As a first-time Rover user and a nervous dog mom, I was hesitant to leave Banjo with anyone, especially since we just adopted him from a shelter. However, Jenelle completely exceeded my expectations. She was incredibly thoughtful and even suggested a meet-and-greet before the stay to make sure Banjo would be comfortable. She showed such patience and care with him, especially since he’s a shy and nervous dog. Throughout our trip, Jenelle kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which really helped ease my worries. Banjo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had the best time with Jenelle and her own dogs. I think he was a little upset that we were taking him home because he had so much fun!! We’re so grateful for her wonderful care and will absolutely be leaving Banjo with her for all our future trips. Highly recommend!!

Melissa is amazing with Diggory. We feel so confident when we leave him. He loves to go and he comes back happy and well cared for. We love how she sends pictures and keeps him active. If he can’t be with us this is the place I’d want him to be. Thanks Melissa!

I like taking my dog (Millie) to Rachelle for overnight stay and for several nights’ stay. Rachelle is considerate and kind to us and my dog. She is caring. She updates us about our dog, sends pictures and asks our opinion about how our dog would react to the environment like in the case of a storm so she can attend to our dog appropriately. I feel confident that my dog is getting great care with Rachelle. I am also sure that my dog is having fun with Rachelle and her dog Rizzo. The last time I dropped off Millie at Rachelle’s house she was eager to enter the house that she literally dragged me towards the door.

About: I used to volunteer at an animal shelter, and I learned how to attentively take instructions when it came to the care of an animal. I have dealt with dogs and cats that have digestive issues, as well as knowing my way around taking care of (oral) medication. I am also used to dogs or cats that need daily exercise or some that are very energetic and need a lot of attention. Before moving to New Mexico, I had two dogs, and I was always keen on keeping them safe + well taken care of, but most importantly, checking that they were always happy and healthy. And I would be honored to take care of your pet in the same manner. Because I am searching for work, all of my time is dedicated to Rover at the moment. I am available every day of the week. I have a two bedroom apartment and two cats, so I cannot board any fur babies in my home unless you are absolutely sure they are okay around cats. On the other hand, I can guarantee that I will keep an eye on any pets I take care of in a client's home, as well as provide updates based on your preference!

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, I will treat your pet like family. I love dogs and want to help others find reliable care for their dogs. I work full time, however my hours and days are very flexible so I will have plenty of time to spoil your pets during the day, or overnight. I have a fenced in yard, I have one dog of my own who is the sweetest. I have space in my house to separate if needed for nap times, and plenty of toys and treats. They would be allowed on furniture as they would be treated like family.

About: I am an animal lover. I used to work at an animal shelter and now I work part time at PetSmart so I’m quite familiar with the needs for animals and I know the kind of care to provide for an animal. I have one adorable dog! A border collie and he gets along with everyone! Really looking forward to meeting your baby and will give them the best care and attention I can! Also have 2 little kids at home (2&4) that are used to dogs of all sizes! 🥰 &They love playing with dogs! All dogs I watch will get sent home with a little goodie! And if the dog isn’t too squirmy or aggressive I will even trim and grind their nails! 🥰 Usually accept 1-2 family’s at a time. So if your pet needs a little quieter household do let me know more so in advance so I can get no other bookings 😌 I work 2 days a month at petsmart. A stay at home mom of 2. So I’m almost always home, always enjoy a little bit more excitement in our day! I have a fenced in yard and a dog that would love to play outside with yours. If they love playing fetch my pup and kids love to throw the ball around to help keep everyone entertained for hours!

I had a wonderful experience with Ariel while she watched Gracie and Lucy for the weekend. She took excellent care of both my girls, kept me updated with messages and photos, and made sure they were happy, comfortable and well cared for. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my pups were in such good hands. I came home to two happy, relaxed dogs. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Ariel to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and trustworthy dog sitter.

About: I have own 4 dog over the years. I had them from pups to senior. Most of the time they are in the back yard but they were given love and plenty of attention. With the lose of my last dog I have decided not to own any more but take care of a ferret instead. They are just as much of a hand full as a dog is but smaller then a dog. I do still like dogs but with how thing are own a new one would be heart breaking if I lose it so I have decided to help dog owners with the care of their dog and rover is the platform that help matching me with dog owners that are looking some I work flexible hours. I am available at night during the week to look after pet at the clients home. I will also care for pet on the weekends if needed I prefer to take care of pets in there home environment because that is what the pet is use to. A new environment will make the pet not want to open up to someone new

About: I am a loving dog person. I'm playful and energetic as well as fit to fill your dog's needs. I'm experienced with taking care and training of family's dogs over 17 years. Also great with all types of dogs all breeds, and animals in general. I'm available throughout most times of the night or day. I'm fit and athletic to keep up or work out your dog if need be. I understand the variety and diversity in dog breeds, their energy, and behavior so I can work with them to keep them happy and healthy. Most new dogs I meet warm up to me in just a matter of minutes. I hope you can consider me to walk, play, care, and sit for your dog. If you think my prices are too low or high, we can talk about it and adjust/modify it for you. I currently have lots of time throughout the day to feed and care for your pet. I may have appts. coming up and will try to fit you in. Your pet will be in a safe environment under a watchful eye. I rarely meet any pets don't feel safe or do not like me.

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat pets as members of the family, not just animals I’m watching. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, including shy or nervous dogs who need extra patience to build trust. I’m attentive to details, follow routines closely, and understand how important consistency is for a pet’s comfort and well-being. Because I care for my own dogs daily, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels and communicating concerns promptly. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also respecting each pet’s individual needs and boundaries. My goal is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owners are away, and for owners to have peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving personalized care. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have two dogs, so I’m used to feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, monitoring behavior, and making sure they get plenty of attention throughout the day. I also stay on top of things like cleaning up after them, maintaining their routine, and watching for any signs that something might be off. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so fitting pet care into my day feels very natural. In my home, pets are treated like family. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and playtime. I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment where pets receive plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. I closely monitor their behavior, appetite, and energy levels and will follow any instructions regarding medications, dietary needs, or special care. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while they are in my care.

About: My friends and family call me the pet whisperer. Or, "even your pets listen to you" I have a great understanding of animals, and a natural love and care for their well being. I began babysitting and pet sitting at age 11, including horses! Have always been a caretaker type, including being a full time nanny, also taking care of their animals-dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, guinea pigs. Available on weekends and partial Mon and Fridays. Flexible, long term, or short term last minute welcome. Home most of the time on the weekends except for short errands, as our house is centrally located, close to shopping, yet not directly on a busy street. Like a relaxing vacation for your loved one while you are away. Our pets are part of the family and enjoy many benefits of our house. Plenty of playing and lounging room for all! We have a living room, rec room and screened in porch, for warmer weather, all with dog friendly furniture and lots of windows for plenty of comfy napping. lounging, squirrel watching...with a dog entry door to the large fenced in yard and deck through the kitchen. My musically talented teenager will play lots of nice music on his piano and ukulele as well as run around the yard with the dogs, and there is a park within walking distance from our house if more exploration is desired! We have one chocolate lab who is very friendly and social, and loves company!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I could walk. Pets have always been an addition in my family. I have also pet sat for friends and family when they have needed. To me, pets are family and I have always taken care of them like that. When I'm trusted to take care of someones pet, I treat them like their baby. We have 3.5 acres of farm and woodland. 1 acres is wooded and we have a trail and creek to play in. If things get too messy, we can always rinse off in the hose. I have a lead out back, but if your dog doesn't need it great! If your dog requires a little more, I have a fenced in area behind the barn that we can venture to as well. I live on a private drive, so not a lot of traffic and its nice and peaceful. I work 8-4 Monday through Friday. I live 20 minutes away and usually come home on my lunch break at 12 to let my dogs out and to let them run and play. I wake up early to take care of my chickens and ducks and let my dogs run around for about 30 minutes outside. With other dogs, we might wake up a little earlier and go on a trail or just walk up and down the road(.5miles) maybe more if needed. We then come inside and eat and drink and they are usually ready to go back to bed by the time I leave for work. On my days off we are outside constantly. If your dog is an introvert or loves ac, we do also let our dogs on the furniture for extra lounging. 🤣 At night we do a bit more outside since we make our rounds to make sure the birds are safe and fed and maybe another walk in the woods. Before bed, we do tick checks just in case! I care for all pets like my own and all pets have the same freedoms as my fur babies(unless specified so your doggo doesn't come home with any habits you don't want them to have). I have blankets on my couches and dog beds all over the house.

About: Finding the right sitter matters — especially when your dog needs more than just a walk and a bowl refill. That’s where I come in. I have over 15 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs and behaviorally challenging cases, I’ve cared for and handled dogs with a wide range of needs. My background includes extensive volunteer work at animal shelters, where I gained valuable experience reading canine body language, managing stress, and working safely with dogs that require extra patience and structure. In 2021, I earned my Certified Dog Trainer credential through Animal Behavior College, and I continue my education through Leerburg University, focusing on canine behavior, handling, and communication. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach — every dog is different, and I tailor my care to what helps your dog feel safe, calm, and confident. If you’ve been told your dog is “too difficult” or “too much” for most sitters, I encourage you to reach out. I have experience with reactive, anxious, high-drive, and medically complex dogs, including administering medications and injections when needed. My goal is not just to watch your dog, but to advocate for them while you’re away. For safety and individualized care, I only accept one family of dogs at a time. This allows me to focus fully on your dog’s routine, comfort, and well-being — no overcrowding, no chaos. I’d love to schedule a meet & greet so we can make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. You’ll leave knowing your dog is in capable, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring hands. Thanks for stopping by my profile — I look forward to meeting you and your best friend soon. I'm hoping to make canine boarding/training my new job. I still work full time in a hybrid remote role. I will only accept boarding reservations where I know I will be home. I prefer to exercise dogs by walking them, but will do anything to keep your friends on their own routine. Anything you can share with me about your dogs preferred routine will help me keep their schedule as normal as possible.

About: I have had my own dogs my whole life. Since being married in 1994 we have had 2-3 dogs at a time. We currently have two sweet dogs. One is a toy Berniedoodle and the other is a lab/bordercollie. I am the one in our family that does the puppy training. I am a retired school teacher. I am home most days unless I have errands to run. I love to take our dogs for walks. I have two friendly dogs. One of our dogs is very playful. The other is shy at first but warms up. They are crate trained at night. We have a dog door so our dogs go in and out all day. We have an extra crate if needed. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture for snuggles.

About: I am a Certified Pet Sitter-Dog Walker and insured and bonded. I've been taking care of animals most of my life. I've worked with animal shelters and transport teams to help get dogs to their forever home. My schedule is flexible, and I would love to fill my free time with caring for your pets. I know we all have busy schedules and sometimes are unable to give our pets our full attention. I'd like to help you with that so your pet can get all the attention they deserve. <3 Making sure your pets stay happy, healthy and safe in my care is my number one priority. When it comes to working in a client's home, I am always respectful of their house rules and routines.

About: I grew up on a farm taking care of all sorts of animals including my dog. I love anything from energetic runners to gentle giants. I'm working online setting my own schedule, so I can make time whenever needed! The only time I'm unavailable would be Sunday mornings. I give lots of love to pets, often choosing to sit on the floor where they can reach me. I'm very careful about watching for animals scratching where they shouldn't be.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands on experience caring for pups of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I currently have two amazing dogs of my own. Khloe is a resilient 11 year old that has overcome major medical challenges, including a leg amputation and daily medication routines, and Oakley is an energetic 2 year old who keeps life exciting! Because of my own dogs, I’m no stranger to giving medication (including injections), working with limited mobility or vision, and supporting senior pets with the extra care they need. Whether your dog is a bouncing puppy or a gentle senior, I’ll treat them like family with playtime and plenty of belly rubs. I’d love to help care for your furry friend while you’re away! I work second shift, so I’m available in the mornings and early afternoons to care for your pet! I also live very close to work and am able to run home on breaks to see my dogs. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make sure every dog gets the exercise and fresh air they need with daily walks, just like I do with my own pups. For dogs with limited mobility or who tire easily, I even have a wagon that I use to wheel them around so they can still enjoy the outdoors safely and comfortably, something I do often for my senior, three-legged dog. Inside my home, I provide a calm, structured environment. I have two crates available and can accommodate both crate trained dogs and those who prefer to free roam. I always take the time to understand each dog’s routine and personality so I can tailor their care, whether that’s sticking to a medication schedule, providing quiet time, or making sure they have plenty of play and affection. In a client’s home, I aim to follow your routines as closely as possible to keep your pup comfortable and stress free while you’re away. My top priority is always the safety, happiness, and well-being of your dog.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover since I was little. Throughout college I have done all sorts of pet/house sitting for friends, family, coworkers etc. I have house sat for a family friend that required feeding and watering horses, milking goats, reptile care, rabbit cleaning care, medicating cats/dogs if needed, you name it. I currently have a Corn Snake, a Western Plains Hognose Snake as well as a Crested Gecko. I have been a Veterinary Receptionist for over 5 and a half years now. I was also an Animal Keeper for about a year with native Illinois Wildlife (including black bears, cougars & bobcats). I am currently transitioning to being a Veterinary Assistant so I am gaining new skills weekly! Currently working a max of 30 hours at my day job as a Veterinary Assistant but recently have been working less. Typically I have Sundays and Wednesdays off during the week but sometimes get another random week day off depending on how busy we are at the clinic. My shifts can vary from 8am to 2pm; 8am to 4pm; 9am to 3pm; 9am to 5pm or even 8am to 6:30pm. The earlier I’m off during the day I am able to help after that too. Your home is their home. I will cater to your pet based on what they like or need. If they just need someone to keep them company I’m there. I will treat your space with respect and follow any instructions given. My pets are family and are treated as such so the same would go for your kiddos.

About: I am a 4th grade teacher with summers off. I have a passion for walking and dogs. So this is perfect for me! I walk my 90 lb chocolate lab (quite energetic and happy) miles everyday around the neighborhood and hiking trails. He is a pretty reactive dog (all love) so I am skilled in knowing what a dog needs and how they are reacting to the external variables on a walk, and how to react to that. I would love to meet you and your animal best friend! I have the summer off, so I am available this summer. Once school gets back in session, weekend care would also be something I am interested in. I am mainly available for dog walking and/or taking care of your animal in your home. I have helped raise 3 puppies (now big dogs) throughout the past 8 years. I am very well aware of what the animal may need and how to react to that.

I have pet sat for multiple families who have always returned to tidy homes and happy pets. As someone who has had the privilege of loving many animals, big and small (snakes, lizards, geckos, cat, hamsters), I understand the importance of your pet.

Currently I watch my family’s bird when they travel and keep him in a Separate room and the cats know to keep out as well as safety precautions I take to keep everyone safe.

About: Hello! I am very passionate about dogs and will provide loving, patient care while you are away from home. I have fostered many puppies and adult dogs in my home through a dog rescue in California for 5 years, and continue to do the online work for that rescue from my home in Illinois. I have two fur babies of my own Espresso and Lucy, and our two cats mostly hang out in whatever room the dogs are not in :) We have a secure, fenced backyard with room to run. Dog cuddling and treats are a staple here, as well as walks, frequent potty breaks and playing with toys! My six year old daughter loves dogs but also respects boundaries and will leave them alone if they don’t want attention. I am prompt, professional and respond to texts/calls in a timely manner. Please contact me if you have any questions! I am a stay at home mom attending school online, so frequent potty breaks, cuddles and playtime are constantly available to them, or whatever else they might need. I have a fenced in yard and ample room to get the zoomies out. Dogs are welcome on the couch and I have a few dog beds available too.

As a first-time Rover user and a nervous dog mom, I was hesitant to leave Banjo with anyone, especially since we just adopted him from a shelter. However, Jenelle completely exceeded my expectations. She was incredibly thoughtful and even suggested a meet-and-greet before the stay to make sure Banjo would be comfortable. She showed such patience and care with him, especially since he’s a shy and nervous dog. Throughout our trip, Jenelle kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which really helped ease my worries. Banjo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had the best time with Jenelle and her own dogs. I think he was a little upset that we were taking him home because he had so much fun!! We’re so grateful for her wonderful care and will absolutely be leaving Banjo with her for all our future trips. Highly recommend!!

Diana took great care of Maggie. And she was willing to work with me when I extended my vacation. Loved the pictures she sent to ease my mind about leaving Maggie for eight days! I will definitely ask for her help again!

Sarah was a great dog sitter. She was easy to work with and my dog loved being there. She sent photos and let me know how things were going while we were away. I highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs.

I like taking my dog (Millie) to Rachelle for overnight stay and for several nights’ stay. Rachelle is considerate and kind to us and my dog. She is caring. She updates us about our dog, sends pictures and asks our opinion about how our dog would react to the environment like in the case of a storm so she can attend to our dog appropriately. I feel confident that my dog is getting great care with Rachelle. I am also sure that my dog is having fun with Rachelle and her dog Rizzo. The last time I dropped off Millie at Rachelle’s house she was eager to enter the house that she literally dragged me towards the door.

Faith did an excellent job taking care of my two dogs! She gave frequent updates and provided many pictures of them having a fun time. She offered some job observations of their behaviors and provided constructive recommendations. I plan on utilizing her again for dog sitting services.

Wonderful and so friendly! Wrigley felt very at home here, Hector made him feel comfortable and not alone. It was our first time trying this service and we are beyond amazed with Hector’s hospitality, constant care, and daily updates! He provided pictures through out the day, genuinely listened to us, and ask questions to better help him really understand Wrigley and his needs. Would definitely rebook no questions asked!

About: I used to volunteer at an animal shelter, and I learned how to attentively take instructions when it came to the care of an animal. I have dealt with dogs and cats that have digestive issues, as well as knowing my way around taking care of (oral) medication. I am also used to dogs or cats that need daily exercise or some that are very energetic and need a lot of attention. Before moving to New Mexico, I had two dogs, and I was always keen on keeping them safe + well taken care of, but most importantly, checking that they were always happy and healthy. And I would be honored to take care of your pet in the same manner. Because I am searching for work, all of my time is dedicated to Rover at the moment. I am available every day of the week. I have a two bedroom apartment and two cats, so I cannot board any fur babies in my home unless you are absolutely sure they are okay around cats. On the other hand, I can guarantee that I will keep an eye on any pets I take care of in a client's home, as well as provide updates based on your preference!

Lola and her family did a great job caring for Josie. She was honest, and so sweet and gentle with my furbaby. I appreciate she was flexible with a meet and greet prior to boarding. I highly recommend Lola. Convenient, reasonable and very honest.

Having peace of mind knowing your little family is always ok when you’re needing someone who knows what you need for you to be able to leave and never have a second thought about they’re safety and comfort is important and number 1 to all those involved and invested in your life that’s important!!

Alyssa was very nice and took care of our high energy husky mix (Jayda) while we were away. This was the first time having someone watch her other than my sister (who was the foster mom we got her from). Alyssa had several playmates that Jayda got along with and got to play a lot. She also found some new treats for us to try with Jayda. We got Jayda home and she seems tuckered out. Which is good. :-)

About: Finding the right sitter matters — especially when your dog needs more than just a walk and a bowl refill. That’s where I come in. I have over 15 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs and behaviorally challenging cases, I’ve cared for and handled dogs with a wide range of needs. My background includes extensive volunteer work at animal shelters, where I gained valuable experience reading canine body language, managing stress, and working safely with dogs that require extra patience and structure. In 2021, I earned my Certified Dog Trainer credential through Animal Behavior College, and I continue my education through Leerburg University, focusing on canine behavior, handling, and communication. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach — every dog is different, and I tailor my care to what helps your dog feel safe, calm, and confident. If you’ve been told your dog is “too difficult” or “too much” for most sitters, I encourage you to reach out. I have experience with reactive, anxious, high-drive, and medically complex dogs, including administering medications and injections when needed. My goal is not just to watch your dog, but to advocate for them while you’re away. For safety and individualized care, I only accept one family of dogs at a time. This allows me to focus fully on your dog’s routine, comfort, and well-being — no overcrowding, no chaos. I’d love to schedule a meet & greet so we can make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. You’ll leave knowing your dog is in capable, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring hands. Thanks for stopping by my profile — I look forward to meeting you and your best friend soon. I'm hoping to make canine boarding/training my new job. I still work full time in a hybrid remote role. I will only accept boarding reservations where I know I will be home. I prefer to exercise dogs by walking them, but will do anything to keep your friends on their own routine. Anything you can share with me about your dogs preferred routine will help me keep their schedule as normal as possible.

Merry and Tucker love Cato come to Kayla’s home. They out of the car and head directly for the front door. Merry even had a fury friend for the last visit. They played until exhausted. Great time for our high energy girl. Our old boy was able to get plenty of rest. Kayla always ensures Ricker gets her medication. Both come home happy, and relaxed!! Thank you again Kayla
