“Michelle loved my pets as if they were her own. She was attentive and communicative with me while weekend. She has sweet and loving person. I would highly recommend.”

“Bianca did a great job watching our 3 dogs overnight. She did a great job sending pictures, was attentive and provided updates. We will certainly use Bianca again for our dog care needs.”

“Angel was amazing! He took care of my babies for 2 complete days! Took them for more walks than I do, provided pictures throughout the day and was paying attention to their behavior which made him realize one was having an allergy reaction. Overall, I 100% recommend him and will be booking him next time.”

“Brooke is amazing! She stayed with our dog and cat while we were out of town, and took great care of them. She definitely has a way with animals- our dog warmed up to her immediately and she never does that with new people! I felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care. Her communication was top notch and she took great care of our home, too. We will be hiring her again in the future. Very highly recommend her!”

“Luke is a fantastic Rover. We had Luke sit for our 2 dogs recently, and not only was he great with our dogs, he was incredibly flexible and helpful. We actually had a family medical emergency happen while on vacation, and Luke helped out by extending his stay an extra 4 days. We highly recommend him for sitting.”


About: Ever since I was little, I have taken care of both young and senior animals, dogs and cats. I share love all the same no matter the size, age, or breed. I work full time, 9am-5pm on Monday and Tuesday, then 8am-4pm on Wednesday, friday, and Sunday. I am open to leaving work on my break, which can be taken at any time to feed, play, or let your animals outside. I will utilize the environment in which your pets are in to ensure they have the best and safest time possible, whether that's playing in the yard, walking your furry friends, or just lounging inside.

About: I've taken care of dogs since the ripe age of 7 with basic care of water/food in bowl and every 2-4hrs of potty. Whether it was friends or family. Didn't start going professional till 15 with babysitting for children and their family pups! For cats, I own a cat myself and been taking care of her for 8 years. With consistent of litter changes, basic necessities and cuddles! I am free majority of the summer before college. Tuesday's will not be free. But for majority of the week, I'm available as early as 10:00Am till late nights I have a fenced yard for your dog to run around in. I have one female lab and one male Chihuahua that are friendly and can interact with other dogs. (Also have one female cat!) My home is very much spacious, if your dog needs to be crated as well!
About: I’m a dependable animal lover who treats every pet like family. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities.

Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, enrichment, or care that fits their unique routine, I’m happy to provide support you can trust! I work full time in Healthcare. Nights and weekends are best for your pet care needs but I can be flexible too. Feel free to reach out and see if I can make it work. I am a crazy dog momma and know that fur babies are so important. I will take the best care of them! I have a fenced in back yard for your dogs safety. We have 2 friendly golden-doodles to play with your pet(s) and keep them company.

“Gabi did everything we asked her to do, and more! She did such an amazing job taking care of our dog. We knew we could trust her and relax on our trip and she did not disappoint. Would use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Jonna was amazing! She took such good care of our dog, cat, and house for the 9 days we were on vacation. We definitely felt confident that our babies were cared for and loved while we were away. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”

“Riley was amazing with our dog last week! She was incredibly attentive and communicative throughout the entire time, sending regular updates and photos. She even offered to stay with our pup during a big storm, even though it wasn’t required. That extra care and thoughtfulness meant so much to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”

About: I've had animals my entire life - cats, dogs of all sizes, caged critters, etc. I've provided care for pets of family and friends both inside my home and theirs, and feel comfortable caring for animals with special needs. I am also a licensed cosmetologist and have been grooming my own double-coated dogs for over 10 years and am happy to help with grooming your babies! At this time I am unemployed and have a pretty open schedule to love on your babies! My pups prefer to have me home overnight but otherwise I'm very flexible. My yard is not fenced so potty time is leashed outside, however I do have a fenced patio and large finished basement where my two dogs love to play. I can crate if needed, my boys typically only crate when nobody will be home. Also, I do enjoy giving a good groom- bathing, brushing, ears, nails, and trimming.

“I recently had the pleasure of having Tia as a pet sitter for my two dogs, Darrow and Ozzy, while I was away for 10 days. From the very beginning, Tia was incredibly professional and attentive. She provided daily pictures and updates, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to see just how happy and well-cared for my dogs were during my absence. Tia went above and beyond in her care, taking the time to play with Darrow and Ozzy, ensuring they were not only fed, but also entertained and loved. It's clear she has a genuine affection for animals, and it showed in the way she interacted with them. When I returned home, both dogs were in excellent spirits, and it was obvious that they had formed a bond with her. I highly recommend Tia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Tia, for taking such great care of Darrow and Ozzy!”

Rock Island pet parents share their Rover experiences
Luke was our Christmas Miracle! Our puppy tore his ACL last minute before our family trip and if Luke hadn’t been willing to house sit and take care of our puppy we would not have been able to see our family this year. He followed our vets strict med schedule and crate rest. Found ways to still give Vinny some cuddle time and manage our other dog to not rile him up. Patiently took him out on the leash to do his business while Vinny was loopy and hobbling even in the rain, dark and cold. He sent pics and updates multiple times a day because he knew I was a nervous mama leaving my sick puppy with a new human. And he left our house clean and tidy. Just could not recommend him more. Amazing!
