“This was our first experience with the Rover app and Shannon taking care of Maggie. It could not have been a better experience! Shannon was great with communication and very timely. We had boarding arrangements elsewhere and they canceled at the last minute. Shannon was quick to reply to my inquiry and helped me navigate the Rover app. The "Meet & Greet" went very well with Maggie meeting Shannon's personal K-9 companions. Right from the start, we were very comfortable and confident that Shannon would take great care of Maggie. She was very personable and kept us informed during our travels with pics/updates. When arriving to pick her up, Maggie was happy & seemingly didn't care that we had returned. It was very obvious that Maggie was well cared for and SPOILED! We highly recommend Shannon and won't hesitate to use her again. (6+ 🌟)”


About: Hello! My name is Olivia, and I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've provided pet care for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m dependable, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about animals of all kinds. Growing up, my family always had dogs and cats, and I also have extensive experience caring for exotic pets, including reptiles, birds, and small mammals. I love spending time outdoors, have a flexible schedule, and am knowledgeable about a wide variety of animal species and their unique care needs. I strive to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away!🐶 I recently graduated from college and am looking for a summer position, which means I have a very flexible schedule and full availability to care for your pets whenever needed. Whether you're looking for someone to stop by for a few hours, provide daily care, or stay with your pets for multiple days, I'm happy to help. I also love spending time outdoors and would be more than happy to give your pets extra walks, playtime, and outdoor enrichment to keep them active and happy! My condo complex is very pet-friendly and features a grassy area that's perfect for potty breaks and outdoor time. There's also a walking trail right next to my home, providing a great space for daily walks and exercise. Inside, I have plenty of room for pets to relax, play, and explore comfortably. If your pet is crate-trained, I'm also happy to accommodate their routine and can provide crating if a crate is supplied.
“Erica was wonderful. She had us meet her to go over details before the actual stay. She was very thorough and wanted to know all about my dog’s typical day. Her goal was for him to be as comfortable as possible. Her backyard is fenced and her home is neat and tidy. It was a very warm and cozy environment for my dog to settle into while he was there. She sent me some pictures of him and checked in with me so I knew everything was going well. I felt 100% confident that he was well taken care of!”


About: I’ve been caring for pets for many years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable following specific routines, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m able to be flexible with scheduling. I have availability on weekdays and weekends and can accommodate drop-ins, walks, and extended stays depending on your needs. I enjoy spending quality time with pets and make sure they receive plenty of attention, play, and care. I am a teacher, so in summer months, winter and spring breaks I will have quite a bit more of availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, routines, and feeding schedules provided by pet parents. I maintain a clean, calm environment and closely supervise pets during play and outdoor time. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any signs of stress, and I always communicate updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Dillon took amazing care of my boy! His home is clean, pet-friendly, and a great spot for doggy stay-overs. Monte felt comfortable right away exploring every part of his house and meeting Shadow, which put me at ease. I got updates with photos, and it was clear Monte was having a great time and was well cared for. When I picked him up, he was all smiles and full of good energy. Dillon followed Monte’s complex feeding schedule and made sure he got plenty of outdoor time. (and ear rubs) He truly treats every dog like his own. I highly recommend Dillon if you're looking for a great place for your fur baby to stay! I’ll definitely be booking with him again.”

“Heather and Leah were fantastic! They were able to watch Stanley last minute and he was incredibly well taken care of. He clearly had a ton of fun because he came home and slept with a smile on his face. Thank you Heather and Leah!”

“Mark was awesome to work with. He was very accommodating, he sent us pictures during Marcy’s stay and she seemed to really enjoy being there. It was her first stay with someone other than family and it went great. We will definitely be calling Mark again the next time we need a pet sitter!! 🐕🦺🐾❤️”

About: Senior care experience! I've adopted multiple dogs at 10+ yrs old from the local pounds and made sure they had the best senior care experience possible. I currently have 2 dogs, both spayed and absolutely love other dogs. A Corgi (Ruby) who is 9 and a Maltipoo (Joplin) who will be 2 this year. The poo was adopted from a kill shelter in TX (and one before her from the same area as well). We've lost 4 dogs in 2 yrs due to old age, 3 within 6 months. Hard pill to swallow but I love them all and would LOVE to love yours too! I am a stay-at-home dog mom. I have all the time in the world to take care of your babies! Believe me when I say they will come home all tuckered out :) I have a fenced in back yard and 2 VERY friendly dogs to keep your pups very much entertained! In your home (if a dog sitter in home is required) you can expect all of their daily schedules to be fulfilled.
About: I started dog sitting because I know what it’s like to leave your dog and spend the whole trip wondering if they’re okay. I’m Christy and I live in east moline Illinois , and my whole approach is built around keeping your dog happy at home where they’re comfortable. I’m big on communication — you’ll know when we walked, how they ate, what weird new toy position they invented, and you’ll get proof in photo form. I genuinely enjoy the little things: earning a nervous rescue’s trust, figuring out the exact scratch spot that makes a leg kick, or giving a senior pup the slow, patient walks they deserve. I treat every dog like they’re my own and every house like it’s mine. Dogs don’t care about your to-do list, they care that someone shows up for them. That’s why I love this, I get to be that person. Pet care is my day, not an add-on. I schedule walks, meals, meds, and playtime first, then build everything else around that. I’m up early for breakfast and potty breaks, available for mid-day visits, and home in the evenings for dinner, walks, and cuddles. Your dog gets consistency because my routine is designed I offer boarding and doggy daycare in my home here in east moline Illinois , and I’m home all day with the pups. Because I work from home, your dog isn’t left alone for hours, they get constant supervision, regular potty breaks in the yard, and someone to hang out with. I don’t use crates. I believe dogs do best when they can move freely in a safe, dog-proofed space, so I only take one client’s dogs at a time and make sure everyone gets along before booking. I stick to your dog’s normal feeding and walk schedule, and we spend the day based on what they need: playtime for the energetic ones, nap spots and quiet company for the mellow ones. You’ll get photo updates throughout the day so you know exactly how they’re doing. My house is their house while they’re here.
“Joe was really great with my dog who has separation anxiety. He took the time to let her get comfortable and trust him. He also checked in throughout, which gave us peace of mind!”
“We had a great experience with Mattie! She took wonderful care of Odie while we were away and Odie really enjoyed playing with Mattie's dog as well. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and kind sitter :-)”

“Katie and her family treated Heidi like she was part of theirs! She sent me photos and a video while I was at the game. This reassured me to know that Heidi was being treated like family while I was out of town. I'll definitely use Katie's services again.”

About: Hello! I have experience with generally small/medium dogs. I grew up and cared for my lil yorkshire terrier, named Tommy throughout most of my youth. He received all the snuggles, belly rubs, yard play, and walks! Enjoying his best life with loved ones.. Once he passed, I have always wanted to keel fur ones around with how much joy they brought into my life! Rover was the best match for my current lifestyle. I recently moved into a new townhome and traveling every so often, I did not want to commit with my own fur baby just yet. This app allows me to love and care for pets as my own but without the long term commitment. Please know your pet will be loved as if it was my own and will be given all the snuggles and attention. With flexible availability, I hope to make your pet at home when you're not able to be there! I work from home Monday-Friday, so will be available to take out your pet throughout the day for potty breaks that works with their normal routine. I am able to take them out for longer walks during my lunch time, and also after work. You can trust that I will give your pet all the love and attention as if it was my own. Play toys, give them treats (if allowed), bring them on walks! I do live in a townhome, but am available at home everyday and will be able to take them out frequently.
Colona pet parents share their Rover experiences
Great family who you can tell from the start love their dogs and love any dog that comes into their house. Both of their dogs are well behaved and allow your dog time to get used to being in new environment. They have a large fenced back yard that I know my toy Aussie just loved playing ball in. Already booked our next stay!
