This was my first time using Rover for my dog, I was a little nervous about my dog not being cared for by family. But Isabel was so kind and friendly. She sent me messages and pictures of my Oliver when I was away. I was so impressed by this service. I know my dog is a handful but he seemed very happy the whole weekend. I will absolutely recommend Isabel!! I hope she is available to help next time I am out of town. Thank you so much Isabel!!!

Mariela went above and beyond for my doggy! He was afraid and scared when she came over. She stayed with him and did everything possible to make him comfortable.

About: I have had pets as long as I can remember - from the playful puppy all the way through the senior years. My pup, Alice, is a 60 pound sweetheart who enjoys making new puppy friends. My cat, Bubby, keeps to herself most of the time, but is super loving on her terms. I am currently working permanently from home giving me the opportunity to offer a flexible schedule for early drop offs and/or later pickups if necessary. I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup to keep your dog company in your absence. I have one cat as well, but she keeps to herself most of the time.

Amanda was excellent with my kitties again. Her attention to all the details of the house while she was present is amazing. She has continuously provided top notch service going above and beyond just taking care of the kitties, with keeping an eye on the house as a whole.

Brandi took great care of my 2 cats while I was away for a week. As someone who gets very nervous about leaving my babies behind when traveling it was nice to know that they were in good hands ☺️

Emily is great. I can tell she really cares for animals and my dog (and fish) would agree. She’s punctual and shared plenty of picture updates while we were away. I definitely recommend Emily for your pet sitting needs! 😃

About: I grew up with small, medium, and large dogs and my family currently has 2 medium/large dogs. In addition, I have extensive experience living with and caring for animals (including a summer on a farm). I have experience pet-sitting dogs (including rescues), cats, and birds. I would love to spend time with your pets over the next few months -- my schedule is flexible given advance notice! I have just relocated back to the US after spending some time in Thailand, so I am working part-time as I search for a more permanent position. I can house-sit, come play with your pups, clean your litter-box, or take your animals for a walk. I am happy to come to your space where your pets are already comfortable and learn their rhythms, routines, and needs. At this time I am unable to board your pets in my home. I am tidy and can assist with basic household maintenance such as taking out the trash while you are away.

Drew was very attentive with my fur babies!! She followed all instructions and was able to adjust when my dog ran to other dogs. She was able to remain calm and wrangle them back in the house. Her communication was superb and I never had to worry about getting ahold of her. 10/10 would recommend!

Olivia was absolutely wonderful while we were away! She dropped in twice to let our dogs out, feed them, and make sure they were well cared for. She treated our home with so much respect and care, truly like it was her own. One of our favorite parts was all the beautiful pictures she took of the dogs while we were gone, it gave us so much peace of mind and made us smile seeing how happy and comfortable they were. You can really tell she genuinely cares about animals.

About: I have had dogs since I was born. My family has always had a dog. For 18 years, I had my own dogs. I’ve also watched friends and family member’s dogs. I will go to their houses and let their dogs out for them, walk them, etc. I work part time at a local elementary school as a TA. I only work 5.5 hrs a day, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I have a fenced in yard and a 10 year old that would love to play with your dog if I’m not! I can put them in a crate if need be. I’d love to take them for a ride too! If I go to your house, I will respect your property and your dog’s things.

They did a great job taking care of my cat, Erika, who was not very happy about us leaving for a few days. Brittany sent me a picture of Erika each day, even when she was being uncooperative and trying to hide. She was responsive to text messages and kept me updated. I definitely recommend Brittany and Branson!

About: I have lots of years of animal care, animal sitting and house sitting. I've walked dogs of all sizes, big, small, etc. I've been doing pet care since I was about 14 years old, and use to house sit for a close friend of mine for years where I would feed the dogs, let them out to use the restroom, and stay to play with them. Now that I've moved to the Rockford area, I'm looking to establish trust, and offer the best care for your fur babies. I work full time, Monday through Friday. I can let animals out for potty breaks and food bowl checks after 6pm CST on the weekdays, or even late evening walks. Otherwise, weekends are completely open for walks, housesitting, and even overnights. I always make sure that your pet is safe, whether you have a fence, crate, or leash to keep them on. Before leaving, I'll make sure that the house is locked up, and that the pet is safe in their crate if needed. I do a quick last check to top off the water, food, and I'll provide plenty of updates if you wish to know how your dog or cat is doing.

Taylor was absolutely fantastic! I am very nervous leaving my big German shepherd with anyone (I’m a bit of a helicopter parent) but Taylor got on with him very well! She dropped in on him during a very long day at work for me, gave him a bit of attention and a potty break, and all went smoothly! She communicated quickly when she was with him and even brought in my heavy chewy box of dog food that was delivered! I can’t say how happy I am to have someone that seems to like my big boy and will be able to take care of him when I need. Taylor is awesome!!

About: Hi there! My name is Lauren. Our pets are an important part of our family but unfortunately they can’t tagalong with us everywhere we go. Have you found yourself passing up opportunities, turning down offers or just having guilt about leaving them cooped up for too many hours? As a former business owner and having two dogs I understand the struggle. I had endless guilt about not spending enough time with my pups. But, you are in luck because you needn't feel guilt anymore. I have a flexible schedule which allows for you to make last-minute trips, on a whim decisions or just simply having a worry free day away from home. I have grown up with cats and dogs all my life. My pups and I have all gone to training classes so, I have a solid understanding of canine behavior in order to keep everyone safe and sound. I work in the health and wellness industry. My position allows for me to create my own schedule which is conducive to caring for all your beloved ones needs. I am super outdoorsy! So, I am familiar with many of our local parks and walking paths. I am always up for a car ride and to go to the park. Please just let me what you feel comfortable with.

About: Hi, I’m LaShay. I have over 20 years of experience caring for animals, and I treat every pet like they are my own. I don’t just provide pet care. I provide peace of mind. I’m known for being patient, attentive, and especially good with dogs who need extra understanding or have big personalities. I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Clients trust me not only with their pets, but with their homes. I go above and beyond to leave everything clean, comfortable, and exactly how I found it, sometimes even better. Whether your pet needs playtime, quiet time, structure, or extra love, I adjust to their needs and follow your routine closely so they feel secure and stress free. In my care, pets are not just watched. They are loved, respected, and treated like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and structured environment where every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress free. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm and loving environment.

Amanda was great. I needed a cat sitter last minute and she responded in a timely manner and was able to work with me quickly. She was very flexible! My cats were well taken care of. Amanda sent updates and pictures each visit. I felt very comfortable with her when we met and her thorough reports and pictures helped relieve any anxiety I had leaving my girls! Thank you Amanda for taking care of my girls. I will definitely reach out for future sits!
