About: I love all types of dogs! I grew up always having a dog in the family, and also have been caring for friends' and neighbors' dogs since childhood. I have experience handling larger dogs, and caring for senior dogs. I have a flexible schedule and am able to work around caring for your dog as needed. My husband also works from home full time, so one of us will always be around to provide love and care. I have a fenced in backyard and two senior dogs who love to have visitors. They get along easily with most dogs, but we'd want to do a meet and greet to ensure everyone gets along well!
“The most sweetest-kindest sitter I have ever met. Rhonda cares for your pet as if it was hers. My Nugget and little Auntie had a dogspectular time. THANK YOU SOO MUCH ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🐕🐕🐕🐶💐🙌🙏🏽💐✨️”
“Robby and Nikki watched our 1 year old 60 lb pup Ella for the second time over the holidays/new year. Ella was extremely excited to be dropped off- bounding up the stairs and inside without even looking backwards to say goodbye! Every day we got detailed updates of what Ella did complete with pictures :)”
“Kae was amazing! Coordinated a pickup and delivery, handled my pets with care and provided comforting updates! 10/10 and absolutely will be booking again.”
“First timer to book through Rover and it was a smashing success! Juliet seemed well cared for and entertained while her family left her for a long weekend. I would definitely book with John again. I think that Juliet got to hang with another dog put her at ease in a new home. And loved that we received periodic photos of her enjoying her vacation. Thank you!”
“Kate was absolutely amazing! I boarded my dog at Kate's for a week. Prior to the boarding, she was exceptional at communicating with me and answering all of my many questions and making sure I was very confident in my decision to board with her. That confidence grew even stronger when I dropped off my dog, and saw that her dog, cat and children all warmly welcomed my dog, and I could tell my dog immediately felt at home. Throughout the stay she provided updates and pictures as well as went above and beyond in multiple ways. I will definitely be booking with Kate again and highly recommend her to take care of your pet!”
“Leslie went above and beyond to make sure my baby Canelito felt safe and comfortable which made me so relieved. As soon as my fur baby met her his tail started wagging :) Leslie was attentive to his needs and provided timely updates that gave me a peace of mind. My first time using this app and booking a service, I would definitely recommend leaving your fur babies under Leslie’s care, such a sweet, caring, and kind sitter! Will be booking again in the near future :)”
“Kandyce was great with our dog and with us! She kept in touch and was responsive, while also being patient with our dog's idiosyncrasies. The dog loved playing with Kandyce's dogs, too. Highly recommend!”
“Highly recommend!! Jayme was a great caretaker for Harvey! Upon our meet and greet, I could tell she was responsible & attentive, and that she really cared for dogs. Harvey had a blast and we will definitely be booking again in the future! Thank you Jayme! :)”
“Tatiana was dedicated to providing good care to our 6 month old cat and consistently provided updates with photos for the whole stay. Our cat genuinely looked relaxed and happy while we were gone.”
“Janeth is wonderful! She took such great care of our little one like she was her own. Communication was great all throughout the week and we enjoyed getting regular updates on all the fun she was having! Will definitely rebook with Janeth - highly recommend!”
“Jose is fantastic! We've booked him twice now for our 1.5 year old golden retriever, and we never worry about her in Jose's care. He provides multiple updates throughout the day and sends tons of pictures of her on walks and playing/resting after. She is excited to see him each time we arrive and is exhausted when we pick her up from all the fun she had. We will continue booking Jose as our #1 Rover pick for trips to come!”
“Elliot was absolutely amazing with my dog Bron! He sent pictures everyday and kept me updated on how he was doing which made me feel extremely comfortable. Elliot even helped me fix Brons issues with walking on a leash and Bron came back so well behaved! Thank you so much Elliot for taking care of Bron, will definitely reach out again for future trips.”
“Chelsea and Winston were both so sweet and caring to my elder dog, Dimitri! This is the first time where I felt a Rover sitter sent the right amount of daily pictures of Dimitri :D Additionally, she was so accommodating and communicative when we had a sudden trip change and had to pick our dog up earlier. I will absolutely be reaching out to Chelsea again to watch Dimitri!”
“This was Chase's second time with Ashley and it was just as good as the first! She is very attentive and sends plenty of pictures. She put a medicated foam in his itchy spots twice per day. And chase got plenty of play time and attention. Highly recommend booking with Ashley!”
“Camilo was great! Had a rough first night with Wren between the rain and a new place. He was willing to still watch her for the weekend and even found ways to keep her attention occupied. Flexible with drop off/pick up times and had great communication. I would definitely recommend.”
“Another great stay for Roisin with Tammy. She is exhausted but in good form and Tammy updated me with pictures from the weekend. Roisin was nervous at first but warmed up once she knew she recognized the house. Thanks so much for taking good care of my baby!”
“Shannon is fantastic! She took amazing care of our dog and provided photos and messages every day while she had her. We will definitely be booking her the next time we go out of town. A++++”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elmwood Park
Jasmine was a fantastic host and took wonderful care of our girl Kas! Her photo updates throughout the stay made us so happy and reassured us that Kas was settling in and feeling comfortable. We’re so glad we found such a caring, wonderful sitter nearby. We’ll definitely be back in the future. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful experience using Lucy as our dog sitter. They did a great job communicating with us and I knew my dog was in good reliable hands. They sent us frequent updates and did a wonderful job with my senior dog’s medical needs. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog sitter. I plan to rebook with them in the future.
Michelle was phenomenal with our puppy! She provided updates and gave her excellent, hands-on, truly sweet care. She bought her little toys to match her breed and sent them home with us (so kind) and was so polite, professional, flexible, and quick to communicate. We can’t wait to work with her again!
Cindy was great! She was open to meeting before the booking to make sure Dexter and her got along. During Dexter's stay Cindy sent photos and kept me updated on how he was doing. Cindy eased some nerves, only hung out with Dex, and we would definitely book again!
Kaitlin was fantastic! Great communication and updates during my dog’s boarding stay. She was able to help out last minute when I had a caregiver cancel. She took my dog for walks and he was a happy pup when I picked him up. I would definitely board with Kaitlin again!
Courtney was terrific with my dog. My dog has anxiety and doesn't eat good when I'm away. Courtney went above and beyond to help her eat. She's very laid back which is what my dog needs. Really knows her dog stuff as her career has always been working with dogs plus her vet tech degree. I would recommend her to anyone.
Yuliya was wonderful with my pups! She’s a phenomenal communicator and kept me updated with plenty of pictures while I was traveling. From the jump, it was easy to see that my boys were super comfortable with her and made themselves at home in lovely space. Thanks again, Yuliya!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
