About: Hello! My name is Marieta and I live in a house with a large yard in Edwardsville, IL. I would love to watch your dog(s) for the day and/or overnight. I am an experienced dog walker & have also cared for dogs, ranging from small to large breeds, for the last couple of years. I absolutely love dogs - I've had dogs all throughout my life until recently. I work from home, thus, I am able to provide constant attention, long walks, and overall engagement. My husbans can assist any time that I may be busy. He is also a pet lover! We are available almost all week and weekend days/nights. We are flexible and have no problem with last minute calls. We are also available to watch your pet(s) for an extended period of time! I currently work from home and much flexibility to spend lots of time with your dog. We have a large yard and live in a great neighborhood for walks. We recently lost our soul dog of 9 years so we’re very experienced with the level of comfort and attention that a dog needs throughout the day.
“Mary took great care of Craig! He is not quick to trust many people and really seemed to be comfortable with Mary. He got to play outside, go on walks, and take naps- all of his favorite things.”

“Matt was an exceptional sitter for my fur baby Willow. Prior to the boarding, he recommended a Meet & Greet. Willow immediately went into his home and began socializing with him. He provided daily updates and the pictures of her bonding with his family.. She waa at home sleeping over with his daughter and relaxing with him in a lounger. I would definitely board Willow again with Matt and his family.”

“Tina and her husband were wonderful caretakers for our sweet terrier Lilly. They were so welcoming when we got there. Their setup was perfect. They had a fenced back yard. They also took her on walks, brushed her, doted on her, let her sleep with them and made her feel so at home that when we came to pick her up she wanted us to come in instead of running out to the car as usual. She wanted all her peeps to be together. That is true testimony to the wonderful experience she had. Tina also kept us updated every couple of days with photos and gave us a full report when we came to pick up. Our girl had no problems so no more reporting was required. We were delighted with their services!”

“Ashley was an outstanding dog sitter! She was incredibly nice and communicated excellently throughout my trip. She provided plenty of pictures, keeping me updated and at ease. Her kids adored my pup, giving her lots of love and attention. It was clear my dog was in great hands, enjoying every moment. I highly recommend Ashley for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter. She exceeded all expectations!”

“Penelope had a great time! Julia sent pictures for us which kept me at ease. It was a great vacation for both of us. I would definitely use her next time.”


“Francie was amazing! Gave updates every day and eased my anxieties about leaving my babies with a rover sitter for the first time. I highly recommend her and will use her services next trip :)”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a little girl and to this day I rescue animals or I give them a safe home until I can find there forever homes. I’m a stay at home mom looking to make money for my kids. I’m available all day every day. I run on routine. I have a fenced in yard and a chocolate lab who loves to have friends to play with. I am always attentive and aware of all or any animals around me

“My puppy Bandit has never stayed away from home before. I was a bit nervous about leaving him with anyone for so many days/nights but he did great. Katie was great with bandit and I would definitely take him back again.”

“I was sort of worried about Aztec we have never been separated the sitter was awesome she sent me photos and video all through the week that I was gone so I felt comfort after the second day knowing that he was happy where he was so she was great when I go out of town I'm going to use her again and I will refer her to everyone thank you and merry Christmas God bless”

About: I have cats and dogs my entire life and have multiple in my own home. They’re safe with me :) I promise to update you as needed. I am a 5th grade teacher and currently on summer break! I do work part time in the evenings and some mornings on the weekends. Let me get in some exercise in with your pups! I promise to love your babies as my own! I will respect your home/your pet as I would like my own respected. I am trustworthy and will provide the best care I possibly can!
“Jennifer is such a great sitter! She provided daily updates with info and photos, and sometimes videos too. I knew my pup was having a fun time with her pups and I didn't need to worry about him at all! I highly recommend Jennifer!”

“Raina has watched our girl twice now and we really appreciate her. Great communication, pictures, video. Her home is setup great and we are very grateful we found such a professional and caring dog sitter. Thank you Raina!”

“If you’re looking for a dog sitter who goes above and beyond, Keri is it. She watched my pup recently and absolutely knocked it out of the park. When my flight got canceled last minute, Keri didn’t even blink—she just handled it. She made an extra trip to get food for my dog without me even asking, and stayed in close contact the entire time. I got photos and videos almost every day (sometimes multiple times), and I never once had to wonder how things were going. No other sitter I’ve used has ever been this proactive, thoughtful, and communicative. Keri is the kind of sitter you hope you’ll find but rarely do. She’s a total gem.”

“Sarah and the service she offered was awesome! Sarah made sure to communicate, send daily photos, and asked questions to better serve my fur baby 🐶❤️ If needed, I will definitely book Sarah again!”

“Simone was great with our pup! This was the longest we've ever left him so I was a little worried about how he'd react. She made him comfortable and he always seemed happy if every picture/video. She was always responsive, sent updates to ease my mind, and provided a safe and clean place for our furry family member. We will definitely book with Simone again and would recommend her to anyone in the area.”

“Starr is absolutely wonderful! She took fantastic care of our baby! Sent a lot of pictures. You can tell she truly loves animals. We will use Starr whenever we travel. We highly recommend Starr, you won’t be disappointed.”

“Lauren took great care of our 6 month old pup! She was responsive and easy to work with. Thank you for letting her be a part of your pack while we were out of town!”

“Robert did an excellent job taking care of our dog that by the time I went to pick him up, he decided that he wants to continue to starly on the couch with his friend. I had to coax off the couch so that we could get going home since it was late when I picked up him. I would recommend him for anyone who needs their furrikids to be taken care in there absence.”

When we brought Cooper to Cynthia’s house for his second stay, he excitedly ran into her house which is unlike any other arrangement in the past. Cynthia sends us a few photos or videos of Cooper playing and being handsome throughout his stay. When we pick him up he is excited to see us but not drop dead exhausted. We are so happy with the care Cooper receives. We will be booking again.
