“My puppy Onyx had a blast I was a little fearful because I just got him and he’s so small. He stayed overnight and when I dropped him off he was a little timid. By the time I returned the next morning he was running around with her lab like they were old friends. I would definitely recommend Shannon for your furry kids.”
“I was a little worried when I dropped cloudy off. This was the first time he ever went to someone besides family, but Ms. Leah made me feel so comfortable and Cloudy had so much fun over there. I appreciate her and her time and all she did to make this a great experience. I recommend her a 100 out of a 100 thank you so much,”
“Adela was awesome! She took great care of my dog Ellie for a few days. She was extremely welcoming and answered any questions I had prior to Ellie’s stay.Her communication skills were on point as well. She put my mind at ease each day by sending updates and lots of pictures :) I think it’s safe to say that my dog really enjoyed her stay. We will def book again with her in the future.”
“Our pup did great at Mandi’s! I didn’t have to worry at all because she sent pictures of his day and an update of what he did. She was so sweet to send him home with a personalized bandana and a jar of homemade treats! Definitely recommend!”

“Thank you Sarah for taking care of our Pepper! She had plenty of room for herself, and plenty of room to play with the other pups! She seemed to enjoy herself from the pictures I received while staying with Sarah! I will definitely use her the next time we need a pup sitter!”
“Book with Tina & Bob! This was our first time using rover for our senior cockapoo. She stayed multiple nights with Tina & Bob and they treated her like their own. Their house was beautiful and Grace had the perfect setup. They took such care to the smallest details and kept us informed. They are genuine, good people that are a hidden gem on this app. They are true animal lovers that will love your dog like family. We can’t wait to go back. Thanks Tina & Bob!!”
“What a great experience. Eboni provided updates and a ton of pictures to let me know how my Serena was doing while we we apart. I didn't have a worry in the world when I saw the smiles she had on her face and her playing with the other dogs in the big backyard. If you need a dog sitter, Ebony is the best.”
“Laura is awesome! Very kind clearly loves dogs and sent me videos and photos every day. My dog came back super happy and tired from a good day running around her yard.”
“My girls enjoyed their stay. The only problem I had was my Ginger tried to make me be a doggy door when we got home. She wanted to run in and out like she had gotten used to. I felt completely at ease leaving them in her care and would use her again without hesitation.”
“Excellent pet sitter! She boarded our puppy for two nights and took great care of her. Our puppy came home happy, healthy, and well-loved. Great communication and a caring environment. Highly recommend!”

“This was my first experience with Rover. It was absolutely great working with Christina. She was amazing to communicate with and very responsive to any questions and concerns. I got so many pictures of my baby and was kept updated the whole time it was amazing. My baby came home exhausted and just happy. He looked happy in the pictures too. This was just a great experience overall. We will definitely seek Christina out for future care. Thank you for taking such good care of my fur baby.”

Jenny shared many photos so I could see my girl was doing well and I returned home to a very well cared for and happy cat.”

They sent me daily pictures and kept in contact and promptly responded back when I sent a text. It was such a relief having someone to depend on when out of town. Don’t hesitate to have Mae stay with your animals… they will be happy and you will be at ease as well. Thank you Mae!! Will definitely use them again!!”

About: I have 10+ years of experience with animals. Growing up by a dirt road in Alabama , we always had strays make their way to us. We took care of them until their next home. Weather it was dog, cats, goats or turtles etc. I was there to make sure they had a friend. I’ve taken college corses on training dogs although didn’t finish due to becoming a mother so im well educated in understanding dogs and able to tendbto thier needs/prefacence. We have a large backyard fenced, covered & partly enclosed patio & love to give. Animals are truly a wonderful being to have around and I want to teach my children the importance of them. Dogs of all sizes are welcomed although I do prefer them to be house/potty trained due to my youngest boys running around. I take my oldest son to library/park at times we can spend anywhere between 1-4 hours there (if a dog is leash trained very well I'm okay bringing them to the park with us & I pick up my youngest from his program at 3pm (right down the road) other than weekly/biweekly grocery/shopping trips,and random fun days, we are at the house. We treat your dog like our family so that means ofc they are allowed on the couch and we have a fenced in back yard & covered patio while we love to spend time outside so you can be assured majority of the time we will be right there beside em. I do have a cat who spends majority of the time in our bedroom.

During the weekends, I spend my time playing with my dog, going to the dog park, or cuddling on the couch. If this sounds like something, your dog would enjoy, they would fit right in! I have a partially fenced in backyard with only one side of the yard not being fully fenced. I have a yard steak that can be put in the ground that extends throughout most of the yard so that your dog can feel just as free as if the yard was completely fenced. When my dog is outside, I am either outside with her or watching her from the big windows in my home that face the backyard to always make sure she’s being safe. During the day, the doors are always closed and treats are always put up to avoid any overindulgence or escaping the home when I am unaware.

About: I have grown up in a household with dogs, mainly the medium to large sized breeds. I have experience with all sizes of dogs though, as I have taken care of a variety of sized dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. I have taken care of cats and dogs when needing medical care - especially giving meds and minor wound care - and also have groomed and walked many types and sizes of dogs. I love making sure the pets are healthy and happy. I have volunteered at an animal shelter to help with the care of animals - providing play time, meds, and grooming of both dogs and cats. I'm currently a full time student at SIUE and I'm in the MFA art studio program. For summer 2026 semester my schedule is Mon-Fri for a few hours in July. For fall I have classes Monday through Friday for a few hours at a time. Weekends I'm generally free. For drop ins and walks, I'll work with you to figure out the best time(s) based upon my schedule and distance from campus. During house sitting, I can provide food, medicine, play time, walks, and many other services. I also am willing to assist with house related things - bringing in mail, taking trash out for trash pickup, etc - just let me know and we can work it out. For walks and drop ins, in addition to the service, I can provide some house related services (like bring in mail and packages) upon request. I am available to help with the pets at the clients home. I can either stay at your place or go home at night, which I can work with you based on your needs and comfort. I have experience with gated and non gated yards (so needing to leash the dog when taking out for the potty), gates for inside the house, and crate training. Often I will have my own leash with me so that if anything happens, I'm prepared. As for walks, I often work with the dog(s) to see what triggers them and avoid as much as possible. I know not all dogs are friendly with other dogs or people so I am aware of my surroundings and provide appropriate distance to avoid people and dogs as best as I can.
“Joy went out of her way to meet our dogs beforehand. She was kind and attentive, she sent photos of our boys while she was there. Will definitely be using her again!!”

About: Hi, thank you so much for stopping by to read through my profile. I have loved and taken care of friend’s and family’s dogs for years. Big, small, medium, even tempered, wild, mellow- I absolutely love them all. I have a 12 year old lab, who has slowed down a lot. She is my everything. I find something about raising a dog from a young pup to an aging one, so very special and rewarding. If your dog is fast paced or likes to smell every blade of grass, I’m game. Rain, shine, or snow, I’m available. I’d absolutely appreciate it if you gave me the opportunity to spoil your dog, not just walk or watch. I understand these are your babies. My house is set up well with a fenced in back yard and lots of attention and love offered. Let me know what questions or concerns you might have! I work Monday-Friday, I am usually free in the evenings and off on Thursdays typically. I’m free on most holidays(so keep that in mind).** I am free on most weekends. ** My job is flexible, 12 mins away, making it easy to drop by my house throughout the day. My house is open and I have a great fenced in area. Your dog will be spoiled rotten over here. Lots of pets and attention. I also know how important a walk is to a dog, it’s the highlight of their day! We’d make the most of it.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have 2 dogs. I have a lab mix and rott/sheperd mix. They are my fur babies and my daughters' besties. I love dogs so much and sometimes more than people :o) I have been a paralegal for 17 years. I enjoy being a paralegal but I love animals more. I am trying to earn income doing something I truly love. I will treat your fur babies just like my own. I will make sure they are safe, properly provided for and loved on the whole time.
About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for friends’ and family members’ pups of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve looked after everything from 14-week-old puppies to senior rescues. I’ve also worked with dogs who need medication, have special needs like blindness or anxiety, or just have tons of energy to burn. I approach every dog with patience, compassion, and personalized care — as if they were my own. As a full-time student with a light class schedule — just a few hours in the evenings Monday through Thursday — I’m available nearly all day, every day. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent care, timely check-ins, and plenty of attention for your pup throughout the day. When boarding dogs in my home, I provide a peaceful, dog-friendly space where your pup can relax and feel at ease. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and live in a quiet, walkable neighborhood that's perfect for regular walks and sniff breaks. I maintain a consistent routine, supervise playtime, and ensure your dog always has a cozy spot to rest — just like they would at home. Being welcomed into someone’s home to care for their pet is a responsibility I take seriously. I’m clean, respectful, and always follow care instructions closely. I create a calm, safe environment for each dog, keep communication open with regular updates, and do everything I can to make sure both you and your pup feel secure and supported.
About: I have been providing animal care services to friends and family for years and love it! I prioritize keeping the family pets safe and comfortable. I have spent time with all kinds of dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I know how important family pets are and that's why communication is a top priority. I provide frequent check-ins and photos if requested! :) With several years of experience, I'm a trusted companion for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I offer flexible scheduling, attentive care, and a genuine love for animals! I know every animal and family is unique, so let me know your individual needs and requests and I am happy to accommodate. I am available Monday-Friday and on the weekends! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible; I have client appointments every so often but am available most of the time. I have a fenced in yard and love to stay active so I'm happy to go on plenty of walks with your pup(s)! I am attentive and genuinely love playing with dogs as well as giving them the attention they need to be happy.
About: I have been dog sitting and caring for pets since I was 10 years old. I have a huge passion for animals and have been volunteering at my local humane society for the past few years. I have animals of my own and am actually about to add a new puppy to my pet family! I am willing to walk, bathe, and feed your animals and make sure they get the care they need while you’re away! I am actually a full time college student and am looking to give pet care in between my classes during the week. I would be available on T/Th all day. On M/W/F I am available anytime after 12pm to come care for your pets. I am looking to be doing home visits rather than dog boarding because I am currently living in an apartment and do not have the space needed to provide quality care for your pets. I am willing to do drop in visits and in the past am used to doing that type of care for my clients.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats of all ages since I was about 10 years old! I am also a certified veterinary assistant!

I recently graduated from SIUE with my Bachelors degree and am currently job searching/taking a little time off, so I have complete open availability as far as my schedule goes! I am open to staying the night somewhere if that’s needed! I am more than willing to come to your residence to take care of any type/number of pets! I have my own car so I have reliable transportation. I don’t mind taking them out as much as needed to go for walks or to the bathroom, as well as just playing with them / keeping an eye on them indoors!

“Rachel great! We really appreciate her willingness to regularly walk two dogs, both of which need to learn a bit more leash etiquette. We highly recommend Rachel for your pet care needs!”
About: As a pet caregiver, my experience has been both challenging and incredibly rewarding. I have had the pleasure of working with a variety of pets, including cats and dogs and even rabbits. Each pet has its own unique personality and needs, and I make sure to tailor my care to suit each individual animal. From feeding and grooming to providing exercise and playtime, I take pride in providing the highest level of care to ensure that the pets are healthy and happy. One of the most rewarding aspects of my pet care experience is seeing the joy on the pets' faces and the bond that we form over time. I truly believe that pets bring so much love and happiness into our lives, and it is an honor to be able to give back to them through my work. I make sure to follow the pet owner's instructions carefully, so that the pets receive the same level of care and attention they are accustomed to. I love spending time with the pets, playing and cuddling with them, and making sure they feel loved and secure. Seeing the pets happy and healthy when their owners return home is the best reward for a job well done. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I’m already very organized and used to working around animal care schedules. I’m able to provide consistent morning, evening, and check-in visits, and I’m flexible with timing when needed. I plan my week in advance so I can reliably accommodate bookings while still giving each pet my full attention. Since caring for animals is already part of my everyday life, I’m comfortable balancing multiple visits and making sure each pet gets the time, care, and consistency they need. n clients’ homes, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding instructions, stick to their usual schedules, and make sure they always have fresh water, clean litter boxes (for cats), and a tidy environment. I also spend time with them based on their personality—whether that’s playtime, enrichment, or just calm companionship so they feel safe and not alone. I pay close attention to behavior and overall well-being during each visit, and I make sure the home is respected and left just as I found it. My goal is always to reduce stress for both the pet and the owner by providing consistent, attentive care in their familiar environment.
About: Hello, my name is Eden. I grew up around both cats and dogs of different breeds and sizes, so I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. As a full-time college student, I’m used to staying organized and following schedules, which helps me provide consistent and reliable care. From walks and playtime to simple companionship, I’ll make sure your pet is well looked after and comfortable. i am currently a full time college student but am available anytime Monday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday! i do not currently have a job so the only thing taking up my time would be school! i am more than able to walk dogs when needed. I understand feeding schedules when given. I am not able to watch any pets in my own home as i do live on campus, but I am more than willing to adapt to whatever instructions I am given in a clients home.
About: I work 8-4:30pm Monday through Friday, I can do before work and after work depending on the time and area pretty much always available on weekends feel free to reach out 😃. I have been around animals my whole life. As a child we had three American Bull dogs. I have taken care of animals for friends when they were out of town until they return home. I personally have a dog named Simba, he’s very loving and loves attention. We go on walks and play fetch, he gets spoiled with toys weekly. Pet care fits into my schedule because I can drop in before and after work. Weekends I’m free all through out the day so plenty of time for extra attention! I work from home three days out of the week Monday - Friday and go in twice a week. I follow all owner rules and like to send pictures and videos of their happy fur babies. I care for Simba by taking him potty regularly making sure he has plenty of food and water. We go for walks when the weather lets us.
About: Ever since I was little, I have had a passion for all animals, big and small, of every kind. I have 4 pets of my own, 1 cat and 2 dogs (a Shih Tzu and an American Staffordshire) and a guinea pig! I have been taking care of pets for over 20 years. Anytime a family member or friend will be out of town, they all know they can count on me to provide unconditional love and care for their pets, because they know... PETS ARE MY PASSION. THEY ARE FAMILY! I am open and flexible with my schedule, and can accommodate most needs. I have experience with puppies, kittens, birds, bunnies, older cats, and older dogs, (and sick pets too 😞) I have lost a few pets in my life, but all have lived long healthy lives with so much love. I'm familiar and comfortable with giving pets their medicine if needed. I have lots of love to give, to all the animals I meet! Rest assured, your pets will be cared for! **AVAILABLE ON HOLIDAYS!** I am a self employed house cleaner, so my schedule is very flexible. I can and will work around your schedule to provide the utmost care for your pets when needed. I ALWAYS provide photos and keep you updated on your pets!! I understand that time is a valuable thing, so I always make sure my pets, and others are always taken care of. I take pride in my pet care. I am honest, and patient, and it makes me so happy when pets get excited to see their owners, or guests.

“My puppy Onyx had a blast I was a little fearful because I just got him and he’s so small. He stayed overnight and when I dropped him off he was a little timid. By the time I returned the next morning he was running around with her lab like they were old friends. I would definitely recommend Shannon for your furry kids.”
“I was a little worried when I dropped cloudy off. This was the first time he ever went to someone besides family, but Ms. Leah made me feel so comfortable and Cloudy had so much fun over there. I appreciate her and her time and all she did to make this a great experience. I recommend her a 100 out of a 100 thank you so much,”
“Adela was awesome! She took great care of my dog Ellie for a few days. She was extremely welcoming and answered any questions I had prior to Ellie’s stay.Her communication skills were on point as well. She put my mind at ease each day by sending updates and lots of pictures :) I think it’s safe to say that my dog really enjoyed her stay. We will def book again with her in the future.”
“Our pup did great at Mandi’s! I didn’t have to worry at all because she sent pictures of his day and an update of what he did. She was so sweet to send him home with a personalized bandana and a jar of homemade treats! Definitely recommend!”
“Jamie and Aaron were amazing!! Max had the best time and I think he was sad to leave. They provided pictures and video while he was there. Will definitely use them in future!!”
“Thank you Sarah for taking care of our Pepper! She had plenty of room for herself, and plenty of room to play with the other pups! She seemed to enjoy herself from the pictures I received while staying with Sarah! I will definitely use her the next time we need a pup sitter!”
“Laura is awesome! Very kind clearly loves dogs and sent me videos and photos every day. My dog came back super happy and tired from a good day running around her yard.”
“Excellent pet sitter! She boarded our puppy for two nights and took great care of her. Our puppy came home happy, healthy, and well-loved. Great communication and a caring environment. Highly recommend!”
“This was my first experience with Rover. It was absolutely great working with Christina. She was amazing to communicate with and very responsive to any questions and concerns. I got so many pictures of my baby and was kept updated the whole time it was amazing. My baby came home exhausted and just happy. He looked happy in the pictures too. This was just a great experience overall. We will definitely seek Christina out for future care. Thank you for taking such good care of my fur baby.”
About: Hi, thank you so much for stopping by to read through my profile. I have loved and taken care of friend’s and family’s dogs for years. Big, small, medium, even tempered, wild, mellow- I absolutely love them all. I have a 12 year old lab, who has slowed down a lot. She is my everything. I find something about raising a dog from a young pup to an aging one, so very special and rewarding. If your dog is fast paced or likes to smell every blade of grass, I’m game. Rain, shine, or snow, I’m available. I’d absolutely appreciate it if you gave me the opportunity to spoil your dog, not just walk or watch. I understand these are your babies. My house is set up well with a fenced in back yard and lots of attention and love offered. Let me know what questions or concerns you might have! I work Monday-Friday, I am usually free in the evenings and off on Thursdays typically. I’m free on most holidays(so keep that in mind).** I am free on most weekends. ** My job is flexible, 12 mins away, making it easy to drop by my house throughout the day. My house is open and I have a great fenced in area. Your dog will be spoiled rotten over here. Lots of pets and attention. I also know how important a walk is to a dog, it’s the highlight of their day! We’d make the most of it.
“Stacie took great care of our dog while we were away! She was easy to communicate with and sent daily updates and pictures that helped ease my dog mama worry. Thank you so much, Stacie!”
“Uno was in great hands! All the updates with pictures and videos were comforting to know he was okay while we were out of town. No issues and he even met a new friend :) Thanks again!”
“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. They played, walked, rested, and probably were questioning coming home, they were given so much attention. Sarah shared photos and even with a snowstorm ensured they were safe and had fun. I was very pleased. We will call upon sarah again!”
“Robert is an awesome dog boarder/dog watcher. He provided us with good updates and all the other things a good dog host does, but what sets him apart is is way with dogs. Our dog is usually defensive towards unknown guys, but with Robert, she was instantly at ease. I would 100% recommend Robert to anyone with a dog that is anxious or uncertain of others. He is a gem as a sitter/boarder in Rover! Thank you Robert!”
“This was our 2nd stay with Julia and it went great! Penny was well cared for and Julia sent regular updates. Would definitely recommend booking a stay with Julia.”
“Another excellent stay for Bella with Jessica! This is our 2nd stay with her, but it won’t be our last! I really appreciate all of the photos that Jessica sends - this greatly alleviates any stress of leaving our fur baby. You can tell that Jessica takes care to make a comfortable environment for the pets she watches and ensures they get plenty of exercise and love.”
