“This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.”
“Jesus was great with my poodle, he sent pictures or video of him daily. Jesus is caring and in tune to what your pet needs. He had so many toys for the dogs to play with. Jesus has a wonderful personality, and my dogs seem to love him. When I picked up my poodle Jesus had given him a bath, his bed was washed, and he was happy. I could not have picked a better person to keep my poodle. Jesus is the best of the best and my poodle enjoyed his time with Jesus and his family!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have raised several from young puppies into adulthood. I currently care for my three dogs—Nala, Sage, and Willow—and have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic puppy care, and giving each dog the patience and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your pet like they’re one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I receive my work schedule monthly, so I keep my availability up to date and am happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit both of our schedules. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, and provide a loving, dependable environment while you’re away.

“Cassidy took such amazing care of our cat Blue while we were away for an extended period of time. He is normally hesitant and shy with strangers, but it was clear that he warmed up to her right away. She sent thoughtful updates and the best photos, and it was such a relief that I never had to worry once about how Blue was doing while we were gone. I would absolutely recommend her to any of my friends/family! ???”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I’m currently working from home an older kids are in college just have a toddler at home so lucky to have free time and able to enjoy it with your furry love one.I had lost my furry baby after 15 years to cancer it was the worst feeling to go thru and I can't go thru that again but I do love dogs so I do this to fill in that little spot I'm missing 🥰 here in my home your furry one is going to get treated like family not only I'm on hands on my grandma love helping out as well as my fiance. I have huge back yard with a gated fence which is use for walks and playtime.Most of the time your furry one will be with me in our family area but if needed to be crate I can assist with that as well on the day off drop I will show around the house where your furry one can go. After each visit I do disinfect before and after visit.Since working Rover I was left with 2 dogs and then 2 owner ask if I can keep their or found a home.I found homes for the 3 dogs and kept the last one due to having really bad anxiety she needs lots of love and training.Out of the 4 dogs 2 of them I still give updated the other 2 were just left but the new owner send me updates so I do this really out of my heart.I try my best to make you an your furry one comfortable thru out their stay.
“Very pleasant and flexible. They took my pup on walks and sent pictures. The children seemed to love my dog as well. There may be other dogs on property at the same time in case that's an issue for your dog.”
“Janette was really great with my dog who suffers from separation anxiety. She was always very patient and kind and I always felt like she truly cares. Even though my dogs nerves caused him to have accidents, Janette took it in stride and did her best to make him comfortable. She even introduced my dog to her cats, which he hasn't been around, and noted that he did extremely well around his new friends. I have no doubt that with more time, my dog will grow to love Jannette and will definitely use her again.”

“William was an excellent sitter for Duke, he was very knowledgeable of bonding methods using brushing , walking, and even trimmed some of his nails. William was attentive to Duke and treated him like he was his own. I appreciate having a someone that made me feel comfortable leaving my big baby Duke with. He is very professional and responsive. Thank you William for the awesome experience. Will definitely rebook”
“I am grateful to have found Iman. I feel good knowing my Gigi is in good hands. I was worried about finding quality care that could accommodate my late work schedule. I’ve never left my furbaby with anyone outside of my immediate family, it was scary. I had looked at Rover previously but never used their services, now I am so glad I did. Rover helped me find the best care for Gigi and Iman has been great accommodating my late work schedule. Iman set my heart and mind at ease and I am so thankful for the love & care she provides my fur-baby Gigi and I are both grateful for Iman ❤️”
“I would recommend Kassia to anyone looking for a reliable, professional dog sitter. She was communicative, met with us a couple of days before the actual sit, and accommodated our early 6 a.m. drop-off that we needed (which happened to be on Daylight Savings as well). Moreover, our dog was excited when we dropped him off (always a good sign to us), and was tired when we got home.”

About: I grew up in a multi pet home and learned to walk, train and groom pets from a young age. I cared for the last family dog through her medically tedious senior years. Through college I pet sat and walked for friends and family. For 2 years I worked for a veterinary clinic, although my job was marketing I often was asked to assist with holding and monitoring patients. When I became a pet owner I adopted puppies raising them through potty and crate training. I am proud to say they continue to be healthy and happy. Now we foster and pet sit dogs of all ages and sizes because of the dog friendly environment we’ve created at home. My success in pet lies with gaining the pets trust. I approach them slowly and go at their pace, sitting and waiting on the ground if necessary. I am pet sitting and walking full time so I have plenty of time to dedicate to my clients! Dogs are typically walked and out between 7am and 9pm. I have a fully fenced yard with ample room for running and playing. There are four resident dogs who are friendly and used to guests. We can crate your pup or have them sleep in a bed or in bed with me. Water is available at all times through a 2 gallon water dispenser.
About: Taking care of animals when explaining what I do is a understatement. I’ve had animals all my life, whether feeding, caring, etc… I’m the one to do it. I simply just have a genuine passion for pets. I’d have one of my own but I’m in school. From bathing, grooming, walking… I literally do it all. So let me get to know your pet. I currently work a Part-Time job so I definitely have freedom and time to care for your pet. My days are a little wonky, but I communicate so that won’t be a problem. In my home, a dog is not a animal. It might as well be a human. I treat ANY pet with extreme care, putting them first before my own self. In a client’s home, it’s the same way, obviously with owners guidelines in mind… I’d make sure the dog is in great hands and care.
About: I offer loving care for all the dogs we sit. My little ones enjoy playing and treating each dog like their own. My flexible schedule allows us to care for your dogs, taking them on walks, playing, and learning their unique traits. If you're looking for dog care, I’m just a few clicks away. Thank you for trusting us to ensure your pets are well taken care of. I appreciate your confidence in our service. Thank you again. With a flexible work-from-home schedule, I can accommodate pick-up and drop-off around my children's school schedules. I have ample time to care for your fur babies with love and attention. I have a fenced backyard for your dog to enjoy and one friendly dog to keep your fur babies company. If needed I can easily separate or crate them.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life and love walking them. I will take care of your dogs as if they were my own. I have reliable transportation in case of emergency as well. I am currently self employed from home and have all the time in the world to watch and walk your dog. I rarely go on vacation except in late September. I have a fenced-in yard with two dogs(louann and hank) both get along great with others. I can crate or walk your dog. I also have 2 cats but they stay out of the way.
About: I love animals, Cats and Dogs equally. They are so intelligent and are like children. Your pet will not be neglected. Home made food, if needed, long walks and tender affection is what you can expect for your pet in my care. I love pets and they love me! Each animal is unique, I get to know your pet and give it the attention that is needed to keep them happy. I can help on short notice, but prefer at least 24 hours. Much affection and exercise along with careful care in making sure your furry friend is cared for in the manner you prefer. I'm available Mon-Sun Full days. All service is done in the service of your own home. Lots of affection attention and trust, not all pet are the same, much depends on the individual pets needs. I would do my best to provide the most loving and caring attention your pet needs. Long walks, dog parks if available, ball fetch, etc.
About: I love to spend time with them , I like to play with them, I like to take them to the park. I will always keep them on a leash. I can teach them some tricks, sit , stay roll over. I can take them out every two hours, to go potty. I can keep them over night. I took care of a one eye cat, I took care of a blind dog. I have had dogs in diapers. I took care of a Yorkshire, who was pregnant, she went into labor at my house, and my mom and I delivered three little babies they came out every forty minutes. We help clean the babies, and my dog Chuckie helped to. Give them kisses, hugs.
“Lauren was absolutely amazing with my Bear. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She was attentive, responsible, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable and cared for while I was away. Lauren kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a spotless house. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter—reliable, caring, and trustworthy. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for someone to treat their pet like family!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have raised several from young puppies into adulthood. I currently care for my three dogs—Nala, Sage, and Willow—and have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic puppy care, and giving each dog the patience and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your pet like they’re one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hello, I'm Katie! I helped my mom run a cat rescue for over 8 years (that includes waking up every 2 hours to bottle feed, giving medication, handling moody kitties, cleaning up constant messes, etc). Since then, I've been trusted to pet sit for friends, coworkers, and family members. I have slightly more experience house sitting with cats than dogs, but I love all pets equally and would be so happy to meet them! I offer overnight stays/house sitting, drop-ins, and dog walking. I am currently pet sitting full time. I am available on weekdays and weekends however early or late as needed, and for as many drop-ins as needed. My schedule is very flexible! The care and safety of your pet is the most important thing to me. I make sure to keep human food out of reach along with plastic bags, cords, or other potentially harmful items. I always try to keep pets entertained, happy, and out of trouble. I am a very clean person and will never leave a mess behind, I can assure your home will be well looked after. I can provide photo or text updates as often as needed!
“She was so great with my pups! They’re usually timid around new people, but she was patient and took the time to meet them a few times so they could warm up. Super communicative and reliable—I felt completely at ease leaving them in her care.”
“Bridget was amazing! Our dog Luna loved her. She was reliable and very sweet to our wild dog. She actually went out of her way to help us when she noticed an ant problem while we were out of town. We will definitely be booking her for our next trip!”
“David went above and beyond today. I forgot to update my address in the Rover platform and he went to our old house. As soon as I let him know what happened, he quickly updated the appointment and made his way to our new place. I so appreciate this - my dad is not able to walk my dog and Sam was very happy to see David, since we are repeat customers. I so appreciate his thoughtfulness and care. He is also very attentive and responsive.”

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own dog who lived with diabetes and eventually lost her vision. During that time, I was responsible for administering daily insulin injections, managing a specialized prescription diet, monitoring her health, and ensuring she remained comfortable and happy. This experience taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to care for pets with unique medical needs. In addition to caring for my own dog, I have regularly looked after my siblings' dogs and friends' pets, providing feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of love. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work part-time and am self-employed, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and check-ins around each pet's specific needs. Because I have control over my work schedule, I can provide reliable care and give pets the attention they deserve rather than fitting them into a busy routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their established routine as closely as possible. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I ensure they receive their regular feeding schedule, exercise, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean and secure while following any instructions provided by the owner. I also provide updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they're away.

About: With over a decade of hands on animal care experience, I provide dependable walks and attentive home visits rooted in patience, consistency, and genuine care. My experience in animal shelters, professional grooming, and veterinary medicine has allowed me to work with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, helping me understand their individual needs, adapt to different personalities, and remain calm in new or challenging situations. . Clear communication is one of my top priorities. After every walk or drop in, you’ll receive detailed updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I pay attention to the little things, from changes in energy and appetite to shifts in mood or behavior, because those details often matter most. . Whether you need recurring walks, midday check ins, or dependable care while you’re away, I show up on time, respect your home, and help maintain the routines your pet knows and trusts. As the owner of a very smart senior poodle, I understand the trust it takes to place your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to build that trust through consistency, attentiveness, and open communication, while providing the kind of care that gives both pets and their people peace of mind. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. Whether you need recurring walks, drop-in visits, or last-minute care, I prioritize clear communication and dependable service. My goal is to keep your pet on as consistent a schedule as possible. I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any household guidelines you provide. Every pet is unique, and I’m happy to accommodate the little details that help them feel comfortable and at home. Whether that’s a favorite walking route, a special bedtime routine, or even a specific way they like their meals prepared, I’m happy to help.
About: They call me that because once you start feeding squirrels, birds, stray cats, neighborhood dogs walking by, and maybe a raccoon & possum once or twice, like me, then you’ll start to befriend them. Soon after it’ll start to feel like animals are attracted to you (but it’s mostly because I give them food lol). I go by Janet and I love animals from feathery to furry. I have 4 birds, 7 cats and 1 turtle (all rescues). I know that with the proper care and instruction I can take care of any friend! New update from November 2025 - I’m back on Rover after a year-long hiatus and accepting new clients in the Chicago land area and northwest Indiana. 😊 My husband and I moved into a house with a spacious backyard in Lansing, Illinois. I’m open for arranging pick up and drop off as I do have a reliable transportation. Lastly, a meet and greet at my home would be ideal so your pup(s) can meet my husband, who will be there a majority of the time, and get a feel of where they will be staying. But rest assured I will be 100% responsible at all times for your pup(s) while under my care. I currently work from home. I set my own schedule, so I’m available to work whenever I am needed including mornings and weekends. Preferably daytime and Fri - Sat date night evening. I care for pets by making sure to thoroughly read care instructions and immediately contacting the owner by either call or txt if I have any questions. And most importantly by never letting them out of my sight!
About: I have taken care of pups and kittens to older cats and dogs for about 5 years. I understand that they need love and care just like us humans do. I mostly work on my computer and take care of my daughter so, I'm pretty flexible. Their every need will surely be met. I have a 3-year-old and she loves animals, although she will be at school a great deal at the time. I have a nice space for dogs to walk around or play in my apartment as well as a park down the street with a big field. I am hospital and respectful in the dog's home as well.
“Cassidy took great care of our boys. She was also super flexible with us, which helped us out so much. She always updated the rover card and added lots of pictures. We will be repeat customers! Thank you!!”
About: I have always been surrounded by animals big and small, been catering to their needs as a dog mom myself I always do what’s best for animals and make sure they are in a safe environment with me. I’m currently working part-time and in my spare time I always have my very own that attend too and I know how stressful it is whenever you can’t find anyone to help care for ur pet I have a fenced in backyard, with two of my dogs which are friendly with others so your fur baby will not be lonely . Do have the space if you’d like for me to crate ur dogs if needed in specific times if trying to crate train them . I walk my dogs an a daily about four times per day or if I’m taking care of a puppy more frequently then four as I know they can not hold for such a long time as older dogs

“Sheree was a great dog sitter while we were out of town. She kept us informed of everything via texts, pictures, and videos. It was very calming knowing that our pup was in good hands while we were out of town. I highly recommend her services if you need an experienced dog sitter! She is absolutely phenomenal”
“Shani responded quickly to take a last minute long term booking. She was very communicative & hands on with Malcolm. Felt very comfortable leaving my baby while out of the country.”
“I had surgery unexpectedly and Joy and Dan accepted my last minute request of dog boarding. My puppy was very excited to go back there and when I picked him up he was very happy. He had a very good visit with them. I am very satisfied with the care that they provided to my puppy.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have raised several from young puppies into adulthood. I currently care for my three dogs—Nala, Sage, and Willow—and have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic puppy care, and giving each dog the patience and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your pet like they’re one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I receive my work schedule monthly, so I keep my availability up to date and am happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit both of our schedules. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, and provide a loving, dependable environment while you’re away.
“Bola did such an amazing job with my PawSon, Zuko! She checked in daily during our trip, kept us aware of any behavior that wasn’t typical to his schedule and sent us lots of cute photos. She’s so kind and gave Zuko soooo much love. We will def be using her again.. she’s family now!”
“i can tell just by walking into the house that Jene and her grandma is good people. I felt comfortable to leave my dogs with them and my dogs casino and celestia seem to have got comfortable quick. I would def use again”
“Tonisa was an excellent dog sitter. She took us at the last hour because our other dog sitter had an emergency. Tonisa provided us with pics and updates throughout the visit. I highly recommend her and our dogs will definitely be back.”
“Dominique was AB-SO-LUTE-LY Fabulous!!! She treated my babies like her very own (even calling them by their "cutesy" baby names when she scratched them under their cheeks and behind the ears). She created a safe, loving and clean space for them... allowing them to thrive. Truth be told, I'm kind of jealous that they "took to her" so quickly and didn't miss me more (our first time separated in 11 years). Knowing Dominique was taking such great care of them, made the stressful time I was going through easier to manage. My babies came back, calm,well feldand clean!!! 👍 I will definitely seek out Ms. Dominique again for any and all future pet needs.”

“Bridget was amazing with our dog, Miller. Miller has separation anxiety and can be a hit or miss with sitters, but he warmed up to Bridget and her family right away. Great communication and felt extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend to let your dog stay with her family and pup of her own who is both adorable and friendly.”
“This is Manuel’s 2nd time watching my kitty Luna and he was just as awesome as the first time! He sent me a ton of photos, was very flexible with pick up and drop off times and overall very communicative.”
“This angel and her family are a godsend. Our pup is always mad when he has to come home. We would recommend Elizabeth a million times over. We never worry when he is with her!”
“Kassia was a great sitter for my pup. She met with me and Penny in advance to make sure we were a right fit for each other. During her stay with Kassia, Penny sent me lots of great pics to let me know she was doing just fine.”
