“Mera does a wonderful job with our dog, she takes great care of him and we are always happy to leave him with her. She even went the extra mile this time since he’s getting older and is not doing well and it was very much appreciated by us.”
“Jeannie did a fantastic job with our sweet girl Laurel. We got pics and an update each day and her and her family gave her lots of belly rubs! We will be booking Jeannie again!”
“Eric is a great pet sitter. As soon as I met him and saw his house and yard, I just felt so calm. I knew he would take good care of my dog. She did have a bad first night but Eric took care of it with aplomb and empathy. I highly recommend Eric.”
“Jackie was awesome!! She and her family showed so much love and care to our dog, Frank. He had a great time with a few other furry friends! It was so nice getting the photos from Jackie, several times a day. Jackie is so accommodating and caring! I wish we had discovered her sooner!! She is the best!!”
“Tina was amazing with my dog Piggy! Piggy stayed with her for two weeks and had the best time. I got regular updates and pictures, and it was so clear that Piggy felt right at home and was having fun. Tina took such good care of her and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I’m so grateful to have found Tina—she’s warm, reliable, and truly loves dogs. Piggy can’t wait to go back for another stay!”
“Haley and Tyler were wonderful! They took amazing care of my golden retriever for a few days, treating him like one of their own. I received multiple updates and photos every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my pup was happy, well-loved, and getting plenty of attention and exercise. The communication was excellent, and their home was the perfect environment for my dog to feel comfortable and safe with a big fenced back yard. I would absolutely trust them again in a heartbeat!”
About: I've taken care of pets ever since I was a kid. When I was in high school, my family hosted dogs of all sizes, including one of my favorites, a Burnese Mountain Dog named Ruby. Lately I've had the chance to watch my brother's two dogs (as seen in my bio pics) when he travels. I work a semi-active full time job over the week, with plenty of energy to spare when I'm not working. I am fully available over the weekends from Friday evening straight through to Sunday! I also am free on weekdays for walks or drop-ins as long as it's before 7:30 am or after 5 pm. Your dog will stay in a cozy, smoke-free condo where they are welcome on the furniture and bed. While I don't have a yard, I love taking long, frequent walks around the neighborhood. For their comfort and safety, I host one family at a time and ask that owners provide the dog's preferred bed or crate if possible
“Danielle was nice enough to take our pups in an emergency situation. She was absolutely GREAT with them. They were well taken care of, even during a storm. You can rest assured Danielle will take the best care possible of your pets. We already have two other trips booked with her because she was sooo good”
“Vanessa is great! We can tell Molly had a great time in her care!! Knowing Molly was safe, had a proper care, and enjoyed companion in Vanessa’s house while we’re on a trip give us peace of mind. We will definitely book her boarding again!!”
“Patricia took amazing care of Zoey. She was great with sending us video and photo updates which gave us peace of mind. I highly recommend Patricia and look forward to having her watch Zoey again.”
“Our dog, Jackie stayed with Greg and Sonia for 9 days and did very well! We could tell from the Meet & Greet that we had with Sonia in advance of Jackie's stay that it would be a good environment for her. The large fenced in yard and Sonia's questions for us let us know right away that Jackie would be safe and well cared for. We received photos and texts throughout Jackie's stay that confirmed all was well. And upon picking Jackie up, chatting with Sonia also confirmed that she had been hands-on with Jackie and understood her as well as we did. We will definitely use Sonia and Greg again and recommend them wholeheartedly to others considering them!”
“Peggy was excellent. She was very thorough prior to babysitting Sozo and was great about communication before and during his visit. She made her home a nice place for him to stay and i would recommend her! Sozo loved her four season room to look out the window!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10 years old.My dog cocker spaniel lived 17 years. My two cats and dog lived together and were friendly.

“Cynthia is incredible! She took such great care of our two kitties and definitely found the way to Clio’s heart! We so appreciated the time spent getting to know them, the attention to detail, pictures and updates. We had such peace of mind while away, and are so thankful for her.”
“Doreen had taken good care of our cats! She did perfectly on what we discussed, which is much appreciated! And every time she took pictures for our cats and left messages of how they were doing. Definitely will book her again next time.”
“This was my first time using Rover as a client. This was my first time using Sarah. Sarah did a great job of taking care of everything. She had a lot of items to check for functionality. Sarah did an exceptional job in dealing with my daily changes that occurred as I had to find the perfect routine for my outdoor cats. Some things went off line but she went with the flow and was able to transition nicely with the issues. I hope she will sit for me again if asked”
“Erika was wonderful with my little cat Loki. Loki needed six medications every night and she was able to give them in a gentle but effective manner. Loki even purred afterwards! I would highly recommend Erika to everyone for animal care.”
“Elena was a real godsend. She came on short notice to take care of our elderly cat, who is a rescue and tends to need time to warm up to most people. Elena has a calm and gentle and presence and Bella felt safe with her right away. Elena was also excellent in her communication. She kept us updated on Bella's well-being and was responsive to our inquiries, ensuring we felt reassured while we were away. Her genuine love for animals was evident throughout the entire experience. We will be calling her again!”
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: I am a passionate lover of cats. I have taken care of my own cats for many years and have a lot of love for cats. I am called on to cat sit for my own family and love doing it. I spend time with the cats, playing and taking care of their general needs. I will take excellent care of your cat, just like I do with my own. I look forward to meeting your precious kitty! II retired after 40 years of a nursing career, and look forward to doing something I like doing!! I am available most any time of the day or evening. I have one cat currently, and she gets brushed daily, her box is always clean, and she gets one treat a day, which she loves. At night, we get some playtime in!
“Our trips are always great knowing we have Amy taking care of our cats! Five stars isn’t enough to describe her care, dependability and expertise. We are so grateful we found her !! Thank you Amy!!”
“Cristal was very caring and took good care of my cats. This was my first time leaving them with a cat sitter so I was a bit anxious. The daily pictures she sent took away all my worries!”
“Grace was so helpful with our cats! She was easy to communicate with before and during our trip and we really appreciated her help. We will definitely use Grace for our next trip.”
“Kassandra continually goes above and beyond every single time we go out of town, up to 3 weeks at a time. Our fur babies absolutely adore her as can be seen in the multiple photos she sends each visit. So thankful to have found her, we are repeat customers and will continue to use her for all of our pet needs as long as she’ll have us. ❤️❤️❤️”
“Amy is an excellent pet sitter! She took great care of Birdie, exactly as she needed it. Her flexibility is appreciated - she even brought in our trash cans and package deliveries. We absolutely will ask her to sit for our cat again, soon. Book her! 😊👍🏻”
“Zach did a fantastic job! I booked him to clean out for very dirty litter boxes and replace them with fresh letter. I was very impressed with his ability to get right to the work at hand, get the job done, and leave everything looking great. He was so fast, he had time to tackle one of two of the cats water fountains, which were also overdue for cleaning and refilling. My kitties will love that their favorite fountain is working again. Next time, he’ll tackle the other fountain and I have no doubt that that will be done efficiently as well. Thank you, Zach! Nice to meet you, and you’ll be number one on my call”

“This was Olive’s first visit. Since she is a puppy and doesn’t have regular exposure to other dogs, she was very timid. This was a great first visit due to Jessica and Chrisitan’s kind and patient manner. We’ll definitely schedule another play date with Jessica.”
“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!”
“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 :)”
“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.”
“It was our first time using a sitter for our puppy so we were understandably nervous, but Danielle was great! She met with us ahead of time and our dog got a chance to play with her adorable puppy. She was great at communicating day of and even sent us a picture to let us know how things were going. We will be using her again!”
“Jackie was amazing with my energetic boy Tucker!! He loved playing in her backyard and snuggling with her and her pups on the couch. He is tired and happy after picking him up. It was my first time dropping him at someone’s house for Rover so I was very anxious, however Jackie eased that immediately when I met her and her two cute pups. I will 100% use her services again next time I’m in the area.”
“Albina was amazing! She continuously updated me on my puppy. I obtained photos, confirmations in feeding, adjustments when needed, and so much more. Overall, she made my first experience with Rover great. I will be using her services again.”
“Our dog had a wonderful day with Donna and her dog, which included plenty of outdoor play. Donna is patient, calm, and genuinely cares about dogs. We are happy that we found Donna and are looking forward to more visits in the near future.”
“Thank you so much for making my first experience with Rover so easy and awesome. Bob had such a great time and clearly got lots of love all day. I know he looks forward to coming back! See you again soon!”
“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 :)”
“Queenie definitely is comfortable when in Jackie and Uriel’s care and is now always our first go to when we need care for Queenie. Thank you guys for taking care of her.”
“So incredible! She is very attentive and responsive! We got video and photo updates throughout the day which made me know our dogs were well taken care of! Our dogs came home happy and tired! There is honestly nothing better than that. Cannot recommend Vanessa enough!!”
About: I am an animal lover, growing up with cats, and having owned 2 dogs for over 13 years! I enjoy all kinds of dogs and cats and would love to be able to help you out. I will care for your animals as if they were my own. Just tell me what the norm is for your fur babies and I'll make sure they are taken care of! I am available most times during the week and all day on weekends for walks. I also offer boarding at my home in a large neighborhood with a 2 mile walking path! My 13-year-old son loves helping me with the animals and would love to join me for walks/visits (but only if you are comfortable with it)! We love taking dogs for long walks and helping keep them occupied with play time. During boarding, your animal would be spoiled and loved! I want you to feel as comfortable as possible when I'm taking care of your pet! I am available mostly in the mornings and late afternoon/evenings during the week (but have some midday flexibility) and all day on weekends! My availability is pretty consistent and I keep my calendar as up to date as possible. I treat customer’s pets as if they were my own. Our pets are often like children except they offer unconditional love and trust to their families. My aim is to help your fur baby feel loved and cared for... just tell me what the norm is for your fur babies and I'll make sure they are taken care of.
About: Hello! Kim and family here. We have over 30 years of animal care experience. From cats and dogs to lizards and horses. We feel comfortable with a variety of animals. With a background in law enforcement adjacent positions and a TS clearance. Clean background. Bachelors level education in behavioral science and criminal justice and security administration, as well as CPR certifications for humans and animals, and a vet assisting certification/experience! We can administer insulin and give oral medications. We also LOVE elderly animals. We are licensed bonded and insured. And have decades of the world under our feet. Animals are like people to us. We actually prefer them, and function with them better. Living on a five acre hobby farm for over a decade. They are literally our family now that the kids have aged into adults. It’s me and my husband Mike here. My family helps me operate a small pet care business out of Big Rock IL. House Sitting: We treat your home with respect and follow all of your rules. Water plants. Get mail. And stick to pet schedules. Please advise we do this full time. Each sitting is different as each animal and owner ask for different things. If full time care is needed it will be an extended stay rate of 125 for 8am through 8pm hours and 75 for the night. If we can’t come and go. We can’t make money. This is all I do for income and no one can survive off of only 75 or less for the day. Otherwise most sittings look like me making that my center of gravity through any schedule I have for the day. Usually no longer than four to six hours away from the home while out with drops in accrued in a single day. For Boarding: PLEASE READ: This is a home setting; we do not consistently tour our home. I believe the photos on here and reviews do us justice. We send pet parents updates with the surrounding view almost daily to every other day. Having people walk through the house consistently was just too much for out family and the farm animals here. So we do not do this anymore. In the future we may build a kennel/outbuildings addition, and will offer tours of that should the time ever come that we decide to do that. But again, WE DO NOT PROVIDE TOURS OF OUR PERSONAL HOME. There are also other considerations to consider that most residential people do not account for. 1. Liability coverage: my liability coverage covers your animals. Not you. 2. Animal anxiety: it’s a chain. The system I have for doing things allows for animals to be as calm and anxiety free as possible. If you’re on the property. The regulars don’t know you and anxiety fills the entire area. 3. Biosecurity: Don’t take this the wrong way. I don’t know where your shoes have been. 4. Private farm setting: exactly as it states. The lay out past my private acres long drive does not even allow access to my front door without going through two secured gates. It’s not easy access. 5. Safety: I live in the middle of nowhere, and do not need anyone to know the exact lay out of my home. You’re signing up for pet service. I am providing this service. Not giving people access to my home. Thank you for understanding. Please note this is a country setting. Someone is always here if I (Kim) am not. Sometimes photos have issues sending. But they always eventually go through. Service can be patchy because it’s the country. Text updates are reliably daily. I pride myself on building close relationships with my clients. I treat the animals I care for with top priority as my family does this full time and this is our entire income. Our reviews and the animals we care for speak for themselves. If you’re looking for someone to love and care for your animals with truth, trust, and transparency. That also has a family of well versed animal humans at her disposal as back up care approved through Rover. You are in the right place. Look forward to hearing from you. -Kimberly, Mike, and Family. Please note that prices will more than likely rise, since Rover has gone from taking 20 percent of each booking to now 30 percent from sitters. Prices must rise to enable us to continue providing service while combating this rise in inflation, not only on the platform, but in the world. Liability contract needed to continue service with the understanding that dogs bark, bite, scratch, and get into physical environmental factors. In a farm setting please make sure all of your animals are on needed monthly flea and tick preventative as well as heart guard. I have plenty of time for your pups and their specific needs/routines. We cater to every animal as if they were our own, and understand each one is special and different. We have a double fenced yard, with lots of open space indoors and out. Extra crates and or farm house furniture for your pets needs.
About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid. I have had my own pets as well as taking care of pets for family and friends over the years. We have a dog, and it’s very important for us to have a safe and trusting home for her to stay in while we are out of town. We want to be able to provide that for others. We both work from home full-time, so we are here all day. Your pup will be able to go outside as often as they want. We can accommodate special care or instructions as you need. We have one dog in the home. She is very friendly and loves other dogs. We only board for one family at a time, but if you have multiple dogs, we are happy to take them. We have a two-story house with a basement. Ample space to accommodate your pup(s). We also have built-in gates throughout the house if they need their own space. We have a very large fenced in yard for them to play in. We are also very near many Dog parks and nature parks where we can take long walks if desired. Pets are welcome on any furniture and in the beds, so they can be as comfortable as they like. We have a very pet friendly home. Let us know how we can make their stay more comfortable.

“Nicole came over to meet my pup before her walk and was so friendly and sweet with her! She sent photos on their walks, refilled her water, and my pup was very happy after getting a nice long walk!”
“Grace was amazing handling my German Shepard, My dog is sweet but can be intimidating. He is strong and will bark at other dogs on walks so I always worry a little if people will be comfortable walking him. Grace was awesome with him and put me at ease. I’m so glad I found her to help me out and would use her again!”
“Stephanie was amazing! She came over for a meet and greet on short notice and stayed for an hour to answer all of my questions, and meet my pup. She came over every day to walk her while I was away and my family was working. She even checked to make sure my dog was given her medicine and gave it to her if needed. I got messages/updates and pictures every day which really put me at ease. Not only did she take excellent care of my baby, but she also checked in on me to see how my trip was, which was really nice of her. Stephanie really went above and beyond just walking Charlie, she took the time to make sure she had everything she needed and gave her plenty of love. I will absolutely use her in the future!!”
“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!”
“Hazel was wonderful at coordinating walks for my dog while I’m recovering from surgery. Incredibly grateful she was able to walk him on short notice and he clearly had a great time! :)”

“Mera does a wonderful job with our dog, she takes great care of him and we are always happy to leave him with her. She even went the extra mile this time since he’s getting older and is not doing well and it was very much appreciated by us.”
“Jeannie did a fantastic job with our sweet girl Laurel. We got pics and an update each day and her and her family gave her lots of belly rubs! We will be booking Jeannie again!”
“Jackie was awesome!! She and her family showed so much love and care to our dog, Frank. He had a great time with a few other furry friends! It was so nice getting the photos from Jackie, several times a day. Jackie is so accommodating and caring! I wish we had discovered her sooner!! She is the best!!”
“Tina was amazing with my dog Piggy! Piggy stayed with her for two weeks and had the best time. I got regular updates and pictures, and it was so clear that Piggy felt right at home and was having fun. Tina took such good care of her and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I’m so grateful to have found Tina—she’s warm, reliable, and truly loves dogs. Piggy can’t wait to go back for another stay!”
“Haley and Tyler were wonderful! They took amazing care of my golden retriever for a few days, treating him like one of their own. I received multiple updates and photos every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my pup was happy, well-loved, and getting plenty of attention and exercise. The communication was excellent, and their home was the perfect environment for my dog to feel comfortable and safe with a big fenced back yard. I would absolutely trust them again in a heartbeat!”
About: I've taken care of pets ever since I was a kid. When I was in high school, my family hosted dogs of all sizes, including one of my favorites, a Burnese Mountain Dog named Ruby. Lately I've had the chance to watch my brother's two dogs (as seen in my bio pics) when he travels. I work a semi-active full time job over the week, with plenty of energy to spare when I'm not working. I am fully available over the weekends from Friday evening straight through to Sunday! I also am free on weekdays for walks or drop-ins as long as it's before 7:30 am or after 5 pm. Your dog will stay in a cozy, smoke-free condo where they are welcome on the furniture and bed. While I don't have a yard, I love taking long, frequent walks around the neighborhood. For their comfort and safety, I host one family at a time and ask that owners provide the dog's preferred bed or crate if possible
“Our dog, Jackie stayed with Greg and Sonia for 9 days and did very well! We could tell from the Meet & Greet that we had with Sonia in advance of Jackie's stay that it would be a good environment for her. The large fenced in yard and Sonia's questions for us let us know right away that Jackie would be safe and well cared for. We received photos and texts throughout Jackie's stay that confirmed all was well. And upon picking Jackie up, chatting with Sonia also confirmed that she had been hands-on with Jackie and understood her as well as we did. We will definitely use Sonia and Greg again and recommend them wholeheartedly to others considering them!”
“Peggy was excellent. She was very thorough prior to babysitting Sozo and was great about communication before and during his visit. She made her home a nice place for him to stay and i would recommend her! Sozo loved her four season room to look out the window!”
“Absolutely amazing! Kind, considerate person. I received regular updates and pictures. I could have not been happier or felt more comfortable leaving my fur baby in their care!”
“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! !”
“Our elderly and special needs Pomeranian felt right at home with Jill and her family. We could see his happiness each day in the wonderful pictures she sent us. A home filled with love for animals. We will absolutely book with Jill again ❤️”
“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.”
“Rabia and her family did an excellent job of taking care of Archie, my golden retriever. They are so caring and loving! Rabia was very accommodating to a last minute change in schedule and very attentive, giving us frequent updates. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs reassurance their pet is being well looked after with so much love!”
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.
“Lori was very good to work with. It was our first time booking through Rover. We felt much more comfortable than leaving Jake in a kennel. Lori stayed in touch & sent pics.”
