“Leaving your pet with someone you don’t know is hard but when I first met Jackie I knew she would be a good match for us and our dog Ivy. We loved the videos and pictures and according to her young son we need to bring her back. ?”
“We can't say enough good things about Jackie and her family! Frank and Homer were in the best hands while we were out of town. She sent daily updates and photos, and both dogs were happy and tired when we got home. We highly recommend Jackie to anyone in need of someone reliable and loving to care for their dog!”
“Great hosts and couple! They took Dexter in on such short notice with welcoming Arms. Definitely going to reach out to them in the future when we’re out of town. Thank you so much!”
“Maria was absolutely amazing! From the moment we dropped our dog off, we knew he was in great hands. She took him on long, enjoyable walks and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Maria was incredibly responsive and clearly treated our dog with so much love and care. He came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly adored his time with her. We are so grateful and would absolutely trust her again in the future!”
“Gavin was very patient , kind and understanding of my crazy schedule for this weekend and also my first time pet parent anxiety, and my dog loved being in his carelol I would gladly book with him again!”
About: Hello! We absolutely love all dogs. We have a beautiful 4 year old Weimaraner who we came into our life as a pup. We also have had two prior to her. We are comfortable with all aged dogs from the feisty puppies to the more quiet seniors. We have lots of experience with young puppies, senior dogs who need medication (oral pills or otherwise), and shy or energetic dogs. Linda even worked as a Vet Tech in high school and was a dog walker in college. We both are retired and love to sit outside with our dog and go for walks. As a visitor to our home, we are open to whatever method you employ for your dog’s safety. We have experience with crate training and are happy to continue those practices if you wish. Otherwise, your dog is free to roam our fenced yard and home. We are both retired, so have lots of time for your pup. Our dog always gets to go out whenever she wants. So will yours. We usually walk our dog in the morning afternoon and evening. If your dog is up to that, we will have her join us. We have a fenced in yard for the dogs to enjoy whenever they want. Our house is very dog friendly. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture. We do not leave any food out and have a dog proof garbage can too.
“I was very pleased on leaving my dog with Shauna & Pete. They kept me up to date on my dog and how he was doing daily. I had peace of mind leaving my dog with this Family.”
“Amazing dog sitter! She sent a bunch of pictures of my dog during his stay and took him on some really nice walks. He seemed really happy when I picked him up. Definitely recommend!”
“After meeting Jeannie, we knew she would take great care of our little poofy. We never left her with someone other than family. Jeannie sent us a daily update along with some adorable pictures of poofy. We can count on Jeannie and her family to care for her again when we go on our next vacation!!”
“I left Jinn over for 5 days while I was away on a trip and Niratcha and fam took great care of him. Kept me updated with pictures and videos and really kept him busy.”
“Mera was incredible with my dog Winston. He is an older dog and Mera went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. I am very thankful to Rover for connecting me with Mera!”
“This was the first time we have used a sitter for our pup outside of family or close friends, and Ashley and her family were simply wonderful. She provided daily updates, fun photos and videos, and gave me comfort that our pup was happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Ashley, and we will be return visitors!”
“We love these guys! Our puppies feel at home and are well loved, treated as family and always have a great time. The timely updates, lovely artistic pictures and videos and the great care they offer our pups is invaluable.”
“Omg! I’m so happy to found Robynn, She’s incredible my little baby Lili was a little princess in Robynn’s, She send me videos pictures messages. Lili was so happy she loved her 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰”
“Katie and her family kept Tank warm and happy during the crazy cold weather while we were on vacation! He walks in like he owns the place which means we don't worry about him a bit. Appreciate your excellent care.”

“Erika is amazing! Our kitty, Kevin, is a sweet and affectionate guy, and it gave us great peace of mind to have his new friend Erika look in on him twice a day while we were out of town. She not only gave him his wet and dry food and fresh water, but also took the time to play with him (when he wanted to), give him treats, and scoop his litter box daily (she even re-scooped when he utilized the clean box once 😂). Erika provided thoughtful updates and lots of great pictures that we will keep. What a relief to have such a kind person caring for Kevin while we were gone. Erika definitely goes the extra mile, and we won't hesitate to ask her back when we travel again!”
“Sarah did a fabulous job taking care of our two cats. She was timely in her visits and gave updates on how they were doing. The cats were lucky to have such a wonderful caregiver.”
“In the past we’ve used a boarding service for our kitty Douglas, but due to him coming home stressed out more often than not this time we decided to try rover for our 6 day trip and we are glad we did! Luy followed all our directions and we came home to a happy kitty cat! We had no issues while away and felt like our baby was very safe with Luy. We will be using her again when we take our next trip!”
“Cynthia was absolutely fantastic! I have three senior cats, one on medication who is a very finicky eater. She was so thoughtful and followed all instructions perfectly. My cats are very social and she made sure to spend time playing with them so they didn’t price my absence too much. But it wasn’t just that. She also made sure my home was kept in order with keeping the litter boxes extra clean, washing the cat dishes after feedings and sweeping up the litter dust from my floors. She also left detailed notes on each visit. Traveling is stressful, coming home to well cared for pets and everything as you left it was a Godsend! I cannot recommend Cynthia enough and will definitely be booking her again!”
“I would like to thank Stephanie for stopping by and looking after my two cats! I appreciated the pictures and updates I received while I was away. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a cat sitting service.”
“Jenny was an amazing person to work with!! She came over before the booking started to meet our pup and talk about his needs. She was always very attentive to responding to us and was very accommodating when needed. Our dog loved her! He always looked so happy in the pictures that she sent us and we felt reassured knowing he was in great hands while we were away. We would highly recommend Jenny! Thank you again!!”
“I usually leave my cat at a pet lodge and was not too thrilled with the services there because she would always fall sick. Therefore, wanted to try out Rover this time. This was my first time using this service and I was quite nervous. I looked up several profiles but Doreen’s caught my attention right away. I met with Doreen and she came across as a very genuine person with a wealth of experience and knowledge, and put me at ease right away. I immediately booked her for a week to care of my cat. Doreen was absolutely amazing with my 2 year old cat. She provided excellent feedback with pictures each day and the communication was on point! My cat usually takes a while to warm up to strangers but she was very comfortable with Doreen. We just got back home from vacation and my cat is absolutely happy and fine with no sickness. I would definitely recommend Doreen to anyone looking for a sitter. I am certainly going to be requesting her services again in the near future. Thank you again so much, Doreen, for all your help so we could have a stress-free vacation and my fur baby was also stress free and well cared for.”
“Amy is simply the best! We can leave our little fur babies and completely enjoy our trips since we know they are under her care. She is so kind and our cats love her! Five stars isn’t enough!!!”
“Service was great! She was very communicative and kept us up to date. We totally forgot to tell her our contractor was coming one of the days and she was proactive in calling us to make sure he was who he said he was. Would definitely use Goka & fam again! Thank you so much for taking care of our 3 cats. We were able to go on our trip stress free knowing our cats were being well taken care of. Thank you!”
About: I grew up around a variety of animals my whole life and I have been caring for others pets since I was 13 years old. I have always loved animals and treat everyone's pets as if they were my own. My senior year of high school I created my senior project around therapy dogs and helping special needs children. I trained my own dog to be a certified therapy dog through the organization known as Pet Partners. The remainder of the project was visiting with special needs children and doing educational activities. We also visited libraries and young children with developing their reading skills. I recently graduated from Purdue University with an Animal Science degree which has allowed me to gain even more knowledge on how to care for people's pets. I also have knowledge of animal CPR and first aid for cats and dogs. I'm looking forward to being apart of this pet care community and providing excellent care to all the pets I encounter.
About: With over 12 years of experience, I've cared for multiple dogs, trained two, and consistently follow routines. I enjoy walking dogs and ensuring they’re happy, healthy, and well-fed. I’ve also cared for my uncle’s dogs and picked up many effective training techniques along the way. I'm reliable, patient, and passionate about giving every dog the attention and structure they need. I currently don’t have another job, so my schedule is completely open and flexible. I’m available any day, any time, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether it’s a last-minute request or a regular routine, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your dog’s needs. My open availability means you can always count on me. I always follow the feeding and walking schedules provided by clients to ensure each dog’s routine stays consistent and comfortable. Most clients leave a list or specific details, and I make sure to stick to them closely. In between scheduled tasks, I spend quality time playing with the dogs, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company so they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you're away.
“Jessica took perfect care of my cat Bruce. She sent so many great pictures and notes that assured me he was doing good while I was away. If Jessica watches your pet, you should have peace of mind they are in good hands.”
About: Hi all, my name is Brenna and I have been caring for dogs for essentially my whole life! I have been house sitting, dog walking, and doing drop in visits for years and I hope to continue that over the summer. I enjoy dogs because they can only silently judge you, they will always accept you, and they never fail to make you feel loved. It is for these reasons, and so many more, that I want to make sure they feel the love back! Growing up I have always had a big dog in my home and I’ve cared for them through their old age, so I have experience with puppies, teens and senior dogs 🥰 I have taken care of one dog at a time up to three, big, dogs at a time, and I enjoy both situations equally. I am a teacher so I have a lot of free time during the week this summer and I would love to fill that up with some furry-friends! I am a teacher who is currently out for the summer and looking for ways to fill my day and make extra cash doing something else I love! I can be with your dog for as much time as needed everyday to make them and you feel safe and comfortable while you are away.
About: Working in an animal shelter I've had experience with multiple different types of cats, seen many different behaviors and have worked with cats to increase comfortability in high stress environments like the shelter! I also have a kitty of my own, Cinnabar, who we adopted and he has a condition called chronic rhinitis. Since adopting him, we've maneuvered through lots of illnesses he's had such as URI's when he was a young kitten, his chronic rhinitis and managing his inflammation and making him comfortable so I know a lot about administering medicine and making cats feel safe and comfortable!
“Lizzie was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover, and Lizzie made everything easy and comfortable. The thorough and reliable daily updates (with photos) helped ease our minds while we were away - we knew our cat was in good hands. Great communication, quick to reply, followed our instructions without issues, just all around perfect. We will book with her again! Thank you!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Village of Campton Hills
“Jackie is amazing! Our dog Smores had a fun time at Jackie’s place. He loved his time there and enjoyed their company. Jackie is a great host and she made sure s’mores get his walk, play, food and sleep. Thank you for taking care of him so well.”
“We had a meet with Danielle before we left our mini poodle a few days later with her. When we went back the second time, as we approached her house, he got super excited and couldn’t wait to go in. Danielle was really kind and gentle with him. When he was anxious as we left, she held him until he calmed down. He enjoyed playing with her very active puppy and was pretty tuckered when we got back. We’re looking forward to leaving him with her again.”
“I booked last minute and Gavin was wonderfully communicative throughout. Gavin greeted Bella so kindly before daycare, and Bella had a great time with Gavin! I really appreciated his responsiveness and care :)”
About: Hi! We’re new to Rover and excited to have your dog in our home! We’re a responsible and caring couple who love dogs and enjoy providing loving care. We have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes—from puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace, and from small breeds to large dogs. With two of us, your dog gets extra attention, supervision, and affection. We’re happy to accommodate routines, walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of cuddles. We prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure your dog feels comfortable and at home while you’re away. We treat every dog like our own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is in great hands. We are always busy with our own two dogs and cat, and someone is always home for food and bathroom breaks. We love having dogs hangout with us or let them do their own thing We have two dogs of our own who love to enjoy the big yard and chewing on twigs. Your dog will not be bored with us
“Stephanie is absolutely wonderful, and I felt completely safe leaving my precious pup with her for the weekend! We are so grateful to have found such a great Rover fit with her! Thank you Stephanie :)”
“Jessica watches my dog on a weekly basis and he absolutely loves it! She is truly the best and loves animals. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for pet care of any kind!”
“Jackie was phenomenal. I reached out pretty last minute with a request that wasn’t exactly simple—she had to pick Ghost up from his training facility (not from me) and coordinate all of that seamlessly. On top of that, she even helped me sort out a small payment detail on Rover to make sure everything reflected correctly, which she absolutely didn’t have to do. She was super responsive, easy to work with, and just handled everything without friction. And the best part—Ghost lit up the second he saw her again after a few months, which tells you everything you need to know. Somehow she manages all of this while caring for multiple dogs at once and raising a young family, which honestly makes it even more impressive. Highly recommend giving Jackie a shot.”
“Liz was more than great! This was our first time using a sitter for our senior dog. Ollie loved it! Liz took great care of him and kept me updated. I would highly recommend!”
“Thank you soooo much for taking him for the day! He is tired out and happy! Thank you for al the updates of photos and videos I will deff be bringing him back so he can play again! Thanks so much guys I highly recommend her!! Very great!”
About: I have always loved every different kind of animal out there, but spent my childhood with mostly just cats. 15 years ago, I adopted my first puppy, a German Short-haired Pointer, at the age of 8 weeks. My ex-husband and I decided to take the "treatless training" approach which was a huge success! Crate training, leash training, obedience training were all a collaborative effort and turned out extremely well. 10 years later, we adopted a sweet rescue named Gizmo who was already 7 years old, but became part of the family immediately. They have both passed on now to doggy heaven, but I am always the first to offer to care for other family member's pets anytime I can :) I'm currently working part-time from my home in Blackberry Creek and always have time for some fur-ball company. My 2 girls, 7 and 10 years old, are with me part time and are also very helpful, gentle and patient with our pets and hopefully yours! I have a fenced back yard with plenty of room for your fur-baby to play and exercise! If it better suits you, I can always come to your home as well for potty and play time :) UPDATE 6/8/26 - Since starting my Rover journey in 2022, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so many amazing pets and their wonderful families. Along the way, our household has grown and changed in ways I never expected. In 2023, one of my regular Rover pups (actually a senior pup) became a permanent part of our family. Tigger’s owner had rescued him from a Chicago Animal Shelter just months before I began caring for him. As a 100 lb. Staffordshire Terrier, Great Dane, Bully, etc. mix, Tigger was a big boy with an even bigger heart. His owner dedicated to helping him become the best version of himself, especially since he wasn’t always comfortable around other dogs. With patience, training, and love, he blossomed into the sweetest, gentlest giant you could imagine. When his owner unexpectedly passed away, her husband reached out to ask if I would consider adopting Tigger. My answer was immediate: absolutely. I couldn’t bear the thought of him returning to a shelter. Bringing Tiggy into our family was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My girls and I were lucky enough to love, spoil, and cherish him for three wonderful years before he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. We miss him every day, but are so grateful for the time we had together. Since then, we’ve also welcomed two adorable brother cats into our home. They keep us smiling and full our days with plenty of fun and affection. While our family has grown, we’re excited to have some doggy energy back in the house through Rover! When your pup stays with us, they’ll be welcomed with open arms and treated like a part of the family. We understand how much your pets mean to you because we’ve experienced firsthand just how special that bond can be. Our promise is simple: we’ll care for your furry family member with the same love, attention, and respect that we give our own. I work from home full time, so am able to provide your pup with all of the attention they deserve. They are free to run around in the fenced-in backyard and play at their fullest extent! Every pet owner has a different perspective on how to care for their pets. Some require a special routine for dinnertime or bedtime, while others require basic care with lots of love. I will follow whatever instructions are given to me by the owner…and I promise not to judge 😊
About: Hi paw parents, I’m Coco. I provide home style dog care for your furry baby. Follow my Facebook for discounts: Coco Siercks I’ve taken care of dogs of all age and kind since I was 15. I have experiences volunteering at Anderson animals shelter for a couple of years working with dogs and cats in all conditions until the pandemic happened. My parents wouldn’t let me have my own dog until I went to college. But that didn’t stop me from taking care of dogs that weren’t mine. I love animals so much, so I would always offer to take care my grandma’s dog and neighbors’ dogs as well. When I was old enough to volunteer at the animal shelter, I enjoyed spending time with animals and helping them to find a forever home. I’m currently a graduate student at UIUC back home for breaks. Therefore, I have plenty of time to play and take care of your fur baby. I do prefer a Meet-N-Greets with all new guests, best for pup and owner for a good fit. No aggressive or untrained dogs please. This is our home. Please use Heart Worm, Flea and Tick preventive to protect your dog since we spend time outdoors in grass and a small wooded area. My pup(Max) is up to date with all vaccinations, Heart Worm, Flea and Tick preventative. Please watch for symptoms, coughing, not eating, not acting normal, fever (100-103 normal) and mucus from nose. I would appreciate all guests have their Dog Flu Vaccine, please consult with your Dr. Takes 5 weeks to be good effective. My schedule is really flexible, Please let me know what time might work best for you and your furry family member. We can workout the best time for everyone. I live in an animal friendly neighborhood. My house is ranch-style house with a fenced in yard and a sun room with easy access to my backyard. I also have a friendly dog to keep your dog’s company. If your dog don’t get alone with other dogs, my house is big enough to separate them (I only host two family at a time). I will take care of each dog according to their situation and condition, such as eating time and other living habits. I will keep the owner updated with video, pictures and/or phone.
“Mary was communicative, friendly, and super flexible with my puppy's first stay away. He is in a challenging phase but she handled it in stride. My pup was extremely happy in the photos and videos she was kind enough to send and came home ready to snooze :) Thank you!”

I am available to housesit and petsit in your home. I can maintain household responsibilities and keep your animals happy while you are away. I am also available for walks and drops ins.
About: Your dog isn’t just a guest - they’re part of the family. I work from home full time which means your pup will rarely be left alone. They’ll have constant supervision, companionship, and plenty of love throughout the day.

About: Hello! I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I have been caring for animals my whole life, including my own pets and also dogs I foster for a local rescue. I would love to care for your furry family member as well. As a Type-A personality and a mother of 3 humans and 3 dogs, I am very organized, reliable, detail-oriented, caring, and trustworthy. I work from home part-time in the photography industry and would love to help you add to the adorable photos of your pet while they are in my care, if you would like! I have a Masters Degree in Higher Education and a Bachelors in Entrepreneurship, both at Illinois State University. I did my business plan on a doggy day care and when I was a kid I wanted to be a vet, so as you can see...caring for animals has been in my blood from a young age! Several of my animals have had special needs or are prone to injury, so I have LOTS of experience in that regard. My vet can vouch for the fact that I would make a great vet tech. Blood and other bodily fluids do not phase me and I am cool as a cucumber under pressure (I've dealt with two dogs with broken legs, two dog strokes, cancer, many a laceration, a diabetic cat, and a dog with no eyes.) I also have fostered several puppies and love their puppy breath! Happy to help care for the youngest of your pets as well. I work from home part-time during typical business hours and cart my kids to and from their activities. My spare time is spent caring for your furry friends! Whether I am coming into your home or your pets are coming into mine, your pets and property will be treated with the utmost care and consideration. I will provide the excellent service I expect for pet sitters for my own family dogs and nothing less. Safety and security are also top of mind and, with my high attention to detail, nothing will be missed. Pets in my home will be treated like family. We have 2 retired racing greyhounds who are loving, calm, and kind, as well as a foster-fail super mutt who loves to play and keep our house safe from chipmunks and mail carriers. I have three kids (12, 10, and 7) who all have extensive experience with dogs and who will help me respectfully love on your pet while you are away. We have a LARGE fenced in yard with lots of little critters to sniff after and plenty of room to run. We live in a pet-friendly cul-du-sac with several dogs and chickens next door.
“My two huskies were absolutely pooped when we picked them up! They had a great day with Niratcha. Great communication, photos and level of supervision. Would highly recommend and consider again for future doggie daycare/boarding :)”

“With our schedules constantly changing, we needed someone to check-in and walk our dog during the work week. We have a strong 60 lbs. German Shorthaired Pointer with lots of energy and Jenny has been extremely helpful, flexible, and caring toward our pet. She is very responsive, sends updates and pictures from visit. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with Jenny’s dog services!”
About: I’ve owned cats and dogs my whole life! I love both! I also rode horses for many years and have had friends with bunnies and rodents so I have experienced many types of animals I’m a college student! Tuesdays and Thursdays mornings i’m in an elementary school and Wednesday’s I spend my whole day on campus as well as Thursday afternoons. I’m free most of the time ! I don’t board animals due to my own pets. But i adhere to any schedules and routines done in the home. I also respect others property. I always leave the place clean and tidy after staying and make sure to communicate anything necessary.

“Taylor is warm, friendly, and affectionate with Misty. Misty loves her immediately. I enjoy having Taylor's help in walking my dog, and will use her services again without reservation.”
“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: I have been pet sitting for several years ever since I was around the age of 13. Additionally, I work at Anderson Humane in South Elgin as a kennel tech and have been working there since August! I have worked with many different animals as a Kennel Tech, I also have experience with administering medicine and I am Fear Free certified. My animal experience is very important to me as I plan on majoring in animal science on the pre-vet track this upcoming fall when I head off to college! :) I work part time but I have plenty of time to care for your pets otherwise. My availability is open most of the time so just let me know when I’m needed and I should be able to accommodate! I look forward to meeting your pets! I am experienced in ensuring your animal stays comfortable and happy even if they may get nervous meeting someone new for example... I have lots of experience working with shy and reactive dogs and am comfortable with all temperaments because I can handle them well! I know how important your pets are so I am well prepared for anything!
About: I have grown up with small dogs and large dogs. Between Shih Tzus, Aussies, labs, huskies and more, I have been around them all. I currently have four Aussies in our family home that I care for everyday. They are very energetic dogs so I am always playing with them outside or taking them on walks. As well, I have volunteered at many animal shelters and currently volunteer at my college animals shelter. It has given me lots of experience with dogs of all sizes, needs, energy levels, and comfort levels. As well as time spent socializing with the cats! As a college student who mostly babysits, I am very flexible with my weeks. I have a lot of random availability and free time during the day. As well, if I do work, it is usually during the day so I can stay with your animals over night. I am open to any options of care. With fenced in homes, I am always going to let your fur baby run around and play with them. Though, I love to walk and I know they do too. Walks will always happen even if play happens first!
“Kassandra is marvelous! She's friendly, kind, and very reliable. My dogs adore her! She's been a great help while I've been recovering from surgery; her dog walking has made Birdie and Gracie so much happier and calmer. I would use her services again in a minute!”
“Heather was wonderful and made my first experience with Rover an absolute breeze. She communicated well, was extremely kind and took great care of my boy Hank. 10/10 would recommend!”

About: I have always loved dogs. I have 3 crazy and energetic French bulldogs of my own! So needless to say, I can handle some chaos. I have experience dog sitting, dog walking, and dog loving. I mostly care for family/friend’s pets, but love any and all dogs. I am currently an online student getting my Bachelors in Business administration. I have a very flexible schedule, and always up for a break from schoolwork in my days! I am more than comfortable handling dogs of all sizes. Dogs safety and comfort is incredibly important to me. I will be respectful of your space, attentive to details, and committed to keeping things calm, clean, and secure.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with pets in the home—usually a dog, a cat, or both—and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. My last dog passed away about four years ago, and while I would love to adopt again, I can’t right now because my son has significant allergies to cats and dogs. I truly miss the companionship and joy that pets bring, which is one of the reasons I’m so grateful to care for other families’ animals. When your dog is with me, they’ll get more than just the basics. Of course I’ll make sure their physical needs are met—walks, feeding, fresh water, and safety—but I’ll also give them plenty of affection, attention, and calm companionship. I’m comfortable with larger dogs, and I’m also happy to give basic medications (such as pills with food or treats) as needed. I’ll treat your pup like a beloved member of the family, and I’ll follow your routines and instructions closely so they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home and am available for mid day walks, as well as evening visits and walks. I also am available for pet sitting on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. I would only be able to care for pets in clients homes. I will meet your pet and you prior to our first visit to ensure I understand your pet's routine and can keep them safe during their time with me.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have a genuine passion for them. I have experience in dogs of all sizes from Yorkie mixes to English mastiffs. Most of my experience is with older dogs but willing to work with puppies. I love taking the time to get to know each dog and their personalities. I am a teacher on summer break so my schedule is pretty flexible this time of year! Most of my availability is during the day for walking but can be available at night if needed. I am comfortable putting dogs in and out of crates and administering medication if needed. Not afraid to clean up messes when needed. Comfortable walking dogs. I have my own car so I can drive if needed at any time.

“We can't say enough good things about Jackie and her family! Frank and Homer were in the best hands while we were out of town. She sent daily updates and photos, and both dogs were happy and tired when we got home. We highly recommend Jackie to anyone in need of someone reliable and loving to care for their dog!”
“Great hosts and couple! They took Dexter in on such short notice with welcoming Arms. Definitely going to reach out to them in the future when we’re out of town. Thank you so much!”
“Maria was absolutely amazing! From the moment we dropped our dog off, we knew he was in great hands. She took him on long, enjoyable walks and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Maria was incredibly responsive and clearly treated our dog with so much love and care. He came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly adored his time with her. We are so grateful and would absolutely trust her again in the future!”
“Gavin was very patient , kind and understanding of my crazy schedule for this weekend and also my first time pet parent anxiety, and my dog loved being in his carelol I would gladly book with him again!”
About: Hello! We absolutely love all dogs. We have a beautiful 4 year old Weimaraner who we came into our life as a pup. We also have had two prior to her. We are comfortable with all aged dogs from the feisty puppies to the more quiet seniors. We have lots of experience with young puppies, senior dogs who need medication (oral pills or otherwise), and shy or energetic dogs. Linda even worked as a Vet Tech in high school and was a dog walker in college. We both are retired and love to sit outside with our dog and go for walks. As a visitor to our home, we are open to whatever method you employ for your dog’s safety. We have experience with crate training and are happy to continue those practices if you wish. Otherwise, your dog is free to roam our fenced yard and home. We are both retired, so have lots of time for your pup. Our dog always gets to go out whenever she wants. So will yours. We usually walk our dog in the morning afternoon and evening. If your dog is up to that, we will have her join us. We have a fenced in yard for the dogs to enjoy whenever they want. Our house is very dog friendly. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture. We do not leave any food out and have a dog proof garbage can too.
“Amazing dog sitter! She sent a bunch of pictures of my dog during his stay and took him on some really nice walks. He seemed really happy when I picked him up. Definitely recommend!”
“After meeting Jeannie, we knew she would take great care of our little poofy. We never left her with someone other than family. Jeannie sent us a daily update along with some adorable pictures of poofy. We can count on Jeannie and her family to care for her again when we go on our next vacation!!”
“I left Jinn over for 5 days while I was away on a trip and Niratcha and fam took great care of him. Kept me updated with pictures and videos and really kept him busy.”
“Mera was incredible with my dog Winston. He is an older dog and Mera went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. I am very thankful to Rover for connecting me with Mera!”
“This was the first time we have used a sitter for our pup outside of family or close friends, and Ashley and her family were simply wonderful. She provided daily updates, fun photos and videos, and gave me comfort that our pup was happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Ashley, and we will be return visitors!”
“Katie and her family kept Tank warm and happy during the crazy cold weather while we were on vacation! He walks in like he owns the place which means we don't worry about him a bit. Appreciate your excellent care.”
“Penelope had a wonderful stay for the week. She was very well cared for, happy, and comfortable the entire time. Communication was great throughout the stay, and it was clear Penelope was treated like part of the family. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter”
About: Hello there! My name is Erika. I’ve been interacting with dogs since I was an infant, and now I’m a proud dog owner of an Australian Shepherd named Mysti. For the majority of my life, my family has had Labrador Retrievers, and I have experience with most common breeds through friends, family, and Rover. I also have experience with lesser-known breeds, difficult breeds, and breeds that need specialized attention. My experience also includes working with dogs who require medical attention, such as dogs with diabetes, epilepsy, cancer, and most common diseases and disorders such as anxiety, depression, minor/moderate behavioral issues, and teeth/gum issues. I’m very capable of changing out gauze on medical sites, cleaning stitches, administering medicine, and cleaning up after a pet if they have an accident. Caring for pets isn’t always “pretty”, or “perfect”, and I’m okay with that. My approach is straight-forward, no nonsense, and compassionate, and I will always do right by you and your pet! I’m looking forward to hearing from you, thank you. Currently, my full-time job is working with pets and completing my degree. I do have some regulars around lunchtime, but other than that my schedule is generally open. In my spare time I garden, paint, draw, cook, walk my dog, and run another small business online. Trust: Having a stranger come into your home to watch your pets is a big deal. I’m the person who comes to the house for a living and even I find it a bit strange. So, what I can say about trusting me is that I understand if you don’t. What I can tell you about me is that I’m someone who likes things straight-forward and blunt (this makes it easier for us both to trust each other), I prefer transparency (who are we all trying to fool anyways?), and I will always be honest with you about what is going on with me and your pet. I back this up by being completely okay with being watched by home cameras, as long as they aren’t in private areas, and that I am informed. ———————————————————— Environment: Cleanliness, order, and structure are important to me when caring for pets, whether they be a dog who needs a walk, a cat who needs medicine, or a puppy who just needs to play. I am very mindful about the environment I am in, whether that be your home, your yard, or walking outside in the neighborhood. I typically centralize what I need in the workspace that I am assigned (kitchen, living room, bedroom), and will complete all essential tasks as described and then clean up after myself completely. I take pride in leaving an environment clean and leaving your personal belongings untouched, and making sure that your pet can’t get into anything dangerous, can’t get out, and is safe when they are with me and when they are alone in the house. I’m careful of poisonous substances, such as coffee grounds, items containing xylitol, and other poisonous items such as chemical cleaning agents. In regard to your home, I am incredibly diligent about keeping windows and doors locked when I am around and when I am out. Nothing scares me more than the thought of a loose pet or someone getting into a home while I am gone and will go to great lengths to make sure neither of those things happen on my watch. ———————————————————— Safety: I would like to think I’m pretty fun and cool, but I’m actually quite a stickler when it comes to safety. When walking especially, I will avoid people and dogs without a second thought because I don’t want your dog to either react negatively and get into a bad situation or end up getting attacked by a reactive/aggressive dog. I’m a quick walker, carry treats on me for emergencies, and am physically capable of picking up dogs up to about 80-100 pounds. Extra large dogs I am able to control by making them do a sit and holding their collar until they’re calm or non-resistant. If they do not sit, I will block them until they listen and relax. I use obedience basics to ensure a safe and trusting relationship with the pets I watch, whether or not we are on a walk. My method when a dog is acting naughty is to ignore them, take treats away, and if necessary I can crate them.
“Stephanie was great with our large golden retriever puppy! She made him feel right at home and he loved her dog Murphy. She kept us updated with pictures and texts. We were very happy with the care she provided.”
“Kimberly was amazing with my two girls, definitely a 5-star sitter! She sent photos updating me while I was away and was great calming my bi girl, who iI s afraid of thunder. She is communicative, timely, knowledgeable and loved my dogs like her own; I highly recommend Kimberly! !”
“Selena is amazing! Crash is my baby boy and not only did she get him to get comfortable with other dogs but even got him to go on walks with other dogs!! Thank you so much for you amazing hospitality, she sent many pictures and video and updates reassuring me during my time gone. I will definitely be booking with Selena any time I will need boarding.”
“Penny was amazing! I left my pup, Ginger, with her for 2 weeks while we were out of country. Penny sent pictures of Ginger and made sure she had plenty of activity. I even noticed that Ginger had lost a few pounds that she needed to lose! I would highly recommend Penny!”
“Maddie was a great babysitter for our dog, Marcie! She was very quick with her responses. She sent lots of really cute pictures, which assured us that Marcie was well taken care of and having fun. Marcie came home nice and tired from her stay at Maddie's house!”
