“I was so worried about boarding our dog for the first time. Teresa completely out us at ease during the meet and greet. She was very open to communication the week we were away, and sent pics. Our gentle giant had a great time and was very well taken care of. We will be booking again in the future. You can tell they truly love dogs and care for them. Thank you so much!!”
“Rae was great! I know G was well taken care of making a stress free weekend for us! Rae was extremely helpful with the whole process as it was out first time leaving G. I received many photos throughout the stay which was extra helpful!”
“Sarah was a great companion for my furbaby while I was away! She was very communicative throughout the duration of the boarding service, and I felt comfortable and at ease with having my dog in her care.”
“Rachel was fantastic with our senior dog, Flo. Flo has mobility issues and multiple medications, and Rachel took great care of her when we were away. Flo and Rachel's endearing cat became nap buddies. Rachel sent us plenty of feedback and pictures to reassure us that Flo was OK. We would definitely book with Racheal again.”
“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!😊”
“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!”
“Jay was great! I had to find a sitter for Athena last minute and he responded quickly. He made sure to show me that Athena would be in good hands and Athena seemed to like them as well. If I ever need a sitter I will definitely ask Jay again :)”
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I once had dreams of being a vet and spent two summers as an intern at a vet clinic, but learned quickly that that is not necessarily the career to choose just because you love animals, haha. That being said, I love both dogs and cats and have been a volunteer at animal shelters since 2017. I currently have a sweet but shy 6 year old cat named Rhiannon. I work remotely on weekdays, so I am home throughout the day for companionship and frequent potty breaks, if needed. I love to go on evening walks in my local park as well. I live in a single family home with an unfenced yard, but any bathroom breaks would be under my full watch and care. I have one sweet but shy cat, but she has her own room if your pet is not okay with other animals.
“Rebekah was wonderful! She took great care of our dog, was always quick to respond, and very flexible. We felt completely comfortable knowing our girl was in good hands. We would definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and I love them all. I’m good about watching temperament in animals and making sure everything is going smoothly. I can do simple training like sit and lie down. I can’t wait to meet and love on your pup/senior. :) I work 8-4 Monday through Friday. My job is pretty lax when it comes to coming and going! I get an hour lunch break around 1:30. Once I’m off at 4 I’m usually home for the night, but if I’m not your pet will be with me or crated! Whether we are burning energy with interactive toys or cuddling on the couch, your pets comfort and routine come first. I provide fresh water always, stick to your feeding schedules, and will give update pictures throughout their stay!
“Nina was available when I booked her last minute, she was very accommodating and asked a lot of questions about Nikko to best take care of him, which I very much appreciate! Nikko was so calm when I picked him up! I could tell he trusted him even for a short time he spent with Nina!”
“Gilana was an incredible sitter for my dog, Edison! I recently moved into town and it’s always tricky to find someone new to trust with caring for your pet. Gilana was kind, communicative, and clearly made Edison feel right at home. I also felt extra confident that Edison was in good hands knowing she is training in the veterinary field. What really made her stand out is I had a very stressful, last-minute flight change, which left me stuck across the country for an extra day. Gilana was able to extend coverage for Edison. I truly don’t know what I would’ve done without her flexibility and understanding. Thank you, Gilana!”
About: I cherish the time I’ve spent caring for cats and dogs and interacting with them has been fulfilling and a fantastic addition to my life. Caring for my dogs and cats, enjoying the love and attention you receive in return for your efforts is a wonderful addition to the human experience I really like taking my dogs for exercise, and I have a big imagination and enjoy coming up with interesting ways to play inside in inclement weather
“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.”
“She did a very good job caring for my dog. He usually gets a little nervous being in unfamiliar settings which makes him not want to eat as much. She cared enough to still try to get him to eat something during his stay which I do appreciate. I would book 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.”
“Christina did a great job watching our pup Royal! She’s a great disciplinary and nurturer! She has a comfortable environment for dogs to play and rest! Christina also sent us pictures while we were away to reassure us that Royal was having a great time and that he was safe ! We will definitely be booking with her again !”
About: I’ve had house dogs for most of my adult life. I recently had to put my little guy to sleep after 13 years and I’m looking to fill that void he left! I’m patient and loving. I now have a 6 pound chihuahua that’s 9 and very laid back I’ve just started this business but you won’t find someone more passionate about caring for your dog I work a few part time hours and would be pretty flexible with my schedule. Able to spend quality time with your pet and give the attention I would care for your pet as you do. I have a condo and a great neighborhood for walks. They will be very comfortable and happy with me

About: I absolutely adore cats and recently became a cat parent myself. I have 2 cats that are both about a year old, and I adopted the first 6 months ago. Before that, I have handled cats in a clinic setting, in homes, and at the animal shelter I work at. A large part of my job at the shelter is feeding, cleaning up after, managing medications, and socializing cats and kittens of all ages.
“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!!”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals like, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, lizards etc. I am very gentle and loving with pets of all kind and about 6 years of experience. I’m available 24/7 this will be like a full time job for me it’s hard to get a job with bad anxiety. I’m a vet quiet person. I would be going to your house to take care of your pet. I live with my mom and have a bunch of little kids here.
About: As a kid I did not grow up with cats, but I always loved their quirks and that no two are alike! Whether your cat is a social butterfly who loves endless chin scratches (like my Poe), a shy introvert who needs patience and space (like my Monroe), or a curious kitten ready for playing, I make my approach match their comfort zone. - comfortable handling all temperaments, from playful kittens to fragile seniors. - Experience with medication - Efficient litter box cleaning
“My cat Fig loved her time with Anj, and I loved knowing she was getting lots of playtime, pets, and her food and water taken care of. Anj sent pictures each time she visited Fig which gave me peace of mind seeing how happy she was, even while I was away for a week.”
“Madison was incredible! She watched my two older, very particular cats for nearly an entire week, and every time she checked in (with lots of photos!) I felt a huge wave of relief. She did everything she asked for and more! I would book Madison again in a heartbeat, and if you're looking for someone who is kind, compassionate, and goes the extra mile then you should book her!”
About: I've also had cats my entire life, including raising kittens and caring for rescued cats. I understand that every cat has a unique personality some want constant attention while others prefer their space. I'm experienced with feeding, litter box care, playtime, administering basic care, and recognizing when a cat needs a little extra patience or comfort. I know how important it is for cats to feel safe in their own environment, and I'll make sure your cat receives attentive, gentle care while you're away.
About: Got my first cat when I was about 11 and convinced my parents to get another who ended up to be pregnant, I cared for her kittens for about 6 months before we gave up all but two of them and I've cared for those two and my previous two ever since

About: From fish to horses, dogs, cats, and everything in between, I’m an animal lover. In fact, pretty much my whole life is based around animals! I am currently a kennel tech at an animal shelter, and have worked with animals in some capacity since I was very young. I have a WRCTE Veterinary Medical Applications Certification and Fear Free Handling training. I currently work fulltime (8:30-4:30) but am available after work and on breaks for drop-in visits, and every other weekend for more higher demand work. My pets are my whole world, and I’ll treat yours just the same! I know everyone has different preferences for their furbabies, and I’ll stick to every detail you ask of me. You need pictures? You’ve got them. You need me to give extra love? Can do. Your pet needs special medications? I have experience with that! Leaving behind our pets is hard, and I’ll do my best to make your time away less stressful.
About: I would love to meet your fur babies. I'm retired from 35 yrs as a Social Worker. Now, I can pet sit full time. Call or text with any questions or to book my services! I'm able to come to your home while you're away! Whether you're working extra long hours or away on vacation, I can watch your pets when you are gone from home. I only watch pets in their home environments. This is less stressful/traumatic on pets, than a kennel stay. Also, your pet will avoid getting diseases from the other animals at kennel. I don't charge per pet or per size fees either!
“We needed help with our pup last minute and Misty was quick to respond and willing to work with our schedule. During the meet and greet I could tell she was very comfortable with animals as well as knowledgable. Overall Misty was amazing to work with and I felt at ease knowing our fur baby was in good hands.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy taking care of them. I don’t have pets of my own right now, but I’ve been pet sitting on and off for several years and have cared for friends’ dogs, cats, fish, and hamsters. I’ve also helped friends find new homes for their pets, including providing a temporary place for some animals to stay while they waited to go to their new home. Over the years, I’ve learned that every animal has their own personality and routine. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, and I take the time to get to know each pet and what makes them comfortable. I’m happy to follow their normal routines, take dogs on walks and give them plenty of exercise and attention, and make sure they’re well cared for while their owners are away. I work from home three days a week, which gives me a flexible schedule to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening walks, as well as feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m also regularly in two different locations throughout the week, so I’m able to provide care in both areas. I live in a small, quiet space, which provides a calm and comfortable environment for pets staying in my home. Since I don’t currently have pets of my own, they would have my full attention and I can focus on making them feel safe and comfortable. I would follow the routine and instructions provided by their owner, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any other specific needs. I’m also able to be present and provide companionship throughout their stay.
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.

“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.”
