“Jecinda watched our 2 pups while we were out of town. Her knowledge as a vet tech came in handy when she noticed one of our dogs needed to be seen by a vet. We’re so thankful to have left them in her care!”
“Excellent as always. I have been using Lynsi for the last three years whenever I need someone to watch my dog. She is amazing and I know that my little guy is in good hands. Highly recommend!!”
“Dannah did a great job with our 11 month old Sheltie. She was especially patient with our timid, yet high energy herding puppy that has an instinct to herd everyone. We appreciated Dannah's diligence and support as we teach our young one the rules of the playground.”
“Sierra was a pretty amazing find especially on short notice coming into town unexpectedly and needing care for my older and anxious shelter dog. I got lots of updates and photos of the old man looking at ease and very well cared for… and Sierra was incredibly communicative and flexible! I would highly recommend and def use again!”
“My review is she was great! I trusted her from the get go, dogs don’t talk and he was so mad at me when I returned. Definitely not her fault. I will rebook because I trusted he had a great time. I think I will be booking her once a month for a day, and that will let Bear know, I will always come back!! Trust her, she’s great! And her daughter!”
“Sarah was great at watching our two dogs over Christmas, even our large one with anxiety. She also didn't have a problem keeping them on such short notice. Definitely recommend.”
“Brittany watched my pup for two weeks while I was out of the country. She was patient with me and sent me many pics and videos to help a nervous Furmom stay calm. Naturally, my pup was excited to see me when I returned, but I could tell she was very comfortable in her surroundings at Brittany’s home. This was our first visit, but certainly not the last. I am very grateful for Brittany and her family.”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From growing up with cats and dogs to spending the last four years working with an animal rescue, caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s what drives me. I’ve helped care for rescue animals and pets of all personalities and needs. My goal is always the same: to make every animal feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owner is away. I'm currently working part time. I can be available in the mornings before 8am and most afternoons after 4pm. My working days change, but I am happy to fit what is needed in my schedule. I have a fenced in yard. I do have two friendly dogs whome are kenneled off and on, and 2 cats. I also foster and help care of others animals in their homes and sometimes in mine for periods of time.
About: My partner and I started our dog sitting and boarding journey out of a deep, lifelong love for animals. Caring for pets has always come naturally to me — I’ve been around and caring for animals of all kinds since I was a child. We’re not just pet sitters; we truly treat every animal like family. When your pet is with us, they’re not just safe — they’re loved, spoiled, and given the kind of attention and care we’d want for our own. You can feel confident knowing your furry friend is in kind, experienced, and devoted hands. My partner and I currently work part time, we have plenty of time for potty breaks, walks, and play time. We are home every weekend and home early afternoons. We’re proud to offer a spacious, secure, and visually enriching environment for your pets to enjoy. Our home sits on 10 acres of cleared land, giving plenty of room for safe exploration, fresh air, and playtime. We do require all pets to be flea-medicated and up to date on vaccines for everyone’s comfort and safety. We share our home with two friendly dogs and two cats, so all visiting pets must be well-socialized and dog/cat friendly. Your pet will be treated like family here, with lots of love, attention, and space to thrive. We’re also happy to provide add-on services like light grooming, cleaning, and nail trimming upon request — just let us know what your pet needs!
About: I have always had pets of my own my entire life. I am also the go to dog walker, kitty sitter, and fish feeder in my neighborhood. With my medical skills ( with specific instruction from you) I can administer pills and medications as needed. I am highly responsible and will treat your fur babies with much love and follow your routines to keep them happy. I am happy to take them for many walks and play as much ball as they would like:) As a homeowner and pet owner myself. I can appreciate also that leaving your pets in the care of a stranger can be nerve wracking. I will treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I give mine. Since I’m retired, I have the flexibility and availability to give your pets the attention, companionship, and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether your dog loves playtime, walks, cuddles or simply having someone nearby. I will make sure they feel comfortable and cared for as if they were my own. Your pup will be treated like family in my home. I have a large fenced-in yard for safe playtime, they are welcome to my entire home—no being confined to a kennel unless that’s what they are used to and prefer. They will always be treated like one of my own 🐾 ❤️

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 McHenry 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 McHenry.
Tip: 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 McHenry 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 MS 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.
