“Theresa is an outstanding dog sitter. The dogs love her so much, and she is wonderful interacting with them. She even tidied up the main floor of our house, which is above and beyond. She will definitely be my future number one choice.”


“Hired Kelly to see how petting would work for a trip in the future. Kelly was super friendly. Came for a quick house tour during the week and watched our pets on that Friday. She got here right when we asked. Feed and hung out with the dogs. Sent photos. Will hire again”


“Brandi was great! She gave awesome updates, asked all the right questions and sent so many pictures! She took great care of my dog during the 4th of July Fireworks. Will definitely rebook!”


“Taylor was very loving towards my girls and communicated very well while she stayed with my girls! 3 dogs can be overwhelming but she embraced it and I came home to happy girls after my trip!”


“Look no further for the perfect pet sitter. Kiera is absolutely wonderful! She treated my babies like her own and got our extremely skiddish previously feral cat to snuggle on her lap which is unheard for a stranger. She went above and beyond to provide care, with frequent pics and updates if you request that. We couldn’t be happier!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, high-energy pups, leash pullers, shy seniors, and everything in between. I worked at a boarding facility where I was trained to administer medication to cats and dogs, and watch for signs of serious illness such as bloat. I also house and pet sit regularly for family friends as well as take care of my Sheepadoodle and two cats at home. 🖤🤍 Your pet will be in loving and capable hands with me! 💞🐾 (P.S. I love animal photography! so expect lots of pictures of your pet 😉) I currently work part time with just four hour shifts so your fur baby would not have to be alone for long! I'll be plenty available to spend time with your pet and keep them safe and happy! I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs including feeding, walking, playtime, medications, and plenty of belly rubs included! I keep routines consistent to reduce stress and always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and comfort. I also monitor for any signs of illness or distress and communicate updates so you always know your pet is in good hands. I have plenty of experience with all types of dogs and know what's best for your pet to keep them safe and happy!

“Janel took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town. She kept us informed, took him on walks and spent lots of extra time with him. Janel is very responsible and we were super comfortable having her in our home. I highly recommend!”


About: I've been taking care of dogs my entire life. My father bred labradors, and I've been sitting for my grandparents for the last 15 or so years. I recently started sitting for a friend and have decided to make it a steady source of income I'm an artist that wants to use dog sitting and walking to have a steady flexible income that allows me to be creative in my personal life. Our pitbull Stella gets the best that we can provide her. As a genuine dog lover, I will provide the best care that is in my ability to provide in your home.

About: Hi, thank you so much for stopping by to read through my profile. I’m stoked to start this journey. I have loved and taken care of friend’s and family’s dogs for years. Big, small, medium, even tempered, wild, mellow, I absolutely love them all. I have a 11 year old black lab, who’s slowed down a lot. She is my everything. She just can’t move like she used to and I find something about raising a dog from a young pup to an aging one, so very special and rewarding. If your dog is fast paced or likes to smell every blade of grass, I’m game. Rain, shine, or snow, I’m available. I’d absolutely appreciate it if you gave me the opportunity to spoil your dog, not just walk. I understand these are your babies. My house is also open with a fenced in back yard and lots of attention and love offered. Let me know what questions or concerns you might have! I work Monday-Friday, I am free in the evenings and off on Thursdays typically. I’m free on most holidays like Thanksgiving(so keep that in mind).** I am free on most weekends. ** Also please note, I’m willing to travel to MO from IL side. My house is open and I have a great fenced in area. Your dog will be spoiled rotten over here. Lots of pets and attention. I also know how important a walk is to a dog, it’s the highlight of their day! We’d make the most of it.

“We couldn't be happier with Brogan! We were away for a long weekend and she looked after our dog, Darla. Brogan sent us lots of pictures, texts, and info on how they were all getting along. It definitely made me feel little to no concern about how things were going back home and I was able to enjoy my trip. Darla is a reactive dog and strong as well. Brogan worked so well with her on the leash and wasn't at all uncomfortable. Lots of communication before we left as well and totally responsible with the house. We're already hoping to book her again! 15 stars!! ☺️”


“Jaelyn was so good to my pups! She sent me some pictures and a report during the day. My mother in law was at my home too (but unable to help out with the dogs) and she told me how very sweet Jaelyn is and how good she was with my fur-babies! I wish there were 6 stars. When the day comes that I need River again, she will be a repeat for me.”


“Lette did an amazing job with house sitting and watching our Emma girl. During her stay she kept us updated and even sent some precious pictures of our Emma. She was in constant communication with us. We highly recommend and will definitely book her again in the future!”


About: I bring a unique blend of patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals that helps me quickly build trust with both pets and their people. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs whether that means keeping a playful pup busy or making sure a senior dog feels safe and comfortable. Here’s a bit about my experience: • Puppy care, leash walking, and reinforcing basic commands • Senior dogs, with gentle handling, slower-paced walks, and medication routines • Special needs pets, providing calm, detail-oriented care • Administering medications (oral, topical, and injectable) • Multi-pet households, managing dynamics so everyone gets love and attention I always prioritize communication I’ll send regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I truly treat every animal as if they were my own, creating a calm and loving environment while you’re away. I’m planning to transition out of my hourly job and become a full-time sitter while in school. Balancing classes and work can be a lot, but pet care has always been something that brings me joy and helps me decompress. I carefully plan my schedule to make sure I’m fully present and attentive with every pet I care for. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I’m committed to providing consistent, loving, and reliable care that fits both your pet’s needs and my routine. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and engaging environment that matches each pet’s routine and comfort level. In my home, I keep things clean, pet-proofed, and stocked with toys, cozy spaces, and outdoor access for breaks and playtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific habits or routines. I make sure pets feel secure and loved, whether they’re in familiar surroundings or visiting mine.

“Carissa is the best and loves our fur baby like her own. So professional yet friendly and always on time and flexible and understanding of our ever changing plans. Thanks Carissa for taking such good care of Wrigley. We appreciate you!”


About: I’ve had both dogs and cats my entire life, and I love them both deeply. I’ve also babysat cats and dogs of all sizes, done plenty of walking, feeding, and administered meds to both. Whether it’s me dropping in to take your dog potty or to pet your cat for 30 minutes straight - I will treat them with the love and care they deserve. I work remotely, so I can drop in or walk your dog basically anytime! Weekends, I can spend multiple hours with your babies or pop in on them every 4-6 hours. I’m a firm believer in making the animal comfy, usually by letting them come to me first for a greeting. I become fast friends with every animal I’ve cared for, so after that it’s about consistent check-ins with the fur babes to ensure their needs are met.

About: Hi there! My name is Laura, and passionate dog lover with 12 years of experience caring my dogs and 2 years taking care other ones. I believe that every dog deserves love, attention and plenty of playtime. I offer daily walks, play sessions and cuddles. Let’s Connect and make sure your pup has a tail-wagging good time. También se habla español!! I’m currently available for from 9:30 to 6:30 for walks and visits. However we can agree on a different time. Boarding on weekdays - weekends. I can easy visit pet’s home as needed. I prefer small and medium Breeds. If the owner allows it, I could take it to the park

She has such a warm and gentle way with pets that makes them feel safe, loved, and cared for. She’s been absolutely amazing with my dog, Roky—he lights up every time he sees her, and I can tell he feels completely at ease in her care. Laura treats him as if he’s her own, showering him with so much love and attention. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who will go above and beyond to make your furry friends feel cherished and happy, I couldn’t recommend Laura more. She’s not just a pet sitter—she’s like a second family for your pets!”

Glen Carbon pet parents share their Rover experiences
Katelyn sent pictures throughout the week of our animals. When we returned the house was clean and orderly, and our pets were very well cared for. I left some extra cash for her and asked for a few extra things which were all done also, getting mail, bringing a package in, and watering my potted plants. Would definitely use her in the future.

Lette did an amazing job with house sitting and watching our Emma girl. During her stay she kept us updated and even sent some precious pictures of our Emma. She was in constant communication with us. We highly recommend and will definitely book her again in the future!
