About: I've owned and cared for all kinds of animals my whole life. Professionally, I have experience working as a dog handler, kennel attendant, dog bather, and groomer. I also have extensive experience working and caring for cats, horses, and various small animals. My +3 years working at a dog daycare facility had me safely handling a pack of up to 25 dogs; providing exercise & engagement, soft corrections, and positive reinforcement. To do so, it was necessary to be observant and in tune with the dog's behavior and always on the lookout for any signs of stress or aggression. As a bather and groomer, I was focused on hygiene but a large aspect of the job relied on my knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques. I've owned cats my entire life and have worked with a TNR rescue the past few years getting pregnant females and unneutered male cats fixed and adopted. I also have pet care insurance with animal baliee coverage in case of emergencies. I always care for every animal as if they are my own and I understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable and loved. I work part-time on the night shift, so I'm out of the house between 9:30pm and 3am Monday through Friday. Outside of that- my schedule is flexible. I am available on most weekends and holidays. I only book one client at a time for boarding, so your pet(s) will have my full attention. I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood with a huge, unfenced yard. I own a variety of animal care supplies and equipment including lunge-line leashes to keep dogs safely on my property.

“Thanks for taking such good care of our boys!”

“Felt totally confident that Katie would take good care of our babies from our initial meeting and we’re very pleased with the great care she gave and that she enjoyed her time with them. Wouldn’t hesitate to call her next time we need a sitter.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. I am a school psychologist and very in tune with animals and people and have a passion for taking care of others, especially dogs. I believe dogs truly make a house a home. I am off for the summer so have all day to take care of your pet. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs and would love to spend my summer with your fur baby. I have a fenced in yard. I have three teenage pet lovers who will also shower your dog with attention. I enjoy walking your dog if that is something your pet likes to do. I have a safe neighborhood with trails nearby. I will always be interested in your pet's personality. For example how they get along with other dogs and humans and I will always have their best interest in mind. I work full time but am off during the summer so I have plenty of time to play with your dog. During the school year I am not home from 7:30- 3:30 Monday - Friday. Howeyour family loves weekend visitors. I have a fenced in yard so your dog can play outside. I would like them to bring their own bed or crate so they feel secure at night.

About: I’ve spent the past nine years caring for my poodle, watching her grow from a curious little puppy into my best friend. She is my fur sister. That experience taught me the importance of patience, love, and daily companionship. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and truly cared for while they’re with me. I work part-time, which means I have lots of free time to give your furry friend the love, play, and attention they deserve. I’m available on weekdays from 8 AM to 8 PM. Having cared for my poodle for the past nine years, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and part of the family. In my home, pets have a cozy and secure space where they can relax, play, and enjoy daily companionship. I follow their usual feeding, walking, and play routines to keep them comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick closely to their familiar schedule, so they feel just as loved and secure as they do with you.

About: Hello all! My name is Ariel, like the mermaid :), and I have two years of experience caring for a wide variety of pets, from energetic dogs to independent cats. No matter the type of pet, I’m dedicated to ensuring they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while you're away. I love animals with my whole heart so it was a no brainer to naturally gravitate towards Rover as not only a form of extra income, but a way to interact with them more regularly. I take pride in being highly attentive to each pet's unique needs, whether it's going for long walks, providing playtime and exercise, keeping meal times consistent, or offering snuggles and companionship. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I’m committed to following your care instructions closely, including any special dietary needs, medication routines, or any other specifics. I also provide a google form before every booking to ensure we tailor your preferred method of care to all of your pets' specific needs! I may have only two years of experience, but I approach each pet with the same level of care and responsibility that I would for my own. You can expect regular updates and photos, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I look forward to meeting your furry (or feathered, or scaly) family member and providing them with the best care possible! I currently work remotely, which means I have the flexibility to provide your pets with the love and care they need without the restrictions of a typical 9-to-5 schedule. Because I work from home, I’m available during the day to give your pets extra attention when they need it most. Welcome to your pet’s home away from home! I offer in-home pet sitting at my spacious, pet-friendly house, where your furry friend will have plenty of room to relax and play. Our lower-level den is a large, comfortable space perfect for pets to explore, stretch out, and feel right at home during their stay. Your pet won’t feel lonely here—my two friendly cats love having new companions around and are happy to provide some extra company! I make sure every pet gets the attention, love, and care they need while staying in a safe, cozy environment.

“Evelina is reliable and happy to help! I have a scared kitty, so they never really interacted, but she came to feed and do the litter box each day and sent pictures to reassure me the job was done. Also, my cat eats a special diet and she prepared the special food (which requires extra steps) 100% on point. I would recommend her services and will use again!”

“Melissa was great!! Like most I was so anxious to leave my dog while at work all day. She was awesome with my dog and sent pics of him looking so happy and gave him treats. I video chatted with her prior and knew she truly is an animal lover.”

“Lauryn is a gem. She was very responsible and has a great way of expressing herself in the Rover report cards; there's a touch of humor in her reports that makes for delightful reading. She sent cute photos of the cat, even though she had to search for him because he's a very shy hider. She was determined to find him each time and even caught him on a brief video one time that simultaneously melted my heart and made me chuckle; she has a cute personality and one can see clearly she loves animals. There was an emergency when our lock broke (not her fault; it was an old lock) and her communication skills were top-notch plus she kept her cool. We engaged the help of a neighbor who interacted with Lauryn and got our lock replaced. A real fiasco, but Lauryn was willing to come back to our place right after the new lock was installed to take care of our cat and let me know he was okay. Thanks, Lauryn! We would definitely have you back again :)”

About: I'm a huge animal lover, and advocate, and would love the opportunity to care for your pets, as if they were my own. When I found out about this site/app, I was stunned I havent joined sooner. Ive been pet sitting for over 3 years across the country. I'm currently located in the Chicagoland area, but I'm open to all locations. Thank you for considering me. Right now my schedule is free, so I have open availability. Pet care is my top priority and I can work weekends and nights, as well. Before I enter a client's home, I always like to have a quick chat or meeting to determine personalities, safety, and schedules for each pet. My goal is to make the animal feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I try to establish trust quickly and empathetically. Every home and family is different, so I try and respect that.

About: I've been fortunate to grow up in a home filled with animals—a cat, a dog, and a bird—which taught me early on the joy and responsibility that come with caring for pets. Over the years, I've also had the opportunity to assist family members with their pets whenever they needed an extra hand. Each experience has deepened my appreciation for the trust pet owners place in caregivers. While I may not have formal training, I approach every pet with patience, attentiveness, and a sincere desire to ensure they feel safe and loved in my care. As a teacher and parent of two, my days are usually filled with lesson plans and family activities. However, during the summer break, my schedule opens up, allowing me the opportunity to focus on caring for pets. With more free time, I can provide attentive and loving care to your furry companions, ensuring they feel comfortable and cherished while you're away. Whether it's regular walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I'm here to make sure your pets are well taken care of during the summer months. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect the established routines and environments that they're accustomed to. I follow detailed instructions provided by the pet owners regarding feeding, exercise, medication, and any special needs. I also ensure the home is secure, clean up after the pets, and keep the owners updated with regular reports and photos. My aim is to provide consistent and loving care, ensuring the pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar surroundings.
