“Kris was fantastic! She was so patient and understanding with our overly nervous and anxious rescue dog. Our dog takes a while to warm up to strangers, so I was very nervous about having someone stay at our house, but Kris made me feel comfortable from the moment she first met our pup. Kris provided thorough communication the entire weekend. I would highly recommend her and definitely hope to have her house sit again!”

“Katherine is the best pet sitter!! She stays at my house and I know that my pets are taken care of. I get photos several times during her stay. She deserves 5 stars I would give her ten if I could!!”


About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs since I was a kid! I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs, and willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When taking it taking care of, playing with and walking your dogs I will dedicate my time to them. I would love tot take them to the dog park when you’re away! —I have experience caring for energetic and social dogs. I am currently home full-time so I am available for drop in visits or house sitting when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I will take care of your animals by going for walks and to dog parks, and anything you already do with them to make them most at comfortable in their home. I am currently available for daily check in’s Monday-Friday after 2pm. Additionally, I am available for check in’s and over-night care Friday-Sunday. I provide attentive and compassionate care for pets in the comfort of their home. I prioritize maintaining a pets routine and creating a calm environment.
“Caitlin was wonderful watching my dogs this past weekend. This is my first experience with Rover. She was highly responsive with communication. She came over to my house in advance to meet the dogs in order to ensure a smooth transition, especially given my dogs protective nature. She also walked me through the process and expectations, not having used Rover previously. My dogs took well to her and that was most important! I would absolutely book with her again.”

“Emmalee was attentive, responsive, and took excellent care of our two dogs—one senior and one younger. She followed all of our instructions closely, including their medication and supplement schedules, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned home after four days, both dogs were happy and clearly well cared for. I would highly recommend Emmalee to anyone considering a house sitter as a more comfortable alternative to traditional boarding.”

“Our dogs loved being with Victoria while we were away on a trip! It was our first time having someone watch them in our house, but it went really smoothly and the daily updates provided us with the peace of mind that they were doing well. We would love to have her watch our dogs the next time we are away!”

“Heather was great! Scheduled a meet and greet in advance of our first reservation to do an introduction for our dogs. Very communicative and caring! Our dogs loved her!! We will definitely use again!!”

About: I have had 4 dogs of my own and have taken care of lots of friends and families pets. I have taken care of pets of all ages and breeds. I am currently working part-time. I am home from college and I have very flexible hours. I am able to work weekdays and weekends! I will take care of pets with fences or no fences. I will watch them outside and make sure they don’t get into anything in the house!
About: Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve had dogs in my life. From growing up with family labs to currently caring for my own black lab named Mae! I love giving dogs a life full of fun, adventure, and exercise—whether that’s walks, hikes, games, or just quality playtime. As a former collegiate athlete and current physical therapy student, I bring energy, patience, and knowledge of safe movement, which helps me care for both energetic pups and senior dogs alike. I value treating every dog like family and strive to make each visit engaging, safe, and full of love for your precious pup :) Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a physical therapy student completing much of my coursework remotely, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the week. I am often available on weekends and have availability during weekdays as well, including evenings. Being active and organized, I thoroughly enjoy incorporating pet care into my day and can provide dependable attention, exercise, and companionship for your four-legged family member When it comes to caring for dogs, I value giving them my full attention. From the moment I meet them I want to make sure we are getting outside and being active. I find so much joy in making sure their cup is filled whether that’s us hanging out or going on long walks:)
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with five at a time—mostly black labs and black lab/German shepherd mixes—so I’m very used to bigger, stronger dogs. My dad often took us to dog events when I was a kid, which gave me plenty of experience handling all kinds of breeds and personalities. Along the way, I also picked up basic training skills, so I know how to keep dogs engaged, cared for, and comfortable. I’m currently a full time college student but I would be able give pet care in between classes during the day and some some weekends as needed When I care for pets in your home, I always follow their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and playtime while keeping things consistent with their food, walks, and sleeping schedule. I’m happy to reinforce any training or commands you use, and I’ll keep your home tidy while making sure your pet always has fresh water and a cozy space. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy and cared for.
“Julia was great with my 1 year old Goldador Julia was great with 1 yr old Remigus with lots of energy! She went above and beyond on limited space this time with an update to our wood flooring where Remi was not allowed to go on yet... very pleased and will definitely request Julia again!”

Cedar Lake pet parents share their Rover experiences
Payton was fantastic!! She was so responsive sending messages to us when she was on vacation and then while watching our pets she sent messages and photos everyday. Her communication was excellent!! Jack and SJ seemed very happy and comfortable. We booked Payton last minute and we couldn’t be happier. We will definitely use her again.
Randie was very accommodating in watching our dogs early in the morning, and immediately started helping take care of our dogs when we were having storm and house issues that same morning. She kept us updated each day and sent us pictures as well. Our dogs had so much fun with her over, got lots of pets, and even had some reinforcement training. Thank you, Randie!
