“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 ❤️❤️❤️”
“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.”
“Debbie and Reggie took very good care of Daisy and Patch. They communicated well with us and sent daily photos. They clearly kept our pups active and attended to. Feed well even our dogs can be finicky eaters. Would definitely use them again.”
“My stella had a nice time staying with them. I received text each day telling me how the night went. Even when I came to pick her up they were on a walk with her. I will use there service again.”
“Vader seemed happy & seems like he wouldn’t have minded staying longer with Kristen & her family. I will use her again 🐶🙌 I forgot his crate & his paw was injured before boarding, so she could’ve easily turned Vader away upon arrival & she went above the regular needs to accommodate him & care for him. Thank you Kristen.”
“Beth was amazing!! Our dog seemed to love being with her. She sent a lot of pictures and videos, which was very comforting. She played with him a ton and treated him like one of her own. We will definitely book with Beth again.”
“Sorry for the very late review. My experience with Estefania was GREAT. I had some delays coming back and Estefania worked with me without any problems. Junior loved her and her family they have a very cozy welcoming home. I will be rebooking soon. Thank you Estefania”
“Enas and her girls always take excellent care of Cara. They are very flexible when plans change; for example, a big storm was coming the day we planned to drop off Cara and leave for our trip, so we decided to leave early to get ahead of the storm, Enas was very accommodating & communication is always prompt. Cara loves staying here, and Enas always provides pictures throughout her stay, so I can see what a great time she is having. Enas is always top of my list for Cara’s “vacation spots.””
“This was my first time leaving my dog with someone. I was so happy that Ollie was happy. I didn’t feel stressed out about her while I was gone. Jennifer communicated every day with me and sent pictures. I am great full to her and her husband for taking care of Ollie for me! I will definitely use them again, and recommend them to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter!”
“Kurt Russell loves going to hang out with Alyssa and her family. She has been so great and we have no worries when we drop him off with her. She keeps us updated with pictures and messages. We really appreciate you. Thank you so much.”
“We boarded our dog a couple of times and always had a great experience with La Toya. Always quickly responds to requests, sends pictures everyday and updates. I highly recommend!”
“They treated our fur baby like one of their own. Very responsive and provided updates on his day. I found them as our normal sitter was unavailable, but they will definitely see Leo again!”
“Tami was friendly and professional. We felt very comfortable after meeting with her, her family and her dogs. She was very sweet to our golden retriever and attentive. She maintained regular connections with little messages and photos each day. Would love to use her again for a future stay.”
“We were pleased with our new pet sitter. Ana was kind, gentle,and caring to our senior dog, Buster. He was happy when we came home after our 5 day get away. We loved hearing from Ana and receiving pictures of Buster. Thank you, Ana”
“Really came through for me when I needed a sitter last minute. Kept me really well updated with pics and videos of my dog while in his care. My dog and his dog have gotten along great, really kept him entertained!”
“Marissa as able to fit my Thaddeus in last min and was willing to work with me. He enjoyed spending time there. She kept me posted. Her whole family was incredibly kind. I highly recommend. I plan to use their service when I’m back in the area.”
“Clarissa was so amazing with rotini! She went above and beyond to make sure he was eating well and having a great time. Her dog, Rue, was the perfect playmate for my dog. Would rebook with her anytime!”
“A great stay for our greyhound Happy. She is loved and well cared-for by Beatrice. Our second stay with Beatrice and it will not be our last. Happy was immediately comfortable when I dropped her off for this second stay - such a great sign that she is content and feels at home while with Beatrice.”

“I cannot say enough how happy we are with Katie! I have three cats; one of which is undergoing cancer treatment requiring her to give him medication. I was so incredibly nervous about leaving him for the week but Katie was amazing. I even think he gained a little weight while we were gone and I was worried he would lose. I felt so confident in Katie’s knowledge of animals that she would be able to recognize if my cancer kitty was in need of medical attention. She left such detailed updates and photos which put me at such ease every day when I knew my boys were doing well. Katie went above and beyond, she brought in mail and took out our garbage. We got home late last night to three happy cats, which is typically not the case because they get stressed out when we go away. But they were happy to see us and calm and I believe that’s because they were so well taken care of by Katie. She will be our go to pet sitter from now on.”
“Sarah did a great job with our two cats - Bonnie & Clyde while we were away on vacation. We received daily updates from her about our babies and her communication with me while we were gone was excellent!! We will definitely be using Sarah again in the future. Thank you 😊”
“Lisa was great as usual. One of our cats had some slight medical issues and she informed us daily of her status. Lisa really seems to care about our cats and they seem to have adapted quite well to her. Thank you!”
“Ashely came by to do a meet and greet a few days before taking care of Kali which was so helpful for me to show her around the house. She followed all of my instructions and Kali was very happy with her! Will definitely be going back to her as needed☺️🥰”
“Kaylyn was fantastic! She was very communicative and ensured Chloe was enjoying her stay while getting in a good mix of cuddles and exercise. I cannot recommend her enough to take care of your fur babies!”
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.
“Emily was friendly, considerate and communicative. She took great care of my cats and went above and beyond my instructions. I am very pleased with her work and would highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care.”
About: My daughter adopted an 8 year old cat from a shelter and I help her care for him when she is home from college or goes out of town. She is a vet student and I have helped her with medications and nail clipping with her cat.i also adopted a cat with health issues last December 2025.
“Jillian was absolutely incredible when watching my 2 cats. They were both extremely comfortable around her, and she made my boys feel safe. When one of them puked a few times during visits, she cleaned it up and was very communicative. For my first experience letting someone besides friends watch my cats, 10/10, highly recommend Jillian!!”

“My pup Jax and I have been so blessed to have found Jennifer. I could tell from our meet and greet she is a “dog lover”. Love that Jennifer has been sending pics throughout the days as well as updates. I’m confident Jax has found his home away from home!!”
“Today was Rose’s first Daycare day with Sylvie. It went really well. She sent a lot of videos, pictures and updates. Rose is getting use to the new surroundings. Sylvie’s puppies were very friendly to Rose. Looking forward to our next visit.”
“I can't even put into words how happy and grateful I am to have found Erin. From our first drop off she made me feel totally comfortable. She sent many pics and videos throughout the day. She has great energy with all her pets and mine too. I know my baby is loved and well cared for in her home.”
About: I’m a caring and dependable pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, crate routines, and keeping pets company. I’m especially patient with puppies and energetic pets, and I pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m happy to provide regular updates and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently in school, so I have flexibility in my schedule for pet care, especially during the daytime, evenings, and weekends depending on my class schedule. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and provide consistent, reliable care rather than rushing through a visit. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, stay aware of my surroundings during walks, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I’ll maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and communicate with you if anything seems unusual. I treat every home and pet with the same respect I would want for my own.
“I was so happy to find someone that gave my pup all the love & attention!! Enzo looked so happy & I know he had a great time. Ana was great with communication & caring for my dog, we will definitely keep in her in mind for the future. Thank you again!!”
“Estefania was wonderful with Apple! This is the first time I used Rover.com and I am a 1000% satisfied client. Even though it was just a day care while I worked extended hours and needed to get some house cleaning done, I got lots of pics and videos, and Apple was very happy in the pics. Apple is a senior pup with partial blindness and diabetic(<2 years) so I wasn't sure how she would respond to a new environment. This is the first time I sent Apple to day camp in 4 years due to the pandemic and her health ailments, but as soon as I pulled into the driveway and saw the baby gate on the front porch to provide extra security, I felt very comfortable. Apple can have separation anxiety from Mom (me) at times so I knew she couldn't get past the front porch if she tried to run out. Estefania welcomed us into her home, and it's an extremely clean and safe residence for pups. Apple had so much fun! She worked up a good appetite and ate a full meal once she came back home. Because she's diabetic, she has a set feeding schedule to accommodate her insulin shots. I woke up for work this morning and heard Apple snoring and she had "Bed Head" hair. It was a great day camp visit and we're looking forward to coming back!! Thanks so much for taking care of Ms. Apple for the day :)”
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.
“Jennifer took excellent care of my Border Collie, Fiona. This was her second stay with Jennifer, and Fiona was thrilled when we got out of the truck to drop her off. I highly recommend Jennifer to care for anyone's dog.”
“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 Jillian, a dependable and attentive dog & cat lover (& any other 4 legged creature - shout out to gerbils) offering walks, drop-ins, and extended care. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away, and I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own. I’m active and love long walks, playtime, and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and always follow each pet’s routine and any special instructions closely.

Whether your dog needs a midday walk while you’re at work or care while you travel, I provide reliable, caring service and regular updates so you always know how your pup (or cat) is doing. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! Pet care fits easily into my routine since I work part-time from home. I typically work from 8:30 AM to 1:30pm on weekdays, but I’m often able to accommodate walks or quick drop-ins during that time if needed. My afternoons, evenings, and weekends are flexible, so I have plenty of time to focus on giving dogs and cats the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Since pets are often most comfortable in their own home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special preferences so your dog or cat feels relaxed and secure while you’re away. I’m very attentive to safety during walks and always keep dogs securely leashed and supervised. Because I have experience with an anxious dog of my own, I’m patient and sensitive to each dog’s personality and comfort level, helping them feel calm and comfortable in my care. I also treat every client’s home with the utmost respect and care. I’m mindful of keeping the space clean and secure, and I’m happy to help with small tasks while you’re away, such as bringing in mail, taking out the trash, or watering plants. You can also expect regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing.

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.

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 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.
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.
“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”

“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.”
“My stella had a nice time staying with them. I received text each day telling me how the night went. Even when I came to pick her up they were on a walk with her. I will use there service again.”
“Vader seemed happy & seems like he wouldn’t have minded staying longer with Kristen & her family. I will use her again 🐶🙌 I forgot his crate & his paw was injured before boarding, so she could’ve easily turned Vader away upon arrival & she went above the regular needs to accommodate him & care for him. Thank you Kristen.”
“Enas and her girls always take excellent care of Cara. They are very flexible when plans change; for example, a big storm was coming the day we planned to drop off Cara and leave for our trip, so we decided to leave early to get ahead of the storm, Enas was very accommodating & communication is always prompt. Cara loves staying here, and Enas always provides pictures throughout her stay, so I can see what a great time she is having. Enas is always top of my list for Cara’s “vacation spots.””
“This was my first time leaving my dog with someone. I was so happy that Ollie was happy. I didn’t feel stressed out about her while I was gone. Jennifer communicated every day with me and sent pictures. I am great full to her and her husband for taking care of Ollie for me! I will definitely use them again, and recommend them to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter!”
“Kurt Russell loves going to hang out with Alyssa and her family. She has been so great and we have no worries when we drop him off with her. She keeps us updated with pictures and messages. We really appreciate you. Thank you so much.”
“We boarded our dog a couple of times and always had a great experience with La Toya. Always quickly responds to requests, sends pictures everyday and updates. I highly recommend!”
“They treated our fur baby like one of their own. Very responsive and provided updates on his day. I found them as our normal sitter was unavailable, but they will definitely see Leo again!”
“Tami was friendly and professional. We felt very comfortable after meeting with her, her family and her dogs. She was very sweet to our golden retriever and attentive. She maintained regular connections with little messages and photos each day. Would love to use her again for a future stay.”
“We were pleased with our new pet sitter. Ana was kind, gentle,and caring to our senior dog, Buster. He was happy when we came home after our 5 day get away. We loved hearing from Ana and receiving pictures of Buster. Thank you, Ana”
“Really came through for me when I needed a sitter last minute. Kept me really well updated with pics and videos of my dog while in his care. My dog and his dog have gotten along great, really kept him entertained!”
“Marissa as able to fit my Thaddeus in last min and was willing to work with me. He enjoyed spending time there. She kept me posted. Her whole family was incredibly kind. I highly recommend. I plan to use their service when I’m back in the area.”
“Clarissa was so amazing with rotini! She went above and beyond to make sure he was eating well and having a great time. Her dog, Rue, was the perfect playmate for my dog. Would rebook with her anytime!”

“We were very happy with Diana and Brian. Diana sent many photos and videos so we could stay in touch with our pups. The pups seemed like they were having fun! We will definitely use them again. Thank you!”
“Kim and her family took such good care of our pups! She was extremely communicative throughout our weekend away, providing updates of all of their fun activities. When we picked our dogs up, they fell asleep on the car ride home - a true sign they had a great time.”
About: Hi! I'm a passionate dog lover with over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, and I've also had the pleasure of dog sitting for many friends over the years—sometimes for several weeks at a time. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and safe while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding,I'm dedicated to providing reliable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. Dog walking and boarding fit very well into my schedule. I work in the office from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM on weekdays, and I'm home for the rest of the day, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs in my care. During the few hours I'm away, your dog will have the companionship of my friendly, well-socialized dog, so they won't be alone. Once I'm home, I'll be available for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of attention to make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and cared for. I live in a gated community which is extremely secure. We also have numerous huge dog parks in the community but I would only take the dogs when it is just them in the dog park, safety is the priority!
“Erin was the best! She took such good care of Troy, sent updates with pictures of walks, cuddles and playtime. I could tell that Troy had a great time and was well taken care of. Definitely recommend!”
