“Jessica and her family were so good to my Ellie. She loved her the way we would love her at home, and that’s exactly what we were hoping for. I highly recommend Jessica to all of you out there looking for someone to take amazing care of your pet while you’re away.”
“Ashley did a great job with our babies. She was understanding of the needs of my two very different types of dogs. She communicated with me during my time away and was flexible with drop-off and pick-up.”
“Teresa and Paul were fantastic with my 2 dogs for an extended weekend trip! My son was nervous about leaving them but they kept us informed with updates and pictures about how they were doing. My dogs were very comfortable with them and enjoyed their time!”
“Katie was wonderful! I would highly recommend her to anyone. Safety is very important to me and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her, knowing he would be well taken care of. And he was!!”
“Some people you just know you can trust early on when you meet them and Ramona is one of those people. She asks the questions you expect an experienced sitter to ask and has a safe and comfortable place for your pooch to stay.”
“Great Sitter! My dogs loved being with the family and she was able to introduce them comfortably to her cats. She also made sure they got exercise everyday and sent lots of pictures with updates. Was super glad we chose her and will be using Danielle again :)”
“Chelsea was absolutely amazing with our puppy Nora. She always gave her all the attention she needed and loved Nora like she was her dog. Her family was also amazing and helped Nora get much needed socialization and playtime. I would absolutely recommend Chelsea and her wonderful family to anyone in need of any services she can offer for your pet!”
“Kimberly has a very clean and welcoming home. She also has a small, friendly dog, along with cats and chickens, and it is clear she is truly an animal lover. She was very attentive to Lulu and made me feel comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care. Kimberly mentioned that Lulu was her first Rover sit, but honestly, it felt like she had been doing this for a while. She sent photos and videos, provided reassurance, and kept me updated throughout Lulu’s stay. I highly recommend Kimberly! I left in a rush because I did not account for the time zone change while heading back home, but I wanted to make sure she knew how much I appreciated her watching Lulu.”
“Jennifer was great with my little buddy ‘Valentine’. She shared photos throughout his stay and sent him home with a bag of bacon strips. (A bag he chewed through later that night to indulge himself - caught him with a strip hanging out his mouth!!🤪)”
“Cassidy was so great taking care of my pup over thanksgiving! She sent update photos and videos of him daily and her personal dogs provided great socialization and playtime for my pup! Would absolutely book with her again!”
“I had a great experience boarding my Willow here. He took really good care of him and kept me updated while I was away, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It’s always nerve-wracking leaving your dog with someone new, but this was such a positive experience. Highly recommend!”
“Communication with Christopher was excellent from the very beginning of the stay through the final pick‑up. He consistently provided plenty of pictures and updates, which gave me real peace of mind. My dog looked genuinely happy and relaxed the entire time. I highly recommend Christopher as a sitter, and I will definitely be booking with him again in the future.”
“Ben was a great dogsitter and would recommend him to anyone! He sent me pictures/videos dailyand was very prompt in responding to me. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”
“Hannah took amazing care of Bella and treated her like one of their own. I received daily updates along with pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It could tell Bella was happy and comfortable. The communication was excellent, and I highly recommend Hannah.”
“I could tell from the pictures Rachael shared with me of Buster Brown that he was very happy spending the weekend with her family. I think he even got to share a princess tent with her daughter!! I felt like Rachael and family loved my sweet boy and missed him after I picked him. It’s great to know your best friend is so well taken care of!”

“Sage was amazing. A bottle baby kitten came into my life while I was busy with work and Sage came to the rescue. Completely last minute she managed to make time for my little man. Seriously, without her this little guy would have been miserable. She took wonderful care and even went the extra mile for cleaning him up, giving him a bath and making sure his area was clean.

“Victoria is the sweetest, most kind attentive pet sitter. I got lucky when I decided to pick her to watch my rambunctious, but sweet Bengal babies. I couldn’t have found a better pet sitter to attend to them. They never usually approach strangers (they’re usually shy initially), but they loved her and played with her on the first visit. They require a lot of attention and interaction. Happy, thankful customer here!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver who treats every pet like family. I’ve owned dogs my entire life and currently have a high-energy Husky named Luca and a sweet senior Border Collie mix named Zoey. Living with dogs at different life stages has made me comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. My professional experience began at a veterinary clinic before I spent four years working as a dog bather, where I learned how to safely handle dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. As an elementary school teacher, I’ve also developed the patience, reliability, and communication skills that help both pets and their owners feel comfortable and confident. Whether your pet is staying in my home, needs a drop-in visit, or is joining me for a walk, I’ll tailor my care to fit their individual routine and personality. My dogs are friendly and well-socialized, and Luca especially loves making new friends! We enjoy neighborhood walks, and with your permission, I’m happy to take your dog to a local park for extra exercise and enrichment.

During every booking, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing exactly how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: I want you to feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pet is safe, loved, and treated like one of my own. As a teacher on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, potty breaks, or companionship, I can easily fit their routine into my day. I am committed to providing reliable care and keeping you updated while you are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before providing care. I follow all owner instructions carefully and make sure pets have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and a safe environment. I believe clear communication is important, so I will provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Hello! My name is Giovanna, and I’d love to share a little about myself. Growing up, I was never allowed to have pets (other than a goldfish). My dad would take me to the pet store, and I would beg for even a hamster, but he never budged. So naturally, whenever I visited friends or went to gatherings, I was always the one playing with and loving on the pets. I jumped at every opportunity to help care for my friends’ and family’s animals. When I finally moved out on my own, I adopted my very first pet, my cat, Winnie, within 10 days. Not long after, I decided Winnie needed a friend, so I adopted my second cat, Apache. Later, when I moved in with my now husband, I finally convinced him to get a dog, something I had wanted my entire life. After lots of research, I chose a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and that’s how we welcomed Emmett into our family. One of my favorite hobbies is training Emmett, working on obedience, tricks, and even some agility. I love the moment when something finally “clicks” for him (it’s like finally understanding a math problem!). Growing up, people would always say their pets were family, and I didn’t fully understand that until I had my own. Now, I don’t even see them as pets, they are my children. Because of that, I deeply understand the trust and responsibility that comes with caring for someone else’s animals. I will always treat your pets like my own, with love, patience, and attention. I also know how important updates are, so you can expect plenty of photos and check-ins while you’re away (I already have way too many pictures of my own pets!). I’m a military spouse with base access, and I offer in-home pet sitting, dog walking, and cat care. I’d also be happy to incorporate some light training or tricks if you’re interested! In my free time, I’m currently training for the Chicago Marathon, so if your dog loves to run or needs extra exercise, I can definitely keep up! I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for dog walking, drop-ins, and in-home pet sitting on both weekdays and weekends and last minute requests. I’m also happy to accommodate early mornings, evenings, or more active dogs who need extra exercise. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to be proactive, attentive, and cautious in every situation. I stay highly aware of my surroundings, follow routines closely, and take extra care to prevent any risks. Clear communication is just as important to me. I provide regular updates, photos, and quick responses so you always feel informed and at ease while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times.

I know trusting someone with your animals can be an uneasy feeling but I will update and send photos if you like! Caring for animals is something I really enjoy and I spoil them like I do my own. I feel I could be a good fit for you and your pet needs. I currently work Monday thru Friday, 7am until 4pm. I can offer drop ins, walks and House/animal sitting in the evenings and Weekends. If you are close to work I can do lunch drop ins I currently do not keep dogs in my home. I have a senior dog that is old a grumpy, He does not care in the slightest to meet new dogs..lol
“Sage walks my two dogs Daisy and Freyja. She has been great and a huge help. She messages me everyday after their walk to let me know how my girls were and sends lots of photos! She has been a huge help with my work schedule. Very reliable highly recommend!”
About: Im patient, attentive and love your pet as tho they were my own. I’ve had pets most of my life and currently own 4 small dogs which are part of my family. Im a student which allows me to have free time outside of my studies. I have a flexible schedule and I’m available most of the time. I have a fenced yard with four dogs of my own. If your pet was to stay with me they are free to roam most of my home excluding bedroom. I work with whatever schedule the owner may like, or they can just flow into my own pets schedules.
About: I’ve taken care of many pets of family and friends over the years. I LOVE playing with high energy dogs and also don’t mind to cuddle with the sweet and quiet. I am great company for all dogs with any personality. I am nearly obsessed with taking pictures of dogs (my camera roll is flooded with them). I can take awesome pictures of your pet and send them to you while we are on our adventure! I live on Fort Rucker and I work from home, so I would prefer to watch your pet at my house if possible! I am very active so they will get good walks/attention before business hours and during lunch. 🙂 I live on Fort Rucker and prefer to bring your pet to my house where possible for multi-night visits. I have no other pets at the moment!
About: I’m excited to apply what I’ve learned about my pets to others. Every pet has their own personality I want to get to know them. Pet car fits perfectly into my schedule as I complete college online and am home majority of the day they always have my undivided attention. I have a semi fenced yard but so much for them to run in the back. I have a fur baby of my own who loves to play, he’s gentle and sweet. He treats other dogs with respect and knows to set a boundary if they want to play or not.
About: I've had dogs my whole life. So bathing and grooming I think I know worries. I have a chunkster of my own, sweet as can be. We can keep dogs separate if needed. Want to make all dogs and cats feel welcome and have a home to come to. I'm a stay-at-home dog mom. Rover is my part time job. I just want to love on dogs and kitties all day. All ages, sizes, and shapes are welcomed! We have a chubby fur-baby. She's spade and very sweet! Loves cats and likes most dogs. But we have a two story house so keeping puppies sperate is no worries. Very large yard for the dogs to play and daily walks are typical.

“Kimberly has a very clean and welcoming home. She also has a small, friendly dog, along with cats and chickens, and it is clear she is truly an animal lover. She was very attentive to Lulu and made me feel comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care. Kimberly mentioned that Lulu was her first Rover sit, but honestly, it felt like she had been doing this for a while. She sent photos and videos, provided reassurance, and kept me updated throughout Lulu’s stay. I highly recommend Kimberly! I left in a rush because I did not account for the time zone change while heading back home, but I wanted to make sure she knew how much I appreciated her watching Lulu.”
