“Our pet sitter had to cancel last minute, but it was a blessing in disguise because he did a fantastic job with my three dogs. I loved the pictures throughout the visit too.”


2. Heather J.


“Heather is amazing! Right away my mind was at ease with having her stay with our pup. Our dog was relaxed and happy upon us returning and I know she was well taken care of and enjoyed her time with Heather. Will 100% be booking in the future 😊”


3. Jennifer R.

“We are so thankful that we found Jennifer! Not only is she highly responsive, but she was flexible when we found out we needed to change our start time at the last-minute and tack on another visit. She took great care with the instructions I provided as this was the first time we left our puppy for the night. She took her on long walks and sent pictures...It was so reassuring. She's very sweet and obviously has a great love of animals. We've already secured Jennifer for our upcoming long trip!”


4. Mercedes B.

“This is the 2nd time Mercedes has dog sat Obasi. She is my go to. I wouldn’t want anyone else outside of my family to watch him. She’s caring, playful and patient with Obasi. She’s a great communicator as well, providing updates as often as you may want them. Although with her watching him, there is less stress and no need to check up on him daily.”


5. Kimberly V.

“Our Micki took to Kimberly right away. Our dog can always recognize a fellow dog lover. We received many photos and videos while we were away, which made us feel really good. When we got home, Micki was happy and tired from having so much fun. Thank you Kimberly for treating our dog like the queen she is.”


6. Dylan B.
About: I’ve always been around pets since I was little, whether it be dogs, cats, etc. I know how to care for them. I started doing Rover about 4 years ago, but had to stop due personal reasons and now I’m back on here. I have done multiple sittings before, so I can assure you I know what I’m doing and you will be pleased. I have worked with all types of dogs/cats. Pictures included in my profile: My own dog, some of the pets ( not all) that I have sat for, and pictures of myself. Just graduated from college a couple months ago. Still on the market for a job, so I am available every day of the week as of right now. Once I get a job, my schedule will change. I have a lot of experience with oral medication and shots with my own pets, so If you need that as well it won’t be a problem. I’ve had to crate my dogs before so I could do the same with yours if needed. I like to walk my dogs a lot and be very active with them, so if that’s what you need then i’m your guy.


7. Jack W.
“Jack is a dedicated man, a person can count on, he takes all commitments seriously. Jack is known as a patient teacher. He watches and listens attentively to his student, human and animal friends to find out their comfort level to gain his trust. But all in all he is kind and very caring person admired and loved.”


8. Zoe P.
About: Lifetime pet owner and caretaker of both puppies and senior dogs. I adore every four legged critters from the smallest chihuahua to the largest Dane. I make sure to tailor my care to exactly what your dog needs and have over a decade of volunteer experience under my belt. From walks to simply playing in the yard I'll make sure they get their physical activity in if need be without over exerting themselves. I have a car in case of emergencies as well as if you'd like me to take them to the local dog park. I am available for multiple check ins throughout the day if requested as well as longer visits for more skittish pets. I have a very open and flexible schedule due to my nature as a freelance worker. I can accommodate any schedule and am able to offer multiple check ins and longer stays as a result. I have the utmost respect for my clients homes and will do my best to meet their pets unique needs while taking care to respect their house and property. Any guidelines or requirements please just say! From leaving a light or a TV on for anxious critters to leaving out anything specific for an animals comfort. I also am fine to do overnight stays if a client is out of town for a while. I just need time throughout the day to make sure my kitties are taken care of. But I'd never be gone for long.


9. Holly S.

“Holly sat for our boys and we arrived home to find them calm which is always a good sign. We later found out she had to contend with fireworks while we were gone, and they scare our pup terribly. This makes it more impressive that he was calm when we walked in. Very happy with how it went!”


10. Amber P.

“She was great!! Sent pictures and updates. Played with them. Highly recommend.”

14. Cindy P.

“I am so grateful that we found Cindy to watch our 3 pets. Our dog is 9 years old and this was the first time we left her with anyone besides my son. As soon as we met Cindy, I knew she would take good care of them. We received updates while we were gone and everything ran very smoothly. If we go on any other trips, I hope Cindy will be available to watch our animals. Thank you!!”

About: Hello! My name is Courtney B. I’m 29 years old and can say I’ve been an animal lover for all those years! I’ve always been surrounded by animals growing up from cats & dogs to birds and lizards! My favorite thing about them all is their unique personalities. I’ve taken care of a countless number of animals and have helped family and friends with theirs when needed! I recently lost my favorite pup in the world and that was the most heartbreaking day ever!!! But I still have my cat to keep me company on the sad days. She is my little snuggle bug. Animals are my passion! I hope I am considered in taking care of your beautiful pups & kitties! I would love nothing more. I am currently working online from home so I have all the time in the world to care for your pets! I am very flexible. I live in a house with a big back yard, whether you need your pet to be taken out on a leash or I also have a doggy tie-out anchor which I can hook your pup up to to enjoy the outside on it’s own with being securely fastened. I have hooked up large breed-dogs to it and have had no problem!

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, turtles, fish, and hamsters since I was a toddler. I used to pet sit for my neighbors and family members from about 10yrs old onward. I’ll walk, cuddle, bathe and play with any type of pets. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter. I also worked at Coyne Vet center for about 2 years. I’m usually available for a walk or drop in visit on week nights and the weekends! I do work in the Crown Point area so I’m mobile. I’m open to in house pet sitting as long as your pet can go about 6 hours alone with me being at work. I always remember that your home is their home. I like to keep your fur babies as comfy as possible. I also try to keep them on their regular routine as if nothing is changing for them.

About: I have had pets my entire life so I am no stranger to what their needs are. I have worked professionally with all types of animals for about 2 years now. That includes senior pets, puppies, kittens, and even some exotic pets. I still am at my job that involves me working with animals which includes; feeding, walking, bathing, and even knowing what to do in case of an emergency. Your pets will definitely be safe with me and feel loved while we wait for your return! I do work full time at my current animal facility but I do have days off and can look after pets on my days off and even go feed and walk them before and after my shifts! We have a big back yard with lots of space for running and exercise. I have a sweet golden retriever puppy and 2 yorkies that are friendly as ever. I can crate your dog if requested and make sure to bring the food they are used to to ensure they get their meals. I believe your pet would definitely just feel like it was one big play date while you were away!
