“Kimberly was super good with my dog Phoebe, sent daily updates and took great care of her. She was very accommodating and worked around our vacation schedule. Will definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Mera was incredible with my dog Winston. He is an older dog and Mera went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. I am very thankful to Rover for connecting me with Mera!”
“Keith was great, our dog was well cared for and happy while he was there. He gave us updates and sent pictures as well. He is easy to work with and very responsive. We’ll be back!”
“Susan was absolutely amazing with Paganini! 🐾 She has a big backyard where he got to run and play all day, and she took him on long, happy walks too. Throughout the day, she sent me tons of adorable photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Paganini came home happy, calm, and completely well-rested—a true sign he was loved and well cared for. She was also incredibly kind, communicative, and accommodating with our schedule, especially knowing we have a baby at home. On top of that, she made sure Paganini got his daily medication without any issues, which was such a relief. I honestly can’t recommend Susan enough—she treated Paganini like one of her own, and we feel so lucky to have found her!”
“It is with deepest regret that we have to inform any previous sitter that we said was good in the past..... DOES NOT HOLD A CANDLE TO MIRIAM & TERRELL!!! No, we are not relatives or neighbors of/to them. No we didn't know them from the ole' college days, and no we didn't meet them at a bar or grocery store. Nope. We just needed a sitter about 5 days before we left town, saw their listing here on Rover. We messaged back and forth a bit, booked it, dropped 'em off Friday night, and WOW! They are truly into being great sitters for your pups! No joke. You could not ask for anymore. So many updates. So many little features that I will not tell you, but you will love... We promise. You can go off to wherever it is your going, and from drop off to pick up, you will not worry one bit about your pupper(s)! Unless there is an apocalypse, we will not use anyone else! Thank you Miriam & Terrell!”
“Gave updates every day and took great care of my dog King while I was away. He has liver and ear issues and Balbina gave him ear drops and medicine every day. I felt comfortable leaving even though he was dealing with some medical issues.”
“Leslie was amazing!!! It was obvious right away that my dogs loved her. She was so good with Molly and Bear, whether it was playtime or snuggle time. And she was absolutely wonderful about keeping us updated regularly! It’s hard to leave my pups, but her updates and pictures made it a lot easier. Leslie really cares for your pups. She is truly wonderful.”
“We can't say enough good things about Jackie and her family! Frank and Homer were in the best hands while we were out of town. She sent daily updates and photos, and both dogs were happy and tired when we got home. We highly recommend Jackie to anyone in need of someone reliable and loving to care for their dog!”
“Danielle was nice enough to take our pups in an emergency situation. She was absolutely GREAT with them. They were well taken care of, even during a storm. You can rest assured Danielle will take the best care possible of your pets. We already have two other trips booked with her because she was sooo good”
“My multipoo stayed with Eric over the weekend. Eric sent a photo daily and was always quick to respond to questions. My dog returned home healthy and happy. I highly recommend Eric for boarding! Jan”
“Our elderly and special needs Pomeranian felt right at home with Jill and her family. We could see his happiness each day in the wonderful pictures she sent us. A home filled with love for animals. We will absolutely book with Jill again ❤️”
“Peggy is absolutely amazing! I can tell our dog is completely loved and taken care very well. I am very happy to find Peggy, she and her husband are true dog lover and takes amazing care of dogs. Their home is neat and dog friendly. Your pet will be in great hands. Definitely recommend.”
“Bebe was wonderful! She took great care of my pup, Winnie and treated her as if she were her own. I had no doubt that Winnie was in good hands, which really helped to put my mind at ease while I was away. She was extremely flexible with pickup and drop off times and made communication very easy. She also sent lots of pictures of their outings. I'll definitely be using Bebe in the future!”
“Jackie is the best sitter I have had since using Rover. I am at total ease leaving Frito with her. She sends lots of pictures and he loves being there. He snuggles up with Jackie and her family members. I see that he feels safe which is quite an accomplishment given his anxious nature. Jackie is professional and has followed my detailed instructions for Frito everytime. I am so grateful I found her on Rover.com. I don't want to leave Frito with anyone else. I highly recommend Jackie - you will not be dissapointed.”
“Fanny was so attentive to my dog, she treated him with lots of love and tender care, and, patience, as if he was her own! I definitely would use her again. I highly recommend her services! She is very kind, friendly, and accommodating!!!”
“Brian and his family were amazing! We did a meet and greet beforehand and I knew from there my dog would be in the best hands. They would send me pictures daily and would reply to me right away! Communication was great throughout the whole stay. Would definitely be using again. Thank you guys”
“Selena did an amazing job and made the whole experience feel effortless. My pup had the best time ever and even better was Selena was incredible about updating me with pictures and videos throughout it all. Selena and her pups were great in welcoming my boy into their home, I could tell my dog was bummed when his stay ended. I would definitely rebook and encourage anyone looking for someone they can trust to take of their pets to look no further”
“As usual a great service! they helps us a lot. This time we use their boarding service because my wife was going to give birth. They were as always extremely kind and understanding with Lucas and Max's delivery and pick up times.”
“Ashley was an amazing host, I was nervous at first because I hardly ever leave rono for more than a day or two, but that quickly went away. As soon as Ashley introduced herself to rono I knew I had nothing to worry about. She also sent photos and videos everyday to ensure he was having a pleasant stay. I would not hesitate on booking again.”
“Scout has only been boarded with one family in the last 4 years. When they cancelled last minute Valerie jumped in with short notice and took Scout in for the weekend. She was great at communicating and sending pictures. I will absolutely use her again!”

About: In kennel settings I’ve worked it, I have also taken care of cats. I have my own as well. Don’t tell anyone but she’s probably the most spoiled pet in the house. I’m familiar with their behaviors and have an understanding of the care needed for them. They are our family and I’m here to take care of your fur baby in a way that shows that.
“Keriann was AMAZING! She communicated throughout the entire process, took fantastic care of my Cats, and I felt at ease while I was aay from home. I will absolutely be using her again, and have referred her to others already!!”
“Our normal cat sitter had a family emergency and canceled our reservations. Meaghan was willing to help us on short notice. She did a fantastic job. We received daily updates and pictures. We had added a bunch of extra chores for her, one of the cats needing medication as such. She even kept up with vacuuming up the tiny bits of food that can tend to be thrown around when the cats eat. We came home to relaxed kitties and a clean house. We intended to contact her first if we ever have the need. Highly recommend!”
“Anja and Josh were amazing! They took great care of my cats, including my young kitten. They sent very thorough updates with cute pictures and I was able to relax and enjoy my trip without worrying about my fur babies.”
“Thank you grace for taking good care of our cats. We appreciate your reliability and making sure our care instructions were followed. They were safe and happy when we got home.”
“Renee is simply amazing! She did such a wonderful job at caring for our pets, and her daily updates made me feel so at ease that they were in the right hands. She was even kind enough to check on some other unexpected items. Thank you, Renee! We would love to keep in touch :)”
“Erika was wonderful with my little cat Loki. Loki needed six medications every night and she was able to give them in a gentle but effective manner. Loki even purred afterwards! I would highly recommend Erika to everyone for animal care.”
About: I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, and I always follow routines and instructions closely. I am currently at home for the summer from college and pet care fits easily into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day! I care for pets by following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning up after them. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for whether I’m in my home or my client’s home, and I always respect specific instructions provided by the owner.
“Cristal was very caring and took good care of my cats. This was my first time leaving them with a cat sitter so I was a bit anxious. The daily pictures she sent took away all my worries!”
About: I have over two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, providing compassionate, reliable care for pets of all temperaments and needs. I can assist with daily care such as walking, feeding, playtime, grooming, and cleaning, as well as advanced medical care including administering medications (pill, liquid, and injectable), feeding tube support, and subcutaneous fluids. I also previously volunteered at a humane society, where I helped socialize, feed, and care for adoptable pets. I’ve worked with everything from anxious dogs to “spicy” cats and always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a lifelong animal lover, I have been caring for pets since I was young and currently have four cats of my own—Zora, Mara, Fae, and Jinx. Caring for my own pets has strengthened my understanding of the patience, attention, and trust that pet parents value most. I would love the opportunity to provide that same level of care and compassion for your furry family members.
“I was very anxious about leaving my cat alone for the first time, but my meet and greet with Ally was so easy and comfortable I had no concerns. My cat even played with her and he doesn’t always like strangers. Would definitely book Ally again.”
About: I have owned many types of pets throughout my years. Everything from lizards to horses. I am a Certified Vet assistant and have worked in the animal health care field for years. Pet care naturally fits into my daily life because it’s already part of my routine. From morning walks to check-ins and evening wind-downs, caring for pets blends right in with my day. I’m used to planning around their needs and enjoy giving them attention, structure, and comfort along the way. It never feels like an extra task. It’s just part of my everyday life, and I make sure each pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether pets are in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions closely, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. I’m big on noticing the little things. Making sure they’re comfortable, safe, and happy throughout the day. I also keep pet parents updated so they can relax knowing their pet is in good hands.
About: I have had pet dogs and cats my whole life, and they have always been a cherished part of my family. I currently live in a non-pet-friendly apartment building, so Rover gives me the opportunity to care for pets while I can’t have one of my own. I work at a warehouse on second shift, so I am gone in the evenings and head back home around 1am. When housesitting, I’m able to provide care to your pets during the day until I leave for work at 3:30 pm i will do my best to adhere to your normal routine with your pets, and ensure that they are exercised, fed, and pottied before I leave for work. It is my goal to adhere to your pets’ normal routine as much as possible. When I am watching someone’s pets for the first time, I request details about their schedule, eating and play habits, special quirks, etc so that I am prepared to give them consistent and attentive care.
“First time using a sitter for my dog Roxi. Having Dawn help me with her care allowed me to enjoy a wonderful night with my family. I’ll be using her again when the need arises! She’s great ??. Thank you Dawn”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Big Rock
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: Hello! Kim and family here. We have over 30 years of animal care experience. From cats and dogs to lizards and horses. We feel comfortable with a variety of animals. With a background in law enforcement adjacent positions and a TS clearance. Clean background. Bachelors level education in behavioral science and criminal justice and security administration, as well as CPR certifications for humans and animals, and a vet assisting certification/experience! We can administer insulin and give oral medications. We also LOVE elderly animals. We are licensed bonded and insured. And have decades of the world under our feet. Animals are like people to us. We actually prefer them, and function with them better. Living on a five acre hobby farm for over a decade. They are literally our family now that the kids have aged into adults. It’s me and my husband Mike here. My family helps me operate a small pet care business out of Big Rock IL. House Sitting: We treat your home with respect and follow all of your rules. Water plants. Get mail. And stick to pet schedules. Please advise we do this full time. Each sitting is different as each animal and owner ask for different things. If full time care is needed it will be an extended stay rate of 125 for 8am through 8pm hours and 75 for the night. If we can’t come and go. We can’t make money. This is all I do for income and no one can survive off of only 75 or less for the day. Otherwise most sittings look like me making that my center of gravity through any schedule I have for the day. Usually no longer than four to six hours away from the home while out with drops in accrued in a single day. For Boarding: PLEASE READ: This is a home setting; we do not consistently tour our home. I believe the photos on here and reviews do us justice. We send pet parents updates with the surrounding view almost daily to every other day. Having people walk through the house consistently was just too much for out family and the farm animals here. So we do not do this anymore. In the future we may build a kennel/outbuildings addition, and will offer tours of that should the time ever come that we decide to do that. But again, WE DO NOT PROVIDE TOURS OF OUR PERSONAL HOME. There are also other considerations to consider that most residential people do not account for. 1. Liability coverage: my liability coverage covers your animals. Not you. 2. Animal anxiety: it’s a chain. The system I have for doing things allows for animals to be as calm and anxiety free as possible. If you’re on the property. The regulars don’t know you and anxiety fills the entire area. 3. Biosecurity: Don’t take this the wrong way. I don’t know where your shoes have been. 4. Private farm setting: exactly as it states. The lay out past my private acres long drive does not even allow access to my front door without going through two secured gates. It’s not easy access. 5. Safety: I live in the middle of nowhere, and do not need anyone to know the exact lay out of my home. You’re signing up for pet service. I am providing this service. Not giving people access to my home. Thank you for understanding. Please note this is a country setting. Someone is always here if I (Kim) am not. Sometimes photos have issues sending. But they always eventually go through. Service can be patchy because it’s the country. Text updates are reliably daily. I pride myself on building close relationships with my clients. I treat the animals I care for with top priority as my family does this full time and this is our entire income. Our reviews and the animals we care for speak for themselves. If you’re looking for someone to love and care for your animals with truth, trust, and transparency. That also has a family of well versed animal humans at her disposal as back up care approved through Rover. You are in the right place. Look forward to hearing from you. -Kimberly, Mike, and Family. Please note that prices will more than likely rise, since Rover has gone from taking 20 percent of each booking to now 30 percent from sitters. Prices must rise to enable us to continue providing service while combating this rise in inflation, not only on the platform, but in the world. Liability contract needed to continue service with the understanding that dogs bark, bite, scratch, and get into physical environmental factors. In a farm setting please make sure all of your animals are on needed monthly flea and tick preventative as well as heart guard. I have plenty of time for your pups and their specific needs/routines. We cater to every animal as if they were our own, and understand each one is special and different. We have a double fenced yard, with lots of open space indoors and out. Extra crates and or farm house furniture for your pets needs.
“Miriam was wonderful, absolutely wonderful with Katie, our terrier rescue. She let her sit on her lap while she worked. She had a raincoat, then a winter coat, on her when the weather got colder for her trips outdoors. She furnished these coats, I didn't bring any. A 3-page report card was given to me when I picked Katie up. It detailed her potty breaks and told cute little stories about their day together. I received numerous pics and videos that I thoroughly enjoyed. I met Terrell when I was leaving, and he seemed just as wonderful. I would give her 100 stars if I could.”
“Thank you soooo much for the last minute daycare! You have a beautiful land! My dog is so happy and tired out yay! You guys are awesome will deff be booking again! Highly recommended!!”
“Our dog had a wonderful day with Donna and her dog, which included plenty of outdoor play. Donna is patient, calm, and genuinely cares about dogs. We are happy that we found Donna and are looking forward to more visits in the near future.”
“So incredible! She is very attentive and responsive! We got video and photo updates throughout the day which made me know our dogs were well taken care of! Our dogs came home happy and tired! There is honestly nothing better than that. Cannot recommend Vanessa enough!!”
“Max had a wonderful time spending the day with Roger and his two dogs. Roger provided many pictures and a great summary of Max's time spent there. Highly recommend.”
“I absolutely love leaving my dog with Beyonka! My pup is always extremely happy when he goes to her place, and that gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s being well cared for. Every time I pick him up he smells delicious and looks so well-loved. You can tell she truly enjoys what she does. I 100% recommend her—she’s amazing!”
“This place is amazing!!!! I feel very fortunate that I found them!!! I contacted Jessica to watch my dog while I was going on vacation. I adopted my dog about 3 months ago. She was returned 2 times to the shelter (nobody ever took the time to properly train her..she's a bit hyper). We did a meet and greet and she gave me the idea to drop her off for a daycare session to let my girl know that mama would be back for her when we went away for vacation, because I have been worried that she thinks she's being given up again. When I got to Jessica's house, I could immediately sense that she was a kind soul and so good with dogs! I feel SO comfortable leaving Miss Buttercup here for a week with them!!!”
“Jackie was phenomenal. I reached out pretty last minute with a request that wasn’t exactly simple—she had to pick Ghost up from his training facility (not from me) and coordinate all of that seamlessly. On top of that, she even helped me sort out a small payment detail on Rover to make sure everything reflected correctly, which she absolutely didn’t have to do. She was super responsive, easy to work with, and just handled everything without friction. And the best part—Ghost lit up the second he saw her again after a few months, which tells you everything you need to know. Somehow she manages all of this while caring for multiple dogs at once and raising a young family, which honestly makes it even more impressive. Highly recommend giving Jackie a shot.”
“Stephanie is absolutely wonderful, and I felt completely safe leaving my precious pup with her for the weekend! We are so grateful to have found such a great Rover fit with her! Thank you Stephanie :)”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats every since I was 5 years old so I guess you could say I’m experienced!! I just received my graduate degree & now have plenty of time to provide exceptional care & love for your pups! 🐶 I’m available any day of the week for boarding, I work part time, have weekends off & have a very flexible schedule! I’m looking forward to providing exceptional care to your animal while you’re away! I have a fenced in yard and love to go for plenty of walks! Lots of space for your dog to explore in the house and backyard!
About: I have always loved every different kind of animal out there, but spent my childhood with mostly just cats. 15 years ago, I adopted my first puppy, a German Short-haired Pointer, at the age of 8 weeks. My ex-husband and I decided to take the "treatless training" approach which was a huge success! Crate training, leash training, obedience training were all a collaborative effort and turned out extremely well. 10 years later, we adopted a sweet rescue named Gizmo who was already 7 years old, but became part of the family immediately. They have both passed on now to doggy heaven, but I am always the first to offer to care for other family member's pets anytime I can :) I'm currently working part-time from my home in Blackberry Creek and always have time for some fur-ball company. My 2 girls, 7 and 10 years old, are with me part time and are also very helpful, gentle and patient with our pets and hopefully yours! I have a fenced back yard with plenty of room for your fur-baby to play and exercise! If it better suits you, I can always come to your home as well for potty and play time :) UPDATE 6/8/26 - Since starting my Rover journey in 2022, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so many amazing pets and their wonderful families. Along the way, our household has grown and changed in ways I never expected. In 2023, one of my regular Rover pups (actually a senior pup) became a permanent part of our family. Tigger’s owner had rescued him from a Chicago Animal Shelter just months before I began caring for him. As a 100 lb. Staffordshire Terrier, Great Dane, Bully, etc. mix, Tigger was a big boy with an even bigger heart. His owner dedicated to helping him become the best version of himself, especially since he wasn’t always comfortable around other dogs. With patience, training, and love, he blossomed into the sweetest, gentlest giant you could imagine. When his owner unexpectedly passed away, her husband reached out to ask if I would consider adopting Tigger. My answer was immediate: absolutely. I couldn’t bear the thought of him returning to a shelter. Bringing Tiggy into our family was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My girls and I were lucky enough to love, spoil, and cherish him for three wonderful years before he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. We miss him every day, but are so grateful for the time we had together. Since then, we’ve also welcomed two adorable brother cats into our home. They keep us smiling and full our days with plenty of fun and affection. While our family has grown, we’re excited to have some doggy energy back in the house through Rover! When your pup stays with us, they’ll be welcomed with open arms and treated like a part of the family. We understand how much your pets mean to you because we’ve experienced firsthand just how special that bond can be. Our promise is simple: we’ll care for your furry family member with the same love, attention, and respect that we give our own. I work from home full time, so am able to provide your pup with all of the attention they deserve. They are free to run around in the fenced-in backyard and play at their fullest extent! Every pet owner has a different perspective on how to care for their pets. Some require a special routine for dinnertime or bedtime, while others require basic care with lots of love. I will follow whatever instructions are given to me by the owner…and I promise not to judge 😊
“Yesenia was so great. I was in from out of town and I had a gap between when we needed to be out of the Airbnb and when the class I came for ended. I needed some place to take my dog for a few hours. She was conveniently near where I needed to be. She attentively asked about my dog’s needs (she’s dog-reactive and has anxiety) and provided a safe space for her to be. My dog felt so relaxed that she fell asleep while cuddling with her. Would highly recommend Yesenia’s services!”

Trustworthy and reliable and enjoy all the wonderful and beautiful personalities our pets have and embrace them all! Dogs allowed on bed for sleeping time to cuddle but not on furniture. Prefer dogs that can feel comfortable in a roomy kennel should need arise to leave my home for a couple hours as to keep all fur babies safe in their own space while unsupervised. Well mannered pups preferred, Photos and videos provided during days activities. Attentive and loving, I’ll treat your pet like my own!

About: We have collective pet parent experience of over 40 years and have loved and cared for cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs and even beared dragons. Personally, I previously worked at PetCo in addition to volunteering with PAWS Chicago. In both roles I received extensive training in caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. Currently, I work from home full time with a ton of flexibility and plenty of time to devote to additional fur babies. I work from home full time Monday thru Friday and have complete flexibility. Meaning I have time and energy for plenty of walks, playing in the park, or even just lounging in the yard. I own my home and have plenty of space to care for animals. As the mother to a toddler, our home has already been child proofed (cabinets locked, large furniture anchored, Simplisafe home security, etc.) Importantly, our yard is fenced in completely with vinyl fencing that is only a couple years old (but tried and true).
About: Love to have a furry companion on my walks and give them some time outside, I’ve had dogs my whole life big and small and always enjoy walking them. Me and my husband are working part time, and we love dogs, so we have plenty of free days to spend and take nice walks with your pup! Our house has a fenced in yard and we also have a few gates so the dogs can’t get to any places they shouldn’t be.
About: Available to serve your best friend with a nightly walk, drop-in or doggie day care services! My husband and I absolutely love dogs and have been around them our whole life. We currently have one dog (our baby!) and always want to ensure that he receives the best care when we are out of town or at work - we want to be sure the same is done for your fur children! We know pets are family and you can trust that your babies will be cared for with great love, compassion, and safety. We are our family and friends' right hand when it comes to pet-sitting- we have experience with dogs of all sizes and cats. We are available most weekends and I am off a few days during the week. We can also provide drop in services/walks on weekends and after 5p on weekdays. We are happy to customize your pet's experience in your home, depending on your pet's needs. If your pet is staying with us, we’ll make sure they are comfortable and safe! Our home offers a great space for furry friends! We allow our fur friends on furniture & love to go outside. We will follow your routine to ensure we reinforce positive habits.

“Kimberly was amazing with our crazy dog! We just moved and he was a bit anxious, but he loved her! She even offered to sew up one of the things he tore up in his kennel! She is so sweet and kept me informed on how my crazy little boy was doing while I was at work! I will definitely book her again!”
About: I have worked in kennel for 2 years. Currently, I work at a vet clinic. I have experience with dogs and cats. I can do drop ins, dog walking, spending overnights with the pets at owners home. I work full time and I am up bright an early. I can let you dogs out before and after work on weekdays. On weekend I can do drop ins, daycare and boarding at the owners house. I have reliable transportation. I will not have pets at my apartment due to size. I'd rather go to the owner's home for an easier transition for the dog/cat.

I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for whether I’m in my home or my client’s home, and I always respect specific instructions provided by the owner.
“Carol was great. On time every day and gave great updates. It was super hot too and she made sure my dogs got outside to do their business and explore. I highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life; big medium small. I have always been able to create connections with furry friends by giving them lots of love and attention. I’m very attentive when it comes to taking care of senior dogs and their needs. As well as being just as playful as puppies are. I’m currently on summer break before I go to college to become a pediatrician. This being said, my schedule is very available for a long while! For my dog at home, I treat her like family! I walk her daily, feed her twice a day, and give her snuggles and lots of love. I take her outside in the backyard about every hour in the fenced in backyard and she’ll run around and go nuts chasing her ball, and running after rabbits.
“Cora has been the best dog walker/caretaker we have ever worked with. She is a clear and consistent in her communication, and will truly care about the well being of your pet. We don’t know where we would be without Cora being a part of the family 😊”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care, patience, and attention I give every pet. I’ve been around dogs and helping care for them since I was 10, which has given me experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I also currently have a one-year-old puppy of my own, so I’m very familiar with energetic dogs, maintaining routines, reinforcing good behavior, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I understand how important consistency and trust are when caring for someone’s pet, and I always make sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether they’re playful and active or prefer a calmer environment. Pet parents can expect reliable communication, regular updates, and lots of photos for peace of mind. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I’m currently in grad school and work for a local school district, which means I have summers off and additional flexibility throughout the year. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends, and I do my best to accommodate different routines and last-minute needs when possible. Because I have a one-year-old puppy of my own, I’m already used to maintaining consistent feeding, potty, exercise, and play schedules, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve while their owners are away. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they can feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay on their normal schedule with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m respectful of each home and always keep pet areas clean, secure, and safe. Because I have a one-year-old puppy of my own, I’m very mindful about supervision, consistency, and creating a positive environment for animals. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: Hi! My wife and I love animals. We currently offer drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting (mainly on weekends). We are very compassionate about animals and would love to keep your pet company while you are away. Both of us work mostly remotely, so we have a flexible schedule and can adjust to your pet's needs. We personally own 3 lovely beagles, so there is no such thing as too many pets. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions or for a meet and greet! We would love to check-in on your pet for either a brief or extended stay, whatever you have going on. Willing to accept pets with any medical condition, and willing to administer any prescriptions they might need. All that we ask is that you let us know about any behaviors (i.e. dog-reactive, loud noises, not good with children etc.) so we can ensure a safe environment for your pet. Thanks for considering us! I work from home and my wife works remotely several days a week, so we both have a very flexible schedule and can adjust to the needs of each individual pet we care for. We ensure that we fully understand the daily routines and living arrangements of each pet so we can keep their routines the same while the owner is away and ensure a safe environment.
“Renee is a great walker, she is always on time and never missed a day. Shiloh was a very happy dog when she was around. She took care of him like her own and is very personable and has a great personality. I have never had a walker like her. She is truly incredible.”
“Shelly is awesome! She is considerate, kind and my dog loves her. He looks forward to her coming for his walk. Shelly works with you if you need to make adjusts. I would highly recommend her. You won’t be disappointed”

“Susan was absolutely amazing with Paganini! 🐾 She has a big backyard where he got to run and play all day, and she took him on long, happy walks too. Throughout the day, she sent me tons of adorable photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Paganini came home happy, calm, and completely well-rested—a true sign he was loved and well cared for. She was also incredibly kind, communicative, and accommodating with our schedule, especially knowing we have a baby at home. On top of that, she made sure Paganini got his daily medication without any issues, which was such a relief. I honestly can’t recommend Susan enough—she treated Paganini like one of her own, and we feel so lucky to have found her!”

She is truly wonderful.”

About: Hello! We absolutely love all dogs. We have a beautiful 4 year old Weimaraner who we came into our life as a pup. We also have had two prior to her. We are comfortable with all aged dogs from the feisty puppies to the more quiet seniors. We have lots of experience with young puppies, senior dogs who need medication (oral pills or otherwise), and shy or energetic dogs. Linda even worked as a Vet Tech in high school and was a dog walker in college. We both are retired and love to sit outside with our dog and go for walks. As a visitor to our home, we are open to whatever method you employ for your dog’s safety. We have experience with crate training and are happy to continue those practices if you wish. Otherwise, your dog is free to roam our fenced yard and home. We are both retired, so have lots of time for your pup. Our dog always gets to go out whenever she wants. So will yours. We usually walk our dog in the morning afternoon and evening. If your dog is up to that, we will have her join us. We have a fenced in yard for the dogs to enjoy whenever they want. Our house is very dog friendly. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture. We do not leave any food out and have a dog proof garbage can too.
“Pat is awesome! She sent me daily pictures and updates of Mason, our 75lb Shepherd mix, and was always very responsive. She has a big fenced yard that I know Mason really enjoyed. She clearly loves dogs. We will definitely use Pat’s services again in the future!”
“Brian and his family were amazing! We did a meet and greet beforehand and I knew from there my dog would be in the best hands. They would send me pictures daily and would reply to me right away! Communication was great throughout the whole stay. Would definitely be using again. Thank you guys”
“Selena did an amazing job and made the whole experience feel effortless. My pup had the best time ever and even better was Selena was incredible about updating me with pictures and videos throughout it all. Selena and her pups were great in welcoming my boy into their home, I could tell my dog was bummed when his stay ended. I would definitely rebook and encourage anyone looking for someone they can trust to take of their pets to look no further”
“Ashley was an amazing host, I was nervous at first because I hardly ever leave rono for more than a day or two, but that quickly went away. As soon as Ashley introduced herself to rono I knew I had nothing to worry about. She also sent photos and videos everyday to ensure he was having a pleasant stay. I would not hesitate on booking again.”
“This was the first time we've left our dogs with someone and we're definitely glad it was with Shannon. They were very well taken care and happy when we picked them up. Shannon stayed in daily contact and sent photos and videos of our fur babies enjoying their time with her. We highly recommend Shannon and plan on rebooking when we take our next vacation.”
“I’ve had a lot of Rover experiences, and Molly truly raised the bar for how good it can be. She took incredible care of my pup and made him feel completely at home. I honestly wish I could have him stay with her all the time. Highly recommend.”
“Scout has only been boarded with one family in the last 4 years. When they cancelled last minute Valerie jumped in with short notice and took Scout in for the weekend. She was great at communicating and sending pictures. I will absolutely use her again!”
“Marko and his beautiful family were beyond amazing with my boxer, Lola. From the moment I met them, I could feel how warm, loving, and welcoming they were — including their two precious little girls. Lola was treated like a true part of their family. When it was time to pick her up, one of the girls was crying because she didn’t want Lola to leave — and honestly, that moment made me both emotional and incredibly happy. It told me everything I needed to know about how loved and cared for Lola was during her stay. Since bringing her home last night, Lola has been sleeping nonstop — a sure sign her last four days were filled with love, attention, play, and pure family time. That is exactly what I wanted for my precious girl. Thank you, Marko, for taking such wonderful care of my fur baby. We will absolutely be back. 🐾❤️ Monica with family”
