Hannah was a great for a 2-week trip we needed care for our dog. From the beginning, she was super responsive and very responsible, from the meet and greet thru a few changes I needed to make after booking. She was easygoing and flexible, and made us so relaxed to leave our little guy. During the trip, she updated us daily and was very communicative. We never worried and I knew Opie was in a warm, friendly, and loving home with so many friends to play with. He came home happy and tired and clean. We’ll definitely use Hannah’s wonderful services again!

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.

About: Hi! I’m Luciana 🐾 I’ve volunteered with Heartland Animal Shelter for 2+ years and have experience fostering kittens, adult cats, hospice cats, and working with dogs of different sizes and personalities. As a pet parent to my cat Milo, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone patient, loving, and attentive. I provide: ✅ frequent photo updates ✅ playtime and enrichment ✅ medication experience ✅ calm care for shy or anxious pets ✅ reliable routines and potty breaks I work mostly from home, so your pet will receive lots of supervision and attention. I know every pet is different, and I always take time to understand their personality, routines, and comfort needs so they feel safe while you’re away ❤️ Not ready to book? Check us out on Sniffspot! Use code ROVER-LUCIANAG45482 on sniffspot for $5 off your first visit at our spot! I work mostly from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I do occasionally leave for short errands, workouts, or appointments (typically 1–3 hours), but I prioritize maintaining your pet’s routine and comfort. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and boundaries so they feel secure and cared for. I have experience with cats of all ages, including kittens, seniors, hospice kitties, and cats needing medication. For dogs, I’ve worked with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments through Heartland Animal Shelter. I have a fenced yard for pets that enjoy brief supervised outdoor time (always safely monitored). Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I adapt to what makes them happiest.

Five very waggy stars for Meghan (and her sweet pup, Ralphie)! Meghan is absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that she is a true dog lover with tons of experience, and she knew exactly how to make our dog feel safe, happy, and completely at home. Our dog was treated like a member of her family and had the time of his life playing with Ralphie and the other dogs. The adorable photos and videos gave us so much peace of mind while we were away...and honestly, I think he was a little sad to come home, which is probably the highest compliment a dog can give. We will absolutely book again. Weekend at Ralphie’s is officially dog-approved!

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.

About: I have experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities. I have taken care of kittens to independent senior cats. I understand that every cat has a unique routine and comfort level and I always take that into consideration and make the time to make them feel safe and secure. I have helped care for friends’ and family members’ cats by feeding them, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, giving basic care, and providing companionship while their owners were away. I am patient with shy or nervous cats and always respect their boundaries while making sure they receive the attention and care they need.

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've taken good care of 2 dogs for the past 14 years. I have a very large 1 acre yard and live in a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for dog walks. I keep the yard very clean and have a lovely fenced in dog run with artificial turf which I clean daily. The yard and the dog run are always clean so the dogs and guests never accidentally step on doodoo. I am a stay-at-home mom that can easily accommodate various pet schedules. I take care of dogs in my home and can consistently supervise them. I am able to feed the dogs on time, take them out on time, and I keep a good routine day in and day out.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. I’ve also taken care of senior dogs, so I know how to handle their special care. I’m very experienced in feeding and grooming, and I love the companionship it brings to a family! I am a stay at home mom, and my husband works from home, so there’s always someone there to watch and play with your fur baby! We always have lots of time for walking and playing throughout the day. I have an extremely safe neighborhood with a little park about a 3 minute walk away, two kids that love playing with dogs, (15 and 8) and an extremely friendly mini goldendoodle!

About: I have had pets since I was 1 years old - whatever my parents let me get away with (dog, cats, fish, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs). 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 seeking supplemental income due to healthcare expenses. 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.

About: I have experience caring for a multiple different pets. I have been taking care of others pets and my own since I was 14 years old. This includes dogs, cats, and ferrets. I currently own a Miniature Pinscher. This has given me firsthand experience working with a dog that can be energetic, stubborn, and pretty challenging majority of the time. Because of this, I am especially comfortable caring for pets with unique personalities, behavioral problems, anxiety, or high energy levels. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have helped friends, family, and neighbors by feeding, walking, playing with, and checking in on their pets while they were away. I understand that every animal has different needs and routines, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it’s going on walks, providing companionship, administering basic care, or simply giving extra patience and attention, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care and give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. I am currently a college student home for the summer taking online classes. I also work part-time as a server a few days a week, but my schedule is very flexible and I am willing to adjust it to accommodate your pet’s needs. This allows me to provide reliable care, including walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine and will make sure they receive plenty of attention and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and ferrets, including pets with behavioral challenges or anxiety. If I’m caring for your pet in your home or during visits, I make sure to provide my full attention, exercise, playtime, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and responsible hands.

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.

We cannot say enough good things about Peter. We found Peter on Rover during a stressful time. We had to move out of our home into temporary housing. Our usual dog walker could no longer take care of us because we were too far away. Peter stepped in and made the transition seamless. Our girls quickly came to trust him. He has been wonderful with his walk updates and reaching out with any questions. I will be sorry to lose him when we move back home and I am sure our fur-babies will too.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. As an elementary teacher, I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, which carries over into how I care for animals as well. I currently have my own 8-month-old Labradoodle, so I’m very familiar with puppy energy, routines, walks, feeding, and all the love and patience they need. I also help care for my family’s Golden Retriever, Suzie, and have watched dogs for family and friends over the years. I always want the pets in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I have my own 8-month-old Labradoodle. I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and giving dogs the attention they need. As an elementary teacher, I have a consistent schedule during the school year, and now that it’s summer, I have even more flexibility and availability for pet care throughout the week. I care for every pet as if they were my own, because I know I would want the same level of love, attention, and care for my own dog. Their safety and comfort are always my top priority. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I also make sure pets have access to fresh water and follow their usual feeding and walking routines to help them feel comfortable. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space, and I always follow instructions closely to make sure their pet feels safe, cared for, and comfortable while maintaining the routine they’re used to.

Five very waggy stars for Meghan (and her sweet pup, Ralphie)! Meghan is absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that she is a true dog lover with tons of experience, and she knew exactly how to make our dog feel safe, happy, and completely at home. Our dog was treated like a member of her family and had the time of his life playing with Ralphie and the other dogs. The adorable photos and videos gave us so much peace of mind while we were away...and honestly, I think he was a little sad to come home, which is probably the highest compliment a dog can give. We will absolutely book again. Weekend at Ralphie’s is officially dog-approved!

Chisato treated Casper and Gracie like they were members of her own family. She constantly kept us in the loop of their daily goings on with many pictures and movies! Casper and Gracie were having such a good time, I don't think they wanted to come home.😊

Zhuangzhuang and Tony were great, My dog felt very at home ilwith them. They were also very accommodating when I had to change plans and come back a day late.

Mabel just loves Norm and Mary. She was able to get tons of exercise. As we live in the UP and still haves tons of snow. Thank you so very much for taking such great care of Mabel.

We normally have family or a close friend watch our sweet pup, but they were not available for our spring break trip this year. So, we very nervously set out to find a sitter for our dog. We found Leigh and her wonderful family on Rover and are so grateful! This is definitely a family that loves dogs. Leigh sent us pictures and updates every day so we could see how our dog was doing. They exercised him daily and kept him active! We are very grateful for Leigh and her family and would definitely book her again.

Jill is fantastic!!! Duke had the best time with her and the other dogs. I think he played the entire time because he slept for the whole day when he came home. Must have been like sleep away camp for him. We will definitely be using Jill again.

Rhondarose gave us multiple updates and pictures which was so great since this was the first time our pup was cared for outside of family. Cocco was able to run and play with other dogs and it was an easy transition with Rhondarose’s family. We are so grateful and already planned our next booking!

Megan was very welcoming and accommodated some last-minute travel plans and made Copper feel right at home. He also got along well with her three pups. He enjoyed having a fenced in backyard where he could run around and play. Thank you!
