“Catherine always does great with our dog! He was nursing a leg injury and had some last minute meds from the vet, and Catherine was good about sending updates and giving him the meds as needed. He came home feeling better than when we dropped him off. I highly recommend her!”

“Kelli was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, we typically have family watch our dog but we were getting married and didn’t have anyone to watch her for the weekend. Kelli made us feel so comfortable with updates and pictures! Josie had so much fun playing with the other dogs and being able to explore in her big back yard. We will absolutely be using her again in the future!”

We also paid a little extra to get our baby groomed before bringing him home and she did amazing! We could tell that he had a fantastic time with her while we were gone. Definitely recommend! Will use again if needed. Thank you!!”

“Robin was so responsive and kind. She took care of our dog for 3 days while we were on a trip and it was so much better than the kennel. He was clearly happy and comfortable and had plenty of time outside and with people, his two favorite things. Robin was totally comfortable with him right when he arrived, kept us posted with updates, and gave him his meds. 10/10!!”

About: I’m an experienced animal care professional with a degree in Animal Science and training in Pet First Aid. I provide knowledgeable, compassionate, and reliable care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I can also assist with basic obedience, leash training, and positive training techniques. I have a flexible schedule and offer a variety of pet care services, with daily, weekly, and monthly packages available. I’m currently enrolled in an extensive K-9 training program to further expand my skills and knowledge. Upon completion, I’ll be offering additional professional obedience training services. Whether your pet needs dependable daily care, exercise, companionship, or help with basic training, I’m here to provide attentive and professional care you can feel confident in. As I build my small, home-based pet care business, I have a flexible daily schedule and am available throughout the day, making it easier to accommodate a variety of schedules and pet care needs. I also offer weekend and holiday availability. I offer daily, weekly, and monthly service packages and am happy to work with pet owners to create a care routine that fits their pets’ needs. My goal is to provide every pet with safe, attentive, and personalized care while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in experienced hands. I have two dogs and two outdoor cats of my own, and I maintain consistent routines for my animals, including feeding, rest and nap times, bathing, outdoor time, exercise, and daily care. When boarding animals in my home, their safety and comfort are my first priority. New boarding pets will initially be kept separate from my own indoor animals until I have had an opportunity to learn their temperament, behavior, and comfort level around other animals. This allows for a gradual and safe introduction rather than immediately placing unfamiliar animals together. I have a designated “dog room” in my home specifically for pet care. It is a tiled, easy-to-clean room equipped with appropriately sized crates and kennels to accommodate different breeds and animal sizes. This provides a secure, comfortable space where new or boarding pets can settle in while remaining safely separated when needed. As I learn each pet's personality and needs, I can adjust their routine and level of interaction accordingly. My goal is to provide a clean, safe, structured, and low-stress environment where every animal receives attentive, individualized care.

“Danielle was amazing with my senior[16] blind husky. All of her huskies are well trained and played very well with my dog. Danielle is very knowledgeable and I trust her to watch my senior husky with no worry. My dog tends to shut down around other people and completely ignore other dogs. When I picked her up she was very happy and playful with the other huskies after a couple days with them”

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Matteson home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Matteson.

<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Matteson sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in MI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
