Highly-rated overnight sitters - Clinton
“Katie and her family have been a true blessing for us and our pup, Stormy. The way they shower her with affection and take care of her needs is truly remarkable, making us feel grateful and relieved that she's in good hands. It's no wonder that we affectionately refer to them as Stormy's second family, as she has grown to love them as her own. Without hesitation, we highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.”
“We went on vacation and was carefree my fur baby was well taken care of and in good hands. The pictures I got while gone were beautiful shots. Sarah looks very comfortable with the kids. I’m sure she had a great time!”
“Geta enjoys visiting Darcy, Charlie and the family, she gets so excited when we get close to arriving at Darcys home...I feel very comfortable leaving my girl while take vacations or go to work..thank you always”
“This was our first experience with the Rover app and Shannon taking care of Maggie. It could not have been a better experience! Shannon was great with communication and very timely. We had boarding arrangements elsewhere and they canceled at the last minute. Shannon was quick to reply to my inquiry and helped me navigate the Rover app. The "Meet & Greet" went very well with Maggie meeting Shannon's personal K-9 companions. Right from the start, we were very comfortable and confident that Shannon would take great care of Maggie. She was very personable and kept us informed during our travels with pics/updates. When arriving to pick her up, Maggie was happy & seemingly didn't care that we had returned. It was very obvious that Maggie was well cared for and SPOILED! We highly recommend Shannon and won't hesitate to use her again. (6+ 🌟)”
“Emily did a wonderful job caring for our two senior dogs during our vacation. She sent me regular photos and updates and was responsive to my messages. Emily and her family gave our fur babies lots of love during their stay at her home for a week. I would highly recommend Emily for pet sitting/boarding.”
“Heather gives excellent care to our Jude by spoiling him with extra little things.:) I'm not sure Jude even wanted to come home with us after his stay...lol!! I have used Heather about 2-3 times and will continue to do so.”
About: I have always loved dogs and cats! I am happy to peek in on your fur babies while you need to be away. Will provide whatever care is necessary. Years of experience! Accommodating, caring and reliable. I will treat your pet just as you would, like family! Whether a walk outside to potty or a quick run around the fenced yard, I will provide you and your pet with outstanding service with attention to detail. Cat care is also available. I will provide service locally. I will always clean up/pick up after your pup. I enjoy snuggling the cats and dogs. I spent 34 years caring for young children so I come well equipped with patience, understanding and compassion. Book a sitting with me today for an excellent, safety conscious visit for your sweet fur baby! I work during the week so this leaves me open to schedule sittings on Friday and weekends.I can come to you or well behaved dogs are welcome in my home on weekends. My schedule can be flexible. Generally Friday- Sunday evening but flexible. I care for the fur babies in the manner they are accustomed to. This keeps everyone happy. I try to do whatever the pup is used to.
About: Senior care experience! I've adopted multiple dogs at 10+ yrs old from the local pounds and made sure they had the best senior care experience possible. I currently have 2 dogs, both spayed and absolutely love other dogs. A Corgi (Ruby) who is 9 and a Maltipoo (Joplin) who will be 2 this year. The poo was adopted from a kill shelter in TX (and one before her from the same area as well). We've lost 4 dogs in 2 yrs due to old age, 3 within 6 months. Hard pill to swallow but I love them all and would LOVE to love yours too! I am a stay-at-home dog mom. I have all the time in the world to take care of your babies! Believe me when I say they will come home all tuckered out :) I have a fenced in back yard and 2 VERY friendly dogs to keep your pups very much entertained! In your home (if a dog sitter in home is required) you can expect all of their daily schedules to be fulfilled.
“Mary is literally the best pup sitter. She takes such care of our pup like he is her own. You can tell her heart belongs to the dogs she sits for by how she takes care of them. You won't be sorry for choosing Mary.”
“Thanos seemed like he really enjoyed his stay with Olivia and family. I truly appreciate her accommodating for his last minute stay. She communicated well and sent lots of updates and pictures. Thanos came back to us with a smile and new friends. Definitely recommend!”
“Nyjeah W. Took good care of my Schnoodle Dog Hosanna and my cat Shylynn she was very responsive with updates, very reliable. I would recommend her if you need someone to watch your loving pets she's the best.”

About: Ever since I was young, I would take care of animals. I’ve wanted to have a career working with animals for as long as I can remember. Every animal should be cared for with love and affection, from a mastiff to a guppy. They don’t get as much time on this Earth as we do, so we better make it as great as we can for them. I’ll love your animals like they’re my own, and make sure that they feel happy and content while you’re away. Animals, not just doggos, are a joy to have in my life and to care for. Thanks for taking the time to read! If you have any questions, you’re welcome to message me! ❤️ I appreciate you and wish you a great day!

I am also an accomplished gardener and can help with your plant/ garden care while away. I have been to dog obedience, classes, and can help reinforce your pets training. I don't see a place to mark it on this website but I am fine with taking care of your pet bird, pond, aquariums, including exotic fish, horses, cattle and pet pigs. Let me know your preferences on keeping you updated on your pets while away. If I'm feeding your pet, I prefer a meet and greet so you are comfortable and insist on written or texted instructions on your pet's schedule in advance so it's less stressful for your pets. If they are going outside I will want to check out their fenced yard in daylight and go over any concerns for the 5 star sitter experience I offer. Right now I'm offering to walk your pet, in home visits, but I'm not offering to spend the night, or have them here at my house. I work short days 2 days a week in medical care in Sterling, and can help you before, after or lunch breaks. The other 5 days my schedule is open to travel further and to other towns I walk 3-5 miles everyday and enjoy being outside. I'm dialing down my professional work in medicine from full time to parttime to enjoy life a bit more. That is why I am new here at Rover. I can now do more things, and that includes loving more fur babies. I have a rescue cat named Tessa, she's 15 and the most snuggly cat on the planet. We sleep together. She is tiny, but the vets says she's in excellent health with fabulous teeth and labs. My huge cat Rupert is 7 and he was born on a farm, and is hard to photograph here as he covers my whole lap and then some. He has a loud purr and loves to sit a certain way on my lap. My pond is currently healthy and some of the fish are 6 inches long. I had a 3 pound koi who I trained to swim through a hoop. I loved her. Is it possible to love a fish? I did. We have a few horses renting the pasture this year. We used to own and raise gaited horses. I love horses. I think they are good at reading people, and elegant.

“Sam and Sarah are seriously the GREATEST people on the planet! I think my dog Zeus would prefer to be at their house than at his own home with me! :) Not only do Sam and Sarah take great care of Zeus while I'm at work, but they go above and beyond to make sure he gets exercise, plays with other dogs, and gets time to relax inside without being in a kennel or crate! Sam and Sarah are the BEST!”
“Genna and her family are wonderful! We were traveling from out of state, and had the opportunity to meet up with some old friends for dinner. We contacted Genna and she opened her home to our senior golden doodle. I was impressed that before saying yes, Genna asked some questions to make sure her home was a good fit. She sent pictures that reassured us that he was doing fine. She has a nice house and a larged fenced yard to insure the safety of your pet. I would absolutely recommend Genna for your pet sitting needs!”

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a young child & doggos have always been a special part of my life! They become important family members who give & get the unconditional love we all deserve!

Exactly the reason I would be the perfect person to love, snuggle, take care of & give your dogs the attention they want and need while you’re away or busy! puppers will always be able to depend on seeing my kind face and caring hand at times like these. Just as they support our emotional needs on a daily basis, I have come to love returning the small favor for them! I am home full time & dedicate my day to taking care of my kids, my doggo, my 2 docile kittens & my household. My time is not limited. My kids and I love to take walks with the dog, go to local dog parks occasionally when they are empty & clean, & play fetch in our large, clean yard!
“Darcie really helped us out, accepting our last-minute booking for our Giant Schnauzer puppy, Iris, without hesitation! Iris undoubtedly had a great time, with access to lots of sunshine and outside play in the large fenced-in yard - just what she needs. We will definitely reach out to Darcie in the future!”

“Tiffany was great! We were traveling through Iowa and needed a place to leave Tommy for the afternoon so we could take a riverboat sightseeing tour. Due to poor planning on my part we had to find someone just a few days before our trip, but Tiffany responded to my request very quickly and was able to take him on short notice. She was so kind, and Tommy warmed up to her quickly. We really appreciated having a great place to take him for the afternoon!”
“Lance took in my pup last minute and she absolutely loved her time with him! I know this because when I went to pick up, she followed him when he went to grab her stuff. Great piece of mind for me leaving her as we explored the Quad Cities! He walked at the park and chilled with her on his deck. I know this because I received pictures and updates. Thank you Lance!”

“This was our first experience with the Rover app and Shannon taking care of Maggie. It could not have been a better experience! Shannon was great with communication and very timely. We had boarding arrangements elsewhere and they canceled at the last minute. Shannon was quick to reply to my inquiry and helped me navigate the Rover app. The "Meet & Greet" went very well with Maggie meeting Shannon's personal K-9 companions. Right from the start, we were very comfortable and confident that Shannon would take great care of Maggie. She was very personable and kept us informed during our travels with pics/updates. When arriving to pick her up, Maggie was happy & seemingly didn't care that we had returned. It was very obvious that Maggie was well cared for and SPOILED! We highly recommend Shannon and won't hesitate to use her again. (6+ 🌟)”
“Heather gives excellent care to our Jude by spoiling him with extra little things.:) I'm not sure Jude even wanted to come home with us after his stay...lol!! I have used Heather about 2-3 times and will continue to do so.”
About: I have always loved dogs and cats! I am happy to peek in on your fur babies while you need to be away. Will provide whatever care is necessary. Years of experience! Accommodating, caring and reliable. I will treat your pet just as you would, like family! Whether a walk outside to potty or a quick run around the fenced yard, I will provide you and your pet with outstanding service with attention to detail. Cat care is also available. I will provide service locally. I will always clean up/pick up after your pup. I enjoy snuggling the cats and dogs. I spent 34 years caring for young children so I come well equipped with patience, understanding and compassion. Book a sitting with me today for an excellent, safety conscious visit for your sweet fur baby! I work during the week so this leaves me open to schedule sittings on Friday and weekends.I can come to you or well behaved dogs are welcome in my home on weekends. My schedule can be flexible. Generally Friday- Sunday evening but flexible. I care for the fur babies in the manner they are accustomed to. This keeps everyone happy. I try to do whatever the pup is used to.
“Mary is literally the best pup sitter. She takes such care of our pup like he is her own. You can tell her heart belongs to the dogs she sits for by how she takes care of them. You won't be sorry for choosing Mary.”
“Thanos seemed like he really enjoyed his stay with Olivia and family. I truly appreciate her accommodating for his last minute stay. She communicated well and sent lots of updates and pictures. Thanos came back to us with a smile and new friends. Definitely recommend!”
“Nyjeah W. Took good care of my Schnoodle Dog Hosanna and my cat Shylynn she was very responsive with updates, very reliable. I would recommend her if you need someone to watch your loving pets she's the best.”
About: I am also a dog parent and have been for over 12 years. My fur babies consume most my days and why not spread the happiness! I have walked and cared for others here in town and have been given great compliments and encouragement to help others thru this app since it's convenient and trusted! My routine mostly revolves around my fur babies. Morning we spend 2.5 -3 hours exercising exploring and making friends. Afternoon and night time another 30-45 min each one for potty and walk. It'll be very easy to include your pups they'll love the activities and best of all find some of what they're looking for 💚 In home ... each have bed/ room/ crate to be in. In your home i will care for your pet as you requested. Feeding the amount as per pet parent, meds or crate as per owner request
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the second time she has watched my French Bulldog, and I couldn't be happier. This time she cared for him for almost 10 days, and she was absolutely amazing. She kept me updated, made sure he was well cared for, and treated him like he was part of her own family. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands while I was away. When I picked him up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well loved. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be using her again in the future! 🐾❤️”
“I highly recommend Juliet as a dog sitter. We spent time together prior to my trip. She is kind and truly loves dogs. I appreciate that she sent me photos every day. I will definitely use Juliet as a sitter again.”
