Susan’s husband Mark is also very good and a dog lover . My dog had a lot of fun with her dogs . I highly recommend her . She took really good care of my dog for the week he stayed .”
“We have used Myle several times now to watch our dog Frankie and are very pleased. Frankie fits right in with her home environment and gets along well with her dogs. She spends a lot of time playing tug and fetch with him and takes him out for many walks. Frankie is well cared for and Myle posts lots of pictures of him to keep our mind at ease. We highly recommend Myle!!!”
“Amanda’s communication was excellent and we discussed my dog’s feeding schedule and needs and she made sure to accommodate. I also received several cute photos during his stay. I could tell he was happy when I went to pick him up. Definitely recommend!”

“Our baby boy Ronnie really enjoyed his stay with Tiffany and her family. They made him part of the family while he was there and he was in very good spirits when we arrived, which means he had fun and he felt very comfortable! Thanks Tiffany for giving us such peace of mind for a few days knowing our Ronnie was in very good hands!”
“This being our first time with Rover - and Josh- and being somewhat late in the planning stage, I was of course a bit nervous, but Josh put us at ease right away. He first offered a Meet-n-Greet where we got to visit him at his home, get to know him a bit, and talk about expectations and our senior dog’s needs. He was flexible with the drop off and pick up scheduling and followed up during our trip with daily text updates and pictures to keep us “in the know”. We joked with our family that our pup wouldn’t want to come home with us because she was being loved on so well. 😊 Being a bit of a high anxiety dog, she often will shed a lot when nervous, but when she arrived home it was obvious to me that she had had a good experience. She was not only bright-eyed and tail wagging, but her coat was shiny and smooth – she was happy and feeling good. As any pet lover would agree, it does a momma’s heart good to know that there is someone out there who will care for your fur-baby with the same, if not better intent than your own. We believe Josh treated our dog with the utmost care, and would definitely reach out to him again if we need a safe place for our pet. ~Thanks Josh!!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Steve! He watched our dog for 3 nights and went above & beyond to make sure he was happy and safe; playing fetch, taking him on regular walks, exploring different parks, fun car rides and even stopping for a pup cup. Steve was kind, reliable, maintained excellent communication, clearly showing he is great with dogs. We especially appreciated the daily updates and pictures-it gave us so much peace of mind seeing how much fun our dog was having. We would highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you Steve! 🐶🐾”
“Jamie is such a GOLD/DIAMOND STAR sitter. I messaged her at 9PM about an emergency pick up because my current dog sitter was not taking a good care of my dog when I was out of town. We never work with each other before but she was so responsive and was ready to pick my dog up at 9AM the next day! Less than 12 hours of notice! She gave multiple updates with pictures and video throughout the day. I feel bad sometimes because I don’t even response to them as much as she send them! She asked for dietary restrictions, patient with my dog when she first met him. She even gave him food topper from her own! He is eating better than when he is with me! When I have a delay to return, she make sure that my dog is actually being put in a good hand and not with the old dog sitter who did not treat him right. I feel so safe to have my baby in her care because she has such a great heart. I would 100% work with Jamie again! Her price is so affordable for the quality of care that she provides!”
“Ashley was very accommodating and flexible and understood that Hank was stressed when we left him. She let him snuggle for comfort and made sure he had what he needed to settle in. We will use her again. Thanks, Ashley. We appreciate the care you gave Hank.”
“Kat was a wonderful, caring sitter for our dog. She was very attentive to our requests, sent lots of pictures, and spent lots of time with our dog. It was obvious on picking up our dog that she enjoyed her stay with Kat.”
“One of the best experiences I have had on Rover. They sent pictures of the dogs playing and having fun. They were even super accommodating when we were very late to pick up due to traffic issues. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Amanda was great! She took my very energetic and sometimes anxious puppy over a holiday weekend with very short notice and he did amazing with her. She sent pictures and updates and spoiled him! We will definitely book with Amanda again!”
“Leo had a great time with Nathan. He took pictures and sent them regularly and was great responding to messages. He was able to watch Leo last min for the 4th which helped us a ton. His backyard was perfect for Leo. Thanks Nathan!!”
“Caitlin and family took great care of our two French bulldogs at her home while we were away on a family vacation. She was very patient and accommodating with the needs of our pups and helped them transition to being in a new environment. I received daily photos and videos of Buddy and Rocky on how they were doing. Overall, we were very pleased with the care that was given to our pups and will be using Caitlin for future family trips. I would recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a caring, dependable and knowledgeable person to care for their pets.”
“We think Erin is great and would book again. It’s nice knowing you can leave town and your pet is well taken care of. Erin sent us pictures of Winston while we were away and that was so nice because we sure missed our boy! When we got home Winston got to play with other pups and he loves that, I think he was sad he had to come home.”
“Aryal is very knowledgeable and has a great setup for hosting kitties! She took excellent care of both cats and helped one get recover from an eye infection. I also appreciate the detailed updates and photos! Thank you so much for your help!”
“Emily did an awesome job of taling care of Lucy. She sent me daily photos and text updates on how everything was going. Tgis was a cery short notice request and Emily took it all in stride and made it happen. We will use her again”
“Katrina and her family were wonderful! This was the first time my dog has stayed with someone other than family. He was pretty nervous at first and I could tell he didn’t want me to leave but they made him feel at home. Katrina sent me a picture to let me know he calmed down and warmed up to their house. I felt so relaxed knowing he was at a loving home. I definitely recommend Katrina and will definitely use her again when we leave town.”

About: I've taken care of dogs specifically since I was like 5. Whether it was a friend's dog, a family members or my own. Cats I have taken care of since I was 8. Changing litter? Done. Walking dogs? Done. Training? I do that too! I actually trained my own service dog who has since retired. Feed and water? Of course! Gotta get the essentials. Following directions, I will follow how YOU want your pet(s) taken care of. I have dealt with chihuahuas to great Danes to dogs bigger than that! No animal is too small. I will pick up messes, play with them, train them if you want, and obviously feed and water them. I can even stay over night with a pet if needed! I know some pets need extra support when their humans are a away, and I understand that may mean me staying over night. I have two dogs and two cats. I take care of the two dogs on a daily basis. Cats? Not so much but I do help out when asked as they are not actually mine but my roommates. I take my dogs out at LEAST 3 times a day typically more in warmer weather. But I take them out at least once when I wake up, once after or before lunch, and once before bed after they've ate their dinner. My dogs have stomach issues and only eat once a day near dinner time for me. I get them out more often to play now that its warming up outside In my clients home, as I don't do boarding at my own home, I can bring my own dog if asked for a play buddy but I would like a copy or to see the vaccination records to be safe. I will make sure the animals get some time to play and have plenty of attention while I am there. I will make sure dogs get outside to potty on either the specified schedule from my client or on a schedule I am able to run, but they will get out as much as I can make happen. Cats I'll make sure get some play time, if you're the kind of cat person who let's their cat out on a catio or leash or trust your cat out on its own for a bit I can make those happen too. I will make sure they have fresh litter when needed/requested. I will make sure both cats and dogs have fresh water and food on a schedule determined by the owner or when its needing refilled/changed.
“Nora is great! I always know my Finley will get such good attention. He loves belly rubs and treats of carrots and she always makes sure he gets these! i want to wish her a very Merry Christmas.”

“My 9 year old, handicapped, German Shepard, little lady had an awesome time with Aryl, her pack and her family! We've already booked another stay. 🥰 This stay took place over overnight for 7 consecutive nights while I was at work. This was the first time not to allow her to stay at home alone. After a few rough nights alone, getting stuck a couple times, and then not able to make it through the night without apotty break, I knew I needed to find someone. Because Miss Black has lost use of her hind legs and is now in a wheelchair her care is a little more complex. Aryl administered her medication, assisted as needed going potty, and kept her cleaned up and smelling fresh every morning. This has been such a relief knowing she is in good hands. It gave me such peace of mind while I was working. Aryl didn't have any problems reading her communication signs. Even when she had other Rover dogs over, she was able to give Miss Black everything she needed. I believe Aryl's past experiences have given her the insight she needed to provide great care. Instead of wondering what I was going to walk into after a long shift, I was greeted by my smiling pup right inside the door.”

About: I am open to most pets. Cats, Dogs, Horses, Calves, Lambs, Guinea Pigs, Turtles, etc..... If extra special care or out of state, I do charge travel fees. I do have experience with older pets and young ones. I have been known to raise Opossums from the size of mice to adults. If that gives you an idea! I am open to new proposals and willing to negotiate new situations! (Unencountered situations when it comes to pets) I also House-sit, plants, pets etc... I do travel out of state to Illinois (Mostly the North suburbs of Chicago) and Wisconsin. This is where I have done house-sitting. Pets and Plants can be included in this care. I do add travel expenses, mainly for gas, when traveling for house sitting. I get up in the morning and get my coffee going and then tend to pets that are around. They get fed first thing, inside and outside. Feral cats seem to be present in the morning. Litter boxes are checked. Water Bowls. Mostly I go to people's homes and care for the pets at their houses, but I have had people bring them to me. I have an extra room set up in my barn if there are anxieties or stress with animals and they need a quiet place. I am in the process of updating that room a little more. It is heated for the winter months. I do have hand brushes and combs for extra attention and I do go talk to whoever is around. If dogs come, they can be walked. Although I live in a small town, I am close to nice places to walk on the edge of town.

They made him part of the family while he was there and he was in very good spirits when we arrived, which means he had fun and he felt very comfortable! Thanks Tiffany for giving us such peace of mind for a few days knowing our Ronnie was in very good hands!”
“This being our first time with Rover - and Josh- and being somewhat late in the planning stage, I was of course a bit nervous, but Josh put us at ease right away. He first offered a Meet-n-Greet where we got to visit him at his home, get to know him a bit, and talk about expectations and our senior dog’s needs. He was flexible with the drop off and pick up scheduling and followed up during our trip with daily text updates and pictures to keep us “in the know”. We joked with our family that our pup wouldn’t want to come home with us because she was being loved on so well. 😊 Being a bit of a high anxiety dog, she often will shed a lot when nervous, but when she arrived home it was obvious to me that she had had a good experience. She was not only bright-eyed and tail wagging, but her coat was shiny and smooth – she was happy and feeling good. As any pet lover would agree, it does a momma’s heart good to know that there is someone out there who will care for your fur-baby with the same, if not better intent than your own. We believe Josh treated our dog with the utmost care, and would definitely reach out to him again if we need a safe place for our pet. ~Thanks Josh!!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Steve! He watched our dog for 3 nights and went above & beyond to make sure he was happy and safe; playing fetch, taking him on regular walks, exploring different parks, fun car rides and even stopping for a pup cup. Steve was kind, reliable, maintained excellent communication, clearly showing he is great with dogs. We especially appreciated the daily updates and pictures-it gave us so much peace of mind seeing how much fun our dog was having. We would highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you Steve! 🐶🐾”
“Jamie is such a GOLD/DIAMOND STAR sitter. I messaged her at 9PM about an emergency pick up because my current dog sitter was not taking a good care of my dog when I was out of town. We never work with each other before but she was so responsive and was ready to pick my dog up at 9AM the next day! Less than 12 hours of notice! She gave multiple updates with pictures and video throughout the day. I feel bad sometimes because I don’t even response to them as much as she send them! She asked for dietary restrictions, patient with my dog when she first met him. She even gave him food topper from her own! He is eating better than when he is with me! When I have a delay to return, she make sure that my dog is actually being put in a good hand and not with the old dog sitter who did not treat him right. I feel so safe to have my baby in her care because she has such a great heart. I would 100% work with Jamie again! Her price is so affordable for the quality of care that she provides!”
“Ashley was very accommodating and flexible and understood that Hank was stressed when we left him. She let him snuggle for comfort and made sure he had what he needed to settle in. We will use her again. Thanks, Ashley. We appreciate the care you gave Hank.”
“One of the best experiences I have had on Rover. They sent pictures of the dogs playing and having fun. They were even super accommodating when we were very late to pick up due to traffic issues. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Amanda was great! She took my very energetic and sometimes anxious puppy over a holiday weekend with very short notice and he did amazing with her. She sent pictures and updates and spoiled him! We will definitely book with Amanda again!”
“Leo had a great time with Nathan. He took pictures and sent them regularly and was great responding to messages. He was able to watch Leo last min for the 4th which helped us a ton. His backyard was perfect for Leo. Thanks Nathan!!”
“Caitlin and family took great care of our two French bulldogs at her home while we were away on a family vacation. She was very patient and accommodating with the needs of our pups and helped them transition to being in a new environment. I received daily photos and videos of Buddy and Rocky on how they were doing. Overall, we were very pleased with the care that was given to our pups and will be using Caitlin for future family trips. I would recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a caring, dependable and knowledgeable person to care for their pets.”
“We think Erin is great and would book again. It’s nice knowing you can leave town and your pet is well taken care of. Erin sent us pictures of Winston while we were away and that was so nice because we sure missed our boy! When we got home Winston got to play with other pups and he loves that, I think he was sad he had to come home.”
“Aryal is very knowledgeable and has a great setup for hosting kitties! She took excellent care of both cats and helped one get recover from an eye infection. I also appreciate the detailed updates and photos! Thank you so much for your help!”
“Emily did an awesome job of taling care of Lucy. She sent me daily photos and text updates on how everything was going. Tgis was a cery short notice request and Emily took it all in stride and made it happen. We will use her again”
“Katrina and her family were wonderful! This was the first time my dog has stayed with someone other than family. He was pretty nervous at first and I could tell he didn’t want me to leave but they made him feel at home. Katrina sent me a picture to let me know he calmed down and warmed up to their house. I felt so relaxed knowing he was at a loving home. I definitely recommend Katrina and will definitely use her again when we leave town.”
“If I could give Alison 10 stars I would. She was our hero this last weekend. Our poor pup caught a case of diarrhea the first night that we left her with the original sitter. While we were on the runway waiting for our airplane to take off, the original sitter called us panicking saying that she could not continue to watch our dog. Rover helped us get in contact with Alison who answered the call for help immediately. She drove all the way to the other sitter’s house to pick up our baby and took amazing care of her. Alison hand fed our dog when she was feeling sick and took her out every hour throughout the night. She made our pup feel right at home and put our minds at ease too. Alison is absolutely the type of person that can be trusted to treat your pet like her own family.”
“Paul and his son did an amazing job caring for my dog! I felt like we were long lost friends by the time I left when I dropped Kitty off because they are so personable and kind! Paul sent videos and kept in contact with me throughout her stay. Paul went above and beyond by making Kitty some homemade food when I miscalculated and she ran out. I would hands down recommend Paul to anyone looking for a sitter that pays individual attention to your fur baby!”
