About: My name is Sandra and I’m 28 years old. I have two furry family members; Bonbon, an 11 year old poodle mix, and Wally, a 3 year old collie mix. I currently work as a Dog Groomer, but have about 6 years of experience in the Dog Daycare industry. My past jobs have given me the experience needed to handle and care for dogs of all sizes. They’ve also taught me how to greet an unfamiliar dog, how to do feedings for various dogs, administer medication, and how to detect signs of aggression and fear. With my personal experience and professional experience, I am well equipped to handle dogs in all stages of life. With that being said, It takes patience, hard work, and honesty to care for a dog. My offered services to clients are met with the highest of standards. I believe in giving 100% in all work that I do, meaning you’ll never receive less than excellent care for your best friend. It’s difficult to leave your dog in the hands of a stranger, however, I always treat every dog the way I would want my dog to be treated: like family. If you have any questions regarding my services, please feel free to reach out! I am fully committed to Rover, meaning I have full availability, and can give your furry family members my full attention 7 days a week. I care for your pets the way I would care for my own. Every furry family member is different, and you know them best. I can guarantee my care will reflect the dog’s lifestyle. Whether you crate at home, or your pet snuggles in bed with yourself; I aim to keep the routine as close as possible to that at home.

“Fantastic family watched our dog. So kind and attentive. Our dog was in good hands. He loved being chased around the yard by their son. They tired each other out. Would definitely recommend.”

“Sara is HEAVEN SENT! I was amazed within 5 minutes of meeting her. My dog Abby (who’s 11yrs old) has not been around any other dogs for about 8 years. And my dog stayed with her with 4 other dogs! Everyday and night, she gave us updates and pictures and videos on Abby. I was all the way in Colorado and felt calm and reassured that my dog was well taken care of. She is the best! She is a dog whisperer! Seriously! I think I found Abby the best dog sitter EVER! Thank you so very much Sara! Abby absolutely loved her. You have no idea how much this ment to our family!”

About: Hi! I’m a proud dog mom to two Cavapoos—Max (6 months old) and Charlie (1 year old). They are truly the love of my life, and having them has completely changed my world. I care for every dog as if they were my own, with the same love, attention, and patience I would hope someone gives to Max and Charlie. Your dog will be treated like family here. We also have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and enjoy their time outside. I look forward to caring for your pup! I work 2 days a week and I’m at home the rest of the week , so I would be more than happy to have your baby here ! I care for pets at my own house , providing pee pads and a lot of love and play time ! I also have a back yard for them to go potty!

“Sara was very responsive immediately upon requesting her dog sitting services. This continued during the week long stay - sending pictures and updates. I also want to highlight her enthusiasm as she both took my dog to PetSmart to pick out a toy, unprompted, for her birthday and got her a little treat with a candle! No reason I need to find anyone else going forward!!”

She has such a great set up for the dogs with her fenced in yard and they loved her big picture window with a ledge.She sent us plenty of pictures while we were away and is very quick to reply.

“Renae was great! Our dog is a 6 month old puppy. We got him weeks before we hired Renae and were very worried about how he was going to do and if he was going to be okay. Renae went above and beyond the call. She took him to parks and the beach and kept him busy the whole weekend. She sent daily updates (sometimes even twice daily) that included pictures of him enjoying himself. We are first time dog owners and she did a great job of relieving the stress of leaving a dog so young with a stranger. She even gave us a few pointers that she's picked up on in her time with dogs. She's a true professional and I'm very impressed with the quality of care we received.”

She provided a lot of pictures/videos and updates while taking care of them and when I had come to pick them up they wanted to stay and hang out! I’d strongly recommend booking with Shaneika if looking for a pet sitter and will definitely be using her again if I need a sitter in the future! If I could give 10 stars I would!”

“Sim stepped in on short notice after an initial dog sitter arrangement fell through, providing immediate help during a stressful situation. Sim and his family welcomed our puppy as one of their own, ensuring he felt comfortable and at home. It was so nice to get regular updates, including pictures and videos, throughout the stay. This frequent communication allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation without worry. Sim is a highly dependable and caring dog sitter, ideal for pet owners seeking reliable, communicative, and compassionate care for their dogs.​​​”

“Mike was so easy to work with. He made sure he had detailed information about my dog's daily activities, feeding time, and personality. He took extra time to make sure my dog was comfortable, inspite of my dog being anxious at first. My dog can be "neady" at times but he seemed to enjoy his time in Mike's home. He acted like he would be happy to stay with Mike when I went to pick him up. I recieved daily photos and info on how he was doing.”

About: I’m a big animal lover who treats every pet like my own. I’m all about walks, playtime, belly rubs, kisses and plenty of cuddles — whatever makes your pet happiest. I’m comfortable with all personalities and energy levels, and I have hands-on experience caring for a dog with a seizure history, senior dogs with health issues, reactive dogs, blind and deaf dogs so I’m calm, attentive and great at following care instructions. I’m super affectionate, love building trust with pets and genuinely enjoy making them feel safe and happy. Don’t let the tattoos fool you — I’m a total softie who lives for puppy kisses and kitty cuddles! Please Note: Currently, I am unable to walk dogs on leash due to a spinal injury. I am still able to let them in fenced yard, feed, cuddle, & provide all other care. I work from home as a business owner and set my own schedule, which means pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins and extended visits throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, walking preferences and house rules. I keep a calm, clean and pet-friendly environment and always monitor pets closely during walks and visits. I’m careful about leashes, doors, gates, surroundings & other animals and I provide updates with photos so you feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone and I take that responsibility seriously. I will always treat your pet as I want my pets to be treated — with extra love! Please ask about additional services I offer such as pet waste pickup, nail trims, pet bathing, pet taxi services, pet shopping, room cleaning, carpet spot cleaning, organizing tasks, furniture building, medication pickup and more! Have a busy schedule? I’m here to help!

About: I have grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. Pets are a part of the family and I treat every animal as if it were my own. I would love a buddy, and hope to make your dog’s or cat’s day with a fun walk or visit! I am open most weekends, mornings & evenings. I am both willing and would love to make time for your little fur baby! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions. I have two friendly dogs that would love to keep your dogs company! My neighborhood has sidewalks and is next to a forest preserve, so we often go on long adventurous walks.

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.

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 .

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.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in IL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
