“Olivia did a great job with the puppers. She took good care of them while we were away. She made sure to ask how we wanted things done, so the dogs had as normal of a day as possible.”
“Terry is thoughtful and oh so sweet to my pups. She stayed at my home for several days watching my dogs & house. The house looked fantastic when I arrived home. She sent me several batches of REALLY cute photos of my babies, too!!”
“Sabrina looked after our two dogs while we went to a wedding. Our pups are a year old and don’t have a lot of experience being left for long periods, but they seemed immediately at ease and happy with Sabrina. That made it easier for us to enjoy ourselves when we realized we didn’t have cell service at the wedding venue. Didn’t get much of a chance to chat when we got home Sabrina said everything went well and she sent us cute pics of the babies thoughout her stay.”
“Lindsey did a great job taking care of our 3 dogs while we were out of town for the weekend. They can be high maintenance at feeding times, but seemed to have done well.”
About: I've loved dogs my entire life! In my 20s, my family members, friends and colleagues all knew me to be their "go-to" dog sitter. I looked forward to every opportunity I had to love on someone's fur baby! Due to my living situation at the time, I was not able to have a dog of my own. Currently, I have a 14.5 year old Pomeranian named Myles and he is truly my spoiled only child. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your beloved fur child as if he/she were my own. For drop ins and overnight house sitting, I am able to sit for dogs over 25 pounds as long as they can be let out in a fenced backyard and does not require walks. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns. I look forward to hearing from you, and meeting your fur child! My schedule is fairly flexible, with the exception of being unavailable on Sundays. Regarding "drop-ins", if you need someone to "sit" with your fur baby for a longer period of time in your home, I am available for that as well. My fur baby, Myles, has separation anxiety, so we have someone "sit" with him if we're away from home for more than 4+ hrs at a time. Feel free to reach out to me. I will be sure to care for your fur baby as if he/she is one of my own. Please let me know what his/her individual likes or dislikes are, etc.

She would work hard caring for your pet(s) to make it a highlight to both of your day!”
Lake Forest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jennifer did a wonderful job with our two boys while we were out of town. I get a little nervous leaving our somewhat clingy dogs with new people, but from the moment Jennifer came to meet them, they loved her. Our smaller dog is usually stand-off-ish with strangers and takes a while to warm up, but by the end of the meet and greet he was taking treats from her and giving her kisses. She sent plenty of updates and pictures while we were gone, which put us at ease. We came home to happy animals and a clean house, and would absolutely book with Jennifer again in a heartbeat.
Our second pet sitting with Betsy and she thoroughly spoiled our kitty again. She gave her much attention, play time, brushing, treats and provided daily updates on Sweetie’s activities plus house sitting tasks were much appreciated. Will definitely use again!
After my regular sitter cancelled because of family issues I was lucky to find Ariel. She came before the days I needed for a meet n greet. Both of my Boys were fighting over her attention as soon as she got here. I will definitely use her again. My boys are spoiled and love cuddle time. One is a “talker” and she sis great with both.
Wen took excellent care of my dog gus while i was gone, he spent time with him everyday and made sure he was very well taken care of. He gave me constant updates and pictures of how things were going, giving me total piece of mind knowing my dog was in such good care!
Jackie was amazing! Super communicative, sent daily photos, and all the dogs seemed happy throughout her visit. She even washed the sheets and towels before leaving. We needed a dog sitter last-minute for an out of town wedding, and she was definitely the right one for the job. Thanks, Jackie!
Hannah was absolutely outstanding and exceeded all our expectations. Her communication was exceptional—each day she sent cheerful, thoughtful updates along with the sweetest photos of Mamma and Elmer. Seeing their happy faces and wagging tails made it so much easier to be away. She cared for our pups and home like a trusted friend, treating everything with such genuine attention and love. We came back to a house that was spotless—it looked professionally cleaned—which was such a treat after traveling. Her quick responses, dependability, and overall attentiveness gave us total peace of mind. Hannah is truly a gem, and without question, she’s at the very top of our list for any future trips.
Zahaira house sat my dog and cat for a full week and did an AMAZING job. My dog is very high energy and anxious and Zahaira followed all of my instructions and sent me pictures of them playing every day. Even my cat who doesn’t like any strangers sat with her. I could not recommend more!!
Danelia was great with my 2 dogs. She listened carefully and followed all the instructions that I left for her. Smokey, my Irish Setter, thumped his tail when she arrived, which doesn't happen often when he greets people. She sent pictures and updates to let me know that everything was going good. She left the house in very good condition, just as it was when she arrived. I will definitely use Daniela again. She is a real sweetheart! My dogs loved her. :-)
Terry did an incredible job caring for our two boys, Ragnar and Rollo, while we were away for nearly 10 days. We had just moved into a new home, so they were still adjusting and needed someone patient, loving, and attentive—and Terry was all that and more. When we returned, the dogs were happy and relaxed, and the house looked fantastic. She clearly went above and beyond to make them feel safe and at home. We couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend Terry—definitely five stars, and we’ll absolutely be booking her again!
Tenica was very attentive to my animals - both dog and cats. She provided an update and picture to me while we were out of town. During our initial home meeting, my dog took to her instantly. She was concerned about my dog scratching and contacted me. I explained how she could help him and immediately she took care of the issue. Thanks Tenica.
Peyton was wonderful! Our pups can be a bit finicky with strangers and she & her little boy were a dream with them. She treated them like her own with tons of love & attention while we were away. We came home to happy pups & a home better than we left it. Thank you so much Peyton for helping us take a vaca & not worry about “our boys”.
