I'm so happy Mya is the sitter I chose. Her back yard is a PUPPY PARADISE... I'm used to apartment living and having to leash walk Luci several times a day. But at Mya's house, Luci can run around in a big secure fenced-in yard with lush grass. It was like a real vacation for her. Mya has cameras on her phone so she can watch the dogs when she's away from the house. She is so chill and welcoming. I brought up my dog's behavioral issues, and she really took the time during the initial meeting to make sure her 4 pups and mine were going to get along OK, and to answer any questions I might have. Her small dogs are very sweet, and Luci made fast friends with them. I got updates with photos and video every day. Overall it was an amazing experience, and I hope we get to make this a more regular thing. Would rate 6 stars if I could.

I can't say enough great things about Ruth! She took excellent care of our 2 dogs while we went on vacation for a week. She provided them with snuggles, walks, and social time and provided us with peace of mind so we could relax. She sent us a few pictures and even some videos! I highly recommend Ruth and we look forward to seeing her again in the future!

Tammy and her family were amazing! Eli loved running around in the big fenced yard and playing with Ranger. He felt right at home and was napping on the couch in no time. We enjoyed getting updates when we were away and felt confident that Eli was in good hands. Very experienced family of pet sitters. Would recommend and hope they are available again to watch Eli.

This was our first experience with Rover.com and Nellie had a wonderful time at Karen's "pet resort." I'm not certain there could be a better set up for a "city" dog to play on a farm. Karen has an amazing fenced area with lots of opportunity for interaction with her dogs as well as others. She has a great set up for outside play and indoor boarding. I felt very comfortable leaving Nellie in Karen's care.

About: I've sat for many different breeds and species over the years. I grew up always having some type of animal in the home, especially dogs. I have two dogs and a cat now. I love cooking for them and knowing exactly what is going in their food. I love making home made treats for them as well. I even sew for them at times. I've made boots, coats, beds, Halloween costumes, toys, etc. Right now, my schedule is pretty flexible, which means I have lots of time to dedicate purely to furkids. I am close with a professional dog trainer and am able to ask any question, which is always a big help. My vet has great hours and very accessible as well for any questions or concerns.

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a young child & doggos have always been a special part of my life! They become important family members who give & get the unconditional love we all deserve! It’s hard some times when life takes us away from home & our doggies for longer than we’d like. Exactly the reason I would be the perfect person to love, snuggle, take care of & give your dogs the attention they want and need while you’re away or busy! puppers will always be able to depend on seeing my kind face and caring hand at times like these. Just as they support our emotional needs on a daily basis, I have come to love returning the small favor for them! I am home full time & dedicate my day to taking care of my kids, my doggo, my 2 docile kittens & my household. My time is not limited. My kids and I love to take walks with the dog, go to local dog parks occasionally when they are empty & clean, & play fetch in our large, clean yard!

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship while owners are away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their routine, and I do my best to keep things familiar and stress-free. I’m reliable, attentive, and always treat every dog with care and patience. I maintain a very flexible routine and am home the majority of the day. I do volunteer a few hours daily, but I’m otherwise available to care for pets, provide attention, and keep them on their normal schedule. Dogs in my care will have a stable environment, regular potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every dog in my care. I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and kept in a clean, secure space where they can relax and feel at home.

HIRE CHRIS. I won the lottery with him. It was my first time using Rover. I have a special needs rabbit who needed a caretaker after a rabbit boarding service was no longer available. I messaged several sitters and Chris was the first to respond. He is responsive and communicative. What I absolutely love about Chris, among many things, is that he asks questions. Not in a "what do I do" kind of way. Rather, "how do I do this to make sure it's done correctly". My special needs rabbit is on a specialized diet. I left Chris with instructions, which he followed to a tee, but he also sent a photo of the food. (My rabbit is feed very soft, watered down pellets and Critical Care due to recent dental surgery). I'm happy that he did because my rabbit can't chew on pellets. He sent lots of photos of Moo, too. Chris was also flexible with the initial meet 'n' greet appointment and visiting my landlord's office to pick up my front door key (which has to be loaned out). One of the reasons I chose Chris was his close proximity to my apartment. I will 5000% hire Chris again for my rabbit sitting needs. He took great care of my very special needs rabbit and Moo liked him too! I recommend him for your pet sitting needs, including small mammals!

Our dog Oliver had his first Rover experience two days ago. It couldn’t have been any better. Angy has a little 5 lb dog so the two dogs played and cuddled all day. Angy and her husband showed genuine concern for our dog’s well being. Oliver came home a very happy and tired dog. Finding Angy was a big blessing.

About: Nestled in the quiet countryside, I offer loving, in-home boarding for dogs and cats in a peaceful, natural setting. With plenty of fresh air, daily walks, and attentive care, your pets are treated like family while they’re away from home. Able to care for animals at all stages in their life. I love taking long walks with canine companions! Your dogs will not be unleashed on a walk unless your specify! A client’s cat or dog fits naturally into my daily routine because their care is built around their needs, not a rigid schedule. Each day follows a calm, predictable flow—morning feedings, medications if needed, fresh air, walks or supervised outdoor time for dogs, and quiet check-ins or play for cats—mirroring what they’re used to at home as closely as possible. Throughout the day, I weave in one-on-one attention, enrichment, rest, and observation, so pets aren’t just “fit in,” but thoughtfully included in a rhythm that keeps them comfortable, engaged, and well cared for from morning to night. Tailoring your services starts with seeing each pet as an individual, not a “one-size-fits-all” guest. Begin with a detailed intake or meet-and-greet to learn the pet’s routine, personality, energy level, medical needs, fears, and preferences. From there, you can adjust care in a few key ways: • Routine-based care: Match feeding times, walk schedules, playtime, and sleep habits as closely as possible to what the pet is used to at home. • Personality-aware handling: Offer extra quiet and space for shy or senior pets, more structured play and exercise for high-energy dogs, and gentle, low-stress interactions for anxious animals. • Health-focused support: Follow specific instructions for medications, mobility limits, special diets, or senior care, and keep careful notes so nothing is missed. • Environment choices: Decide whether a pet thrives with social interaction or prefers solo time, indoor lounging, or outdoor exploration in your country setting.

About: I am open to most pets. Cats, Dogs, Horses, Calves, Lambs, Guinea Pigs, Turtles, etc..... If extra special care or out of state, I do charge travel fees. I do have experience with older pets and young ones. I have been known to raise Opossums from the size of mice to adults. If that gives you an idea! I am open to new proposals and willing to negotiate new situations! (Unencountered situations when it comes to pets) I also House-sit, plants, pets etc... I do travel out of state to Illinois (Mostly the North suburbs of Chicago) and Wisconsin. This is where I have done house-sitting. Pets and Plants can be included in this care. I do add travel expenses, mainly for gas, when traveling for house sitting. I get up in the morning and get my coffee going and then tend to pets that are around. They get fed first thing, inside and outside. Feral cats seem to be present in the morning. Litter boxes are checked. Water Bowls. Mostly I go to people's homes and care for the pets at their houses, but I have had people bring them to me. I have an extra room set up in my barn if there are anxieties or stress with animals and they need a quiet place. I am in the process of updating that room a little more. It is heated for the winter months. I do have hand brushes and combs for extra attention and I do go talk to whoever is around. If dogs come, they can be walked. Although I live in a small town, I am close to nice places to walk on the edge of town.

I’m currently not working, so I will have tons of time to play and care for your pups. I’m available for boarding through out the week. I can give your dogs walks and have plenty of time for play. I would give your dog the same love as if it was my own.

About: I own two high energy dogs, Josie and Stella, both raised from puppies, so I know how stressful puppy parenting can be. Growing up on a farm surrounded by animals is where I developed my love for caring for them, and it’s where I learned responsibility. We often head to the farm for extra playtime and walks, so your pup will have plenty of fun, exercise, and love no energy left behind! I’m currently in school for respiratory therapy, so I’ve cut back on my hours. I work most weekends 2-10:30. Then a few shifts throughout the week occasionally. Other than that, I’m pretty available around my work and school schedule, and I can’t wait to care for and love your animals! I have two friendly, high energy dogs who love to play! While we don’t have a fenced yard, we’re lucky to have country property with plenty of space to walk around the fields.

About: I have cared for puppies and senior dogs within a doggy daycare setting. I have administered medication/insulin. I always make sure they use their energy. I currently am working part time at a doggy daycare. So I will have plenty of time to make sure your animals are cared for. I always make sure they are well taken care of and always get the utmost amount of love and care they deserve. Along with treats.

About: I'd like to start by saying I am located in Whiteside County for the time being. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!!! Take a look at my reviews also for extra confidence. If you choose me your fur babies will be in good hands! <3 I'm flexible as I work from home. Right now over the summer I'm only accepting smaller dogs, two a day -only- (I have a few dogs myself). As long as your dogs get along with others and like children we should be good 👌 I prefer to do drop ins and right now I'm not able to stay over night in anyone's home so I apologize in advance. I have a smaller fenced area and a huge yard. I also have dogs of my own so lots of friends to be made! My dogs are the friendliest dogs and have plenty of experience with other animals. :)

About: I've sat for many different breeds and species over the years. I grew up always having some type of animal in the home, especially dogs. I have two dogs and a cat now. I love cooking for them and knowing exactly what is going in their food. I love making home made treats for them as well. I even sew for them at times. I've made boots, coats, beds, Halloween costumes, toys, etc. Right now, my schedule is pretty flexible, which means I have lots of time to dedicate purely to furkids. I am close with a professional dog trainer and am able to ask any question, which is always a big help. My vet has great hours and very accessible as well for any questions or concerns.

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a young child & doggos have always been a special part of my life! They become important family members who give & get the unconditional love we all deserve! It’s hard some times when life takes us away from home & our doggies for longer than we’d like. Exactly the reason I would be the perfect person to love, snuggle, take care of & give your dogs the attention they want and need while you’re away or busy! puppers will always be able to depend on seeing my kind face and caring hand at times like these. Just as they support our emotional needs on a daily basis, I have come to love returning the small favor for them! I am home full time & dedicate my day to taking care of my kids, my doggo, my 2 docile kittens & my household. My time is not limited. My kids and I love to take walks with the dog, go to local dog parks occasionally when they are empty & clean, & play fetch in our large, clean yard!

I can't say enough great things about Ruth! She took excellent care of our 2 dogs while we went on vacation for a week. She provided them with snuggles, walks, and social time and provided us with peace of mind so we could relax. She sent us a few pictures and even some videos! I highly recommend Ruth and we look forward to seeing her again in the future!

Tammy and her family were amazing! Eli loved running around in the big fenced yard and playing with Ranger. He felt right at home and was napping on the couch in no time. We enjoyed getting updates when we were away and felt confident that Eli was in good hands. Very experienced family of pet sitters. Would recommend and hope they are available again to watch Eli.

This was our first experience with Rover.com and Nellie had a wonderful time at Karen's "pet resort." I'm not certain there could be a better set up for a "city" dog to play on a farm. Karen has an amazing fenced area with lots of opportunity for interaction with her dogs as well as others. She has a great set up for outside play and indoor boarding. I felt very comfortable leaving Nellie in Karen's care.

Erika was wonderful taking care of our Lance during the holiday. We would have loved to take him with us, but it is too stressful for Lance. Lance was very happy to stay with Erika as she has a pup of her own. Yay for a playmate!

Book a sitting with me today for an excellent, safety conscious visit for your sweet fur baby! I work during the week so this leaves me open to schedule sittings on Friday and weekends.I can come to you or well behaved dogs are welcome in my home on weekends. My schedule can be flexible. Generally Friday- Sunday evening but flexible. I care for the fur babies in the manner they are accustomed to. This keeps everyone happy. I try to do whatever the pup is used to.
