“Erin took such great care of our Sadie! I could tell from all the pictures that Sadie felt comfortable and happy. Knowing Sadie was well cared for, made our time away more enjoyable.”
“Thanks Liz for watching Beau and for being flexible with the wintry weather. We are glad that we found you! It was hard to leave our pet at Christmas time, but we felt comfortable with him in your care.”
“Balbina took my gentle giant over an extended period of time and took him in as if he was her own. Sent daily updates of all activities and even did a stellar job with his medication. 10/10 I would rebook. And I’m sure my dog got all of the attention he could have ever wanted. Thank you!”
“Leslie was amazing!!! It was obvious right away that my dogs loved her. She was so good with Molly and Bear, whether it was playtime or snuggle time. And she was absolutely wonderful about keeping us updated regularly! It’s hard to leave my pups, but her updates and pictures made it a lot easier. Leslie really cares for your pups. She is truly wonderful.”

“Marko and his family were excellent host to Nala. He provided daily updates with photos and videos and really made her feel like a part of the family. He was quick to respond to the request to dog sit and I will definitely leave Nala with him in the future. Thank you Marko for welcoming Nala into your home.”

“We booked a last minute stay for our puppy with Jessica and she was so accommodating. I was happy to receive a video and update part way through our trip. She did a great job and our dog was happy and wagging and in great shape when we got back. We would recommend her and will book again when we need too. Thanks Jessica!”
“Melvin enjoyed his time with Marisol. She kept me up to date with texts and photos. She also purchased optional food when Melvin wasn’t eating his regular food which had never happened before. I’ll use her services again in the future.”
“Palvi is very nice and did a great job in taking care of Snoopy over 5 days while we were on vacation. Snoopy is shy, anxious by nature & picky eater. Snoopy got comfortable with her family in short time & had good fun time playing hide & seek with her kids & her pet Corgi. We are so thankful that we found Palvi & would definitely recommend her.”

About: I'm currently a fur mom to two dogs and one cat! I've grown up with pets, so I can guarantee that your pets will receive unlimited cuddles and attention. I have experience working at a doggie day care, monitoring and playing with around 30+ dogs per day! I'm comfortable with all breeds and all sizes. I promise that your fur babies will receive the same high-quality care you give them when under my care. I'm transitioning jobs currently, so I'm home all the time with loads of free time. I'd love to get more active walking dogs or working a second job, like pet sitting, while in the middle of this change. The care the client gives the pet will be the same care I give, if not even more. I know that when pet parents go away, there's anxiety on both ends, so I want to ensure that the pets' schedules are followed and try to keep things the same, in order to limit that anxiety.
“I needed a last-minute drop-in visit for my rabbits while I was out of town, and she was able to help on very short notice. She communicated well, checked on my pets promptly, and made sure they had what they needed. I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to help when I was feeling worried. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Meaghan was the best with our 2 cats while we spent a few days camping. She was on time and followed directions, which is important for cats who have a set routine. I appreciate that she took the time to play with the kitties and her Rover cards always captured how the visit went. She provided great updates and photos of how they were doing. It was great to see the cats become comfortable with her quickly and show their goofy personalities. If she's available when the time comes, I will absolutely be booking her services again!”
“Ace was great with my cat. She came on time to provide food to my cat and was very friendly with him. Overall, a great cat sitter and I would reach out to her again when ever needed in future.”
“Bentley had a fantastic time with Amanda today! She was very attentive and gave him lots of love plus sent pictures during her drop in! Super quick to responding and confirmed last minute which was a lifesaver! We'll definitely book her again!”
“Absolutely grateful for Erin! She really came through in a pinch, just when we needed her most. Reliable and caring. Erin sent us pictures of the boys each day we were apart which was really comforting. The boys did good and it's apparent that Erin has the special touch w our kitties. Will definitely be looking for her the next time we're headed out of town.”

About: I've been studying dog behavior for over 9 years. I also have experience as a veterinary receptionist and grooming assistant. I train pet dogs on good behavior as well as rehabilitation for fearful or aggressive dogs. Safety is my #1 concern. Every dog that comes into my home is treated like family, as I do my own dogs. I am blessed with a large house that has a separate living quarters for the boarding dogs and a big beautiful fenced yard. Both are kept clean and hazard free. I would love to host your dog and make sure you are worry free while you're away! I work with dogs as a career and am home full time. I have a daily routine that changes depending on what dogs I have. Each dog gets fed once or twice, a day depending on owner preference. For medical or dietary reasons feeding can me more or less frequent. Any medications needed will be given. Each dog gets back yard exercise daily. Of course they get plenty of love! 🐾 Saftey and cleanliness are my top concerns. My home is clean and hazard free. I am "puppy proof" and always vigilant. I have accommodations and experience working with aggressive or reactive dogs and can also accommodate/work with kennel anxitey. I am able to keep dogs separate from my personal dogs if needed.

I can also accommodate jumpers using a long recall leash!

About: Hi! I’m Diane, a mature and loving dog mom with 18 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I treat every dog like my own—providing a safe and happy environment while you’re away. Whether your dog needs daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or administering medication, I’ve got you covered. I'm home all day every day as a dedicated dog mom. No other work or children in the home to distract me from providing your dog with care and attention. I care for one dog at a time in addition to my Bella. Dogs are never left home alone. Our home is a haven for small dogs. Every room has cozy chairs, blankets and pillows along with natural light and fresh air for dogs to enjoy. Dogs are allowed on furniture and beds. I have a large, safe fenced in yard. The fence is solid with absolutely no gaps for little ones to squeeze through.
“I absolutely love leaving my dog with Beyonka! My pup is always extremely happy when he goes to her place, and that gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s being well cared for. Every time I pick him up he smells delicious and looks so well-loved. You can tell she truly enjoys what she does. I 100% recommend her—she’s amazing!”
“Giedre was very reassuring when we dropped our 7 month old puppy off for day care. He came home very tired after a full day of activities. He enjoyed being there and playing with her dogs. She provides a very welcoming environment for guests. Will definitely recommend her to friends who need to drop off their fur balls for day care or boarding.”
“Jessica watches my dog on a weekly basis and he absolutely loves it! She is truly the best and loves animals. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for pet care of any kind!”
About: I've had dogs since I was 6 — growing up with a Doberman, a boxer, then Labs. My last lab, Niner, was a rescue we brought home at 4 and cared for until he was 11. He had neurological issues, and I even made him custom shoes to help him walk. That kind of hands-on, patient care is second nature to me. Now I have Leo and Loki, my two 5-year-old dogs, and I understand the specific needs of large breeds — energy, exercise, and attention to health. That said, big or small, every dog gets the same level of care and attention. Your dog won't just be watched, they'll be truly cared for, the way I've cared for my own for over 30 years. I work from home in a computer-based 8-to-5 job, so I'm around all day — which means your dog isn't just squeezed into a quick before-and-after-work window, but gets company and check-ins throughout the day too. I walk my own two dogs twice daily, morning and evening, so pet care is already part of my daily rhythm. Weekdays offer steady, built-in availability, and weekends open up even more for longer walks and playtime. Your dog will have a large fenced yard to romp around in, plus my two friendly, well-socialized dogs, Leo and Loki, to keep them company. For rainy/snow days I have a large empty basement to play in and run around in. Since I work from home, I'm around throughout the day for playtime, cuddles, and check-ins — not just a quick visit in and out. My dogs are 5 years old and easygoing with other dogs, so your fur baby will feel right at home in a safe, social environment.
“Awesome experience! Kimberly was very quick to respond to my request, and schedule a meet/greet. Louis is typically shy at the start, however Kimberly provided great updates during the day as he warmed up. At pick up, Louis was running around all over with her two dogs. Thank you Kim, appreciate you and the warm care you gave Louis!”

About: Hi there, my name is Sami! I've lived with dogs my whole life, big and small - some of which include a Golden Retriever, a Yorkie, and a Maltese. My sister occasionally comes over with her Goldendoodle, and I love spending time with my aunt's Bernese Mountain Dogs when I can visit them. I plan to adopt my own dog later in the future, and perhaps enroll them as a therapy dog to bring comfort to others. I've watched both my sister's and parents' dogs while they are away for the day, and I have some experience in caring for them when they were puppies. I used to walk my parents' dogs in the past, as well. I enjoy interacting with dogs as a whole, and I put their safety and comfort first. I'm an introvert who lives a quiet lifestyle, but I also love to have fun, so if your furry friend needs someone to hang out with while you're away, I'll be there for them! NOTE: Though I adore cats, I am unfortunately allergic and therefore cannot interact with them directly if you have any in your home. I can still feed or play with them via a cat teaser or laser pointer, but I cannot pet them or pick them up. :( Currently, I am working full-time at an elementary school in Minooka. As I share similar hours with our students, my availability Monday through Friday will only be after 3:30pm. On Saturdays and Sundays, I am available during afternoons and evenings, though prior arrangements in advance can be made for a morning walk or drop-in visit! I will update my schedule as soon as anything changes. If you have any questions regarding my schedule for a particular day or week, please don’t hesitate to message me! IMPORTANT: As per Rover’s Terms of Service, please note that I cannot share private contact details or accept methods of payment outside of Rover. This is for the safety and security of all parties involved. When out on a walk, I will make sure your friend is kept safe and away from hazards or things they may be uncomfortable with. When dropping in for a visit, I will make sure their needs are met and everything is secured for their safety. They would never be left unsupervised, and they'll get lots of love and playtime! I will gladly send photos and text updates upon request. Please do let me know your communication frequency preferences, so I don't accidentally disturb you with messages!

The care the client gives the pet will be the same care I give, if not even more. I know that when pet parents go away, there's anxiety on both ends, so I want to ensure that the pets' schedules are followed and try to keep things the same, in order to limit that anxiety.
About: I currently work at a dog facility where we offer daycare and boarding, which has given me hands-on experience caring for many different breeds, personalities, and sizes of dogs. I also have two dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable with energetic dogs and enjoy taking them on walks and keeping them active. I genuinely love meeting new dogs and getting to know their individual personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me! I currently work part-time at a dog facility and have school on some Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I’m unavailable those days. I’m available for dog walks on other weekdays and weekends, depending on my work schedule. I’ll always do my best to be flexible and find a time that works for you and your pup! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience taking care of dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and personalities through my job at a dog facility. During walks, I’ll follow your instructions, stay attentive to your dog, and make sure they have a safe and enjoyable experience.
“Wonderful as always! This is the second time they have taken care of my boy and he couldn’t have been in better hands. They go out of their way to put you at ease and give your pup a lot of love.”
“Chelsie is amazing. Able to handle my energetic pup no problem! Very prompt and went above & beyond with the time she spent with my doggo. Would definitely recommend her!!”
“Rachel was awesome for my dog Otto when he had to be alone at home for longer than normal! She was very responsive when coordinating and communicative before and after his walks, and took him out for a good amount of time so he could run around.”

“Brian and his family were great. They treated our fur ball with love and attention. Brian sent pictures and videos every day. It was great to see the dog enjoying his stay with Brian.”
“Erin took such great care of our Sadie! I could tell from all the pictures that Sadie felt comfortable and happy. Knowing Sadie was well cared for, made our time away more enjoyable.”
“Balbina took my gentle giant over an extended period of time and took him in as if he was her own. Sent daily updates of all activities and even did a stellar job with his medication. 10/10 I would rebook. And I’m sure my dog got all of the attention he could have ever wanted. Thank you!”
“Leslie was amazing!!! It was obvious right away that my dogs loved her. She was so good with Molly and Bear, whether it was playtime or snuggle time. And she was absolutely wonderful about keeping us updated regularly! It’s hard to leave my pups, but her updates and pictures made it a lot easier. Leslie really cares for your pups. She is truly wonderful.”
“Felicia took great care of our Golden Retriever! Her dogs were wonderful company for sweet canine. She also sent us video updates which were very appreciated. Will be returning to Felicia in the future!”
“Marko and his family were excellent host to Nala. He provided daily updates with photos and videos and really made her feel like a part of the family. He was quick to respond to the request to dog sit and I will definitely leave Nala with him in the future. Thank you Marko for welcoming Nala into your home.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always been comfortable caring for them. For the past 2.5 years, my wife and I have also been dog parents to our corgi, Riley. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding, playtime, basic routines, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll treat every dog I care for like they’re part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine since we have a dog of our own. I also have the flexibility to work from home whenever needed, so I can be around throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. We have a dog-friendly home with a fenced-in yard and our friendly corgi, Riley. We’ll follow your dog’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions you provide. We want every dog staying with us to feel safe, comfortable, and at home.
“We booked a last minute stay for our puppy with Jessica and she was so accommodating. I was happy to receive a video and update part way through our trip. She did a great job and our dog was happy and wagging and in great shape when we got back. We would recommend her and will book again when we need too. Thanks Jessica!”
“This was the longest I've left my dogs and had no worries. Kimberly treated my dogs like they were her own with lots of love and attention, had great communication, and sent lots of pictures and updates. There's nothing better than picking up well cared for and happy dogs! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“Our dogs had another great visit with Sara! She’s flexible and fun with our dogs, and we always appreciate her patience. The pups love hanging out with the other dogs at Sara’s, so it’s like a vacation for them, too!”
“Peggy was wonderful to our little Oscar. She messaged multiple times a day as requested and sent pictures of the little guy. She also noticed him biting his paws due to allergies and alerted me right away. I was in an area with bad service and did not get the message right away so she went ahead and reached out to my vet and scheduled a time to go in because he had chewed his paw to the point where he was bleeding. By the time I found out she was already on top of it. She took him and brought him home with a cone and gave him medication as prescribed. She even followed up asking about him days later once we picked him up. You can just tell that Peggy is an animal lover. I will absolutely be booking Peggy again, i love the fact that she only takes one dog in at a time because you know the full attention is going to your animal. Thank you Peggy!”
“Renae was great with Billy! We met up before the stay to introduce the dogs and everyone was very friendly. She was also very flexible, offering to extend the stay when I was concerned my flights were going to be impacted by weather.”
“Kimberly was fantastic. Very responsive! We ended up booking with her last minute as our previous booking with another sitter canceled the night before we were leaving for our trip due to an emergency. I will say, we lucked up on Kimberly. Our 8yr old golden doodle got in walks, treats, chew toys, fun with her dogs, and lounge time. Our dog was happy and energetic when we picked him up. I would definitely recommend Kimberly. If her availability is open, we will book with her again.”
