“As a first-time River user, we were a bit nervous but Peggy was terrific! She was knowledgeable, patient and understanding with our little nervous guy and they ended up being friends by the end of the weekend. Will definitely use Rover again!”

About: I’ve always been very passionate in animals. I have taken care of animals since I was 12 years old. I started my own dog treat business when I was 13 year old. I am currently a student at Joliet Junior college. I am looking for a part time job. I will be available during the day and overnight. I have no pets. I currently live with my parents. My mom is allergic to animals so I will not be able to take them to my home.
“Karolina was very caring to our animals and very responsive. She stayed over the Christmas and I was able to not worry while visiting my family. I will ask for her to housesit when I need it again.”
“Lisa was fantastic and our dog loved her. She did a great job communicating with us and sending pictures . We will absolutely book with her again!”
“Kelly was amazing. She took care of our pups so well and kept us updated the entire trip. It’s so nice to be able to leave town and feel safe leaving your pets with someone”
“I was very pleased with our sitter Katelyn. I received a good handful of cute photos. Updates on their potty time and eating. Both of my pitbull's took to her and we're laying down on the couch next to her within minutes. The best part of this, was that both of my dogs ate their dinner when it was prepared for them with us being gone so long during the day. My eldest dog has a pretty good dose of separation anxiety. It does not look like he felt any anxiety at all, and I could not be more pleased. And the youngest pitbull was happy to have somebody to play with, which she began doing almost immediately. Very, very happy!!”
About: I have always had pets since I was born. I have bathed, walked and taken care of all of the pets I have personally have. I also have experience with all different types of animals! Including exotic reptiles and farm animals! I am fit to take care of any animal big or small! I’m currently working part-time as a hostess and I am attending college! I have lots of free time and would love spending that time caring for pets. I am usually working Thursday nights and Sunday morning but I am available almost any other time of the week! In my own home I will daily take my own pup for walks and make sure to spend quality time with her by playing with toys and giving her treats! I will follow any instructions I am giving about the personal care of each pet I am given the opportunity to meet!
About: I have taken care of my own dogs since I was born! I love dogs and would do anything for the pets that I am in charge for. I am working full time right now from home! I never have to leave the house for work which is really great and can spend more time with the dogs I will spend as much time with your dog/dogs as I can! I will come over and play with your dogs in and outside or I will take them to the park.
“Michelle is wonderful! Initially I hired her to stay in my house a few days with my 16.5 yr old dog, but unfortunately he passed away before the trip. Michelle helped change our agreement, and she looked in on our cat and house instead. Great communication and I knew my cat and house was in great hands!”
“Eliza stayed with our 3 dogs while we were away and we could not be happier with how she cared for our dogs and our home! Do not hesitate to hire Eliza. Her communication, work ethic and care for the dogs is top notch.”
“Jennifer was FANTASTIC! She actually spent time hanging out with my dogs when house sitting. Jennifer even came back over to check on dogs when flight got in late. I will use her again! Thank you!”
“Stacie was fantastic. Our dogs were impeccably cared for and she anticipated additional needs at our house and asked us if she could take care of them before we asked her. She was a joy and we’ll definitely be asking her again!”
About: Quick note I don’t charge more if you have more than one animal in the house :) (rover won’t let me change it) With that being said, I have taken care of dogs and puppies ever since sixth grade. I have also grown up with medium size and large dogs my whole life. Throughout middle school, highschool, and college I have gained experience by volunteering at animal shelters. I have gotten to take care of dogs and cats with many different temperaments, some shy, some aggressive, but all equally deserving of love and patience. I also have practice walking strong pulling dogs and have worked at Camp Bow Wow for two years. This included breaking up dog fights, working with many different breeds, bathing and grooming the dogs, prepping meals, and multitasking. Petcare fits into my weekly routine because I am on summer break for the summer, home for college. I have been looking for a job that is flexible after I returned home from a month in Spain, and I love dogs and cats. I always ensure the safety of pets. I make sure I hold dogs’ leashes properly on walks and that sibling pets do not get too out of hand when it comes to playing. Furthermore, certain rooms will remain off limits, and I will ensure all doors will remain closed if requested. I will feed dogs or cats at the proper time and give them plenty of snuggles if they are comfortable with me :)
About: Hi! Please call me Em! My first dog was a german shepherd at 10 years old. Since then, I've also lived with a black lab. I currently have a 2 year old weimaraner. I have the most experience working with older/senior dogs and administering oral medicine. I'll ensure your pet is comfortable and has its needs met! I'm currently a college student looking for work over the summer. I have plenty of free time to check in on your pets, play with them, and hang out! As long as I get specific instructions and information about your pets, habits, and behavior, they will be taken care of! I'd love to know as much as I can so I can provide the best care for your pets.
“Dana stayed with our dog for 4 nights and I could not have been happier with the outcome. She took a lot of stress away from us so we could have a nice vacation away and not worry. Dana is polite and very thoughtful. She sent photos of how our pooch was doing. Gave updates and even got our mail. She went as far as to start cleaning up the stuff that blew around the yard in the 50+ mile an hour winds. She cleaned up after our dog after she tracked mud in the house and left the house as we left it. I wholehearted recommend Dana and will also be using her in the future. Thanks Dana!!!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and know how they should be treated and I don't scare easy no matter the size of the dog they will be loved liked my own. I do have a full time job that is 9-5 but work mostly from home and can be flexible on the times i come visit I will follow all the rules and ensure your pet is safe within your home and care for them as they are my own pet

About: I am a trustworthy experienced dog lover that has had pets since I was little. I have also been helping to walk, feed, and care of friends pets. I am a teacher, so I am pretty open during the summer months. I can be available to walk or sit for dogs almost any time over the summer. I have a fenced in yard and I have a very friendly golden retriever that loves to play with other dogs. My house is also clean and pet friendly:

Dogs and animals of all kinds seem to almost instantly identify her as a friend and I believe that her upbeat and optimistic attitude contribute greatly! Megan is always determined to keep herself active and enjoys being outside almost all day; so I can guarantee that if a pup is in need of a walk, she will be more than happy to take on the responsibility no matter the weather! She loves dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments and believes all dogs deserve the same love and care, despite the breed! Megan will take amazing care of your furry friend!”

Zach M.
“I highly recommend my Uncle Zach to watch your pets! He’s amazing with animals. We have two cats and a dog at home, and he’s always the one making sure they’re cared for and loved. He’s constantly encouraging the whole family to take good care of our pets and set a good example. Now that I’m away at college, I have total peace of mind knowing he’s there. He’s super responsible, gentle, and genuinely loves animals. He’ll probably even bring my little cousin Oliver with him on walks, they’re both great with animals and super dependable. I couldn’t think of a better person to recommend. Any pet would be lucky to spend time with my Uncle Zach! ☺️”
