Brandi watched our pups while we were at work during the day for a week and she was amazing! One of our pups had ACL surgery so we needed someone well trained and experienced to watch over her during her recovery process. Brandi kept us posted on how she was doing every day (which was so great for our peace of mind). We got pictures regularly too! She took such good care of her and we are so thankful we had such a wonderful care taker for our pup after her surgery!

Michelle was the best house and dog sitter we could have ever asked for. She was incredibly attentive and thorough in every aspect including before her stay with our dogs, during and after! She visited us ahead of time to get to know the boys and make sure we had all the details covered. She kept in contact us while we were away and sent photos and kept very extensive notes that were very helpful to read when we returned from our vacation. She is incredibly knowledgeable about training and different personalities in dogs and I would recommend her to anyone!!!!!! I could tell our boys loved having her and were looking for her for a day or two after she was gone. She’s a great lady and I would recommend her with 10 stars!!!!! She even kept up with the shedding and the house was immaculate! A great lady!!!

I have used Kelli a few times now to watch my pups and house sit. She's always wonderful, but this last time it was a much longer stay than usual and we were out of the country so I was admittedly nervous. Kelli was wonderful. She communicated often, sent tons of photos and was quickly responsive. We came home after a long 8-day vacation to happy pups and a very clean home. I strongly recommend Kelli and already have another booking lined up with her in the near future. Thanks Kelli!

Emily has cared for my dogs on numerous occasions and done a fantastic job. One of my dogs has some emotional/aggression issues and Emily handled it with ease. She stuck to their feeding schedule and did a great job walking them. She made sure to check in frequently and send pictures to put my mind at ease so I could enjoy my vacations. I would have Emily dog/house sit anytime! :)

Theresa did a great job with Ramoncito. This was Ramoncito’s first time with a sitter and he needed some time to adjust. Theresa was patient with him and helped him be comfortable with her. We are extremely grateful for Theresa and we will definitely use her services again in the future.

Dakota is as natural of a "dog-person" as there is. She has helped care for dogs for her entire life, ranging from pitbulls to shelties, and she does a great job at taking care of their needs as well as their owners wishes.

This is our second time booking Alexis and she was wonderful. It was a very long booking, she was very flexible and attentive to the need so our cats all week long. We valued her communication and attention, she notified us whenever anything was off with our cats- we appreciated her patience and good attitude! Even when difficulties arose, she met them with grace and updated us well. She left the home clean and we felt comfortable trusting her in our home the whole time, she’s very respectful. She kept us at ease and anxiety-free with sweet pictures of our cats often. She’s a wonderful sitter and we’re looking forward to having her again if she’s willing to put up with our rowdy boys.

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since i started volunteering at the animal hospital in freeport il. I started doing that when i was ten years old. I have attended just under two years of schooling towards being a zoologist, and that is the goal i have. I started fostering with my grandma when i was 14, and i successfully adopted out 12 pit bulls that would have been put to sleep :) I have pet sit since i was old enough to babysit kids, my grandparents on my dads side were missionaries and would always have me take care of their three cats lucy linus and peanut. I look forward to snuggling your pooch!

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs! I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own. 2 of my dogs are rescues and 1 since she was a puppy- now a senior being 9 years old. One of the rescues has a disability of not being able to walk and the other has fear anxiety with humans. Each needing their own training and patience from us to help them succeed in this world! I am in charge of medication management at home! I work from home 2 days a week with Friday being a half day. I am a full time mental health therapist and working with behaviors from humans to animals is something I am passionate about! I have a fenced in yard and a camera in the front. I like to go out with the dogs at first to make sure they get out safely- free of turkeys, coyotes, etc. For walks, I ensure the leash is properly on and the leash is tightly in my hand. I will absolutely abide by owners procedures and what they feel comfortable with!

We absolutely loved having Maggie dog sit Tilly and Hazel! She was on time and very thorough and kept us updated! We got tons of pictures and that made us so at ease being away from our dogs! She even assisted with meds and some other things! 100% would have Maggie back and would ask her again!

Estefanny took care of our two dogs (one a senior requiring medications, the other a 10 month old puppy) and our bearded dragon this past weekend. She was able to stay at our place and be with them the for the period of time we needed. This was our first time using Rover so we were a bit nervous about it all. But Estefanny alleviated all those nerves! We are so thankful for her! Estefanny took care of our babies with thorough love and attention. She snuggled them, engaged with them, everything you’d want for your animal babies and more! We also received continuous updates via messages, pictures, and videos. This being our first time with a Rover sitter, those updates meant the world to us! We strongly recommend Estefanny as your potential pet sitter! She went above and beyond. She was a true professional and we were so lucky to have the chance to work with her. We already have her scheduled for an upcoming trip. If you need a pet sitter, Estefanny is your person!
