Our small dog Marty had an overnight stay here, and we're thrilled with how well she was cared for. We received updates and photos during the stay, which always puts me at ease. My dog seemed happy and relaxed.

Danielle and her family were absolutely incredible with my dog, Pretzel! From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was going to be fully embraced as part of their family. She provided timely updates, photos, and messages that truly put my mind at ease — and honestly made me miss my boy even more in the sweetest way. Pretzel was active, engaged, and showered with cuddles — exactly the kind of love and attention he receives at home. It genuinely felt like while I was on vacation, he was on one too! The level of care Danielle and her family provided was exceptional. When I brought Pretzel home, I could even tell he felt the “void” of leaving them — which speaks volumes about how loved and comfortable he was in their care. I am beyond grateful and already looking forward to my next trip knowing Pretzel will be in such amazing hands. Highly, highly recommend! 🐶✨

I can’t speak highly enough about Shalyn, Joe, and their family. We went away for an extended period of time and were adamant about finding the perfect dog sitter for our girl Lucy, and that’s exactly what we found. From the moment they took her in, they made Lucy part of their family. Not to mention, she found a new best friend in their German Shepherd, Sadie. Every single day, I received photos and videos of them playing nonstop. It was incredibly heartwarming, and I couldn’t have been happier knowing Lucy was in such loving and capable hands. Just to put things in perspective, Shalyn, Joe, and family are about a 40 minute drive from our home, but they will always be our go to whenever we need care for Lucy. Thank you so much for everything. You are sincerely the best.

Once again, Jessica and her family are the perfect hosts for my Bear. This is the third time he has stayed with him and I can tell he is getting the very best care I could possibly ask for. She’s great about sending pictures and letting me know how things are going. I can’t say enough about Jessica!

About: I bring positive energy, patience, and lots of love to every dog I care for. I work with dogs of all ages and focus on creating a stress-free, fun, and comforting experience through play, cuddles, walks, and attentive care. I take time to learn each dog's personality and needs so they feel safe, happy, and loved-- and I keep owners connected with updates and photos so they know their pup is in great hands. I am home from work for the summer. I am a full-time elementary school teacher during the school year, so I am very flexible and can make my own schedule. I am able to accommodate a variety of needs/ requests. I have a fully fenced backyard, and a senior female dog who is super social with other dogs and people. I will work with you to ensure your dog's needs are met and his/ her schedule remains the same as in their permanent home.

Michele was AMAZING with our pup! From the moment we met her, we could tell she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. She sent us fun updates and the cutest pictures, and it was clear our dog was having the best time. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup who was clearly well cared for (and maybe a little spoiled in the best way!). Michele is reliable, warm, and goes above and beyond—we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Emily and family treated our Briggs like their own. They went on walks, cozied up by the fire and had a sleepover in the living room because he can’t get up stairs very well. I was sent pictures and he looked happy and content! We will be sure to give Emily a call next time we need someone to watch Briggs!

Tricia was awesome! Her dogs are so cute & you can tell she really loves animals as this is all she does so her main priority is your babies. We got so many texts while we were away which we thought was amazing. Knowing our babies were happy & doing good made us feel really good about leaving them with her. They loved her & she loved them too & my little Bella was super tired when we got her back and napping all night which was such a relief. We can’t wait to have them stay with her again and I’m sure they’ll be excited too!

Erika did a fantastic job caring for our dogs. Since this was our first vacation in several years, I was nervous about leaving them for an extended period. Lincoln, our senior, requires multiple medications and supplements, and Bella struggles with separation anxiety. Erika and Ryan were so reassuring during the meet-and-greet that I felt at ease immediately; seeing Bella flip over for belly rubs was the best sign! While we were away, we received photo and video updates twice a day. I loved her comments and how she picked up on our dogs personalities 😊 It was clear the dogs were happy, enjoyed their numerous walks, and was never left alone. I’m so grateful to have found Erika and Ryan —they truly understood our dogs' needs and gave them so much love!

We got picture & text updates each day which I loved so knew my babies were happy. They came home very happy & tired even our little 6 month old corgi was napping all night which is rare for her lol!

Dickson was absolutely wonderful with Charlie! He sent frequent videos and photo updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Charlie is 12 years old and diabetic, she stayed on her eating schedule and received her insulin shots on time — Dickson handled everything perfectly and with such care. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was safe, happy, and enjoying time playing in his fenced backyard. You can truly tell he loves animals and treats them like family. This was such a great experience, and I will absolutely have Charlie stay with him any time. Highly recommend Dickson to any friends or family looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!!

When I was looking to board my two cats, I was very nervous since I haven't done this before. When I read Ivonka's reviews, I felt very fortunate to have found her. I received multiple videos during the time and so I could rest assured they were not only taken care of but also enjoyed the company of Ivonka's cats. Ivonka has a wonderful setting for cats to enjoy "home away from home" and her wonderful personality helps cats relax during separation. From now on I will only board with Ivonka in the future. She is a GEM. Thank you for all you have done.

About: I have several years of experience caring for cats and truly love spending time with cats. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to check in on their cats while they’re away. I always ensure that the cats are well-taken care of and always feel comfortable when they’re in my care. I understand that every cat has a different temperament, so I’m patient and attentive to their needs, whether they love to play or prefer a calm, quiet environment. I’m very reliable and happy to send photo updates so you can feel confident your cat is well cared for while you’re away.

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.

About: Hello! I’m Shelby and I grew up in Crystal Lake. My husband and I run our dog boarding and house sitting business together. We are bilingual, Spanish and English. Shelby As a child my dream job response was veterinarian (although I now work as a teacher). I’m 100% a dog person and love all animals. Being with dogs renews my energy so that I am my best for my students. I’ve been dog sitting and dog walking for clients since 2017. Prior to that, I had taken care of family friends’ dogs- pugs, golden retrievers, labs, poodles and more. Jose My wife says all dogs love me and that I am a dog whisperer. I don’t know if that’s true, but I sure do love spending time with dogs. I’m always happy when I’ve got a dog by my side. I’m also available for odd jobs and anything IT related. I have my BS in computer science. We can do drop in visits, walks, overnights and boarding. We are also offering doggie daycare out of our home, see below for more info. We look forward to meeting you and your dog! When we board, we are able to offer potty breaks about every four hours during the work week. During holidays, weekends and summers we are home more frequently. We can be more flexible with potty/walk breaks as needed. We prioritize the well-being and comfort of your dog. It’s our goal to understand your dog’s routines so we can do our best to continue those during their stay with us. 🐶 🦴 Doggie daycare 🦴 🐶 We charge $10 an hour, maxing at $40 for a day (maximum daycare stay is 9 hours). We also work out month passes at a lower rate based on your needs. Message us to discuss further. Doggie daycare does not include an overnight. 💵 ⭐️ —————- ⭐️ 💵 Referral program We currently have a give $20, get $20 for referring a friend. When your friend successfully completes their first booking, you will get $20 off a future booking. Your friend gets $20 off their first booking with us as well. 💵 ⭐️ —————- ⭐️ 💵

I have a cat that requires subcutaneous fluids and I needed someone to drop in while I was on vacation to give those to her and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better than Meg! She did such a great job, communicated well, I trusted her completely, and her care meant that I could relax and enjoy my vacation instead of worrying about my cat. If I ever needed someone to look after my cat again, I’d happily rebook with Meg.

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'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 bring positive energy, patience, and lots of love to every dog I care for. I work with dogs of all ages and focus on creating a stress-free, fun, and comforting experience through play, cuddles, walks, and attentive care. I take time to learn each dog's personality and needs so they feel safe, happy, and loved-- and I keep owners connected with updates and photos so they know their pup is in great hands. I am home from work for the summer. I am a full-time elementary school teacher during the school year, so I am very flexible and can make my own schedule. I am able to accommodate a variety of needs/ requests. I have a fully fenced backyard, and a senior female dog who is super social with other dogs and people. I will work with you to ensure your dog's needs are met and his/ her schedule remains the same as in their permanent home.

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.

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.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have experience with puppy birth, dog training (german Shepherds, bijon Frise, Mutts, Labs, etc.), senior dogs, puppies (I have one myself), and medicating pups! I've also had cats my entire life and have experience with the birth of kittens, senior cats, and administering medication. I currently work Monday/Tuesday and Thursday/Friday in office. However, I live where my offices are located so I regularly come home to let my pup out and make sure all is well. Weekends and Wednesdays are open and I am home and have all of the time to play with the pups and take them to the park if given permission! I have a fenced in yard for the dog to play. I also am able to take pups out for long walk, play with them in the yerd, take them to the dog park. I am pretty open and available to whatever the dog owner is requesting for their pup!

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.

I can’t speak highly enough about Shalyn, Joe, and their family. We went away for an extended period of time and were adamant about finding the perfect dog sitter for our girl Lucy, and that’s exactly what we found. From the moment they took her in, they made Lucy part of their family. Not to mention, she found a new best friend in their German Shepherd, Sadie. Every single day, I received photos and videos of them playing nonstop. It was incredibly heartwarming, and I couldn’t have been happier knowing Lucy was in such loving and capable hands. Just to put things in perspective, Shalyn, Joe, and family are about a 40 minute drive from our home, but they will always be our go to whenever we need care for Lucy. Thank you so much for everything. You are sincerely the best.

I felt that Marble was in good hands and didn’t have to worry about him at all during our trip while he was with Bath. He seemed very happy in the pictures she sent on his walks! Thank you!

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.

Carla was so great to work with! She shared so many videos and pictures of our pooch playing in the backyard and it was so amazing to see! I loved the fact that she treated our dog like he was one of her own. She really helped put our nerves to rest throughout the whole process and I would definitely be booking with Carla again!

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!

Fantastic! She provided regular updates and was so helpful. The backyard was a break place for our dog to be. Would totally have her again and have already booked another time!

About: I bring positive energy, patience, and lots of love to every dog I care for. I work with dogs of all ages and focus on creating a stress-free, fun, and comforting experience through play, cuddles, walks, and attentive care. I take time to learn each dog's personality and needs so they feel safe, happy, and loved-- and I keep owners connected with updates and photos so they know their pup is in great hands. I am home from work for the summer. I am a full-time elementary school teacher during the school year, so I am very flexible and can make my own schedule. I am able to accommodate a variety of needs/ requests. I have a fully fenced backyard, and a senior female dog who is super social with other dogs and people. I will work with you to ensure your dog's needs are met and his/ her schedule remains the same as in their permanent home.

Barb is a true dog lover and such a kind person! We felt very comfortable having our dog stay with her and her two dogs. They got along very well and her daily text updates and photos reassured us that things were going well and no need to worry! Highly recommend Barb as a trusted dog caretaker!

Michele was AMAZING with our pup! From the moment we met her, we could tell she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. She sent us fun updates and the cutest pictures, and it was clear our dog was having the best time. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup who was clearly well cared for (and maybe a little spoiled in the best way!). Michele is reliable, warm, and goes above and beyond—we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Emily and family treated our Briggs like their own. They went on walks, cozied up by the fire and had a sleepover in the living room because he can’t get up stairs very well. I was sent pictures and he looked happy and content! We will be sure to give Emily a call next time we need someone to watch Briggs!

Erika did a fantastic job caring for our dogs. Since this was our first vacation in several years, I was nervous about leaving them for an extended period. Lincoln, our senior, requires multiple medications and supplements, and Bella struggles with separation anxiety. Erika and Ryan were so reassuring during the meet-and-greet that I felt at ease immediately; seeing Bella flip over for belly rubs was the best sign! While we were away, we received photo and video updates twice a day. I loved her comments and how she picked up on our dogs personalities 😊 It was clear the dogs were happy, enjoyed their numerous walks, and was never left alone. I’m so grateful to have found Erika and Ryan —they truly understood our dogs' needs and gave them so much love!

Melynda was amazing, she responded quickly when I messaged her. She made sure we had a meet & greet prior to our dogs stay which was great so we knew everyone would get a long & so she had a more thorough understanding of the care our dogs needed. We got picture & text updates each day which I loved so knew my babies were happy. They came home very happy & tired even our little 6 month old corgi was napping all night which is rare for her lol!

Loved having Jess take care of our big pup! He was welcomed into her family for our extended vacation and he immediately felt comfortable and at home! (He’s a little anxious so this was a big deal!). We got regular updates and photos. Will 100% use her again!

Dickson was absolutely wonderful with Charlie! He sent frequent videos and photo updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Charlie is 12 years old and diabetic, she stayed on her eating schedule and received her insulin shots on time — Dickson handled everything perfectly and with such care. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was safe, happy, and enjoying time playing in his fenced backyard. You can truly tell he loves animals and treats them like family. This was such a great experience, and I will absolutely have Charlie stay with him any time. Highly recommend Dickson to any friends or family looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!!

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!
