Susan was absolutely amazing with Paganini! 🐾 She has a big backyard where he got to run and play all day, and she took him on long, happy walks too. Throughout the day, she sent me tons of adorable photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Paganini came home happy, calm, and completely well-rested—a true sign he was loved and well cared for. She was also incredibly kind, communicative, and accommodating with our schedule, especially knowing we have a baby at home. On top of that, she made sure Paganini got his daily medication without any issues, which was such a relief. I honestly can’t recommend Susan enough—she treated Paganini like one of her own, and we feel so lucky to have found her!

Mirriam and Terrell were the best rovers we’ve ever had! We received plenty of updates, pictures, and videos of our dog being spoiled, playing, and sleeping! They were also kind enough to watch our dog last minute with no issues while we went on a camping trip. We felt very relieved and safe that our pet was in good hands. We highly recommend them!!!

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.

Michele was great! Our 5yr old dog was only babysat one time ever prior to this. So he's a bit nervous with strangers. We were out of state on vacation for 2wks and we were worried how he'd do. Well Michele sent pics and msgs everyday we asked which was great! Michele did an exceptional job! We are super pleased with Michele and would use her again for sure.

We provide excellent communication for drop off and pick up and sent daily messages and pics of them having fun and being loved just like if they were at home. She is a true animal lover and treated our babies as her own. We would not hesitate to call her again when needed. She deserves all 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Peggy was Wonderful with Appa. She loves dogs and I believe that she took care of him very well. When I went too pick him up he was showing affection to her and to her husband despite he had not seeing me for 12 days. That was a great sign for me that he was in good care. She sent me texts and pictures of Appa constantly. She was Fantastic!!! I am very grateful of how nice she was. I will recommend her and I will leave Appa again with her. She has been the best pet sitter I have seen in Rover.

Renae was great! Our dog is a 6 month old puppy. We got him weeks before we hired Renae and were very worried about how he was going to do and if he was going to be okay. Renae went above and beyond the call. She took him to parks and the beach and kept him busy the whole weekend. She sent daily updates (sometimes even twice daily) that included pictures of him enjoying himself. We are first time dog owners and she did a great job of relieving the stress of leaving a dog so young with a stranger. She even gave us a few pointers that she's picked up on in her time with dogs. She's a true professional and I'm very impressed with the quality of care we received.

About: I have had pet dogs and cats my whole life, and they have always been a cherished part of my family. I currently live in a non-pet-friendly apartment building, so Rover gives me the opportunity to care for pets while I can’t have one of my own. I work at a warehouse on second shift, so I am gone in the evenings and head back home around 1am. When housesitting, I’m able to provide care to your pets during the day until I leave for work at 3:30 pm i will do my best to adhere to your normal routine with your pets, and ensure that they are exercised, fed, and pottied before I leave for work. It is my goal to adhere to your pets’ normal routine as much as possible. When I am watching someone’s pets for the first time, I request details about their schedule, eating and play habits, special quirks, etc so that I am prepared to give them consistent and attentive care.

About: I have always had a dog or two for pets during my life. I would not know how to be without one. I have just recently become a lover of cats, too. My son has 4 and I find myself wanting to visit them often. I look forward to coming home after work and seeing the joy in my dogs eyes that I bring them. I would love to bring that same joy to your pet. I would be available to visit your pet from 3pm to 10pm during the weekdays and I am open on the weekends. I would love them and care for them like they were my own. I am patient. I would love the opportunity to meet your pet! P.S. I do not have a Facebook account. I would rather spend my time with people, friends, family, my pets and animals. Please contact me through email. I look forward to meeting you and your pet soon! I work at the school as a librarian. I am available after 3 on weekdays,and all day on weekends. I am very flexible and reliable. I have a huge yard. I have a sweet little Morkie who would keep your dog company. I would provide security and love to your dog.

About: With a wealth of experience in various animal-related fields, my love for animals began at a young age when I volunteered for a local animal rescue for seven years. Once I entered the workforce, I spent several years as a Kennel Technician at Kendall County Animal Control. I then accepted a position at Springbrook Animal Care Center, where I cherished many years until the pandemic hit. I now work aa a Quality Assurance Coordinator for the elderly. Additionally I am an active volunteer and foster for a local rescue. I have been a pet sitter for many years, but I have been a professional pet sitter for over 3 years now. I am currently furthering my animal education by taking online courses on pet sitting and pet care. My focuses are primarily on reptiles, cats, dogs, fish, small critters, and exotics. Beyond my professional life I like to spend my time planning my next disney trip and tending to my garden. Moreover, my garden serves as a personal sanctuary, where I cultivate a variety of plants that attract local wildlife, from butterflies to birds. This connection with nature complements my love for animals, reminding me of the intricate web of life that we all share. Looking to the future, I hope to expand my skills and continue making a positive impact in the world of animal care, always driven by the simple yet profound joy that animals bring into our lives. My favorite animal is the Capybara

Amber is an amazing pet sitter. Not that you should do this but we booked her last minute and she was very accommodating and flexible. She worked with my other pet sitter and helped with a big task- catching and caring for our chickens bumblefoot. We even had an unfortunate event happen while we were gone and Amber cared for it. We could not be more grateful and couldn’t recommend Amber enough!!!

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to give them the attention, activity, and affection they need when I’m with them. I have a fenced in yard with enough space to run and play, I also have a chocolate lab who is laid back and loves other dogs.

Miriam was wonderful, absolutely wonderful with Katie, our terrier rescue. She let her sit on her lap while she worked. She had a raincoat, then a winter coat, on her when the weather got colder for her trips outdoors. She furnished these coats, I didn't bring any. A 3-page report card was given to me when I picked Katie up. It detailed her potty breaks and told cute little stories about their day together. I received numerous pics and videos that I thoroughly enjoyed. I met Terrell when I was leaving, and he seemed just as wonderful. I would give her 100 stars if I could.

I work 3 hours a day at my kiddos school otherwise I m home with my little guy and chickens. My yard is fenced but I do like taking walks and playing in the yard. I do some dog walking in the neighborhood but am accepting more!

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!

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!

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since childhood. First it was cats, then dogs, and I’m now a proud owner of a Quaker parrot. I’m willing to walk or pet sit dogs, help pet sit cats at their own home, and the same with exotic birds. Someone is always home with the pet and we also help you dog get socialized with our parrot. When I had dogs, I let them sleep on the bed with us. I also let them sit on the furniture, too. And I do spoil them, also. 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.

I work full time and I am up bright an early. I can let you dogs out before and after work on weekdays. On weekend I can do drop ins, daycare and boarding at the owners house. I have reliable transportation. I will not have pets at my apartment due to size. I'd rather go to the owner's home for an easier transition for the dog/cat. To make it easier, I need a detailed schedule and a phone number to contact owners for updates and photos.

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. However, school is out for the summer until August, so I will be manually updating my Rover schedule to provide some availability Monday through Friday. 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’ve grown up with dogs my entire life; big medium small. I have always been able to create connections with furry friends by giving them lots of love and attention. I’m very attentive when it comes to taking care of senior dogs and their needs. As well as being just as playful as puppies are. I’m currently on summer break before I go to college to become a pediatrician. This being said, my schedule is very available for a long while! For my dog at home, I treat her like family! I walk her daily, feed her twice a day, and give her snuggles and lots of love. I take her outside in the backyard about every hour in the fenced in backyard and she’ll run around and go nuts chasing her ball, and running after rabbits.

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.

About: I've been caring for animals for over 12 years, starting with my own dog, Lola. Since both of my parents worked, I was often responsible for feeding her, taking her on walks, playing with her, and making sure she was well cared for. That experience taught me responsibility from a young age and helped me develop a genuine love for animals. Since then, I've cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors, including dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I am currently home for the summer, which means my availability is very flexible and I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. Once summer ends, I will be continuing my pilot training and taking online courses through Lewis University. Even then, my schedule will remain flexible, allowing me to continue providing reliable and attentive care for your pets. I have a fenced yard and one dog of my own, Phoebe, who is incredibly friendly and loves being around other dogs. She can play all day long and does a great job helping other dogs feel comfortable in a new environment! If your pet will be staying in my home, I would be more than happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand so they can get to know Phoebe and make sure everyone is a good fit. Your pet's safety and well being are always my top priorities, and I will follow any routines or instructions you provide to help them feel right at home!

Kimberly was amazing with our crazy dog! We just moved and he was a bit anxious, but he loved her! She even offered to sew up one of the things he tore up in his kennel! She is so sweet and kept me informed on how my crazy little boy was doing while I was at work! I will definitely book her again!

About: **All clients are required to provide updated vaccination records and any details about ongoing flea/tick/heartworm prevention or treatment details before booking** What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep love for animals, my ability to connect with dogs of all personalities, and my specialized skills in training, energy management, and senior pet care.

Every pet I care for becomes part of my extended family. Whether they need structured training, high-energy exercise, extra snuggles, or specialized medical care, I am committed to providing the very best. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are my top priorities! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I’ve structured my schedule to ensure I’m always available when pets need attention, exercise, and love. With open availability, I can accommodate early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, and even last-minute requests. 🐶 How Pet Care Fits Into My Routine: ✔️ Flexible Schedule – I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, and drop-in visits. ✔️ Consistent & Reliable – Whether your pet needs daily care or occasional check-ins, I provide dependable service. ✔️ Personalized Attention – Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to their needs, whether it’s an energetic pup who loves long walks or a senior dog that enjoys a slow stroll. ✔️ Overnight & Extended Stays – I’m available for in-home pet sitting or boarding at my place to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. Caring for pets is more than just a job for me—it’s a responsibility I take seriously, ensuring every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether in your home or mine, I strive to maintain a stress-free, happy environment for your furry friend. 🐾 In Your Home: ✔️ Routine & Comfort – I stick to your pet’s normal schedule for meals, walks, and playtime to reduce stress. ✔️ Clean & Safe Environment – I respect your space, ensuring everything stays clean while keeping your pet’s area tidy. ✔️ Extra Love & Attention – Whether your dog needs belly rubs, playtime, or a little extra reassurance, I’m there for them. ✔️ Specialized Care – From administering medication to accommodating senior dogs or puppies, I adjust to each pet’s unique needs. 🐶 In My Home (if applicable): ✔️ A Safe & Loving Space – My home is pet-friendly, with plenty of space for play and relaxation. ✔️ Supervised Play & Exercise – Dogs get the attention and activity they need to stay happy and healthy. ✔️ Crate & Non-Crate Options – I accommodate whatever setup your dog is used to for a smooth transition. ✔️ Like One of My Own – Your pet will get plenty of love, cuddles, and care while staying with me! I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel at ease when leaving their furry companions in someone else's care. My goal is to make the experience stress-free for both you and your pet!

Susan was absolutely amazing with Paganini! 🐾 She has a big backyard where he got to run and play all day, and she took him on long, happy walks too. Throughout the day, she sent me tons of adorable photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Paganini came home happy, calm, and completely well-rested—a true sign he was loved and well cared for. She was also incredibly kind, communicative, and accommodating with our schedule, especially knowing we have a baby at home. On top of that, she made sure Paganini got his daily medication without any issues, which was such a relief. I honestly can’t recommend Susan enough—she treated Paganini like one of her own, and we feel so lucky to have found her!

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.

Sonja was an excellent caregiver to our 2 12 week Bernie doodle puppies. We were nervous leaving them with anyone but she was very kind and reassuring. We provide excellent communication for drop off and pick up and sent daily messages and pics of them having fun and being loved just like if they were at home. She is a true animal lover and treated our babies as her own. We would not hesitate to call her again when needed. She deserves all 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kasey was an exceptional dog sitter! She took great care of our goldendoodle, ensuring she was happy and well-exercised. Her dogs were sweet and friendly to my dog too. Kasey communicated regularly, sending updates and photos that put our minds at ease. Her genuine love for dogs was evident, and we returned home to a relaxed and content dog. Highly recommend her services!

Peggy was Wonderful with Appa. She loves dogs and I believe that she took care of him very well. When I went too pick him up he was showing affection to her and to her husband despite he had not seeing me for 12 days. That was a great sign for me that he was in good care. She sent me texts and pictures of Appa constantly. She was Fantastic!!! I am very grateful of how nice she was. I will recommend her and I will leave Appa again with her. She has been the best pet sitter I have seen in Rover.

Renae was great! Our dog is a 6 month old puppy. We got him weeks before we hired Renae and were very worried about how he was going to do and if he was going to be okay. Renae went above and beyond the call. She took him to parks and the beach and kept him busy the whole weekend. She sent daily updates (sometimes even twice daily) that included pictures of him enjoying himself. We are first time dog owners and she did a great job of relieving the stress of leaving a dog so young with a stranger. She even gave us a few pointers that she's picked up on in her time with dogs. She's a true professional and I'm very impressed with the quality of care we received.

Katy was amazing with our 25 lb goldendoodle! We reached out last minute as our typical dog sitter cancelled without much notice. Katy responded quickly and was willing to watch our pup for 5 nights!! She sent updates and pictures throughout the weekend and we knew our dog was in great hands! He was happy and healthy when we picked him up, and he was tired out from all the fun walks and play dates he went on. Thank you again Katy, we will definitely be reaching out to rebook in the future!

Pat went above and beyond to care for our senior pup who is prone to some anxiety. She took care of our dog as if she were her own. She provided lots of updates and pictures and we knew that our girl was in very good hands. Pat has a nice, big and fenced-in backyard which we know our dog enjoyed exploring. Communication was quick and easy from the meet and greet through the entire visit. We’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Katie and her family were so amazing with our baby dog. She’s like a totally different pup! She doesn’t get upset in the crate, her bitting has dramatically dropped, and she’s much more claim throughout the day. I cannot thank her enough for taking ivy in on short notice and letting her be apart of her family. 10/10 would recommend!
