“We cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience Violet gave to our pups and their humans. She went above and beyond and they both adore her as do we. She’s amazing, kind and very good with our dogs . We are so lucky to have her”



“Courtney is the first Rover.com professional we've used to drop-in visit for our cat (Stewie) while we were away. We selected Courtney based on prior customer feedback and given that she has a number of repeat clients. She was terrific in everyway possible and we will be using her for Stewie's care for all future trips. A few of Courtney's traits that make her a 5-star Rover.com professional include her reliability, her clear and consistent communication, and her obvious love for animals! From the moment we met her and introduced her to Stewie we felt confident he would be safe and happy in her care.”


“On short notice, Ginia responded and delivered to take care of our 2 Yorkshire Terriers. The dogs took to her immediately. We couldn't have been more confident that the dogs were in good hands. She's our "go to" sitter for sure.”


About: I offer a personalized boarding experience by caring for one dog at a time. This allows me to give your pup my full attention and keep the environment low-stress. I do allow occasional short overlaps (a few hours to less than a day) during transitions, but never more than that. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my priority. With over 19 years of personal dog experience, I believe dogs are family and deserve the best life we can give them. I’m a stay-at-home mom with two kids (1 and 4 years old), and our furry visitors often enjoy the extra love and attention from them. If your dog enjoys children and a homey atmosphere, they’ll fit right in. We’re home most of the day, and our baby-proofed home makes a safe space for both kids and dogs! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom. My children and I are home for most of the day, so there’s plenty of time and attention to give to the dogs in my care. Whether it’s welcoming dogs into our home or making time for walks and visits, I’m available throughout the day—aside from the occasional errand. Our home is a safe and loving environment, making it a great place for dogs to feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to cater to your pet’s specific needs to ensure a successful visit. I can take your dog for a walk, play in the yard (and clean up after them), or enjoy indoor playtime. After our meet and greet, I’ll ask you to fill out a detailed boarding form to make sure I fully understand your pet’s wants and needs. I’ll also send you updates and photos to keep you informed about how your dog is doing!

“Kayla did daily checks in for my three cats while I was away and everything went perfectly. We met up a few days before, and she sent me updates each day with pictures. She’s an excellent communicator! I look forward to working with her again. Thanks Kayla!”

“Ryan has been our puppy, Fiona’s, drop in/walking companion since December, and he has been great! Always punctual, very communicative, flexible on timing, and I know he is taking good care of my adorable little 8 month old pug! I feel comfortable knowing he has had prior puppy experience, so he understands what to expect.”


About: Hello, my name is Anna, and I’m a dedicated and experienced dog caregiver with a lifelong passion for animals. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of owning and caring for three wonderful dogs—a Bichon Frise, a Lab mix, and a Pitbull—each of whom taught me something unique about loyalty, love, and responsibility. My Experience I have hands-on experience managing all aspects of dog ownership, including training, daily walks, vet appointments, and all related care expenses. I'm comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes and am confident handling multiple dogs at once. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a gentle senior, I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. I work full-time, but pet care is a meaningful part of my life and something I make time for. I’m available for evening walks, weekend dog sitting, and flexible drop-ins. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I always ensure they get the attention and love they deserve, no matter how busy life gets. In my home, pets stay in a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I follow their usual routine to help them feel at ease. In a client’s home, I respect your space and stick to your pet’s schedule—feeding, walking, and giving them the love and attention they’re used to. Wherever your pet is, I care for them like they’re my own.

About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs my whole life. My family and friends have relied on me to provide the care for their pets when they were away.

I am available Friday afternoon and full time on the weekends. I first would introduce myself to the pet before I start caring for him or her. This establishes the trust between myself and the animal.

We have a dog of our own - a friendly, small mixed breed rescue.

Elwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Caroline did an amazing job with our cat! Over the course of our vacation, she made it her duty to keep us informed, reassure us with pictures, and as a bonus she maintained the tidiness of our home. Would definitely recommend her services and choose her again as a sitter in the future. Thank you for taking care of our precious cat Caroline!

Susan was great! Two of the cats I have are shy and they both came out and socialized with Susan right off the bat. They loved her and it made me feel good knowing the kitties were in such good hands She kept me well informed on how they were doing. I can’t say enough about how happy I was.
