“Shawn is a very reliable and wonderful sitter. He spent quality time with our very needy, geriatric cat. We feel so much better that he stops in. We definitely would recommend him,”


“Jack did a great job with my 2 dogs. I was concerned because my Great Dane was a bit on edge from all the fireworks on the 4th, but Jack put my mind at ease with pics of them playing in the yard. Will definately book again.”

“Shannon took wonderful care of our cat while we were out of town and was sending us daily updates and pictures of our cat. We definitely recommend Shannon for pet sitting:)”

About: (I go by Dakota, so some testimonies might call me that) I started off pet sitting for neighbors when I was about 14. I would feed, let out, and walk the dogs, and feed and clean cat litter boxes as needed. I moved up to dog sitting for family friends, old coworkers, and coworkers’ clients about three years ago, where I would do the same, and even bathe dogs if needed. I have experience pet sitting rodents and reptiles as well! I am currently not working a job, so I have all the time to give your babies the love and attention they need and deserve! I have experience with body language in dogs, so I can always tell when your baby is happy, upset, or uncomfortable. If you don’t have a fenced in yard, no problem! I can take your fur baby on a secure leash outside!
About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to independent cats. I am comfortable caring for senior pets, ensuring they get the proper attention and care they need- as long as instructions can be provided to maintain routines and medical needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing gentle care, companionship, and a safe environment. Wether it’s keeping up with a puppy, a shy cat, or providing extra comfort for an aging pet, I would be honored to be trusted with your furry family members. I currently am a full time Software Engineering student at Loyola University! Currently, most of my coursework is online other than Tuesdays and Thursdays. This limits my availability on those days for additional pet care. My flexible online schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week, ensuring they receive attention and care they deserve. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, playtimes, and check-ins, making pet care a natural and enjoyable part of my routine. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment for all animals in my care. My home has a large yard with fencing where I can comfortably walk one’s pet outdoors while remaining safe. I have two cats and one dog in the home, so I do carefully manage introductions and limit interactions if needed to ensure all pets are comfortable. For dogs, I can crate or pen if needed, providing them with personal space, or allow them to roam safely on a leash outside while ensuring they are well cared for inside. For cats, I prioritize an stress-free environment, providing personal space and ensuring quiet areas to retreat to. I understand feline body languages and can understand shy, playful, or independent cats to ensure their comfort.
“This was the first time using Rover and I was a little nervous having a stranger come in my home and care for my dog. Caroline was awesome, and went above and beyond during her drop in visits as I was out of town for a few days. She was very accommodating for my dogs needs. She also sent me pictures and updates! I would definitely recommend her!!”

“Took great care of my cat while i was on vacation with my family, attentive and reliable, sent me photos and updates during the time i was away. Would certainly recommend to anyone, I will be confident in having Miranda care for my fur baby again in the future.”

About: I started dog sitting my freshmen year of high school and quickly grew my business as people heard about my service. I am dedicated to making both you and your pet feel comfortable while separated. I am currently a full-time college student, so my hours are strict. I am free most weekends and will be available for drop-ins during the weekdays and can spend the night if needed. I will stick to the routine your pet knows best and ensure they are given plenty of love and attention while you are away. I strive to go above and beyond so that you come home to a happy pet!
About: I have watched the pets of friends, family, and peers of mine and have had an amazing time doing it! I also had a family dog and I have a cat of my own! I have watched / walked pets of many ages, weights and temperaments and I have been happy with all of them! I am respectful towards boundaries of pets, and have experience grooming my own pets who are reactive at the grooming salon and are better at home. I also have lots of walking dog experience as well. I am working part-time on the weekends, I am able to stay overnight during weekends. I cannot bring any other pet home because of my own cat but I am able to travel and stay at other houses on the weekends. I am able to do one day pet sitting and short and long dog walks as well. I am able to also take dogs or cats on car rides if needed as well! I have cared for my family dog along side my family for her whole 13 year life, she was a yellow lab. I now have a maine coon who is 19 lbs and has double hip dysplasia and a bad knee who is 5 years old. I have groomed both of those pets, walked both of those pets on leashes and taken daily care and made sure any problems they have had, had been helped and treated with care. I safely take directions from owners whose pets I have watched and followed them fully and have reached out an asked questions and made them aware of everything that had happened when they were gone. I take pet care very seriously and I always bring up anything I notice is wrong and always make sure the pets safety and happiness is priority!
“Heidi was great with our cat Sarge while we were away! I was confident he was in good hands. She helped administer his medications too and he was very happy all around when we got home. We will definitely rebook with her next time we go on a trip!”

“Hollie was extremely attentive and sweet! Our boys loved her and we were happy with how easy she made our weekend out of town. We definitely will be using her again in the future!”

“Dan was fabulous with our cats while we were out of the country for over a week. The photos and updates put us at ease. We’ll definitely be contacting Dan next time we need cat care!”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and birds since I was 12 years old. Neighbors, friends and family relied on me to walk and feed their pets. I also worked for a veterinarian for about 2 years and I am currently going to school to become a veterinary technician. I have a 1 1/2-year-old dog that I am currently training her to be a therapy dog. I am available 7 days a week while working full-time Monday thru Friday. I’ll be able to pet sit in your home. Check out my calendar to see what days I’m not currently booked. In my clients' homes, I give the animals all of my attention and follow any special directions the client leaves for me. I am a firm believer in leaving things better than how I found them, so I am always sure to clean up, lock up, use common sense, and follow proper & appropriate protocol and instruction.

“Brittany is an excellent pet care giver! She is so good with our cat, she has a real understanding of pets and a kind touch. She also takes note of things around the house that might need attention, which I appreciate very much. This is the second time she has taken care of our cat and I couldn't be happier.”

Racine dog parents share their Rover experiences
Pete was Awesome!!! Fist off, my dogs are rescues. They have idiosyncrasies (lol). Taffy puts up defences when meeting new people. So much so, that two prior interviewees turned down the offer. Peter, who is a gentle giant, won her over during the interview. Not with his giantness, but his amazing gentleness. Usually it takes some time for Taffy to trust someone, but she found something in Peter to trust right away! The rest of the week went incredibly smoothly. I got texts every evening (he offered photos but i declined). Both Tanka and Taffy assumed "Belly Rub" positions once Peter arrived. I heard such great reports that when I got home, I had to tearfully sit down with them and ask if they would rather go and live with Peter. Just kidding, I couldn't ask that question for fear of the answer!! When I came home, my doges were normal. Not filled with fear, anxiety, depression or anything that separation might cause. That means Peter did not just feed, water, and let them outside. He gave them loving care in my absence. He treated them as I would treat them. That is the sign of an excellent caretaker!! He will always take care of my dogs, dean
