This was my first time leaving my 10 year old Charlie with someone besides my parents. The second I met Bridget for our meet and greet I knew it was a perfect fit. Charlie stayed with her for 4 nights. She sent me updates and pictures immediately, and I knew he was in wonderful care! She treated him like one of her own and he had a great time meeting his new friends. I will absolutely book her for my future trips as well as daycare when he needs some extra playtime. I can’t thank her enough for easing my anxiety and taking the best care of my dog. Not having to worry about your animals when you are away is priceless.

I’ve used so many Rovers and she is absolutely fantastic. Takes care of my pup as if she were my own, and has a way better back yard for them to run around in. Great about photo and video updates, too. Highly recommend.

She kept me updated on his progress and even if something changes she was sure to let me know right a way. My fur baby loves her , she will always be his number one pick! We will definitely be back!

Very happy! Jennifer and her family took excellent care of our 3 dogs for 6 days! They appeared happy and healthy when we picked them up and we're worn out from all their playtime. Our girls made some new friends while there which was also great for their socializing! We felt safe and comfortable leaving them in her care and would definitely do it again. A very great experience all around! Thank you so much, Jennifer!!

It was our very first time using this service and we were a bit nervous. Jeff was available even on the short notice. From the first time we met Jeff we felt good. He is an experienced sitter. Cats felt comfortable around him. Jeff was very responsible. He ensured we received photos from each visit. Cats looked good and relaxed. Definitely will be calling him again in the future.

I would definitely trust Samantha with my pets. She was even nice enough to leave additional lights on knowing we were going to come home late.

About: I have had animals since I was a kid. We fostered kittens, dogs, and I have owned dogs and cats my whole life. My sister works at an animal shelter as well and has taught me many things to keep animals safe. I currently work full time so I typically am free at lunch, after work, and all weekends! I am flexible as well in the mornings. I am aware of all doors and locks. I make sure to ask specific questions regarding the needs of pets and what the owner needs such as check ins with photos, scooping cat litter, adjusting air, replenishing food and water, etc.

About: Hello! I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years — including rescues, seniors, and pups with lots of energy! I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with feeding routines, meds, and special care needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I promise to keep you updated with cute pictures and messages throughout their stay. Your fur baby’s comfort and safety come first! 🐕✨ I am currently working part time. Which is Tues-Sat 4pm-11pm tho so I’m anytime free before then. & I am off every Sunday and Monday I rent a home with a fenced in backyard. I do currently have 2 dogs. (Chihuahua mixes and a heeler mix.) they are crate trained so if you’re more comfortable with them staying separated from your baby(ies) that is absolutely no problem, depending on the duration of the stay.

About: I have a deep love for animals and have been caring for them since I was around 10. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, a green cheeked conure, and 12 chickens, so I’m familiar with many different animals. I’ve also interacted with and owned several breeds of dogs. I work full-time, but would love to help out with dog walking and at-home boarding occasionally. My dogs are both very friendly and would love to have someone to play with every once in a while. I unfortunately do not have a fence, but I have 10 acres for your animals to run on. We additionally do not have children in the house, so no worries for clumsy or bigger dogs.

About: Taking care of your animal will be my number one priority. I love animals, I will be more than attentive to their needs and accommodate anything you would like. I’m available any time you need me and I will take in any animal, big, small, furry, hairless, you name it! I love them all. I’ve had animals my whole life so I know how to take care of dogs, I’ve had cats now for 5 years and kittens and it’s a handful but it has taught me so many things needed to be a perfect sitter! I love getting pets toys, and fancy food sometimes to spoil them so expect that (if it’s fone with the owner) of course. I can’t wait to meet you and your lovely pet!

About: Hi! My name is Ruthie, and I’ve been around dogs my whole life (& have adopted my best friend of four years!) From training puppies to caring for senior dogs, I have experience with all stages of a pup’s life. I’ve also pet-sat for family dogs on and off for about two years and have had my own dogs for 8 years, so I understand how important it is to find someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry family members. I’m patient, attentive, and love spending time with dogs—whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them the attention they deserve. I also have experience with basic training and can reinforce commands if needed. Every dog has their own personality, and I take the time to ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I am currently taking online summer classes with a part time job. Pet care naturally fits into my schedule and I am happy to be flexible for your scheduling needs! I provide pet care through check-in visits and dog walking. I prioritize each pet’s routine and comfort, ensuring they feel safe and well cared for while their owner is away. Please let me know any important details about your dog or anything I should prepare in advance to help them feel as comfortable as possible.

About: Lifelong animal lover experienced in river walks, companion feedings, soothing chest rubs, treat distribution, and earning a sly cats trust. I will make sure your pets are happy, SAFE, and completely spoiled while you’re away! After a recent career shift- a friend suggested I try Rover to generate a bit of income. Bonus: an opportunity to do something I LOVE! I’m just getting started (here), but I look forward to meeting your fur family. I closely monitor outdoor time to ensure the pet is secure in the yard. I do NOT have a fence (all neighbors do). I will either clip them to the ground lead (125 lb hold), or long leash them in hand (I prefer your dog wear a harness while in my care). For their safety and security, your pet will NOT be outside without supervision. When out walking I will remain aware and assess surroundings to prepare for any triggers the dog may have and offer redirection. I will closely follow your schedule and preferences to make transition of care easier.

About: I love all pets! I have one dog, but am familiar taking care of types of animals. Cats, fish, chinchillas, turtles, and more! Your best friend will become my best friend too. I have grown up taking care of pets, and have always had dogs. My pup is my best friend and we love having company. We can go for walks and swimming in a nearby lake! Does your best friend love treats?! I know I do! I make the best homemade dog treats (well, I know my pup loves them) But who wouldn't love peanut butter and sweet potatoes?! I promise your pet will love hanging out at with me, and going on adventures! Let me know what you need for your pup. I'm happy to help! I am currently working part time so I have a lot of free time to take care of your pet! We can go for walks in your neighborhood or mine. We can play at a dog park or local swimming hole. I'm always down for adventures! I am willing to travel, and I'm happy housing your pet at my place or yours. I am surrounded by the natural beauty of lakes and forests. Does your companion like nature hikes?

About: I was always the go to person for pet sitting in my family. Growing up, we always had at least one dog in the house. And I was fortunate enough to have had one for 16 years. Her name was Bear. She was the best family dog anyone could ask for and I miss her very much. She is the reason I love taking care of animals so much. Recently, I have become very fond of cats and live with 2 of them. They have stolen my heart and take care of them every day. I also have two reptiles which are my whole world. No matter what animal, I would love to take care of them. I’m the sitter for you! I am in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is very flexible right now. I am very open and honest so I’m very willing to for the schedule that’s best for you and your pet! I am not offering services in my home. As much as I would love to, I rent and cannot have a lot of animals staying with me. I’m sorry for the inconvenience!

About: I have had dogs all my life & have taken care of friends & family’s pets. I tend to adopt “problem” dogs that other people can’t handle. I love a challenge & gaining the trust of the dog. I used to frequent the Dominican Republic to feed & give flea baths to the neglected street dogs out there. I’m currently working from home & was a bartender for the last 20 yrs but now looking for a new career with animals because they are my true passion. I just moved to the Gardner, Illinois for a bigger yard & a 6ft privacy fence to expand my dog sitting business. I also have a small pool for the dogs. I have lots of gates up throughout the house & different rooms I can put dogs in if any need to separated. I also have large crates I can use.

About: My husband and I have a lot of experience caring for cats, dogs, and birds. I've been house sitting /animal sitting for around 7 years on the side. I absolutely love animals, and I've had experience caring for a large variety of them. I've watched 4 large dogs at a time, all of whom needed special medication and attention. I care for every animal like they're my own, and just absolutely love being around dogs. I have a spacious home and I am very attentive. I live in a safe neighborhood, and I am by my phone 24/7 so can be in contact with you at any time. I work remotely and sometimes have to go in to the office. My husband is almost always home, and we always make sure someone is at home to be with the animals. Care is always personalized to the dogs needs. We go for regular walks, follow any dietary restrictions, and always check with the pet-parent if there's anything else needed.

About: I love all pets! I have one dog, but am familiar taking care of types of animals. Cats, fish, chinchillas, turtles, and more! Your best friend will become my best friend too. I have grown up taking care of pets, and have always had dogs. My pup is my best friend and we love having company. We can go for walks and swimming in a nearby lake! Does your best friend love treats?! I know I do! I make the best homemade dog treats (well, I know my pup loves them) But who wouldn't love peanut butter and sweet potatoes?! I promise your pet will love hanging out at with me, and going on adventures! Let me know what you need for your pup. I'm happy to help! I am currently working part time so I have a lot of free time to take care of your pet! We can go for walks in your neighborhood or mine. We can play at a dog park or local swimming hole. I'm always down for adventures! I am willing to travel, and I'm happy housing your pet at my place or yours. I am surrounded by the natural beauty of lakes and forests. Does your companion like nature hikes?

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals as long as I can remember! My parents adopted our first dog when I was only 4 years old. Tala was a Siberian husky that I took care of daily from a very young age. Throughout my childhood I grew up with medium/larger dogs such as German shepherds, huskies, pitbulls, and a Great Dane. My love for animals didn’t stop there! As a kid I regularly helped a family friend on her farm take care of wild and farm animals that she rehabbed such as bunnies, raccoons, squirrels, chickens, horses, cows, goats, etc. Now that I live on my own with my husband, we own 2 silly orange cats (4yo) and 2 dogs. Our 2 beagles, Starla(6yo) and Ellie (4yo), are ‘retired research hero’s’, meaning they were lab test animals for human medical research, they even have tattoos inside their right ears! They do great meeting new animals. But due to their life in the lab and awkward lack of learning other dogs body natural language, they require a meet and greet with any pets that plan on staying in our home just to ensure all animals clearly feel comfortable with each other. They are beyond friendly dogs that don’t know what a ‘stranger’ is and will accept love from anyone. Starla has seizures, and because of this I have plenty of experience with handling her during an episode. I would more than willing to board/take care of another pet who suffers from medical conditions! I personally know how nerve racking it is to leave our little fur babies life in the hands of another person that we hardly know. Ellie has a poultry allergy and we’ve become pretty good at checking the labels before feeding anything to her. It was quite surprising to see just how many pet items have poultry in them! I also suffer from a nut allergy, so I also know beyond animals just how dangerous it can be. You can feel more than safe trusting me with your fur babies allergies! I take all forms of special conditions very seriously. I’m currently a college student at ONU, but live in my own home that I own off campus. I do not work at this time and have very few classes that are physically on campus. I love meeting new people and animals especially. I have a fenced in yard where my beagles love to run around. While it is safely fence in, my animals are never left unattended as my animals safety is always a priority. During nice weather I love to take my dogs on walks out at Perry Farms or the Kankakee State Park. These are the places I choose for the safest and cleanest walking paths to keep my pups safe. Before walks I always check the pavement to ensure safe temperature for the little paws. I also spray my pups with Wondercides natural flea & tick repellent to further ensure safety for their health when going on walks. My house is only 1 level. The only stairs your pet would be required to climb are the ones going in and out of the house. While I do have a basement, only the cats are allowed down there. I am still new to the pet sitting world, but I am so excited!

About: Hi! My name is Kacey, and I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I’ve worked with energetic puppies, senior dogs, shy dogs, and dogs that need a little extra patience and attention. As a caregiver in my professional life, I’m dependable, responsible, and understand the importance of providing safe, compassionate care. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or just someone to stick to their routine while you’re away, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for and treated like family. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll always keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾 I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. My daily routine allows for regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. When I am away from home, a family member is always there, so pets are never left alone for long periods of time. In my home, pets are treated like family and are given plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. While my yard is not fenced, I have leads available and always prioritize safety during outdoor time. I can follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and potty breaks to help them feel comfortable and at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routine and preferences to keep things as consistent and stress-free as possible. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: Hi! I’m Victoria. I grew up surrounded by cats, and 6 years ago my husband and I adopted Harley, our sweet little dog who completely stole our hearts. I know how important it is to feel confident and comfortable when someone else is caring for your fur baby. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give Harley. Whether your pet prefers playtime, cuddles, slow sniff-walks, or just gentle company, I’m here to match their needs and routine. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and happy at all times. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide regular walks, check-ins, playtime, and constant attention whenever needed. I prioritize safety and comfort in every home I care for. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep environments clean and secure, and provide constant supervision during walks and visits.

About: Taking care of your animal will be my number one priority. I love animals, I will be more than attentive to their needs and accommodate anything you would like. I’m available any time you need me and I will take in any animal, big, small, furry, hairless, you name it! I love them all. I’ve had animals my whole life so I know how to take care of dogs, I’ve had cats now for 5 years and kittens and it’s a handful but it has taught me so many things needed to be a perfect sitter! I love getting pets toys, and fancy food sometimes to spoil them so expect that (if it’s fone with the owner) of course. I can’t wait to meet you and your lovely pet!

About: Hi! My name is Ruthie, and I’ve been around dogs my whole life (& have adopted my best friend of four years!) From training puppies to caring for senior dogs, I have experience with all stages of a pup’s life. I’ve also pet-sat for family dogs on and off for about two years and have had my own dogs for 8 years, so I understand how important it is to find someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry family members. I’m patient, attentive, and love spending time with dogs—whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them the attention they deserve. I also have experience with basic training and can reinforce commands if needed. Every dog has their own personality, and I take the time to ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I am currently taking online summer classes with a part time job. Pet care naturally fits into my schedule and I am happy to be flexible for your scheduling needs! I provide pet care through check-in visits and dog walking. I prioritize each pet’s routine and comfort, ensuring they feel safe and well cared for while their owner is away. Please let me know any important details about your dog or anything I should prepare in advance to help them feel as comfortable as possible.

About: I have been around and raised animals of all kinds from the start of my life. I love animals! I currently have 4 dogs, a 20lb doxie mix, a pit mix, mountain curr, and great pyrenees. I am comfortable with all breeds and size of dogs. I also have a spoiled inside cat, and an 11 year old barn cat that is spoiled for being outside, but he hates being inside, so he stays where he is happy. Growing up my family raised Rottweilers that the parents were police dog trained, so I learned at a young age how to train dogs. I have taken care of all kinds of animals from lizards to birds to horses and cows and of course dogs and cats and about everything in between. I have a pretty flexible schedule. Mostly during the week, but if you become a regular, I could fit in weekens too if needed. Just ask me. As of now, I am only going to do dog walking and drop in for dog or cat. My yard isn't fenced so I won't have day care until I get things set up better. I will walk your dog with whatever collar or harness you have for them and I can bring my own leashes or use yours. I'll make sure to not have them on concrete or asphalt too much if it is hot so their paws don't get hurt.

About: Lifelong animal lover experienced in river walks, companion feedings, soothing chest rubs, treat distribution, and earning a sly cats trust. I will make sure your pets are happy, SAFE, and completely spoiled while you’re away! After a recent career shift- a friend suggested I try Rover to generate a bit of income. Bonus: an opportunity to do something I LOVE! I’m just getting started (here), but I look forward to meeting your fur family. I closely monitor outdoor time to ensure the pet is secure in the yard. I do NOT have a fence (all neighbors do). I will either clip them to the ground lead (125 lb hold), or long leash them in hand (I prefer your dog wear a harness while in my care). For their safety and security, your pet will NOT be outside without supervision. When out walking I will remain aware and assess surroundings to prepare for any triggers the dog may have and offer redirection. I will closely follow your schedule and preferences to make transition of care easier.

About: Hello! My name is Lexi, and I have a lot of experience dealing with dogs. For about 7 years now, family and friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs. I have worked at an animal hospital as a kennel technician as well as been a dog bather. I have learned so much from those jobs and gained a lot of knowledge on how to care for them. Working at those jobs has also helped me learn about dog behaviors and how to properly deal with them. If you choose me to be your dog walker/sitter, I can promise your baby will be in great hands! I currently have a full time job, so I will set up my calendar around that to show my availability! I will try my best to work around my schedule for my clients At my client’s homes I always make sure the dog(s) I am caring for are comfortable and happy. I am great at following directions carefully when it comes to instructions that pet parents leave for me, since that was my main responsibility at my previous job as a kennel technician. I also make time to cuddle, play with, and exercise your digs so they are as happy as can be!

My husband and I work opposite shifts so someone will almost always be home, allowing your pup to have many potty and play sessions throughout the day. I look forward to speaking with you and meeting your furbaby!

Over the years, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and ages. From energetic puppies who need structured activity to senior dogs who thrive on a calm, predictable pace, I understand how important it is to adapt to each dog’s individual needs. What truly sets me apart is the balance I bring between structure and affection. Dogs feel most secure when their routine stays consistent, so I make it a priority to maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible. My daily routine typically includes on-time feedings, fresh water refresh, bathroom breaks, and exercise tailored to your dog’s energy level. Whether that means long walks, active play sessions, enrichment activities, or simply relaxed companionship, I adjust based on what your dog needs that day. Beyond the basics, I focus on mental stimulation and emotional well-being. I reinforce positive behaviors, engage in interactive play, and ensure your dog has both active time and calm downtime. I work overnight shifts during the week, and I dedicate my weekends fully to pet care. This allows me to provide focused, unrushed attention from Friday through Sunday. I intentionally keep my weekend availability open for pet sitting so I can give each pet consistent, quality care without overbooking. Weekend care includes structured routines with feedings, walks, playtime, enrichment, and calm companionship tailored to your pet’s needs. I make sure their schedule stays consistent and stress-free while you’re away. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep everything as normal and stress-free as possible. Pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I prioritize maintaining their routine, respecting their space, and creating a calm, consistent presence while you’re away.

About: Growing up I cared for my two dogs, an Australian cattle dog mix and a German shepherd. We loved them both to the ripe old ages of 16 and 12 respectively. In high school I spent my free time at the local animal shelter volunteering to walk and play with the various dog breeds. My entire life I have loved caring for all types of animals, so this is an amazing opportunity for me to meet even more. I am currently a college student attending school 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). All other days of the week I am free to be booked! My yard is big, but unfenced so I will have to have your dog on a leash for our walks and playtime. I do own a crate and can use it if necessary, but all the specific care instructions can be discussed individually.

This was my first time leaving my 10 year old Charlie with someone besides my parents. The second I met Bridget for our meet and greet I knew it was a perfect fit. Charlie stayed with her for 4 nights. She sent me updates and pictures immediately, and I knew he was in wonderful care! She treated him like one of her own and he had a great time meeting his new friends. I will absolutely book her for my future trips as well as daycare when he needs some extra playtime. I can’t thank her enough for easing my anxiety and taking the best care of my dog. Not having to worry about your animals when you are away is priceless.

Mariah was amazing! Panda loves her so much to the point he cried on the way home. She was very nice, patient with him and sent lots of pictures and videos. She kept me updated on his progress and even if something changes she was sure to let me know right a way. My fur baby loves her , she will always be his number one pick! We will definitely be back!

Very happy! Jennifer and her family took excellent care of our 3 dogs for 6 days! They appeared happy and healthy when we picked them up and we're worn out from all their playtime. Our girls made some new friends while there which was also great for their socializing! We felt safe and comfortable leaving them in her care and would definitely do it again. A very great experience all around! Thank you so much, Jennifer!!

I will definitely rebook Robyn in the future and felt very comfortable with my baby boy in her care! She sent updates and pictures and videos any time I asked and always responded to all my messages pretty instantly. Biggie gave her a giant hug and kiss goodbye when I picked him up. Thank you, Robyn! 🐾🖤

About: Hi! I’m Victoria. I grew up surrounded by cats, and 6 years ago my husband and I adopted Harley, our sweet little dog who completely stole our hearts. I know how important it is to feel confident and comfortable when someone else is caring for your fur baby. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give Harley. Whether your pet prefers playtime, cuddles, slow sniff-walks, or just gentle company, I’m here to match their needs and routine. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and happy at all times. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide regular walks, check-ins, playtime, and constant attention whenever needed. I prioritize safety and comfort in every home I care for. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep environments clean and secure, and provide constant supervision during walks and visits.
