About: I have been trusted with the responsibility of pet sitting since I was able to drive. Whether it is friends, family, neighbors, or friends of friends, I have always been someone my circle feels like they can depend on to take care of their homes & precious fur babies! I have experience with dog walking, house sitting, as well as drop by pet sitting. I have also been fortunate enough to have a dog of my own, Ginger, who is a 7 year old Bernadoodle! I am currently post grad working a part-time hybrid social media marketing position in town that only requires me to be on-site 2-3 days a week. Getting to spend time with animals during my down time would be a dream come true for me as I would feel great not only filling a need but getting to hangout with new fur friends while I do it! I will ensure your pet is consistently cared for and is provided with everything they may need. It is my goal to help them stay on their normal routine as much as possible while you are gone. They will be fed regularly, always have fresh water, and always be given the loving they deserve!
“Kylie was such a blessing to us!! My dogs got along with her wonderfully. She communicated great from the very first message until the last hour we had her scheduled!! She made it so much easier to enjoy our family vacation without worrying if our 4-legged family members were doing ok. We would definitely use her again!!!”

“Cory was very responsive and attentive to our dog and cat while we were away. He asked lots of good questions, had some good suggestions for our very energetic dogs and we felt confident that the animals were in good hands.”

“Kimberly was great with my Lab Mix. She sent updates from their walks, and remembered specific details about Leroy and his habits. She also got him to walk with a harness, which I had not been able to do.”


“Mark was fantastic! We were out of town for nearly a week the first time Mark house/dog-sat (he had previously walked our pup), and Mark handled everything. Most importantly, our dog loves him! But Mark also brought in the mail, kept an eye on things around the house during some large storms, and communicated with us regularly. The day we were coming home, Mark was willing to stay later during a tornado watch when our flights were delayed. He also left the house very clean in terms of dishes and laundry, which was not required but a nice way to come back from a trip. We will definitely be using Mark again in the future!”

“Paige is amazing! She really went above and beyond taking care of our babies! We got multiple updates daily with pictures. She took them on walks, snuggled with them and loved them like they were her own. On our meet and greet, she paid such good attention to instructions and followed them to a T. Her staying overnight in our house with our 2 dogs (one who is deaf) gave us such peace of mind while we were away! We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her for anyone’s pet/s!”

“We found Lorri on Rover while looking for a new sitter after moving from out of state. Our two dogs were especially sensitive after changing homes and routines, and we can’t believe the strides they made while in her care! She sent thoughtful detailed daily updates with pictures and let us know about all the “wins” she was celebrating with our very anxious pup, Pepper. It’s clear she is a natural with animals and is so patient and compassionate with them. Our house was well taken care of and I could tell our dogs were her priority while we were away—could not have asked for anything more. Will absolutely book Lorri again and would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve taken care of and have had my own cats and dogs my whole life as well as helping take care of my families and neighbors dogs whether they be out of town or just needing the extra help with busy or late nights. I have experience with a variety of dogs small and large. I am available to dog/house sit, walks, or check ins. I do not have experience in training dogs. I do also work with children 8-4 PM and so will have limited availability during the weekdays 💕 I am available for weekends. I do work with children 8-4 pm on weekdays so I do have limited availability Monday-Friday but can always make time afterwards to help 💕 I personally treat my pets like they are my children and I intend on treating all animals I encounter with the same amount of love and respect. I just kindly ask to communicate any routines or needs and I will gladly respect that 😁
About: I have been a pet owner for many years of both cats and dogs. I have raised them from puppy/kittens to adults. I also was a personal assistant and part of the responsibilities was feeding and taking care of the pet's needs. I haven't had a career focused on pet care but I love animals and have had them in my life all the time. I work full time as a social worker, but I can walk pets or feed them during the week after 5pm and I have weekends free for pet care. I do not offer boarding but I am a very responsible person and will follow all instructions you have to ensure your pet is properly taken care of.

About: I have had animals since I was in elementary school so my experience with them are more than intermediate. In addition, during my younger years I’ve been exposed to many animals even exotic ones so my love for animals is huge. As of now I do work a full time job that has a different schedule every week. But I am accommodating to include pet care into the schedule I already have for both work and home schedule. My cats are strictly indoor as I do not believe in indoor/ outdoor cats due to many safety hazards. If watching a clients cat I would be doing the same or only allow outside time if there is a screened in porch and I would be supervising them. As for dogs I believe the same, as leaving a dog outside unsupervised I do not believe in.
“Bailey and her fiancé were very responsible and communicative! During the stay, Bailey had an allergic reaction to something in our house so couldn’t stay overnight, but she offered instead to complete frequent drop-ins and ultimately made sure our dog was well taken care of. I’m very grateful!”

About: I bring years of hands-on animal care experience from veterinary clinics, kennels, and long-term pet sitting, including special-needs care for a senior dog who requires diapers, hourly potty breaks, medication management, and a strict diet. My background in veterinary support and my 5-year commitment to caring for three dogs from one family means I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and fully comfortable supporting pets with complex routines. I treat every animal with patience, confidence, and genuine love, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because, with school wrapping up, I have plenty of time to focus on consistent, reliable visits. I plan my days around each pet’s needs, keeping feeding, walks, and medications on schedule while balancing a few prior commitments on set days. For the most part, I’m available daily, which allows me to offer flexible booking, dependable check-ins, and attentive pet-focused care that never feels rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly, keeping feeding, meds, and potty schedules consistent while maintaining a calm, clean environment. I provide gentle companionship, monitor behavior and health closely, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and reassured. My goal is to respect the home, reduce stress, and ensure every pet feels safe and understood.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters? I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s a slow walk for an older pup or high-energy playtime for a young one, I meet animals where they are. I have two dogs of my own—Theo and Sage—so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. Beyond personal experience, I have a BA in animal science and I’m currently in the process of earning my master’s degree in Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication, with a focus on companion animals. I also work as an assistant educator, so I bring a calm, thoughtful approach to every visit. I’m confident administering medications, caring for nervous or senior pets, and yes—I genuinely don’t mind deep-cleaning litter boxes. I treat every animal like family, with patience, care, and a whole lot of love I’m currently working full time until 3pm. However Whether it’s morning walks, meal times, or evening play sessions, I’m used to planning my day around pets’ needs. I live in a three-story townhouse with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable—whether they want to play or have their own quiet area. My own dogs are friendly, but I can easily keep pets separate if needed. I also have some dog training experience, so I’m confident handling different temperaments and routines. Your pet will be safe, loved, and well cared for here or in your home! I do ask that your pet be crate trained and doesn't bark in the crate since I do live very close to neighbors.
“Madie was amazing. We had a last minute conflict with our dog sitter and she came to the rescue. It was our first time using someone who was not family watching her. She came to our house on Thanksgiving to do a meet and greet which greatly decreased our hesitation about using someone else to watch our fur baby. Madie went above and beyond what we could have asked for. She was professional and extremely kind. She cared for Stella as if she were her own. We will definitely be using her again! Cannot recommend her enough.”
About: I have walked neighbors dog for a couple of years now. I got my first dog sitting job when I was 13. I also was a nanny for 4 years for a family with a dog who I took care of daily. I have 2 cats, and a puppy that I adore! I am currently a graduate student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I’m free most afternoons and most weekends as well! Please reach out if you are interested! I am very attentive to each animals needs. I am always punctual when it comes to walking, feeding, and playing to ensure the animal is the happiest they can be. I am responsible for my cats at home by feeding and cleaning litter daily. I take my dog on walks and play with her. When I was a nanny I always made sure the walk the dog as long as he needed and find ways to show him extra love and attention when I could (:
“Jenna stayed at our home for 8 days while we were on vacation. She took excellent care of our pug Cookie and our two chinchillas. She is very conscientious and communicative with any questions. I felt such relief having her take care of things for us while we were away. Thank you Jenna!!!”

About: Long time fur dad and lifelong lover of animals. Have personal and professional experience with a vast variety of dog breeds. Well versed in training and obedience should you need it. Your cats and other critters will love me too, even reptiles! Currently I have a dog, cat, and two chinchillas. As a local realtor my schedule is very flexible so I can give your pets lots of time and attention. I work from home so your pet(s) are never unsupervised while here. I'm available Monday-Sunday to give your pet the concierge level of care they deserve. Not knowing where you are can be stressful for pets. I do my best to make sure your pet is at ease and has fun while you are away. I live near a lake and trails that make for some great walking. If your pet needs to be in a kennel while sleeping that is no problem, otherwise they are welcome on the furniture like my own pets are. My dog is very friendly, non-dominant, and loves having a buddy to romp around with. The cat will ignore them.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Augerville
Zoey did an excellent job at taking care of our 2 chi’s! They are always unsure of new people but made right up with her and were happy as can be when we got home! She sent us daily updates and pictures and we were able to enjoy our 2 nights away knowing everything was well taken care of and that the pups were happy! Even our old cat loved her! Highly recommend Zoey and we will definitely be asking her again in the future!
I received regular pictures while I was gone and regular updates. Queenie seems to have had a wonderful time although there’s nothing quite like having her mommy home! Amy is outstanding at communication and as a person I just adore her. She’s wonderful with the dog.

Ashley did an amazing job! I don’t have easy dogs, one is reactive and the other is very skittish. The skittish one warmed up to her by end of day 1 and my reactive dog had no issues at all warming up to her. She was very good about sending updates and pictures. Highly recommend!! I’m so happy to have found someone I can trust to watch my pups when I need to leave town.

Samantha was so great taking care of my dog, Figgy. She was responsive to messages and sent updates with pictures. Samantha was super patient with me, as it was my first time booking a sitter, and didn’t even flinch at his complicated feeding routine or high energy.

Ava was a wonderful house sitter for my dog Whimzy. She sent me photos and updates and Whimzy looked very happy and well cared for. My house was sparkling and clean upon return. Super happy with her stay and would 100 have her sit again - hopefully soon. Highly recommend!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Augerville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Augerville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Augerville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
