“I just wanted to say how pleased I am with Estefania's service! She's kind and made our pups feel very welcome. She sent daily pictures of them and was wonderful about communicating! Will definitely book again and highly recommend!”

“Diana and Brian take very good care of Piper. We can see she is always excited to stay with them and their pups which are her BFFs. So lucky to have found wonderful sitters.”


“Lisa was wonderful. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day and I genuinely felt like my dogs were being cared for and loved while they were with her. I highly recommend her services. Thanks, Lisa!”

“Debbie and Reggie took very good care of Daisy and Patch. They communicated well with us and sent daily photos. They clearly kept our pups active and attended to. Feed well even our dogs can be finicky eaters. Would definitely use them again.”
“I feel like Kyle struck the jackpot when we found Renae for boarding! It was easy to arrange pick up and drop off and we were able to meet up beforehand so that Kyle could meet Renae's two dogs. Renae kept me posted with pictures and updates about how Kyle was doing. I'm a new dog owner and Kyle is young, so I didn't know how he'd adjust to a 2+ week stay with someone else, but he had a great time and was lucky to be able to find a new playmate in Renae's younger dog. I highly recommend Renae!”
“Lucero actually watched my bearded dragon through Rover. She took excellent care of him. I received videos and pictures daily. He was very spoiled in her care. Would definitely use Lucero again!”

“Amy and her family were terrific with my pup. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates. Their yard is fenced too, which was a big plus. Would definitely board again with Amy’s family.”
About: I grew up with two loving dogs, a Beagle and German Shepard/Pit bull. I am now a cat mom and have a love for animals of all kind! I am open and will provide the utmost care and love for your pets stay with me. We have a home with plenty of space and I work from home so I hope to welcome more friends to make my work day more fun! I’m happy to be the temporary home away from home for your beloved pets. Thank you! I work from home and enjoy going on walks often! I also have a cat at home that would loves some friends to play with so there’s is plenty of company to be had in my home. I have a spacious home for your pet to enjoy their time and can take them on leashed walks around the neighborhood or nearby dog parks! I can easily crate them if needed.
About: 42 yrs of having animals in my life big or small of any kind. I have a sense of what Animals want just by their behavior and sweet look in their eyes. Animals bring out a silly personality in me I wouldn't have otherwise. Frosty Paws on their birthday. I work from home which makes taking care of animals easily accessible and reliable. Available evenings and weekends too. I have 2 cats of my own that would love to make new furry friends. I have a fenced in yard. Animal friendly neighborhood for walks. My 2 cats Eclipse and Beastie would not mind either although Beastie would run and hide until her curiosity peeked. Both cats are spayed/neutered and shots are up to date. Require up to date shots to include Bordatella/Distemper and flea/tic protected. Wont leave home without them!!

“Thank you again for taking such great care of our dogs these past two weeks. We really appreciate the updates, the communication, and how well you handled their routines, especially with our special request needs. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing they were comfortable with you. Thanks for everything.”

“La Toya is wonderful! She has taken care of my pup twice already and we have her booked for a third stay as well. We love that she has dogs already which helped set our pup at ease and provided good play for him. He comes home happy, tired, and well fed. La Toya is professional and kind in handling your pets needs and we certainly recommend her!”

“Daniella was incredibly helpful, accommodating, and truly went above and beyond in caring for our puppy. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable and attentive hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

“My mini poodle was with Fanny for two nights. Fanny took care of him very well and she sent pictures and videos every day. My dog was very happy with her and her own little dog. Highly recommended!”

About: Hi! I’m Nicole, and I work remotely as a graphic designer while pet-sitting! I’d love to hang out with your baby or take them on walks or just keep them company! The details: I’m currently open for a recurring lunch time walk/drop-in spot! I do have meetings throughout the day and work full-time, so it’s u likely I can accommodate any other weekday times. Weeknights and weekends are open though! I am open to sitting for all types of animals! I love to be outdoors, so walking and playing with your pet will be a treat for both me and them. I’m also cool with a little snuggle bug watching tv on the couch! I’ve walked and spent time with dogs of all shapes and sizes through volunteer work at a shelter in SK. You can count on me to love your pet as my own while I’m with them. I have no problem giving medication or any other special needs your dog might have. - I require meet & greets. - All pets must be up to date on vaccines. - All pets must be in generally good health. - I am not able to offer constant care during daytime hours on weekdays. (Additional costs will be applied for constant care). - Please let me know all about their personality, quirks, and habits! House Sitting notes: Every sitter uses this service a bit differently. For my services, house sitting = staying overnight in your home and caring for the pet between 5pm - 8am and 1 drop in around noon. Any additional needs require additional drop-in costs because I am not able to stay in your home the entire day (I must care for my own pet and another client daily). Don’t hesitate to ask questions if you have any! I'd love to hang out with your pet and work out a schedule! I do work full-time but have some flexibility in my hours. I currently have an opening for lunchtime walks or drop-ins, and I’m always open to doggy daycare. Weeknights and weekends are open! My home has a fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play, our house is small but we live in a quiet neighborhood with lots of good places to walk and sniff!
“Sim stepped in on short notice after an initial dog sitter arrangement fell through, providing immediate help during a stressful situation. Sim and his family welcomed our puppy as one of their own, ensuring he felt comfortable and at home. It was so nice to get regular updates, including pictures and videos, throughout the stay. This frequent communication allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation without worry. Sim is a highly dependable and caring dog sitter, ideal for pet owners seeking reliable, communicative, and compassionate care for their dogs.”
“When we went on vacation. We left our dog Rambo at Jeana's house. She took care of him like her own child. Rambo felt like he was on vacation. I really recommend her. Thank you very much for taking care of our dog. She is. the best!!!”

“Nicole was fantastic in keeping my Romie. She eased my mind by sending pictures and text. She answered all my questions and listened to my concerns . I am usually overly worried about my 12-year-old grandson Romie but Nicole assured me she could do the job and she did. I will use Nicole on my upcoming trips. Thanks again for the excellent job !!”

“The care Kimberly provided was top notch. Our pup was well cared for and we were able to enjoy our time away knowing he was in good hands. We will use Kimberly again without hesitation.”

Joliet pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ana was amazing! She watched our pup when we came in out of town for a wedding. He was such a happy little guy & so cozy with her when we came to pick him up. She was very sweet and even worked with our schedule around the wedding to make things work last minute. Thank you so much, Ana! We appreciate you & Junior misses you!
