“This was our 1st time using Rover and we couldn’t have been happier with Heather’s care of our dog. We were away on vacation for a week and she sent us daily (sometimes twice a day!) pictures and updates. Our dog is an only dog in our house and he he quickly became besties with her dog Zephyr who is a very gentle and even tempered dog. We highly recommend Heather and Wes for boarding and we look forward to having our dog go back when we need boarding!”


“Jill was awesome!! She sent updates daily with pictures. Gunner came home tired and happy. I will definitely book with her again, and would highly recommend her for you pup! She does a great job making them feel at home.”



“Genna and Terry were wonderful with our two dogs Sophie and Myles. They played with them endlessly and got em tired out several times. They kept me posted with pictures and let me know how they were doing so I didn't have to worry about them. As sad as I am to say this my Sophie would rather be with Genna and Terry so as a dog parent I have to step up my game. I would strongly recommend Genna and Terry to anyone who needs a pet sitter and I will be recommending them to all my family and friends in the area s well as making them my regular per sitter.”

“Corinna was awesome! Everything went perfectly from the initial conversation to plan Max’s drop-off all the way until pickup. Corinna was attentive to all of Max’s special needs, she was very accommodating & had a wonderful set-up for Max to feel comfortable. She also had excellent communication skills, providing many photos & updates throughout his stay. I highly recommend Corinna. A++”


“Cathleen was a great sitter and her dog was a great companion for my Aussie! She really treated my dog like her own and sent plenty of photos of everything they did! We will be calling her again!”


“Luna had a great time at Terry’s with his other pups. It was nice to know she was in good hands and good company while we were out town. I will gladly have Terry watch her again next time we need someone!”

Kathleen sent Poppy home clean after giving him a bath. None of this was requested. This shows the love she pours into the animals she cares for. A++.”


About: On top of being a veterinary assistant for over three years, I have also taken care of pets of my own and family and friends' since I was very young. I began working at the humane society at 14 and haven't stopped working with animals since! I have a B.S in Animal Ecology, and am currently working towards becoming a Registered Veterinary Technician. I currently work full-time at a veterinary hospital with weekends free. I never work past 6:30pm and never go in before 7am. Once a week I am off at 2pm, and another day I do not go in until 12pm. This provides me a flexible schedule to take care of your furry kiddos! I have a large yard that will be fully fenced in by the end of the summer, and a very friendly dog myself who loves to make new friends. I also have very tolerant cats that adapt to new friends as well! I have a spare room and crate available if needed. I have my own nail trimming supplies and transportation for myself and even for your fur baby if needed!

“Taylor was absolutely incredible with my little kittie boy Blue! I was scared to board him as he's only 6 months old but Taylor took great care and showed deep compassion for him. He came home excited and almost refreshed. I highly recommend Taylor if you're looking to board your cat or any other animal. Her passion and love for animals is very evident. Taylor will be the first one I call next time! Thank you so much Taylor! 5 Stars aren't enough!”


“I love how Sherry sent pictures and videos of our dog while he was staying with her. It definitely seemed like he had a great time! I felt very comfortable with leaving him in her hands. 100% recommend!”


“Erica was great! My dog had a great time with her and her dog, Cora, while we were gone for the weekend. Erica was quick to respond to our questions and sent plenty of daily updates and pictures so we knew our pup was doing well while we were gone. I'd definitely recommend Erica to anyone!”

“Emily and her family did an outstanding job of caring for Rizzo. He was having such a fun time, he didn’t want to leave. We’ll definitely be using Emily to care for Rizzo in the future .”

Rock Island Arsenal dog parents share their Rover experiences
Izzy absolutely 💯 loved being at Katelyn's and Chris' home playing with their 2 dogs and fitting right in and watching over the baby or rather for food droppings lol! I would absolutely have them dogs sit again with no worries. I don't even think Izzy felt separation anxiety away from me, she was too busy having fun!! Thank you Katelyn and Chris for taking good care of my girl! 😊
