We were on vacation and left our beloved pet with Sylvie. He absolutely adores her, and to us, that's the best proof of how well she cared for him! We couldn't be happier with the care and attention he received. He was well looked after, well fed, and given plenty of love and affection. Sylvie kept us updated with photos and messages throughout his stay, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away ❤️❤️❤️

Michelle and Christy are phenomenal!! They watched my energetic golden retriever for 11 days over the holidays. Having met them a few weeks prior to the extended Rover visit, it was clear that they are really great people, whose positive qualities directly translated into the great amount of care they provided for Mr. Chips during his stay. The amount of updates and open communication they were willing to provide throughout the stay also made a world of difference. Seeing chips having tons of fun totally removed any sense of the worry I would have had leaving him for the 11 days. To top it off, they have a huge fenced in back yard, perfect for doggies to run and play in - and 2 cute dogs for Mr. Chips to play with. 10 out of 10.

I can't recommend Karen enough as a dog sitter! She has taken exceptional care of my dog, Django, and I always feel at ease knowing he's in her hands. From the moment I met her, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. Karen goes above and beyond, ensuring that Django gets plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. She provides regular updates and photos, which I truly appreciate. Django always comes home happy and well-cared for after his time with her.

I feel like Kyle struck the jackpot when we found Renae for boarding! It was easy to arrange pick up and drop off and we were able to meet up beforehand so that Kyle could meet Renae's two dogs. Renae kept me posted with pictures and updates about how Kyle was doing. I'm a new dog owner and Kyle is young, so I didn't know how he'd adjust to a 2+ week stay with someone else, but he had a great time and was lucky to be able to find a new playmate in Renae's younger dog. I highly recommend Renae!

She spent lots of time outside with Penny, taking her on walks and doing activities to keep her happy and engaged. Penny can definitely be a handful at times, but Magda was so patient, gentle, and kind with her. You can tell she truly loves what she does. We would recommend her to anyone.

They even asked when we were leaving again -- just kidding about that! Katharine sent us notes daily about how they were doing. Made my trip more relaxing knowing they were well taken care of. Will definitely have Katharine here again. Thank you, Katie!

I understand that they need their space. I think my gentle energy makes them feel safe so they always take a liking to me.

About: I havent been around cats as much as dogs but i always loved them. I got my cats 3 years ago, they were street cats and i took them in. It wasn’t hard adjusting to taking care of them, the only difference was their litter box which i clean out regularly, have them on an eating schedule and making sure they have plenty of water throughout the day. Since they are street cats, i did not want them to feel like they were held in captivity so they are also able to go outside and roam, they know the neighborhood well n the neighbors so they always find their way back home. Theyre very well behaved.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid, and I’ve also fostered dogs in the past. Family and friends have relied on me to care for all kinds of dogs, including senior dogs with medication needs and larger, high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise and playtime. I’m attentive, dependable, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently home from college, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m available throughout the week and can be flexible with different schedules and routines. I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs and make sure they get the attention, care, and playtime they need! When caring for pets in their home, I make sure to follow their normal routine and any instructions their owners provide. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m respectful of each client’s home and always make sure doors are securely closed, pets are supervised, and everything is left clean and tidy. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are in good hands.

Nicole is a gentle and kind care giver who help our family by talking care of our beloved dog, Maggie while we were out of town for a memorial service. Normally, we take Maggie with us when we travel but this time it was not possible. Our daughter recommended we use Rover to find a sitter for Maggie and that's how we found Nicole. We arranged for Nicole to drop in during the day periodically to ensure Maggie was taken care of. Nicole was always on schedule and sent us photos of Maggie everyday. Nicole's daily reports gave us peace of mind and comfort knowing Maggie was doing well. We highly recommend Nicole. You can truly trust Nicole to provide a high level of quality care for your four legged family members when you are away from home. Our sincere thanks to you, Nicole.

About: We treat all breeds with love! Friends and family know we will take care of their dogs as our own and have always relied on us to care for them. My husband and I love dogs, so we have opened our home for boarding and daycare of all breeds under 100lbs. I have raised puppies until they were seniors, so I have experience with every age. I have given dogs oral, eye, and ear medications before. Working part time has allowed me the time to be home all day with the dogs. My husband comes home for the night and takes care for them while I go to work. We have a 6ft fenced yard and three friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. All dogs are crated for the night and when we are not home for their safety. We only allow dogs free roam when we are home. We also supervise all play time outside and always watch everyone inside.

Denise was honestly incredible! It was pretty short notice and some people wouldn’t watch Caesar because he’s a pitbull, she rearranged her schedule to watch him. She gave me multiple updates and pictures throughout. When I came to pick him up, she gave me a painting he made (with the help of peanut butter and plastic wrap I assume)! 1000% recommend

About: Hi! I’m Nicole, and I work remotely as a graphic designer while pet-sitting! I’d love to hang out with your baby or take them on walks or just keep them company! The details: I’m currently open for a recurring lunch time walk/drop-in spot! I do have meetings throughout the day and work full-time, so it’s u likely I can accommodate any other weekday times. Weeknights and weekends are open though! I am open to sitting for all types of animals! I love to be outdoors, so walking and playing with your pet will be a treat for both me and them. I’m also cool with a little snuggle bug watching tv on the couch! I’ve walked and spent time with dogs of all shapes and sizes through volunteer work at a shelter in SK. You can count on me to love your pet as my own while I’m with them. I have no problem giving medication or any other special needs your dog might have. - I require meet & greets. - All pets must be up to date on vaccines. - All pets must be in generally good health. - I am not able to offer constant care during daytime hours on weekdays. (Additional costs will be applied for constant care). - Please let me know all about their personality, quirks, and habits! House Sitting notes: Every sitter uses this service a bit differently. For my services, house sitting = staying overnight in your home and caring for the pet between 5pm - 8am and 1 drop in around noon. Any additional needs require additional drop-in costs because I am not able to stay in your home the entire day (I must care for my own pet and another client daily). Don’t hesitate to ask questions if you have any! I'd love to hang out with your pet and work out a schedule! I do work full-time but have some flexibility in my hours. I currently have an opening for lunchtime walks or drop-ins, and I’m always open to doggy daycare. Weeknights and weekends are open! My home has a fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play, our house is small but we live in a quiet neighborhood with lots of good places to walk and sniff!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. I have a dog of my own who I personally potty trained and taught basic tricks, which has given me a strong understanding of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I am very caring and truly love animals more than anything, treating every dog as if they were my own. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while following their routines closely, and I always make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets. I prefer morning and afternoon schedules, allowing me to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I enjoy building my day around pets’ routines to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and well-loved. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication, and I treat every home and pet with respect and care.

About: I've spent 10 years around dogs — from raising my own to helping neighbors and friends with theirs. I'm patient, attentive, and know how to read a dog's needs. One of my specialties is potty training — I'm consistent and set puppies (or newly adopted dogs) up for success. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk or a calm, steady presence, I treat every dog like family. As a musician, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make dog care my main focus. I'm available throughout the day, every day, so I can offer consistent walks and visits without being rushed or squeezed between other commitments. Your pet gets my full attention, every time. I have a fenced yard and no other pets at home, so your pet gets a calm, safe space with my full attention — no competing for it with other animals. I'm based in Plainfield and I'm comfortable providing care in my own neighborhood as well as yours, whatever's most convenient for you. I always stay alert to hazards, follow any specific care instructions you give me, and never leave a pet unattended in an unfamiliar area. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first.

About: We have grown up around cats and dogs. We are the go to pet sitters for our families and friends. We have experience with cats, dogs, snakes, turtles, fish, and ferrets. We have house trained our dogs and know the patience required with the process. We both work from home so we are able to take dogs out as needed and nothing is better on a work break then cuddling some fuzzies. We have a large fenced in yard,so dogs can safely run and play. We always stay outside with them. Inside the house is pet proofed with couch protection covers and scratching posts for cats. All kitty litter is gated off from dog access. Water bowls are available upstairs and downstairs. If we are outside for more than 15 minutes we also bring a water bowl outside.

About: I love all dogs! I have a senior 12+ year old pitbull who is the most social and friendly dog anyone will ever meet. He himself has been going to doggy daycare for the last 8 years due to seperation anxiety. I work from home and do have to be at the office from time to time or job sites, so my days will vary. I’ll treat your pup like they are my own! I have been a bully breed dog mom for 21 years. We have no kids and a big yard almost a half acre where they can roam, play and of course sploot in the sun! If you pup needs meds I’m happy to help make sure they get their meds. I have plenty of dog beds for them to lounge and sleep too. I work from home, so am at a computer and can work from any room. I start at 8:30 and finish at 5 PM. I will never leave any pets unattended so they feel safe. Fenced yard and I’ll always be around watching when they venture out to the bathroom. If you tell me they need to pee every hour, on every hour it is.

Karen and Tom were great with my girl Xo. Their big yard is perfect for Xo and her excess energy! They kept me updated and sent photos and videos of Xo. I was very pleased with Xo’s overall stay. Xo normally doesn’t eat when staying in a new environment. However, Karen was able to get Xo to eat comfortably. Xo enjoyed her stay, she came back an happy girl. I feel very comfortable leaving Xo with Karen and Tom and would definitely recommend them!

Haily was absolutely wonderful, and I can’t recommend her enough! She took care of my 14 year old Maltese Poodle, Sisco, for a week while I was in Colorado, walking him twice a day and making sure he was fed and well cared for. Normally, I have family watch him because he tends to get anxious when I’m away, so I was a little nervous leaving him with someone new. Haily completely put my mind at ease. She was so kind and patient with him, and it was obvious from all the updates, photos, and detailed commentary that she genuinely cared about him. Seeing how happy and comfortable Sisco looked in every picture meant so much to me. It made being away from him so much easier, and I knew he was in great hands. Thank you, Haily, for taking such amazing care of my little guy. I would absolutely book with you again!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always had a love for animals. My current dog, Ellie, is a 4-year-old Shih-Poo. Before Ellie, our family dog was Cora, who was also a Shih-Poo and lived to be 16 years old. I also volunteered at a local dog shelter for 4 months, where I walked and bathed dogs of all different sizes. I helped my dad train Ellie, and I regularly help with her bathing, walking, and grooming. I’ve also dog-sat for family and friends while they’ve been away on vacation. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I would treat your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. 🐾 I work full-time during the week, so my availability for pet care is primarily on weekends. I’m committed to being dependable and making sure each pet feels comfortable and well cared for while they’re with me. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly 4 year old dog. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I’m happy to take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll also keep pet parents updated so they know how their pet is doing.

About: Asst in training service dogs, have had dogs for the past 25 years. I have also had cats but do not have one currently. I watch my neighbors' animals, to include a bunny and other small animals as well. I currently work from home most days and am able to work from anywhere with my laptop if I am needed to stay at your home. This also gives me the availability to leave for breaks to take your animal out for small walks or potty breaks during the day. I have always had 3 dogs at a time, but I just lost my last fur baby in January 2026 so we just got a puppy in April as I just can’t be without a fur baby. I care for my animals as family, not pets, they sleep with me and my husband and go with us when we are able to take them.I provide more of a motherly service and will care for your fur baby as if he/she were my own. This includes playing and snuggling.

About: From my first family dog at 5 to taking care of my grandparents dogs growing up, I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I have easily spent more time with them, than without. I was a friends go to for taking care of their Boston Terrier when they went on vacation in my teenage years, and more recently I have been the same for a carefree Husky and loving Rottie mix during longer family vacations, and soon a pair of awesome sibling Samoyeds. I am currently in an off year for school, so I have the privilege of having open availability. I used to work overnights so I tend to be awake late in the evening, but am not against pet care earlier in the day. I am a very patient and caring person and I understand your relationship with your dog is important. With that said I am willing to accommodate the needs of your pet and you. Whether they need plenty of playtime, affection, or guidance, I am more than excited to provide.

About: Hi nice to meet you all! I started doing Rover because I use to work in vet med and have missed getting to work with animals and their owners. I love working with animals and greatly enjoy the time I spend with them. I do work full time so I do Rover on my off days and before/after my full time job. I have experience caring for not only dogs and cats but small pets also(this includes parrots, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, rats, mice, gerbils). I am always available to answer questions to pet parents about how their pet is doing in my care, and willing to accommodate additional care instructions as well. While your pet is in my care you will receive a Rover card from each visit/stay with photos provided. I am trained in pet CPR and have experience with senior pets and any medication needs that your pet may have. I am also experienced with shy pets as well and will always allow your pet to take their time to get to know me and warm up to me. My number one goal is that your pet is comfortable, happy and healthy while in my care. I do require a meet and greet to ensure that your pet is comfortable with me and a good fit as well. House Sitting. I have recently reopened up house sitting services in your home. I am available each day to ensure your pets and home are taken care. walks if asked for by the owner(no additional charge for these!), play time, food and water checks and any medications administered if needed. Small Pet Care I also have experience caring for small pets and birds if you need your small furry or feathered ones looked after while you are away. I have experience with birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, rats and mice. Care for these guys will include food and water checks, attention and if needed a spot clean of their cage as well, along with any medications needed if these are required. Boarding/Day Care I have just opened up boarding and daycare(daycare only on select days when I am not working my full time job). Boarding requirements include any dog under 35lbs due to having cats that can be skittish around larger dogs. Your dog must get along with cats and small animals and be okay with being home alone for a few hours a day. Up to date on vaccines and a trial visit will be required to ensure your dog is a good fit to stay with us. Dog Training. I am currently finishing a course through Good Pup offered by Rover and am so excited to be offering training to existing and new clients once I complete my certification! I do work full time but I do have availability before and after work to care for pets and am available on my off days as well for pet care. I will always ensure to respect your home and ensure it is in the same condition as when you left your pet in my care.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Bradlei. She was incredibly intentional with her time with my dogs and made sure they were well cared for, comfortable, and happy. Her communication was excellent, and the detailed updates including a thoughtful report card from their walks. This gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was trustworthy, respectful of my home, and clearly attentive to my dogs’ individual needs. When I returned, my dogs were calm and relaxed, which says everything about the level of care they received. I’m so grateful to have found her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate dog walker

About: Natural born dog whisperer. Wanted a Pit bull ended up with a Chihuahua. I truly believe Cuco, my dog, was my animal soulmate. Although he has since passed, I loved caring for him full time and now hope to have the opportunity to care for your pup part time. I am a patient walker — even if that means infinite stops to sniff stuff. Will always speak to them as I would to a human child. Plus, no human children in household only your pet child. Can help with potty training and social/public anxiety relief. Guaranteed good belly rubs, affection, and fresh bowl of water/food at all times under my care. I’d be thrilled to take very photogenic pictures of them and send them your way along with updates. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any additional questions and/or concerns. I am a remote employee and am home 100% of the time with your pet. Pups are welcomed to join me for a day of work, enjoy window views (bark at delivery drivers) and take all the naps desired. Sliding door for them to look outside while inside. Indoor cameras to keep an eye on pup if up to trouble from my office. Designated space in the living room, kitchen, office, and loft for them. This is our home, and we hope to make your pup feel right at home too—pups are allowed on all furniture (couches, human beds). My partner Martin also lives here—he’s a very loving caretaker of dogs and often helps keep them busy on weekends or when he’s not at work.

About: Hi! I’m Nicole, and I work remotely as a graphic designer while pet-sitting! I’d love to hang out with your baby or take them on walks or just keep them company! The details: I’m currently open for a recurring lunch time walk/drop-in spot! I do have meetings throughout the day and work full-time, so it’s u likely I can accommodate any other weekday times. Weeknights and weekends are open though! I am open to sitting for all types of animals! I love to be outdoors, so walking and playing with your pet will be a treat for both me and them. I’m also cool with a little snuggle bug watching tv on the couch! I’ve walked and spent time with dogs of all shapes and sizes through volunteer work at a shelter in SK. You can count on me to love your pet as my own while I’m with them. I have no problem giving medication or any other special needs your dog might have. - I require meet & greets. - All pets must be up to date on vaccines. - All pets must be in generally good health. - I am not able to offer constant care during daytime hours on weekdays. (Additional costs will be applied for constant care). - Please let me know all about their personality, quirks, and habits! House Sitting notes: Every sitter uses this service a bit differently. For my services, house sitting = staying overnight in your home and caring for the pet between 5pm - 8am and 1 drop in around noon. Any additional needs require additional drop-in costs because I am not able to stay in your home the entire day (I must care for my own pet and another client daily). Don’t hesitate to ask questions if you have any! I'd love to hang out with your pet and work out a schedule! I do work full-time but have some flexibility in my hours. I currently have an opening for lunchtime walks or drop-ins, and I’m always open to doggy daycare. Weeknights and weekends are open! My home has a fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play, our house is small but we live in a quiet neighborhood with lots of good places to walk and sniff!

Michelle and Christy are phenomenal!! They watched my energetic golden retriever for 11 days over the holidays. Having met them a few weeks prior to the extended Rover visit, it was clear that they are really great people, whose positive qualities directly translated into the great amount of care they provided for Mr. Chips during his stay. The amount of updates and open communication they were willing to provide throughout the stay also made a world of difference. Seeing chips having tons of fun totally removed any sense of the worry I would have had leaving him for the 11 days. To top it off, they have a huge fenced in back yard, perfect for doggies to run and play in - and 2 cute dogs for Mr. Chips to play with. 10 out of 10.

I can't recommend Karen enough as a dog sitter! She has taken exceptional care of my dog, Django, and I always feel at ease knowing he's in her hands. From the moment I met her, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. Karen goes above and beyond, ensuring that Django gets plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. She provides regular updates and photos, which I truly appreciate. Django always comes home happy and well-cared for after his time with her.

I feel like Kyle struck the jackpot when we found Renae for boarding! It was easy to arrange pick up and drop off and we were able to meet up beforehand so that Kyle could meet Renae's two dogs. Renae kept me posted with pictures and updates about how Kyle was doing. I'm a new dog owner and Kyle is young, so I didn't know how he'd adjust to a 2+ week stay with someone else, but he had a great time and was lucky to be able to find a new playmate in Renae's younger dog. I highly recommend Renae!

Erin was fantastic with my dog, Max, this weekend! She provided daily updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Max was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout his stay. Erin was reliable, communicative, and treated Max like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter, and I would definitely book with her again.

We could not be happier with Natalie and how she took care of our very sensitive Great Dane! She and her fiancé were naturals with her and communicated with us extremely well. All of the photos and antidotes helped us feel confident that our dog was doing OK and enjoying herself! It’s very rare to find such kind, caring and professional people to take care of your pets. She is a true gem!

About: Pet Care Experience I have hands-on experience caring for my own dog and understand the responsibilities involved in providing daily care. My duties included feeding and providing fresh water, taking my dog on regular walks for exercise, grooming, cleaning up after them, and ensuring they had a safe and comfortable environment. I also monitored my dog's health and behavior, administered medications when needed as directed, and provided plenty of attention, playtime, and affection to support their overall well-being. Through this experience, I developed patience, responsibility, and a strong understanding of the importance of consistent, compassionate pet care. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I make time each day to feed my dog, provide fresh water, take them on walks, clean up after them, and spend time playing and interacting with them. I also make sure they receive any needed grooming and monitor their health and behavior to ensure they are happy and well cared for. Caring for my dog has helped me develop consistency, responsibility, and a strong commitment to meeting an animal's daily needs. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I follow the owner's instructions to ensure the pet stays on its normal routine. I provide fresh food and water, regular walks and exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I clean up after pets, keep their living areas clean, and monitor their behavior for any signs of illness or discomfort. If medications are required, I administer them according to the owner's directions. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment while treating every pet with patience, kindness, and care.

La Toya is wonderful! She has taken care of my pup twice already and we have her booked for a third stay as well. We love that she has dogs already which helped set our pup at ease and provided good play for him. He comes home happy, tired, and well fed. La Toya is professional and kind in handling your pets needs and we certainly recommend her!
