“I cannot recommend Mercedes enough! I was looking for a last minute sitter and Mercedes was very responsive and took my dog at last minute notice. Mercedes went above and beyond when caring for my pup and I never felt more comfortable with a sitter. She took amazing care of my dog and kept me informed! She showed incredible kindness to me and my pup ❤️”
“Stephanie is my choice for sitter. My dog absolutely loves her. She is always on time and really cares for my Pooch. If you need a sitter, she is the 1 for you! I give her 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 and 👍👍”
“Cari did an amazing job we were able to go over there a week before and have a little mini playdate to meet her and her family and that made it so much more comfortable for me to leave my two babies behind for a few days. She kept me up to date and sent pictures while we were away and we were very happy and comfortable with her decision to use her”
“Iman provided top tier service! This was my first time using this app. Typically my dog would stay with family members while I'm out of town. My dog sitter plans fell through at the last minute and Iman was gracious enough to take in Coco without any advanced notice. Iman sent daily photos and videos and eased all of anxiety. I knew Coco was in good hands and I was able to enjoy my trip. Iman even surprised us on the last day with beautiful edited photos of Coco.”
“Best experience ever. I was extremely nervous about leaving my dog at first, but Latasha made me feel comfortable. She was able to accommodate my last minute booking and sent photo updates throughout.”
“Beth was amazing!! Our dog seemed to love being with her. She sent a lot of pictures and videos, which was very comforting. She played with him a ton and treated him like one of her own. We will definitely book with Beth again.”
“This was my first time using Rover. When I met Kendra before the actual drop off day, I was confident that Rico would be in good hands. She kept me updated throughout the weekend of his progress. Thanks for putting my mind at ease! Will definitely us again”
“John and Julie were fabulous with our pup. They sent us updates and pics on how she was doing while we were away. Seemed like she fit in right with their family! We will definitely use their services again!”
“Dwight is the best. I and my pups actually look forward to their stays. They seem better behaved and sweeter when they return home. If possible, I hope to only book w Dwight in the future.”
“Joy was fantastic, very personable and took great care of my dogs! She is flexible with meet and greets and professional during the whole process (no matter how many questions/directions I threw at her!). We will absolutely book with her again!”
“This was my first time leaving my fur baby with Ana and Byron. I was a little nervous as I didn’t know how she would react being in a new environment. Needless to say my worries were eased as soon as I saw pics and videos of her outside going for a walk or simply just laying on Byron’s lap. I will definitely be using them again as my fur baby was content and well taken care of.”
“Rolanda was amazing! She sent me frequent updates and her dog was very compatible with mine. She treated my fur baby like it was her own. I definitely will use her again!”
“My dog Buddy had the best of time with Janet. I would highly recommend Janet. Buddy was almost sad returning home. I received pictures during the stay which I really loved. Thank you Janet for making my dog feel at home and loved!”
“OUTSTANDING! Tootie had a wonderful time! Kathy sent pictures with funny comments. That should me Tootie was having a great time. That's important to me. Kathy was very thorough with the detailed care instructions. She asked questions for clarity. If you are in the Chicago area, please choose Kathy.”
“Chance was well taken care of. We received daily updates including pictures of Chance. He always looked comfortable and happy which in turn allowed us to enjoy our time away knowing Chance was in good hands. Monica and Dan were excellent and will always be our first choice to keep Chance when we need to be away! We highly recommend Monica and Dan, as long as Chance gets/is given priority status. P.S. Chance will like to potentially request a stay in mid April and late October ?!”
“Desiree was amazing with our 4 year old terrier mix and high energy 5 month old puppy! We were nervous with our puppy who hadn’t been in boarding before, and she was great with keeping us posted on their behavior & sending daily pics/updates. Our dogs came home exhausted from having so much fun at their time away. She was also great with our 4 y.o. who preferred her personal space around the younger dogs there. We will absolutely use her again!”
“Michelle and Christy are so amazing with my boy! He’s pretty timid and slow to open up to people, but he snuggled right up to them. Their house is perfectly set up for dogs, with a huge back yard, and their dogs get along so well with mine! Will definitely use again in the future!”

And it was. With my cat, with my condo and thus with my trip. Thanks so much. I will certainly ask for her again.”
“Kaelyn was absolutely wonderful, scheduled the meet and greet quickly, my fur baby, Juicy, loved her. She sent photos every day, and I could see she was so comfortable with her. Made my trip away from my Juice so much easier to tolerate. Will be booking her moving forward whenever needed. Highly recommend. Juice and I thank you, Kaelyn!”
“Stefanie was a lifesaver when I requested her at the last minute to drop in and feed my cat. She took such good care of Kimber, had great communication and provided regular updates. Really, really appreciate her!”
“Marissa was great! She arrived on time to meet my little pups before I went out of town, and also arrived on time the day I scheduled for her to come let them out. She played with them, took them for a walk, fed them, and changed out a potty pad.”

“Jazz was so very awesome. This was the first time we used Rover and she was a definite awesome choice for our cats. We had a video call before to discuss everything and make sure we both knew what was to be expected. I got a text and photos and video of her visit with the cats, so my mind was more at ease. We will definitely recommend and rebook Jazz 😊”

“Danielle was wonderful! She responded quickly to our very last-minute request for doggy day care for our 3-year-old Cavachon, Cooper. We are in Florida for a month with our large family and needed a safe, happy place for Cooper to spend the day while we were doing a day long activity. Danielle's ability to take care of Cooper at the last minute, and to keep in touch with us throughout the day with updates and pictures made our day! He had fun and returned to us at days end, happy and tired. Thank you, Danielle!”
“Families that love their fur babies, you MUST choose Team Ana and Byron. They are OUTSTANDING! Tootie LOVED them and most importantly, they LOVED Tootie while I was away. I wish I had them in Iowa. Thank you both for a WONDERFUL experience.”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats and have experience caring for both. I have my own pet dog who is a 10 year old mixed breed. I have administered medications and am comfortable caring for pets with special needs. I am a college student and am free for the summer. Have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I like going on walks with my dog clients and am happy to offer pets and treats to your fur baby while you are away. I can provide companionship, walks, feeding and toileting for your pets. Comfortable with both dogs and cats and can assist with any special needs they may have.
About: I have had and been around dogs since I was a child. Dogs seem to come to me naturally; without fear or hesitation. I honestly believe this is because I approach them with ease and am not forceful. It seemed like a natural step for me to join the Rover community. Ive also been a dog owner and currently have Jazzy who is my beloved Boston Terrier Mix with a big personality and sweet nature. Jazzy and I chose each other and its been an adventure ever since day one! she loves everyone but at times can be a little bossy. I'm well aware of who runs the household! I pride myself on ensuring that Jazzy stays healthy by giving her quality food and treats, Along with that she enjoys her fenced in yard and takes daily walks. We have lots of playtime and cuddles. I'll treat your dog as I would my own. That is my motto as I don't want you to worry or be concerned when you are away from your precious fur baby. I can't replace you, or would never try but rest assured your pet will receive all my tender loving care. I have had the opportunity to care for some dogs on Rover who have become regular clients. The owners have told me that they reach out to me first and hope that I am available. That is a huge compliment and I'm honored that I made such an impact on their four legged friend. All the pets I have met have their own unique personality and what I do as a sitter is simply take them for who they are which includes any little quirks. Canine or human, we all possess them. If you like what you see, let's schedule a meet and greet and see if I'm the right fit for your pet and their needs. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me and read my profile! I work remotely on a part time basis so can be available in the afternoon/evening and do pet sitting on the weekends away from my home. Well I make sure my dog Jazzy is loved and cared for each and every day. I give her good food and healthy treats. Daily walks and preventive meds to keep her healthy and strong.

About: I’m experienced with all animals including reptiles. They are all babies in my eyes. I grew up with tons of animals and now have a pitbull and a kitty aswell. I’m familiar with special needs such as medication and can provide special accommodations. I currently run my own business so i am usually free to come and say hi to your baby. I’m always out walking aswell so walking pets is added fun. I always have an eye on pets i sit and walk. Any odd behavior or unsure behavior will be noted. Checkup updates will be provided as i would want someone to do the same for my baby. I will make sure leashes and collars are secure and accurate for the services.
“Emily did an amazing job of taking care of my dog Thor on his mid-day walks. Even in the bitter cold, she took him to do his business and played with him back at the apartment since he hated the cold. She followed my instructions perfectly and was a pleasure to work with. Will definitely rebook!”
“These ladies are very caring and attentive. They provide daily feedback to let me know how Tazer is doing and take pictures and video when they are on their walks. I'm very happy and know Tazer is well cared for when I'm at work.”

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life. I’ve taken care of many dogs solely since I was 18 years old. I’ve had large breed dogs and small breed dogs. I’ve trained my dogs since puppies and have cared for them well into their senior years. My schedule is currently open as I’m transitioning careers. I’m willing to switch to Rover full time in order to help others. I’m available mornings, days, nights, and weekends. I will follow your pets schedule in your home. I think it’s important to provide services in your home where your pet is most comfortable.
About: I am 32 years young now and I have had pets since I can remember. I grew up with medium and big dogs. Also cats, chickens, rabbits and goats. I LOVE ANIMALS! I am self employed, so my schedule is very flexible. It will be very easy to have time to board your furry baby since I work on my own time. I have 2 bedrooms, a basement and garage. The yard is fenced in. I know that some dogs can be aggressive and there is no judgement at all. If your dog needs to be separate, that is totally fine. All separate pet boarding areas are clean and warm. Blankets and furniture they are free to use.
About: I am a Veterinarian Technician with 7 years experience. I graduated from Fox college Vet Tech Institute and working with animals is my passion. I have experience working with Dogs, Cats, Rodents, Rabbits, Exotics, and Birds. I offer additional care for seniors pets (Ex: taking them on shorter more frequent walks) and pets who have health concerns. (Ex: Giving medications). Book with me and your pet will be in great hands! I am available 7 days a week! I offer Early morning walks, afternoon walks, evening walks, and night time walks. What ever time works for you most likely works for me! I live in an animal friendly apartment! I have a large kennel if your pet prefers to sleep in one. I have a big field of grass behind me for leash walks / play time.
About: Lifelong Animal Lover | 9+ Years of Pet Grooming Experience 🐾 Hi there! Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I truly couldn’t imagine it any other way. With over 9 years of experience as a professional dog and cat groomer, I’ve worked in both private salons and pet stores, and I’ve loved every minute of it! Friends and family always trust me with their pets, whether it’s for sitting, grooming, bits of training questions, or advice—and I’m honored to be their go-to pet person. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and even more unique pets (I currently have two adorable tree frogs!). I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I can’t wait to meet your furry (or scaly!) family member and give them the care they deserve. I currently have a pretty much open schedule to be able to accommodate as necessary! Please feel free to reach out at any point and let me know what may best suit your pets needs! Safety is first priority! I prefer to build some trust with them and allow them to feel comfortable, especially being in either a different environment or their own homes. Patience is key.
About: Welcome to our family! I have had pets all my life. I currently have an 8 year old cat (Ramsey) who was adopted from Paws in Tinley and a 2 year old terrier mix (Moose) who was a foster fail from traveling tail dog rescue. :) I currently work from home so I’m able to spend time with my animals, whether that’s cuddling up on the couch, getting some excessive in my fenced in back yard, or taking a walk on my lunch break. ***Moose is a VERY friendly dog. He is young and full of energy, often enjoying doggy daycare where he is with 20 or so dogs all day, playing. Your senior dog or a less friendly dog will probably not do well with his friendly but energetic personality. 😊 I’m home most of the day so that we have plenty of time for play and walks! My large fenced in yard provides all day access to fun. Pets run this house! They are free to go where they please and on the furniture and beds. We like the pets who stay here to feel as comfortable as possible.

Thanks again Rachel, you're a superstar.”
“Nemo took to Kathleen right away. She kept him busy with walking and playing with her children. She is a dog lover! He is as in good hands. Sent several pics too. Would definitely ask her to sit again.”
About: Hi! I’m a Veterinary student with experience in animal behavior, dog training, pet handling, and more. I’m passionate about providing a safe, loving, and stress free environment for pets in my home. My veterinary education helps me recognize health concerns, understand animal body language, and ensure every pet receives attentive, knowledgeable care. I will care for your pets with all the love in my heart, treating them as if they were my own and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved throughout their stay. 🐾❤️ As a Veterinary student, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I am available to care for pets during both weekdays and weekends, and I can provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a secure apartment building with controlled access and a safe environment. There are several nearby parks and walking areas where your pet can enjoy regular exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. I typically accept only one pet (or pets from the same family) at a time. I do not board pets from different households together, which helps prevent conflicts, anxiety, and unnecessary stress. This allows me to give each pet my full attention and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay.
“Emily is patient and kind and speaks cat fluently. I won't hesitate to book her again in future. Emily updated me regularly with texts and photos of how Sweet Pea was doing and was transparent about any issues with adjustment (e.g. "still hiding but she's eating and drinking"). Emily kept Sweet Pea away from other pets to ease her anxiety and took such good care of my loved one.”
“Tabitha is the best. Have recommended her to friends. Our pup basically has a fun filled vacation of her own every time we go on our human vacations. Tabitha takes great pics too!”
“Danny was great with Maui and received updates during his stay. He made sure Maui took his allergy medication and provided all the attention and affection any dog could ask!!! Will definitely contact Danny to watch Maui in the future.”
