“Amazing! She did a great job with our home and animals. We will be booking her again and again! She is kind and willing to do things for the animals as well as about to answer all and any of my questions.”

“Alex was truly a dream! The BEST Rover experience we have had. Dishes done, house immaculate and most importantly Maisy LOVED her. We hope that she will stay with us for a long time!”

“She did a great job taking care of my French Bulldog. The French Bulldog can be really hard to take care of but she was able to keep him on schedule. Was also alert about him not eating and we were always in contact. I had no worries while I was gone. Thank You!”

“Bryanna took extra care with Jackson. We had lost his buddy on June 1 and this was the first time I had left him for more than a few hours. Jackson was happy and well cared for. I’m so happy with the care Bryanna provides.”

“Rowan stayed with our blue heeler in our home for 6 days and was great with her. He was very patient and tolerant of her quirky habits. He took her for walks, car rides, played with her a lot and sent me many pictures. Rowan is very dependable and responds quickly to texts and asks questions if necessary. Thanks Rowan! Loved that you gave Terra your full attention while you were here.”

“Great experience! My very timid pup seemed very at ease and comfortable upon return. Will definitely hire Cheri again for pet sitting! Thanks Cheri!”

“We were on the road to Florida and our pet care fell through. I have never used this service, but my daughter told me about it as we were driving. Rather than turning around and canceling our trip, i began digging in to find care. But, a complete stranger in my home for 10 days!?!? The search was on!! It was reassuring that Rover completes background checks on all care givers. After searching, and contacting many employees, I reached out to Gabriella, and she responded so timely. She was on board and available to help me with our Boxer. Galadriel (Ellie), who is truly a love but not good with other dogs. This service and Gabriella, saved our trip!! She was very responsible, trustworthy, and went over and beyond what her responsibilities were. She brought in packages without being asked. She also cared for our Bearded Dragon, Ozzy, because she saw the need. She stayed the night, and basically took care of the house in our absence. I will definitely be referring this service and reserving Gabriella in the future!!! Thank you Gabriella, truly you took a weight off my shoulders at the start of our trip, and kept it off by taking such great care of our Ellie!!”

“Sarah is the exact person you are looking for to care for your pet while you’re away. They are enthusiastic and ask important questions. They also send updates and photos while you’re away. We will use Sarah to watch our dog whenever we are away and they have availability.”

About: I have taken care of many of my friends pets since I was 12 which includes staying overnight at their homes when they are gone for weeks. I do long and short care sitting for pets. I love to spend time with pets and making sure they get the care they deserve. I am currently not working right now but will have a part time job soon. I will talk with the owners and work out a good schedule that will work best for all. Growing up we have used an invisible fence and radio collars to keep our dogs in our yard. We made sure to check in on them periodically while they were outside. While I'm taking care of my friends pets, I would play inside and outside with them, go on walks with them, and make sure they get the best care.

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to seniors needing extra support. What sets me apart is my comfort and training with medical needs. I can confidently give oral medications and administer insulin injections. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and cared for in the comfort of their home I have the luxury of working from anywhere, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. This allows me to adjust to your pet’s routine—whether they need early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care. I can even stay overnight without disrupting my own work, making it easy to keep pets comfortable in their home while giving them consistent love, attention, and any special care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routines closely so they feel secure and stress-free. I keep a close eye on their environment—making sure doors and gates are secure, food and water are refreshed, and any medications are given correctly and on time. I also provide updates and photos, so you can feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I have the most experience caring for Dogs and Cats but have also cared for Fish, Rabbits, a Tortoise, and a Bearded Dragon. I am open to caring for other types of animals also. I am Nursing Assistant working as an independent contractor. I make my own schedule and with enough notice I am able to accommodate most scheduling requests. As a currently pet-less animal lover, I am excited for the opportunity to spend time with and care for your animal(s) according to your instructions.

“Kyndall is an excellent dog sitter! Very flexible with times and sent update pics throughout the day. I could tell when we got back that my Winston was well taken care of and the house looked exactly like how we left it. will definitely be booking again in the future! :)”

“Tina is a wonderful and reliable petsitter. She cared for our two Boxers and one cat in our home for 10 days and we got very sweet photos. House was in the exact condition we left it when we got home. All pets were happy. The dogs snuggled with Tina in bed every night, just like they do with us. Shy kitty cat even came around to get some love. Definitely recommend.”

About: I've taken care of a wide variety of dogs, as well as have been involved in dog shows, AKC pedigree events, canine good citizen training, and am patient with dogs while being tolerant to their antics. I am pretty flexible as I can wake up early, take care over my lunch, and late at night as well as I stay up late. I am careful but easy going with pets. I follow details for feeding, hygiene, and medication if needed. I require a meet and greet before providing services, to ensure I can properly handle the needs of your pet, as well as your pet getting along with me -- as you never know who they may like or dislike -- and want to ensure safety and proper care is given. I will record details of feeding, hygiene and medication to ensure I am consistent on their needs.

About: I've cared for many different breeds of dogs since I was 8. I have taken care of many different types of animals including birds, cats, and even reptiles! Friends and family have trusted me with their pets for years. I work four days a week at Fox Valley Tech, and once I get off of work, Chase and I go on adventures. I would love to take your pup along! My dog LOVES any animals. Does not matter how big or small he will keep them company. He is an active part of my life and goes with me pretty much everywhere so you can rely on me to keep your best friend in good company.

About: I've grown up with dogs, cats, and other small animals in the home all my life. I also have years of experience with equine care. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. I've had dogs of all ages, so I have experience with both seniors and puppies. Though I have a part-time job, my availability is still quite flexible. Your pet will be housed with mine and treated just as my own. I have a spacious fenced-in yard and plenty of indoor space. My two very friendly dogs will keep your fur baby company. Crates are also available if needed.

“Responsive and responsible. I would book Cass again.”

I understand that each and every pet is unique, with their own personality, needs, and preferences. From high energy dogs (and puppies), who love endless playtime to low energy dogs (and senior dogs), I've got you covered! Whether its daily walks, feeding routines, administering medications, or providing companionship, I'm committed to tailoring my services to suit your pets individual requirements. I approach each pet sitting opportunity with genuine love and affection for animals.

“Brittany did an amazing job watching our little girl!! She was excellent at sending updates 3 times a day and our baby looked very happy and comfortable with Brittany. She also went above and beyond by shoveling a path for our girl to go potty after a snowstorm! We will be utilizing her services again without hesitation.”
