About: I grew up with dogs, worked at PetSmart for many years, continued dog sitting professionally, and raised my own current dog, Gizmo, from 5 weeks old. I have gone through extensive training and I use that to help others with training issues when I can. I've been through various medical issues and found the appropriate care, including for a choking dog. I am an artist and like to photograph or draw they dogs I care for - have done separate pet portrait work not included with dog sitting. I like to try to really communicate with and understand each dog in their own circumstances. I have a dog park available just a short walk down the street. I have the ability to schedule working from home if needed. Typically, if you would like your dog to stay at my home, they will be sharing space with my dog, Gizmo. So please communicate if you need special consideration for alone time. I take walks or visit the dog park in the mornings. I typically work 10 to 6 Monday through Friday at an office, but can schedule days to work from home if a dog is staying and can not be left for a long period of time. My dog is Gizmo. He is okay with other dogs and will typically play a little outside and leave your dog to have their own space inside. You will need to discuss your situation with me if your dog needs alone time with me as I would need to address Gizmo's care under those circumstances. My house is on the smaller side, but the yard is fenced in and is reasonably sized. There is a dog door available to allow easy access to the yard. Dogs are allowed on couches and the bed in my home. I have one large crate if you would like your dog to use one. Each room can be closed off if separation is needed. If I am caring for a dog in another home, I need to take the same consideration for Gizmo. Please share your needs so we can adjust as necessary.
“This whole experience has been just amazing. From the constant reassurance of videos and texts to the undeniable love for dogs is what made us so happy with the care we received for Milo. We were a little wary leaving our little guy for a couple of days, but we’re very surprised to learn he was having a better time there than he was at home. He made a lot of little friends and received so much love. Will definitely be booking again in the future!!!!!”
“Sheree is an amazing pet sitter! She sent me photos and videos throughout Zoe’s first overnight stay with her and King. To see Zoe adjust so well so quickly was the best! Allowed me to enjoy a night out in the city with my boyfriend and his family without having to worry about my fur-baby. Will definitely recommend Sheree to family and friends!!”
“Candace was a great sitter. She was very good on giving updates daily along with pictures. She took good care of my dog. Definitely will book again in the future if needed.”
About: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve just really cherished being around animals, even the ones who aren’t super cuddly. I have a lot of patience and respect for each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their people are away. I work full time during the week and try to stay busy on the weekend, but I will absolutely work my weekend schedule around you/your pet’s needs. I have a big fenced backyard and plenty of space inside for house-trained pets to relax, whether that’s on the couch, a comfy chair, or the floor. I share my home with one dog, a terrier mix named Minnie. She’s playful and friendly, but if your dog prefers to keep to themselves, I can easily keep them separated. Older dogs sometimes find her a bit too energetic, while younger pups usually have a great time playing with her.
“Mariah was amazing with our dog! The meet-and-greet was a great way for them to feel each other out, and it went perfectly. During the five days we were away, Mariah sent daily updates with photos and a diary of our dog’s activities, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed all of our care instructions perfectly and even washed the blanket in our dog’s kennel before returning her to us, such a thoughtful touch! When we got home, our dog was calm, happy, and completely herself—no uncustomary behaviors at all. We plan to book Mariah in September again. Highly recommend!”
“Katarina was so patient with Luna and I appreciated the whole process from the intro to the pick up!! She made me and Luna feel extremely welcomed and shared plenty of pictures. I would absolutely use her again and would recommend! 10 out of 10, no notes!”
“OMG she was wonderful. Her space was nice and clean she checked in everyday with me I was running late she assured me it was ok my dog went on play dates and much more. I would definitely be using her every time.”
“Barbara, thank you for always taking such good care of our senior Yorkie, Dallas. We can tell how comfortable he feels staying, with you and it means a lot to us.”
“Ra’eesa was an amazing sitter for our pup. She was attentive and sent pictures and updates while we were gone. Thank you Ra’eesa for taking good care of Clue while we were away!”
“Thank you for taking care of my baby(dog) .. received many pictures of him having fun at your home.. definitely enjoying his time there.. he also got a bath .. next time in town I we’ll definitely be using your services and my baby will be able to have fun again with you guys”
“Tim is a great guy who is amazing with animals. He provided pictures and updates every day. My dog did not even want to leave. He obviously provided great care and was very flexible with my schedule for pick up and drop off. I really appreciate his dedication and genuine love of animals.”

Our dog had a wonderful stay with Ginebra! She took great care of him and was very diligent in providing for his needs. He seemed comfortable with her from the first moment we met and was happy and content when we picked him up. She was very accommodating when we asked to change our pick up time. We really appreciated that.I highly recommend Ginebra based on her compassionate care of our fur baby. Thank you Ginebra! We were so blessed to meet you and can’t wait to see you again!
I couldn’t have asked for a better pet experience for my 5 month old puppy. I reached out to Amy just a week before and was pleasantly surprised that she was available but also happy to watch my active 5 month old Golden Retriever. I could tell by her profile she was someone who would care for him well. And that certainly was the case . We had originally planed for a 3pm drop off and late night pick up after a concert. And less than 24 hours before that, I asked if she could watch him from 8am instead bc of a sudden change in my plans. She immediately responded that she was available and it was such a relief. At drop off, she asked me several questions about Cypher’s care and needs and it was very reassuring. I received many photos and a video of Cypher’s extended day with her. He had a blast running in her yard and playing and being with her two pups. He also got to meet one of the kittens she was fostering. He was also able to settle and sleep in a crate she had available. It was the perfect environment for him. I’m so thankful for the care she took of him. He came back to me happy and was clearly well looked after. I highly recommend Amy. She is very trustworthy and cares deeply for animals as is evident in my experience with her. I would use her again.
Danny was great with my dog, Gabe, and was extremely easy to communicate with! He was very accommodating and was understanding of the intricacies that come with boarding a large dog. He made sure to take many pictures and texted me to help alleviate my own anxiety about being away from my dog. When we met Danny for a meet and greet, my dog instantly was comfortable. I have never seen him like that at a commercial boarder. I am very grateful for Danny!

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

Many sitters in IL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
