Rowan has been the best dog and cat sitter we’ve had since using this app—10/10, highly recommend. They’re great with animals, always send photos and updates, and are incredibly reliable and attentive.

Kara was great with all our dogs (and tortoise)! One of our dogs is old and needs insulin and a diaper and another is very stressed around strangers. Kara took the time to let the dogs get to know her and everything went really well.

About: I have been around animals my whole life, and I have done dog and cat sitting a few times over the years for neighbors or friends. I’ve had cats and dogs in my home since 2014, and I am very comfortable around both. I currently have a full time job; I work primarily in the mornings with evening shifts thrown in here and there. I don’t do much outside of that, so I am pretty available otherwise. I want to keep all pets feeling comfortable, following their routines/schedule, and keeping them company (within their boundaries). I no longer live with my cats and miss them greatly, so I will make sure they receive extra attention, pets, and playtime (within their boundaries).

Theodore was great! Our dogs Harley and Zoey loved him and we couldn’t ask for anyone better! He gave us updates on how they were doing and sent pictures and we didn’t have to worry at all about how they were doing when we were away on vacation! We could just relax and enjoy ourselves! There was an incident at the end of his time watching them where Harley chewed a couple things, but that was only because he was anxious because Theodore had a family emergency and had to leave in the middle of the night and was totally understandable and not his fault! We would definitely recommend him to housesit and watch your pets and we will definitely be using him again in the future!

Brittany was the best surprise. Our sitter cancelled the day before we left. We were worried about leaving our pup with someone so last minute but Brittany was awesome. She was super responsive, made time even last minute to come meet with us. She was super respectful and great with communication. Our dog loved her and we knew he was in great hands. Thank you so much Brittany!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was young, family and friends have allowed me to take care of them. I enjoy taking them on walks, petting them and giving the attention they deserve, and taking care of them. I will treat them just as you would and offer extended stays. For stays longer than 5 days, most I have done is a month and a half as of present, you will return to a clean home 😊 I am strong and able to keep my stability while walking dogs, am able to let them out, feed them, give baths, and offer other services for the home like my interior design skills which is another side business, that can be spoken about, if interested.

About: I’m very easy going. I love to take them for walks, get them a pup cup, parks, etc.. If they have meds or a certain diet that’s not a problem. As well as if they have any other specific needs, I will make sure to meet them. You can expect regular updates and pictures if wanted. I believe every dog should get love and attention so I will make sure not to be a stranger to them! Hope they love their tummy tickled too! Let me know if you have any questions:) I work at OSF St. Francis Medical Center, I am part time from 7am-1pm. I do online schooling therefore I would only be gone during the morning/ afternoon. The rest of the day is fully for the pups! In my clients home they have either a fenced yard or a shock collar to keep them in. One of my clients has specific diets and medication for both of their dogs and prefers if they are walked daily as well! (no extra charge for walking ofc). They text me the details or they write on a piece of paper and leave notes. I have no problem following directions, it is better to be more specific though when telling them. And I do send pics and update my clients if asked or necessary!

About: i have taken care of several breeds of dogs from the bichon’s to mastiffs! I have a beagle/shar pei mix who is 12 years old and a pit bull who is 2. We have 4 cats and I am an animal lover through and through! i am a stay at home mom of 2 and so my availability is open typically very flexible!. Up until now I have done this strictly in after work/school hours, but now have much more availability and hope to be able to branch out to more families! I will always respect the home of my client and their animals. We will go over any wants and needs and you don’t have to worry about anything else while you are gone! I am a Rover user myself and understand how important it is to feel stress free and in good hands when you are gone.

About: I am looking to make some extra money doing something I love - spending time with doggos! I adore all dogs and will give yours extra pets, loves, and attention. I know your pup is your best friend and a VIP member of your family. With me they are safe, loved, and living their best life! I have my own fur baby, Luna and she is my world. It’s hard to let someone else care for her so I understand any hesitancy when finding someone new to care for your dog. I’ll treat your pup like my own. I am a dog aunt to two pugs, a Chinese crested, and a Boston terrier/pug mix. I have never met a dog I didn't love. Let me love your fur baby too because we all know they could never get too much! I have volunteered at The Humane Society of Central Illinois and with senior pet therapy through Chicago Cares. I also have my masters degree in Applied Behavior Analysis. My availability does vary day by day. I am free some mornings, some afternoons, and some evenings. I have the time to walk or care for dogs daily M-F and sometimes on weekends. I have a flexible schedule since I work for myself. I will give your dog a lot of pets and attention. I will treat your pet like my own. Your dog will be happy to have made a new friend. I’ll also play with them, do tricks with them, give them a treat (if allowed). Anything to make them happy!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since i was very young and always adored and loved them. I’ll love and adore yours also and give them only the best care. 😊 I work part time at our district in Roanoke-Benson as a paraprofessional and just finished my 15th year. I love pet-sitting and have done so for my friends and coworkers. I’m reliable and very responsible and love being with small/med dogs and/or cats. I’m also trustworthy and independent and will gladly meet your dear pets needs. I generally care for your pets in your home. It’s much more comfortable and familiar for them and it’s where all their things are very handy.
