“Melissa took amazing care of my dog, ensuring he had plenty of exercise, play time, and snuggles during his weekend stay. Her place is set up perfectly for hosting pets, and she is very warm and knowledgeable. I received frequent updates throughout my dog's stay. I would not hesitate to work with Melissa again!”
“First time using Rover and Chelsey B., couldnt be more pleased with our experience. Our dogs were very loved and taken care of. She gave us a great peace of mind with updates during their stay as well. Highly recommend.”
“De’Aysia was wonderful and very communicative! She kept me updated with regular videos and activities that’s Graham was doing and made sure that he got plenty of time inside,outside, and with other dogs.”
“Khahn went above and beyond during Leo’s stay. She stayed in constant contact with me, sending pictures and even gave him a bath. She is hands on and very loving with the dogs in her care. We will definitely be back!”
“Kristine does a wonderful job of taking care of our older dog. She even bathed him, blew dried his hair, and cut his dewclaw that was quite long. We really appreciate how much care she gave to our Sparky.”
About: I've watched dogs and cats of friends, family and strangers on and off for the past 10 years. I have experienced with small to XL dogs, young and older! I’m a stay at home mom. Our boys are rarely home alone for more than a couple hours at a time, a couple days a week. I have a fenced yard and two boys that are ready to play. They have unlimited access to the yard, toys and water. We have a cat who is very friendly, but will most likely keep to himself.
“Our flight got delayed and September accomodated our request to hold Lucas past the pickup time. She send nice photos and when picking him, we can feel he was happy and safe.”
“I was looking for a new sitter….I found my previous sitter on here and she was amazing. Emily will be new sitter, she kept me updated with pics and Amaya loved being there. She truly treated her like one of her owns.”
“Such a nice family. I believe he was spoiled with all the walking and playing he did. Megan kept me up to date on all the excitement with texts and photos. I WILL hand her watch Wally again.”
“Words cannot even come close to describing Barbara!! She is everything I could ever ask for in someone I trust to leave my baby with! Paisley is a rescue dog and usually experiences high anxiety when I am not around. Barbara loved her like her own and the smile on my girls face when I saw her and how HAPPY she was warmed my heart. So blessed to have found and made a friend in Barbara!”
About: I have a warm home and large yard. The animals will be walked/let out with a leash but still get plenty of play time inside and outside. I love to cuddle up, watch a show, read together or have sing time and play with their toys. I’m currently a stay home fur-momma to Cleo(dog) and Diego(cat) and love to play. I am new to town and look forward to meeting y’all. I have a large non fenced yard so pets are taken out on a leash. I can provide a small crate for 1 or 2 small pets.
“Melody was so great with our dogs & they loved their stay. Her yard was perfect with a great fence & she was able to accommodate our high energy girl by taking her on walks. Would definitely recommend Melody & we so appreciate the care she showed our dogs while we were gone.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life growing up to adulthood. I currently have a 2 cats - Benny & Banks and a Cane Corso - Bentley! I love animals and caring for them and spoiling them when I have extra ones. I’m a trustworthy person and looking to help out those in my community with great care for your pets while you’re away I currently have a pretty open schedule for the most part for all days of the week. I am a property manager in Peoria and mostly work virtual except for the times I have to maintenance the properties. I am free most mornings, evenings, and nights. I have a fenced backyard and my gentle giant Bentley to keep your furry ones occupied while you’re away! We crate our dog when we are out. They will get plenty of love snuggles and treats in our home. I’m also a very trust worthy person with a clean record for someone to trust in your home while you’re away.
About: Hi! My name is Stephanie, and my husband, three kids (3, 7, and 10) and I are so excited to love your dog while you’re away! A Roof for Ruffs is the brainchild of our 10yo daughter. We are a foster family for a local dog rescue organization where we take in one or two dogs at a time until they can find their forever homes. We’re having so much fun with fostering that our sweet girl suggested we take on paying clients between our fosters, and donate some of the proceeds to the same local dog rescue organization. ♥️ I’ve owned dogs my whole life. Between fostering, petsitting for family, neighbors and friends, and caring for my own pups, I have experience with all ages—from very young puppies to seniors and everything in between; small and large breeds; well-behaved and questionable; medical cases, and even the occasional cat. 😱 Your dog’s vacay siblings for their stay will include a 2yo female Great pyr/St. Bernard rescue pup, and two 4yo guinea pigs. We are so very excited to meet your dog, and to treat them like family for their stay. My husband works full time, but I am a freelance writer with flexible hours working from home while caring for our three kids. In other words: your pup won’t be left alone often! 😆 **Please note: all pets must have proof of updated vaccines and be okay with kids (they will be loved on and spoiled by our kiddos while they’re here!) I am home daily with my kids, so lots of potty breaks and playtime is possible throughout the day. We are available most weekdays or weekends unless blocked while we have a foster or for travel. We have a 4-foot aluminum fence in the backyard and live on a public park with a walking trail for easy exercise options. We have extra dog crates here if your pup is crate-trained or feel free to bring your own.
“We are so happy that we found Rachelle, she is the best at what she does. She sent messages and pictures of my dogs daily. Kept me informed on anything going on with Bella and Molly. I will definitely use her again on our next vacation.”
About: I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I'm reliable, communicative, and always happy to send updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your dog is in great hands!! I’m currently working part time and in school mostly online. I only work 3 days a week, and during work can find time to take care of my furry friends! I have a fenced in yard, and a small yorkie to keep your baby company! Multiple dog bowls, and on hot days a baby pool!
