“I do not have enough words to say how incredible Jessica was with my anxious corgi, Nugget! She was so attentive to his command words, what makes him nervous/comfortable and she even thought of things I hadn’t considered to make him feel comfortable there. She most definitely treated him like her own and he absolutely adores her! (And he is not fond of many people) she was wonderful about sending updates and keeping us connected while we were away. My sweet little boy absolutely loves her and we will be coming back soon!”
“Melissa and her husband did a great job with our two large high energy Labs. Even while going through some tuff family times she still found time to provide updates and pictures. Thanks for your service.”
“Janey takes good care of my dog Lucy. She is very attentive. She takes her for walks. Lucyenjoys playing with her children and especially with her dog Koko. She sends pictures and communicates well. I never worry when I have to leave her with Jenay. My mind is at ease.”
“Matt was an exceptional sitter for my fur baby Willow. Prior to the boarding, he recommended a Meet & Greet. Willow immediately went into his home and began socializing with him. He provided daily updates and the pictures of her bonding with his family.. She waa at home sleeping over with his daughter and relaxing with him in a lounger. I would definitely board Willow again with Matt and his family.”
“Starr is absolutely the best. She is caring and compassionate. Sends lots of pictures which is very reassuring. Starr and her children gave our Winston lots of loving. We will be using her for all of our future sitter needs.”
“Memphis loved her boarding experience with Aurora! I was sent with pictures, videos, and updates throughout the stay which was greatly appreciated. We will definitely be booking with Aurora again!”
“Bianca was a wonderful host on a short notice trip. She took great care of my 5 month old goldendoodle and gave me updates throughout the visit. Her dogs also got along well with mine and I think they became good buddies. Thanks, Bianca!”
About: I can do it all from big breeds, to small breeds; from happy breeds, to sad breeds. I’ve also got experience in tending to aggressive animals or animals who react out of fear so don’t worry! Growing up, I had an aggressive pup who people refused to come around and it made things hard on me, I want to give ALL pet parents a chance to feel safe knowing their aggressive or reactive dog is in good hands. I know the do’s and the don’t’s! Animals are a passion and if I could have every animal in the world, I would! Give me a shot to take care of your baby and you won’t regret it! I’m an active duty military member, but I work in a 24hr shop so my schedule shifts a lot. However, that is no issue for me as long as I have a heads up from my clients! I will work with them to create a schedule that best suits both me and the animals! Your animal is now a priority of mine(: I have a 6” vinyl privacy fence with a very large backyard. I have 3 dogs of my own and can accommodate some animals in my home. However, I will need to have your animals formally meet mine before making that decision so that we don’t put anyone in harms way. I will also request an updated shot record for any animals entering my home and will provide you with the same(:
“Jessica was able to help us out after our original plans fell through last minute. She was incredibly kind and welcoming. I received daily updates and felt like my dogs were in excellent hands while I was on vacation. Absolutely would book with her again and recommend her!”
“I am so glad we found Kelley. She took great care of our Saffy and I can tell she was well loved while we were gone. It was great to get pictures from her and see the fun Saffy was having.”
“Loya was great watching our dog while we were on vacation! Milo has a separation anxiety, she took good care of him and spoil him. She sends us pictures and video daily. Will definitely ask her again to watch Milo!”
“Very great experience. My puppy loved being there. She was able to accommodate my super random fluid schedule and was able to watch my puppy for me. Will definitely be using Nicole again!! Kept me updated as well on Bane and how he was doing.”
About: I’ve had pups of my own my whole life. I love all animals and want to make sure your other half is cared for! I work five days a week but I am allotted an hour everyday at lunch to go provide care to your furry friend! After work I will be able to let them out and get them out for exercise ! I always ensure that the animals care is met based on their specific needs, walks are very important and making sure they have ample time to get their energy out.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have cared for pups from their playful puppy stages all the way through their senior years. Because of that, I’m comfortable with all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like my own. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, a calming presence, or gentle senior support, I’ve got them covered. I work night shift, which means my days are completely free for pet care. I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, dropins, and giving your pet lots of attention. In my home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe right away. I keep their routine consistent, give lots of attention, playtime, and regular potty breaks to keep them relaxed and happy.
“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter! She accepted a last minute booking for our two dogs and kept us updated throughout the whole time we were gone. Our dogs were very well taken care of and we will certainly be boarding with Stephanie again!”
About: With years of experience in high-end dog training, sitting, and walking, I offer more than just pet care—I provide expert, personalized attention for your dog. I understand canine behavior on a deep level, ensuring your pup feels safe, engaged, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s reinforcing good manners, going on structured walks, or providing calm companionship, I treat every dog like my own. I currently work from home with a flex work schedule, which makes me available for pet care anytime. I can work my schedule to be tailored to your pets needs. I have a large back yard and dogs of my own to keep your fur baby company. For walks, I tailor each to your fur baby’s needs, spending more time outside with high energy dogs, and taking shorter walks for older pets. All walks and care come with the most snuggles.
“My dog can be a handful sometimes and Laura was able to tame him. It’s clear that she’s a huge pet lover because she didn’t want to leave her home for any extended amount of time due to my dog having separation anxiety. She also provided me with photos, videos, and updates on how things were going.”
“Morgan was absolutely great. My girls had so much fun with her! The whole process was so easy and seamless. I got lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay which gave me peace of mind, although they were having so much fun it didn’t look like the missed me at all. Highly recommend Morgan!!”

“Andy was a fantastic host to my cats over the holiday break! Very communicative and kind, and was super helpful with remaining flexible to my changing travel plans. Highly recommend.”
“It's great having Mallory look after my kitty! She's excellent with his care and needs, and makes me not worry about my little guy while I'm away which I really appreciate. 😺”
“Always leaves a thorough assessment of interactions with our cats, and anything noticed throughout the house/about their care. We really appreciate that Melissa likes our cats and makes sure they're doing their best”
“Amber is amazing! I truly cannot thank her enough for how great she was taking care of my cat, Beans. He was pretty stressed when I left for vacation for a week and he wasn’t eating. After a few days, Amber took him to the vet and got him the care he needed. She is excellent with updates and communication. You can tell how much she cares. She really goes above and beyond expectations. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future and recommending her!”
“Sterling was great! He always showed up within the given time window and gave my baby some love. I really appreciated the notes and pictures he’d leave on the Rover Card as well. Seeing that my kitty was being sociable and playing with his toys made me very happy. Also, I noticed in one of the pictures that Sterling took his shoes off in the house. I appreciated that SO MUCH because we are a shoes-off home to keep the floors clean. This booking was made because of a trip that was made on short notice, so Sterling being very easy to get in touch with made everything easy and worry-free. He was very personable and clearly knowledgeable about cats, so I felt safe leaving my furry baby with him. I would definitely recommend booking Sterling and I will be booking him again in the future! Thanks again!”
“Emily was wonderful!! This was our first time leaving Ricky (a cat) home alone. I was worried he would be lonely or upset when we returned. He was happy everyday to see Emily and she sent me some great photos that captured Ricky's personality . Ricky was happy to see us and waiting by the back door to greet us when we got home. I highly recommend Emily she is a sweetheart!”

I’m excited to take time and do things i enjoy, including caring for pets 🐶🐱 I have a fenced backyard and two pups who are the sweetest little fur balls ever. I have three cats who live like kings (and queens) inside, who stay out of the dogs way and watch from their perch as the doggos do their things. I never want my animals to feel bored so i keep an abundance of perches, toys, beds, and even the television for them to access all day.
“Mason was top notch care ! He did one drop in and one walk at my home each day I was gone and everything was perfect. My dog was happy, the house was good, he sent lots of pics and was extremely communicative. Would love to have him watch / walk Ozzy again and would highly recommend him to other pet owners!!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life! I have gotten into pet sitting more this last year and people have trusted me to stay with their animals for a week or more at a time! I love helping others who needs someone to care for their pet while they are busy. I have very open availability throughout all days of the week so I am able to visit and care for animals as frequent or as long as you would like! In my clients home I always care for their pet using the instructions they give me. I can walk them as often as you’d like and feed them on a certain schedule if needed. My biggest concern is making sure my clients feel comfortable about leaving me with their pets.
“Rachel was fantastic with my two cats! It was our first time leaving them for such a long time and she sent great pictures with helpful comments that let us know they were doing. I would absolutely recommend her!!”
About: Hi! My name is Nikki and I’ve lived with dogs and cats since I was a toddler. I always loved helping my parents and grandma with our many pets while growing up, but it wasn’t until I graduated high school that I decided to start expanding to pet-sitting for my friends as well! I was always happy to spend time with and gain knowledge from their furry friends. Two years after high school, I adopted a sweet husky puppy. He was just 8 weeks old when I took him home and I quickly realized raising a puppy is A LOT of work (but worth it!!). After a long journey of trial and error and 4 training classes together, he’s the best friend I could ask for. Three years later my dad rescued 3 more husky puppies, who I also helped raise! They have definitely taught me patience, how to deal with a semi-reactive dogs, and has made me confident in my ability to care for large breeds. I’ve looked after a variety of breeds, big and small, timid and reactive. I’m experienced in handling high energy dogs, young puppies who are still learning, and older dogs who need extra care and patience. I’ve also looked after cats, including those that needed help with medications and asthma treatment. Whether your pets like to walk and play or just need someone to hangout with while you’re gone, I can do it all. I will care for your beloved pets in your home and follow all your wants and needs! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I’m currently available any time Wednesday-Friday and on most Saturdays. I like to know all the details about your pets every day life so I can help keep their routines as normal as possible. Whether that includes certain times for feeding, walking, medications, etc. I also like to know if they are reactive, timid, or have any other quirks you want me to know about!
“Gabby took care of my bunny for a full 10 days on pretty short notice. She came over before to meet him and she was very sweet, I could tell we would be in good hands. She was very respectful and definitely treated the bun very well.”

“We love taking Belle to Melissa. We feel she is safe with her and her family. I’m so happy I found Melissa and Belle has a great relationship. Belle moved from a different part of Illinois where she was the neighborhood dog and everyone’s friend. Melissa’s service has eased our minds and we are greatly appreciative. Thank you Melissa!”

About: For years my neighbors have relied on me to take care of their four dogs when they are away for weekend trips or even for trips that last over 2 months. Each one had their own personality and I was able to adapt to it and get along with them well. Over the years I have also had my own pets and have taken care of others. I have taken care of animals from cats, snakes, guinea pigs and most of all dogs. I am patient and contempt with taking care of dogs. In all, I've had a lot of experience with animals! I adore animals all the like and have had the best experiences taking care of lovely pets. I'm a part time worker but that's only on the weekends as I have night school. That leaves me plenty of time in the day during the week and weekends to check on your fur babies. I will be able to drop in later at night at around 9:30-11 p.m. If ever in emergencies, I have a fenced yard that is very very roomy for a dog who loves to run around and play outside. I am more than happy to drop into the clients home and even help clean and pick up after the place for comfortable living for their fur baby. I don't make messes and will no matter what pick up after myself. I will always address to the client in emergencies.

About: While my specialty is cats, I've also had a bit of experience with taking care of dogs. I recently started voulnteering at a local shelter to gain a bit more experience. I've also done some dog sitting for friends and neighbors. Currently, I don't have a traditional job so my schedule is super flexible. I'd be happy to take care of your fur babies any day of the week. I understand that cats have wildly different personalities and will do my best to make them feel comfortable while I'm around. I will spend time with them in whatever way they prefer, whether that's playing, petting or just existing quietly in the same space. With cats especially I do my best to be a calm and quiet presence and unless I have to give them medication or something where I have to get in their personal space, I usually let them come to me to reduce the risk of stressing them out.
About: I have been taking care of dogs and watching dogs and cats for family, friends, or on Trusted House sitters for about 10 years now. I’m a reptile owner so I also have experience with lizards.

I like to update where I am at depending on where I currently am staying. However during the weekdays and work schedule I am available at any time from 4-10 pm. During weekends I am available all day up until 10 pm. On vacation days if I am in your area I will be available all day! I follow any care instructions down to the letter, including offering daily walks, multiple times a day if needed. I am very open about communicating on any questions I have and I’m a very quick responder with calls and texts. I like to send updates every day or even every few hours. I give pets all the love and attention and care they require! Also if I am house sitting for you I prefer to keep your place just as clean as you left it.

“If I could give more than five stars I would! What a great sitter! Dependable, available, and so professional. Emily is my go-to. And my doggies found a new favorite person ❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I can play with them, pick up after them, bathe them and make sure they’re happy and well fed. And I can take the dog on short or long walks and make sure they’re happy and safe. Also for house sitting I’ll make sure the house is clean and any messes the dog makes is cleaned up as well I’m a student at an online university, but I am taking a break from perusing my BS in forensic accounting. So I have plenty of time to watch your pets. I have two dogs that I take care of with my family. And they are well cared for and I play with them throughout the day and feed them when they need to be fed.
About: Hi! My name is Nikki and I’ve lived with dogs and cats since I was a toddler. I always loved helping my parents and grandma with our many pets while growing up, but it wasn’t until I graduated high school that I decided to start expanding to pet-sitting for my friends as well! I was always happy to spend time with and gain knowledge from their furry friends. Two years after high school, I adopted a sweet husky puppy. He was just 8 weeks old when I took him home and I quickly realized raising a puppy is A LOT of work (but worth it!!). After a long journey of trial and error and 4 training classes together, he’s the best friend I could ask for. Three years later my dad rescued 3 more husky puppies, who I also helped raise! They have definitely taught me patience, how to deal with a semi-reactive dogs, and has made me confident in my ability to care for large breeds. I’ve looked after a variety of breeds, big and small, timid and reactive. I’m experienced in handling high energy dogs, young puppies who are still learning, and older dogs who need extra care and patience. I’ve also looked after cats, including those that needed help with medications and asthma treatment. Whether your pets like to walk and play or just need someone to hangout with while you’re gone, I can do it all. I will care for your beloved pets in your home and follow all your wants and needs! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I’m currently available any time Wednesday-Friday and on most Saturdays. I like to know all the details about your pets every day life so I can help keep their routines as normal as possible. Whether that includes certain times for feeding, walking, medications, etc. I also like to know if they are reactive, timid, or have any other quirks you want me to know about!
About: I’ve stayed overnight with 4 dogs for 3 nights a few years back. I also own 2 cats (8 and almost 1) so i’ve experienced kitten energy recently. I work part time so I could pop in before and after my short shift! I can also spend the night for a few days. I think it’s important to trust their body language before anything else. I totally love petting and playing with animals but only when they approve of it.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have cared for pups from their playful puppy stages all the way through their senior years. Because of that, I’m comfortable with all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like my own. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, a calming presence, or gentle senior support, I’ve got them covered. I work night shift, which means my days are completely free for pet care. I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, dropins, and giving your pet lots of attention. In my home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe right away. I keep their routine consistent, give lots of attention, playtime, and regular potty breaks to keep them relaxed and happy.
“Sterling was polite, professional and a blessing to all of us (pups included) as I recovered from surgery and could not walk my babies. Always prompt, we received timely communication throughout his period of service. We will definitely request Sterling again. My girls will miss him!”
“I cannot recommend Matthew enough for his exceptional care and attention to detail when it comes to taking care of furry friends. Knowing that your beloved pet is being looked after with such love and care allows you to enjoy your time away without worry. I loved the pics provided and updates. He really made him feel loved and part of his family while dropping in.”
About: I was raised around pets of every kind and fell in love with them all! I’ve been taking care of dogs especially since I was 12. I’m the go to for all my friends and family to walk and care for their dogs and cats. My house has the best doggie sleepovers! I hope I can be your go to for all pet needs as well. I’m at home full time. So I have a flexible schedule for walks, and check-ins. And if your pup stays over they will get plenty of attention! My pets are like family and while your fur baby is in my care they become family too. They will be showered with love and attention and lots of cuddles! Each animal is different, so I’ll be sure to accommodate to their play style and preferences to keep those tails wagging!
“Amazing experience. Gabby was a very easy going and cared well for our dogs. She is a professional and I highly recommend her. Once you meet her, your mind will be at ease knowing your pets and safe and sound in her care. Great communications throughout the experience. 100% recommend and will call on her again!”

“I do not have enough words to say how incredible Jessica was with my anxious corgi, Nugget! She was so attentive to his command words, what makes him nervous/comfortable and she even thought of things I hadn’t considered to make him feel comfortable there. She most definitely treated him like her own and he absolutely adores her! (And he is not fond of many people) she was wonderful about sending updates and keeping us connected while we were away. My sweet little boy absolutely loves her and we will be coming back soon!”
“Melissa and her husband did a great job with our two large high energy Labs. Even while going through some tuff family times she still found time to provide updates and pictures. Thanks for your service.”
“Janey takes good care of my dog Lucy. She is very attentive. She takes her for walks. Lucyenjoys playing with her children and especially with her dog Koko. She sends pictures and communicates well. I never worry when I have to leave her with Jenay. My mind is at ease.”
“Matt was an exceptional sitter for my fur baby Willow. Prior to the boarding, he recommended a Meet & Greet. Willow immediately went into his home and began socializing with him. He provided daily updates and the pictures of her bonding with his family.. She waa at home sleeping over with his daughter and relaxing with him in a lounger. I would definitely board Willow again with Matt and his family.”
“Memphis loved her boarding experience with Aurora! I was sent with pictures, videos, and updates throughout the stay which was greatly appreciated. We will definitely be booking with Aurora again!”
About: I can do it all from big breeds, to small breeds; from happy breeds, to sad breeds. I’ve also got experience in tending to aggressive animals or animals who react out of fear so don’t worry! Growing up, I had an aggressive pup who people refused to come around and it made things hard on me, I want to give ALL pet parents a chance to feel safe knowing their aggressive or reactive dog is in good hands. I know the do’s and the don’t’s! Animals are a passion and if I could have every animal in the world, I would! Give me a shot to take care of your baby and you won’t regret it! I’m an active duty military member, but I work in a 24hr shop so my schedule shifts a lot. However, that is no issue for me as long as I have a heads up from my clients! I will work with them to create a schedule that best suits both me and the animals! Your animal is now a priority of mine(: I have a 6” vinyl privacy fence with a very large backyard. I have 3 dogs of my own and can accommodate some animals in my home. However, I will need to have your animals formally meet mine before making that decision so that we don’t put anyone in harms way. I will also request an updated shot record for any animals entering my home and will provide you with the same(:
“Jessica was able to help us out after our original plans fell through last minute. She was incredibly kind and welcoming. I received daily updates and felt like my dogs were in excellent hands while I was on vacation. Absolutely would book with her again and recommend her!”
“Loya was great watching our dog while we were on vacation! Milo has a separation anxiety, she took good care of him and spoil him. She sends us pictures and video daily. Will definitely ask her again to watch Milo!”
“Very great experience. My puppy loved being there. She was able to accommodate my super random fluid schedule and was able to watch my puppy for me. Will definitely be using Nicole again!! Kept me updated as well on Bane and how he was doing.”
About: I’ve had pups of my own my whole life. I love all animals and want to make sure your other half is cared for! I work five days a week but I am allotted an hour everyday at lunch to go provide care to your furry friend! After work I will be able to let them out and get them out for exercise ! I always ensure that the animals care is met based on their specific needs, walks are very important and making sure they have ample time to get their energy out.

“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter! She accepted a last minute booking for our two dogs and kept us updated throughout the whole time we were gone. Our dogs were very well taken care of and we will certainly be boarding with Stephanie again!”

I have a large back yard and dogs of my own to keep your fur baby company. For walks, I tailor each to your fur baby’s needs, spending more time outside with high energy dogs, and taking shorter walks for older pets. All walks and care come with the most snuggles.
“My dog can be a handful sometimes and Laura was able to tame him. It’s clear that she’s a huge pet lover because she didn’t want to leave her home for any extended amount of time due to my dog having separation anxiety. She also provided me with photos, videos, and updates on how things were going.”
“Morgan was absolutely great. My girls had so much fun with her! The whole process was so easy and seamless. I got lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay which gave me peace of mind, although they were having so much fun it didn’t look like the missed me at all. Highly recommend Morgan!!”
“Alex and her family were amazing! She was extremely easy to work with and communicate with. I was almost afraid Cooper would want to stay with them after his two week visit. Photos came regularly. Honestly, she was the best and only rover sitter we will ever use again! Thank you, Alex!”
“Jamie and Aaron are awesome! They offered a meet-and-greet a few days before our pup's visit, giving us a chance to meet them, their two dogs, and cats. From the moment you meet them, you can tell they really love animals and want to make each of their "guests" feel safe and at home. In fact, I think Row felt so at home at Jamie and Aaron's, he would have been happy to move in! Jamie kept us updated and sent pictures and videos throughout our trip - it was so fun to see him playing with their pups and snuggling in with them on the couch. We'll gladly book another stay with Jamie and Aaron!”
“Ashley was great with our little Yorkie and our little guy enjoyed playing with Ashley's sweet Iris. We received frequent photos and video updates. We were able to relax knowing that our dog was in good hands.”
