“We were so pleased with the care that Diggy received from Melissa. Her place was neat and clean with a great fenced yard. She treated our pup like her own and we felt so good knowing that he was enjoying his time while we were away. Our family really enjoyed the picture updates that Melissa sent us so we could see that Diggy was doing well and having fun. Melissa was so accommodating and attentive to Digory, you can really tell that she cares about her own dogs and her doggy visitors. We will definitely book with Melissa again.”
“As a first-time Rover user and a nervous dog mom, I was hesitant to leave Banjo with anyone, especially since we just adopted him from a shelter. However, Jenelle completely exceeded my expectations. She was incredibly thoughtful and even suggested a meet-and-greet before the stay to make sure Banjo would be comfortable. She showed such patience and care with him, especially since he’s a shy and nervous dog. Throughout our trip, Jenelle kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which really helped ease my worries. Banjo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had the best time with Jenelle and her own dogs. I think he was a little upset that we were taking him home because he had so much fun!! We’re so grateful for her wonderful care and will absolutely be leaving Banjo with her for all our future trips. Highly recommend!!”
“Diana was wonderful with our Coco. She assured coco will be fine and kept responding promptly for all messages. She was accommodative of the pick up time change as well! Thanks Diana”
“Jennifer was fantastic with our two dogs. She met us prior to watching them to go over care and it was comforting knowing our dogs were in good hands. She is knowledgeable with dog care and you can tell she loves dogs. Someone was always with them during their stay. It's not necessary but I think being in a new home helped them be comfortable. She kept us updated with lots of pictures. They always looked happy and that made us happy. We totally recommend Jennifer if you're looking for a great dog sitter!”
“Wonderful! This was our first time using a sitter and she made sure to keep me updated with pictures throughout the day and what he was doing! She gave him a bath and was great with him! Definitely will be using her again, thank you!”
“From Sarah we got quick response, she sent pictures, she is very kind and did a great job taking care of Maggie. Maggie had a very good time with Sarah and her doggies. Definitely we would book with Sarah again.”
“Chelsey was very attentive to our dogs and kept us posted on how they were doing daily. They had a lot of fun playing with her dog as well. She has a fenced yard they enjoyed. They were very well cared for while we were out of town. I would definitely recommend her for dog care.”
“Lola and her family took awesome care of my pups Daisy and Marley. My dogs weren't used to being away from home so they took great care to help them adjust and make them feel comfortable in their home. Lola sent updates and pics throughout my dogs' stay. I definitely recommend Lola!”
“Kayla and her family made our dogs feel at home. They were well cared for, we got daily updates and pictures. I really appreciate knowing how they are while I’m gone. Our dogs were happy to see us, but went back in the house to say good bye to the family before saying good by to Kayla and her family. Thank you all for the care and love you gave our fur babies.”
“Hailey was kind and very friendly. She immediately connected with our fur baby. She was prompt in her communications with us and very thorough to ensure our dog would be a good fit. We are beyond thrilled to find her.”
“Jaden was wonderful. Very friendly and accommodating. Blue loved his stay with Jaden. She was always in touch with pictures and videos of blue’s stay. She went above and beyond to deliver a 5 star service. Would definitely recommend her to everyone. Thank you Jaden.”
“Faith did an excellent job taking care of my two dogs! She gave frequent updates and provided many pictures of them having a fun time. She offered some job observations of their behaviors and provided constructive recommendations. I plan on utilizing her again for dog sitting services.”
“Leslee was super nice and helped us out big time when we were in a pinch. Milford seemed to have a great stay and made himself right at home. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Sheila has been an amazing dog sitter. She kindly accepted my booking request even at the last minute and also accommodated a last-minute extension without any hesitation. Beanie was very happy playing with her dogs, and the large fenced yard gave them plenty of space to run and have fun. Sheila is very knowledgeable, and I felt completely confident leaving Beanie in her care. I would love to rebook with her the next time I need a sitter.”
“Rachelle is such a great sitter, Our pup Layla loves staying over and getting play time with Rizzo. Layla is a high energy pup and Rachelle is great with her. Rachelle is so nice and goes above and beyond to work with us when we are scheduling and constantly keeps us up to date with how the visit is going while we are away. I highly recommend Rachelle and I know our pup looks forward to future visits!”
“Emily and her family were really nice to my cat! She send me updates/pictures throughout the day and answered quickly. Emily had a lot of toys for cats and Suki loved them. Will definitely recommend her and will use her service again in the near future!”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat pets as members of the family, not just animals I’m watching. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, including shy or nervous dogs who need extra patience to build trust. I’m attentive to details, follow routines closely, and understand how important consistency is for a pet’s comfort and well-being. Because I care for my own dogs daily, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels and communicating concerns promptly. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also respecting each pet’s individual needs and boundaries. My goal is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owners are away, and for owners to have peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving personalized care. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have two dogs, so I’m used to feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, monitoring behavior, and making sure they get plenty of attention throughout the day. I also stay on top of things like cleaning up after them, maintaining their routine, and watching for any signs that something might be off. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so fitting pet care into my day feels very natural. In my home, pets are treated like family. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and playtime. I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment where pets receive plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. I closely monitor their behavior, appetite, and energy levels and will follow any instructions regarding medications, dietary needs, or special care. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while they are in my care.

“Aubrey was available on short notice and did a great job taking care of our cat. She was attentive to his habits and notified us when something deviated from normal so that we could take action to put things back on track. I hope Aubrey will be available to care for our cat again!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover since I was little. Throughout college I have done all sorts of pet/house sitting for friends, family, coworkers etc. I have house sat for a family friend that required feeding and watering horses, milking goats, reptile care, rabbit cleaning care, medicating cats/dogs if needed, you name it. I currently have a Corn Snake, a Western Plains Hognose Snake as well as a Crested Gecko. I have been a Veterinary Receptionist for over 5 and a half years now. I was also an Animal Keeper for about a year with native Illinois Wildlife (including black bears, cougars & bobcats). I am currently transitioning to being a Veterinary Assistant so I am gaining new skills weekly! Currently working a max of 30 hours at my day job as a Veterinary Assistant but recently have been working less. Typically I have Sundays and Wednesdays off during the week but sometimes get another random week day off depending on how busy we are at the clinic. My shifts can vary from 8am to 2pm; 8am to 4pm; 9am to 3pm; 9am to 5pm or even 8am to 6:30pm. The earlier I’m off during the day I am able to help after that too. Your home is their home. I will cater to your pet based on what they like or need. If they just need someone to keep them company I’m there. I will treat your space with respect and follow any instructions given. My pets are family and are treated as such so the same would go for your kiddos.
“Cassy is really great! She was very patient with me because this is my first time using Rover. She even helped us do extra work like cleaning the litter and cats’ throw-up on floor. Really sweet. We are 100% satisfied.”
About: Veterinary Technician and cat enthusiast, I would love to help provide enrichment for your purrfect pal while you're busy or away! Whether young or old, all cats deserve a little play time!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleanup, and administering basic medications when needed. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs and personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being. I work full time for USPS as a mail carrier. I have two days off each week. I’m always off Sundays. Once I’m off work usually around 5/6pm I’m free! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment in my home, free of hazards and closely supervised at all times. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special requirements. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine to help them feel secure and stress-free. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure and I provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and genuine care, and I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet—and your home—in someone else’s hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and dependable experience for both you and your pet.
“Ali is fantastic!! Both of my cats took to her very quickly, even the one who doesn’t like ANYONE. She sent the cutest pictures everyday and even clipped their nails! Ali was great!”
“Amanda was wonderful! I reached out short notice while I was out of town and my wife had a longer day at work than usual. She did a drop-in visit for our two dogs and everything went smoothly. We’d happily book again!”
“Very professional sitter; we had a short in person meeting before the appointments to go over my cats' feeding schedule and she was sure to send update pictures of them at each visit. Definitely would book her again!”
“Theo was wonderful! They were very communicative, friendly, and easy to work with. They took great care of my cats while I was away. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needed someone to look after their pets”
About: I have been taking care of various sized animals for the past several years. I am comfortable giving medications if need be and following any special instructions you may have for your four-legged babies! I am currently in college classes full time Monday-Thursday, however after 1pm I am fully available! This is not a hindrance at all when caring for your pets in your home. I prefer to stay in your home if watching your animals for an extended period of time, but if you are not comfortable with that I certainly understand and am happy to visit your house throughout the day as needed to attend to your furry loved ones!
“Very patient with my shy kitty, she eventually warmed up to them! Friendly and responsive to questions, drop ins went smoothly. Even brought in a package that came while I was out. No hesitation, Will use them again!”
About: The cat obsession is strong in our household. We currently share our home with four beloved felines, all of whom are well-cared for, thoroughly spoiled, and learning to adjust to our new 8-month old puppy. My children (ages 16 and 12) actively help with their daily care. My oldest has built a particularly close bond with one of our cats, who he lovingly calls his best friend, and the feeling is mutual. Over the past 11 years, our family has gained significant hands-on experience in feline care, including behavioral support, managing multiple-cat households, and responding to health issues. We’ve navigated several medical concerns with our cats, from joint pain and feline asthma (requiring a Canada-only inhaler and daily monitoring) to prescription diets and emergency vet visits. While not every scare turned out to be serious, each one taught us something new — and reinforced our commitment to keeping our pets calm, comfortable, and cared for. I’ve administered medications to cats including insulin, oral meds, ear drops, and inhalers. I’m always happy to follow your preferred routine — whether through a video or in-person tutorial — to ensure consistency and reduce stress for your pet. Should your animal require urgent care and I’m available to assist, I’m familiar with both Morton Animal Hospital and Banfield Pet Hospital and would be glad to help. If more advanced care is needed beyond general visits or drop-ins, I’m happy to adjust the rate accordingly and discuss any additional support your pet may require.

“Khanh was very nice. She paid close attention to Casper and took good care of him. She kept me updated on his stay and took plenty of pictures to show me he was okay. I really appreciate her care.”
About: I used to volunteer at an animal shelter, and I learned how to attentively take instructions when it came to the care of an animal. I have dealt with dogs and cats that have digestive issues, as well as knowing my way around taking care of (oral) medication. I am also used to dogs or cats that need daily exercise or some that are very energetic and need a lot of attention. Before moving to New Mexico, I had two dogs, and I was always keen on keeping them safe + well taken care of, but most importantly, checking that they were always happy and healthy. And I would be honored to take care of your pet in the same manner. Because I am searching for work, all of my time is dedicated to Rover at the moment. I am available every day of the week. I have a two bedroom apartment and two cats, so I cannot board any fur babies in my home unless you are absolutely sure they are okay around cats. On the other hand, I can guarantee that I will keep an eye on any pets I take care of in a client's home, as well as provide updates based on your preference!
About: I've watched dogs and cats of friends, family and strangers on and off for the past 10 years. I have experienced with small to XL dogs, young and older! I’m a stay at home mom. Our boys are rarely home alone for more than a couple hours at a time, a couple days a week. I have a fenced yard and two boys that are ready to play. They have unlimited access to the yard, toys and water. We have a cat who is very friendly, but will most likely keep to himself.
About: Finding the right sitter matters — especially when your dog needs more than just a walk and a bowl refill. That’s where I come in. I have over 15 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs and behaviorally challenging cases, I’ve cared for and handled dogs with a wide range of needs. My background includes extensive volunteer work at animal shelters, where I gained valuable experience reading canine body language, managing stress, and working safely with dogs that require extra patience and structure. In 2021, I earned my Certified Dog Trainer credential through Animal Behavior College, and I continue my education through Leerburg University, focusing on canine behavior, handling, and communication. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach — every dog is different, and I tailor my care to what helps your dog feel safe, calm, and confident. If you’ve been told your dog is “too difficult” or “too much” for most sitters, I encourage you to reach out. I have experience with reactive, anxious, high-drive, and medically complex dogs, including administering medications and injections when needed. My goal is not just to watch your dog, but to advocate for them while you’re away. For safety and individualized care, I only accept one family of dogs at a time. This allows me to focus fully on your dog’s routine, comfort, and well-being — no overcrowding, no chaos. I’d love to schedule a meet & greet so we can make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. You’ll leave knowing your dog is in capable, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring hands. Thanks for stopping by my profile — I look forward to meeting you and your best friend soon. I'm hoping to make canine boarding/training my new job. I still work full time in a hybrid remote role. I will only accept boarding reservations where I know I will be home. I prefer to exercise dogs by walking them, but will do anything to keep your friends on their own routine. Anything you can share with me about your dogs preferred routine will help me keep their schedule as normal as possible.
“Rachelle was wonderfully attentive and extremely helpful when our family needed help with Levi. She accommodated his needs and understood our scheduling needs. Her home and pups were extremely welcoming and Levi had a delightful day being loved and cared for by Rachelle and playing with her pack!”
“Karen is a great pup sitter!! My dog responded to her right away and it was very obvious that she had a great time with Karen and her 2 furbabies. Was very comfortable leaving my pup at her home in her care.”

About: I grew up on a farm taking care of all sorts of animals including my dog. I love anything from energetic runners to gentle giants. I'm working online setting my own schedule, so I can make time whenever needed! The only time I'm unavailable would be Sunday mornings. I give lots of love to pets, often choosing to sit on the floor where they can reach me. I'm very careful about watching for animals scratching where they shouldn't be.
“Keyonnah is so nice and is very responsive to my last minute requests. I’ll be having foot surgery soon and will be using her as my dog walker during recovery. Rina loves her!!!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands on experience caring for pups of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I currently have two amazing dogs of my own. Khloe is a resilient 11 year old that has overcome major medical challenges, including a leg amputation and daily medication routines, and Oakley is an energetic 2 year old who keeps life exciting! Because of my own dogs, I’m no stranger to giving medication (including injections), working with limited mobility or vision, and supporting senior pets with the extra care they need. Whether your dog is a bouncing puppy or a gentle senior, I’ll treat them like family with playtime and plenty of belly rubs. I’d love to help care for your furry friend while you’re away! I work second shift, so I’m available in the mornings and early afternoons to care for your pet! I also live very close to work and am able to run home on breaks to see my dogs. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make sure every dog gets the exercise and fresh air they need with daily walks, just like I do with my own pups. For dogs with limited mobility or who tire easily, I even have a wagon that I use to wheel them around so they can still enjoy the outdoors safely and comfortably, something I do often for my senior, three-legged dog. Inside my home, I provide a calm, structured environment. I have two crates available and can accommodate both crate trained dogs and those who prefer to free roam. I always take the time to understand each dog’s routine and personality so I can tailor their care, whether that’s sticking to a medication schedule, providing quiet time, or making sure they have plenty of play and affection. In a client’s home, I aim to follow your routines as closely as possible to keep your pup comfortable and stress free while you’re away. My top priority is always the safety, happiness, and well-being of your dog.
“Amanda was an outstanding dog walker. She was always on time, communicated openly and often, and was much loved by our dog Pico. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a walking companion for their four-legged friend.”
“Corette took excellent care of Gus today when he had a change in his usual demeanor and was sick. She waited at home with him until I could meet her and take him to the vet.”
“Glen has been great to work with and my Sasha just loves him. She will lay by the door and wait for her buddy. He has been walking her daily for over a year now, never had a schedule conflict or a "No show", and if I had to adjust something I can almost always expect the return text to read "Ok sounds good". He is so easy to work with, very pleased with the service!”

I have a number of parks near me I don’t mind going to for active play! I also have a lovable lab who like to make new friends, and plenty of treats! If I care in your home, I’ll make sure to stick to any personal comfort measures!
“Katie is WONDERFUL!! Wags, my overweight beagle (who lets me live there with my cat Top!) is already showing signs of having more energy. When I come home, he is bouncing up and down to meet me. It has been a while since he had this energy; I know it’s ALL because of Katie walking Wags! Besides this, Wag’s loves Katie and didn’t give me a second look when she came for him!!!♥️♥️”

About: I have raised 3 dogs in my life, starting from puppy care to senior care. All being large breed dogs. I have also dog sit for a number of dogs ranging from small to large. I am flexible with my job to be able to check in on your pet at the most affective time! I am located in the Peoria area! I have a lot of patience with animals and make sure to fit their needs. By listening to the animal and seeing their body language I am able to adjust to how I should act and what I should do. I have had experience with crate training, walking with different leashes, and more!
About: Hello! I am very passionate about dogs and will provide loving, patient care while you are away from home. I have fostered many puppies and adult dogs in my home through a dog rescue in California for 5 years, and continue to do the online work for that rescue from my home in Illinois. I have two fur babies of my own Espresso and Lucy, and our two cats mostly hang out in whatever room the dogs are not in :) We have a secure, fenced backyard with room to run. Dog cuddling and treats are a staple here, as well as walks, frequent potty breaks and playing with toys! My six year old daughter loves dogs but also respects boundaries and will leave them alone if they don’t want attention. I am prompt, professional and respond to texts/calls in a timely manner. Please contact me if you have any questions! I am a stay at home mom attending school online, so frequent potty breaks, cuddles and playtime are constantly available to them, or whatever else they might need. I have a fenced in yard and ample room to get the zoomies out. Dogs are welcome on the couch and I have a few dog beds available too.

“As a first-time Rover user and a nervous dog mom, I was hesitant to leave Banjo with anyone, especially since we just adopted him from a shelter. However, Jenelle completely exceeded my expectations. She was incredibly thoughtful and even suggested a meet-and-greet before the stay to make sure Banjo would be comfortable. She showed such patience and care with him, especially since he’s a shy and nervous dog. Throughout our trip, Jenelle kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which really helped ease my worries. Banjo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had the best time with Jenelle and her own dogs. I think he was a little upset that we were taking him home because he had so much fun!! We’re so grateful for her wonderful care and will absolutely be leaving Banjo with her for all our future trips. Highly recommend!!”
“Diana was wonderful with our Coco. She assured coco will be fine and kept responding promptly for all messages. She was accommodative of the pick up time change as well! Thanks Diana”
“Jennifer was fantastic with our two dogs. She met us prior to watching them to go over care and it was comforting knowing our dogs were in good hands. She is knowledgeable with dog care and you can tell she loves dogs. Someone was always with them during their stay. It's not necessary but I think being in a new home helped them be comfortable. She kept us updated with lots of pictures. They always looked happy and that made us happy. We totally recommend Jennifer if you're looking for a great dog sitter!”
“From Sarah we got quick response, she sent pictures, she is very kind and did a great job taking care of Maggie. Maggie had a very good time with Sarah and her doggies. Definitely we would book with Sarah again.”

“Lola and her family took awesome care of my pups Daisy and Marley. My dogs weren't used to being away from home so they took great care to help them adjust and make them feel comfortable in their home. Lola sent updates and pics throughout my dogs' stay. I definitely recommend Lola!”
“Kayla and her family made our dogs feel at home. They were well cared for, we got daily updates and pictures. I really appreciate knowing how they are while I’m gone. Our dogs were happy to see us, but went back in the house to say good bye to the family before saying good by to Kayla and her family. Thank you all for the care and love you gave our fur babies.”

“Sheila has been an amazing dog sitter. She kindly accepted my booking request even at the last minute and also accommodated a last-minute extension without any hesitation. Beanie was very happy playing with her dogs, and the large fenced yard gave them plenty of space to run and have fun. Sheila is very knowledgeable, and I felt completely confident leaving Beanie in her care. I would love to rebook with her the next time I need a sitter.”

Rachelle is so nice and goes above and beyond to work with us when we are scheduling and constantly keeps us up to date with how the visit is going while we are away. I highly recommend Rachelle and I know our pup looks forward to future visits!”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat pets as members of the family, not just animals I’m watching. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, including shy or nervous dogs who need extra patience to build trust. I’m attentive to details, follow routines closely, and understand how important consistency is for a pet’s comfort and well-being. Because I care for my own dogs daily, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels and communicating concerns promptly. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also respecting each pet’s individual needs and boundaries. My goal is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owners are away, and for owners to have peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving personalized care. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have two dogs, so I’m used to feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, monitoring behavior, and making sure they get plenty of attention throughout the day. I also stay on top of things like cleaning up after them, maintaining their routine, and watching for any signs that something might be off. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so fitting pet care into my day feels very natural. In my home, pets are treated like family. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and playtime. I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment where pets receive plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. I closely monitor their behavior, appetite, and energy levels and will follow any instructions regarding medications, dietary needs, or special care. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while they are in my care.
“Having peace of mind knowing your little family is always ok when you’re needing someone who knows what you need for you to be able to leave and never have a second thought about they’re safety and comfort is important and number 1 to all those involved and invested in your life that’s important!!”
“Jocelyn did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our fur baby, Stetson, while we were out of town. It’s never easy leaving your dog behind, but she made the whole experience so much easier and stress-free. She kept us updated with tons of pictures and messages, which meant the world to us when we were really missing him. You can tell she genuinely cares and treats your pet like her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend Jocelyn to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to watch their pup!”
“Wonderful and so friendly! Wrigley felt very at home here, Hector made him feel comfortable and not alone. It was our first time trying this service and we are beyond amazed with Hector’s hospitality, constant care, and daily updates! He provided pictures through out the day, genuinely listened to us, and ask questions to better help him really understand Wrigley and his needs. Would definitely rebook no questions asked!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleanup, and administering basic medications when needed. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs and personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being. I work full time for USPS as a mail carrier. I have two days off each week. I’m always off Sundays. Once I’m off work usually around 5/6pm I’m free! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment in my home, free of hazards and closely supervised at all times. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special requirements. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine to help them feel secure and stress-free. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure and I provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and genuine care, and I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet—and your home—in someone else’s hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and dependable experience for both you and your pet.
