we loved. She was so good with him and will absolutely have her back!”

Kelsey P.

“Our animals were happy and healthy when we got home! House looked great, and we didn't worry the whole weekend. Dominick is great, and we'll definitely book him again!”

Mary-Ann I.

“As usual, Jordan was great with our pups. He graciously handled one of our dogs having an upset tummy and he was respectful of our home. Thank you Jordan! We appreciate you so much!”

About: Hi, I’m Adriana — a yoga and meditation teacher with a calm, grounded presence that dogs seem to love. While I don’t have a dog of my own, I’ve long been the go-to dog sitter and walker for friends, family, and roommates. Whether it's weekends away, work days, or longer travel, I’ve reliably cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I bring patience, mindfulness, and a deep respect for your dog’s energy and needs. I’m confident with walks, feeding routines, cuddle& downtime, and play sessions tailored to your pup. I’m also experienced giving oral and topical medications, though I prefer not to take on complex medical care or injections. My goal is to make sure your doggo feels comfortable, loved, and at ease while you’re away—so you can feel the same. I work part-time and have the flexibility to create my own schedule, which allows me to offer care during weekdays, weekends, and a variety of time windows. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet is well cared for while you're away. I provide care in your pet’s home and neighborhood, where they feel most safe and at ease. I aim to keep their routine familiar and comforting—whether that means visiting their favorite parks, taking their usual walking routes, or keeping feeding and playtime consistent. I treat your home with respect, your pet with genuine care, and I’m always reliable and communicative to ensure you feel confident in the care your pet is receiving.

“She was super communicative and left my place better than she found it! She really knows how to handle the dogs.”

“Lindsey did a wonderful job taking care of our special needs pup. I was looking for someone to care for him in my home and for someone to stay for the day and she hit it off with him right away, sent texts and videos throughout the day and made me very comfortable living him. Would highly recommend.”

Robin B.

About: I am a full time Mom with two children and two fur babies of my own. I would love to help provide care for your beloved furry family member while you are away! I am available for drop in visits, in home sitting and dog walking. I have had furry family members my entire life and currently have two beagle mix dogs who are 14 years young. I walk them twice a day and often take them to the park, store or nearest watering hole. My experience with dogs has allowed me to learn dog behavior and how to both lead and be fast friends with your pup. I have experience with giving medications, high anxiety dogs, and can follow any instructions. Peace of mind while I care for your pup is of utmost importance to me. I’m currently homeschooling my children and am at home most days. I am rarely away from home for more than 3-4 hours at a time. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love to have friends visit. Your dogs will be made comfortable and part of the family in my home.

About: Huge animal lover. I’ve worked all across the board in terms of pet care. I’ve worked at big name pet stores and veterinary hospitals. I’ve worked in grooming and board. I’ve worked on farms and ranches with all sorts of farm animals including horses and even cattle. I have experience with medicine administration and animal husbandry. Currently pursuing a degree in Conservation Biology and Ecology at ASU with hopes of a full time career with animals doing what I love. Rover helps make my dreams come true :) I am an online college student and do odd jobs around town like performing live music (I’m a singer/guitarist/songwriter) delivering food and cleaning houses and storage units, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am around animals all day from my own, to encounters with other pets and my parents own a farm that I assist with, as well. I do not offer my own home for pet services. I offer walking, pet sitting, check-ins, pet care services, etc. I can even offer grooming services for a fee

“I cannot say enough good things about Rachel! Our dog got sick the first day we left and Rachel cleaned up and was able to get him the medication he needed. We were in Canada with very limited cell service and I trusted our 3 babes were in good hands!”
