House Sitting in Elburn

“Erika was by far the best rover experience we’ve had. She went well above and beyond of what we expected. We were away from our phones most of the weekend for our wedding, and she kept us updated every few hours. Never once felt any worry! She left our house in a better condition than when we left it 😁”

Taylor H.

“Anja and Josh were so great. They have been excellent communicators throughout the entire process. They took time to come see the house, meet the dogs and asked lots of questions prior to their stay. They are so personable, very responsible and amazing with making the dogs feel at peace while we were gone. They sent us lots of pics and provided lots of updates. Would definitely have them watch our dogs again!”

Emma F.

“Ann did a fantastic job taking care of my boys. I got some photos every day and she kept me up to date on how they were doing throughout the weekend. She took extra precautions that would not have even crossed my mind like using long leads in the backyard, but it made doubly sure nothing could go wrong. It was a pleasure to work with her.”

Dan B.

“Erika is wonderful with my dog. He has warmed up to her. Neighbors shared how much they walked and how calm he was with her. I recommend her but not on the days I'll need her in the future”

“I booked Megan for a second time. This time was for a long weekend trip and she was again amazing with my pup. Stuck to his walk and food schedule. Included photos of my pup while I was away. Communication was strong and I didn’t have to worry about anything while on vacation. 100% recommend!”

Ryan S.

“Sophia did a PHENOMENAL job!! I had a dog sitter cancel on me before a business trip with a 2 hour notice. Sophia last second came in and saved the day ! My pets absolutely loved her and she gave them great attention and care! I will 100% be booking her services again !”

Jack C.

“We interviewed several people to house sit and watch our.pets. We chose Sarah to house sit for our 2 adult German shepherds. Most people are intimidated by them. They absolutely love her and she is so good with them. We have had Sarah for almost 1 year, and she has not let us down.”

Gabriella K.

“Vlad was professional, on time, and kept us updated throughout the booking. Its was comforting having Vlad and Madi stay the weekend in our home and care for our 3 dogs. Vlad & Madi gave our dogs plenty of walks and attention. We'd definitely recommend and will use them again.”

About: I have always had a pet in the house since before i could walk. I love every single different type of pet and have had just about every type of pet you can have. I am a super active girl so I would love to hangout and play with the younger hyper pets but I can also relax and take care of the older senior pets. I have trained all my own dogs but i wouldn’t call myself a pro. But, if I could help out and I needed to help train i would be more than willing to. I am currently working part-time for 2 different jobs right now, but still have a ton of free time to be able to take care of your pets! I am not actively in school so the only schedule we have to work around is my work schedule but that should be to hard:) I would be able to walk the dogs and could quickly learn their routines and what the owner preferences are. With cats I would help with litter boxes if needed and would gladly play and hangout with the cats. Along with the dogs aswell of course.

“Grace did a great job taking care of our Aussie and Border Collie. She was on time and made sure thye had food and meds on time each day. She sent us pics of both throughout her stay and we couldn't be happier. We will definitely use her again.”

“We can’t say enough good things about Don!! We have a new puppy and had to leave town due to a death in the family. Don cared for our little guy like he was his own. That meant taking him out as often as needed including 3 am! I could tell he was fantastic with dogs when he came over to meet Mitty. Don sent pics and updates the whole time we were gone and he stayed late when our flight home was delayed. We came home to a happy dog (who is missing Don I’m sure) and our house was perfectly clean which is hard to do with a 12 week puppy! So thankful we found Don, would give him more stars if I could and just hope he doesn’t get too booked up in the future!”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my seven years of hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals—not just dogs and cats, but also birds, chickens, and horses. I bring a calm, confident presence that helps animals feel at ease, even those with special needs or unique temperaments. I understand that every pet is different and take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. My background in animal care goes beyond the basics, and I treat each pet like my own—with patience, respect, and genuine love. Whether it’s a cuddle session, a long walk, or specialized care, I’m here to provide reliable, attentive service you can count on. I currently work full-time, but I have time Saturdays and Sundays for petsitting. I usually work shorter hours Tuesday and Wednesday, so i’m available as well Tuesday through Thursday. I always follow your instructions whether that be taking your dog out on a long lead, or constant watching in your fenced in yard. I make sure they get fed on time, potty breaks if they need them a certain time apart, ie every hour, etc.

About: At 6'4", I might look like a gentle giant—and that's exactly what I am when it comes to pets. I can definitely handle your big boy, but I love the little guys as well! Animals naturally trust me, and I treat every pet like they're my own. Whether it's high-energy playtime or calm companionship, I match their vibe and make them feel safe. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love what I do. Big heart, big presence, and even bigger care for your furry family. I grew up caring for the dog that I begged my parents for every day, so I'm an expert by now! I can't wait to meet your fur baby! I'm free all summer to take are of your loyal companions, ample time to make sure they are well taken care of, day or night. I offer great pet care from your home, whether it be: walks, feeding time, or just a buddy to keep them company. As a general precaution, for the safety of my pets and yours, I will only be doing pet care at your home. I am great at following any special instructions or adhering to systems/rules you have in place for your individual pets. So please let me know what they need, and I'll make sure they are happy, healthy, and well taken care of.

About: I have been pet sitting for three years now. I have many repeat customers, and I have gotten to know some little babies very well. As a traveler, experiencing the joy of caring for a pet while exploring new areas is very exciting for me. I love the idea that I am able to give my kindness to the pets while providing the peace that their pets and their house are being taken care of to the owners. I have taken care of pets that needs special medication, pets that are on certain schedules or have to be fed a certain way, pets that seem skittish at first but warm up to me quickly, and pets that no one else but the owner has been able to become friendly with except for me. I am an animal magnet. And I am the one that yells “puppy! “If I see a dog in public. Lol. I’m a self-employed artist. This allows me to have a flexible schedule. I can create anywhere and have taken my work to pet sitting jobs. I like to get to know my new furry friends and build up a trusting relationship through kindly following established routines and expectations. Once this trust is created, it’s all fun and games.

“We were a little nervous, having never used Rover before, about letting a stranger into our home to watch our pups. After meeting Caroline prior to our trip, we knew our dogs and home were in good hands. Caroline was quick to respond to all of our messages prior to and while on our trip. She was amazing and we will definitely use her again.”

I do have a crate of it is need.

About: I have been walking and taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old, ranging from small dogs to huge dogs. I have experience with my own senior dog and am sensitive to the needs of dogs who are old or have unique health issues. Additionally, I have experience with other types of pets like insects, arachnids, amphibians, and reptiles. I am currently between jobs, so I am available for pet care needs on both weekdays and some weekends. I have a very open availability and I am happy to shift my schedule to match you and your pets' needs! At your home, I can take your pets outside on or off-leash, or let them out into a fenced-in yard with supervision. I enjoy sitting with and keeping pets company, even when they are relaxing or sleeping. I will work with you and your pets' needs in your home to ensure everyone is happy and healthy. :)
