“Mera does a wonderful job with our dog, she takes great care of him and we are always happy to leave him with her. She even went the extra mile this time since he’s getting older and is not doing well and it was very much appreciated by us.”
“Kimberly was amazing with my two girls, definitely a 5-star sitter! She sent photos updating me while I was away and was great calming my bi girl, who iI s afraid of thunder. She is communicative, timely, knowledgeable and loved my dogs like her own; I highly recommend Kimberly! !”
“Jackie was awesome!! She and her family showed so much love and care to our dog, Frank. He had a great time with a few other furry friends! It was so nice getting the photos from Jackie, several times a day. Jackie is so accommodating and caring! I wish we had discovered her sooner!! She is the best!!”
“Our elderly and special needs Pomeranian felt right at home with Jill and her family. We could see his happiness each day in the wonderful pictures she sent us. A home filled with love for animals. We will absolutely book with Jill again ❤️”
“We were fortunate to find Shannon. We have a somewhat special needs dog (Sandy) and didn’t think we could find an appropriate sitter. But Sandy quickly accepted Shannon and her two beautiful dogs, Lex and Captain Black. We were able to enjoy a worry free trip knowing Sandy was receiving excellent care. We highly recommend Shannon and will use her service in the future.”
“Amazing dog sitter! She sent a bunch of pictures of my dog during his stay and took him on some really nice walks. He seemed really happy when I picked him up. Definitely recommend!”
About: I've been caring for animals for over 12 years, starting with my own dog, Lola. Since both of my parents worked, I was often responsible for feeding her, taking her on walks, playing with her, and making sure she was well cared for. That experience taught me responsibility from a young age and helped me develop a genuine love for animals. Since then, I've cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors, including dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I am currently home for the summer, which means my availability is very flexible and I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. Once summer ends, I will be continuing my pilot training and taking online courses through Lewis University. Even then, my schedule will remain flexible, allowing me to continue providing reliable and attentive care for your pets. I have a fenced yard and one dog of my own, Phoebe, who is incredibly friendly and loves being around other dogs. She can play all day long and does a great job helping other dogs feel comfortable in a new environment! If your pet will be staying in my home, I would be more than happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand so they can get to know Phoebe and make sure everyone is a good fit. Your pet's safety and well being are always my top priorities, and I will follow any routines or instructions you provide to help them feel right at home!
“Omg Amy is the best! She was so caring for my puppy and I absolutely felt like he is at home. He was well taken care of. I really really love the way she paid attention to detail and also sent me pictures and videos from time to time. Will work with her again!”
“Miriam and Terrell are the sweetest ever! They send so many photos and videos so that you can see what your pet is doing. They like to do meet and greets so that you know where your pet is staying and they have tons of toys and treats for your dog so they feel right at home. They do daily out side breaks and Miriam works from home so you’ll have eyes on your pets 24/7. Both are them are so extremely sweet and treated my dog with such love and care I couldn’t ask for a better sitter and I could truly tell that my dog was loved for and taken care of to the best of his ability. They also give little report cards for your dog which is the cutest thing ever so you can see when they went outside, when they ate, when and what the played with and overall what your dog did over their stay. Truly recommend their services as they did an amazing job!”
“Peggy was excellent. She was very thorough prior to babysitting Sozo and was great about communication before and during his visit. She made her home a nice place for him to stay and i would recommend her! Sozo loved her four season room to look out the window!”
“Eric was awesome and super accomdating to us with timing even though our flight was delayed. We couldn't be more grateful for that and also knowing Papaya was in good hands during her stay. Papaya got along really well with Axl and Eric's family. We saw lots of pictures and a tired dog is always a good sign that she had tons of fun!”
About: I have always loved animals and we have dogs and cats at home. They are our family, and we’d love to have your pets join in on the fun! I work part-time from home and can let dogs out as often as needed. I’m happy to visit your home as well. My schedule is flexible to meet your needs! We are very cautious with doors to make sure no pets get outside without supervision. We aren’t allowed to have a fence in our neighborhood, so I’ll put dogs on a leash or a lead (depending on owner preference) to go outside. Our golden retriever loves to play, and is great at sharing his many toys!
“Danielle was nice enough to take our pups in an emergency situation. She was absolutely GREAT with them. They were well taken care of, even during a storm. You can rest assured Danielle will take the best care possible of your pets. We already have two other trips booked with her because she was sooo good”
About: Hello! We absolutely love all dogs. We have a beautiful 4 year old Weimaraner who we came into our life as a pup. We also have had two prior to her. We are comfortable with all aged dogs from the feisty puppies to the more quiet seniors. We have lots of experience with young puppies, senior dogs who need medication (oral pills or otherwise), and shy or energetic dogs. Linda even worked as a Vet Tech in high school and was a dog walker in college. We both are retired and love to sit outside with our dog and go for walks. As a visitor to our home, we are open to whatever method you employ for your dog’s safety. We have experience with crate training and are happy to continue those practices if you wish. Otherwise, your dog is free to roam our fenced yard and home. We are both retired, so have lots of time for your pup. Our dog always gets to go out whenever she wants. So will yours. We usually walk our dog in the morning afternoon and evening. If your dog is up to that, we will have her join us. We have a fenced in yard for the dogs to enjoy whenever they want. Our house is very dog friendly. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture. We do not leave any food out and have a dog proof garbage can too.
“Viri and her family were great! She accommodated my last minute booking during the holidays! She did an excellent job, was flexible, updated with pictures and my dog seemed to enjoy himself.”
“Penelope had a wonderful stay for the week. She was very well cared for, happy, and comfortable the entire time. Communication was great throughout the stay, and it was clear Penelope was treated like part of the family. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter”
“Leslie was amazing!!! It was obvious right away that my dogs loved her. She was so good with Molly and Bear, whether it was playtime or snuggle time. And she was absolutely wonderful about keeping us updated regularly! It’s hard to leave my pups, but her updates and pictures made it a lot easier. Leslie really cares for your pups. She is truly wonderful.”
“Selena is amazing! Crash is my baby boy and not only did she get him to get comfortable with other dogs but even got him to go on walks with other dogs!! Thank you so much for you amazing hospitality, she sent many pictures and video and updates reassuring me during my time gone. I will definitely be booking with Selena any time I will need boarding.”

“Our trips are always great knowing we have Amy taking care of our cats! Five stars isn’t enough to describe her care, dependability and expertise. We are so grateful we found her !! Thank you Amy!!”
“Anja & Josh K. went above and beyond to make sure my cat, Jade, was safe and well-cared for. 5 stars for maturity, experience and reliability. They provided Jade with an abundance of love and attention during every visit.”
“Keriann was AMAZING! She communicated throughout the entire process, took fantastic care of my Cats, and I felt at ease while I was aay from home. I will absolutely be using her again, and have referred her to others already!!”
“Erika was wonderful with my little cat Loki. Loki needed six medications every night and she was able to give them in a gentle but effective manner. Loki even purred afterwards! I would highly recommend Erika to everyone for animal care.”
About: I’ve worked in animal hospitals, training, boarding, & grooming. I currently own five geckos, two dogs, and one cat. Animal care is apart of my everyday routine! I trained my current dogs using positive reinforcement, which I am willing to enact on your pets as well if requested, and one of my dogs needs two medications every day, so I am more than willing to care for pets that require a little extra love. I am currently a dog groomer so I get to love and care for cats and dogs of all ages, shapes, & sizes for most of the week! On my free time, I have to do husbandry for five geckos, then care for my two dogs. I wish I could say my cat requires more work but all he does is lay around, so that makes my job easy! I will ask you for explicit directions and various questions to ensure the best & correct care for your animal. I won’t do anything you haven’t laid out for me except give them lots of love and attention!
“Grace was so helpful with our cats! She was easy to communicate with before and during our trip and we really appreciated her help. We will definitely use Grace for our next trip.”
“Cristal was very caring and took good care of my cats. This was my first time leaving them with a cat sitter so I was a bit anxious. The daily pictures she sent took away all my worries!”
About: In kennel settings I’ve worked it, I have also taken care of cats. I have my own as well. Don’t tell anyone but she’s probably the most spoiled pet in the house. I’m familiar with their behaviors and have an understanding of the care needed for them. They are our family and I’m here to take care of your fur baby in a way that shows that.
About: I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, and I always follow routines and instructions closely. I am currently at home for the summer from college and pet care fits easily into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day! I care for pets by following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning up after them. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for whether I’m in my home or my client’s home, and I always respect specific instructions provided by the owner.
About: I have grown up always have dogs and cats in my house. I am currently a college student and missed having pets so much that I had to get my own dog! I am currently unemployed so this would be my only responsibility. I am enrolled in 1 summer class but it is being delivered remote so I can do it from anywhere with a stable WiFi connection I have a fenced in backyard and a playful puppy myself. I can easily follow any instruction you have or rules you have put in place for your pets!
About: I have been walking and taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old, ranging from small dogs to huge dogs. I have experience with my own senior dog and am sensitive to the needs of dogs who are old or have unique health issues. Additionally, I have experience with other types of pets like insects, arachnids, amphibians, and reptiles. I am currently between jobs, so I am available for pet care needs on both weekdays and some weekends. I have a very open availability and I am happy to shift my schedule to match you and your pets' needs! At your home, I can take your pets outside on or off-leash, or let them out into a fenced-in yard with supervision. I enjoy sitting with and keeping pets company, even when they are relaxing or sleeping. I will work with you and your pets' needs in your home to ensure everyone is happy and healthy. :)
About: I have loved cats for as long as I can remember. I've had cats since I was a young child, and they have always been cherished members of my family. Throughout my life, I've cared for cats of all ages and personalities, from playful kittens to senior cats requiring extra attention and care. I often joke that my cats were my first children because I loved and cared for them with the same dedication, affection, and commitment that I would give any family member. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have also fostered animals for my local animal shelter. Fostering has given me experience helping animals adjust to new environments, build trust, and receive the patience and care they need to thrive. It has reinforced my belief that every animal deserves to feel safe, loved, and valued. When caring for cats, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I understand that cats thrive on consistency and that each one has a unique personality and comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys cuddles and attention or prefers a quieter, more independent approach, I will respect their needs while ensuring they receive excellent care, companionship, and plenty of love. My goal is for your cat to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away, and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they are in compassionate and experienced hands.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats every since I was 5 years old so I guess you could say I’m experienced!! I just received my graduate degree & now have plenty of time to provide exceptional care & love for your pups! 🐶 I’m available any day of the week for boarding, I work part time, have weekends off & have a very flexible schedule! I’m looking forward to providing exceptional care to your animal while you’re away! I have a fenced in yard and love to go for plenty of walks! Lots of space for your dog to explore in the house and backyard!
About: Before I’m a dog person, I’m an animal person and I’ve always loved cats. I can appreciate that not all cats are the same and that almost all have very different personalities. I also know that cats need far more unique care than dogs and may have extra steps.
About: I have a 8 year old Havanese named Jack. I have had him since he was 8 weeks old. I would love to help care for your fur baby while you’re away. I work full time so I can do drop in visits or walking in the morning before work and/or in the evening after work. Depending on your location, I may have availability to do lunch time visits. I like to be respectful of anyone’s home that I enter and take care of their pet as if they are my own even if it’s just a quick walk! I also like to abide by whatever routines you have in place for your pet.
About: I worked at an animal care clinic for three years where I was in charge of cat enrichment and socialization, and of course, cleaning. I have cleaned up the weirdest messes cats have made and began to look forward to what chaos each individual cat will bring to my day. I have three cats myself who are extremely spoiled and loved. I also have experience administering medications to cats, from pills to iv treatment, I have done it before.

“Thank you soooo much for the last minute daycare! You have a beautiful land! My dog is so happy and tired out yay! You guys are awesome will deff be booking again! Highly recommended!!”
About: I have always loved every different kind of animal out there, but spent my childhood with mostly just cats. 15 years ago, I adopted my first puppy, a German Short-haired Pointer, at the age of 8 weeks. My ex-husband and I decided to take the "treatless training" approach which was a huge success! Crate training, leash training, obedience training were all a collaborative effort and turned out extremely well. 10 years later, we adopted a sweet rescue named Gizmo who was already 7 years old, but became part of the family immediately. They have both passed on now to doggy heaven, but I am always the first to offer to care for other family member's pets anytime I can :) I'm currently working part-time from my home in Blackberry Creek and always have time for some fur-ball company. My 2 girls, 7 and 10 years old, are with me part time and are also very helpful, gentle and patient with our pets and hopefully yours! I have a fenced back yard with plenty of room for your fur-baby to play and exercise! If it better suits you, I can always come to your home as well for potty and play time :) UPDATE 6/8/26 - Since starting my Rover journey in 2022, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so many amazing pets and their wonderful families. Along the way, our household has grown and changed in ways I never expected. In 2023, one of my regular Rover pups (actually a senior pup) became a permanent part of our family. Tigger’s owner had rescued him from a Chicago Animal Shelter just months before I began caring for him. As a 100 lb. Staffordshire Terrier, Great Dane, Bully, etc. mix, Tigger was a big boy with an even bigger heart. His owner dedicated to helping him become the best version of himself, especially since he wasn’t always comfortable around other dogs. With patience, training, and love, he blossomed into the sweetest, gentlest giant you could imagine. When his owner unexpectedly passed away, her husband reached out to ask if I would consider adopting Tigger. My answer was immediate: absolutely. I couldn’t bear the thought of him returning to a shelter. Bringing Tiggy into our family was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My girls and I were lucky enough to love, spoil, and cherish him for three wonderful years before he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. We miss him every day, but are so grateful for the time we had together. Since then, we’ve also welcomed two adorable brother cats into our home. They keep us smiling and full our days with plenty of fun and affection. While our family has grown, we’re excited to have some doggy energy back in the house through Rover! When your pup stays with us, they’ll be welcomed with open arms and treated like a part of the family. We understand how much your pets mean to you because we’ve experienced firsthand just how special that bond can be. Our promise is simple: we’ll care for your furry family member with the same love, attention, and respect that we give our own. I work from home full time, so am able to provide your pup with all of the attention they deserve. They are free to run around in the fenced-in backyard and play at their fullest extent! Every pet owner has a different perspective on how to care for their pets. Some require a special routine for dinnertime or bedtime, while others require basic care with lots of love. I will follow whatever instructions are given to me by the owner…and I promise not to judge 😊
About: I have cared for my pets since young child and have owned my own 4acre farmette for last 27yrs. I have horses, chickens, fish, and an amazing Mail-Dutchie dog. I have a work from home career allowing me flexibility to be home and have also worked for a leading pet kennel/training/boarding/grooming facility that allowed me hands on handling for many different breed, size, difficulty, and aged pets. Trustworthy and reliable and enjoy all the wonderful and beautiful personalities our pets have and embrace them all! Dogs allowed on bed for sleeping time to cuddle but not on furniture. Prefer dogs that can feel comfortable in a roomy kennel should need arise to leave my home for a couple hours as to keep all fur babies safe in their own space while unsupervised. Well mannered pups preferred, Photos and videos provided during days activities. Attentive and loving, I’ll treat your pet like my own! I have a work from home career that allows me the flexibility to be with your fur baby for all their needs and attention during their stay. I also provide crates to be sure all boarders are kept safe if need arises to leave home to ensure safety of all furry friends. I have a well trained and behaved dog that loves the company of our boarding friends. I make sure to have 5x day let out and a tie line that allows them to privacy but security during pottie breaks.
About: Hello! Kim and family here. We have over 30 years of animal care experience. From cats and dogs to lizards and horses. We feel comfortable with a variety of animals. With a background in law enforcement adjacent positions and a TS clearance. Clean background. Bachelors level education in behavioral science and criminal justice and security administration, as well as CPR certifications for humans and animals, and a vet assisting certification/experience! We can administer insulin and give oral medications. We also LOVE elderly animals. We are licensed bonded and insured. And have decades of the world under our feet. Animals are like people to us. We actually prefer them, and function with them better. Living on a five acre hobby farm for over a decade. They are literally our family now that the kids have aged into adults. It’s me and my husband Mike here. My family helps me operate a small pet care business out of Big Rock IL. House Sitting: We treat your home with respect and follow all of your rules. Water plants. Get mail. And stick to pet schedules. Please advise we do this full time. Each sitting is different as each animal and owner ask for different things. If full time care is needed it will be an extended stay rate of 125 for 8am through 8pm hours and 75 for the night. If we can’t come and go. We can’t make money. This is all I do for income and no one can survive off of only 75 or less for the day. Otherwise most sittings look like me making that my center of gravity through any schedule I have for the day. Usually no longer than four to six hours away from the home while out with drops in accrued in a single day. For Boarding: PLEASE READ: This is a home setting; we do not consistently tour our home. I believe the photos on here and reviews do us justice. We send pet parents updates with the surrounding view almost daily to every other day. Having people walk through the house consistently was just too much for out family and the farm animals here. So we do not do this anymore. In the future we may build a kennel/outbuildings addition, and will offer tours of that should the time ever come that we decide to do that. But again, WE DO NOT PROVIDE TOURS OF OUR PERSONAL HOME. There are also other considerations to consider that most residential people do not account for. 1. Liability coverage: my liability coverage covers your animals. Not you. 2. Animal anxiety: it’s a chain. The system I have for doing things allows for animals to be as calm and anxiety free as possible. If you’re on the property. The regulars don’t know you and anxiety fills the entire area. 3. Biosecurity: Don’t take this the wrong way. I don’t know where your shoes have been. 4. Private farm setting: exactly as it states. The lay out past my private acres long drive does not even allow access to my front door without going through two secured gates. It’s not easy access. 5. Safety: I live in the middle of nowhere, and do not need anyone to know the exact lay out of my home. You’re signing up for pet service. I am providing this service. Not giving people access to my home. Thank you for understanding. Please note this is a country setting. Someone is always here if I (Kim) am not. Sometimes photos have issues sending. But they always eventually go through. Service can be patchy because it’s the country. Text updates are reliably daily. I pride myself on building close relationships with my clients. I treat the animals I care for with top priority as my family does this full time and this is our entire income. Our reviews and the animals we care for speak for themselves. If you’re looking for someone to love and care for your animals with truth, trust, and transparency. That also has a family of well versed animal humans at her disposal as back up care approved through Rover. You are in the right place. Look forward to hearing from you. -Kimberly, Mike, and Family. Please note that prices will more than likely rise, since Rover has gone from taking 20 percent of each booking to now 30 percent from sitters. Prices must rise to enable us to continue providing service while combating this rise in inflation, not only on the platform, but in the world. Liability contract needed to continue service with the understanding that dogs bark, bite, scratch, and get into physical environmental factors. In a farm setting please make sure all of your animals are on needed monthly flea and tick preventative as well as heart guard. I have plenty of time for your pups and their specific needs/routines. We cater to every animal as if they were our own, and understand each one is special and different. We have a double fenced yard, with lots of open space indoors and out. Extra crates and or farm house furniture for your pets needs.

“This was Olive’s first visit. Since she is a puppy and doesn’t have regular exposure to other dogs, she was very timid. This was a great first visit due to Jessica and Chrisitan’s kind and patient manner. We’ll definitely schedule another play date with Jessica.”
“Jackie was phenomenal. I reached out pretty last minute with a request that wasn’t exactly simple—she had to pick Ghost up from his training facility (not from me) and coordinate all of that seamlessly. On top of that, she even helped me sort out a small payment detail on Rover to make sure everything reflected correctly, which she absolutely didn’t have to do. She was super responsive, easy to work with, and just handled everything without friction. And the best part—Ghost lit up the second he saw her again after a few months, which tells you everything you need to know. Somehow she manages all of this while caring for multiple dogs at once and raising a young family, which honestly makes it even more impressive. Highly recommend giving Jackie a shot.”
“Our dog had a wonderful day with Donna and her dog, which included plenty of outdoor play. Donna is patient, calm, and genuinely cares about dogs. We are happy that we found Donna and are looking forward to more visits in the near future.”
“Stephanie is absolutely wonderful, and I felt completely safe leaving my precious pup with her for the weekend! We are so grateful to have found such a great Rover fit with her! Thank you Stephanie :)”
“Max had a wonderful time spending the day with Roger and his two dogs. Roger provided many pictures and a great summary of Max's time spent there. Highly recommend.”
About: Hi there! I'm Jasmine, your friendly and dependable dog sitter and walker. With a passion for dogs and a deep understanding of their needs, I'm here to provide top-notch care for your furry family members. I know how much your pets mean to you, and I'm dedicated to ensuring their happiness and well-being while you're away. I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Neighbors and family friends knew they could rely on me to feed, walk, and care for their pets. They never had to worry about them while they were in my care. Being a pet owner myself, I know that pets are more than animals that live with you. They’re your comfort during the good, bad, and the ugly, they’re cuddle buddies on cold stormy nights and your best friends. More importantly, they’re family. When your dog is with me, he/she will be treated like one of the family. I am currently a college student attending classes from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. I am free the rest of the day, in between classes and mornings to play with your pups! If you need me for a drop-in or to walk your dog during those hours I can between 10 am and 12:30. I am also available for house-sitting on weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I believe communication is essential for quality service and customer satisfaction. If you ever need to contact me while I’m with your pet, a number will be provided for you to text or call. As a Rover user myself, I appreciate sitters who consistently keep me updated on my pet’s status. I will update you with pictures of your pup and all our endeavors while we’re together.
“So incredible! She is very attentive and responsive! We got video and photo updates throughout the day which made me know our dogs were well taken care of! Our dogs came home happy and tired! There is honestly nothing better than that. Cannot recommend Vanessa enough!!”

Whether it's a day of play or an overnight stay, your dog's happiness and safety are my top priorities. My home is a haven for dogs, featuring a spacious fenced yard where they can run and play freely. I also have a dog-friendly pool that's perfect for a supervised splash or a cool dip on a hot day

I am happy to follow any specific rules or guidelines from the owner as well.
“It was our first time using a sitter for our puppy so we were understandably nervous, but Danielle was great! She met with us ahead of time and our dog got a chance to play with her adorable puppy. She was great at communicating day of and even sent us a picture to let us know how things were going. We will be using her again!”

My ex-husband and I decided to take the "treatless training" approach which was a huge success! Crate training, leash training, obedience training were all a collaborative effort and turned out extremely well. 10 years later, we adopted a sweet rescue named Gizmo who was already 7 years old, but became part of the family immediately. They have both passed on now to doggy heaven, but I am always the first to offer to care for other family member's pets anytime I can :) I'm currently working part-time from my home in Blackberry Creek and always have time for some fur-ball company. My 2 girls, 7 and 10 years old, are with me part time and are also very helpful, gentle and patient with our pets and hopefully yours! I have a fenced back yard with plenty of room for your fur-baby to play and exercise! If it better suits you, I can always come to your home as well for potty and play time :) UPDATE 6/8/26 - Since starting my Rover journey in 2022, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so many amazing pets and their wonderful families. Along the way, our household has grown and changed in ways I never expected. In 2023, one of my regular Rover pups (actually a senior pup) became a permanent part of our family. Tigger’s owner had rescued him from a Chicago Animal Shelter just months before I began caring for him. As a 100 lb. Staffordshire Terrier, Great Dane, Bully, etc. mix, Tigger was a big boy with an even bigger heart. His owner dedicated to helping him become the best version of himself, especially since he wasn’t always comfortable around other dogs. With patience, training, and love, he blossomed into the sweetest, gentlest giant you could imagine. When his owner unexpectedly passed away, her husband reached out to ask if I would consider adopting Tigger. My answer was immediate: absolutely. I couldn’t bear the thought of him returning to a shelter. Bringing Tiggy into our family was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My girls and I were lucky enough to love, spoil, and cherish him for three wonderful years before he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. We miss him every day, but are so grateful for the time we had together. Since then, we’ve also welcomed two adorable brother cats into our home. They keep us smiling and full our days with plenty of fun and affection. While our family has grown, we’re excited to have some doggy energy back in the house through Rover! When your pup stays with us, they’ll be welcomed with open arms and treated like a part of the family. We understand how much your pets mean to you because we’ve experienced firsthand just how special that bond can be. Our promise is simple: we’ll care for your furry family member with the same love, attention, and respect that we give our own. I work from home full time, so am able to provide your pup with all of the attention they deserve. They are free to run around in the fenced-in backyard and play at their fullest extent! Every pet owner has a different perspective on how to care for their pets. Some require a special routine for dinnertime or bedtime, while others require basic care with lots of love. I will follow whatever instructions are given to me by the owner…and I promise not to judge 😊
About: I’ve worked in animal hospitals, training, boarding, & grooming. I currently own five geckos, two dogs, and one cat. Animal care is apart of my everyday routine! I trained my current dogs using positive reinforcement, which I am willing to enact on your pets as well if requested, and one of my dogs needs two medications every day, so I am more than willing to care for pets that require a little extra love. I am currently a dog groomer so I get to love and care for cats and dogs of all ages, shapes, & sizes for most of the week! On my free time, I have to do husbandry for five geckos, then care for my two dogs. I wish I could say my cat requires more work but all he does is lay around, so that makes my job easy! I will ask you for explicit directions and various questions to ensure the best & correct care for your animal. I won’t do anything you haven’t laid out for me except give them lots of love and attention!
“Kimberly was amazing with our crazy dog! We just moved and he was a bit anxious, but he loved her! She even offered to sew up one of the things he tore up in his kennel! She is so sweet and kept me informed on how my crazy little boy was doing while I was at work! I will definitely book her again!”

About: I have been walking and taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old, ranging from small dogs to huge dogs. I have experience with my own senior dog and am sensitive to the needs of dogs who are old or have unique health issues. Additionally, I have experience with other types of pets like insects, arachnids, amphibians, and reptiles. I am currently between jobs, so I am available for pet care needs on both weekdays and some weekends. I have a very open availability and I am happy to shift my schedule to match you and your pets' needs! At your home, I can take your pets outside on or off-leash, or let them out into a fenced-in yard with supervision. I enjoy sitting with and keeping pets company, even when they are relaxing or sleeping. I will work with you and your pets' needs in your home to ensure everyone is happy and healthy. :)
About: Hi! My wife and I love animals. We currently offer drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting (mainly on weekends). We are very compassionate about animals and would love to keep your pet company while you are away. Both of us work mostly remotely, so we have a flexible schedule and can adjust to your pet's needs. We personally own 3 lovely beagles, so there is no such thing as too many pets. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions or for a meet and greet! We would love to check-in on your pet for either a brief or extended stay, whatever you have going on. Willing to accept pets with any medical condition, and willing to administer any prescriptions they might need. All that we ask is that you let us know about any behaviors (i.e. dog-reactive, loud noises, not good with children etc.) so we can ensure a safe environment for your pet. Thanks for considering us! I work from home and my wife works remotely several days a week, so we both have a very flexible schedule and can adjust to the needs of each individual pet we care for. We ensure that we fully understand the daily routines and living arrangements of each pet so we can keep their routines the same while the owner is away and ensure a safe environment.
About: Hi, I'm Kyra. I have around five years of experience taking care of my own pets and working with animals in my career, every day. I grew up around pets and love making a real connection with them. I'm a graduate of Vet Tech Institute of Fox College and constantly looking to put a smile on our furry friends’ faces. I can guarantee your pets will be well cared for and loved during my visit and beyond (love at first paw 🐾). I typically work eight hours or less a day but I strive to be as available as I can for your pets! I’m very communicative about my availability on a day-to-day or week-to-week basis, so working around your pets’ needs is my ultimate goal. I offer pet sitting at the client's home, dog walking, and drop-in visits. For good care, it is important that the pet has a fenced in area to do activities with the sitter. If not, I will gladly take the pet to the park in order for them to get in daily activity needs.

About: My husband, Chris, and I can be your dog’s new best friend! We have 2 rescue dogs of our own and they have trained us well! We can provide walks, play time, belly rubs, or anything else your fur baby needs. During drop in visits, We will feed/water as necessary, spend time getting to know your dog, play time and some good quality personal interaction. Our walks will provide your dog the exercise he/she needs to stay active and release some of that puppy energy. We enjoy walks and consider them valuable bonding time with your dog, creating a trusting relationship. We also use that time to work on outdoor manners through positive reinforcement. We have had pets all our lives , so We are comfortable around all types of dogs. We can also care for your cat as well. We look forward to meeting your pup! My work from home schedule allows the ability to schedule around your pets needs. I always allow extra time in case my furry friends need some additional attention or snuggles. I only accept appointments when I know there’s in time in the my schedule , so your pet’s visit is NEVER rushed. Home visits are catered to your pet’s needs. Meals, treats, playtime, belly rubs, etc. I always discuss what you want for your dog visits, with you, beforehand. Walks can also be broken up into walk time/playtime if you prefer. Not all fur babies are the same, so please let me know what yours likes!
About: Hello! 😁 🐾 I solely believe that dogs should be treated just like any other family member! There is a reason “DOG” spelled backwards is “GOD!” I have been an animal lover all my life for as long as I can remember, always taking inspiration from the Irwin Family! It would be a great honor to walk your dog as I am a lover of all dogs! I treat all dogs the same with equal amounts of respect and care. I'm a big advocate for walking dogs on the daily, as it is important to keep them healthy and happy and to ultimately maintain their health/wellness!

I understand not every pet likes to be social, so I will take that in to consideration. I will keep in mind of your pet's lifestyle and how active they are to determine how much exercise best fits their needs. I am blessed to have a lot of experience with pets, as I have worked in the Veterinary Field, grew up in a house full of pets, and have a dog of my very own. I have worked with many different types of dogs of different sizes and personalities and have learned many various techniques and skill-sets along the way. I am always looking to expand my knowledge from what I’ve already learned and grow in each experience! I'm able to use harnesses, leashes and collars of different kinds: retractable, chain, fabric... Ultimately, I put the pet first and will make sure they are in very great hands!

“Grace was amazing handling my German Shepard, My dog is sweet but can be intimidating. He is strong and will bark at other dogs on walks so I always worry a little if people will be comfortable walking him. Grace was awesome with him and put me at ease. I’m so glad I found her to help me out and would use her again!”
About: I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, and I always follow routines and instructions closely. I am currently at home for the summer from college and pet care fits easily into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day! I care for pets by following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning up after them. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for whether I’m in my home or my client’s home, and I always respect specific instructions provided by the owner.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care, patience, and attention I give every pet. I’ve been around dogs and helping care for them since I was 10, which has given me experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I also currently have a one-year-old puppy of my own, so I’m very familiar with energetic dogs, maintaining routines, reinforcing good behavior, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I understand how important consistency and trust are when caring for someone’s pet, and I always make sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether they’re playful and active or prefer a calmer environment. Pet parents can expect reliable communication, regular updates, and lots of photos for peace of mind. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I’m currently in grad school and work for a local school district, which means I have summers off and additional flexibility throughout the year. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends, and I do my best to accommodate different routines and last-minute needs when possible. Because I have a one-year-old puppy of my own, I’m already used to maintaining consistent feeding, potty, exercise, and play schedules, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve while their owners are away. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they can feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay on their normal schedule with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m respectful of each home and always keep pet areas clean, secure, and safe. Because I have a one-year-old puppy of my own, I’m very mindful about supervision, consistency, and creating a positive environment for animals. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I’ve had Dogs since I was little. I currently have 2 German Short Haired Pointers which is a very high energy breed dog. With that being said I’m comfortable and able to care for small to big dogs including high energy fur babies🐾 I’ve also been a Nanny for 4 years and care for toddlers so i’m ready for anything! I’m currently working part time as a nanny while attending ECC for Nursing. This allows me to have a flexible schedule to care for your pet(s)! Having owned dogs my whole life i’m comfortable with any care your pet may need. For example, giving dogs medication as my own dog is very stubborn about it.

“Mera does a wonderful job with our dog, she takes great care of him and we are always happy to leave him with her. She even went the extra mile this time since he’s getting older and is not doing well and it was very much appreciated by us.”
“Kimberly was amazing with my two girls, definitely a 5-star sitter! She sent photos updating me while I was away and was great calming my bi girl, who iI s afraid of thunder. She is communicative, timely, knowledgeable and loved my dogs like her own; I highly recommend Kimberly! !”
“Jackie was awesome!! She and her family showed so much love and care to our dog, Frank. He had a great time with a few other furry friends! It was so nice getting the photos from Jackie, several times a day. Jackie is so accommodating and caring! I wish we had discovered her sooner!! She is the best!!”
“Our elderly and special needs Pomeranian felt right at home with Jill and her family. We could see his happiness each day in the wonderful pictures she sent us. A home filled with love for animals. We will absolutely book with Jill again ❤️”
“We were fortunate to find Shannon. We have a somewhat special needs dog (Sandy) and didn’t think we could find an appropriate sitter. But Sandy quickly accepted Shannon and her two beautiful dogs, Lex and Captain Black. We were able to enjoy a worry free trip knowing Sandy was receiving excellent care. We highly recommend Shannon and will use her service in the future.”
“Amazing dog sitter! She sent a bunch of pictures of my dog during his stay and took him on some really nice walks. He seemed really happy when I picked him up. Definitely recommend!”
About: I've been caring for animals for over 12 years, starting with my own dog, Lola. Since both of my parents worked, I was often responsible for feeding her, taking her on walks, playing with her, and making sure she was well cared for. That experience taught me responsibility from a young age and helped me develop a genuine love for animals. Since then, I've cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors, including dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I am currently home for the summer, which means my availability is very flexible and I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. Once summer ends, I will be continuing my pilot training and taking online courses through Lewis University. Even then, my schedule will remain flexible, allowing me to continue providing reliable and attentive care for your pets. I have a fenced yard and one dog of my own, Phoebe, who is incredibly friendly and loves being around other dogs. She can play all day long and does a great job helping other dogs feel comfortable in a new environment! If your pet will be staying in my home, I would be more than happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand so they can get to know Phoebe and make sure everyone is a good fit. Your pet's safety and well being are always my top priorities, and I will follow any routines or instructions you provide to help them feel right at home!
“Omg Amy is the best! She was so caring for my puppy and I absolutely felt like he is at home. He was well taken care of. I really really love the way she paid attention to detail and also sent me pictures and videos from time to time. Will work with her again!”
“Peggy was excellent. She was very thorough prior to babysitting Sozo and was great about communication before and during his visit. She made her home a nice place for him to stay and i would recommend her! Sozo loved her four season room to look out the window!”
About: I have always loved animals and we have dogs and cats at home. They are our family, and we’d love to have your pets join in on the fun! I work part-time from home and can let dogs out as often as needed. I’m happy to visit your home as well. My schedule is flexible to meet your needs! We are very cautious with doors to make sure no pets get outside without supervision. We aren’t allowed to have a fence in our neighborhood, so I’ll put dogs on a leash or a lead (depending on owner preference) to go outside. Our golden retriever loves to play, and is great at sharing his many toys!
About: Hello! We absolutely love all dogs. We have a beautiful 4 year old Weimaraner who we came into our life as a pup. We also have had two prior to her. We are comfortable with all aged dogs from the feisty puppies to the more quiet seniors. We have lots of experience with young puppies, senior dogs who need medication (oral pills or otherwise), and shy or energetic dogs. Linda even worked as a Vet Tech in high school and was a dog walker in college. We both are retired and love to sit outside with our dog and go for walks. As a visitor to our home, we are open to whatever method you employ for your dog’s safety. We have experience with crate training and are happy to continue those practices if you wish. Otherwise, your dog is free to roam our fenced yard and home. We are both retired, so have lots of time for your pup. Our dog always gets to go out whenever she wants. So will yours. We usually walk our dog in the morning afternoon and evening. If your dog is up to that, we will have her join us. We have a fenced in yard for the dogs to enjoy whenever they want. Our house is very dog friendly. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture. We do not leave any food out and have a dog proof garbage can too.
“Penelope had a wonderful stay for the week. She was very well cared for, happy, and comfortable the entire time. Communication was great throughout the stay, and it was clear Penelope was treated like part of the family. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter”
“Leslie was amazing!!! It was obvious right away that my dogs loved her. She was so good with Molly and Bear, whether it was playtime or snuggle time. And she was absolutely wonderful about keeping us updated regularly! It’s hard to leave my pups, but her updates and pictures made it a lot easier. Leslie really cares for your pups. She is truly wonderful.”
“Selena is amazing! Crash is my baby boy and not only did she get him to get comfortable with other dogs but even got him to go on walks with other dogs!! Thank you so much for you amazing hospitality, she sent many pictures and video and updates reassuring me during my time gone. I will definitely be booking with Selena any time I will need boarding.”
“Great hosts and couple! They took Dexter in on such short notice with welcoming Arms. Definitely going to reach out to them in the future when we’re out of town. Thank you so much!”
“Stephanie was absolutely who we needed for our first time using Rover for our two dogs. A little apprehensive, but completely reassured within two minutes of meeting Stephanie and knowing our boys would be in great hands. We received multiple pictures and updates while we were away. If we need a dog sitter in the future, Stephanie is who we hope to use again!”
“This was the first time we have used a sitter for our pup outside of family or close friends, and Ashley and her family were simply wonderful. She provided daily updates, fun photos and videos, and gave me comfort that our pup was happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Ashley, and we will be return visitors!”
“Absolutely amazing! Kind, considerate person. I received regular updates and pictures. I could have not been happier or felt more comfortable leaving my fur baby in their care!”
