“Thankful for Lee! He did a great job pet sitting our pup in our home. Wonderful house sitter and would recommend 100%. Made a cute drawing of our pup too & sent regular photos and updates. Our dog seemed at ease & well taken care of upon our return.”
“Beth is so great with my 2 dogs. She sends pictures and tells me how their day is going. She also communicates any problems that arise. Beth is very easy to work with and follows all the instructions for the care of the house and pets. I really appreciate the way she takes care of everything!”
About: I am an animal lover to the fullest and your neighborhood pet sitter! Being around dogs is a form of therapy for me; I also give the best chin and belly rubs a pet could ask for... so it's a win-win! I grew up in a dog household. I will properly care for your pet as if they were my own. My schedule is very flexible and I am open to working with your busy schedule and your pets' needs. I have experience with many kittens and full grown cats and puppies as well as elderly dogs. I am learning more about this industry and pets everyday and loving every day of it! I look forward to meeting you and becoming your pets' newest friend!
“Haley was amazing with our two dogs! She’s a great communicator and very attentive to detail. We have an older dog who tends to get into mischief and she kept a close eye on him. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter, and we’re excited to hire her again in the future.”
“We were happy with the accommodations that was provided for us and our pup . It helped us enjoy our day knowing he was safe . Friendly , kind and awesome care was given and we are lucky to have found her”
“Fantastic! Scott was ann absolute lifesaver and helped me when I was In a crunch. He promptly responded to a last minute request . He toolk such good care of my pup Lily, who has separation anxiety. He walked Lily and made her feel comfortable and at ease. My pup was in great hands with Scott, who is an extremely flexible, reliable sitter. Thank you so much, Scott!!”
“Brittany took care of my 2 senior dogs while we were away for 3 days. One of our dogs requires meds 3 times a day, and she is an over reactive dog. Brittany handled a situation with another dog that was off leash very effectively! My dog does not like other dogs, and she picked up my dog to avoid a potentially dangerous situation. Overall she took very good care of their needs, even walking them a couple times a day when she could have just let them in the fenced yard. I would definitely recommend Brittany to watch over your pets and give them the best of care.”
“Gwen was absolutely wonderful with Chevy! She followed all instructions to a T, sent us tons of sweet updates and photos, and left our home spotless. Chevy was clearly happy and well cared for—we could tell he felt totally at ease. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave him and would welcome her back anytime!”
“Jillian was great with our dog and cat and made us feel so comfortable when we left for the weekend ! She was responsive and sent lots of photos. She was very loving with our pets. We would definitely recommend her”
“Ariana has been my go to sitter! She is so good with my Lucy and she loves her. Very dependable! She also has helped me out with a few small projects around the house while I’m away. Highly recommend!”
About: I worked at Petco while in college. I have been around animals my whole life. I have experience other cat and dog sitting. I currently have two cats of my own and love them dearly. I will treat and care for your pets just like my Own! I am also a teacher and am very responsible and respectful of your home. I am currently on summer break so I have a lot of time for you and your pets! During the school year I am available nights, weekends, and holiday breaks. I prefer to be at your home, as I am currently living with my parents and my two cats. I want to respect their space. I am very clean, organized, and respectful of others spaces.
“Ayla was awesome, sweet, and very attentive. I appreciate her sending me pictures and updates and she followed all of my instructions. Would love to book her again.”
“What an absolute gem!!! I have 2 Belgian Malinois, a can and fish. Tanya was such a amazing sitter. Our older mal he can be an anxious fella and can sometimes intimidate people but not Tanya! She was a dog whisperer. She stayed overnight for 3 nights and not only helped with keeping my critters safe but also the home. She treated my home like her home and with respect. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. TRUST HER WITH YOUR FAMILY. My pets mean the world to me and they trusted and loved her from the moment they met. She was consistent with providing updated and pictures. Already a loyal client to her with only just 1 booking. 10000/10 rating. Coming from an anxious mom I highly reccomend.”
“Isabella was incredibly responsive and helpful. I strongly recommend her to future clients.”
“Isabella was an amazing house sitter. She was very conscientious and can tell she definitely loved on my two dogs. In addition to going above and beyond with the pups, she left my apartment better than when I left. I would recommend her to anyone, she was truly great and I will be using her again!”
About: First of all, I absolutely love dogs. I love all animals, really! I have experience with dogs having grown up with one. While I only have a cat at home, I find myself always checking out dog videos online and I frequently jump at the opportunity to dog sit for friends and family. I am more than willing to help in any way I can. I will play with your dogs and make sure they are walked and taken care of. I do work a full time job from 8am-5pm M-F but I would be happy to help with anything outside of these hours. My coworkers and family would tell you that I am extremely respectful and a very hard worker. I am dedicated to everything I do, and I strive to make sure my job is done correctly. I love to laugh and am a people person. I cant wait to meet your pups and meet you! I hope to see you soon!
About: I have over 20 years of caring for animals of all kinds. I am very personal, caring, and will treat your animal with the love they deserve. I have a full time job Monday-Friday. I can walk your dog in the morning and play with them until I leave for work. After work we can play and enjoy what new outside adventures have in store! I have the ability to come to your home if that’s your preference. I am very schedule friendly. I have a big common area and a large park with a dog area. I’m close to a walking path or can just stay in home and play. I am very responsible and have over 20 years of experience. I have two daughters 11,8 that could help as well. They love animals.
“This was our first time having Lindsey watch our 2 dogs and housesit overnight. She gave us a courtesy call the day before to confirm what time we needed her to arrive and what time we expected her to stay with the dogs the folllowing day. Our dogs have seperate medical prescription needs which I provided. She took the extra measure to recap their needs via text after she arrived at our home. She sent me updates and pictures during her stay which put me at ease. She was very conscientious and showed how much she cared for the wellbeing of my dogs. We were very pleased with her service. So much so that we have already booked her for a future dog/housesitting . We highly recommend Lindsey for your petcare needs.”

Gurnee pet parents share their Rover experiences
Scott kept my high-energy and extremely affectionate-needy dog alive and happy. We came home to an exhausted dog and a house that was still standing. Due to a medical emergency, Scott had to stay elsewhere for a brief part of the stay, but he handled alternative arrangements and checked in regularly. Thank you, Scott!
We’ve had Tanya watch our dog multiple times for overnights and she’s great! She sends updates each day and always takes great pictures. We will definitely continue to use her
Celeste did an amazing job making our pups feel comfortable with her. They normally take a couple of days to warm up and even eat regularly. Our chihuahua ate the first day!! She went regular updates and pics and we are so glad we had her in our home while we were away. I will definitely check with her again when we need a sitter.
Stephanie did a great job watching our rambunctious puppy Leila. Definitely will be using her again.
I have had to travel a couple times over the last year, using different rover sitters with not great experiences. I am so grateful to have come across Cristina. I was gone for a little over a week out of the country and she was so great with updating me with photos and progress reports on my dog. My dog is deaf and sometimes gets anxiety when i leave the house for a trip and Cristina was so gentle with her. I felt completely comfortable with her in my home and I know my dog got the best care. If she is available, always always book her!!!
