Highly-rated overnight sitters - Deers
“Gloria and Mark are WONDERFUL dog sitters. Our Olive just loves it there, always leaving happy and tired from all the playing. Gloria sends multiple photos and pictures of Olive happily playing with all their fun dog toys and in their large backyard. It’s nice to know our dog is well cared for while we’re gone.”
“We love Feiran’s home so much. Kukki got to have fun with many friends everyday. And enjoying the great companion from Feiran’s family. I received so many Video and pictures which help me so much while I’m on the trip. I would highly recommend Feiran to you!”
“Aratrika was great! She gave us lots of updates throughout Moxie’s stay and followed all care instructions perfectly. We would definitely book with Aratrika again in the future!”
“Meghan took care of our dog while we are traveling over the holidays. When we had a family emergency come up and couldn't get back, she kindly offered to continue looking after him. We appreciate knowing that our dog is well taken care of in a difficult time. Will definitely book again.”
“I’ve left my puppy with Quinesha twice now, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again! She’s super nice, and my puppy absolutely adores her. She also sends plenty of photos and daily updates, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”
“Rae is a fantastic sitter! I've never felt more sure and comfortable about leaving my Izzy with anyone more than Rae and Maya. Very responsive to messages, and gives great updates with photos and videos - No anxiety here about how my dog is doing! And this last visit, Izzy was so exhausted she passed out when we got home (awesome for unloading our stuff from the trip). This is our second time using Rae's services, and we'll definitely be using her again! Thank you, Rae and Maya!”
“Katherine did an excellent job of taking care of my Winnie, a large, athletic dog who craves attention from people. Katherine kept her engaged, playing games with her and throwing the ball in the backyard. She clearly has a lot of experience with dogs. Winnie came home a very happy pup.”
“Kellie was wonderful! She was thoughtful and asked all the right questions to make sure she could give my dog Jersey the best care possible. I'll definitely be looking to Kellie for my future pet-sitting needs!”
“I highly recommend Caitlins dog boarding service. Axel had a good time during his stay. Axel normally gets anxious in a new place and with new people but Caitlin made him feel at ease during his entire visit , which also made me enjoy my vacation because I am not worried about my little Axel’s well being. I appreciate all the pictures and the report that she gives you at the end of the day with all the details about how much he ate, how many times he went outside and the potty breaks. Caitlin, Thank you so much for taking care of my little baby…”
“Rachel took care of our dog, Autumn, for the week between Christmas and New Years. She was wonderful! Her home is a warm, comfortable, friendly place for any pet, and she took Autumn on long engaging walks, and even hiking in nearby state parks. She sent regular photos, with heartwarming and hilarious descriptions of how Autumn was getting along with the cats and chickens. Rachel was super communicative, and we are so grateful she was able to accommodate pick up and drop off on holidays - not many folks can/will do that. It means the world to have found a sitter like Rachel; we will definitely reach out to her the next time we travel without our pup!”
“Bailey and Wade were fantastic with our senior “high maintenance” dog. We received daily updates and pictures of our guy having the best time! They did great calming him when storms came through! Definitely will book with Bailey & Wade again! Thank you!😊”
“Hannah is amazing! She’s very flexible and accommodating, and always keeps me updated on Nikko with pictures. She’s trustworthy and caring. My epileptic dog had a seizure while staying with her, but she handled it calmly—administering his intranasal midazolam and giving his scheduled medications on time. I would definitely book with Hannah again!”
“China was amazing. This was the first time I’ve booked a sitter on rover and she did her best to alleviate all my worries. My pup is super anxious and she did her best to help her eat her food and gave her all the time she needed to potty and do her business. She also gave my pup her meds which isn’t always easy! As long as she is available I will always go to China she’s awesome.”
“Brittany was wonderful! I felt very comfortable leaving my 5lb Maltese with her. She sent many updates with photos and he got along well with her little doggy. She let us know what treats she gave him and when he ate his kibble. I knew my dog was in good hands. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Elaine was great! Chili had a great time with her. She was informative and sent lots of pictures/videos to us. She was also flexible and easy to book with. I will be using her again!”

“Xiaotong is an amazing cat sitter. She was very communicative and always kept me in the loop with my cats. I left her some written and verbal care instructions which were all followed perfectly. Her rover cards were very detailed and came with plenty of photos. My cats decided to rummage through a couple of my trash bins, something they have never done before. Xiaotong was very understanding, going above and beyond cleaning up after my cats' mess. I would definitely book again!”
“We’re excited for Sophie to watch our cats in a few weeks, and this was a great practice night! She is friendly and clearly cares about the pets in her care. One of ours needs meds, and she handled it perfectly! We were incredibly comfortable with her caring for them.”

About: I have two friendly cats and backyard chickens. I have had cats and dogs for most of my life. I go trail hiking at local forest preserves and state parks 2-4 times a week and would love to take your dog with me! I only have one dog guest at a time (unless they are from the same home) so I can give them lots of care and attention and provide you with regular updates and photos. You will know your pet is being well looked after. My goal is to make your pet feel like it is on a fun vacation while you are on a fun vacation. Nothing makes me happier than dogs I've cared before, coming back and pulling on their leash to come into my house on their next visit! I only work half-time so I have plenty of time for pets. I know how important your pet is to you and I'm very responsible. My dog guests are walked at least three times a day including a walk or hike of 30 minutes or longer. They are also able to use my fenced in backyard when the chickens are locked up for the night .
“This is the second time we have had Misty cat sit for us while we’re away for vacation. She has been so amazing and loving to our Kitty. Definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!!”
“Kyra wonderful! She was super attentive to my two cats and made sure to update me while I was away. I definitely would recommend her to anybody looking for a great sitter.”
“Jennifer helped me with my kitty that needed special care with meds and injections. She put my mind at ease and also gave me some recommendations for him from her experience. It helped me feel ok about leaving my guy for a couple days even though he as some health issues.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Deers
“Annadel and Jose were great hosts! My dog had a great time and I received videos of her playing as well as updates. They were also responded quickly to messages. I highly recommend and would certainly use them in the future.”
“She was very kind and very accommodating! I was having surgery that day. The time I was going to be let out of the hospital depended on things going as planned. She fine with my being later than I had planned. My brother, who wasn’t so sure about leaving “our” Charlie with someone he didn’t know, picked Charlie up for me and was very pleased with Aratrika and the way she treated our little girl!!! I will definitely be bringing Charlie to Aratrika whenever I need a sitter. Thank you so much taking such good care of my little one!”
“Feiran is an awesome dog sitter. My dog Ben always loved going to her house for day care. Ben used to stay weekly and I always received pictures and videos from walks and play time. Ben was always exhausted and went to bed after day care. Feiran was always very accommodating and I would recommend her to anyone that needs a safe and great environment for their dog. I'd leave Ben with her over any kennel or dog day care facility. Thank you Feiran!”
“Ryan was our first time using Rover and he was awesome! Our silken windhound Maverick loved playing with his border collies. I loved getting updates with pictures of them playing together. It’s so hard to find someone who will do daycare for a non-neutered show dog, even when they have zero behavioral problems. 100% recommend Ryan if you want your pup to have a great day!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was around 5 years old. I have experience giving dogs pills, being consistent with training processes, and with senior dog care. I have also taken care of cats. I’m able to take care of dogs and cats in the mornings and evenings during the week and all day on weekends and holidays. I am a homebody so once I get done with work during the day, I am not leaving and play with my animals. I have a fenced in yard with a very friendly dog and cat. If needed, I have a room where I can separate my cat from other dogs to allow non-cat friendly dogs to stay. This room has his food, water, bed, toys, and litter box, while also being one I spend a large amount of time in so he is not lonely. My dog is fed once in the morning and is allowed to eat when he wants to and he runs outside in the backyard when he feels like it. I do adjust how often he gets fed and if he is free feeding when other animals are present. In clients' homes, I follow feeding and care instructions.

About: I’ve had a dog of my own since 2020. I made sure to enroll him in doggie daycare to get that enjoyment while I’m away at work. I started working from home which gave me more time to spend with my dog. I realized how close we got and how spoiled I made him. I love dogs and will care for each dog as if they are my own. I’m currently working from home. This allows me a lot of time with my dog and other dogs potentially. I set my own hours so I am able to care for the pet when needed Sticking to a routine, ensuring adequate food and fresh water is provided. Maintaining cleanliness and ensuring it is a safe culture. The dogs will be cared for
About: Hi! My name is Marissa. I’ve been caring for dogs for 11 years—starting with puppies at age 14. I have experience with all ages, including senior dogs needing extra patience, comfort, and medications. I’m reliable, gentle, and treat every dog like family. Whether it’s playful walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, your pup will be safe, loved, and well-cared for with me! I also have experience in feeding, handling and caring for bearded dragons. I’m a part-time hairstylist with a flexible schedule! I’m available for overnight care after 4 PM Tuesday–Saturday, and fully open on Sundays and Mondays (my weekend). I can also occasionally fit in midday walks, drop-ins, or medication visits between appointments during the week—just reach out to check! Your pet’s care always comes first. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with no other animals in the home—perfect for pets who need one-on-one attention. I understand how much your furry family member means to you, especially after recently losing my own beloved dog. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care I gave my own, ensuring they feel safe, secure, and right at home. I also have a pet car seat and stroller holding up to 30lbs to ensure the most comfortably and safety for your fur baby.
About: I adopted Hanson, a retired guide dog, and he’s now an angel in heaven. He showed me how deep the bond with a dog can be and is the reason I started caring for pets. Over the years, I’ve looked after many dogs for friends and family. I give them lots of love and attention, and every pet I’ve cared for has grown really close to me. I treat each one like they’re my own. Pet care is part of my everyday life. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just spending quality time with them, caring for animals is something I naturally make time for. It’s not just a task—it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to each day. I live alone, so pets get my full attention and a quiet, calm space to relax in. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable—whether that’s sticking to their routine, giving lots of playtime and cuddles, or just being nearby so they don’t feel alone. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow any instructions closely to keep things familiar for their pet.
“Caitlin is AMAZING!!!! She went above and beyond to make sure our shy 4 mo old pup felt welcome and loved in her home! She took him on multiple walks while he was there and even had him on a walk right before we arrived so he would have pottied when we got there for our drive home!!! She sent me so many pictures throughout the day of all the fun things he was doing and cuddles he was receiving! She was so thorough on pup’s report card letting us know how many times he went potty, when he ate, and how long the walks were! I could go on and on about how amazing she is! I would leave my pup with her in a heart beat and we will be going back!!!! Thank you Caitlin! ❤️❤️❤️”

About: have walked & pet sit over night dogs for my friends and family. I also have a pet cat, that I have had for 4 years I work part time so I have a very open schedule. Only on Mondays and Fridays, I have appointments at 12:00 & 1:00 respectively I make sure that they don’t get into anything that may harm them & check for food, water, litter/go outside, and interact and play.

I'm currently working part-time, so I will be available for services before 1 pm and after 4 pm during weekdays and all day on the weekends. I have experience walking larger dogs and managing older dog's needs when exercising as well as maintaining a calm environment for anxious and/or older pets.
About: I bring years of hands-on animal care experience from veterinary clinics, kennels, and long-term pet sitting, including special-needs care for a senior dog who requires diapers, hourly potty breaks, medication management, and a strict diet. My background in veterinary support and my 5-year commitment to caring for three dogs from one family means I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and fully comfortable supporting pets with complex routines. I treat every animal with patience, confidence, and genuine love, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because, with school wrapping up, I have plenty of time to focus on consistent, reliable visits. I plan my days around each pet’s needs, keeping feeding, walks, and medications on schedule while balancing a few prior commitments on set days. For the most part, I’m available daily, which allows me to offer flexible booking, dependable check-ins, and attentive pet-focused care that never feels rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly, keeping feeding, meds, and potty schedules consistent while maintaining a calm, clean environment. I provide gentle companionship, monitor behavior and health closely, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and reassured. My goal is to respect the home, reduce stress, and ensure every pet feels safe and understood.
About: Greetings! First - thank you for considering me and my services. I have been a pet owner all my life, and have been the proud parent of hamsters, fish, cats, dogs, and a rabbit! I'm also a responsible house sitter, having been both a homeowner and a renter, I understand the value of not just your pets, but your possessions, your mail and plants, the cozy space of your home, the relationships with your neighbors. I have provided these services for friends and families for most of my life. I have always loved animals and I have always owned pets, been a member of dog parks and puppy play groups, and I volunteered for the Champaign Humane Society for many years. I have also had pets with medication needs, so I am experienced in that area. For years I also groomed my own dogs, and I know that each pet has its own needs, preferences, and personalities. Finally, I recently lost my dog of 15 years, and although I now live somewhere that does not allow pets, I need animals in my life! From my own experience of being a Rover customer for many years, I also know how important it is to pet sit within your home with no disruption to your pet's routine or surroundings. I'm retired, so I can be flexible with your scheduling needs for both your pets and your home. I'm both an early riser and a night owl, so whatever works for you also works for me! I have been both a renter and homeowner, so I know how valuable your pets are, but also your cozy home, your plants, mail, and relationships with your neighbors. I have owned a bunny, hamsters, cats and dogs. But I also have an affinity for birds and reptiles. I have provided services for friends and family most of my life, now I just want to bring in a bit of extra cash to supplement social security. I'm also mainly a homebody, so if your home or your pets need extra care or a lot of time, I'm fully available.
About: Hi! Recent U of I grad looking for more opportunity to pet cats and dogs! Looking for pets with gay parents so i can look through your bookshelves xoxo gossip girl Im currently working at the champaign and urbana farmers markets, so outside of tuesdays and Saturdays i dont have any “scheduled” work. I would love to fill that time with cute pets I have a loving orange cat who loves other cats and has lots of toys and a sweet balcony where she spends her time in the sun.

“Masha is the best dog walker. Would recommend her service to anyone and any pet. She went above and beyond beyond for us. Very thankful to have had her take care of our pup.”
“Theresa did a great job! I needed a walker short notice but my usual weren't available. She had prompt communication, showed up on time, updated me w/pics, and my very good boy seemed very happy when I arrived home.”
About: One of my earliest memories was at the age of five. My mom brought my sister home from the hospital after she was born and I asked, "Can we have a kitten instead?!" Our parents started us with goldfish like most do. We then graduated to hamsters, followed by kittens. Currently, I have two dogs of my own that I consider to be my fur babies. Our pets can be much like our children, so I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to provide the care your animals need. My experience with animals comes from having my own as well as taking care of friends and family members pets as well. I love animals so much, I paint them on canvas as another passion of mine. I am looking forward to caring for your pet and providing whatever special needs they may have in order to make you and your animal feel comfortable while you are away. I work from home as an Artist so my schedule is flexible in between appointments outside of the home. I am unavailable Tuesday nights after 5pm. Looking forward to do whatever I need to stick to your pet's routine to keep them stress free, happy and healthy. Whether they enjoy long walks, active play or just snuggles and pets I would love to accommodate whatever their needs may be.
About: I have 4 dogs that I’ve owned for 5 years now. I adopted two of them as puppies, so I potty trained them and taught them how to sit, lay down, walk off-leash, etc. I adopted my other two as adults, but I did train them how to walk off-leash as well. I care for them every single day, which includes feeding them on the same schedule every day, walking them, playing with them, bathing them when needed, taking them to the vet when needed, cleaning up after them to ensure a healthy and clean environment for them. I’m currently a college student who is out of school for the summer, so I am available 7 days a week at all hours of the day! In my client’s home, I will complete any task they ask of me in the way they ask to do it, as I completely understand that certain dogs need certain routines and strategies. I respect my client’s homes and the way they operate their home lives, and will do all I can to ensure their pets are happy and healthy.
“I’m so grateful to have found Sarah and to have her walking my dog when I have long work days. My senior dog has gotten even more finicky as she’s aged, and Sarah totally follows her lead on whether she wants a longer walk or some extra belly rubs each day, and Sarah keeps me posted on how Ava is doing during the day. It’s such a relief and gives me so much peace of mind!”
About: I love all animals and I have pets ranging from reptiles to cats and dogs. I have experience working with fearful pets and pets with aggression issues. During my time working in animal shelters and veterinary clinics, I handled and worked with pets of all different temperaments and training levels. Please let me know if there’s anything you are working with your pet on (jumping, mouthing, frustrated leash tugging, pulling, etc) and how you would like to have me work with them if that happens. I am comfortable medicating and caring for all of your pets needs as I am a certified veterinary technologist with an Associate in veterinary technology and Bachelors in animal sciences with a concentration of companion animals. My love for animal care started when I began volunteering at animal shelters and horse stables in middle school. It has continued to grow into a passion and career. I have been working in veterinary toxicology since 2017. I have a special interest in animal behavior and training. I have worked through my own dog’s stranger aggression, and reactivity to dogs and people. With lots of consistency and training, she was able to get her AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate. I am currently working with an adult foster dog that came from a neglectful and abusive household. Right now I am teaching him how to ‘dog’ and basic manners. I work Monday to Friday but usually have a flexible schedule for drop ins and I’m available after work. I am open to coming to stay for house sittings during the week and working from your home when I can. Saturday to Sunday I have open availability. I will treat your home as I would want others to treat mine. I will keep your home tidy and clean up what I can so when you come home you can relax! Thorough details of how you want your pet and home to be cared for is always welcomed! I have a lot of plants so I don’t mind helping with any house plant care. For any overnight stays, please let me know what appliances I can or cannot use, where you would like for me to stay, etc. House sitting can be a tricky topic since the needs can vary so much between individuals. My house sitting base rate includes an overnight care (can adjust hours depending on your pet’s routine & this includes all potty breaks, snuggles, enrichment, etc while I’m in the home), midday potty break, meals, and one focused walk/exercise session (example: before dinner). If your pets need more exercise, care, or attention, this is not a problem! We can discuss additional drop ins and walks as needed and I can adjust the fees as appropriate.
About: Passionate for Paws! 🐾🐾❤️ I strongly believe that our furry loved ones deserve the utmost care while we're away. This can be fostered through a variety of pet sitting services, but for me, I love to help out by offering drop-in visits and in-home sitting. I've been pet sitting for over 6 years, and I've had cats and dogs my entire life (currently 6 cats and 2 dogs)! Taking care of animals is one of my passions, and I’m grateful I’ve had the opportunity to further develop it through pet sitting. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! Hope to see a message from you soon! 😁🐶🐱 Facebook Pet Sitting Page- @ Emma F's Pet Sitting I am attending college and have a part-time job, but I have many breaks during the day and look forward to making time for pet sitting. I pride myself in doing the best work possible to ensure an animal’s safety and comfortability in their own home. I stay in contact with pet parents and ask questions as they arise to make sure their furry friends are doing well.
About: I feel comfortable with dogs of any size, breed, or age. I am glad to follow any special instructions you give and do my best to keep your pets safe and as comfy as possible. I like to communicate or send pics while you're away so you can feel assured your pets are being well cared for. I have fostered many dogs (and adopted a few), so have experience with an array of personalities. I'm looking forward to meeting your pet family too. I work from 8 to 4:30 or 5, weekdays. Im happy to attend to your pets before and after work, in the evening and overnight, lunch breaks as well if needed. I prefer to "sitt" in your home in order to help keep them as comfy and on the same routine as possible. I believe in following the care instructions of the parents to a tee. I will give your fur babies lots of love and send you pics or videos if you'd like. I am trustworthy and dependable.
About: I’ve been around pets for as long as I can remember, so I’m very familiar with their daily needs, routines, and behavior. I also have experience dog sitting, where I’ve helped with walking, feeding, and spending time with pets. I bring strong responsibility and attentiveness from working in both an elementary school and a retirement home through Greencroft Communities! These experiences taught me how to follow detailed instructions, stay patient, and provide consistent, caring support in structured environments. I apply the same level of reliability and attention when caring for pets, making sure they are safe, comfortable, and well looked after during walks and sitting visits. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and am available most days. I enjoy a long walk with dogs if needed but short walks are perfect too! Drop-ins and sitting visits are something I will adjust my time as needed to provide consistent and reliable care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and respect for the home environment. I follow all provided instructions closely, maintain the pet’s normal routine, and make sure they feel comfortable and secure. I stay attentive during visits and communicate with owners if anything changes or needs attention. I treat each pet as if they were my own and focus on making sure they feel comfortable, calm, and well cared for while their owner is away.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters? I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s a slow walk for an older pup or high-energy playtime for a young one, I meet animals where they are. I have two dogs of my own—Theo and Sage—so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. Beyond personal experience, I have a BA in animal science and I’m currently in the process of earning my master’s degree in Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication, with a focus on companion animals. I also work as an assistant educator, so I bring a calm, thoughtful approach to every visit. I’m confident administering medications, caring for nervous or senior pets, and yes—I genuinely don’t mind deep-cleaning litter boxes. I treat every animal like family, with patience, care, and a whole lot of love I’m currently working full time until 3pm. However Whether it’s morning walks, meal times, or evening play sessions, I’m used to planning my day around pets’ needs. I live in a three-story townhouse with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable—whether they want to play or have their own quiet area. My own dogs are friendly, but I can easily keep pets separate if needed. I also have some dog training experience, so I’m confident handling different temperaments and routines. Your pet will be safe, loved, and well cared for here or in your home! I do ask that your pet be crate trained and doesn't bark in the crate since I do live very close to neighbors.

“We love Feiran’s home so much. Kukki got to have fun with many friends everyday. And enjoying the great companion from Feiran’s family. I received so many Video and pictures which help me so much while I’m on the trip. I would highly recommend Feiran to you!”
“Meghan took care of our dog while we are traveling over the holidays. When we had a family emergency come up and couldn't get back, she kindly offered to continue looking after him. We appreciate knowing that our dog is well taken care of in a difficult time. Will definitely book again.”
“I’ve left my puppy with Quinesha twice now, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again! She’s super nice, and my puppy absolutely adores her. She also sends plenty of photos and daily updates, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”
“Rae is a fantastic sitter! I've never felt more sure and comfortable about leaving my Izzy with anyone more than Rae and Maya. Very responsive to messages, and gives great updates with photos and videos - No anxiety here about how my dog is doing! And this last visit, Izzy was so exhausted she passed out when we got home (awesome for unloading our stuff from the trip). This is our second time using Rae's services, and we'll definitely be using her again! Thank you, Rae and Maya!”
“Katherine did an excellent job of taking care of my Winnie, a large, athletic dog who craves attention from people. Katherine kept her engaged, playing games with her and throwing the ball in the backyard. She clearly has a lot of experience with dogs. Winnie came home a very happy pup.”
“Rachel took care of our dog, Autumn, for the week between Christmas and New Years. She was wonderful! Her home is a warm, comfortable, friendly place for any pet, and she took Autumn on long engaging walks, and even hiking in nearby state parks. She sent regular photos, with heartwarming and hilarious descriptions of how Autumn was getting along with the cats and chickens. Rachel was super communicative, and we are so grateful she was able to accommodate pick up and drop off on holidays - not many folks can/will do that. It means the world to have found a sitter like Rachel; we will definitely reach out to her the next time we travel without our pup!”

“Hannah is amazing! She’s very flexible and accommodating, and always keeps me updated on Nikko with pictures. She’s trustworthy and caring. My epileptic dog had a seizure while staying with her, but she handled it calmly—administering his intranasal midazolam and giving his scheduled medications on time. I would definitely book with Hannah again!”
