“Diana was absolutely fabulous as she took care of our two cats over the holiday. They had lots of playtime to tire them out and treats and toys to make them feel special. We really appreciate the care she takes with our pets and will definitely rebook with her!”


About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! I’ve also had the privilege of working at a doggy daycare/boarding business for several summers, where I absolutely loved caring for clients’ pets. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to sweet senior pups. If you have concerns about a senior dog, don’t worry—I’m very comfortable following specific schedules, administering routines, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Whether your dog needs lots of playtime or a calm, gentle companion, I’m happy to provide a safe and comfortable experience while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend!!! I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week. I’m typically available Monday through Friday at any time, and I can accommodate a variety of routines and needs. While I prefer weekdays, I may be able to help on weekends with advance notice I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. In your home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, walk routines, or any specific care your pet needs. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I keep a clean and secure environment, making sure doors, gates, and leashes are always properly handled. During walks, I stay alert and avoid unsafe situations to keep your pet protected.
“Autumn did a great job with Mack & Aries while I was traveling on a work trip. They were both comfortable with her and I will not hesitate to use Autumn again for future house sitting needs.”

“There are not enough words to explain how amazing and truly incredible Heather is!!! We have 4 dogs with 4 different personalities and needs. It was instant love for her by them! It would be your dogs loss if you don’t use her services! She’s an amazing person and true dog lover!”

“She was amazing, was able to book her last minute and she was very good with communication. She sent photos and videos while she was over watching our dog and even left a note! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again!”

“Michael is a great babysitter. He makes sure he is super attentive with them and communicative with the parents. He let Hercules sleep in the bed with him. That was so nice. Thanks michael”

“Connor is an excellent sitter. He's very thoughtful and attentive to our pets needs (love, attention, walks, sniffs), and our needs (lots of adorable dog pics). He's very respectful and also top notch on the house sitting front as well. We are looking forward to having Connor watch our boys again soon (and I know they feel the same)!”

“Caitlin was amazing! She is the best sitter I got on Rover! She stayed hours making company to my cat Leia and I have no words to thank her for being so loving with her.”

“She did a great job taking care of our pets-one having separation anxiety and some medication needs. She also took great care of the house. Great communicator and will use again for sure!”
“Tyler did a great job watching my 110 pound German Shepherd. He gave lots of updates of their time and was respectful of my home. I would definitely recommend Tyler for future services.”

“Ruxin is a 13 year old weimerener with loving energy. His disposition matched Natalie’s personality and there were no hesitations from either of them; they bonded immediately. Natalie is a natural. She is reliable, competent and confident. Your pet is in good hands with her. I cannot speak highly enough of Natalie’s communication and ongoing commitment to keep our loved one safe, happy and healthy while we were away. This was the peace of mind that made the trip so relaxing. Natalie can be trusted without doubt or hesitation. She is thorough and seeks clarification if she is unsure of something pertaining to the uniqueness of your pet-this is the assurance that I admire and respect most in her ability to provide exceptional care. I know that Ruxin enjoyed his stay-cation from us as much as we enjoyed our time away visiting family. This was evident through the photos that she shared throughout. In addition to the great care that she provided to Ruxin, Natalie took outstanding care of our home. Upon returning from our trip, we were very pleased to find our house spotless! Thank you Natalie for your ongoing dedication to the pets and their homes that you care for. Ruxin sends his ❤️”

“Sandra is INCREDIBLE. I am so incredibly happy we found her for our first trip away from our pets in 3 years. She came over prior and arrived early before we left for the airport to go over everything thoroughly. We have 3 dogs (one senior, one young and high energy, and one 12 week old puppy), 6 chickens (1 that needs oral medication twice a day), and 2 other birds. She sent me updates frequently and was very communicative. We have a Ring camera outside and it was clear that our dogs loved her by their wagging tails. We got photo and video updates as well. Cannot recommend her enough!”

“This was the 3rd time Traisaun stayed at our home for multiple nights to care for our 2 dogs and cat. Our pets are always healthy and happy when we return. Traisaun also takes great care of our property and leaves our home in immaculate condition.”

“Rachel was fantastic! She was able to fill in for us last-minute when our regular sitter had a scheduling conflict, and took excellent care of our animals and our house! We really appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was, and were very happy with her communication skills, which included frequent updates along with pictures of our pets. We would easily recommend her services to anyone else looking for a sitter!”


About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I grew up with dogs and over the last 10+ years became a huge cat person as well, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and needs. Since I work from home, pets get plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and walks throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. I currently have two cats, so I understand how important it is to trust someone treating your pets like family. I’m dependable, patient, active, and love spending time outdoors getting exercise with pets while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting in your home depending on your pet’s needs. I also enjoy getting my steps in and staying active, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to while making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. In my home, pets will have a clean, calm, and supervised environment with plenty of attention throughout the day since I work from home. I do currently have two cats, so I ask that dogs staying with me are cat-friendly. In a client’s home, I respect your pet’s routine, follow feeding/walking instructions carefully, and make sure they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I believe pets should feel safe, loved, and treated like family in any environment. I have a pet-friendly backyard space for supervised outdoor time, walks, and play. Since the yard is not fenced in, safety and supervision are always a priority.
“Patrick did an outstanding job caring for our dog and home. He was attentive, responsible, and kept us well-informed with great communication throughout. Our dog was clearly well cared for, and we returned to a spotless house. We would not hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to others.”

Fairview Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Diana was absolutely amazing. I was traveling out of state for a few days, so coming home to happy pets and a spotless house was such a gift. She took incredible care of my animals, kept me updated, and went far beyond what I ever expected. She even brought toys for my dachshund, Nellie, and thoughtful gifts for both me and my son. When I got home, she had done laundry, tidied up, and left everything looking wonderful. Most importantly, I had complete peace of mind knowing my pets were loved and cared for while I was away. Diana is kind, dependable, thoughtful, and truly goes above and beyond. I would book her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.

Aubra was great with my fur babies and made the whole experience really easy and stress free. She kept me updated with messages and photos, asked thoughtful questions when needed, and was very communicative throughout the stay. My dog can take a little time to warm up, and she was really patient with her, which I appreciated. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. I’d definitely book Aubra again.

Philip and Stephanie did a fantastic job taking care of Trixie and Thorne for me. It was so wonderful knowing my pets were in good hands while I was attending a celebration of life event for the loss of my girlfriend. Philip even took the cardboard boxes I had that needed to go to recycling for me. Great people for sure.

Brandon was excellent with our miniature dachshund, Clif. He had third degree burns recently and required a little extra care, and Brandon went above and beyond to make sure Clif bad his meds, got a walk in, and even put him in a clean suitical. I can't say enough kind things about how great he is. Thanks, Brandon!
