About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments for over 10 years. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and pets that need extra patience or attention. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and safety, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—not just watching them, but making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide consistent and attentive care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after 2 PM, with time set aside for walks, play, feeding, and check-ins. I make sure each pet gets dedicated attention and isn’t just “fit into” my schedule—they’re part of it. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who enjoy having company. I always introduce pets slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I can crate your dog if needed and will follow any specific routines, feeding schedules, or care instructions you provide. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels at home.
About: I have 6+ years experience in animal care, 2 years which were as a veterinary assistant. I have experience with all different breeds, puppies, healthy adult dogs, senior dogs, farm animals and dogs with disabilities/special needs. I also have experience with administering medications orally or by injection. I treat every animal like my own and would love to watch your pets. I am now a stay a home mom so I am always at home to provide your baby with snuggles, food, water, potty breaks and play time! Safety and happiness is a priority! I am always home to make sure your pet is safe and comfortable. I have 2 dogs they can play with or can easily keep them separate if needed. I always keep your pets best interest in mind.
“My cat visited Raquel for daycare and had a wonderful experience! She got plenty of attention, and you can tell Raquel really cares for all animals. I was sent photos throughout the day of mealtime and playtime and got regular updates, and knew my girl was being well cared for! Communication was excellent and everything went smoothly. Would recommend!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! Growing up with my grandparents, we’ve had 5 dogs and 3 cats at one time. I’m used to many different breeds from small dogs to larger dogs like a German Shepard Husky Mix. I currently have a 1 year old mixed breed (Medium Size: 50 lb) dog! I’m not sure exactly what breed he is but is listed in my profile :) I am home full time, I have one dog that is my ESA and he goes outside when he wants to, has a morning and evening feeding schedule and I clip his nails & bathe him every other week. Dogs are allowed on furniture & bed. I have a mid-size fenced in backyard with turf grass, safe for pets to run around and play in. I have plenty of balls, toys, and bones for pets to chew, and plenty of treats!
“Ash did a great job with our Schnauzer, Jack. She walked him regularly, made homemade treats for him and let him chill on her sofa. This was wonderful while we spent the day with great friends and was a great comfort to us, knowing that Jack was safe and happy. Highly recommend. Call Ash.”
“As always nothing to be said, I’m always pleased and to know my puppy loves Shayne and Jonathan and they love him is all that matters !!!! 💕🫶🏾💕🫶🏾 I trust them and I can rest at night when I’m not with my puppy Iyce !!”
About: I’ve been a pet sitter for more than 25 years. I specialize in senior care for dogs as well as young adults . My dogs are both rescues . I’m currently semi-retired and your pet is my priority. I am available holidays and weekend's. I have two small dogs, they are gentle and like other dogs. I have a fully fenced yard, and a doggie door leading to my backyard. I can crate your dog if that is what you prefer.
“Sad Rover wouldn’t let me tip higher! We love Jennifer! We have used her for both over night boarding and daycare service. She has been great about sending pictures and updates. Our boys always come home tired for days! Can’t wait to use her again :)”
“Jared and his wife do a magnificent job with our lab. They send lots of pictures and are in touch as needed. My dog gets a lot of attention when she visits, and she loves to go there. They are the best!”
About: I love all pets, especially dogs and enjoy spending my free time walking them, playing with them & taking them places! I have one dog in my home. He is a 1 year old boykin spaniel but gets along GREAT with other dogs! I have walked dogs for 3 years as a side job and have enjoyed it! I am a very active person and love the opportunity to use my energy with your dog! I have done over nights for a year and a half now & love adding the personality of another animal in my home! I am also available to visit in your home with you pet if they are more comfortable in their own environment! Can’t wait to meet your pets!
“Erika was excellent, not only taking care of our baby, but also being proactive in giving us updates and sending pictures, which let us know he was having a great time while we were out of town. Thanks again, Erika.”
“Jonathan was great. He was informative & kind. We are first time pup parents & he made leaving her for a few hours very reassuring. Will definitely continue using in the future. Thank you!”
About: I have always had dogs and can't imagine my life without them. I have a special love for large dogs and currently have a 6 month old Great Dane. I have raised and loved several other dogs throughout my life including Great Danes, German Shepherds, and a Rottweiler. I would be grateful for the opportunity to share my love with your fur baby, large or small. I currently work from home and I am available Monday through Saturday from 7:00am to 7:00pm. I have a Great Dane puppy so pet care in my home is around the clock. I have a large fenced backyard and climate controlled basement along with an active Great Dane puppy to keep your fur baby company. Every day will include outdoor play, weather permitting, and indoor activities catered to your pet.
“Gabrielle (and her family) was awesome! My dog clearly enjoyed himself and felt safe and comfortable during his stay. He had the perfect combination of tired energy by the end of it, which is a testament to Gabrielle and the whole environment. Can't say enough- super happy and highly recommend for others.”
“Our dog Leo loved his short stay with Madison on Thanksgiving Day. Communication was great and she was wonderful with Leo. He had a great time and would definitely recommend Madison.”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Northlake commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 SC 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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 389 sitters in Northlake, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
