About: I have taken care of service dogs for 2 years in college now as part of the service dog club. I have taken care of puppies and old dogs so you’re in good hands. I’m working remote as a software engineer for a start up so I’m fully available for any time and any schedule that works for you. I live in a great suburb for tons of space for any sized dog to walk and play and tons of space inside as well.
About: hello! my name is charlize i’m 22 i’ve grown up with animals my whole life and now i currently work at an animal hospital helping taking care of the dogs and cats that come in to see the vet. i’m very experienced with animals and taking care of animals and i love all different kinds of animals. i’ve worked at the animal hospital now for two and a half years and its been the most amazing two and a half years of my life. i am also going to school to practice becoming a veterinarian so i am really excited to meet all new furry friends for more experience. i am good with administering medication, i am good with dealing with aggressive dogs, i am good with any diabetic cat or dog with dosing insulin. you name it and i can do it!! i work part time hours at the animal hospital during the summer months and full time during fall and winter but i am extremely flexible, as i work on my terms and conditions. i am willing to fit last minute accommodation if it works with my personal schedule but i can also take time out of my day if needed to walk a dog etc. i unfortunately cannot have pets in my building but i am more than willing and able to go to anyone else’s beloved home to pet sit, or walk, or feed animals. i come in with a soft expression and wait for the animals to get used to me and my scent and then i wait for their approval to come further in their home/space. i am very careful to not touch them when they don’t want to be touched and i am always patient with animals especially if they’re new to my route.
“Claudia is great, takes the time to work with our new puppy, going above and beyond during her time with him. Very easy to communicate with and provides great updates each day!”
“Jason communicated beyond expectation when dropping in to feed and walk my dog. Jason was kind enough to meet ahead of time to do a quick walk through and get the key. Thank you Jason for your diligence!”
“Katerina was great with our cat. She arrived every day on time and always sent a picture! She was even able to give Tony his transdermal medication which can be a real pain. I would certainly book her again.”
“Anna was just wonderful! She came for drop-in visits and looked after my dog and cat while we were gone for 8 days. I looked forward to seeing the photos of my sweet dog on his walks and I couldn’t believe my extremely shy cat made appearances for photos, too! We were relaxed on our vacation knowing our pets were well looked after. Thank you so very much, Anna!”
About: I have grown up with animals, with my first dog being my 8th grade graduation present. From then on, we have always had at least two or more animals at home of any sort of mixture. I have cared for animals in various jobs, have watched family and friends pets for them, and have a little zoo of my own at home. I love dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, but seniors will always have a special place in my heart. There is nothing better than walking through the door and seeing your four legged friend wagging their tail, jumping in and giving kisses, or rubbing against you with excitement to see you. My schedule is built around full time pet sitting which is the core of my work. I also hold a part time job for steady income with fully adjustable hours allowing me to prioritize your pets care. Throughout the day, I keep detailed notes and send updates, photos, and messages to owners so they feel connected and reassured. Because pet care is my full‑time focus, I can be flexible with last‑minute requests, extended stays, or changes in routine. Overall, pet care isn’t something I fit into my routine — it is my routine. My schedule is built entirely around making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I am very respectful of my clients homes and their wishes. If they leave instructions or tell me certain things, I will follow as they say. Pet parents are the ones that know their babies the most and I value trust and honesty when working with someone.
“Rachel did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. She made sure to follow through instructions and clarify some additional questions during my stay away as well. This helped me feel reassured.”
“Abby has cat sat two times for me and is gentle and kind to my feline Furkids Velvet and Pepper. Abby gives velvet her insulin shots and gets her to play with wand cat toy which is good exercise for her. Pepper is the athletic one and lives to play with Abby. She gets on the floor to play with them and gives them affection while I’m away which is a relief to me knowing they are cared for. Abby has a big heart and great personality; sending pictures and video and texts! She is super sweet and my cats love her too.”
“Came home to happy and well-adjusted pets. Logan did a great job socializing with our dogs and very shy cat. Loved the photos she sent us each visit. We could see that they were enjoying their visits from Logan. She was perfect for our quick trip away to move our son off to college.”
“Ryan was fantastic! We were in a pinch and needed someone last minute and Ryan came through! Very reliable and gave great updates. And Daisy loved him! We will definitely use him again.”
“Christina did such a great job taking care of our cat, Sox. It's clear that she is very knowledgeable about animal behavior, and it allowed us to have a worry-free trip. I especially enjoyed her clever and informative updates, the pictures she sent at each visit, and the fun video of Sox at play. He was happy to see us when we returned, and he showed no evidence of stress whatsoever. Christina proved to be very reliable, and I would not hesitate to ask her to check in on Sox the next time we're away!”
“Jessica is absolutely the best! She showered our cat with so much love and attention while we were away for a few days. She sent pictures from each visit and the last 2 days she had him on her lap. I’m so jealous! 😁 We highly recommend Jessica!!!”
About: Dog mom for 30 years giving love and care to dogs. I am organized, I follow a schedule, I love walking dogs and I have a high degree of responsibility. I have the flexibility to accompany them when you can't be at home with them. I have flexible schedule during my day because I have my kid at the school and I am flexible in my work. Also I can go at nights if the owner request. I think the pets feel more comfortable in their home. But if the owner feels the dog will be comfortable in my place, I can take of them in my home.
About: I have hands-on experience raising and caring for my own dog from puppyhood. As the primary dog walker and caregiver, I played a major role in his daily care, including potty training, teaching him his name, and training basic commands and tricks. This experience taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand a dog's behavior and needs at different stages of development. Because I helped care for and train a young puppy, I'm comfortable working with dogs that require extra attention, structure, and exercise. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing positive reinforcement, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As an incoming pharmacy student at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, I'm also highly responsible, detail-oriented, and committed to following care instructions closely. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. As a college student currently on summer break, I have plenty of availability and flexibility to dedicate to pet care. This allows me to provide attentive care, accommodate a variety of schedules, and spend quality time with your pet rather than rushing between commitments. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or companionship, I can provide reliable and consistent care throughout the week. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that helps them feel comfortable and secure. During walks and visits, I stay attentive, follow all care instructions closely, and ensure pets are always in a safe environment. I also understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, so I'll provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you're away. I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own dog.
“Gabrielle is incredible! She takes great care of our 10 year old lab, leaves details notes and is great with communication. She is definitely our go to dog sitter!”
“Rima provided exceptional care for Lovey, my cat, during her pet sitting services. Lovey was in great hands, and Rima's communication with me was fantastic throughout. I highly recommend Rima to anyone seeking reliable and attentive pet sitting services. I will be using her again in the future. Thank you Rima!!”
Long Grove dog parents share their Rover experiences
Leah has been outstanding with our dog and drop in visits. She is very reliable, has been great with communicating and wonderful with attention and care to our furbaby. Our pet was sick one day in the house and Leah cleaned up after her and stayed twice as long at the house to make sure she was okay and the house was set. Talk about going above and beyond!! Highly recommend!!!
Arthur was great with my girls. 2 of them a bit leary with men they don't know well but seems things went well. He locked up when done and they all seemed just fine when I got home. He has a gentle nature with the pups and that is comforting from a stranger. I highly recommend to others and will call Arthur again.
