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!

Michele was great! Our 5yr old dog was only babysat one time ever prior to this. So he's a bit nervous with strangers. We were out of state on vacation for 2wks and we were worried how he'd do. Well Michele sent pics and msgs everyday we asked which was great! Michele did an exceptional job! We are super pleased with Michele and would use her again for sure.

It was clear that Max was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout his stay. Erin was reliable, communicative, and treated Max like her own.

Katie and her family were so amazing with our baby dog. She’s like a totally different pup! She doesn’t get upset in the crate, her bitting has dramatically dropped, and she’s much more claim throughout the day. I cannot thank her enough for taking ivy in on short notice and letting her be apart of her family. 10/10 would recommend!

Midas had the best time with Beatrice. She took him to see all his farm friends, he got plenty of long walks, extra cuddles, and basically everything a pup could ask for. She asked all the right questions and was 100% prepared for this big ball of fluff. The pictures we received were easily the best parts of our days. I cant say enough good things about how good it felt to leave Midas in such capable hands. Cheers!

Jennifer sent so many pictures which makes the separation from my fur baby a lot easier. Lucy seemed very content and was a “pooped pooch” when I picked her up. She loved playing with Jennifer’s pups. A tired pup is a good pup. I’m so glad I found Jennifer & her family. Will be requesting her for Lucy in the future.

I also have a cat and occasionally help train k9 working dogs in my spare time. I used to live on a farm and am great with all farm animals. I currently work full time, but am available in the mornings, Tuesdays and Thursdays, along with every other weekend off.

New surroundings can be curious for dogs and the safety is my biggest priority.

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience, a deep love for animals, and a calm, reliable approach to care. I’m 31 years old and have spent my entire life around dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Whether it’s caring for energetic puppies, giving gentle attention to senior pets, or just understanding each pet’s unique needs, I treat every animal like my own—with patience, affection, and respect. I’m confident in administering basic medications, recognizing pet body language, and keeping animals safe, comfortable, and happy in any environment. I work full-time from 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday, but I’m available for pet sitting on weekends and for walks or drop-in visits after 5pm on weekdays. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to give them the attention, activity, and affection they need when I’m with them. I have a fenced in yard with enough space to run and play, I also have a chocolate lab who is laid back and loves other dogs.

About: I recently lost my soul dog, Wilson. He was a 14 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He is in the picture with me. I have a second Cavalier named Auggie. I worked with Wilson to become a certified therapy dog. He retired when he was 10. When he was around 9 he became deaf. Therefore, I have years of experience with a deaf dog. I have experience with dogs from puppy through old age. My grown children also have dogs. I have included some of those dogs in the pictures. We have a bulldog, a golden retriever, a boxer, a lab, and several mixed breed rescues in our family! I have decided to offer my services on Rover to help fill a void after losing my beloved Wilson. I look forward to loving your dog as my own! I work full-time but am home on weekends and have extended breaks in my work when I am home. My home is set up for animals but I am also willing to provide services in your home. For care in my home, I have a large yard in a park-like setting. My house is set up for pets with limited carpet, doggie steps to lay on a comfy couch, windows to watch squirrels and keep an eye on the mailman. I am also available to love your pets in your home.

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’ve been taking care of pets since childhood. First it was cats, then dogs, and I’m now a proud owner of a Quaker parrot. I’m willing to walk or pet sit dogs, help pet sit cats at their own home, and the same with exotic birds. Someone is always home with the pet and we also help you dog get socialized with our parrot. When I had dogs, I let them sleep on the bed with us. I also let them sit on the furniture, too. And I do spoil them, also. I work full time in the afternoon shift but my boyfriend works mornings so there is always someone home. He loves animals, too! I do my best to work around my schedule. Our bird Kerry only goes in his cage when we are both out of the house and at bedtime. Otherwise, we let him out. Kerry is used to dogs. He likes to talk to dogs.

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.

About: I have both personal and practical experience caring for dogs. Raising my own poodle taught me patience, consistency, and how to meet a dog’s daily needs with love. On top of that, I’ve babysat multiple dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, which helped me learn how to adjust to each dog’s unique temperament. I’m comfortable handling playful puppies that need extra attention and energy, as well as older dogs that require a gentler, more careful approach. No matter their age or personality, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. I am available in the mornings, which is a great time for walks, feeding, and playtime. In the evenings, I sometimes work, but I make sure to schedule pet care around my shifts so that every pet receives the attention and care they need. I am reliable and organized, and I prioritize making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared-for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can eat, play, rest, and get plenty of attention. I make sure routines—like feeding, walking, and playtime—are consistent to keep pets happy and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions to maintain their pet’s usual routine. I ensure their home stays clean, their pets are fed on schedule, and they receive love, playtime, and any special care they need. I also provide updates to the owner, so they can feel confident their pet is safe and happy while they’re away.

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.

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!

About: I've been studying dog behavior for over 9 years. I also have experience as a veterinary receptionist and grooming assistant. I train pet dogs on good behavior as well as rehabilitation for fearful or aggressive dogs. Safety is my #1 concern. Every dog that comes into my home is treated like family, as I do my own dogs. I am blessed with a large house that has a separate living quarters for the boarding dogs and a big beautiful fenced yard. Both are kept clean and hazard free. I would love to host your dog and make sure you are worry free while you're away! I work with dogs as a career and am home full time. I have a daily routine that changes depending on what dogs I have. Each dog gets fed once or twice, a day depending on owner preference. For medical or dietary reasons feeding can me more or less frequent. Any medications needed will be given. Each dog gets back yard exercise daily. Of course they get plenty of love! 🐾 Saftey and cleanliness are my top concerns. My home is clean and hazard free. I am "puppy proof" and always vigilant. I have accommodations and experience working with aggressive or reactive dogs and can also accommodate/work with kennel anxitey. I am able to keep dogs separate from my personal dogs if needed. Dogs that are friendly will be able to socialize/play with my very well tempered pack, depending on owner preference. I have a fenced yard and there are no gaps or ways to get out. I can also accommodate jumpers using a long recall leash!

About: I love all the furry babies, my own fur babies are treated like my children. I work from home, so your baby would have my attention through the entire day. We would have time to play, walk, snuggle, and bond. I have a large fenced in back yard. Your baby would feel at home and comfortable in my home, they would have full access to roam and wander. They also would be allowed on the couches / beds for snuggles and belly rubs. I work from home, giving me the flexibility to ensure your pup has plenty of time and attention. I have an 11 year old son who is just as much as an animal lover. I have a large fenced in back yard. My foxy girl loves to get her zoomies out back there, and loves playing fetch. My son will love on, play, and engage with your pup also.

About: I was a dog owner for over 13 years. I had my Bruce from 10 weeks old until he passed. He was my best friend and I cherish the memories we made. I am experienced in puppy obedience training and senior care. I can walk, play, feed, bathe, brush and trim your dogs nails. I also have been an owner of our cat Kona for over 7 years. I have watched a cared for my family and friends pets for several years. As long as your pets are good with little girls 1 and 3 years old and a cat, then I’m the sitter for you. I have had the experience of watching dogs of all sizes and different temperaments. All pets of different breeds are welcome as we are lovers of all dogs. I will be sure to treat your pets like they’re mine, with the love and care that they deserve. I work full time from home and can take breaks to let your dog out to go potty, take them on walks and give them the love and care they deserve. I can also feed them on a daily schedule as advised. My family and I will also provide playtime and snuggles. I am also available to do drop in visits and dog walks after 3PM during the week and anytime during the weekend. I can take your dog out on leash as we currently don’t have a fenced in backyard. Your pet can stay by me in my office/basement, play with my kids when they’re home or easily be crated. I will make sure all the kids toys are put away and out of reach of the pets. Please be sure to have your pets updated on vaccinations.

About: I absolutely love animals! My family’s had animals my whole life. If I had more room I’d have so many more! So instead you should let me meet yours ☺️ Thank you! Every morning I get up and let my dogs out to go to the bathroom and then feed them. During the day we hang out and then around dinner time I feed them again and then they sleep in my room with me. I will make sure your animal is taken care of. Make sure they are fed and have water, take them on a walk or any other things needed. I can also clean up any accidents.

About: Hi there, my name is Sami! I've lived with dogs my whole life, big and small - some of which include a Golden Retriever, a Yorkie, and a Maltese. My sister occasionally comes over with her Goldendoodle, and I love spending time with my aunt's Bernese Mountain Dogs when I can visit them. I plan to adopt my own dog later in the future, and perhaps enroll them as a therapy dog to bring comfort to others. I've watched both my sister's and parents' dogs while they are away for the day, and I have some experience in caring for them when they were puppies. I used to walk my parents' dogs in the past, as well. I enjoy interacting with dogs as a whole, and I put their safety and comfort first. I'm an introvert who lives a quiet lifestyle, but I also love to have fun, so if your furry friend needs someone to hang out with while you're away, I'll be there for them! NOTE: Though I adore cats, I am unfortunately allergic and therefore cannot interact with them directly if you have any in your home. I can still feed or play with them via a cat teaser or laser pointer, but I cannot pet them or pick them up. :( Currently, I am working full-time at an elementary school in Minooka. However, school is out for the summer until August, so I will be manually updating my Rover schedule to provide some availability Monday through Friday. On Saturdays and Sundays, I am available during afternoons and evenings, though prior arrangements in advance can be made for a morning walk or drop-in visit! I will update my schedule as soon as anything changes. If you have any questions regarding my schedule for a particular day or week, please don’t hesitate to message me! IMPORTANT: As per Rover’s Terms of Service, please note that I cannot share private contact details or accept methods of payment outside of Rover. This is for the safety and security of all parties involved. When out on a walk, I will make sure your friend is kept safe and away from hazards or things they may be uncomfortable with. When dropping in for a visit, I will make sure their needs are met and everything is secured for their safety. They would never be left unsupervised, and they'll get lots of love and playtime! I will gladly send photos and text updates upon request. Please do let me know your communication frequency preferences, so I don't accidentally disturb you with messages!

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.

About: My passion for dogs has been with me since a very young age. As a child, my dream was to be a vet because of my passion and love for animals. I have 20 years of service, and my approach to caring for my dogs at home has always been holistic and natural. I've reversed my dog's diagnosed disease naturally and have saved his life naturally when vets have told me to put my dog to sleep. I'm thorough with my dogs’ routine, medication, diet, and cleaning eating. That makes me highly prepared for the dogs I tend to. Fun fact: My family and I own 17 pets! Usually, when everyone goes on a family trip, I'm the caregiver for all our pets at once. Hopefully, the background I give of my experience gives you peace in choosing me to watch your babies 🐩🐶🐕 I do freelance work; it's my main source of income. Therefore, it’s easy to create my own schedule and very flexible days and hours. It will be easier for you to book with me as I strive to work with your schedule and needs effortlessly. Personally, with my own dog, I'm highly attentive. Even though we have a backyard, I strongly believe in always being present and attentive when taking your dog out to potty. Even in your own backyard! Anytime they are outside, I will be present. I also think it’s important to interact and be present regularly with them; they need attention and love, too. I make sure to spend time with my dog when I come home and make time to play, cuddle, and show him affection . Also, it's important for me to take him out of the house. Even if it's a short walk, cruising in the car to pick up errands or food. It's important for them to explore and experience different environments.

About: I recently lost my soul dog, Wilson. He was a 14 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He is in the picture with me. I have a second Cavalier named Auggie. I worked with Wilson to become a certified therapy dog. He retired when he was 10. When he was around 9 he became deaf. Therefore, I have years of experience with a deaf dog. I have experience with dogs from puppy through old age. My grown children also have dogs. I have included some of those dogs in the pictures. We have a bulldog, a golden retriever, a boxer, a lab, and several mixed breed rescues in our family! I have decided to offer my services on Rover to help fill a void after losing my beloved Wilson. I look forward to loving your dog as my own! I work full-time but am home on weekends and have extended breaks in my work when I am home. My home is set up for animals but I am also willing to provide services in your home. For care in my home, I have a large yard in a park-like setting. My house is set up for pets with limited carpet, doggie steps to lay on a comfy couch, windows to watch squirrels and keep an eye on the mailman. I am also available to love your pets in your home.

About: I've been caring for animals for over 12 years, starting with my own dog, Lola. Since both of my parents worked, I was often responsible for feeding her, taking her on walks, playing with her, and making sure she was well cared for. That experience taught me responsibility from a young age and helped me develop a genuine love for animals. Since then, I've cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors, including dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I am currently home for the summer, which means my availability is very flexible and I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. Once summer ends, I will be continuing my pilot training and taking online courses through Lewis University. Even then, my schedule will remain flexible, allowing me to continue providing reliable and attentive care for your pets. I have a fenced yard and one dog of my own, Phoebe, who is incredibly friendly and loves being around other dogs. She can play all day long and does a great job helping other dogs feel comfortable in a new environment! If your pet will be staying in my home, I would be more than happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand so they can get to know Phoebe and make sure everyone is a good fit. Your pet's safety and well being are always my top priorities, and I will follow any routines or instructions you provide to help them feel right at home!

About: My pet care experience consists of having a dog throughout my childhood and adult years. I've always loved the companionship of owning a dog and also visiting or babysitting families and friends' dogs/cats. With having a dog comes a lot of responsibility and attention whether that's feeding, letting outside, physical activity, and training. I'm experienced in all of those qualities. The pet care that I will be using through the new dogs and cats I meet are the basics of giving treats, going for walks, and playing fetch or ball. Those basics are important and useful for dog caregivers because any dog would love the attention and care that you are giving them unconditionally. I'm also experienced in grooming with bathing the pet if needed. Whether that's outside with a hose and soap or inside in a bathtub. Dogs are my best friends and should be treated with love and companionship therefore I would treat the dog and make sure they are happy and comfortable but also safe and calm at all times. My schedule is very flexible and in the case of babysitting or walking a dog, I will be attentive and responsible. Since I currently have a dog at home I take her outside frequently, stay outside with her and walk around the backyard or throw a toy and play fetch or even just sit in the grass and give her belly rubs. My daily routine consists of letting my dog outside and hanging out with her off and on while also letting her have time to rest and chill by herself. My weekly routine is the same as my daily routine aside from additional car rides, pup cups, or cousin visits with other dogs. The safety, trust & Environment of the care for the pet in my home and or my client's home will consist of making sure all doors are shut when entering and exiting the home or garage. Also making sure the dog is on a leash and well equipped when walking through a neighborhood. I also have a fenced-in yard so I'm experienced with fences and the proper precautions if needed. I can easily create your dog too if needed. Also water supply and refilling the water bowl as needed and giving supplements or medicine also. Also will have the clients contact information in case of emergency.

About: Hi my name is Asia. I’m really excited to have extra income but I’m more in it for the loving animals. Animals are my life! 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 to care for. I have two bearded dragons, two cats, one dog, and one fish. In the mornings I go to the gym and after I’m pretty much open throughout the day until school starts, which is in the beginning of January. Feeding and watering animals,Playing with them and keeping them company, Walking the dogs, Grooming and brushing the animals' coats, Changing the cat's litter box, Providing health care if necessary. Giving them affection, so they don't feel abandoned after their owner leaves.

About: **All clients are required to provide updated vaccination records and any details about ongoing flea/tick/heartworm prevention or treatment details before booking** What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep love for animals, my ability to connect with dogs of all personalities, and my specialized skills in training, energy management, and senior pet care.

Whether they need structured training, high-energy exercise, extra snuggles, or specialized medical care, I am committed to providing the very best. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are my top priorities! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I’ve structured my schedule to ensure I’m always available when pets need attention, exercise, and love.

Caring for pets is more than just a job for me—it’s a responsibility I take seriously, ensuring every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable.

Susan and her husband were great pet sitters. Seth loved them and their property. She kept in contact with us for the time she had Seth with texts and pictures. I will definitely use her again.

Katie and her family were so amazing with our baby dog. She’s like a totally different pup! She doesn’t get upset in the crate, her bitting has dramatically dropped, and she’s much more claim throughout the day. I cannot thank her enough for taking ivy in on short notice and letting her be apart of her family. 10/10 would recommend!

Rachel was very accommodating. She is an obvious dog lover and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her. She has a great setup and I was afraid my dog wasn’t going to want to come home! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.

Jennifer sent so many pictures which makes the separation from my fur baby a lot easier. Lucy seemed very content and was a “pooped pooch” when I picked her up. She loved playing with Jennifer’s pups. A tired pup is a good pup. I’m so glad I found Jennifer & her family. Will be requesting her for Lucy in the future.

This is the second time that we put our trust with Ms. G! She is extremely attentive to details, patient with our furry babies' needs, communicative, and worked diligently to help us iron out some last minute details. Throughout the stay she sent pictures, updates and truly made us feel at ease. I would highly recommend and can see us seeking her out in the future.

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

Sonja was an excellent caregiver to our 2 12 week Bernie doodle puppies. We were nervous leaving them with anyone but she was very kind and reassuring. We provide excellent communication for drop off and pick up and sent daily messages and pics of them having fun and being loved just like if they were at home. She is a true animal lover and treated our babies as her own. We would not hesitate to call her again when needed. She deserves all 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I did a last minute booking. From the time I requested Kathleen has been so responsive. She did everything to make me feel comfortable as this was my first experience with a pet sitter. She sent plenty of pictures and videos and my doggy son has such a great time.
