“Doug was great with Rose and sensitive to her needs especially during the rain storms over the weekend. Rose is scared of the rain and he took extra care with her. He communicated well with us on each visit. Highly recommend Doug.”
“Freaking FANTASTIC! Dogs really enjoyed you and you seem to have a fine touch with animals and how you capture their energy very well through a camera lenses. We will definitely book again!”

About: I am a retired high school educator, artist, outdoor enthusiast, and animal lover. I am a five-star walker and a very reliable and compassionate caregiver for your pet. I often feel we are kindred spirits and I am totally intrigued by their individual personalities. I have cared for dogs both personally or professionally for most of my life and willingly care for your pet and their individual needs. Whether it be exploring adventure, padding the neighborhood (walking or running), gifting belly rubs, or providing hydration & nutrition, your pet’s needs will be personalized while in my care with much love and affection. In the future, I hope to rehabilitate dogs and work with their family members to provide a safe space filled with discipline, affection, and a true sense of belonging. You can depend on me and trust that your pet will feel cherished and loved while in my care. Since retiring from teaching, my hours of 1:1 attention have expanded. I am now available to give full weekday hours to your pet in addition to my time during weekends. While caring for pets in parks and neighborhoods, I keep them on a leash during all walks and runs. If we are lounging in the yard I provide the dog an opportunity to relax on a lead while I am outdoors with them. For owners who allow their dogs to visit Lakewood Dog Park’s expansive exercise area, I monitor those dogs while they run and play off leash under my constant supervision. While indoors, I follow the rules that my pet owners prefer whether it be cuddling on furniture and slumbering in bed with me or crating them within their cozy caves with their favorite snuggle toy. I do everything I can to mirror the eating, playing, and napping comfort with the same positive experiences your pet receives in your living home while throwing in a little extra spoiling 🐶❤️🐶

I have 3 dogs of my own. I am the general manager of a daycare and boarding facility. It’s my passion! I follow exact instructions of how pet parents want their pet cared for.

About: It all started when I was 5 and my sister and I convinced our animal loving parents to add to our family, we got a golden retriever puppy and a kitten in the same year. I have never lived a day without a pet in 35 years! I have open availability. I have 2 smaller dogs and a parrot. I live in a nice, quiet neighborhood perfect for walking furry friends. Ricky and Lucy (cavapoos) love a good slumber party :) I do not have a fenced in yard. My pups know the perimeters. I do take leashed potty breaks and walks with pup visitors.

“Brian was great! My dog was recently spayed and he was patient with her and the e-collar and all the struggles that go along with that. He loves what he does and it’s noticeable with how he interacted with my dog.”
“Angela is a real pro! She did drop-in visits for our dog while we were on vacation. She was always on-time and gave him plenty of attention! She provided updates and photos. I would book her again and recommend her to others!”
About: I’ve been caring for, training, and owning dogs nearly my whole life starting from childhood to now fostering/watching for friends and family. I’ve also had experience working professionally as a pet sitter. Whether your pup is large or small I’ll care for them as if they were my own and bring all the playful energy as a young adult to provide a fun experience during my time with them. I currently work remotely and have increased flexibility for scheduling needs. Although I will need to primarily be at home during my working hours I am able to ensure your pets are taken care of in a timely fashion without being left for too long without potty breaks. Your boundaries for your animals whether they be rules or practices in your personal home will be closely followed and respected. I bring my years of pet experience to ensure their safety is my top priority when staying with them overnight or providing daily care along with giving them the company they’ll need while you are away.
“Ally did fantastic! She was very tentative and responsive coming to meet my dog and I before heading out of town! She checked in every time and took pictures so I knew my dog was in good hands! She really helped me feel at ease leaving my home and dog for a few days. This was my first time using Rover and I WILL be using Ally again! Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by puppies, kittens, and all kinds of animals. I was there when my first dog gave birth and helped raise the puppies, learning how to train them along the way. This past year, I’ve cared for my senior dog when she had trouble walking and caregiving. I’ve also had the pleasure of walking and caring for dogs of all sizes for several families. With my lifelong experience with dogs and cats, I know exactly how to make sure your pet gets the best care! I currently have two dogs of my own and absolutely love spending time with them!! They are my babies I am available for pet care during the evenings and early mornings, and I’m also available on weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) for dog walks or weekend dog sitting. I take care of pets in a cozy, safe space. I make sure they get their walks, playtime, and plenty of love. I stick to their feeding schedule and keep things clean—making sure they have their favorite toys around and giving them the love and attention that they need! When I’m at your place, I follow your pet’s routine to keep things as normal as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I’ll also make sure the place stays clean and tidy, and your pet gets all the attention they need while you’re away!

I would completely trust my pet with Michele, as I know she is 100% reliable and responsible. I have a rescue dog with issues and would not trust him with many people, but I know she would be the perfect person to provide the care he needs. She has animal sense and an understanding that many people do not have. She is about what is best for the animal and has a true love and compassion for animals that I respect and admire. Michele has also been instrumental in spearheading a project for a local dog rescue organization and has a concern for the greater good.”

“I can't recommend Holly enough! She is absolutely the best with my little dog, Max. From the very first moment, it was clear that she treats him like her own. Max immediately became a part of her family, and I could see how much care and attention she gave him. Whether it was going on walks, playing his favorite games, or just cuddling on the couch, Holly always made sure he was comfortable and happy. It's such a relief knowing that Max is in such loving hands when I’m away. Holly’s genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does, and I truly feel like he’s not just being cared for, but also loved and cherished. If you’re looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter, Holly is definitely the one you can count on!”

She’s sweet, soft and cuddly with the animals and makes sure they’re fed on time and if they have health issues, made sure the dogs took what they needed. Please give her a try and you will be satisfied just like I was!”

Port Barrington pet parents share their Rover experiences
Victoria has provided drop in visit services for us twice now and we have been pleased as has our dog Cider. Cider enjoys her visits as shared in photos and videos that Victoria sends during her visits. Bonus props to Victoria for being available for a drop in visit with only a 24 hour advance notice which helped us tremendously. We will continue using Victoria and already have her booked again!
Carrie was wonderful with my dogs and they LOVED her. She went beyond just letting them out and feeding my 15 year old. When she arrived she could not get the code on the garage to work and I was out of state at a funeral. She went next door and told my neighbor who went over and replaced the battery so she could get inside. Then she brought in my Amazon deliveries. It is very apparent that Carrie dearly loved animals.
