“Glen took care of coco during few days in December. Glen takes coco for a walk and feeds her. He is very trust worthy and I can depend on Glen. We will hire him again in future.”

“Nancy was great! She stayed at our house to watch our pup and she kept us updated with photos and let us know how everything was going. I always worry when we go out of town but I had the peace of mind knowing Nancy was taking good care of our dog! Our house was just how we left it as well! I would highly recommend Nancy and will be using her again in the future. :)”


About: Hi! We’re a couple who genuinely love dogs. We’ve also spent plenty of time looking after our family members’ pets, so we know how much they become part of the family. We both work in healthcare, so we’re used to being patient, responsible, and paying attention to the little things. We know every dog has their own personality and routine, and we’ll do our best to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. We’re excited to meet some new furry friends, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving lots of belly rubs, or just keeping them company. 🐶❤️ We both work full-time in a hospital, so our schedules vary, but we’re upfront about our availability and only accept bookings we can commit to. We’ll follow your pet’s routine, give them plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Your pet’s safety and comfort come first! We live in a clean, cozy first-floor apartment with a safe and welcoming environment for pets. We’ll keep a close eye on your fur baby, follow their routine, and give them plenty of love, cuddles, and playtime. ❤️
About: Hello, my name is Angel and I’m excited to care for your cats and dogs! I have about 6 years of experience with cats, thanks to raising and caring for my own kitty, and 2 years of experience with dogs. While cats are my specialty, I’m also eager to continue building my dog care skills and I love spending time with pups of all ages, including puppies. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable with feeding, cleaning up after them, playing, and following any specific instructions you provide. If you book dog walking, I can take your pup on walks or even light jogs for exercise. I don’t currently drive, so I may use public transit or rideshare; this means arrival times can vary slightly. Meet and greets are required so your pet and I can get comfortable first! I am currently enrolled in hybrid and online college classes, which means I have almost full availability for bookings. My schedule is flexible unless otherwise stated in advance. I care for my own kitty with lots of love and attention, and I would do the same for your lovable fur baby. Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are always my top priorities when pet sitting.😊🤗
“This was our first experience with Kathryn. She did not disappoint. She was attentive to our fur baby and kept us updated with texts and photos. Definitely going to use her in the future. Thanks Kathryn for being amazing.”

About: Our family has always had a deep love for dogs. We’ve shared our lives with them for as long as we can remember and currently have two wonderful 30-pound pups who are an important part of our family. My husband and I have been married for 19 years and live in a home with a fenced-in yard, giving our dogs plenty of safe space to play. We have two kids, ages 9 and 11, who both adore animals and are gentle, responsible, and enthusiastic about helping care for our pets. My husband works from home, so there’s always someone around to give our dogs attention and companionship throughout the day. We’re a family that truly values the joy, energy, and unconditional love that dogs bring to our lives. I currently work full time as a special education teaching assistant, but I’m home and available on evenings and weekends — and during the summer, my schedule is much more flexible. My husband works from home, so our dogs enjoy plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. We’re an active, loving family who truly values the happiness, loyalty, and love that dogs bring into our lives, and we’re excited about the possibility of welcoming another one into our home. Our dogs are true members of our family. They enjoy their morning and evening walks, along with plenty of playtime and outings in our fenced-in yard throughout the day. They sleep in bed with us and are very much part of our daily lives. We cherish them deeply and make sure they’re included in everything we do as a family. We have a fenced in yard that we all love to play in!
“Imani did an amazing job keeping us updated and sending pictures to ease the anxiety of being away from our pup for the first time. Not only that, she also made herself available to us last minute with less than 24 hour notice which we appreciated.”

About: Hi, I have loved and adored animals ever since I was a little girl. If your pet needs to be fed, pet, played with, medication, or anything else I gotchya! I am currently working part time and a full time student. I can be available during the week Mondays, occasional Wednesdays, Fridays, and occasional weekends. I have two adorable kitties at home and make sure they are loved, fed, played with, and given lots of treats. Sometimes when they need medicine they will receive it accordingly.
“Jordan followed every instruction to the T. She was very polite, professional, responsive and communicative in the months of planning leading up to our big trip. The only mishaps while we were away were handled adeptly without stress or drama and Jordan even made one more visit to care for everyone when our return flight came in later than planned. We arrived home (from being thousands of miles away for a week of almost no cell service) to find our +20 member fur family happy, well fed and not at all worse for the wear. The house was just as we had left it. We truly look forward our next opportunity to book Jordan. Mahalo nui Jordan- you made a once-in-a-lifetime family reunion happen. We are so grateful we had your care here at home so we could be away to make these priceless memories!”

About: I've been a pet sitter, groomer, been involved in boarding, training, daycare, and even swimming dogs. I also grew up with farm animals my whole life.

About: I have been a pet owner since I was 7 years old. I am well versed in taking care of cats or dogs, any size. I have experience with short and long haired cats, and big and small dogs. I previously owned a 90 lb mutt (forever in my heart) and I take care of other dogs ranging from pit bulls to mini labradoodles. I have two cats that are the light of my life. I am constantly asked to watch my families pets and I do it with a smile on my face. I just love animals! I am currently working part time, so my schedule varies from week to week. I am more than willing to stop by during my break if needed, or before or after work and on my days off. I currently live in an apartment that only allows dogs under 25 lbs, but don’t worry, I am more than willing to come hang out with the big pups if needed.
“Nina is truly a gem. Not only does she take tremendous care of our girl I feel like my house is even better than we left it. She is tidy, communicative, and kind. We appreciate having someone so caring to take care of our precious pup!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fox Valley
We had never used Rover or had someone house sit for our dogs before, so to say we were a little nervous about the whole process. Gabi made everything so easy and comfortable from the start. We set up a couple of meetings beforehand so she could meet the dogs and make sure she felt comfortable watching them. Gabi was upfront, confident, and professional throughout the entire process. Gabi was extremely responsive and accommodating, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we came home, our dogs weren’t even excited to see us, meaning they had a great time with Gabi! Honestly that says it all. Gabi took great care of our dogs and our home. We will absolutely be using her the next time we go out of town.

Michelle was absolutely wonderful with Lily! She stayed overnight, took excellent care of her, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She made sure Lily got plenty of walks, sent lots of adorable pictures, and kept me updated throughout her stay just as I had requested. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Michelle again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!

Alex was very loved at our house with 3 cats. He was on time & very responsive. We got photo updates everyday. He left my house clean and washed the pet bowls so they were ready to use the night we got back. Very thankful for Alex. We will absolutely use him for our future trips!

Cassidy was quick to respond upon my inquiry for dog sitting and did a great job with my two pups while we were gone for the day! She sent a summary of how it went along with cute pictures of my pups looking extremely content! She is kind, very responsive and followed all of the instructions I left as both my dogs have specific routines and medications they are on. We will definitely be using her for future dog sitting!

Jing is an excellent house sitter. She watched my two dogs while I was overseas for the Holiday break. She provided multiple photos throughout each day and even cleared snow on the back deck and steps so my senior dog could make it back easier to the door. She was very attentive to their needs and compassionate. I would definitely recommend Jing!! Thank you Jing 🤙

The GOAT of pet sitters! Valarie has been doing drop in visits on our dogs and cats for a few years and has always been so great. This time she stayed at our home while we traveled and it was the first time in years I didn’t have a worry about my home and fur babies. She’s a good communicator with daily pictures and always responsive. Trust and reliability is hard to find and I’ve found it consistently with Valarie.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fox Valley walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fox Valley maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fox Valley choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.
