“Diana is the absolute best! I feel so safe and secure leaving my babies with Diana while at work knowing they'll be loved and cared for by her just like I would. My babies and I are so lucky and thankful to have her in our lives!”
About: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! I do work 730-330 M-F but my partner (Jeremy) is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.
“Autumn was truly the best!! I can’t thank her enough. It’s never easy leaving your fur babies at home while your away but Autumn put my mind at ease. She was very reliable, quick to respond, and treated my pets like they were her own. We would be happy to have her again💛🐾🐶🐱”
“Natalie was great! Kept great communication before and during her visits. Really grateful she was able to check on the cats and the house for us!! Would definitely recommend. Thanks again!”
About: I had pets my whole life growing up (cats and dogs at the same time), currently haven’t a cat, and watch my families pets when they are out of town. I am reliable and can handle any situation that comes up. I work full time but I am able to work from home half the week so this allows me to be flexible with my pet sitting. I have a huge fenced in back yard, I treat every animal like my own as well. Additionally, I always respect other people’s homes.
“This is the second time Evie has watched Meatball and we would definitely book again. He seemed to still trust her after the two years between bookings and was happy and cozy when I got home. Thanks Evie!”
About: Pet Care Experience: I have hands on experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality. I’m confident with feeding routines, medication reminders, and creating a calm, safe environment. What Sets Me Apart: I treat every pet like my own, offering personalized care, consistent communication, and lots of affection. My ability to handle different temperaments, provide loving, general care, and support older pets with mobility or comfort needs helps me stand out as a reliable, thoughtful sitter. I am a college student on summer break so my schedule is as available as it can be! I am super flexible and want to help out if I can! I am very friendly with dogs and have a way with being trusted easily. I have never been mean or harmful, always friendly and encouraging.
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs since I was a child. Each dog is the best dog and deserves the entire world. I will treat yours as if they are my own. They are precious and incredible creatures that we should cherish. I’ve fostered and cared for dogs from puppies to elderly dogs with significant health issues and loved them all. I work part time so I am flexible and happy to spend time with your creature friends whenever is convenient. Just let me know what times are best and we will work it out. I am happy to follow all house rules and care for your dog in whatever way you would like me to. Walks and playtime are always a joy.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life since majority of my family members have them. I used to have the responsibility of feeding and providing potty breaks for my grandparents dog. Now I have a cat of my own. I’m currently working full time, so I typically only have Thursday-Saturday to look after your pets. More than happy to try and make any time work for those days! As a longtime pet owner and animal lover, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. Having cared for my own cat and looked after animals for many years, I know how to create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment while respecting each pet’s unique needs and routine.
“Mary Beth unfortunately wasn’t available so she recommended her daughter. We met both of them and really liked them. Her daughter did an excellent job. Our Josie was happy and cared for the couple days we were gone. We will definitely keep both Mary Beth and her daughter in mind for all of our travel/vacation pet care needs in the future.”

About: Hi! My name is Staci, and I’ve been caring for animals for years as a dedicated pet owner. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I have experience with daily pet care responsibilities including feeding, walking, exercise, playtime, administering basic medications when needed, and providing lots of attention and affection. As a previous pet owner myself, I know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m committed to following your instructions carefully to help them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll provide dependable care, regular updates, and plenty of love.

I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, exercise, and household rules to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Pets will have access to fresh water, regular potty breaks, playtime, and a comfortable place to rest. I understand that every pet is different, so I adapt my care to their energy level, personality, and routine.

We’re sorry free anytime we book Teagan to come take care of Teemu, sent her profile to our friends we were with who were jealous we had someone to take care of our dog. Teagan goes out of her way to make sure our dog is taken care of. Trustworthy, reliable, communicative, and definitely cares about our animals when we’re away.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Temperance stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Temperance choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Temperance with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
