Unbelievable!!! I’ve been using Rover for quite some time now and this family…what can I say?? They were incredible!! I never expected to feel so much like part of the family and how they embraced Sergeant as part of theirs. They loved on him and he was one happy dog! Sergeant now has a new “Auntie”. I can’t say enough good about how they treated him. Obviously we will be using them again!

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!

Pandora had such a great time! My American Bulldog can be a handful sometimes, but Danielle made her feel right at home. I got daily updates and photos, which really put me at ease while I was away. It was clear she was well cared for and loved during her stay. I highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again!

Lizzie and her husband were great with our 80lb hyper puppy. They took the time to let us come over prior, to introduce our puppy to their dogs. Our dog had a great time running around their yard and playing with their dogs. They sent videos and picture updates to let us know how he did. We definitely recommend their services!

Mera and her family took such great care of my dog! He looked so happy and cared for in every photo and video. He is a good judge of character and when I dropped him off after the initial meet and greet, he practically dragged me to the door because he couldn't wait to see Mera and her boys.

Plus, my dog was able to socialize with his dog, which was a bonus! His rates were reasonable; he answered my texts and questions in a timely manner. Overall very happy, and I will check back with him, should we need help with boarding our dog in the future. Thank you Brian!

Erica went above and beyond for me in my cats. I have a very difficult job with a total of seven cats. The dynamic can change on a daily basis. Erica was up to the task of completing everything. I asked her to do. She also has great intuition and making decisions Regarding things that are occurring at the house. She made great judgment calls, exactly what I would do. My cats adore her. And she does everything with a smile on her face. I would highly recommend using Erica. She is my go to sitter. You won’t be disappointed. We are 100% happy with everything that she does for our cats.

Sarah watched our two cats for a few days over the holidays and she was absolutely amazing! One of our cats has some health issues and she gave him so much love and attention. We are always worried about others giving our cat meds, but she really knows what she’s doing and he had no issues when we came home. We received detailed reports on how they were doing as well as photos. She came to our home 2x per day and she was always on time which is crucial with an animal on seizure medication. When we came home everything looked as if we never left and both of our cats had plenty of water, were fed, and satisfied. We will definitely have her watch our pets again in the future.

About: I have been taking care of animals from a young age of 15. I grew up with a German shepherd which started my love for dogs. I use to volunteer at an animal shelter in Iowa when I was going to college. I would walk every single dog because it would break my heart to see them stuck in such a small space. I also rescued around 20 dogs, 50 cats, and one monkey when I was living overseas. I am very empathetic towards animals especially because they are such innocent beings. I also worked with different rescue groups overseas. I currently have 3 dogs I rescued from Peru South America. Their stories are pretty crazy but now they are living the dog dream. So I am very excited to work with animals! I am a stay at home mom looking to help owners with their pets. Having 3 dogs myself I know how necessary it is to have help! 1st I would like to come meet the pet first so we can create a trust. Then I would make sure they were comfortable in their home with plenty of food and water. I would just follow all the rules the owner has for me especially if there dog is on a specific diet. If it is okay with the owner also carry training treats with me for walks.

This was our first time using Rover and selected Don based on prior reviews. Don has gone above and beyond, exceeding our expectation with his check-in's on our Maltipoo. Our little guy can be sheepish and nervous with strangers, but Don worked to earn trust with our pup and made him feel safe. We would highly recommend Don!

It was my first time using a pet sitter so I was a little nervous but they made me feel at ease leaving Smokey and Pippa for a few days. They sent pictures and texted updates after each visit. Highly recommend them and will not hesitate to book with them again!

I’m also a local real estate professional, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to their behavior, surroundings, and individual needs and make sure they are supervised and cared for properly. I’ll follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines, and any special preferences. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to send updates and photos while you’re away. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident in my care.

About: I've taken care of dogs of many breeds ever since I was a little girl. I took care of feeding, exercising, and bathing our dogs for my family. I also work as a kennel tech at autumn green hospital where I take care of pets daily including bathing, feeding , playing with and giving medication. I currently work as a kennel tech, and my schedule is kind of all over the place. However, I can bring your pet to work with me after they are reviewed by my boss to make sure they pass their rabies and fecal tests. I’m available Saturday mornings until 1 PM and am free all day on Sundays! I will update this note on a month-to-month basis depending on my schedule. If I were in your home, I would let your pet warm up to me first. Then, I would make sure they have clean water and food, follow any instructions you have for me, and give them lots of cuddles and love to keep them happy.

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.

About: I know how important my dog's well-being and daily routine is to me, and I would love to help keep your dog in their routine! I have experience caring for and training dogs of all types, and will cater to senior dogs, medical needs, or special needs such as sensitive, selective, or reactive dogs. In my spare time I volunteer with my therapy dog Reese, and have experience fostering and training dogs using positive reinforcement. I know how hard it is to be away from your pet but I can assure a safe and successful walk, sit, or stay! I am currently available for animal care! Available on weekdays, weekends, for stop-ins during the work day, or over weekends. Happy to continue care with boarding or sitting. In your home, I can offer lots of your dog's favorite exercise for every season. Depending on their activity level, we can take walks, runs, or just breaks/sniffs. I always clean up after dogs and demonstrate responsible dog ownership in your neighborhood! For stays at my house: the yard is huge, and backs to forest preserve property and pond, but the yard is unfenced so I am diligent about leashes.

About: Dogs are a gift from heaven. I have a gift of love for dogs. My dogs mean the world to me. They are everything. When ever I see someone walking their dog I say hi to the dog! I am patient and caring. I believe dogs need that because just like us they have feelings and triggers. I understand each dog is different and I will most certainly adapt to your dogs needs. And of course give plenty of snoot kisses. I am the type of dog lover to lay on the ground with your dog, have conversations and send plenty of pictures and updates to you 🧡 I work a part time job from 5am to 10am. And the rest of the day is for the dogs and whatever they need! Frequent potty breaks and long walks I have unfenced 3 acres and quiet streets and walking trails for exercise and a 7 year old boxer Shepard mix who loves to play. My dog and any dog are allowed on furniture unless you suggest otherwise. I love to walk or wven run long distance. My doggo baylee and I love to 8 miles most days.

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 😊

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.

My pup is normally very shy and takes him time warming up, but he loved Rosarin right away! He took treats (which never happens), enjoyed a nice long walk with her, and spent some time hanging out with her dog. Rosarin is great with animals, and she shared lots of helpful insights and cute pics/videos. Fantastic sitter, will use her again in a heartbeat!

About: I specialize in luxury homesitting and animal caregiving. I have worked with puppies, birds, horses, turtles, dogs, fish, and cats. Please ask me what snacks you can get me for when I stay in your home. I appreciate this greatly as it helps to limit the need to leave your property and animals unattended. I will bring in any packages left outside. Please set your thermostat to 75-76 degrees. I can handle a majority of last minute changes but expect them to occur with added fees. I do not want anyone on your property while I am there. Post pone all maintenance until after I leave and please do not mention my stay to anyone. Staying in unfamiliar spaces can make it challenging for me to sleep at night so I need grace if I do not follow your exact expectations. I have full time availability to look after your home and animals. I have most of my experience working for families within my community and church. I will maintain requested household responsibilities, keep your animals safe and happy while you are away, and ensure your property is closely monitored to the best of my ability.

About: I have been taking care of animals from a young age of 15. I grew up with a German shepherd which started my love for dogs. I use to volunteer at an animal shelter in Iowa when I was going to college. I would walk every single dog because it would break my heart to see them stuck in such a small space. I also rescued around 20 dogs, 50 cats, and one monkey when I was living overseas. I am very empathetic towards animals especially because they are such innocent beings. I also worked with different rescue groups overseas. I currently have 3 dogs I rescued from Peru South America. Their stories are pretty crazy but now they are living the dog dream. So I am very excited to work with animals! I am a stay at home mom looking to help owners with their pets. Having 3 dogs myself I know how necessary it is to have help! 1st I would like to come meet the pet first so we can create a trust. Then I would make sure they were comfortable in their home with plenty of food and water. I would just follow all the rules the owner has for me especially if there dog is on a specific diet. If it is okay with the owner also carry training treats with me for walks.

I stick to routines and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently in school Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 AM–2 PM, so I’m generally available for pet care outside of those hours. I’m also pretty flexible with scheduling and happy to work with your pet’s routine! I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel comfortable while in my care. I follow each owner’s instructions and give pets the attention and care they need.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and know how to handle all kinds of personalities — from playful puppies to senior dogs who just want some calm company. I don’t have formal training, but I have years of hands-on experience and a real love for animals. Since I’m currently not working, I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Right now, I’m not working, which means I have plenty of time and attention to give to any pet I’m caring for. I make it a priority to create a calm, safe, and loving environment — whether that’s in my home or the owner’s. I always follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, and any special instructions. I keep spaces clean, double-check that doors and gates are secure, and make sure pets have fresh water, a cozy resting area, and plenty of attention. Because I have the time, I’m also able to give pets extra walks, playtime, or company if they get anxious being alone. I treat every animal like my own and send regular updates to help owners feel at ease knowing their pet is in good hands. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I always take time to learn about each pet’s unique personality, routines, and any special needs before starting care. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely — including feeding times, walking routes, and any household rules — to help the pet feel secure. I make sure doors and gates are properly closed, keep hazardous items out of reach, and maintain a clean, organized space. If caring for pets in my own home, I ensure all animals are properly introduced in a controlled setting, supervise interactions, and provide separate spaces if needed. I use pet-safe cleaning products, fresh water at all times, and ensure plenty of mental and physical enrichment. Above all, I believe trust is built through communication and reliability — I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so owners always know their pets are happy and safe.

About: Since a child, I have been trusted to watch, walk, and care for neighbors and friends dogs. I still care for my friends and families dogs. I grew into loving the difficult dogs, training lots of different sports and dog behavior. I love seniors/special needs who just need some TLC. Puppies are my absolute favorite. I enjoy the bond and training from the start. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom looking to start working again and thought this would be a great fit due to my passion with animals. I have a flexible schedule and am available to board most days. Dogs will be given love and attention, play, walks, really whatever they are into or owner needs. My own crew loves to swim in our pool, play frisbee or fetch the chuck-it. I have 3 custom built in crates that are massively oversized. I can keep dogs separate from my own or integrate. I absolutely love working with puppies and dogs and exposing them to new fun things!

Stephanie was amazing! She came over for a meet and greet on short notice and stayed for an hour to answer all of my questions, and meet my pup. She came over every day to walk her while I was away and my family was working. She even checked to make sure my dog was given her medicine and gave it to her if needed. I got messages/updates and pictures every day which really put me at ease. Not only did she take excellent care of my baby, but she also checked in on me to see how my trip was, which was really nice of her. Stephanie really went above and beyond just walking Charlie, she took the time to make sure she had everything she needed and gave her plenty of love. I will absolutely use her in the future!!

About: Dogs are a gift from heaven. I have a gift of love for dogs. My dogs mean the world to me. They are everything. When ever I see someone walking their dog I say hi to the dog! I am patient and caring. I believe dogs need that because just like us they have feelings and triggers. I understand each dog is different and I will most certainly adapt to your dogs needs. And of course give plenty of snoot kisses. I am the type of dog lover to lay on the ground with your dog, have conversations and send plenty of pictures and updates to you 🧡 I work a part time job from 5am to 10am. And the rest of the day is for the dogs and whatever they need! Frequent potty breaks and long walks I have unfenced 3 acres and quiet streets and walking trails for exercise and a 7 year old boxer Shepard mix who loves to play. My dog and any dog are allowed on furniture unless you suggest otherwise. I love to walk or wven run long distance. My doggo baylee and I love to 8 miles most days.

Jessica watched Chloe on short notice when an other Rover lady backed out at the last minute. She really enjoyed her stay and we will be using the service again. She has a perfect set-up and both she and her husband are dog lovers.

Unbelievable!!! I’ve been using Rover for quite some time now and this family…what can I say?? They were incredible!! I never expected to feel so much like part of the family and how they embraced Sergeant as part of theirs. They loved on him and he was one happy dog! Sergeant now has a new “Auntie”. I can’t say enough good about how they treated him. Obviously we will be using them again!

Willow was well taken care of, and I really appreciated the updates while I was away. It was nice knowing she was in good hands, especially since she’s still a puppy. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely book with them again.

Lizzie and her husband were great with our 80lb hyper puppy. They took the time to let us come over prior, to introduce our puppy to their dogs. Our dog had a great time running around their yard and playing with their dogs. They sent videos and picture updates to let us know how he did. We definitely recommend their services!

Mera and her family took such great care of my dog! He looked so happy and cared for in every photo and video. He is a good judge of character and when I dropped him off after the initial meet and greet, he practically dragged me to the door because he couldn't wait to see Mera and her boys.

This is the second time my pup has stayed with her and we love her! My dog is sad the whole car ride home because she doesn’t want to leave. She makes sure to send videos and pics with updates to let you know your pup is doing ok. She’s so flexible if adjustments are needed. Has definitely become our top rover choice for boarding!

Roberto and his family did a wonderful job sitting for our dog Hopper while we were on vacation for two weeks. He sent us pictures and updates every day or two. They really made Hopper part of the family (even though Hopper kept stealing all of their dog’s toys and attention). We were very happy to be able to leave Hopper in a home where he was so well cared for.

This was our first rover experience- our two dogs stayed with Maria and her family for about 4 days.Maria was happy to do a meet and greet before hand a couple months prior. The day we were dropping the dogs off my female who hasn’t been spayed yet started her menstrual cycle, I was so worried we were going to have to cancel our flights because I totally wouldn’t blame Maria if they didn’t want to keep her while she was wearing a diaper. But Maria was happy to still take both pups for the weekend and I am so thankful. My lab is a high energy gal and did great. We got pictures and updates multiple times a day of their walks and playing in the back yard. They seem happy and content after their stay with Maria and I cannot recommend her more. We have another stay booked with her already. So thankful to find someone to leave my pups with who we trust and can feel at ease leaving them with.

I highly recommend Justine and Brett to care for your dogs. They have a beautiful family of 4 children who showered my two dogs (a Boxer and a mix breed) with love and affection. They came home so tired and content. This was the first time they were away from home so I was a little afraid of how they would act. I was told they behaved and I hope that was true. I would not hesitate for a minute to use Justine and Brett again.
