Monica was absolutely amazing taking care of our pups and giving us the ease of mind knowing they were well taken care of on our wedding day. She left very detailed notes about her visits and took care of them like they were her own. We appreciate it so much and will definitely be booking her again if we need dog sitting in the future!

Dawn is outstanding! We were nervous to let someone into our home to check on our two kitties each day during our two-week vacation. Dawn made the entire process easy and comforting from beginning to end. After the meet and great, we knew our kitties were in good hands. She provided detailed and personalized updates each day and sent photos. While our cats are typically apprehensive of strangers, Dawn took the time to develop a connection with both of them, adjusting food requirements, brushing and playing with them. She even watered the house plants for us. We never worried for a minute while away. We feel very fortunate to have found Dawn and will certainly recommend her to our family and friends, Thank you, Dawn!!

Madison did a great job taking care of our two dogs! She was very responsive and went above and beyond when it was just too cold (-25) for them to be outside. We would absolutely use her again!

About: I’ve grown up on a farm loving animals. I currently have two dogs myself and just love the opportunity to make a pet’s day part of my day. I do work a full time job currently but have plenty of time in the evening to drop in on your pet. Eventually, I’m hoping to make this more of a full time schedule. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I’m happy to let them out, take them for walks, spend time for snuggles or play and even feed them a meal if necessary.

I cannot say enough INCREDIBLE things about Emily! We were gone for an extended amount of time and she was so sweet to our cat, Mowgli. She was timely and consistent in her drop ins and took some really awesome pictures of them playing and snuggling - be warmed right up to her from the moment he was around her. We will schedule with her again when we have another need to be out of town.

About: I have well over 24 years caring for dogs. I believe a house isn't a home without a dog. We (me and my family) lost our dog, Teddy, about 11/2 years ago. It has been very hard living without him. I still look for him at the door whenever I come home. We are still heartbroken from his passing. Someday we hope to find the courage to love again. Until then we want to love on all the doggies that come to stay and play with us. When your dog is here he/she is part of our family. Please be willing to come by with your pup for a meet & greet before any reservations are made. Our main concern is that you are completely comfortable leaving your fur-baby with us. Here is a coupon for $20 off. Your Promo Code: TIFFAK87923 Your promo code is only for new Rover members you recruit through your profile link. Rules and restrictions apply—read our Terms of Service to learn more. I work for H&R Block during tax season, January thru April. I am home all day the rest of the year to care for your doggie. I care for your dog as if he/she were my own. We will go on walks to Greenbelt Park, Grays Lake, and all throughout our neighborhood. We can play fetch in our yard. Also, belly rubs are a must :)

About: Im Tina,53, I have raised 5 dogs and trained them well. Everyone who knows me calls me the dog whisperer. I am patient, calm and respectful with all animals. All animals need love and attention and kindness.. I currently have plenty of time to spend showing love and attention to your fur babies. Every morning I’m up bright and early walking my fur baby. I can see how much she enjoys it. and wouldn’t miss it for the world.. after that, I have time to spend giving love and attention to other fur babies. I have a sweet young Labrador, a large fenced yard and can crate your dog if you prefer me to do that.i love to walk with dogs. Play games with them do mental stimulation with dogs which they need daily.

Brad was top notch, we’re so happy we found him! Our dogs were happy and healthy when we got back home from vacation. Brad was punctual and we didn’t have to worry at all with our dogs in his hands. In fact, we immediately booked again with Brad and look forward to having him back. Thank you so much, Brad!

Emily makes days like this possible for me. I was on the run from 7:30’- 4:00 and needed drop in help so I didn’t have to run home. It takes a load off my shoulders to know Emily can step in!

This was our first time using Rover. The entire process was simple, easy and the match with Jackson and our girls was great. Normally, I worry when they go to the kennel for the weekend and wondering if they get the outside time. Jackson sent pictures of our girls each visit and gave amazing updates. We will absolutely be having Jackson come back.
