“It was so great to have Jana stay at our home and watch our pets (2 dogs, tortoise, and 4 fish) while we were away for a week. They felt completely comfortable with her and we felt the same leaving them in her care. We would love to have her care for them again.”
“Our experience with Samantha was overall amazing! The day before we were due to travel, one of our cats got very sick and our travel day was actually spent taking her to an emergency vet. We didn’t know when/if we would be traveling, but Samantha was super communicative and understanding through all of the uncertainty/changing plans. We ended up cancelling our trip, but we would love to work with Samantha again in the future. One of our cats is very skittish around new people, but she let Samantha pet her quite quickly so I was grateful to find someone Baby Grace was comfortable with.”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own baby. It is important to have someone you trust while you’re away so you don’t spend your trip worrying!! I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, quirks, and comfort level. Whether that means long walks, extra playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply keeping them company in their favorite spot, I want their routine to feel as normal as possible while you’re gone. I’m dependable, communicative, and will always keep you updated with plenty of photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy :) Work fully remote, available anytime! I have weekends available as well just let me know what you and your let need and I’m there! My dog is crate trained as well to provide space for your dog as well if need be. I have 2 dog parks down stairs with a quiet neighborhood to go for walks in and plenty of room for your pet to play!
“My husband and I really appreciate the care Melissa gave to our puppy Charlie!! Our puppy is sweet but very energetic and sneaky! She figured out all of his tricks right away!!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was born. My first dog was a 100 pound German Shepard mix, then we got a miniature border collie mix, then a hound, and now we have a one year old german shepard belgian malinois. I have helped train and take care of all of our family dogs and we take our dogs on at least 2 walks a day! I can take care of any type of dog and I will of course love every animal I take care of. I have no problem picking up poop on walks! I would love to help you take care of your Dogs! I am currently a college student at Judson University studying Architecture. I would be able to take care of your pet before 7:45am and I am available during lunch time. I am also volleyball player and practices are normally from 4-6 so I would be able to go over after that. MWF I have class from 1-5 so I wouldn’t be able to go in that time frame and my volleyball games are normally Tuesday and Thursday nights which I could go over after those. I have a fenced in yard at my house but I also have energetic dogs so I take them on walks every day twice a day. They both love to play fetch and obviously they love to go on their daily walks. I can do anything from just letting them out and throwing the ball for them to walking around the block or even a mile. I am flexible with what kind of service your pet may need!

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. Through Rover, I’m able to provide dependable, loving care for pets while giving their owners confidence and peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home while maintaining the routines they’re familiar with. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing outdoors, relaxing on the couch, or simply getting plenty of attention and scratched behind the ear, I’m happy to accommodate their individual personality and needs. I take my responsibility as a pet sitter very seriously and treat every animal in my care with patience, affection, and respect. I have experience with a wide variety of animals and critters, not just dogs and cats and I believe every dog deserves the same level of care and attention, regardless of breed, or size. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know your furry family member! I make my own schedule at work, so am able to put your animal friend first and foremost! I'm here for you, rain or shine! As your sitter, I happily follow any and all instructions to the letter. Written, or verbal rules accommodated equally. I'm happy to have video chats with you when in your place of residence to ensure your animal friends you're always nearby.
“Sam was great! My whole family loved that she sent photos and updates every day! On our puppy’s birthday, she even got him a b-day hat and treat to help him celebrate! She communicated wonderfully and Fozzie LOVES her!!! So grateful to have found her! Thank you, Sam!!!”
About: I was a dog sitter for the same dog for 4 years. He was my neighbors dog and is a beautiful golden lab. I would take him for daily walks when my neighbors were working or on vacation. I would feed him his three daily meals and we would play fetch in the backyard. When his owners were on vacation I would stay at their house with him and his cat brother. I would love nights with them being curled up on the couch together. I’m currently a full-time student and part-time Patient Care Technician at a hospital. I have a lot of free time on my hands (surprisingly) and I love animals so why not spend my spare time taking care of others pets! I take online classes so I’m available throughout the day. With my job I only work two days a week overnight, so finding time should be easy to take care of your fur baby. Depending on if you need cat or dog services or both-I’m open to however you would like me to cater to your pets needs. I will keep up with their scheduled feeding times, walks/potty times, brushing their fur, and of course all the cuddles and pets in the world!
“Kylee is very knowledgeable and experienced with animals. She was flexible and accommodating with my pets' various needs (2 dogs and 2 cats, 2 of whom are senior with health conditions and special dietary and supplement needs). Everything was kept clean and she was communicative throughout. All of our pets were happy and relaxed upon our return. I highly recommend Kylee and her team!”

I am home during the week so your dog can enjoy a calm, relaxed day. Your pup will get love, attention, and a comfortable place to stay while you’re away! I’ll take your dog on walks, make sure they’re fed, and handle potty breaks in the mornings and evenings so they can relax and enjoy a calm day at home.
“Stephanie stayed with my dogs for two nights while I was away and did an amazing job. While she was there, sent photos and updates which was lovely. And not only did she take the dogs for their scheduled walks but she spent quality time with them at the house which I’m sure the dogs LOVED. I hope to use her again soon!”

About: I've cared for pets my whole life. I've kept aquariums, grew up with dogs, even raised two puppies in my time.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dundee Township
I had a wonderful experience with Jessica. She took amazing care of my three dogs and treated them like her own, which immediately put my mind at ease while I was away. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly very experienced with animals. I can tell my dogs really loved being with her. Beyond caring for the dogs, she also went above and beyond around the house, taking care of extra chores without being asked. Coming home to everything in great shape made such a difference and really showed how thoughtful and responsible she is. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable for their pets and home.
Lauren was great! She was dependable, communicative and conscientious. We were gone for 6 days and she looked after our home and our little buddy. She sent us a cute pic or video almost everyday day which made me smile and feel secure that he was cared for and having fun. We would like to have her back next time! 😃
Lydia sat for my 2 dogs for 8 days while I was visiting family. The dogs did just fine and seemed happy when I came home. The deal was to stay in my house where they felt safe and at home. They stayed at her house instead, not what I had planned. But they were safe and taken care of and that is what matters. I received a few photos and minimal communication. It is hard to leave our loved ones at home, but everything turned out fine.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Dundee Township walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Dundee Township maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Dundee Township choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
