“Shani was so great! This was our first time leaving our dog Lucy and Shani made us feel comfortable providing daily updates with photos and videos. Lucy loved being at her home and we will definitely return!”
“"Brandon is an excellent and reliable dog sitter. He provided exceptional care for my dog, Cookie, ensuring she was happy and well-tended to. I highly recommend his services for anyone looking for dependable pet care!"”
“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.”
“I cannot recommend Mercedes enough! I was looking for a last minute sitter and Mercedes was very responsive and took my dog at last minute notice. Mercedes went above and beyond when caring for my pup and I never felt more comfortable with a sitter. She took amazing care of my dog and kept me informed! She showed incredible kindness to me and my pup ❤️”
“Thank you so much for taking good care of my Dazz, the videos and updates kept me at ease as I was in another country. Would definitely use your service again!”

She cares to the needs of the your pet in every aspect including teaching and developing. We look forward to holding onto Juliana for future bookings and continuing seeing her grow with her pet care and support. Thanks for everything Juliana, we appreciate you so much.”
“I had the pleasure of having Bola watch my dogs, Lady, Jasmine, and Vixen, after putting in a last-minute request. My dogs weren’t comfortable in their previous environment, and Bola went above and beyond to accommodate us. She was incredibly welcoming, nurturing, and made my dogs feel right at home. When they came back to the hotel for our last night, they were actually upset with me and didn’t even want me to love on them—clearly, they adored Bola! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies. Thank you, Bola, for being so amazing!”
“Thaaaannnkkk you Toya! She was wonderful throughout the whole process. Great communication, was able to accommodate only a few days prior of notification, and flexible with the booking! Dropoff was easy, and my dog didn't even bark when she came out (always a good sign of a dog person!). Of course he would have a small incident in her residence, Toya was informative in what happened and was still patient and kind. We would definitely consider using her again.”
“Sheree H. is the BEST!! It was our first time getting a dog sitter for our fur baby MILO and we were nervous initially. However, Sheree put our minds at ease by sending updates throughout the day she even sent video footage. I highly recommend Sheree for your dog boarding needs.”
“I was recommended to E through a good friend. It felt like a huge win! The location was 0.3 miles from my home and her family was willing to take my miniature GoldenDoodle Ellie at the last minute to accommodate my complex work schedule. I couldn’t have been happier with how clean and pet friendly their home is. I got over 25 pictures and a video sharing Ellie’s adventures throughout the evening. It was so reassuring and comforting to know that my baby was with a family that was ? treating her like she was their own. I just picked her up and I’ve already scheduled her next stay. You won’t regret leaving your fur baby with E and her family! A special thank you to Neil and the boys for letting her cuddle and play with you. She is forever grateful! See you soon. Xoxo”
“I want to say thank you Tanisha. You have watched over my baby Bruno like he was your own & helped me and Cavin out so much. You kept sending me updates and I’m so glad you got to see Bruno for how gentle he really is. Bruno will be back with you anytime you are available . Thank you thank you thank you . 10stars in my book .”
“It was our first time boarding Koda, so we were a little nervous about how he would handle it. Megan made the entire experience incredibly comforting and seamless. She kept us updated throughout the day, responded quickly, and truly put our minds at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend her to anyone.”
“She is a great dog sitter. I was constantly updated with pics showing how happy Harley was during his stay. I appreciate her accommodating to keep our pet at the last minute. Thanks Kendra!! You will be seeing Harley again soon.”

My goal is to make your cat feel relaxed and cared for until you’re back home.
“From the moment we met her, we knew our cat was in the most loving and capable hands. She cared for our fur baby with so much tenderness and attention, going above and beyond to ensure Charlie felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. Her daily updates brought us peace of mind and smiles each day. We are so grateful for her, and feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so wonderful to care for our Charlie.”
“If you love your pets, you’ll love Coretta! The amount of love she gave to my cats seems like she treated them as her own! She was very informative and gave very detailed follow ups after each visit! I don’t think anyone would disagree that she’s VERY good at what she does. We will be looking for her every time we need a sitter! Thank you again Coretta and we hope to see you again!”
“Anyah spent three days looking after our very shy cats and she took their standoffish nature in stride. She was communicative, organized, friendly, and punctual. Most importantly, she helped us out when we really needed a reliable pet sitter, and was unbelievable accommodating of our cats’ many quirks. We will absolutely be calling her first from now on.”

“Maria was great. I scheduled her for a couple of drop in visits on a day we were going to be gone all day. She contacted me an hour before her first visit because there was rain in the forecast. She asked about how the dogs were in the rain and checked to see if she should walk them or plan for the backyard. She sent pictures and communication was great. I’ve already scheduled her for an upcoming overnight stay.”

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!

“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 enjoy all animals and have trained several dogs throughout the years. Before becoming interested in Rover, I have previously housed several dogs for friends and family members through WAG. With currently being in school to become a veterinarian, working with Rover would be a wonderful opportunity to become even more involved with taking care of animals. I am currently home full-time and will be easily accessible. With allowing me to house your fuzzy loved ones, be prepared for a very nice, professional, loving, and safe experience for the both of you. I currently work from home so I will have ample time to be present and support your fur baby. Daily walks and treats are provided I have a large fenced in yard for play time. I also provide as many updates as you need; this includes pictures and videos of your pet.
“Maren has been a godsend to us. We brought Luna home at 8 weeks and I was super nervous about finding someone to look after her while my partner and I are at work. We were in a tricky position because she's not crate trained yet, so she needs all-day care, but doggy day care's won't accept her because she doesn't have all her shots. When I asked Maren to look after our little rascal 2x a week for 2 months, she was incredibly accommodating. It's been 2 weeks now since Luna has started "camp Maren" and it's been great. Maren communicates well and sends multiple updates throughout the day. Luna loves Maren so much that she does a little happy dance (which involves jumping, wiggling, and lots of kissing) every time they meet and I can tell she's not quite ready to leave when we come pick her up. If you want someone who will love and take care of your dog as her own, look no further! Thanks, Maren!”
About: I have been a dog owner for over 25 years. I currently have a 3 year old golden doodle and a 10 year old yorkie/maltise mix that I rescued from the shelter when she was just 7 months old. Being a dog owner for over 25 years has given me a lot of experience and patience with dogs. I am recently retired and have even more time with my fur babies. My dogs get routine walks and playtime at our local doggie park. I have a fenced in backyard for your fur baby to stretch out and play. Your dog will have their own personal cage and space while in my care.
“Amazing!!!! Only five stars??? If it was more than 5 stars, Mia can have each & every last one, she is wonderful. The best decision was choosing Mia out of all the other sitters that were listed. Communication skills are top notch, fast replies, Mia stays in contact all throughout the day, plenty of photos and videos. I was 100% worry free while I was at work. Not once was I worried about my baby. And I know my baby can be a handful since he is a puppy, that did not stop Mia from taking my baby in and treating him like her own! I know for sure my baby had so much fun being with Mia. I can’t thank you enough!!! You’re truly a blessing! Thank you for taking such good care of Flash.”

About: What sets me apart is how seriously I take the trust you're placing in me. I understand that pets are family and leaving them in someone else's care can be difficult. That's why I approach every pet with patience, empathy, and genuine care. I take the time to learn their unique personality (energetic, shy, or just needs a little extra attention), routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and have the flexibility to give them the attention they deserve. With an open schedule, I can easily adapt to your pet's routine, whether that means morning walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I know that being away from their owner can be an adjustment for some pets, so I do my best to create a calm, loving, and familiar environment where they feel safe and comfortable. My goal is for your pet to feel cared for and happy, and for you to have peace of mind knowing they're in compassionate and dependable hands. When caring for pets during drop-in visits and dog walks, I make it a priority to maintain the routine they're familiar with, so they feel comfortable and at ease. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to understand their needs, whether that's a fun walk, playtime, mealtime, or some extra attention and affection. My goal is to provide thoughtful, reliable care that keeps your pet happy while giving you confidence that they're in good hands.
“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.”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, and make it my priority to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or sticking to your pet’s routine, I’ll provide the same care and attention I’d want for my own pets. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with different personalities and energy levels. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is in good hands. As a Division I student-athlete, I have basketball practice Monday through Thursday until around 1:30 p.m., which makes me available for afternoon, evening, and overnight pet care during the week. My weekends are completely open, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care. I enjoy staying active, so whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply needs companionship, I’ll make sure they receive the same love and attention I give my own pets back home. Since I currently live in a dorm, I’m unable to provide pet care in my own home. However, I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment. I treat every home with the utmost respect by keeping it clean, organized, and exactly as I found it. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, make sure they feel safe and comfortable, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing both your pet and your home are in good hands.
“I booked Tabbie to walk our doggies and she was a lifesaver these past couple of days. Tabbie was very responsive, prompt, courteous and on time. She even asked if I wanted to walk them longer which I appreciated that a lot. A tired dog is a good dog and they were nice and tired. I will definitely be using Tabbie for more dog walks!”

I also help support the Ian Somerhalder Foundation where we care for the animals and the environment. Even though I am in college right now my schedule is very flexible. Also, I do travel on public transportation. For more info and resumes please contact me. I hope to hear from you real soon for sitting jobs.

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.

“Amia,Joshua and family have been nothing but great to my baby Barry. He loves spending time over there, I definitely recommend them. They are the best fit for your fur baby 🙂”
“Tonisha is very kind, flexible, responsive. I missed my drop off window and she was very gracious. She shared daily photos and asked about Langston’s behaviors to ensure he was safe i.e.going on walks, etc. If possible, we hope to work with her again.”
“Shani was so great! This was our first time leaving our dog Lucy and Shani made us feel comfortable providing daily updates with photos and videos. Lucy loved being at her home and we will definitely return!”
“"Brandon is an excellent and reliable dog sitter. He provided exceptional care for my dog, Cookie, ensuring she was happy and well-tended to. I highly recommend his services for anyone looking for dependable pet care!"”
“I cannot recommend Mercedes enough! I was looking for a last minute sitter and Mercedes was very responsive and took my dog at last minute notice. Mercedes went above and beyond when caring for my pup and I never felt more comfortable with a sitter. She took amazing care of my dog and kept me informed! She showed incredible kindness to me and my pup ❤️”
“Juliana is amazing. She was able to accommodate on such a last minute booking. Her eager to understand your pet is beyond grateful. She cares to the needs of the your pet in every aspect including teaching and developing. We look forward to holding onto Juliana for future bookings and continuing seeing her grow with her pet care and support. Thanks for everything Juliana, we appreciate you so much.”
“I had the pleasure of having Bola watch my dogs, Lady, Jasmine, and Vixen, after putting in a last-minute request. My dogs weren’t comfortable in their previous environment, and Bola went above and beyond to accommodate us. She was incredibly welcoming, nurturing, and made my dogs feel right at home. When they came back to the hotel for our last night, they were actually upset with me and didn’t even want me to love on them—clearly, they adored Bola! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies. Thank you, Bola, for being so amazing!”
“Thaaaannnkkk you Toya! She was wonderful throughout the whole process. Great communication, was able to accommodate only a few days prior of notification, and flexible with the booking! Dropoff was easy, and my dog didn't even bark when she came out (always a good sign of a dog person!). Of course he would have a small incident in her residence, Toya was informative in what happened and was still patient and kind. We would definitely consider using her again.”
“Sheree H. is the BEST!! It was our first time getting a dog sitter for our fur baby MILO and we were nervous initially. However, Sheree put our minds at ease by sending updates throughout the day she even sent video footage. I highly recommend Sheree for your dog boarding needs.”
“I was recommended to E through a good friend. It felt like a huge win! The location was 0.3 miles from my home and her family was willing to take my miniature GoldenDoodle Ellie at the last minute to accommodate my complex work schedule. I couldn’t have been happier with how clean and pet friendly their home is. I got over 25 pictures and a video sharing Ellie’s adventures throughout the evening. It was so reassuring and comforting to know that my baby was with a family that was ? treating her like she was their own. I just picked her up and I’ve already scheduled her next stay. You won’t regret leaving your fur baby with E and her family! A special thank you to Neil and the boys for letting her cuddle and play with you. She is forever grateful! See you soon. Xoxo”
“It was our first time boarding Koda, so we were a little nervous about how he would handle it. Megan made the entire experience incredibly comforting and seamless. She kept us updated throughout the day, responded quickly, and truly put our minds at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend her to anyone.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Great Care! Manuel was professional and caring. He communicated throughout the day, sending updates and pictures. He went above and beyond caring for Levi. She was extremely happy and tired when I picked he up. I would highly recommend Manuel to take care of your Furbaby!”
“Sandy was great, she was sweet and kind, I could tell Jax was comfortable with her as soon as we arrived. She sent us consistent photo updates which really put me at ease on my trip knowing he was in good hands and having the best time!”
“Chelsea was phenomenal!! 5 out of 5 stars doesn’t even begin to cover it. So easy to communicate with, we received more pictures then we knew what to do with, and she was consistently taking the dogs on walks, to the beach, and out for treats. Couldn’t be more thankful. If we are ever in Chicago again we will be using her services!!”
“Alex took great care of Olli for 4 days! Sent plenty of photos and updates the whole time. Her dogs got along well with mine as well. Will definitely be coming back for any future bookings. Olli's definitely looking forward to it”
