“Madi is an exceptional person. She stayed and watched our dog Chance for a week while we went out of town. She sent picture updates and cared for him like he was her own dog. When we arrived home she even left us gifts! I would definitely recommend Madi and we plan to use her in the future.”

“Karen watched our 8 month old golden retriever for a week and he had the best time! Karen was great with communication and pictures. We would recommend Karen for dog boarding!”

“Claire is AMAZING. My pup is usually very anxious in new places and with new people but she is so welcoming and loving to my dog! He was super excited to return to her house this past weekend and get to hang out with her two dogs again. She was amazing in texting updates as well as giving Boone his own report card at the end of the stay. Claire is the best!!”

“This was our first experience with rover and it was a wonderful experience. Amanda had excellent communication, was super friendly and had a beautiful home for Bob to hang out at for a couple of days. She shared frequent updates on how he was doing. Highly recommend!”

“Sarah took such great care of Surely! She kept us updated throughout Surely’s stay and sent lots of pictures. We will definitely book with Sarah again!”

“Kari is so wonderful with the animals she cares for. I could tell by the way my dog Ruger acted as soon as he entered her home. Usually when I pick him up, he let's me know that he's not pleased I was gone, but after a stay with Kari he is totally calm and happy. Thanks for taking such great care of my boy!”

About: Hi!! I’m Jessie 🐾 I’ve taken care of dogs pretty much my whole life! But I really got into it while I got my Bacehlors of Science degree in Zoology at SIUC. I then worked at a dog boarding facility where we boarded dogs during the day and overnight, did baths, and doggie daycare. I of course always owned my own dogs and cats. I then worked at a Pet Hospital where I assisted in surgeries, drawing blood on cats and dogs, giving vaccines, giving medications via injections or orally. A lot of times at the dog boarding facilities we would train puppies during the day, and of course I’ve had many puppies of my own. I’m currently working full time. I do work remote (at home) Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday so I could take a fur baby out in the morning 6am-7am, 12:30-1pm, and 3:30pm-4:30pm. Weekends are open!! I can do late nights Tuesdays and Thursday as well. Message me and we could always discuss more in detail, I’m flexible!! I will care for every animal like it’s my own! So many kisses, hugs and snuggles!! I’ll treat your house with respect. With my animal handling experience and vet assistant knowledge your pets will always be safe with me!

“Nipsey seemed to enjoy his stay. He is a hyper dog but was worn out from all of his play when he got home. Loved the pictures were sent throughout the day.”

“I've had Laura pet-sit for my senior cat Cecil many times, and she always follows through! He is happy to see her and to receive more food while I'm away (she sends me photos of him). She has pets herself who are well cared for. I would definitely recommend having her pet-sit!”

“It was so nice to find someone who lives close to us. Tara was so easy to work with. She loved our Ava and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout her stay. She even groomed Ava while she was there which helped us out greatly.”

“Kassidy is a reliable and responsible person in general and absolutely adores all animals. She is so kind and patient and gentle and loving to all. Kassidy loves to play with animals and go on walks with them any chance she gets.”

“Our boy, Cooper, had the best time with Jenny!! This was our first time using Rover and we could not have had a better experience! Jenny was so attentive and caring to Cooper, treating him as if he were her own ❤️ Today, after our trip, he is lazing around and (we think) missing all the fun and play he had with Jenny!!”

“Krishna is a very compassionate and trustworthy person who I would always trust my beloved pets with. His care for pets is amazing and unmatched!”

“Mariah went above and beyond taking care of our two extremely high energy dogs. She sent us daily photos and videos for all 5 days of boarding. It gave us peace of mind knowing that they were being taken care of. Highly recommended Mariah for dog sitting, walking or boarding!”

“Dani is one of the most responsible and thoughtful people I have ever met. She is always ready to do whatever it takes to make sure everyone, including pets, are alright and well cared for. She gave my dog Tucker the best belly rubs and the yummiest snacks!”

About: I’ve had pets since I was a child and been the one to care and mantain them. I’ve trained 2 puppies who were potty trained and knew commands. I’ve administered flea medicine. I am currently doing GrubHub and I would create my schedule around my rover schedule so I could be home as much as possible. I would prefer when not boarding at my home, to be doing Rover related activities during the day and GrubHub at night. While doing GrubHub I would be able to make stops to take pets on walks or to potty or to just say hi! I have an extremely large backyard and I also go on daily runs and house members who love animals with lots of love to give! I’m currently just doing Grub Hub and I make my own schedule and could base it around my Rover Schedule no problem, although I do require working Grub Hub from 5-11 Friday’s and Saturday’s but would still be able to drop ins! I have a huge unfenced in yard so a tether would be required but would have lots of room to run! Daily runs and lots of love!!

“Mckenzie was very good with our pup. She made Molly feel right at home and treated her like she was her own. Molly loved being there and and trusted her! I highly recommend Mckenzie!”

About: I have owned dogs my whole life. I grew up in a one dog house and currently have two small senior dogs. Bentley is 11 and Wrigley is 8. They are both Chihuahua mixes. I have taken family dogs for the weekend in my home many times and have checked in on dogs of family and friends on many occasions. I am a teacher so I am gone all day during the week. I am available for boarding and check ins on the weekends if needed. I have a fenced in yard and two small dogs to keep your pup company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have one small and one medium sized crates.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was little. From fish and lizards to cats and dogs. I’ve watched friends pets, family pets, and even strangers pets before. They had me feeding, bathing (if needed), walking, and most importantly cuddling their pets. I work in as a veterinary assistant, so I make sure every pet is taken care. I have two dogs and two cats of my own that I take care of. We all have a routine and I would add in an additional pet if needed. We can do walks after work or on my lunch break. I also am able to bring pets to work with me if needed. I make sure that my house is pet proof (all outside doors are shut, no toxic things are accessible, ect.). I leash walk everywhere I go to ensure safety.

“Diana was amazing!! She took such good care of my lab Luna. She texted photos with updates so I knew Luna was fitting in well. Great communication and very flexible with our schedule. We will definitely be booking again next time we are in town!”
