About: Ive taken care of family members dogs before. I’ve also had experience with puppies and adult dogs! I have 1 dog of my own and it would be fun to be able to take care of other dogs as well :) I work part time and most of my afternoons I’m free! I always love going on walks in the afternoons anyways so having someone to walk with would be awesome! I have a fenced yard and a crate inside if needed. I do have kids but they’re all very gentle with our animals here at home.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Guadalupe was reliable, caring, and treated our pups with love!!! We got regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were out of town camping. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved all the attention. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter! We will definitely be using Guadalupe again!! We've already recommended her to neighbors!!!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 7 years old. I grew up on an acreage and we always had cats and dogs. I can administer shots and medication and have experience bottle feeding kittens and bunnies. I love animals and understand that each one is different and deserves love. I am patient and careful with each pet, giving them the attention they need and feel most comfortable with. I have a soft spot for senior animals. I am a teacher, so I am available all summer for your pet sitting needs! During the school year, I am only available on the weekends or after school check-ins. I will follow all directions and rules for taking care of your pet(s). Each one is special and I understand they all have their own needs. I am great at going with the flow with your pet and letting them lead the activity.
“Jamie and her husband Ryan are amazing dog parents! They were very sweet and caring with our boy. He even got a homemade scarf to take home! We can't wait to bring our pup back for another stay ?”
“Stella is an instant friend with a very caring heart. Took care of my cat like he was her own family member. Stella went above and beyond by playing with him, letting him in the back yard, setting up fun snacks for him, and even bringing a delivery in the house. I highly recommend Stella to give pets the care they need!”
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs almost my whole life! My personal pet care background is incredibly diverse. I currently manage a lively three-cat household with my sweet cuddle bug Lillie, and my sister’s rambunctious and silly littermate brothers, Scout and Sawyer. I am also the proud owner of a childhood calico named Luna, and a Shepherd/golden mix, Osa. Because Osa is a high-energy, reactive dog, I learned a lot from her and personally worked on training her. Additionally, I have experience with senior pets. I lovingly cared for my late childhood dog, Sisi, which included managing her daily medications. I have also administered short-term medications to cats. I specialize exclusively in house sitting at your home, drop-in visits, and neighborhood dog walks. I look forward to giving your pets the absolute best care! :) My schedule is very flexible this summer, which makes it easy to stick to whatever daily routine your pets are used to. Whether they need a mid-day drop-in visit, a walk, or someone to stay overnight to keep them company, I can easily accommodate their regular timing. Since I will be caring for your pets in your home, my main priority is keeping their environment safe and consistent. I am highly attentive to details like securing doors and gates, keeping dogs properly leashed during walks, and following your specific household instructions. I always send regular photo updates and check-ins so you have full peace of mind while you are away.
About: Hello! I would make a great addition to you and your pet(s) experience while you are away! I have been responsible overnight pet sitter for 3 previous family friends, worked at a doggy daycare for 1.5 years, provided drop in visits since I was 15 for dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, rodents and fish, and have owned my own pet ever since I could remember! I feel that I have a natural ability to create a safe bond with all animals and exhibit calm and caring demeanor when around all animals. Although I am very energetic and would love to take your dog on walks, I understand that cannot happen due to health and age restrictions. A little bit about me personally, I am a substitute teacher for kids with special needs going back to school online at Loyola University for my Masters in special education. I enjoy being outside when the weather is nice, reading, cooking, and going to the lake or dog park with my own pet! Thank you for reading my profile and I would love to be your next pet caregiver🐶🐱🐢🐸🐭🐠💕 I work full time and spend my early mornings and afternoons spending time with my pet by taking him on walks, going to the dog park or forest preserve, and having leisure time outside. I have the weekends off and do not tend to work for more than 8 hours a day. I care for pets in others homes by providing surveillance at all times and making it my number one concern. I love to play with their favorite toys, give a lot of attention or provide space depending on the dogs mood. I am cleanly, respectful of property, and flexible with all situations and requests
“Sam was very respectful, followed my instructions, and most importantly gave the care and attention to my cat that I was looking for. She met us beforehand as well and always sent a detailed note and photos after her visits. Thank you very much Sam!”
“Debbie was great! She went above and beyond in caring for our cats. She did everything we asked and more. I really appreciate that she cleaned the used bowls even though this was not expected. When we met before the visits, she asked great questions to really understand what we and our pets needed. I will definitely schedule Debbie again in the future.”
About: As a middle schooler, I worked on a farm property as a pet groomer. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and a specialization with dogs that are disabled and have behavioral issues. I enjoy being active, going on walks, and making sure your fur baby gets the love they deserve! I am currently working part time at an eye-care office! I have a lot of free time, and would love to spend it with your fur baby! I am flexible and happy to accommodate to whatever you and your pet’s needs may be. I am respectful of the spaces I am in, and I understand that life can get busy sometimes. I never judge a messy home, and promise that it won’t be an issue. I am just happy to help!
About: Hi, I'm Macy! My family and I just recently moved to the Fox Lake area, and it sure is beautiful. I am a dog lover and dog mom of a handsome young beagle named Tom and a high energy Cattle Dog mix named Titan. I'm excited to be a part of a fun adventure in your pups life! I am always thinking about my pup when I'm away, as I'm sure you are when you're at work as well. I'd love to put your mind at ease that they are being cared for when you are away.

About: I have been a Petco certified dog trainer since I was 18 and have dog/house sat many times since! I treat your dog like family and your home with respect! I am flexible! I am available Mondays and Thursdays all day. Saturdays I get off work at 2:00pm I work 9-5 during the rest of the days of the week.

Plenty of playtime and mental stimulation. I love using puzzle toys, snuffles and other things to get a dogs mind working!
“Marisa was great. It's our first time using Rover and she was wonderful. She came to meet our dogs in advance and answer any questions. She was on time when the actual day came and took good care of the dogs w feeding and pottying. We feel better knowing we have her services in the future.”
About: I have had at least one dog in my household since elementary school. Good with all breeds & sizes! Love to go on walks and exceptionally good at cuddles! Would prefer one animal at a time unless the dogs are small. I work Monday - Friday 8:30 to 5:00. Recently separated and no longer am able to see my dog, who is my absolute pride and joy. I have so much love to give and would take amazing care of your furry loved ones! Will provide walks and all the cuddles!! Dogs and cats allowed on furniture if that is ok with you! Smoke free/child free home. Will send photo/video updates if you’d like!
About: I have experience caring for dogs through helping friends and neighbors with dog sitting and dog walking whenever they need me. I also have a 9 year old dog of my own, so I understand the daily responsibilities of caring for a pet. I love being around dogs and giving them lots of attention! I am currently home for the summer from college and will be working part time as a waitress, so I will have plenty of time for dog walking! I will take every safety measure there is when it comes to doggies such as making sure the doors are closed, the fence is closed, keeping them on the leash, and helping them feel comfortable.
“Mallory was wonderful, we booked her to drop in on our 2 cats for 2 weeks. Every day she fed and watered them, emptied the litterbox, gave them some love and treats! It saved us so much stress knowing she was watching them!”

Round Lake dog parents share their Rover experiences
Brittany is beyond amazing. She is one of the few people that we know we can still go on trips with the comfort of her visits. Knowing Brittany is taking expert care of our sweet, but high maintenance dog. She goes above and beyond in all she does and we are very grateful.
Hope was absolutely wonderful as our drop-in sitter! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared so much about our dog. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pup was in such good hands while we were away. She sent great updates and photos, which we really appreciated, and it was obvious our dog felt comfortable and happy with her. Hope went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of, and we came home to a relaxed and well-cared-for dog. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!
Valerie was absolutely amazing with our dog during a very chaotic time for our family. We were in the middle of moving, and with all the stress and changes in the house, our dog had a couple of unexpected issues come up. Valerie handled everything calmly, confidently, and with so much care. She kept us updated, reassured us, and truly went above and beyond. We honestly could not have asked for a better sitter. We are so grateful for her!!
Anays and Francis helped out with my dog while I was out of town for 6 days with 2 walks a day. He was staying with a family member that doesn’t walk much so their help was wonderful. I am beyond impressed with Anays’ thorough reports via the app with pictures and notes on how the walk went and how far they walked. It gave me the peace of mind I needed while I was away!
Haley has been incredible, this is my first experience with Rover and I had a lot of questions. Thankfully, Haley was more than equipped to answer anything and everything I asked. I have a younger dog that does bark at new people, Haley took it all in stride, moving slow, allowing for sniffs and other close investigations. Within minutes they were best friends. There is still a little barking when Haley first arrives, but my dog quickly settles down and races outside for playtime. Haley asks me what my preferences are for the dogs and always follows up to ensure that my needs are understood. I LOVE the report cards and photos after each session. Seeing my dogs happy smiling faces after she visits with them makes me feel so at ease. Very, very happy to have found her!
