“We couldn't be more grateful for the amazing care our pets received! Not only was she incredibly sweet and caring, but she also handled an unexpected emergency. Her quick think and clear communication made all the difference. We came home to happy dogs.”

“Kara is the best. She did a great job caring for both our older dog and our young, energetic and not yet fully-trained puppy. I highly recommend her. She clearly loves the animals.”

“Rowan has been the best dog and cat sitter we’ve had since using this app—10/10, highly recommend. They’re great with animals, always send photos and updates, and are incredibly reliable and attentive.”

“Theodore was great! Our dogs Harley and Zoey loved him and we couldn’t ask for anyone better! He gave us updates on how they were doing and sent pictures and we didn’t have to worry at all about how they were doing when we were away on vacation! We could just relax and enjoy ourselves! There was an incident at the end of his time watching them where Harley chewed a couple things, but that was only because he was anxious because Theodore had a family emergency and had to leave in the middle of the night and was totally understandable and not his fault! We would definitely recommend him to housesit and watch your pets and we will definitely be using him again in the future!”

“Nicole was absolutely wonderful to work with. We have an anxious dog who can be a little slow to warm up to new people, but Nicole is so gentle, patient and kind that we felt comfortable they would find their groove. Nicole is also incredibly communicative. We got frequent updates and pictures of their time together, and Nicole was able to keep us updated about specific concerns (Luna has allergies, and we were worried about her itchiness). Nicole was also highly flexible and was a great fit for our needs. It gave us such peace of mind while we were away to know that our dog was in very capable and caring hands!”

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs. I have most experience with big dogs like Rottweilers, labs, and pitbulls (not that big I know). I’ve taken care of and helped train puppies and toddler dogs as well as senior dogs. Currently have a white pitbull mix who deals with allergies and skin issues who I trained myself. I’m happy to handle any and all quirks and requests you or your pet may have. I know what it’s like to feel like a burden when looking for a dog sitter because they need a specific feeding method or a weird ritual for potty time. I’m currently a student at Illinois Central College. I have free time most days over the summer. My availability will be a bit more limited in the fall. I am comfortable with all types of pets and all that comes with them. I have lots of experience picking up and cleaning up after animals as well as crate training if needed, skin care, giving medicine, grooming, clothing, or anything else you might need/want.
“Beth was great with our animals! She kept us up-to-date on how things were going, made sure we got pictures, and spent a lot of time with them the week we were gone. The house looked great when we got home, and the animals seemed to have had a great time!”

“Dylan was very responsible and reliable, she quickly responded and sent daily pictures of my dogs I trusted her with my home and dogs, they were all well cared for. I will definitely have Dylan return again.”
About: I’m very easy going. I love to take them for walks, get them a pup cup, parks, etc.. If they have meds or a certain diet that’s not a problem. As well as if they have any other specific needs, I will make sure to meet them. You can expect regular updates and pictures if wanted. I believe every dog should get love and attention so I will make sure not to be a stranger to them! Hope they love their tummy tickled too! Let me know if you have any questions:) I work at OSF St. Francis Medical Center, I am part time from 7am-1pm. I do online schooling therefore I would only be gone during the morning/ afternoon. The rest of the day is fully for the pups! In my clients home they have either a fenced yard or a shock collar to keep them in. One of my clients has specific diets and medication for both of their dogs and prefers if they are walked daily as well! (no extra charge for walking ofc). They text me the details or they write on a piece of paper and leave notes. I have no problem following directions, it is better to be more specific though when telling them. And I do send pics and update my clients if asked or necessary!
“Brittany was great with our boys and very easy to work with, from the initial meet and greet through the 6 nights we were gone. Our dogs are pretty big (80 and 95lbs) and they both have some quirky habits, but Brittany handled them with ease. She sent pictures and updates daily, which really settled any worries we had about having a new person at the house. We came home to very happy dogs, and we look forward to using her services again. Highly recommend!”

About: I've grown up always having pets in the home. We've always had at least one dog in the house, along with a handful of other types of pets (cats, rats, guinea pigs, even a chinchilla) throughout the years. This has solidified my love for animals of all kinds, and makes me eager to care for and love your pets as if they are my own, if you choose to give me the opportunity to do so :) I am a teacher trying to keep myself busy for the summer! My schedule is wide open so feel free to message me with any requests! I care for pets in their own home by maintaining their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and any medications they may need. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I also make sure to keep owners updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind! I also have reliable transportation which would allow me to be able to come to your home and care for your pet in their own environment!
“Sami did a great job with Duke and Daisy. She made us feel very relaxed by updating us occasionally with texts and pictures. The dogs loved her and we definitely felt comfortable having her in our home. We will definitely book again.”

Harvard Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mark did a great job watching Milo at our house. He followed our instructions perfectly. He even handled our anxious dog during a thunderstorm. He even transported Milo to and from his daycare so he wouldn't miss a day during our trip. Mark sent daily reports and pictures and he responded to any questions we had very quickly. Our trip was much more relaxing knowing our Aussie was in excellent hands.
