1. Bennett M.
“Bennett loves dogs; especially goldens. He is a strong young man who loves exercise and who will love on your dog/s in your absence! Give him a try!”
2. Stephanie K.
“Stephanie was amazing! She came over for a meet and greet on short notice and stayed for an hour to answer all of my questions, and meet my pup. She came over every day to walk her while I was away and my family was working. She even checked to make sure my dog was given her medicine and gave it to her if needed. I got messages/updates and pictures every day which really put me at ease. Not only did she take excellent care of my baby, but she also checked in on me to see how my trip was, which was really nice of her. Stephanie really went above and beyond just walking Charlie, she took the time to make sure she had everything she needed and gave her plenty of love. I will absolutely use her in the future!!”

“Danielle kept my fur baby for 3 days and he almost didn't want to come home! She's so nice, and can tell her heart is huge! She'll definitely be my first call anytime my fur baby needs some TLC!”
4. Allie K.
“Allie used the app and I knew when my dog was picked up and dropped off. She provided a "report card" on each walk - details on potty breaks, water breaks, pictures, and any other information I needed to know about. She is kind, professionally, and I would recommend Allie. ”
5. Luy K.

6. Parker B.
“Parker has done an amazing job looking after my fur babies for years. Her love of animals is obvious and treats my babies like they are hers. I never have to worry about my babies when she is watching them for me.”
7. Grace M.
“I value Grace's help very much she has been helping me walk and feed my two chihuahuas for almost two weeks while I'm at work. She is very patient and listen to all my concerns since my pets are on the older side and can be a bit difficult with new people.”
8. Elena F.
About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember. We've had cats, a dog, and several guinea pigs so I am familiar with their behaviors. I've been pet sitting through Rover now for a year and I'm currently volunteering at Anderson Animal Shelter with the cats. A few years ago I volunteered in the wildlife department there and learned to feed baby birds. I have incubated three different litters of abandoned duck eggs and raised them for about a week before giving them to the shelter to live a proper duck life. I currently am not employed but I am in nursing school during the regular school year. I pretty much have open availability year round because I just commute to Waubonsee a couple times a week and have one clinical day. I make sure every animal is well cared for. I have lots of patience for animals and will do whatever is necessary to make sure they eat and go potty. It's important to me that the animals are comfortable with myself, so I will spend extra time with them in order to get them to that point.
9. Erik S.
“Erik is friendly, reliable and knowledgeable w dog and pet care. Animals love him! He has a real sense for what they need and is responsible about their care. He has even helped me when my dogs got skunked to delouse the smell and it worked!! Would definitely hire Erik again!”
10. Ryan M.
“Ryan has had dogs his entire life and is absolutely amazing with them! He has great attention to detail when caring for dogs. I would have Ryan take care of my dogs any day in a heartbeat!”
11. Ann S.
“Thank you Ann for helping out so much with my senior dog who really needs a lot of help. He is not easy to take care of but my mind was at ease while out of town.”
12. Tiffany M.
“I highly recommend Tiffany to care for your preciouse pet(s). We have used her several times to watch our two dogs, Tilly and Willow. Now, they greet her like she is family when she walks in. It is such a relief to know that not only are they loved and cared for, but they love her just as much. You will not find anyone with a bigger heart for animals and who absolutely loves what she does.”
13. Caroline F.
“Caroline has been walking Frito twice a week for the past 6 weeks. Frito adores her and she is communicative, responsible, prompt and flexible. Also, when it has been cold out, she takes Frito for small walks (as I have asked) and then spends time playing with him and loving on him for the remainder of the time. When Frito was having digestive problems on one of her walking days, I contacted her that morning and she moved around her schedule to be able to give him an extra visit to ensure he was ok. I was so grateful and it gave me the peace of mind to leave him knowing she would be there to care for him. I knew he would be in great hands and that Caroline would communicate every detail with me. Not only is she great with dogs but she is just good people. If you are looking for a reliable, friendly, kind, dog person you need look no further!”
14. Abby S.
About: I grew up around dogs my entire life. And recently, getting my own dog who’s 2 years old, taking care of Spike like he’s my child. I currently am a full-time student from Monday-Thursdays. I work part time, looking for extra money for my future! Please reach out if you need anything for your pup! whatever time fits your need :) Hope to hear from you! Unfortunately, I do not have a fenced yard, but I have a spacious neighborhood for your pup to take great walks around. And my fur baby for company 🐾
15. Kristin S.
“If you choose Kristin to hang out with your dog, I guarantee your best friend will receive every ounce of love and attention she has to offer (note: it's a lot). Kristin is one of the kindest, most loving people I have ever met, and loves all of the world's creatures, especially furry ones. She's responsible, a hard worker, an avid walker, and quite in tune with the needs of others (humans and non-humans alike). If Kristin watches your pet, you know they'll have a good time while being looked after as if they were her own.”

18. Michael H.
“Our Franny is a super dog, but she has to stay home when we go out of town. Especially when we fly somewhere. So travel planning always includes arranging a dog and house sitter. So we were happy to hear that Mike H was between jobs and able to stay at our house for 5 days last Fall. We knew that he was a responsible lad and had served with the Coast Guard. We also had him stay for 8 days in early April. Franny was happy with Mike. Being a rescue, she has some idiosyncrasies, for instance with walking and encountering other dogs, but we left instructions and Mike followed them well. Mike also texted us with updates and pictures of Franny. When we got back Mike had left the house as clean as when we had left, had put our trash out on trash day, and texted us with an overall summary of Franny and his time together. We highly recommend Mike as a responsible, caring dog and/or house sitter.”
19. Brenna H.
“My dog Dusty loves Brenna far more than he loves me! So if you're looking for someone that will go above and beyond Brenna is the perfect match!”
20. Amy F.
“Amy is a very loving person! She is always excited to see our dogs and has cared for them when I have been out of town. They are always excited to see her! She is responsible and dependable. I would definitely recommend her to be a dog sitter!”
