Personalized care for your dog or cat - Bannockburn
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Bannockburn
“Hannah is probably one of the best dog sitters I’ve met. Piper would rather stay with her than come home! Without a doubt will be using Hannah as much as possible. She sends daily updates and her timely replies and flexibility is unmatched.”
“Wonderful, fun place for my sweet little dog to spend his vacation. Ewa and her husband truly love dogs. They send lots of photos and videos. Their dogs are so mellow about having even small dogs around. Mochi is well taken care of there. He loves going and I love being confident he is happy there.”
“Balaji, Sanna and Mocha are simply amazing!! We were so excited to receive the frequent photo and video updates daily! Simba truly had the time of his life during his 9 day stay with them, and I’m sure he will miss this time a lot as he adjusts back. He got so spoiled with his frequent walks and play time with Mocha’s toys, friends and space!! Thank you all again so much. We can’t wait for him to spend time again with you all soon hopefully.”
“Since this was a first ever boarding experience for both Carmen and me, we were a bit nervous. Mike made the experience a pleasure and kept me informed with pictures of Carmen relaxed and enjoying her stay. When I picked her up three days later, she didn’t want to leave her new canine buddies. I would definitely use Mike again.”
“Gus and Gertie had a great time with Mama D! They made new friends and she even taught them to walk down the stairs. Deidre updated me with many videos and photos which eased my anxiety of leaving the puppies with someone for the first time. We will definitely use her for future trips! Thank you Deidre!”
“Thea we can’t thank you enough for taking such good care of Lando!! We received very thorough updates each day with lots of pictures. Lando loved hanging out on the patio and got to go on plenty of walks while in Thea’s care. She successfully administered antibiotics and helped him adjust to his stay. 10/10 would book with Thea again :)”
“Jessica is fantastic! She took our pup to the park and on her errands which made him very happy. Very communicative too the entire time with photos and videos. And she takes excellent photos to boot!”
“Amy & Lamar are the best! Our pup loves spending time at their home. He’s always so excited when we drop him off. They send us pics and videos so we know he’s well taken care of.”
“Yamile is super nice and you can tell she likes pets. She took good care of my dog and cat. I also appreciated that her dog was very chill, even around my cat (they barely acknowledged each other!). Would book with her again.”
“Jayne took care of our dog Biubiu for a whole month and did a fantastic job! We could tell Jayne really bonded with Biubiu and treated him as if he were her own dog. A few weeks into the stay Biubiu had some soft/liquid stool issues, and Jayne did a great job communicating with us so we could determine the best course of action for Biubiu. She also took the most amazing daily photos of Biubiu, way better than the pictures we ourselves have taken of him.”
“Jean is caring and very attentive to my dog. She gave multiple updates throughout his time there and paid attention to his behavior and asked questions. Very highly recommended”
“We truly appreciate Leigh & her family! She is so sweet & you can tell she’s a dog person - my dog always love to greet her! My dog gets along great with her rescue & loves the bay window to watch the squirrels go by. We are definitely repeat customers :)”
“Five very waggy stars for Meghan (and her sweet pup, Ralphie)! Meghan is absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that she is a true dog lover with tons of experience, and she knew exactly how to make our dog feel safe, happy, and completely at home. Our dog was treated like a member of her family and had the time of his life playing with Ralphie and the other dogs. The adorable photos and videos gave us so much peace of mind while we were away...and honestly, I think he was a little sad to come home, which is probably the highest compliment a dog can give. We will absolutely book again. Weekend at Ralphie’s is officially dog-approved!”
“Julie is fantastic with dogs. She takes great care of Harlie, as if she were her own. Her sweet Pug Daisy is such a lovely companion for my dog. Such a great dog sitter!”
“Kyle did a great job watching Bailey. There were times in the past with other sitters where Bailey would come back traumatized and take a few days to get back to normal. After being with Kyle for four days Bailey was fine returning home. I think being the only dog at Kyle’s house is a big plus. We received periodic picture and video updates which help relieve our anxiety during the trip. We have no reservations in asking Kyle to watch Bailey again.”

Cat caregivers near you - Bannockburn
About: Cats have been a part of my life for the past 16 years, and caring for them is truly one of my greatest joys. I've had the privilege of caring for my own cats as well as the beloved cats of family and friends, giving me experience with a wide variety of personalities and needs. From energetic kittens and affectionate cuddlers to independent cats, shy rescues, and senior companions, I understand that every cat is unique and deserves individualized care. I have also volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I helped clean, socialize, play with, and care for cats while they waited for their forever homes. This experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a calm, stress-free environment so each cat can feel safe and comfortable. In addition to my cat experience, I've spent many years caring for dogs, including administering daily medications and working with dogs experiencing separation anxiety and trauma. These experiences have strengthened my ability to recognize animal behavior, build trust at each pet's own pace, and provide compassionate, attentive care. Whether your cat loves to play, cuddle, observe from a distance, or simply enjoys a consistent routine, I'll respect their personality and make sure they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while you're away. My goal is for both you and your cat to feel comfortable knowing they're in caring, reliable hands.
“Natalia did an excellent job looking after my cat Shweta while I was gone on vacation for Labor day weekend! Shweta became quite acclimated with Natalia and I look forward to booking her again for Shweta in the future! Highly recommend!”
“Abby is the sweetest person ever! Which In turn makes her the best person caring for our fur babies! On time, fed, watered and played with our cat etc! Sent me updates! I will definitely use her next time as well!”
“Absolute lifesaver. My cat got tangled in a shopping bag while I was out, and I was panicking. Jason responded immediately, got to my place fast, freed my cat, and kept me updated the whole time. So grateful for his quick thinking in an emergency - can’t recommend him enough!”
“Beth was wonderful. She is so sweet with my little cat and figured out right away how she likes to be pet. I really appreciated her sending pics and letting me know everything was ok. She went above and beyond in her care while I was gone and she is always very punctual and responsible. I’m very glad to have found Beth!!”
“My animals were calm and happy when we returned. Diana’s communication was clear and she was on time. Don’t let everyone know or she might not be available when I need her next. :)”
“Sarah took care of our cat for four days at our house while we were away. He has to be given medication at certain times during the day and also loves human attention. Sarah was caring and responsible, spent time hanging out with him, and made sure he got his meals and medicine at the right times. She also checked in with us, asked good questions, and responded quickly when we checked in with her. We hope to hire Sarah again, and highly recommend her for petsitting and housesitting.”
About: Since finding a stray kitten when I was 5 to now, I can’t remember a time without a cat in my home. In that time I’ve handled it all from day old kittens to senior cats and everything in between (even bathing one after getting sprayed by a skunk). During this time I want to college and even got more knowledge on how to care for these fluff balls. I’ve given just about every form of meditation to cats if needed and I make sure they get mental stimulation for brain health as well. I’ve worked at a zoo taking care of animals as well so I know and have handled my own zoo at home!
“Absolutely wonderful pet sitter! Danielle took great care of my cat and kept me updated with photos and messages. I would definitely book again and highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for 35 years. I currently have a German Shepherd and a domestic short hair cat. I volunteer at the humane society socializing cats. I am retired and have time and love enough to care for your small dog or cat. We travel a bit but am available when in town. I’m available for drop in visits or overnights. I am experienced keeping an active dog entertained. I can take small dogs for walks in your neighborhood
“We were so lucky to have Abigail take care of our cat. Domu can be a bit skittish, but Abigail gave plenty of cuddles and TLC in addition to taking excellent care of her while we were away!”
“Christina was amazing!! We knew she was special when she got our very timid Bodhi to come out of hiding on her very first visit!! She sent lots of photos and updates, and our spoiled kitties were clearly very happy and pampered in her care. She made us feel a lot less guilty about leaving them, haha. We would highly recommend her, and would definitely have her look after our kitties again 😊”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bannockburn
About: I just graduated from UMass Amherst with a degree in Pre-Veterinary Science. I have grown up with pets and taken care of them for years! I’ve had dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish! I have a lot of experience taking care of animals as I’ve interned at a zoo and volunteered at shelters and vet clinics. I’m very comfortable giving medications to pets as I’ve had a lot of practice with this with my own pets and while sitting! I am currently traveling in Europe and will not be home until October 10th. I am available after that for meet and greets or I can do virtual meet and greets as well! I am looking to move states in the coming months so I will not be available for long term sitting. My house has one kitten, and my backyard is not fenced in. I’d love to take care of your pet in either your home or mine, whichever is easiest!
“We’re so glad we found Nicole when we needed last-minute care for our pup — she was fantastic. Our dog warmed up to her instantly, had a great day, and the happy updates she sent throughout kept us from worrying. We’d definitely book her again!”
“My dog Toby had the best time in Thea’s care. He really enjoyed going there and was happy to meet and socialize with Osiris and Chester, his big brothers. We are definitely be booking with Thea again. Thank you:)”
“Julie was great! Her home is very dog friendly. She catered to Bitsy by letting her sleep on her lap. And, she sent adorable pictures throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
“Great experience with the doggy daycare! Michael was friendly, caring, and kept me updated throughout my dog’s stay. He came home happy and tired, which is always a good sign. I’d definitely recommend Michael and will be using him again!”
“Penny was incredibly happy at pick up! She was definitely in a safe home. Her new friend Mocha is the cutest! Balaji was outstanding with communication and updates with pictures and videos. We look forward to seeing you next week! Thank you so much for Penny’s goodies!!”
“Amy and Lamar were awesome taking great care of my energetic GSP. Lots of photos and communication kept me in the loop all day. I came home with a tired pup which is the best indicator of a fun day!!!”
“This house is the definition of love. My dog loves to be around this family and is such a humble experience to know that Uma is so happy to go and spend time with them. Space is super clean, yard is so big and they simply love animals. I came across angels and I’m very very grateful for them!”
“Deidre was fantastic! Will definitely use again when we’re in town next! At drop off, my dogs were comfortable with her right away and at pick up my dogs came home tired and happy! Thank you!”
“This was the first time Belle and Lucy stayed with Jean and they had a blast! She took such good care of my babies that I didn’t have to worry about them at all! We are glad to have found her and hope to use her services again in the future. Highly recommended.”
About: I owned a cat for 16 years and most recently a dog for almost 16! Not ready for another of my own just yet, but missing the cuddles and walks! As a teacher I am back to work this week so will only be available on the weekends for the time being. Will update my availability as holidays and school breaks approach. I have a fenced in side yard area that dogs can use throughout the day. I also have my own crate that a dog can sleep in, as well as my own litter box for cats to use.
“Daphne had a fabulous time with Svitlana! I was somewhat of a nervous wreck since my dog was attacked a few months ago by another dog and Svitlana was attentive to our needs and made sure Daphne still had a great time! HIGHLY recommend her!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals. I love people who love animals! I enjoy giving ear scratches, tummy rubs and nose boops. We are a military family, with 3 furry friends. Let’s connect and hopefully you can find trust in myself with your most precious pets! I’m currently working part time. I have a flexible schedule as far as what services you may need. I’m open most weekends and week days. I can watch in your home or mine or stop by to take your dog out for the day! I have a fenced yard and a friendly husky. We are big on parks, walking and fetch. Big or small, I don’t mind at all!
About: Hello! We love furry friends. We will spend time with your pets and take best care of them. We will let your pets feel like they are always surrounded with love. We need to go to office three days a week. We will get home around 5pm and both me and my husband can take care daily. We have a very friendly 6 years old yellow lab, Coco, at home. We go out 3 times a day and play with her very often. We will do the same thing and crated if you request.
“Pat took great care of my dog. She has a lot of experience and really cares about animals. This was my dog's first time with Pat and he seemed to have enjoyed himself (even though he was a little uneasy with an unfamiliar environment). I definitely recommend Pat to care for your fur babies.”

“Nataliia is wonderful! Extremely responsive and provided detailed reports and photos of her walks with Bessie. Our dog loves her and we will be reaching out to her in the future! Thanks so much Nataliia!!”
“Jason has been a huge help taking care of my dogs a couple times a week. They love him! He leaves detailed notes, asks questions as needed, and sends lots of pics. Thanks Jason!”
“Diana was prompt, responsive and reliable! She was great to work with and I felt so much relief leaving my pets in good hands while I was away. Thank you Diana! Will absolutely rebook soon”
“This was my first time using Rover and Denis was amazing!! He was so professional and immediately put me at ease when we met. It was so fun to get pics of our dog while we were out of town & I knew he was being taken care of. I highly recommend Denis & Nikki!”
“Hanna was wonderful with Jaxx on his first walk. He was shy at first since he’d never had a walker before, but her calm and patient approach helped him warm up quickly. She let him walk at his own pace, shared detailed updates, and even sent a picture, which I really appreciated. I felt very relieved and will definitely continue using her services”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was young, starting with my neighbor's Old English Sheepdog. Today, I'm the go-to sitter my sister relies on to care for her little fluffball, whether it's for an evening away or extended vacations. I'm comfortable providing consistent, attentive care for every pet -- and following your every instruction to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you're away. I currently work a flexible, non-traditional schedule that includes fantasy illustration projects and teaching art classes. This gives me built-in gaps during the day that I'd love to fill with dog care, whether that means walks, playtime, or multi-day companionship. Your dog's routine and well-being are my top priorities. I make sure that your dog gets the best care possible and will follow all instructions to the letter: setting phone alarms to ensure potty breaks and meals happen right on time, monitoring treats so your dog is neither over- nor under-indulged, and sticking closely to established sleep schedules. I'm equally respectful of your home, taking care to leave it as clean and orderly (or better) than when I arrived.
About: I’ve taken care of and loved dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. From puppies/kittens to seniors and in between. And all sizes! I also have experience with special needs dogs, including my own collie who had lower jaw removal surgery. I’ve had 2 cats in this time from when they were young to seniors. I recently adopted 2 young cats who love people. For dogs, I’ve adopted dogs of all different ages with various health needs. I only occasionally go into the office and work from home Mon - Fri. I’m used to having multiple animals so I’m comfortable with whatever their schedule may need. I want to follow the routine you have created and anything else to make sure they feel comfortable in my home or yours. They will get lots of love and attention from me during our time together!
About: I have a dog of my own who is very spoiled, loving, and definitely a little needy, so I’m very comfortable giving pets plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I’ve also cared for larger dogs, including Golden Retrievers, and I’m comfortable keeping up with their energy and needs. I’ve had experience staying overnight at clients’ homes to care for their pets, making sure they’re comfortable and following their normal routines while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, care, and love I give my own I currently work M, T, Th, F from 8 AM–6 PM. I’m fully available on Wednesdays and throughout the weekend, which gives me plenty of flexibility for overnight stays, longer visits, walks, and other pet care. For weekday bookings, I’m happy to discuss what works best around my work schedule. I’ll always communicate clearly ahead of time to make sure your pet’s needs and routine are taken care of. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I’m attentive to their surroundings, routines, and individual needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and secure while in my care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, which is why I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, communicate with you throughout the booking, and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, care, and love I give my own.

About: I’ve had dogs in my family since I was in elementary school. I’ve been responsible for things like feeding them, walking them, and taking them out at night and in the morning Right now, my only commitments are on Sunday mornings, when I teach religious school in Deerfield. I’m looking for my next full time job currently, and heard about Rover through word of mouth. I’ll take your dog out first thing in the morning and last thing before bed. I’ll feed them right after they go out in the morning, and before I have dinner myself. I’ll also walk them at least once a day, weather dependent
About: My doggies taught me everything I know. They are no longer here - they went to doggy heaven and we miss them all the time. My teens and I have a lot love to give and want to share with your doggy. You can rest assured we would treat your doggy as if it were ours. Also, anything under 10.5 miles for more than 1 day I offer pick up and dropp off. I work from home and have a very tight routine in our home that will help your pet feel calm and secure. Since pets thrive on routine it will bring them peace and calmness. I can give extra walks when it's a nice day and make sure we stay active if need or relaxed and enjoying a lazy "dog day". I have a quiet, grassy backyard that gives dogs a calm place to sniff, stretch their legs, and enjoy fresh air. It's a low-stress space that's great for potty breaks and relaxed outdoor time. I'm very mindful of which dogs are a good fit for my space and always put safety and comfort first so that your pups feel happy and at ease while they're with me. Doggies are allowed on our beds and couches and even our bathrooms :) - we keep a light sense of humor
About: I’ve had a dog since I was six who has gone through multiple health conditions and taken care of him. I was a secondary sitter for Paws 4 A Cause, an organization that trains and sits service dogs in training and I love to do this in my free time. Available in the mornings and daytimes Monday through Thursday. Available Friday-Sunday most times. Work in theatre so the nights are usually busy for me. I always keep my house pet friendly and safe, as well as providing an extra bowl for water and extra poop bags. I love walking with dogs and helping them learn new things.

You can really tell that Bob enjoys dogs and cares for mine like his own! He also had excellent communication and went above and beyond providing updates and photos.

We would absolutely send Quincy back to Kelly’s house in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitter!”
