“Jaime followed all instructions and kept the house spotless. Returned home to a safe and happy pet. Will definitely use Jaime in the future and would recommend to others.”


“Lilly was a great communicator, sent daily pictures, and followed all care instructions. Came home to a happy pup and spotless home. Will work with Lilly in the future and would recommend her to others.”


“Katie did a wonderful job cat-sitting for us. She is communicative and friendly and completely put our minds at ease that our cat was well cared for while we were out of town. We highly recommend her!”


“I cannot recommend Kat enough; my family is forever grateful to her. Prior to the week of Thanksgiving, we hadn't left our pets in the care of a pet sitter for more than a night since my mother moved away and couldn't watch them for us anymore. Every pet parent's worst nightmare happened while we were out of town - our dog, Barkley, had a very serious medical emergency that required multiple emergency vet appointments, one of which was more than an hour and a half drive away and took the entire day. Kat went so far above and beyond to take care of Barkley and keep us informed about what was happening. I am positive that if it wasn't for Kat being so observant, attentive, and generally amazing, Barkley wouldn't have lived long enough for us to get home and say goodbye.”


“First time using in house sitting and it went fantastic! Received photos and updates. Returned home and everything was great! Would recommend.”


“Ashton was perfect. We came home to a very relaxed and happy dog. That is a surprise as he is usually quite anxious when we leave. Thanks Ashton”


“Nadia went above and beyond. She took our pup paddle boarding & on a hike. I think our dog has a new best friend! Nadia left our apartment sparkling clean. I highly recommend booking with her!”


“Tracy was great! She was very communicative during her stay and gave our pets lots of love while we were away. It was nice to know our pets were able to remain in their own home (instead of boarding them) and be looked after by such a caring sitter. Thanks so much!”


“Jessica was great!! She sent pictures of our fur babies and kept us updated throughout the evening/morning on them! Will definitely be using her again!”


“Karen did a wonderful job sitting for our geriatric greyhound in our home! Very reliable and put our minds at ease with regular updates and pictures. Would highly recommend!”


About: I am an operations manager and I work nights on the weekends! This makes my week very free and flexible. If you need your pet cared for on a day different than the availability I have listed, message me! I may be able to provide services on alternative days depending on the week. I have a dog, Rigatoni, and he loves to play with other dogs. I love to hang out around animals and I will give your pet all the love it needs while you are away! My schedule for my job is Saturday night-Tuesday morning. This means that I am very flexible during the week. As a rover user myself, I understand the importance of communicating while watching someone’s pet, and I am excited to spend time with more animals. My apartment complex has an expansive green space. I will be able to walk your pet around a pretty environment based on the amount you would typically have them outside and their normal activity level. I love being active, so your pet will return to you happy and healthy. In drop by visits, I am willing to stay as long as needed to ensure that your pet has time to play or just be around someone while you are away.


“Kelli took great care of our babies! Thank you so much and going above and beyond with Harper and Lady, especially. I had a great piece of mind knowing she was taking care of them!!”


About: I’ve been taking care of pups and cats since I was around 14 years old! Since then, I’ve had multiple repeated clients and have gained so much experience over the years. I’ve worked with small dogs, larger dogs, and multiple breeds of cats! I know that I can provide the right care and plenty of love for your pet when you’re away. I love to take pictures and videos of their stay as well so you’ll always know how they’re doing! Pick me to be your sitter and you will not regret it!(: I’m currently working 2 jobs. I’m a part-time program assistant at Baldwin elementary school and a part-time cashier at Menards on the weekends. I don’t work more than 9 hours a day and I have multiple breaks in between to stop by and care for my client’s pets. For dog boarding, I have an apartment which has a big area for running and/or potty breaks. I also don’t mind if the dog/cat sleeps in the bed with me! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I currently work full-time at Menards and I work no more than 9 hours a day. I’m allotted multiple breaks during those shifts. I’m also able to request days off fairly easily to adhere to pet sitting needs. Currently, I only care for my cat, Bugs. I take care of his hygiene and play with him constantly. He’s always doing something with me when I’m around. He’s never bored! I will always keep an eye on your pet to ensure their safety. Whether it’s at my home or yours, I will create and maintain the safest environment.

“I went into a panic mode when we had a last minute trip come up and no one to watch our pups. Luckily someone told me about Rover and I ended up contacting Joseph. He came out so we could see how the dogs would react to him and we felt comfortable to have him take care of them. He messaged pictures and videos of our pups and made sure to let them play for a bit! I highly recommend having him watch your animals!”


About: Dogs and cats and lizards, oh my! I’ve done it all. For the first 18 years of my life I’ve had experience walking dogs, house sitting, and raising my own pets. Then I began working at a summer camp where I was partially responsible for taking care of our reptile family - crested geckos, bearded dragons, and ball pythons and were just some of the cuties I got to take care of. Since then I have taken care and owned cats, dogs, and lizards of my own and on the side have house sat and loved many family and friends pets while they’re gone. I even have experience with some medical administration such as insulin shots to a feisty cat and pills to the dog I currently own. I can’t wait to get acquainted with your family member :) My schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate most any time a pet needs taken care of, including during the work day and weekends. I have three dogs, one cat and a crested gecko currently who are all very loved and spoiled by myself, my husband and our almost two year old. We’ve taught all the dogs recall, leash training and how to be gentle around young children. Our cat is an old man with feline herpes, one of our dogs needs daily oral medication and the juvenile gecko gets extra attention as he continues growing.


About: I have taken care of dogs all my life! Gieuening love all animal as they were my own. Even the ones I see walking by! lol. Growing up we had 4 dogs (3 boxers and a pit mix) and a cat. One female boxer, Cookie♥️, had acouple litters which I learned how to take care of puppies, training, and eventually senior care. When I was younger I would show our dogs in 4H for obedience training. Currently work as a chemist from 9-5, and I’m looking for something fulfilling to do on the weekends. Petcare is an apart of my daily routine. Our pets are our babies♥️ My philosophy is to do good and do whatever I can to make animals happy and comfortable. Being constantly aware of your surroundings is very important, especially today’s world. Safety and the wellbeing of the pet is the up most priority.

“I will always book Ally for all of my house sitting needs! She’s always on time, she takes pictures and sends me updates and keeps my house nice and tidy! She is fantastic with Lucy and you can tell she has a real connection with animals! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Anyone would be lucky to have Ally look after their pets!”


About: I love animals! I will play with them, feed and water them, and take them for walks. I love to train animals like to sit and shake. I can give baths to them and wash them and I can also get rid of fleas for them. I'm available Tuesday-Thursday anytime unless I have an appointment. I only have a dog and a cat and they're both spayed and neutered, my dog is very playful and has been great around other dogs and my cat likes to sleep a lot so she won't be any bother to your animals. My animals are playful so if yours are, they would love to play. Your animals will have an amazing time with me and will be well watched! I currently work Friday-Monday 2pm-10pm. I love animals and walking them also puts some exercise in my routine when I just sit in at a desk all day lol I care for your pet just as much as I care for mine! I have an amazing cat named Nova. I make sure she, of course, has food,water, and litter. I play around with her all the time and I smother her with kisses every day. Every time I go to a house with pets, we both just instantly like each other and I play with them! I also have an Australian Shepherd named Ellie and she loves to play outside and go for walks

About: I care with love, patience, and presence. I’m experienced with both playful pups and senior pets, and I treat every animal like family. Reliable, calm, and faith-rooted. Your pet is safe with me. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my week when I’m not waitressing, serving in student ministry, or at church. I have a flexible schedule and love spending my free time caring for animals with presence, love, and joy. 🐾 I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following their routines closely, giving lots of love and attention, and keeping their space clean and secure. I respect your home like it’s my own and send regular updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. 🐾

About: I've loved dogs ever since I can remember! I've helped some at a vet clinic and cared for dogs there. I have had my own dog who was a senior. I am very comfortable with, and have a soft spot in my heart for seniors. I actively dog sit acquaintances' dogs. I am very active and will love to run and walk your dog! I am not currently working, so I am home and happily willing to give 24 hour care to your pet. I have the extra time to spend playing with, walking, and snuggling your precious pet! I have a chain link enclosure with a high quality dog igloo, and I can easily crate your dog if needed, as well! While my yard is not fenced, I am home much of the time and am able to take your fur baby on long walks and playtime.
