House Sitting in Rome

“Rina was so fantastic taking care of our babies while we were out of town. She was on point with pictures and keeping us updated throughout the stay. Absolutely fantastic overall!!”

“Theo was great! He came to meet us before hand and kept me updated on how things were going. My house was just as I left it and my dog was happy!”

Brianna S.

“Mark is just excellent! Our furbabies loved him right away.”

“Beth took care of are two wild pit mixes. They have some meds and special food and walking instructions which make us worry a little while we’re gone. But we ran into no issues with any of that. The dogs were well taken care of and Beth updated us frequently. One less thing to worry about during a family trip is so great.”

“Brittany was great with our boys and very easy to work with, from the initial meet and greet through the 6 nights we were gone. Our dogs are pretty big (80 and 95lbs) and they both have some quirky habits, but Brittany handled them with ease. She sent pictures and updates daily, which really settled any worries we had about having a new person at the house. We came home to very happy dogs, and we look forward to using her services again. Highly recommend!”

About: I have experience administering all kinds of medication to all ages of dogs. I love meeting your older dogs and have experience helping them navigate stairs and the home if necessary. I am patient and if your dog needs extra accommodation I am happy to provide assistance. I am currently a college student on break for the summer so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am available for early mornings, late nights, and everything in between. I understand it can be nerve racking trusting someone with your pet, but I am extremely communicative and will keep you updated as frequently as you wish. I have pet sat for multiple families who have always returned to tidy homes and happy pets. As someone who has had the privilege of loving many animals, big and small (snakes, lizards, geckos, cat, hamsters), I understand the importance of your pet.

“Taylor was very friendly and easy to work with. She sent great updates and my dogs really liked her. I would definitely book with her for in home pet sitting again!”

“Erin was such a great pup sitter! My husband and I will definitely have her sit for us again! She stayed 2 nights with our girl Kuma, kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout the day, played with her and kept her company while we were gone. Your pup will be well taken care of! Thank you again Erin!”

“Dylan was very responsible and reliable, she quickly responded and sent daily pictures of my dogs I trusted her with my home and dogs, they were all well cared for. I will definitely have Dylan return again.”

About: I've grown up always having pets in the home. We've always had at least one dog in the house, along with a handful of other types of pets (cats, rats, guinea pigs, even a chinchilla) throughout the years. This has solidified my love for animals of all kinds, and makes me eager to care for and love your pets as if they are my own, if you choose to give me the opportunity to do so :) I am a teacher trying to keep myself busy for the summer! My schedule is wide open so feel free to message me with any requests! I care for pets in their own home by maintaining their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and any medications they may need. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I also make sure to keep owners updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind! I also have reliable transportation which would allow me to be able to come to your home and care for your pet in their own environment!

About: I’m very easy going. I love to take them for walks, get them a pup cup, parks, etc.. If they have meds or a certain diet that’s not a problem. As well as if they have any other specific needs, I will make sure to meet them. You can expect regular updates and pictures if wanted. I believe every dog should get love and attention so I will make sure not to be a stranger to them! Hope they love their tummy tickled too! Let me know if you have any questions:) I work at OSF St. Francis Medical Center, I am part time from 7am-1pm. I do online schooling therefore I would only be gone during the morning/ afternoon. The rest of the day is fully for the pups! In my clients home they have either a fenced yard or a shock collar to keep them in. One of my clients has specific diets and medication for both of their dogs and prefers if they are walked daily as well! (no extra charge for walking ofc). They text me the details or they write on a piece of paper and leave notes. I have no problem following directions, it is better to be more specific though when telling them. And I do send pics and update my clients if asked or necessary!

“Sami did a great job with Duke and Daisy. She made us feel very relaxed by updating us occasionally with texts and pictures. The dogs loved her and we definitely felt comfortable having her in our home. We will definitely book again.”

Kathleen B.

“Elliana did a great job watching my pup! He got consistent care and attention, and was so great to come home home to! Would recommend!”

Matthew M.

“Oliver was awesome with the puppers, as usual. They adore him!”

Mary-Ann I.

“CLAIRE was a 100/10!! Her care of our dog was absolutely amazing! He usually is very nervous and gets upset when we are away and he was so comfortable with her the entire time we were gone. It made our vacation 1000 times more relaxing. We can’t thank her enough!”

About: I am an avid pet lover who has taken care of many animals over the years, including my own who got very ill but is thankfully in remission. Neighbors, friends and family have all relied on me to look at their loved furry friends both in my own home and as well their home depending on the desired environment for their pets comfort. I take great pride in paying attention to detail while also having the fun and attention with each level of desired of the above listed. If selected for your care, activities would include walks, run time in my fence in backyard, toy time and snacks if provided or approved with any dietary restrictions honored. I currently work from home so time spent with them will be flexible and could be worked around at your leisure. All around, pet enthusiast and looking to contribute to the pet loving market to fulfill your pets needs! I am currently working part time with another flexible job where I am able to make my own schedule so my availability can be put to excellent use to your advantage. I have a fenced in back yard with 2 friendly dogs of my own to keep your pets both welcomed and entertained. I can also crate your dog(s) if need be. Our dogs are both very well trained and will gladly welcome any company offered.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs. I have most experience with big dogs like Rottweilers, labs, and pitbulls (not that big I know). I’ve taken care of and helped train puppies and toddler dogs as well as senior dogs. Currently have a white pitbull mix who deals with allergies and skin issues who I trained myself. I’m happy to handle any and all quirks and requests you or your pet may have. I know what it’s like to feel like a burden when looking for a dog sitter because they need a specific feeding method or a weird ritual for potty time. I’m currently a student at Illinois Central College. I have free time most days over the summer. My availability will be a bit more limited in the fall. I am comfortable with all types of pets and all that comes with them. I have lots of experience picking up and cleaning up after animals as well as crate training if needed, skin care, giving medicine, grooming, clothing, or anything else you might need/want.

About: Im new to Rover but I have been housesitting and taking care of peoples pets for a long time. I had a dog for 18 years.I had a dog for 18 years so I’m very comfortable with everything from energetic pups to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I’m also active and love getting outside, so if your dog enjoys walks, hikes, or playtime, I’m a great match. I work from home, which means I’m able to be around a lot and give pets consistent attention throughout the day. Im available for longer house sits as well. I only take care of dogs in the owners home and Im happy to follow your guidelines on how to best take care of your pet.
