“Picked up a happy dog after a few days with Denis and Nikki. They have a great setup that is super dog friendly. Highly reccomend if you need boarding in the area.”
“This was a great fit for our pup. He is an older dog, so not as active. Still loves walks, but very big on rest, relaxing and tons of cuddles. Chisato was great at sending updates, pictures, videos - I could tell he was very well cared for. Will definitely be a repeat customer, assuming schedules on both sides allow for it!”
“Hannah was incredible! She has such a way with dogs. You can tell from the moment you meet her, that she is just the most warm and caring person, and that extends to all the furry friends, too. She was flexible, asked all the pertinent questions, sent daily updates, and I loved all the pictures she sent. I would absolutely trust her to take care of my dog again. Highly highly recommend!”
“Mary and Norm are the best! This was my dog’s first time staying with someone that wasn’t a friend or family so I was a little nervous. Mary sent me updates and pictures the whole time I was away and that put my mind and heart at ease. She was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to my messages. They are a wonderful couple and I wouldn’t want my dog staying with anyone else in the future . Highly recommend!!”
“Jayne was great. She sent us multiple updates a day, including pictures. She was quick to respond. It was very easy to coordinate drop-off and pick-up times. And our dog Conrad, seemed in great spirits when we picked him up.”
“Dublin’s stay at Sarah’s went well. She sent pictures and gave us a report out when we picked her up. I was a bit concerned that the fence was fairly short given that we have a lab, but she assured us she keeps the dogs on a leash whenever they’re in the yard. Thx, Sarah, we’ll definitely reach out for any future needs.”
“Jean was amazing with my golden. I loved getting pictures and videos daily and knowing that he was having a great time. My big guy has terrible anxiety during storms and is on a high dose of anxiety medication that sometimes works. When a bad storm rolled in Jean was compassionate and loving and notified me about his condition. As a very overprotective dog mom I trust Jean and we will definitely be using her again.”
“Juliana is a phenomenal sitter. From the start she was very responsive to every message. She was kind and made everything super easy. She updated me with pictures and videos throughout my dogs' stay. It definitely makes it easier to leave my dog in such capable hands. We had our next time booked before the first one ended.”
“Deirdre is clearly an experienced dog watcher! She took our dog for several days and was kind enough to even drop her off when our flight was getting in late. Her home is set up to watch dogs- gates back yard, understands how they interact, etc. highly recommend!!”
“by far one of the best Rovers sitters we’ve had! She cared for our dog like she was their own and sent us pictures and updates throughout her stay. We would definitely book again!”
“Julie was available last minute, and even with the limited time she was swift to respond and easy to communicate with. We dropped Brutus off and met her two dogs and son who would all be hanging out - I could instantly tell this was going to be great for our Maltese. After receiving a few fun photos throughout the stay, Brutus was happy and totally exhausted when we picked him up. Thanks for a great stay and highly recommended!”
“Jennifer and her family took good care of our little Jax. She sent pictures with updates during his stay. He seemed very happy and relaxed with them. We are glad we found someone who not only can take care of him but also cares about his well being.”
“Evie had such a good time at Rachel’s. She loved playing in her big back yard and looking out her bay window so much that she didn’t want to leave! We really appreciated how many pictures and videos Rachel sent while we were away and would absolutely book again.”
“Kim was wonderful sitter for Pepper. Pepper loves being at her place. The pictures and videos made us feel so happy knowing Pepper is being taken care well and look so happy. We definitely will book pepper again. Thank you Kim, you treated Pepper kike your own dog.”
“Byron and his family were excellent hosts and did a wonderful job keeping Gilbert happy. From the minute I dropped Gilbert off, I knew he would be in good hands. I was kept updated throughout the week with pics and texts, and he answered any questions I had promptly and with assurance. I will definitely have Gilbert board with Byron the next time I need to, and would recommend him as a top sitter.”
“Jacob took such great care of Mia and Watson, our two Boston Terriers. The dogs had plenty of space to run and lots of fun with his dog, Murphy. I will definitely ask Jacob to pet sit again!”
“We had a great experience with boarding at Nicole’s house! Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable the whole time. We loved getting updates and photos—it made everything so easy and stress-free. You can tell how much Nicole genuinely cares about dogs. Would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”
“Patricia was a wonderful host to our beloved cavalier Rudy who arrived a bit under the weather and shy. He had a playmate (Duke) waiting for him when we arrived. Rudy quickly accomodated to the unfamiliar, but dog-friendly environment. We appreciated the photos, as well.”

“Beth was exceptional with our cats. She kept in close communication while we were gone and gave regular updates. It was evident that the cats were comfortable with Beth; when we got home they showed no signs of stress or misbehavior. I would wholeheartedly recommend Beth to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat Margot received from Chloe! She typically takes a while to warm up, but within a couple of days, she was clearly comfortable and content—and it showed in all the sweet photos I received throughout the week. The updates were thoughtful and consistent, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. My home was spotless when I returned, and Margot was even waiting at the door—clearly expecting her new favorite person. Truly excellent care all around. Highly recommend Chloe!”
“Tara instantly accepted my booking request and was really easy to communicate with leading up to the booking. She gave great reports and photos while doing the drop ins. Thanks Tara!”
“Our cat sitter Danielle was extremely professional, showed genuine care for our cat, and kept us consistently updated throughout the entire stay. We felt completely at ease knowing our cat was in such attentive and reliable hands. We would highly recommend her services and book them again!”
“Steve is wonderful!! He really went above and beyond for us. He was attentive and caring with my animals, on time, thorough and communicative. I felt so much peace of mind knowing that he was taking care of them. I will absolutely book him any time I need help with my pets. I can’t recommend him enough!!! Thank you Steve!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old. I have experience with dogs ranging from 6 pounds to 102 pounds. I have taken care of sick dogs as well as large dogs that have trouble walking. I genuinely love and care for every dog I encounter. I have availability throughout the week from the morning to the afternoon (Mon-fri). I am happy to do up to 5 walks a day. I cannot work weekends. I’m very aware when opening a door to not let the dogs escape. I understand that some dogs don’t enjoy their crate and have learned tricks to getting them to enter. I keep a strong grip on the leash in case of a squirrel encounter.
“I had an amazing experience with my pet sitter! She took excellent care of my two kittens, Panther and Mochi, and made sure they were always happy and entertained. I loved how much she played with them and kept them active. One of my favorite parts was receiving videos and pictures throughout the time she had them. It gave me so much peace of mind. She was truly an excellent caregiver, and I would definitely bring them back to her in the future whenever needed! Thanks so much!!!”
About: I have taken care of cats for about a year before. I am allergic slightly so I don’t keep one in the house regularly but for sitting purposes I am ok. I have a dog in the house who loves other animals including cats.
“Diana was wonderful with our two playful kitties over the holidays! She was always on time, was very communicative, and had great attention to detail. Most of all, I can tell she really cares for animals. I highly recommend her and would love to have her watch our kitties anytime!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely incredible! Amazing communication and sent me so many photos which made me very happy while I was away! My pet loved her so much I don’t even think she missed me! Definitely will be asking her again and highly recommend!!”
“Sydney took great care of my cat. She sent regular photo updates. She gave Pip plenty of attention during visits and Pip even posed with her for a selfie. Pip never does selfies. When I got home, my cat was happy and calm. I will absolutely hire Sydney again.”
“Christina was amazing!! We knew she was special when she got our very timid Bodhi to come out of hiding on her very first visit!! She sent lots of photos and updates, and our spoiled kitties were clearly very happy and pampered in her care. She made us feel a lot less guilty about leaving them, haha. We would highly recommend her, and would definitely have her look after our kitties again 😊”

“Thank you so much for accepting my booking at the last minute — I truly appreciate it! 😊 Thank you also for taking such good care of Nysa and making sure she was fed, even though she can be a little stubborn sometimes.

About: My wife, Jana, and I have been dog lovers our entire lives. Currently, we're proud parents to our wonderful pup, Lula. Lula is a 75lb Komondor-mix.

We'd love to open our home to another dog, if only temporarily, to bring some companionship to Lula and fill our hearts with double joy once again.

As an adult I continue to own cats and dogs and currently own 2 cats. I will treat your pet as a member of my family while in my care. I nursed my cat to health from losing a kidney and he lived till he was 17yo. I nursed my geriatric dog with eye disease, arthritis until he was 14.5yo. I am more experienced with adult and geriatric pets than babies but welcome all. I am currently unemployed and seeking supplemental income. I'm also healing from CIRS/Lyme and need a walking partner to improve my health! My schedule is flexible although I do often have evening commitments with my son and his activities. My yard is large and fenced in. I live next to several walking trails and have a quiet neighborhood. I live close to a dog park and dog beach. I am familiar with crate training and administering medications.

“Pat took great care of my dog. She has a lot of experience and really cares about animals. This was my dog's first time with Pat and he seemed to have enjoyed himself (even though he was a little uneasy with an unfamiliar environment). I definitely recommend Pat to care for your fur babies.”
About: As an experienced, full time dog sitter, I'm here to provide your small to medium sized dog a safe, clean, & cozy home environment. If your dog is not comfortable in a kennel, I'm your answer. As a former paraprofessional for children with special needs, and a mom, I have the experience and loving heart to meet your dog's emotional and structural needs. BOARDING: The core of my business is overnight sitting in my smoke-free home environment. Your dog will get my love and attention all day and through the night. No crating unless you request it. Protected mealtimes, proper rest, and outdoor time in my fenced in backyard. Whether your dog sleeps in a crate, a floor bed, or in my bed, I am there with your dog all night long. My mission is to keep your dog happy and healthy, and give owners peace of mind. You will receive photos and updates by text messaging throughout your dog's stay. Check out my photo gallery! Resident dog, Hawkeye, is a "Teddy Bear", (mix of Shih Tzu, Bichon Frise, and Poodle). He does not shed, and is hypoallergenic. His personality is calm and relaxed, except when the garbage trucks come by. 😉 DAYCARE: Offered only as needed for existing customers. CHECK-IN SERVICES: If you have a larger dog or cats, I can stop by to let your dogs outside, provide food and water, & clean litter boxes. On an as needed basis only, not full time. ABOUT ME: I love getting to know and care for guest dogs, and have been living with and learning about dogs for over 8 years as an owner, and over 7 years as a host. A love for dogs (and all animals) is so natural, enjoyable, and rewarding for me. My approach with dogs is based on the philosophy of Temple Grandin's “Animals in Translation” research to fulfill a dog's emotional needs first. Prior to this, for 5 years, I was a paraprofessional with the Special Education District of Lake County (SEDOL). I have experience in ABA therapy for children with autism, positive reinforcement, crisis management, and classroom management. Pet care IS my daily routine. Your pet will settle in quickly as she/he always has a person to depend on, and my friendly dog keeping watch over her/him. Your dog will enjoy outdoor freedom, fresh cold filtered water, protected meal times, comfy beds and furniture for lounging, and a nice lady who cares as much about your peace of mind as she does about your precious pet. A safe environment is a must, that’s why I have a fenced in yard, and a three door system for entering and leaving the house. I keep a clean house too.
About: I am Isabella C. I am currently a freshman in college and I love learning about new experiences and meeting new animals. Last year as my senior year of high school I would take care of dogs within 20 miles, I would take them on walks depending how big or small the dog was I would tire them out. Sometimes I would dog sit and I would take the dogs out, give them medication and feed them. I am very responsible by taking care of them. I love dogs and I really enjoy their company and just learning more about them because they help us. I hope to meet pets with great personalities and continue to help these pets by taking them on walks or playing with them.

Emmy Bowser and Felix are very friendly and haven’t met a dog they don’t love. I also have a two year old daughter who loves dogs, but your dog must be good with young children. I work from home so I can easily let your dog out for potty breaks throughout the day and take them for walks on a break I have a fenced in yard and a crate if needed. My dogs sleep in the bed with me so that’s fine if that is what your dog is used to

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was young, starting with my neighbor's Old English Sheepdog. Today, I'm the go-to sitter my sister relies on to care for her little fluffball, whether it's for an evening away or extended vacations. I'm comfortable providing consistent, attentive care for every pet -- and following your every instruction to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you're away. I currently work a flexible, non-traditional schedule that includes fantasy illustration projects and teaching art classes. This gives me built-in gaps during the day that I'd love to fill with dog care, whether that means walks, playtime, or multi-day companionship. Your dog's routine and well-being are my top priorities. I make sure that your dog gets the best care possible and will follow all instructions to the letter: setting phone alarms to ensure potty breaks and meals happen right on time, monitoring treats so your dog is neither over- nor under-indulged, and sticking closely to established sleep schedules. I'm equally respectful of your home, taking care to leave it as clean and orderly (or better) than when I arrived.
About: Hi, I’m Christine! I’ve been a devoted pet parent for over 30 years, and my love for animals is truly at the heart of everything I do.

“Picked up a happy dog after a few days with Denis and Nikki. They have a great setup that is super dog friendly. Highly reccomend if you need boarding in the area.”
“This was a great fit for our pup. He is an older dog, so not as active. Still loves walks, but very big on rest, relaxing and tons of cuddles. Chisato was great at sending updates, pictures, videos - I could tell he was very well cared for. Will definitely be a repeat customer, assuming schedules on both sides allow for it!”
“This was my first time leave my dog Bruce anywhere other than my house. He can be a little anxious, so we were nervous to do this, but gave it a shot considering all the positive reviews Dee had. Dee updated us several times a day with messages and pictures/ videos of Bruce, which helped us relax because he looked happy at her house. Dee was very responsive to messages when we replied and we will be booking again for future trips if she is available!!”
“Hannah was incredible! She has such a way with dogs. You can tell from the moment you meet her, that she is just the most warm and caring person, and that extends to all the furry friends, too.

“Mary and Norm are the best! This was my dog’s first time staying with someone that wasn’t a friend or family so I was a little nervous. Mary sent me updates and pictures the whole time I was away and that put my mind and heart at ease. She was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to my messages. They are a wonderful couple and I wouldn’t want my dog staying with anyone else in the future . Highly recommend!!”
“Dublin’s stay at Sarah’s went well. She sent pictures and gave us a report out when we picked her up. I was a bit concerned that the fence was fairly short given that we have a lab, but she assured us she keeps the dogs on a leash whenever they’re in the yard. Thx, Sarah, we’ll definitely reach out for any future needs.”
“Juliana is a phenomenal sitter. From the start she was very responsive to every message. She was kind and made everything super easy. She updated me with pictures and videos throughout my dogs' stay. It definitely makes it easier to leave my dog in such capable hands. We had our next time booked before the first one ended.”
“Deirdre is clearly an experienced dog watcher! She took our dog for several days and was kind enough to even drop her off when our flight was getting in late. Her home is set up to watch dogs- gates back yard, understands how they interact, etc. highly recommend!!”
“by far one of the best Rovers sitters we’ve had! She cared for our dog like she was their own and sent us pictures and updates throughout her stay. We would definitely book again!”
“Jennifer and her family took good care of our little Jax. She sent pictures with updates during his stay. He seemed very happy and relaxed with them. We are glad we found someone who not only can take care of him but also cares about his well being.”
“Byron and his family were excellent hosts and did a wonderful job keeping Gilbert happy. From the minute I dropped Gilbert off, I knew he would be in good hands. I was kept updated throughout the week with pics and texts, and he answered any questions I had promptly and with assurance. I will definitely have Gilbert board with Byron the next time I need to, and would recommend him as a top sitter.”
“Thao was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of our two dogs, Freyja and Odin. From the very beginning, Thao was incredibly responsive and quick to reply to all of our questions before we even booked. Throughout their stay, she kept us constantly updated with lots of fantastic pictures, which gave us great peace of mind knowing they were happy and in good hands. We are especially grateful for how super flexible and accommodating Thao was with a couple of our last-minute changes of plans. It really helped reduce our travel stress! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Thao will definitely be our go-to sitter for all our future trips. We highly recommend her!”
“We had a great experience with boarding at Nicole’s house! Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable the whole time. We loved getting updates and photos—it made everything so easy and stress-free. You can tell how much Nicole genuinely cares about dogs. Would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”
“Dan and Jana were phenomenal pet sitters! Their back yard is a perfect to run and play. They were consistent with updates and photos and were very easy to communicate with. Their dog Lula was great with our playful large dog and our more reserved small dog. They clearly have a lot of care for the dogs in their home, they even reached out to let us know our dog appeared to have an ear infection and were very helpful with applying medicine for her. We definitely plan to use their services again in the future.”
“We are very happy with the service provided by Yailyn. Hank stayed with her for 8 days and came home a very happy dog. She kept us updated throughout the trip, and sent us photos of Hank having a great time. We will definitely is Yailyn again. Thank you, Yailyn!”
