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!!!

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

Miriam was great with my dogs while I was out of town and the last minute booking wasn't an issue. One of my dogs takes medicine every few hours and Miriam was able to administer it with no problems.

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. I respect your space, keep things clean, and make sure your pet feels secure at all times.

Jaymee was great. She listened to all the instructions we provided, and since it was our first time she helped assure my worries about leaving my girls to someone else's care. During the visits one of our dogs had a medical issue, that needed medication delivered at certain times. Jaymee helped us by working her schedule around to help care for our dog's medication schedule. Overall my girls loved her and had a great time. I will definitely be booking again with Jaymee the next time I need someone to watch my dogs.

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!

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 ☺️

About: For 12 wonderful years, I had the joy of loving my own dog, and for the past decade, I’ve been capturing the personalities of pets through photography even volunteering to photograph foster animals to help them find forever homes. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I can’t imagine life without. Now, I’d be honored to give your furry friend the same love, attention, and joy I gave my own keeping tails wagging and hearts happy while you’re away. I currently work at a local middle school. I plan to offer pet services on days I am off work and our school breaks. Perfect for any vacations you have planned, I will be available. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep them leashed and secure during walks, and make sure doors and gates are always locked behind me. I’ll check food, water, and comfort levels at every visit — and send you photo updates so you can see their happy face while you’re away. You can trust me to treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I give my own.
