Highly-rated overnight sitters - Serena
“Susan and her husband were great pet sitters. Seth loved them and their property. She kept in contact with us for the time she had Seth with texts and pictures. I will definitely use her again.”
“Kimberly was great! She has an excellent rural location with lots of place for pets to roam around. She kept on updating and sending photos all the time. When we picked up our pet he looked really good and it showed that he had a good time with her. Would definitely recommend to anyone.”
“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.”
“Tracy did a wonderful job watching my fur babies. I could tell that she gave them lots of love while I was out. She was very kind and sent me lots of great pictures during their stay! I would highly recommend! Thank you so much Tracy!”
“Phenomenal Experience with Michele G.! Michele went above and beyond to make sure she had everything in place for a smooth, happy weekend with our fur baby. From the moment we arrived, we could tell she was a genuinely kind and caring person—Skye immediately warmed up to her, tail wagging and full of excitement. Throughout our trip, Michele was always available for quick, friendly communication, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned, Skye greeted us in high spirits, clearly having enjoyed her time. We’re so grateful for Michele’s attentiveness and warmth, and we will absolutely be rebooking with her in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Beyonka did a great job. She always sent us pictures and Denver looked very happy when I picked him up, he was clean and smelling very good and it looked like he had a blast with her dogs. I absolutely recommend her.”
“I honestly can’t thank Kathleen enough for watching my baby! She sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend. I know my boy was loved. He played all weekend and was absolutely worn out after playing in Kathleen’s backyard all weekend. Aside from taking such great care of my boy, she was super flexible and understanding of my schedule. My plans had changed last minute and she ended up taking him a second night. We also got into town a little later than I thought and she was kind the entire time! Kathleen thank you so so much for making my weekend stress free and taking such amazing care of my fur baby!”
“Leslie did a great job with my Marley. Marley is a very anxious dog and he had a blast with Leslie. I will leave for my work trip in a couple weeks knowing that he is in good hands and being well cared for! 🤍”
“Brian and his family are amazing! He is patient, attentive and caring. This was my second time using rover, and needed someone last min, he was flexible and communicative, and sent tons of updates and pics that helped put my mind at ease. I highly recommend!”
“Beatrice was a life-saver! She took our dog Pixel on short notice and was great to coordinate with for drop-off and pick-up. It was clear that she paid close attention and took great care of our pup; she sent sweet pictures of her each day, and returned her to us happy and exhausted after lots of walks and play time with other pups in Beatrice's care. We highly recommend this sitter (as well as her daughter Jazmin, the other Rover sitter at this house) - they're knowledgeable about dog behavior and training, conscious of dietary needs and other accommodations, and best of all, they're very active! Expect your dog to get lots of exercise, well-monitored socialization, and maybe even some scenic outdoor adventures! It's nice when your pet gets a vacation when you do!”
“Renae was very flexible with my pick-up and drop-off times and is very knowledgeable! Rex had a great time playing with Renae's dogs and I could tell he really enjoyed his weekend. I also appreciated all the time she spent with him at the park!”
“Ashley was absolutely wonderful! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our first time boarding our dog. She was so nice, friendly and professional. Ashley kept us updated regularly with pics and videos of our furry guy. She answered all of our questions, informed us of any behaviors we should know about and kept our Chip safe, happy and made sure he was very well cared for. We are so thankful for the peace of mind we had so we could enjoy our vacation. We came home to one happy boy! She is the best!💚”
“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!”
“Kathleen was a great caregiver for our dog, Tess. She treated her as her own, and provided a great experience for her. She sent pictures and a video, and it was clear that Tess enjoyed her time, and was well cared for.”
“Liz was a fantastic sitter! She sent us pictures daily and I knew our Parker was having her own mini vacation. She loved playing with their dog Luna and got plenty of love and snuggles.”
“Mera and her family gave my dog a wonderful and loving environment. She was responsive when I texted, and gave me updates with photos often. I look forward to having her watch my dog again in the future. She gave my mind at ease, knowing that my dog was in good hands.”

About: Hello! My name is Tia, I am a huge animal lover and figured I might as well try to make money doing something I love, being with animals of course! I am a stay at home mother of two elementary aged boys. Your furry family member will be treated as an equal and will receive unconditional love here. Sadly, we are not financially ready to add a furry member into our pack, so welcoming your little friend into our lives would be an excitingly, wonderful time for us! I also do bathing, nail clipping/filing, teeth brushing and ear cleaning if you are in need of that extra service. I started using Rover in 2015 and was active on here through 2019. I took a break from the app due to no animals allowed where I was living. Although, I continued working as a dog bather through the years. My photos on here are older, but I will be updating with more recent photos soon, As I have plenty I can post. At the moment, I am now living in well kept and spacious camper within a beautiful and quiet camping resort and am excited to have the opportunity to be back to working with Rover and watching over your furry babies. I hope to hear from you soon! Message me with any questions and please don't hesitate! I have all the love in the world to give! (: I stay at home right now, so your pup/ kitty will have my undivided attention and all the love they need to feel comfortable while they are away from you. I have plenty of space for them to relax comfortably, and I have no problem allowing animals on the furniture and bed. There is also lots of land for them to explore. I do not have a fenced area, but am more than happy to take your pup for a walk for a long as they need.

I work full time in the afternoon shift but my boyfriend works mornings so there is always someone home. He loves animals, too! I do my best to work around my schedule. Our bird Kerry only goes in his cage when we are both out of the house and at bedtime. Otherwise, we let him out. Kerry is used to dogs. He likes to talk to dogs.

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. Dogs that are friendly will be able to socialize/play with my very well tempered pack, depending on owner preference. I have a fenced yard and there are no gaps or ways to get out. I can also accommodate jumpers using a long recall leash!
“Yesenia was so great. I was in from out of town and I had a gap between when we needed to be out of the Airbnb and when the class I came for ended. I needed some place to take my dog for a few hours. She was conveniently near where I needed to be. She attentively asked about my dog’s needs (she’s dog-reactive and has anxiety) and provided a safe space for her to be. My dog felt so relaxed that she fell asleep while cuddling with her. Would highly recommend Yesenia’s services!”
“It was my first time taking my Rocky to Jennifer. Jennifer was wonderful with Rocky and kept me posted throughout the day of how he was doing. Rocky was able to play with the other pups and sure got his exercise for the day. He was one pooped pup when he came home. We have Jennifer booked for a week for our vacation in August. I feel like Rocky is getting a vacation too! Lots of fun and socialization.”

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!

About: I absolutely love animals! My family’s had animals my whole life. If I had more room I’d have so many more! So instead you should let me meet yours ☺️ Thank you!

About: My passion for dogs has been with me since a very young age. As a child, my dream was to be a vet because of my passion and love for animals. I have 20 years of service, and my approach to caring for my dogs at home has always been holistic and natural. I've reversed my dog's diagnosed disease naturally and have saved his life naturally when vets have told me to put my dog to sleep. I'm thorough with my dogs’ routine, medication, diet, and cleaning eating. That makes me highly prepared for the dogs I tend to. Fun fact: My family and I own 17 pets! Usually, when everyone goes on a family trip, I'm the caregiver for all our pets at once. Hopefully, the background I give of my experience gives you peace in choosing me to watch your babies 🐩🐶🐕 I do freelance work; it's my main source of income. Therefore, it’s easy to create my own schedule and very flexible days and hours. It will be easier for you to book with me as I strive to work with your schedule and needs effortlessly. Personally, with my own dog, I'm highly attentive. Even though we have a backyard, I strongly believe in always being present and attentive when taking your dog out to potty. Even in your own backyard! Anytime they are outside, I will be present. I also think it’s important to interact and be present regularly with them; they need attention and love, too. I make sure to spend time with my dog when I come home and make time to play, cuddle, and show him affection . Also, it's important for me to take him out of the house. Even if it's a short walk, cruising in the car to pick up errands or food. It's important for them to explore and experience different environments.

I am working part-time, so I can be available whenever needed. I prefer weekdays, but am willing to do weekends. Timing is flexible as well :) I have a fenced-in yard, and two dogs at the house.

About: I use to work with kids so nothing suprises me and I'm very good under pressure. I always find another way. I love all animals I'll even watch your other pets. I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, birds, and etc just ask. I'm always willing to learn. I will also work with dogs of all kinds even special needs of any kind or just special stuff needed to be done with them. A month and a half after getting my puppy she jumped out of my sister arms so I had a energized mini aussie on my hands that had to wear a splint for her broken leg. I'm ready for any challenge I work 38/40 hour weeks so I would pet sit before my shifts; after my shifts. If in Pontiac I would also do it during my hour lunch if needed It’s been years since I was an “official” pet sitter but really whatever the animal needs I am willing to do. Every animal needs slightly different care
About: As a former 4-H participant, I not only showed dogs but also engaged in comprehensive animal care and training programs.

About: I have been taking care of the pets of friends and family for years, ranging from dog-walking to week-long pet sitting. Experience with a wide range of breeds and ages. I am a substitute teacher with a very flexible schedule, so I can take care of animals pretty much any time during days when I am not subbing. For sitting at other’s’ home, I try and keep the pet’s schedule as close to normal as possible! I prefer sitting in other’s’ homes just to keep things simple for the furry babies.
About: My pet care experience consists of having a dog throughout my childhood and adult years. I've always loved the companionship of owning a dog and also visiting or babysitting families and friends' dogs/cats. With having a dog comes a lot of responsibility and attention whether that's feeding, letting outside, physical activity, and training. I'm experienced in all of those qualities. The pet care that I will be using through the new dogs and cats I meet are the basics of giving treats, going for walks, and playing fetch or ball. Those basics are important and useful for dog caregivers because any dog would love the attention and care that you are giving them unconditionally. I'm also experienced in grooming with bathing the pet if needed. Whether that's outside with a hose and soap or inside in a bathtub. Dogs are my best friends and should be treated with love and companionship therefore I would treat the dog and make sure they are happy and comfortable but also safe and calm at all times. My schedule is very flexible and in the case of babysitting or walking a dog, I will be attentive and responsible. Since I currently have a dog at home I take her outside frequently, stay outside with her and walk around the backyard or throw a toy and play fetch or even just sit in the grass and give her belly rubs. My daily routine consists of letting my dog outside and hanging out with her off and on while also letting her have time to rest and chill by herself. My weekly routine is the same as my daily routine aside from additional car rides, pup cups, or cousin visits with other dogs. The safety, trust & Environment of the care for the pet in my home and or my client's home will consist of making sure all doors are shut when entering and exiting the home or garage. Also making sure the dog is on a leash and well equipped when walking through a neighborhood. I also have a fenced-in yard so I'm experienced with fences and the proper precautions if needed. I can easily create your dog too if needed. Also water supply and refilling the water bowl as needed and giving supplements or medicine also. Also will have the clients contact information in case of emergency.
