“I read reviews for Haley before we booked our visit and they all seemed to be sparkling, as were her Visits with our two cats. She represents your company very well and is well-spoken, professional and w we’ll be very happy to ask for Haley in the future. 👍💕”


“Linnea was amazing! She showed up when she said she would, sent pictures of my cat and wrote the sweetest notes! Best of all she took great care of my kitty. Definitely recommend.”


About: I have been a Petco certified dog trainer since I was 18 and have dog/house sat many times since! I treat your dog like family and your home with respect! I am flexible! I am available Mondays and Thursdays all day. Saturdays I get off work at 2:00pm I work 9-5 during the rest of the days of the week. But I always need an excuse to use PTO so watching your fur baby won’t be problem! I just need a two week notice Quality time will be spent with your fur baby to make sure they keep busy. Plenty of playtime and mental stimulation. I love using puzzle toys, snuffles and other things to get a dogs mind working!

“Hope was somewhat new to Rover but I found her to be a wonderful pet sitter. She was always prompt, sent pictures and became good friends with Oliver. He looked forward to her visits. I would highly recommend her for any pet sitting job. I definitely would use her again. Oliver really liked her and that was important! Great job Hope! Thank you!”


“Alyssa was fabulous with my two 6 year old kitties and if I could give her 6 stars I would! We were gone for 8 days and leaving them was so hard, but I knew they were in wonderful hands. Each day I received photos of Melody and Hoover along with notes about how they were doing, leaving no doubt in my mind that she was the right person for their care. She went 'above and beyond' which settled any uneasiness about leaving them. Even down to unforseen traveling delays coming home, she was there to lend a hand if necessary. I will definitely use her again.”


About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have done sitting on the side for family and friends. I have raised my dogs from puppies to now they are 15 and 10 I also got a kitten about a year ago and she’s been enjoying the ride ever since! I am currently in college. I am planning on getting another part time job so I will be sure to communicate with my clients the schedule for that. I take care of my own pets everyday and would love to add yours too. I have grown up with animals my whole life so their routine is my routine. I believe that we owe it to our pets to make sure their needs are met and that they are happy.

About: Since I was 14, I have been entrusted to care for all animals, but my main experience is with dogs! I grew up with dogs being a major part of my life and will ensure love and safety for your dog! I have experience with all stages of life for dogs too. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to care for your animal(s)! I am available Monday through Thursday, as early as 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and cleanliness I would expect for my own. I follow all routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I take the time to bond with each pet, making sure they feel safe, loved, and calm in their familiar environment. As an option, I can send updates with photos and messages if requested.

“Amazing couple. Even though my fur babies hid, they took great effort to find and photo them. They kept their food and water bowls full. The two are great sitters.”


“Jess is amazing with my boys! She understands my reactive pup needs some extra time to warm up to people and that my rambunctious pup needs some extra loving. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great, reliable, and trustworthy dog watcher. We’ll definitely book again :)”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was probably around ten years old. Making sure they are fed, played with, and petted are all ways to show them they are pampered and loved, and that’s something I strive to do! I work a part time job, but I can always do my best to make my schedule flexible. The only unchanging thing I have is going to the gym for about an hour, but I will always come right back! My service is completely up to you! If your furry friend needs to go in the kennel for a little bit, I can do that. If he or she needs to be walked for an hour every day, I can absolutely do that as well. Once again, my service ends wherever you need it to!


About: Hi, my name is Stella, I do dog walking, and also run a doggy vacation care in my home in the Valley Lakes community of Round Lake. It's a safe, non-crated environment with a fenced in yard. They always have the run of the house or yard ,plus lots of toys and comfy couches to nap on. I can take care of them for as little or as long as needed. I do this full time so your pet always has company. I take in a small number of dogs so each one gets very spoiled. They get plenty of exercise and play time. I have been doing this for over 20 years and have plenty of references. Currently I have dog named Buddy,aka my shadow. our Cock-A-Chon mix we recently rescued. Super loving and smart boy who completed our family We just adopted another family member, a 3 month Cavalier puppy that loves absolutely everyone and everything. About my yard I have a medium size fenced-in yard with a doggy pool for those hot days. My experience administering medication I have experience in oral meds and injections as well. Iv been a pet caregiver for over 25 years. My husband and I do this full time , so we are home majority of the day. We also do dog walking in Round lake and surrounding areas. *****I'm currently NOT able to care for dogs with separation anxiety or high energy dogs. I'm attentive to the needs of each of my clients. No two pups are the same, so we will adjust make them feel at ease. All dogs are different and we provide individual attention that would make them happy.

About: I have owned both cats and dogs and have owned dachshunds, lab mixes, and cats! I have pet sat for many family and friends and have also participated in pet training programs! I recently graduated from the University of Illinois and do not start my full time position until later this year. Because of that I am very free this summer to pet sit when ever needed! I care for pets in my home and pets that I am sitting by maintaining a safe and positive environment! This creates a positive experience for both my self and the pet.

“Sydney was great with my cat and rabbit! Our cat is very skiddish and usually only comes out after day 3 or 4 with new people. He came out the first day and was rolling around on the ground! Will definitely be using her again in the future when we need someone to take care of our furr babies!”


About: I can walk and feed your dog. I like hiking so I enjoy walking outside. If you have a fenced backyard, I'll scoop the poop in the whole yard when the dog is doing their business and then play with them in their favorite style of play. I can also drive them for vet, grooming, day care appointments subject to our agreement on these services. I currently work from home. So I can be flexible with my schedule and adapt it to your needs. I am available for 30 min visits, one time a day or spread throughout the day. I will walk dogs on leashes unless the client has a fenced yard and specifically tells me it is ok to let the dog out there.

About: I grew up with dogs always in my life. I have dog-sat many times in the past for family members and friends. Dogs bring me so much happiness and joy, I would love to help in any way I can with your pet sitting needs. I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I am available weekends and weekdays. Message me to check availability on days you need my services. I have a fenced in yard and two doggy doors that your pets can use whenever they want during their stay.

Isabella C.
“Luka has a deeper love for animals than I've seen in most people, especially dogs. He is exceedingly responsible and wonderful at learning their behaviors and responding accordingly. He treats his own pets with the utmost care and I've repeatedly seen him sacrifice his own wants to ensure their comfort. There's no one I would trust more with the care of my pets.”

Celia K.

Robyn C.
“Robyn is one of the most caring people I know. She takes great care of my dogs and I couldn't recommend her more for you pet sitting needs”
Fox Lake dog parents share their Rover experiences
I appreciated Sydneys prompt response to my initial inquiry and questions/messages. She was flexible on short notice to come to meet us and do a drop in the next day. Followed all instructions (in my way too long note), checked in, sent pictures and all was well with my pup on return. Sydney is nice, mature and trustworthy. She is just starting out on Rover so for just figuring all that out — she was great. Sometimes I look for a lot of reviews but glad I gave Sydney a try for sure. Don’t hesitate — I recommend Sydney and I’ll book with her again!
