House Sitting in Elgin

“Katelyn kept us informed about Bella throughout our vacation. She sent lots of pictures too. We will definitely be using her for all of our long-term dog sitting needs.”

“Kory was an amazing sitter for our dog! Very communicative, reliable, and caring throughout the entire stay. We would absolutely book with Kory again and highly recommend!”

“Michelle is fantastic. First and foremost, she is a genuinely good person who has an affinity for animals. Coordinating with Michelle was easy and she was extremely flexible. It was my first time leaving one of my boys who is extremely attached to me. That was not without its hiccups, but Michelle kept me posted and took great care of my boys.”

“Kellie did an amazing job with our aging pup Jordyn and our goldfish Lared! She was excellent at communication and did an amazing job! We couldn’t be more happy with our choice, and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking!”

James M.

“Diego was wonderful all around! And we will definitely reach out again for support. As an overnight sitter, he left the house great. My toy poodle is getting older, more fussy with going out and eating and Diego had great patience with her. His communication was stellar, from the meet & greet to when we were away. Misty was very relaxed and happy when I arrived. With previous sitters she would be more withdrawn. Overall, I’m so happy Misty had great company!”

“I was a bit worried as I have had a previous bad expirence with a sitter ,who a friend said was good When Willow and I met Tamara we both like her instantly. After talking a bit about Willows care she brought in her "in Training" Service Dog Smokey. I never worried while I was gone. When I got home I could tell that Willow had a great weekend. I will definitely use her again. She is knowledgeable, caring, and willing to pass on her information.”

“This was the second time I’ve booked Serena, and she was great with my blind/deaf dog, Shiola. She was responsive, gave consistent updates, and was very respectful of my home. It’s nice to know that my dog is in good hands when I’m out of town, and I hope I’m able to book her again for my next trip!”

Casey D.

“Jordyn took great care of Harvey - she kelp us updated on their adventures with pictures and was flexible with timing when it took us a little longer to get out of the house. Can’t wait to have her take care of Harvey again!”

Nicole L.

“My pets really loved Cheyenne!! They were happy & healthy upon our return. Will definitely rebook with her in the future 🙂”

Vita W.

“Sierra is a great pet sitter and a wonderful person. She is conscientious and caring, always worrying about our pets and ensuring that they are safe and comfortable. She is reliable and trust worthy. We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing a cat, dog or house sitter :)”

Heidi L.

“This is our first time using Rover as our pet sitter provider and they didn't disappoint my expectations. The process of choosing and meeting your dog caretaker was easy, transparent and reliable. We chose Ms. Kimmie and let me tell you, my dog fell in love with her from the beginning. Cane Corsos are really good on reading people and their intentions, they never let their guard down. Our baby was so into Ms. Kimmie, and that right there was a good sign for us. At that moment, we knew that she was the one. We understood that our baby was gonna be in good hands and our house as well. Ms. Kimmie kept us updated with kahlua activities and even send us pictures of our baby having fun with her. We just claimed Ms. Kimmie as Kahlua Godmother and our personal dog caretaker from now on. If you are looking for a reliable, easy going, fun and attentive dog caretaker I can assure you that Ms. Kimmie is the best choice.”

Jessica F.

“Took care of our dogs and did a great job keeping us updated on how they were doing. Dogs were very happy when we came home!”

“Shane is an absolute gem, we were so lucky to find him. We have a 2 year old Bernedoodle named Yoshi who is a habitual sock/fabric swallower so we felt more comfortable with someone coming to our house and he was completely onboard. Shane was very responsive the entire time we were away, he sent pictures, and gave us great updates which made us feel completely comfortable. Shane will be our first call when we go out of town again!”

About: I have owned 3 dogs over the past 20 years. I have watched, walked, and cared for the dogs, cats, birds, turtles, and reptiles. I have trained my own pets and I’m very comfortable meeting new animals. I’m a part-time remotely working licensed realtor so I’ve been fingerprinted and FBI background checked for your safety and peace of mind. I’m currently working part-time from home, mostly on my computer so I have plenty of time to play, walk, and care for your pets. I will carefully adhere to your pets’ schedule, routine, and instructions to make sure your pet has a safe and happy experience in my care.

About: I have 3 dogs of my own and have cared for them since they were 8 weeks old. I know how to administer medication (topicaly, pills or injections) I try to incorporate some light training when i'm watching over a pet. I have experience taking care of small, medium and large dogs I have 3 dogs at home so my schedule revolves around them basically. I work from home so i am available to feed them at the same time every day and give my dog her anxiety pills at the same time every night. My day consist of breaksfast after morning potty, potty breaks every 2 to 3 hours, play time at lunch time, dinner than play time until they get a dental treat before bed. In my client's home, i will follow all your rules, feeding schedule and administer any medication that your fur baby needs. If your fur baby needs to be crated or is not allowed on the furniture i will follow all instructions provided and make sure your baby doesn't steer away from their routine while you're away. My schedule is pretty flexible when it comes to work so i can take your dog on as many walks as you would like and step away for some play time if necessary.

About: Hi there! I have experience house/pet sitting for my colleagues and feel Rover is perfect for me to get to love and care for pets as I no longer have any of my own. I had a Dachshund for 17 years and have an extra soft spot for senior pets. I’ve also fostered in the past! Because I work remotely full time, I’m able to be at your home full time to give pets more companionship, supervision, potty breaks, medications, and consistency throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I also understand how important trust and communication are while you’re away so I love sending photo and video updates if owners enjoy them. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions. I treat every home respectfully and every pet with the same care, patience, and affection I would want for my own.

“Lauren has house sat for us several times now. She's super responsive, takes great care of our pets and leaves the house in great shape! As an anxious dog/cat mom, Lauren always puts my mind at ease with transparent updates. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Trevor was a wonderful and professional sitter for our two pups. He stayed in our home and spoiled our dogs with attention and care. We got regular updates and pictures and came home to an extremely clean house. I highly recommend Trevor and plan to use him again for future stays! Thanks, Trevor, for everything!!”

Amy S.

“Valda was able to help me out very last minute when I needed someone to check on my pups. She sent cute photos and followed instructions. Very grateful for her!”

Stephanie S.

“Daniela was absolutely wonderful! Our furbabies were so well loved and if she saw a need, she took care of it before I even had a chance to ask her. She was so kind and responsive! So thankful for her care she showed for our senior pets!”
