We can not explain how good it feels to come home after Bradlei watched our dogs. How house was spotless, dogs were SO happy, and the most beautiful gift basket/photos left behind. Incredible!! Thank you Bradlei!

Brooke did an excellent job taking care of my two babies! I love her positive energy. She also went above and beyond to deal with an unexpected situation with ants at the house. I highly recommend her!

Claire watched our 3 dogs for a week while we went on vacation. From the meet and greet to the actual trip Claire was quick to respond. Communication is the most important thing to me and she was great at all times through the week. Plenty of pics sent to while we were gone. The dogs were well taken care of and the house was too. So happy we found an amazing dog watcher so we can travel. Highly recommend Claire!

About: Although I have no professional experience working with dogs, growing up I have owned several. As a result, I have turned into a huge dog lover, and I am very comfortable around all breeds and sizes. In addition, I have handled dogs with varying types of demeanor from some that are more nervous and submissive, as well as those who are more dominant. I treat and love every dog I meet as if they were my own. :) I actually did Rover for several years, but took a break as I moved to the UK for a bit. I'm back in the Chicagoland area now though as I figure out next steps, which means lots of time for walks, playtime, and snuggles as I navigate the minefield that is LinkedIn. I'm always happy to check in throughout the day with pictures and videos as I want to make sure you feel confident that your dog is properly taken care of while you're away. Please reach out if you have any further questions! Other languages: fluent in American Sign Language, conversational in Spanish. As mentioned, I'm currently readjusting to being back in the States after living overseas for a few years. As of right now, I've got very open availability. I'm currently unable to have pets in my home. But I'm happy to meet your fur baby where they are and follow whatever routine they've got set. Just let me know!

Caroline kept in touch at least once a day and sent pictures of my dogs. My dogs did have several accidents that I found in other rooms and on my rug a few times. When I got home my dogs had no water and both were extremely thirsty. I did ask her to get my mail daily and put it on the counter, however, that didn’t happen and my mail box was over filled. Overall she did a good job, my little dog seemed a lot lighter because he doesn’t eat when I’m gone, they are both back to themselves today.

Anthony and his wife Becca were EXCELLENT dog sitters and such kind people. I met them before the stay and knew they would be great. They immediately greeted Tia and played with her. I couldn’t be more happy knowing my dog was in such good hands! She gets anxious when we leave and I’ve been told in the past that she doesn’t eat well when we’re gone. Day one she was already eating all her food with them and they even sent me a picture! It eased my mind knowing she was comfortable with Anthony and Becca. I saw her some back from some walks on the ring looking so happy! They also sent me pictures and updates! Thank you so much Anthony and Becca!

Emily was great! She stayed at our house for 5 nights, watching our 10 year old great Pyrenees. She was available to house sit with only a week's notice, which we are very grateful for. She had good communication on giving me updates and also very timely whenever I reached out. I had genuine peace of mind while we were out of state. House was just as clean as, maybe even cleaner than, when we left it, huge relief after our long day of flying. We came home to our happy sleeping dog! Our dog just required morning/evening feeding and morning/afternoon/evening potty breaks at a minimum, and Emily definitely put in more than the bare minimum. She gave our dog all the extra weather permitting outside play time and inside loves that I would have given my dog if I was home, so we are very happy with Emily! Definitely would rebook! Thank you Emily!

This was our first time using Rover since we found ourselves in a last minute bind due to our usual plans for our dog, Sadie, fell through and we didn’t want to board her given that she’s 15 and scared of other dogs. Klaudia was absolutely amazing! She stayed at our house while we were gone and took such great care of both Sadie and our home. She was great at communicating and made Sadie and our whole family feel comfortable. I would highly recommend her!

About: I’ve taken care of senior dogs who had trouble seeing and walking, cleaned up after them, and handled puppies as young as 1 week old. I’ve worked with dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes, so no pet is too small or too big for me. I work part time so my availability changes week to week depending on my shifts, but I always know my schedule in advance so I’ll be upfront with you about when I’m available before we book anything. Pet care is something I take seriously so I make sure I’m not overcommitting if I say I’m available, I mean it. On days I’m not working I’m pretty much free for most of the day. Morning and evening availability is usually the most consistent for me regardless of whether I have a shift. I’ll always communicate with you ahead of time if anything changes and I’m not the type to leave you hanging last minute. I care for my own cat Simba daily, keeping him engaged and comfortable, the same attention and energy I’ll bring to your pet. In your home I’ll handle feeding, playtime, cleaning up any messes, and anything else your pet needs.

We cant find the words to express how grateful we were to have Jennifer watch our two furr babies, full blooded Labradors. We have never left our kids with anyone before, so it was a pleasure to have her in our home with the kids for 8 days and had not one worry! She sent us pictures and updates daily, which was wonderful to see how happy the kids were. Even with it being cold outside, she threw the ball for them and played with them. Not only did she take fantastic job watching our kids, she kept our home in tip top shape, and I have the worst case of OCD and I would have her back with no questions asked!!! If you want the VERY BEST, go with Jennifer, you will not be disappointed, worried or concerned about anything. She also did things in my house like vacuumed, mopping, and ran errands for me. She has the most upbeat personality and super likeable! We hit it off right off the bat.

About: Hi there! My name is Adrianna, and I’ve been around animals my whole life—I’ve had pets since I was 3 years old and started pet sitting when I was 8 for family friends. I truly love and adore animals, and I always treat them like my own. Whether your pet needs medication, shots, feeding, overnight care, a cozy place to relax, walks, or just some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priority! Let me know how I can care for your furry (or not-so-furry) friend! I have a 2 cats and 1 dog here in Illinois but I have 3 cats and 4 dogs in Florida with my mother where just recently moved from. I am willing to do anything for my animals and other animals that aren’t mine. I had to give cats and dogs medicine in any kind of way. With oral, anal ways, ear canal, soaps & shots.

About: I’ve raised and taken care of cats and dogs since I was a little kid. Since high school, I’ve pet sat for neighbors, friends and family. I’ve also spent a few years now fostering cats and the occasional dog. Through and through, I am a genuine animal lover! I downloaded this app as a way to create a pet savings for my pet babies. I have a young dog, Rue, who is OBSESSED with dogs. She’s great at matching energy. If your dog loves to play, she’ll play with them. If your dog wants to be left alone, she’ll leave them alone. She speaks dog really well and is great at respecting another dog or cat’s limitation. I have three kittens who love to play and two super senior cats. My girl Kaylee is 21 yrs old. I’ve had her since she was a kitten. I also have a 18yr old boy, Marcus. They’ll both still thriving. I have a two bedroom apartment so our second room is for them to play. I have six cat towers. I’m more than happy to board cats. If they need to be separated from my cats, I have a cat room they’ll love! The room was designed for our foster cats.

Heather did a fantastic job house sitting and caring for our senior dog. She followed his schedule closely, gave him the extra attention he needs, and made us feel completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She was responsible, respectful of our home, and kept everything clean. We especially appreciated her daily communication, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Heather is kind, trustworthy, and incredibly thorough. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.
