“Emily did a great job caring for our dog while we were on vacation for a week! She sent pictures and updates daily and was very easy to communicate with. She treated our dog like one of her own, even letting him sleep in her bed when he didn’t want to sleep in his kennel! We would definitely use Emily again!”
“Darcie was AWESOME! This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier. She watch my two dogs for a week and was communicative and sent photos the whole time. She has a sweet pup of her own that was great with my dogs. The cherry on top was her home and family were both so warm. It felt like leaving my dogs with a friend.”
“Heather was incredible!! Stanley stayed in her home for 23 days and he had the best time! We got frequent photo updates of him getting treated with so much love and care, it gave us great peace of mind while we travelled. I can't recommend boarding with Heather enough!”
“Our pup just really took to Carol and had a great 2 days with her. She sent us pictures of him and let us know how he was doing through out his stay. We will definitely be using Carol again!”
“This was our first experience with the Rover app and Shannon taking care of Maggie. It could not have been a better experience! Shannon was great with communication and very timely. We had boarding arrangements elsewhere and they canceled at the last minute. Shannon was quick to reply to my inquiry and helped me navigate the Rover app. The "Meet & Greet" went very well with Maggie meeting Shannon's personal K-9 companions. Right from the start, we were very comfortable and confident that Shannon would take great care of Maggie. She was very personable and kept us informed during our travels with pics/updates. When arriving to pick her up, Maggie was happy & seemingly didn't care that we had returned. It was very obvious that Maggie was well cared for and SPOILED! We highly recommend Shannon and won't hesitate to use her again. (6+ 🌟)”
“Marissa was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, she was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly caring. She checked in regularly and sent the sweetest photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious she truly loved and cared for Kona, and that means everything to me. Even better, it was clear that Kona loved her right back. There’s nothing more reassuring than knowing your dog feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m honestly just sad she doesn’t live closer because we would book her every single time without hesitation. I can’t recommend Marissa enough!”
“Great experience with this Rover sitter. Communication was excellent the entire time, which I really appreciated. I had to deal with a delayed flight and bad weather, and he was very flexible with the pickup time, which made the situation much less stressful. When I arrived, my dog was already outside and ready to go, so the process was quick and easy. He also sent a couple videos during the stay, and it was clear my dog was happy and he even got to go on a little adventure. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely book with Grant again.”
“Not going to lie, we were nervous leaving our pup with a stranger, but we felt at ease right away. Mark has such a calm demeanor and knows what he is doing. There is another pup he cares for and they play well together, which is great for socializing. If I check in, he responds very quickly and sends us a picture or two. He knows about nervous parents.☺️”
“I left my dogs for the first time over Christmas. My very excitable, stage-one clinger (GSD) was calm and happy when I picked her up which indicates that she was feeling very relaxed during her stay. It was a great experience. I highly recommend Jake and his family.”
“Jen took amazing care of our dog, Daisy, while we were on vacation. She treated her like family, kept us updated, and made sure Daisy felt comfortable and loved the entire time. We came home to a happy girl. Highly recommend Jen. We’ll definitely book with Jen again.”
“Audrey was a gracious host for my dog. She took excellent care of him and his needs while I was away. She even enlightened me that my dog was fond of cats 😳 I had no idea, but I think her care and introduction had something to do with it 😉 I’m not looking forward to leaving town again but when I do, I hope Audrey, and her family, are available to care for my fur kid..”

“We were very nervous to leave our senior kitty for a week since he needs saline infusions everyday to treat his kidney disease. Tia did a wonderful job caring for Pumbaa, giving his medicine, and making him comfortable during his saline. He looked so happy and healthy when we returned. We're very thankful to have such an excellent petsitter to care for our boy when we're away!”
About: Growing up on a farm, we always seemed to have plenty of stray cats around. 🐱 I can remember trying so hard to pick them up and love on them, only for them to run away from me! 😂 As an adult, my family and I have been blessed with two cats who became very special parts of our family. Both have since crossed the Rainbow Bridge, taking a little piece of our hearts with them. 🌈🐾❤️
“Does a great job keeping my ferrets' space clean for them and keeping up with meds for my cats and ferrets. Is very punctual and I know my pets will get taken care of on schedule when she is booked, which really helps with the stress of being away from my fuzzy guys.”
About: I have worked with pups and kittys since I was little, I have done puppy training all the way to taking care of senior pets. I have had much practice over the years with all of my own furry family members and now to having a few solid clients I service on a regular basis before even joining Rover. So I love taking care of folks furry family members including my own Doberman and my sisters cat while she's gone away at college. However I work for the government Tuesday - Saturday 10:30 a.m.-7p.m. so I can be there during the mornings and I can take care of them as soon as I get off work in the evenings for feedings, potty breaks, walks, etc. Unfortunately, I more than likely will not be able to do midday potty breaks so if you're someone who works from home and let's them out frequently it probably will not work out. But if they're used to being in during the day already from work schedules then it should be a perfect fit! I take care of my Doberman pup through trainings with positive reinforcement via toys and treats. I feed him every morning and evening, taking him on walks out in the woods and letting him run wild in our big back yard.
About: I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs and cats. I grew up with two golden retrievers, and after they passed, my family naturally became the neighborhood pet sitters. I spent so much of my childhood around all kinds of pets that it honestly feels like I grew up right alongside them. When my family got another golden retriever puppy, I was the one who took on most of her training. Working with her taught me patience, consistency, and how to build real trust with a young dog. I’m comfortable with basic commands, routines, and helping puppies build good habits. Being around animals genuinely lifts my mood. I’m definitely that person who stops in the street to ask if I can pet someone’s dog. I also care for two cats regularly—one at my workplace and one that belongs to my roommate—so I’m very used to daily cat routines, feeding, cleaning, and giving them attention on their terms. Caring for animals just feels like second nature to me. I always make sure pets get the attention, affection, and exercise they need, and I really do treat every animal like they’re my own. I especially love being able to give dogs company during the day when they’d otherwise be alone. It means a lot to me to be that comforting, familiar person they look forward to seeing. I’m excited to meet new families and make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved every time they’re with me. I’m looking to get out of my desk job and start dog walking full time. I love being outside and i am a total dog lover. I need the customers, so please let me be your dog’s new best friend! I am a very respectful person all around. I’ll easily respect your things and space. I will be tidy and leave how I came! I’m hoping when we meet in person, you can tell the kind of person I am. I’m quite an open book. Just a fun, bubbly, outdoorsy and dog lovin girl!
“I have a job that is on-call, so I find myself asking for a pet sitter somewhat last minute sometimes. Emily is great for those calls and also for when I know a need a sitter in advance! Emily clearly has a passion for dogs; my dog loves her! She goes the extra mile to make sure she knows exactly what my dog needs and wants and to make sure my dog is a happy and healthy pooch when I can't be home! Thanks, Emily! I will be a repeat customer.”
“Nora is great! I always know my Finley will get such good attention. He loves belly rubs and treats of carrots and she always makes sure he gets these! i want to wish her a very Merry Christmas.”
“Amanda was very reliable and great with communication. It’s always scary not knowing someone well and having them stay at your house with your pets and she over exceeded our expectations. We appreciate it! Will definitely keep her on our list for the future!!”

About: I have grown up with cats all my life, fed strays and befriended almost every cat that was said to 'not like people'. I have experience with special needs cats; blind, deaf, tripod, epileptic (my 5 year old boy, Pinball in my pfp), and a few others. With that cones experience with physical therapy, medications (except injections.

“We really appreciated Emily's keeping us posted on how our dog Maggie was adjusting to a new environment. Emily and family were very loving and caring toward our dog Maggie.”
“Grant was a lifesaver for me and my puppies! As a busy night shift nurse I was not sleeping during the day so I could give my puppies attention. It all became too much so that’s when I decided to find a puppy daycare for them. I found Grant and he was open to watching them during the day for me so I can get some sleep! My 8month old puppy Cricket is a shy/ nervous girl and my 3 month old puppy Junebug is rambunctious and sassy. They both loved going to daycare and were thoroughly wore out after spending the day playing at Grant’s house!”
“Tiffany was great! We were traveling through Iowa and needed a place to leave Tommy for the afternoon so we could take a riverboat sightseeing tour. Due to poor planning on my part we had to find someone just a few days before our trip, but Tiffany responded to my request very quickly and was able to take him on short notice. She was so kind, and Tommy warmed up to her quickly. We really appreciated having a great place to take him for the afternoon!”

“We had a good first experience with Emilie as Poppy’s sitter. Poppy seemed to do well during her stay, and we appreciated receiving photo updates while we were away. Communication was smooth throughout, and we didn’t have any complaints. We would be more than comfortable booking with Emilie again in the future.”
“Very patient and kind with a dog you don’t know and will probably not see again since we’re traveling. Thank you for your kindness and care of Judy, as well as tips to help her adjust.”
“Sierra took in our little guy last minute so we could spend the day in the National Park. She was friendly and easy to communicate with, and very accommodating. I loved the smell of the fresh apples on her tree.”

About: I provide attentive and loving care to pets of all sizes, from small lap dogs to active breeds, as well as bunnies, cats and birds. As I work from home, your pet will receive consistent attention throughout the day, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I take time to understand their needs so they feel secure and relaxed. Every pet in my care is treated as if they were my own. With my work from home environment I am able to deal with pets all times during the week. I do travel some weeks, in which I will not take on any pets. I am flexible on schedules. In the spring I will note I coach, and may be gone for 2-3 hours maximum on some nights if there is an overnight pet. This scheduling information will of be provided ahead of time to ensure you know exactly how your pet will be cared for. As I work from home your pet will be watched all day. Whether they choose to join me or relax elsewhere in the house is up to their preference. I do not have a kennel and am okay with pets being able to roam. I also want to break up my day so they will get walks every 2-4 hours if they would like. I also have a fenced yard that I can see from my office if they are wanting to spend more time outside. Personally I’ll probably be outside with them :)
“Allison was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs, a playful and high energy 5 year old pug and a very high needs senior. She is so loving with them, and is very patient and focused on our senior dog’s needs. We were totally confident that they were cared for so well all day. We are so grateful to have found her! Ellie and Jake loved their time with her and can’t wait to stay with her again.”

About: I’ve had fur babies in my life since the day I was born. 🐾 As an adult, my husband and I have shared our lives with six dogs and two cats. To me, they’ve never been “just pets”—they are my babies, my kids, and a huge part of our family. ❤️ They have been my comfort, my companions, and my saving grace in more ways than I can count. The only time they’ve ever broken my heart is when it was time to say goodbye and watch them cross the Rainbow Bridge. 🌈🐾 Today, we share our home with Lucy, Leo, and Louie. Lucy and Leo are brother and sister from the same mixed-breed litter, and Louie is our full-blooded German Shepherd. They fill our home with love, laughter, fur, and plenty of personality! 🐶💕 Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. 🐾 With three fur babies of my own, my daily routine includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of attention. Caring for your babies would fit naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to make sure they get the love and care they need. ❤️ In between loving and enjoying my own fur babies, I’d love to spend time loving and caring for yours too! 🐾❤️ I’ll make sure your babies are fed, have plenty of fresh water, and get all the attention they deserve. We’ll go for walks, play in the backyard, enjoy lots of cuddles, and, of course, play that wonderful game where they bring me the ball—but refuse to give it back so I can throw it again! 😂🎾🐶 Most importantly, I’ll care for your babies just like I would want someone to care for mine—with lots of love, patience, and attention. ❤️🐾

About: I have had cats, dogs, rabbits, mice, rats, fish, hermit crabs, tarantulas and many other types of pets of my own (cats and dogs my whole life) as well as cared for friends and family's pets since I was a little kid. I also volunteered at many local animal shelters in my late teens. I also have experience with different types of special needs animals; mostly cats in that aspect. (Paralyzed, deaf, blind, epileptic, diabetic and tri-pod) My daily and weekly schedule changes with my regular work schedule and my kids school schedule, but I am typically available during day time hours on weekdays, most likely at least one available night time drop-in available and can make myself available on Saturdays, if need be. Your pet will be more comfortable in an familiar environment such as their own home, so I would prefer to see them in their own home. I ask you leave a note somewhere prominent (i.e. kitchen table or counter) with quick point reminders of food/water bowl locations, food locations, treats, and any special reminders such as medications w/ times. I will take time to get to know your pet, play with them if they like or pets, loves snuggles... It's really all about what your pet wants/needs from me! I will also have my 17 year old daughter and/or my 12 year old daughter along to help care for your pet(s), if that's OK with you. Between the three of us we can run your whole zoo if you'd like!! We can do walkies for pets that need a little extra excersize. Shopping trips to pet-friendly local areas/shops/parks if wanted/permissible!

About: Hi! My name is Amanda. I have worked in doggie daycare, worked as a bather and in the sales department! At work I got to experience different breeds, temperaments and personalities! My favorite part of my job is building strong relationships with the owners and their dogs! I also have experience dropping in homes while their owners are at work, school or out of town. When I do drop ins I have taken them on walks, picked up after them and fed them. I absolutely love working with all animals! I am known to have great communication skills, I am compassionate , and I am responsible. I pride myself in those traits and look forward to building a relationship with you and your family member! I do have a full time job working with adults with intellectual disabilities. Mon-Fri I do work from 730am-4pm. I am still available during the weekends and can also do house sitting during the days that I work! I will follow their daily routine and make them as comfortable as possible while you are away. While walking them I will keep distance from other animals to ensure their safety. I will also follow all dietary needs and feeding schedules.
About: I have had multiple dogs ranging from black labs to Saint Bernards! I have done dog walking here and there for over ten years. I am also a mom to an almost two year old (human) and I am very responsible. I’m currently not working and I am a student. Due to scheduling with my child’s other parent I am available every other weekend and Tuesday-Wed. Besides time with my child’s and class, I am free to care for your pet! I am very responsible with animals and professional in other peoples homes. I have house sat, cared for pets, and babysat without any issues within the home. I am happy to provide a safe and fun environment for your pet in your home.
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.
About: My boyfriend and I have always had animals in our lives. Growing up he lived on a farm with dogs, cats, goats, pigs etc. and I have had dogs and cats my whole life. We currently have 2 beautiful Great Danes, a bunch of rabbits, outside kitties, and 3 chinchillas! Our dogs love people, small animals, and would love a bigger dog to run around with. We would love to cuddle with your fur babies, go for walks, or just play in the fenced yard! With summer coming up we know that it’s going to be vacation time, you deserve to be able to enjoy and relax on vacation while knowing your animals are well taken care of. Me and my boyfriend work mornings and get lunch breaks half way through, so we’d be able to check on your animals even while working and we can be with them all afternoon. On Wednesdays and Thursdays we are both off so they’d get us all day! We have a 2 story house with lots of room for them to lay around and have their own space if needed. We also have a large backyard that is fenced off already for our dogs.

About: Pet uncle of three chihuahuas but love dogs of all sizes, and cats as well I have cared for pets of family and friends for many years. Love to spend time with animals. I currently work on a part time basis, so my schedule is pretty open, I can be available both during the week and on weekends. Safety and trust are always my number one priority. I welcome the opportunity for a meet and greet to understand all of you and ypur pets needs.
About: I’ve been around many dogs since I was little. Even viscous ones. But no type of dog scares me. Having a cane corso for about 4-5 years got me to be aware of any type of pets. Being around cats doesn’t worry me. Just as long as I pay attention to signs on what to and not to do. I’m currently trying to raise money for a trip to go meet some family I’ve never met. I’ve had this app for months and haven’t had a single client. Please help me reach my goal I work full time with kids and I love pet sitting for one of my friends. But usually after work I love to be around lovely pets. I will walk your dog personally. To be honest, letting a dog out in a yard doesn’t seem like they have much freedom. Taking them on an adventure is the way to do it so they have options. Treat them the way you would want to be treated is my motto.
About: I have had dogs and loved them my entire life. I grew up with Rottweilers and St Benards so the big ones definitely have my heart. I currently have two Border Collie X Australian Shepherd mixes that are incredibly friendly and smart. I started my pet professional career out in 2012 as a kennel technician at the Clinton Humane Society. I have worked for two different vet clinics as a vet technician giving medications, doing ivs, doing wound care, and being apart of surgery staff. I do some special handling dog training for anxious and semi aggressive dogs. My passion for special handling dogs started when I trained as a pet stylist. I got hands on experience helping stressed dogs relax and make situations better for them. I currently work in the Quad Cities as a pet stylist, working with both dogs and cats. I am very familiar and comfortable working with all kinds of animals be it furry, scaley or feathery. I do animal care for individual animals and also for hobby farms with chickens, ducks, goats, llamas and sheep. I am a very particular person when it comes to my own animals' care. Being very detailed oriented and handling your pets care is important to me. I think they deserve their care to be attentive and comfortable. Animals are not only something I am very passionate about but what I have revolved my life around. My days start around 5-5:30am. I typically take the dogs for a walk and have an hour to give them a bathroom break. I work as a pet stylist from 7-3:30. I can give bathroom breaks on my lunch break as needed. I keep all dogs leashed when outside to guarantee their safety. I have a fenced in back/side yard where I monitor dogs so they can be off leash if they are able to be trusted. I never leave pets unattended. I can kennel dogs to keep separate if needed. I am also trained in animal first aid. I deep clean and sanitize everything frequently.

“Darcie was AWESOME! This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier. She watch my two dogs for a week and was communicative and sent photos the whole time. She has a sweet pup of her own that was great with my dogs. The cherry on top was her home and family were both so warm. It felt like leaving my dogs with a friend.”
“Heather was incredible!! Stanley stayed in her home for 23 days and he had the best time! We got frequent photo updates of him getting treated with so much love and care, it gave us great peace of mind while we travelled. I can't recommend boarding with Heather enough!”
“This was our first experience with the Rover app and Shannon taking care of Maggie. It could not have been a better experience! Shannon was great with communication and very timely. We had boarding arrangements elsewhere and they canceled at the last minute. Shannon was quick to reply to my inquiry and helped me navigate the Rover app. The "Meet & Greet" went very well with Maggie meeting Shannon's personal K-9 companions. Right from the start, we were very comfortable and confident that Shannon would take great care of Maggie. She was very personable and kept us informed during our travels with pics/updates. When arriving to pick her up, Maggie was happy & seemingly didn't care that we had returned. It was very obvious that Maggie was well cared for and SPOILED! We highly recommend Shannon and won't hesitate to use her again. (6+ 🌟)”
“Great experience with this Rover sitter. Communication was excellent the entire time, which I really appreciated. I had to deal with a delayed flight and bad weather, and he was very flexible with the pickup time, which made the situation much less stressful. When I arrived, my dog was already outside and ready to go, so the process was quick and easy. He also sent a couple videos during the stay, and it was clear my dog was happy and he even got to go on a little adventure. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely book with Grant again.”
“Not going to lie, we were nervous leaving our pup with a stranger, but we felt at ease right away. Mark has such a calm demeanor and knows what he is doing. There is another pup he cares for and they play well together, which is great for socializing. If I check in, he responds very quickly and sends us a picture or two. He knows about nervous parents.☺️”
“I left my dogs for the first time over Christmas. My very excitable, stage-one clinger (GSD) was calm and happy when I picked her up which indicates that she was feeling very relaxed during her stay. It was a great experience. I highly recommend Jake and his family.”
“Jen took amazing care of our dog, Daisy, while we were on vacation. She treated her like family, kept us updated, and made sure Daisy felt comfortable and loved the entire time. We came home to a happy girl. Highly recommend Jen. We’ll definitely book with Jen again.”
“Audrey was a gracious host for my dog. She took excellent care of him and his needs while I was away. She even enlightened me that my dog was fond of cats 😳 I had no idea, but I think her care and introduction had something to do with it 😉 I’m not looking forward to leaving town again but when I do, I hope Audrey, and her family, are available to care for my fur kid..”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who loves all creatures big or small, furry or scaly. I grew up with pets of all kinds and have always enjoyed caring for them, spending time with them, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I currently have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your beloved pet. He’s a pit/boxer mix and is super friendly and gets along with other pups. I also have a human baby, so I’d prefer your fur baby be good with kiddos, but I can keep them separate if needed. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, or simply some extra love while you’re away, I’d be happy to help! My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your furry family members receive plenty of attention, care, and affection. 🐾❤️ I have my own in-home daycare with little ones M-F so I am home all the time, making it convenient for me to care for your furry friend when needed. We usually spend a majority of our days in the basement where I have my daycare space set up, so the animals can have a quieter area (unless they’d rather be with me and the kiddos) on the main floor, which is fairly spacious. My husband also has a flexible job where he can work at home fairly often, so he will also be around to help with the animals when needed. I have a smaller sized fenced backyard and a super friendly and submissive 5-year old pup of my own that can help make your pet feel comfortable here. Your fur friend has free range of the house, but I can also crate him/her if preferred.
“She was absolutely amazing with my dogs. She sent pictures periodically through the day and you could tell the dogs were having so much fun! I’ll definitely be using her again and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone else.”
“Nyjeah W. Took good care of my Schnoodle Dog Hosanna and my cat Shylynn she was very responsive with updates, very reliable. I would recommend her if you need someone to watch your loving pets she's the best.”
