“Jason and his family are amazing! They are caring and diligent and you can tell they really love dogs! The hardest part of going out of town is finding good care for our dogs, thankfully Jason has solved that problem! They took time to give us updates and pictures through the stay so we knew they were happy and well cared for. I highly recommend them!!”

About: I have been pet sitting for a year now and came to rover to expand my clientele while I am going to Southern Illinois University of Carbondale! I’m currently a student at SIU C. My days are usually pretty open and I have a flexible schedule weekends work for me as well! I have a big yard!! I can care for your dog or pup however you need me to and what’s comfortable for you and your pet! I do allow dogs on furniture!!
About: I’ve been taking care of pets all my life and try my best to create an stress-free and healthy environment for your pets and your peace of mind! I’m currently on a sporadic schedule which leaves me with a lot of time to take care of your pet and all their needs as well as give the support they deserve. I will make sure the environment is very stress-free and calm along with the potential need for discipline (which I will do as your directed desires.)
“I would 100% recommend erin! She is absolutely the best with our baby boy thor. Our dog could be a handful at times but he is the sweetest. You could just tell that they bonded for just even a few days we left him. I would not hesitate to leave him with her cause I know she will take good care of our boy! ?”

“Gabrielle took GREAT care of our dog while we were on vacation! She kept us updated, sent lots of pictures, and made sure he got plenty of walks. We will definitely be rebooking!”

About: I’ve had a dog of my own since 2018, Ciri and I started when she could fit in my hand. Since then, I’ve added two more dogs to the home and it’s come in all types. I’ve dealt with them deathly sick, scared, nervous, hyper, and sleepy. I work full time at SIUC, but my friend and roommate is a retired Army veteran who spends most of his time at home. Unless something very unexpected happens, the dogs are not left alone for more than 4 hours. My house has two separately fenced in yards and I have three friendly dogs of my own and my roommate has one cat. We’re laidback and at constant war with husky hair, but we get by with optional crating and indoor and outdoor time whenever your pup needs it.

“Rachelle was so great! She provided excellent care for our cat and gave me excellent updates. Even when our cat was not the most behaved, Rachelle handled it well and let us know right away. I would definitely use her services again!”

“Kim was great! She arrived on time and spent time with each of the kitties. She even went above and beyond and cleaned up a mess one of them had made! We will definitely have Kim stop by to check on the kitties next time we're out of town!”


“I’m so glad I found Laura to watch my two kitties! One of my cats can be tough to find a sitter for since he has a big personality and can get aggressive, but Laura was so patient and took things at a pace that made him feel comfortable. I loved seeing the photo updates of him calm and getting more relaxed with her each day. This was the first time I felt totally at ease leaving them with a sitter. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”

About: Hi, I am 20 years old and I’ve been raised with dogs my whole life, and even had plenty of experiences with other people’s fur babies! I worked in a dog daycare for a year so know how to adjust to your pets needs! I am currently a full time student at SIU and am looking for more to do in my free time! I might have to adjust times that you originally set but I will try my very best to stay as close as possible to the original time! Also I do not list Friday-Sunday as an availability because I am not always around so feel free to try and book and I can confirm or not if I am around! I always make sure the pets get lots of love and care and will always make sure they get the exercise they need, regardless if that’s taking them to the dog park on owners request or just throwing a toy in the backyard.

About: As a dog and cat owner myself, I totally get how nerve-wracking it is to leave your pets behind. You want someone you can actually trust to care for them like their own, and that’s exactly why I’m here! I’ve spent years looking after pets for my friends and family, working with animals of all ages and sizes—from energetic puppies and kittens to sweet seniors who need a gentler touch. I’m super comfortable with regular feedings, daily walks, drop-in visits, and sticking to whatever routines keep your pets happy. I’m open to whatever service you need and will send plenty of photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I'd love to meet you and your pets! I currently work part-time, which leaves my schedule super flexible! Pet care already fits naturally into my day-to-day life since I take care of my own dog and cat. With my open availability, I have plenty of time for walks, feedings, playtime, and drop-in visits. Whether you need mid-day check-ins, early morning visits, or weekend support, I can easily adapt my routine to fit your pet’s exact schedule. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for any pet! In your home, I strictly follow all your rules, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure meds or specific food routines are followed to a T. Since I have a dog and cat of my own, I’m used to keeping spaces clean, pet-proofed, and calm. I’m always attentive to how pets are feeling and will keep you updated every step of the way!
