“Elena was amazing. She is truly a dog lover. Romeo was so comfortable at her home. He did not skip a beat. It was like he was at our extended family's home. I plan on using her exclusively in the future. Truly an amazing experience!”

“This is the second time I've used June and Wade. We had to add an additional day and thank goodness they were available! Another wonderful stay. Several pictures were sent. He really makes himself at home with them. Will definitely use them again!”


“Jessica took great care of Avery. She was boarding another rat terrier at the same time and took steps to ensure the two dogs got along at feeding time. Her daughter made sure Avery got lots of love and exercise. She came home happy & healthy. Overall it was a great experience.”

“Dorothy is amazing and we couldn’t recommend her enough. She took the time to get to know my pup and her needs, and sent many updates while we were away. We are happy to have found someone we trust so much!”

“Barb, was absolutely wonderful. Very accommodating and communicative. Our dog is a picky eater and she even went as far as feeding him out of her hand to make sure he was eating enough. We couldn’t have asked for a better care taker for our fur baby. Will definitely book again!”

“Michele is awesome! She’s very knowledgeable of dogs and dog behavior and I felt 100% confident leaving my fur babies under her care. Michelle gave great updates over the weekend that I cherished and it was clear the dogs were happy and very comfortable. I highly recommend Michele!”

“Ashley was great! She responded to my request almost immediately, was able to take care of my puppy upon very short notice, and she sent me cute pictures and videos throughout his short stay. I will definitely request Ashley again if we need a sitter.”

She has some specific dietary requirements that they handled perfectly, sharing updates and pictures the whole time we were gone. Great communication, made us feel at ease, and we would not hesitate calling on them again. Highly recommended!!”

“We have used Autumn’s services on multiple occasions and couldn’t be more impressed. She did a week of training with our puppy Ruby and took the best care of her. She came home a much better behaved dog. We have also used her general pet sitting service and Ruby has the best time with her. She sends pictures and updates and keeps us informed while Ruby is in her care. We will continue to count on Autumn for our future needs!”

“Carla was great. Left my German shorthair pointer for a 5 night stay while on a trip. With daily picture and video updates it made me more at ease while I was away. Thanks Carla!”

“This was Medea's second time staying with Derek, and she clearly had just as good a time as the first! She came home extremely tired and content, so I know she played a lot. Derek always sends prompt and detailed updates, so I know she's in good hands when we send her there.”

“Carisa did a wonderful job. She took really good care of my dog Simba. She was really attentive, and everything went off without a hitch. I could tell Simba was comfortable and happy, and it just gave me so much peace of mind. Overall, I’m really grateful for how smoothly it all went.” I would highly recommend her.”

“Ashley took great care of our husky, Cleo. We got so many pictures and videos which was really appreciated! Ashley was very communicative throughout the stay. We would definitely board Cleo with her again and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for doggie daycare and boarding in the area!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my fur babies received while I was away from Emily, her sons, and their pup Gertie! She's incredibly attentive and has a genuine love for animals. I received daily updates with photos, videos and notes of their daily adventures. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter! She is so kind and loving to our dogs.”

“We were able to rest well on our vacation, knowing our senior dog was in good hands. Jackie was attentive to her needs and made sure she was loved on while we were away.”


“Alicia was the best! I knew from our meet and greet that she was going to be great with Tig and of course she was. I had no worries while we were out of town as she sent updates and photos of our Tig often. I can tell he is going to miss his new hangout and all their love & cuddles. I will absolutely book again if I need to in the future.”

“Iwonka is an exceptional pet sitter! She went above and beyond by sending us videos of our furry friend, playing with him, and even brushing him. Gandalf was in great hands, and we highly recommend Iwonka for any pet sitting needs!”

“Chloe did great with my cat, Ellie. She came over twice a day with no issues and fed, watered, and cleaned the litter area for Ellie when I was out of town for two weeks. The house looks spotless and Ellie appreciated the company. Highly recommended!”

About: I am experienced in administering medicinal injections, nail trimming and teeth brushing of larger breeds, lifting 60+ lbs, pad and potty training, and assisting senior and special needs dogs. I currently work remote and spend most of the day with my own pup by my side. We go to the nearby dog park at least weekly, go on two 20-25 minute walks (1mi+) daily, and play regularly throughout the day. He is very friendly and happy to tag along for any walks or play times, if the company is welcomed. I have a large crate available, if needed, and an in ground stake in the front and back yard with 30ft leads attached, allowing for plenty of time outside in shaded and unshaded areas. Food bowls are cleaned after every meal and pet waste is cleaned up after every trip outside.
“My partner and I are so grateful for Janet! She made our trip completely stress free with her high quality care and service. She took time to greet the cats before we left, and showed she was very sensitive to their needs and boundaries; the cats approved almost right away! During our trip, she kept us updated with pictures of their meals, medication, snuggles, and play time. Janet was also very confident and trustworthy in helping Nyx with her asthma inhaler! We came home to two very happy, comfortable cats, and we could not be more pleased with Janet's help!”


“We had a wonderful experience! Rachael cared for our two cats while we were away and was patient with their very different personalities. Rachael took the time to give attention to both cats, kept us updated, and even helped out with a package and a couple kitty messes. We will definitely book again and highly recommend Rachael to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!!”

“Marcy has been great, we have used her services several times the last few months and have all good things to say. The biggest help is being able to work with the short notices due to my work schedule. Her flexibility has been awesome. My dogs seem to really enjoy her and Marcy has been wonderful to my pups.....”


About: I have been a cat mama for 14 years. My diva girl, Bean, made me a fur mama. Not only have I taken care of mine—which have had special needs and medications. I help take care of other families babies while they are away. Some say I’m the only one they trust!

“Miranda was fantastic. She stopped to meet Zelda before the scheduled walks. She kept me updated and everything went perfectly. Zelda feels comfortable with her already and they get along great. Highly recommended!”


“Hannah is so good to our fur babies! She is reliable and flexible and has come in last minute for those surprise bookings that most pet parents come across. We appreciate Miss Hannah and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving caregiver for their pets.”

“Alexis was fantastic with our senior dog! She came over for a meet and greet before our vacation and was super thorough. She was very communicative while we were out of town and gave our pup lots of 1:1 attention, which he loved!!”

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet like a member of my own family. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to get to know them and provide individualized care. I'm dependable, attentive, and committed to keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it's playtime, walks, cuddles, medication schedules, or simply providing companionship, I make sure each pet gets plenty of love and attention. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. During summertime I have more flexibility, however, during the school year I work as a school bus driver, so it allows me to care for your pet during my Monday breaks as well I have taken care of pets for friends and family for years and have 2 of my own doggies, so I am well experienced to provide great care for your pets in the comfort of their own home.

“Mackenzie was great with our three cats. She showed up at the agreed upon time, took care of our cats and the litter boxes, sent pictures and responded to our messages, we definitely will reach out to her again when we need help!”

About: I’ve grown up around cats and absolutely love taking care of them. I’ve always wished I could have one of my own, so I genuinely enjoy every chance I get to spend time with cats! I’m experienced with feeding, playtime, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every cat has a different personality and I’m happy to give them the patience, attention, and care they need. Your cat will be treated like family with me!

About: I've often thought about how best to care for my pets when I go out of town. I would want them to be with someone who is loving and makes them feel as if they were with their owner. I would treat your pet the same way I treat mine, with love, care, and attention they need and deserve. We have a fenced yard, neighborhood sidewalks, and nearby walking. I'm super active and into health and fitness. I do crossfit during the week. "A dog is this only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself" I’m currently a stay at home mom to an 2yo, 8yo, and a 6mo puppy. I’ve grew up with dogs in my household. My schedule is pretty much open from 10am- 5pm. I have a fenced in yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. My dog is trained to be out of the cage while I’m gone. I am more then happy to crate your fur baby while I leave my house to do daily errands.
About: I have owned and cared for Dogs since I was a pup myself - I enjoy the constant companionship and unconditional love they provide. I am semi - retired and work from home and love the camaraderi and joyfulness they bring to my life.....I am the proud NONA of 6 grandchildren and 6 Grand Pups - There is no doubt your furry family member will be loved and you can have peace of mind knowing that!! I have over 40 years expeience in the corporate world and retired. I work part-time now 100% virtual from home protecting families and enjoying the ability to coach and mentor our next generation of leaders. My home is set up for the safety and comfort of both myself and my two furry (dogs) family members. I have a fully fenced yard and a dog run - I live in a quiet dog friendly neighborhood directly across from a park -

“Shalyn and Joe were really flexible and worked us into their schedule to help us out when we needed care for our girls. Super helpful and appreciate them for that. Our girls always love their time at their place, and their shepherd gets along great with Lady and Jazzi. The kids love our dogs and shower them with affection. We are going to miss having such great sitters since we are moving. If anyone needs A++ service and love for your pooches for a great price, these are your people!”

“June came to our rescue as we had an emergency and needed her last minute and saved us with watching pablo and her new fur friend Veloui! Thank you so much! SHE IS THE BEST!!!”

About: Have had dogs my whole life and we are active foster parents for a local animal shelter where we specialize in seniors and the friends who are having a rough time adjusting to shelter life. I am able to be home 24/7 to care for your pet. Love to walk and spend time outdoors and will be able to follow any schedule to keep your dog comfortable and spoiled. We do not have a fenced yard so all dogs will be taken out on a leash. Great communication from owners will let us know if there are any other things to watch out for.
“Maple absolutely loves staying with Carolyn. Coco ( a precious little Cockapoo) being there was a real bonus. They took several walks, and the two happy dogs played together all afternoon. Carolyn sent numerous pictures during Maple's stay with her. Thank you Carolyn we will definitely see you again!”

About: I am back on Rover after taking a long break when a dear friend needed housing with her 3 dogs for an extended period. I have owned dogs for over 40 years. After losing my 16 yr old Aussie several years ago, I started watching friend's dogs to help my survivor pup adjust to the loss. My clients at Rover have been an absolute blessing for my own pets. Each weather permitting day includes 2 walks and lots of supervision and unlimited indoor/outdoor playtime at home. I provide very frequent outdoor breaks and a roomy backyard with a locked fence with security cameras that is perfect for active dogs to run. I am home all day. I have a huge soft spot and enormous patience for all animals, and will treat your family member with all the love that I have for my own. I text photo updates or snapchats to help you feel confident about how your pet is doing. I also honor your feeding schedule and will work with your pups needs to keep them (and you) as comfortable as possible while you are away. I offer overnight supervision or day care, a cage-free environment (if desired), care for elderly dogs, or dogs who require oral medication. *** In most cases, I limit myself to 2 overnight guest dogs (or 3 if from the same family), so that your pups get lots of focused attention and to reduce the amount of 'new stuff' that they would need to navigate during your absence. *** Last minute bookings are usually no problem as long as we can squeeze in a meet and greet. If I can help insure your peace of mind when you need to be away from your pet, please contact me with any questions that you may have! There is no obligation to inquire. I would be happy to help, and look forward to meeting you and four-legged family member! Karen I will have eyes on your pet all day long. I work from home and can address any pet needs immediately. They will not be left alone for more than the time it takes to run to the supermarket, and usually that is not necessary because I prepare for that in advance. I run every day and can take your pet with me if that is within their physical abilities, with your permission, of course. I watch dogs in my home only, but do send frequent updates to be sure that you are informed about how they are doing. I have a doubly locked fenced yard with security cameras.
“Danielle is AWESOME!! Roxy had a great time with her and her dogs and kids are amazing! She sent me photos during the day and let me know how Roxy was doing. She takes her for nice walks and gets plenty of exercise and fun. I'm super happy with the care Roxy gets at her house. Thanks!”

“Kaya really enjoyed her first visit with Elizabeth!! This was the first time she’s had dog sitting in a sitters home and it went really well! I felt very comfortable with Elizabeth and Kaya really likes her 😊”
“Emily treats your fur babies like her own! My girls absolutely love spending the day at doggie daycare with her and her sweet pup, Gertie. I get the cutest playtime videos throughout the day, which gives me total peace of mind knowing they're safe, loved, and having an absolute blast while I'm away.”

“Monica and Eric were absolutely fantastic! The took the time to talk with us on a meet and greet a few days before we dropped our dog off. Our little guy had a great time with them and they sent multiple picutures thoroughout the day. We will definitely be using them in the future!”


“She is the best sitter I’ve ever seen. I got a lot of updates, photos and videos. I can tell she is a pet lover. She really treat otis like her own. Awesome place she got a huge fenced back yard. My pup didnt have accidents not like the 2 other sitters ive been through otis got few accidents meaning otis got reallly comfortable of her house. Her 4 dogs really sweet especially gunner.

About: I would be extremely responsible & caring with any dog or cat. Like humans, pets all have their own personalities & needs. I am adaptable to this & love creating a lasting bond. I am recently retired in great health with no obligations other then the hope I can take care of your dog and cat when needed. I can adapt to your dog or cat’s needs and how it relates to my home or yours. If my client’s home I would show great respect as to the owner’s wishes & expectations.
About: I have a half acre of fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. I’ve had pets in my family my whole life: always dogs, a few cats over the years, a house rabbit, hamsters, ducks, fish, lizards, turtles - so many lovely creatures! I’ve worked with rescues and shelters and have taken care of elderly dogs at the end of their lifespan administering medications orally, injections, and topically. For my other job I do freelance graphic design from home and make my own schedule, so I’m very flexible with my schedule. When pet sitting at my home your pet will have my company throughout the day. I offer check ins, feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after all pets and livestock at their home. I board dogs and caged pets overnight or for multiple days at my home where dogs have access to a fenced yard at any time of the day, full time supervision, and cozy accommodations.
“Can’t thank Dorene enough for taking my last minute request…. On an early Sunday morning! She was great and Rambo came back tired which can be hard sometimes as Rambo is an energetic bulldog! Thank you Dorene !!!”

“Can’t thank Christina enough for coming through on such short notice! Blair had the best time and was the happiest pup with her. So grateful to have someone I can trust with my baby, knowing she’s in great hands and having a fun day.”

About: I'm an animal lover with a natural way with animals. Though I've only cared for roommates' pets in the past, I love to pay it forwards to everyone! In between jobs right now, I have open availability and am happy to be the last minute sitter you hope you never needed and are glad to have. Keeping them in a routine is important. I'm respectful of my clients' property and loving of their animals while also providing structure to them all

“Alyssa is absolutely amazing!!! Rogue loved her walk with her. She was so great with Rogue and definitely felt safe having her take her out and about. Thank you again!!”

About: Here’s a warm, friendly, and professional version: I’ve spent my whole life caring for the pets of friends, family, and neighbors, and it’s something that has always brought me a lot of joy. I’ve been on Rover for a few years now and have truly loved getting to know and look after so many wonderful animals. These days, I primarily offer drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, and I look forward to the opportunity to care for your pet. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so it’s a real pleasure to spend time with yours and give them all the attention and affection they deserve. Here’s a polished, friendly paragraph you can use for your Rover profile: I’m currently enrolled in online school, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on your pets. I’m available to care for your pet in your home five days a week, as well as on weekends, and I’m happy to provide as much attention, affection, and one-on-one care as they need. Your pets will never feel overlooked—they’ll have someone present, patient, and genuinely happy to spend time with them. Here’s a refined paragraph that includes everything: I take the safety, comfort, and routine of every pet in my care very seriously. I follow their daily schedule closely so that—even though they’ll miss you—their days feel familiar and uninterrupted. I also care for your home while you’re away, keeping everything neat, tidy, and just as you left it. With experience caring for senior dogs, I understand the importance of maintaining a clean, calm environment and keeping their personal spaces fresh and comfortable. You can trust that both your pet and your home will be well looked after.

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for other people's animals. From dogs and cats, to horses, snakes, goats, chickens, and more! My promises to you: I will respond in a timely manner, be reliable, and send you updates (with pictures) while you are away. I will ensure your beloved pet(s) receive the care and attention they deserve. I will be respectful of your home and ALWAYS leave it cleaner than I found it. I know how relieving it is to return to a clean home! :) My schedule is flexible but I do have a part time job that I work in the evenings. Typically 4-9pm 🙂 I do not offer boarding in my home at this time. I am an attentive and patient caregiver with safety at the forefront of my attention. I will ensure that your animals receive the care, attention, and exercise they deserve!

About: I would take my dog out for walks everyday since I was 13 and would make sure she was cared for, played with, and properly groomed I am currently working two jobs part-time, but I am often available to walk dogs (morning, day or afternoon) or cat-sit in my free time. In my home, we make sure our cats are fed at least twice a day and we scoop their litter everyday. When we had my senior dog, we would let her outside often to get some exercise and would bathe her at least once a month when she got dirty.
“Beth is so great and takes such good care of my pup. I was hesitant to use this app, but she put me at ease and goes above and beyond to give my pup the time, attention, and exercise he needs! Thanks Beth :)”

About: I have been a fur mama for 13 years, but have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I love BOTH cats and dogs! I have two of each—along with a turtle, so I am not afraid of caring for aquatic animals. I have experience administering medication both orally and subdermally. So I am not afraid to do either. I would love to help take care of your baby in any way! I currently work Monday-Thursday. I am available all day Fridays and Sundays. And full days every other Saturday, because I work a half day every other. Can make some weeknights work, depending on the situation. I have a fully fenced in yard, so no need to worry about keeping your babies safe. Backyard comes with two super friendly dogs who love playtime with friends!
“We couldn’t be happier with Jennifer! She walks our 90 pound dog, Willow, who can be very skittish and isn’t always comfortable around other dogs. From the very beginning, she has been incredibly patient, calm, and understanding with Willow, taking the time to build trust at Willow’s pace. She always provides detailed updates after each walk, which gives us so much peace of mind. We love hearing how Willow did and any little wins along the way. It’s clear she genuinely cares and pays close attention to Willow’s needs and behavior. She’s also been very reliable, communicative, and flexible when needed. Knowing our large, sometimes nervous dog is in such capable and caring hands means everything to us. We highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional dog walker, especially if your dog needs a little extra understanding like ours does.”

“Julia was wonderful with our dogs, and her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She was incredibly patient, quickly bonded with them, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets. We highly recommend Julia and would gladly have her care for our dogs again! Shannon”
About: I am a dog lover out of the Chicagoland area, and can’t wait to meet your pups! I currently have two dogs, one’s a coonhound mix and the others a whippet mix. I love them to bits and love taking care of them! I will be on summer break from college starting Monday, May 11th. I work a part time job but am very flexible with bookings and can easily work around my schedule. I am able to pet sit and dog walk your pups. I can easily accommodate and adapts to your dogs needs. Can’t wait to treat them like they are my own!
About: I have taken care of my neighbors dogs in the form of walks and playtime and My uncles dogs I have stayed in his house and cared for his dogs for up to a week previously. I work part-time and the days I work are Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and everyday except Wednesday I work for only 3 hours so I would have plenty of time in the day to take care of your pets! I can not have pets in my home, but the pets I will take care of at your residence will be taken care to the best of my ability and I will meet all your requirements of care.
About: I grew up with dogs and have had dogs my whole life until a few years ago. After I lost my beagle and pittie, I wasn’t ready to get another dog right away so I decided to join Rover so I could still be surrounded by dogs. They bring so much joy to the day. I love to see all of the different personalities of each dog I watch. They are all special and unique in their own way. If I get the opportunity to watch your dog I will make them feel like a queen or king. I have a fenced in yard so your dog will get to be outside most of the day if they want. I also enjoy walking so if your fur baby likes walks i am able to walk them 2-3 times per day. I always follow the rules of your home. And want their days to be as similar as possible to when they are home. If they sleep in your bed at home they are welcome to sleep on mine too!!! I will give your dog a lot of love and attention in a safe environment. They may even get a little spoiled like going to grandmas house. I have the flexibility to walk and let the dogs outside I sit. I can walk two to three times per day. The dogs I sit are not alone very often. I currently don’t have other pets. This is the first time in my life without a dog and miss having a dog around. I would love to take care of your dog and make my home their home away from home.

She sends pictures and updates and keeps us informed while Ruby is in her care. We will continue to count on Autumn for our future needs!”

“Carla was great. Left my German shorthair pointer for a 5 night stay while on a trip. With daily picture and video updates it made me more at ease while I was away. Thanks Carla!”

“This was Medea's second time staying with Derek, and she clearly had just as good a time as the first! She came home extremely tired and content, so I know she played a lot. Derek always sends prompt and detailed updates, so I know she's in good hands when we send her there.”

“Carisa did a wonderful job. She took really good care of my dog Simba. She was really attentive, and everything went off without a hitch. I could tell Simba was comfortable and happy, and it just gave me so much peace of mind. Overall, I’m really grateful for how smoothly it all went.” I would highly recommend her.”

“Ashley took great care of our husky, Cleo. We got so many pictures and videos which was really appreciated! Ashley was very communicative throughout the stay. We would definitely board Cleo with her again and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for doggie daycare and boarding in the area!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my fur babies received while I was away from Emily, her sons, and their pup Gertie! She's incredibly attentive and has a genuine love for animals. I received daily updates with photos, videos and notes of their daily adventures. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter! She is so kind and loving to our dogs.”


“Alicia was the best! I knew from our meet and greet that she was going to be great with Tig and of course she was. I had no worries while we were out of town as she sent updates and photos of our Tig often. I can tell he is going to miss his new hangout and all their love & cuddles. I will absolutely book again if I need to in the future.”

“Karin was wonderful with our dog, Cooper. She took him on several walks per day, played fetch with him and treated him like he was her own dog. Karin updated us daily with pictures and texts. Karin is very easy to work with and allowed Cooper to have the run of her house. He was very comfortable with Karin and so were we and we would highly recommend Karin to others. We will be using Karin as a dog sitter in the near future.”

“Dickson was absolutely wonderful with Zeus and our puppy, Gaia. We received pictures and videos throughout out vacay and we did not worry about the doggies at all. The big back yard was wonderful for them to run around. We will definitely be using Dickson again.”

“She's simply the best! Reliable, caring, and good at keeping in touch. Sending me photos daily and brief updates on what Sugar is doing. Thank you, Beth! You made taking this vacation a little easier knowing Sugar was in good hands.”

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 14, and they are part of my love language! I've taken care of and have had a wide variety of pets, dog sizes, and different medical needs. Part of my life's calling is to be with animals and give them all the love. We live on a 7-acre farmette, with land to roam and play, and forest as well. We have a barn that houses 23 free range chickens and ducks. These are also my pets who I love dearly. I have 2 cats, a brother and sister names George and Lucy who are total love bugs. My daughter Teagan is almost 6, and has been around animals since she was a baby. I am currently working full time, 40 hours a week, Monday-Friday. I work remotely from my house on Fridays. I am off on Saturday and Sunday all day. We live on a 7-acre farm in a two-story house with privacy. Our house has plenty of room to accommodate different dog sizes. Our acreage also provides plenty of room for dogs to run and play!
