Sumer was perfect! This is my first time using Rover and I was very apprehensive leaving my baby with someone I did not know. From the very first message, I felt more and more comfortable. When the time came to drop Raven off, I saw how she reacted to Sumer and I was immediately at ease. I trust dogs’ reactions to people. Her spirit is so welcoming and I knew my baby was in good hands. I received multiple updates and pics throughout the stay. I love that she was allowed on furniture and able to be cuddles like she is at home. She looked happy in every pic and it made me feel so much better while I was away. 10/10! Raven will be back :-) Thank you!

Our 15 month old Maltipoo had never spent a night apart from us and had limited interaction with other dogs. We had a need for an overnight stay and decided to try Rover which led us to Emily and Thomas as they lived close by. We are so very thankful that we found them! They spent three days in a week leading up to the stay having Charlie come over for walks and spent time inside their place trying to get him used to a new environment. They were so patient with him and so kind to him. They sent pictures and videos to help reassure us that he was doing well. They really went above and beyond in every way and we can recommend them highly enough! We can’t wait to have them sit with Charlie again later this summer and have him play with Monster! Thank you, Emily and Thomas!

Tanya was amazing with Winston! He can be a very nervous boy, but he felt completely comfortable with Tanya and her family. We also had the pleasure of booking at the same time as Winston’s cousin, Gus, so the two of them got to play together the entire time we were away. 😜 It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Winston was happy, relaxed, and having the best time!

I knew they were in good hands and this allowed us to enjoy our time away. I will choose them every time we are away for an extended time. You should pick her too!

Angel was amazing with taking care of my doggos. Bailey has extremely high separation anxiety and is very destructive when left alone and Angel accommodated Bailey’s needs their entire visit which put me at ease. Drop off and pick up was super easy and she also kept me updated on how Bailey and DJ were doing throughout my trip (pics and vids included). Both of my pups were sad on the car ride home bc of how attached they got to Angel and her boyfriend’s amazing personalities and gentleness! I look forward to rebooking with her!

Our dog was able to play outside in the fenced yard, snuggle a bunch and treated like a part of their family. We will definitely use Jennifer for another future trip! Thanks so much!

About: Hi! I’m Meg, a graduate student attending Aurora University online while pursuing my Master’s in Social Work. My career is centered around being patient, dependable, and attentive to individual needs, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for my own dog, Bentley, has given me experience beyond the average pet owner. I adopted him as an 8-week-old puppy from an accidental litter, and over the years I’ve managed his hip issues, bladder disease requiring a strict prescription diet, anxiety, and a collapsing trachea. Because of him, I’m comfortable administering oral medications, following detailed feeding instructions, and adapting to each dog’s unique routine. In addition to Bentley, I’ve cared for more than 15 dogs through house sitting, walks, and pet care for family and friends. I’m most comfortable with small- and medium-sized dogs, including puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special diets. Since I can’t have a dog of my own right now, Rover is the perfect way to combine something I truly enjoy with a flexible schedule while I’m in graduate school. Whether your pup is staying with me for the weekend or just needs an evening walk, I’ll make sure they’re safe, loved, and well cared for. Communication is important to me, so I’m happy to send photo updates and detailed visit summaries as often as you’d like. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll follow your instructions carefully so they feel comfortable while you’re away. My goal is simple: to care for your pets the same way I’d want someone to care for mine, with patience, consistency, lots of love, and plenty of updates along the way. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I’m currently a graduate student attending Aurora University online, which gives me a flexible schedule. I currently offer weekend boarding in my home and evening walks during the week. I’ll always keep my availability up to date, and I’ll only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any routines that help your pet feel at home. I understand that every animal is different, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable. I’m also happy to provide photo updates and detailed check-ins throughout their stay for your peace of mind.

Sam sent lots of pictures during Ruby's stay, which was really appreciated. I have no doubt she was perfectly spoiled and treated like a princess! We will definitely be returning anytime we are out of town. Thank you Sam!!

We were nervous about leaving Winston with a sitter as he generally has only been left with family in his own home previously. We need not have worried. Angelina was just the best. From a pre-board meet and greet at her home to meeting her other dogs we were at ease before he went there and when we dropped him off he was so happy and content. She introduced him slowly to her other dogs so he wasn't overwhelmed and he had the time of his life. Her house is beautifully set up to look after pets. The regular photos and videos not only put our mind at rest but showed him socializing and playing with others and just generally having a good time. I have no hesitation in recommending Angelina in looking after any of your precious pets.

About: I have been taking care of two cats sense they were kittens. I have had dogs in the past with no problems, though I cannot bring pets to my house currently but soon I can. I am very flexible with hours and days. I can fit taking care of animals any time of the day, any day. I am not very busy and I can take almost anything on. I can not take care of pets at my house currently but sooner or later I will be able to so that. I can make sure to keep your pet happy and safe while you are away.

There are no words to express how thankful we are. Traci and her family made our family feel completely at ease while we were away for the very first time. This was our first experience leaving our baby with someone else, and trusting another family to care for him was a big step for us. Traci and her family treated our boy as if he were their own. She kept us updated, which we deeply appreciated, and you can see in the photos just how comfortable and safe he felt. That alone gave us so much peace of mind. For anyone considering care, we highly recommend Traci and her family. They are truly the best. And their dog, Wilfred — the cutest, kindest boy ever — made the experience even sweeter.

About: Hi! I'm Jacqui, and I've been surrounded by cats my entire life. As the proud cat mom of four, I know firsthand that every cat has a unique personality, routine, and way of communicating. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or loves constant attention, I take the time to understand what makes them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. During each visit, I'll provide fresh food and water, clean the litter box, administer basic care as instructed, and spend quality time with your cat based on their individual preferences. Some cats love to play, while others simply appreciate a calm, reassuring presence—and I'm happy to meet them where they are. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I'll treat your cats as if they were my own, providing dependable, compassionate care and keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your feline family! 🐾

This was our first experience with our 1-year-old cat named Stan being away from us. Teresa was amazing at communicating and also would send cute pictures of Stanley. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family who are looking for someone to watch their pet. When me and my fiance went to pick up our little dude he looked absolutely so comfortable outside relaxing in the beautiful weather and looked like he was part of the family. If we ever tend to leave even for a small vacation I would definitely 100% see if Teresa was available to watch our baby. We can't thank you enough Teresa people know how stressful it is to leave their fur babies anywhere but you made this experience so easy and comforting. Rover is lucky to have you respenting them.

Taylor is a great communicator, she gives you daily updates on how your fur baby is doing with pictures and everything. Needless to say we never had to worry for a second about Luna and we will most definitely have her watch Luna again.

Knowing someone was there checking on things made being away from home much less stressful.

Theresa took in our dog on short notice and provided overnight care when we had a bit of a family emergency out of town. She took several photos and provided updates as well.

About: Get ready for your dog to be spoiled! I am the owner of a 7 acre mini Farm home! Your dogs will absolutely love it here! There are lots of trees around and beautiful grass for them to run around in here. I have always been a natural when it comes to pets, but specifically I love dogs, especially really big dogs! I have had dogs my entire life and I now have a small Shepherd Lab mix at home. I make it a priority to make sure that your dogs are well taken care of, well fed, have lots of fun, and get lots of exercise! So it's more than just a regular boarding/walking experience. Also I am a bit of a photographer so plan on getting lots of beautiful pictures of your dog on the farm from me during their visit. I also have two older daughters who are absolute animal lovers and will play and pet your pups consistently while they are here. I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets, I an usually always home unless I am on a call for thr fire station. My land is not fully fenced off so If need be I will have to walk pups on a leash which is not a problem at all.

About: I currently have two small dogs who I take care of full time. I’ve had them for 2 years now. I love playing with dogs, rubbing their tummy, or just hanging out with them. If your dog has separation anxiety that will not be a problem. One of my dogs is the same way and I wouldn’t mind being there full time for your dog. Pet care fits into my schedule perfectly because most of my days consist of being home taking care of my two small dogs. I’m also a nursing student so it helps that I have a lot of time after studying to play with the dogs/puppies. I have a fenced yard. It is pretty big. In order to keep my dogs safe I always make sure doors are closed before letting them out and as a special precaution I like to add an AirTag to their collars in case anything happens (has not happened yet but it’s better to be safe than sorry).

Chris and Dan are wonderful people that treated my GSD like their own. It was a blessing to find them. My dog had a great time running around the yard playing with the other dog. She fell asleep as soon as we got home.

About: Safety is always my number one priority, and snuggles are a close second. While I don’t consider myself a professional dog trainer, I have a lot of hands-on experience training my own dogs and enjoy doing fun, light basic training with pups who are willing participants. Above all, my goal is to make your pet feel completely comfortable and happy in my care whether that means going for walks, getting extra snuggles, or engaging in a little positive, low-pressure training. I work part-time for my family business and have the flexibility to take my work with me anywhere. That means your pet gets plenty of attention and care! I truly love animals and make them a natural part of my daily life, it’s something that brings me a lot of joy and fulfillment I have three playful, friendly, and highly socialized dogs in my home. Crating is available if needed for your pet’s comfort and safety. My yard features a secure 6-foot privacy fence with plenty of space for your dog to run, play, and explore.

Let me start off by saying that Ella was absolutely amazing!!! I mean from start to finish she is phenomenal, her energy is amazing and she took care of my dog so so well!! She communicated the entire time and sent pictures and my dog looked replaced and happy! My dog is usually anxious in the car but for some reason when I picked her up she was relaxed and calmed which ensured she was comfortable and is beginning to recognize that I will always come back got her. Ella you are truly an angel and I look forward to future visits

About: Hi there! My name is Angelina, and I am a dedicated and experienced pet sitter with a passion for caring for cats and dogs of all ages. Over the years, I have developed a deep understanding of the unique needs and behaviors of our furry friends. I have worked with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. From energetic puppies to seniors, I have experience providing the love, attention, and care that each pet deserves. As a pet sitter, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the animals under my care. I am committed to creating a safe and comfortable environment for them and I understand the importance of maintaining their routines and providing them with plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection. I believe in building trust and forming a bond with each pet, ensuring that they feel loved and cared for while their owners are away. I understand the importance of clear communication with pet owners and am always available to provide updates and answer any questions or concerns. If you are looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter who will treat your furry friends as if they were my own, I would be honored to be considered. I am confident that my experience, dedication, and love for animals make me the perfect choice to care for your beloved pets. I work from home so I will always be home and able to provide potty breaks as often as needed. Just let me know if your fur baby has any specific needs and I’ll work to accommodate them. I have a large fenced yard and my own dogs to keep your dog company. I have a large doggie playpen and crates if you prefer your fur baby to be crated or separated from my fur babies. I have baby gates to keep dogs in or out of specific areas of the house while I am working (from home) and I use pet cameras to keep an eye on them while working in my home office. I’m happy to send pictures or video updates of your fur babies while you are away so you can have peace of mind and enjoy your vacation or time away while knowing your babies are in a safe environment. My dogs are small/medium, friendly, and not aggressive.

About: I am the second oldest of 8 kids and I have taken care of pets and kids ever since I was little. I love cats and dogs and get along well with many breeds but prefer small dogs because of strength and we have a huge yard but it’s not fenced in. I am currently available 24/7 and just have small increments of time I would be gone for a doctors appointment occasionally so I can take the dog out often. We keep them well fed and hydrated and cuddle for cats and dog and for the dog we also let him out on the long chain or my son takes him from a walk because he is a larger breed.

About: I've been a dog owner for 20 years. Over the last 10 years, friends, family and neighbors have entrusted me with taking care of their dogs. 2 years ago, I took on the venture of fostering dogs in my home. My experience with them has been with puppies through adult dogs. Special needs dogs are welcome too, as I have experience with dogs with seizure disorder and other chronic issues. During the time the foster dogs are in my care, I work to establish a routine, learn basic commands and household manners. I work from home Monday-Friday. My pets (and fosters) stay in my office with me when I working. I am able to care for your pets during my breaks, lunchtime and after hours. My weekends can be a bit more busy, but I can be flexible in working with your needs. I have a small fenced in yard for the dogs to stretch their legs, enjoy the outdoors, and of course relieve themselves. Indoors, I do have crates available if your dogs needs some alone, quiet time. My dogs have their own room to offer a safe space for them. The dogs are never left unattended to ensure they don't get into something they are not suppose to. If watching the dog in your home, I will follow any instructions that you give to ensure your dog's safety and happiness.

About: Hi! My family has had dogs my whole life and I currently have a dog myself, she is 4 years old. While i’m newer to pet sitting, I’m responsible, patient, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I already take daily walks as part of my routine, so caring for pets fits in very naturally. I enjoy having a dog join me—it makes the time more enjoyable while ensuring they get consistent, relaxed exercise. For dog walks, I make sure they get safe, relaxed exercise during my daily walking time. I pay attention to their pace, energy level, and comfort, and I always keep them on a secure leash. At my home, I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely spend time outside for potty breaks and fresh air. I make sure they are always supervised and safe while outdoors.

Chanse was top tier and made my puppy’s stay the best it could be! She worked with him on his house breaking, playing with her children, helping him fall asleep when anxious, and helping when he had an upset tummy by feeding him chicken and rice. This was my first time boarding my puppy and I have to say, working with Chanse was well worth the 45 minute drive out to Janesville. Thank you so much Chanse, I will definitely be booking again with you on my next trip!

About: I’ve had pets all my life. My family is full of animal lovers and they know they can rely on me if they need someone to care for their pet for any reason. I have experience with end of life care for cats, administering pills and fluids to cats, and feeding cats by mouth with a syringe. For example, one of my cats has a hyperthyroid and acid reflux and takes pills to manage it, and another has arthritis and takes a liquid medication orally to manage it. I primarily have experience caring for cats, dogs and hamsters. Petsitting is my focus, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m normally available for house sitting both weekdays and weekends, however I do have my own obligations and pets of my own to care for, so I must be able to leave for ~4 to 5 hours at some times. Due to this, I am not always able to accept requests for constant care (meaning pets who cannot be left alone for more than 1-3 hours, as an example). I spend as much quality time with my clients as I can, giving them plenty of love and attention. I love cuddling with them if they’re cuddlers and using their favorite toys when I play with them. I cannot take on higher energy dogs to care for, as I cannot provide them with the stimulation and exercise they need to thrive. In addition to Rover’s Guarantee, I am insured and bonded through PCI.

I am patient, attentive, and exceedingly open to play time with your dog. It's my goal to make both you and your pet happy by walking, checking in on them, or staying with them.

I'm looking for ways to make extra money when not at work so any time I'm not working I'm available to help care for your furry family member Pets aren't just pets. They're family.

About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve helped look after dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from high-energy pups to shy seniors who need a gentler touch. Friends, neighbors, and family regularly rely on me because I’m attentive, patient, and truly enjoy spending time with their pets. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved, whether we’re playing, going for walks, or just relaxing together. Your pet will get reliable care and plenty of affection while they’re with me. I have 1 year dog kennel experience that inspired me to become a vet assistant to hopefully start my own commercial business in the future! Thank you for considering me and contributing to my experience it is greatly appreciated and your animals will be treated like my own! I’m in school studying to become a veterinary assistant, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. My class schedule is flexible, giving me lots of availability on weekends and most weekdays. Since animal care is already a big part of my life, I’m able to provide consistent attention, playtime, and reliability for your pets. I do online. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first when im caring for them in your home, follow your feeding, potty, and exercise routine so they feel secure and settled. If you don’t really have a route with pups and are a go with the flow person like I am I can provide, 8-10 potty’s breaks and lots of attention. For safety during walks in my neighborhood, there are no sidewalks so we walk against traffic so we can see oncoming cars with dogs on the right side of me farthest away from the road in grass. In the winter, I follow a cold-weather walking policy for safety: if it’s too cold for me in an t shirt it’s too cold for them! Usually requests winter weather gear like boots and coat but one can be provided(washed after every use with pet safe detergent). (Black puffer and no slip socks.) Night time walking- don’t worry about the days getting darker I’ve got it covered with my reflective gear, flashlight, collar light clips, and more. Thank you for understanding and helping keep your pet safe!

About: Hello! My name is abbey. I'm using rover to help me fund my cancer treatment! I figured, I LOVE animals, so why not do something that makes me happy to try to help come up with what I need? 😁 Please note, my response time is only low because I went away and forgot to set my profile to unavailable - I respond immediately to all messages! The longest it takes me is 2-3 hours! Ive always been passionate about caring for animals, ever since I was a kid. I used to take care of my families, friends and neighbors pets as a hobby growing up. Since then I have been on and off taking care of people's animals as well as my own. I have a lot of experience with both large and small dogs, timid, friendly and sassy dogs. I also have experience with taking care of cats and animals who have needed medication or special attention from disabilities or age, as well as nursing dogs and their babies too! I have a lot of free time, so your pets will receive my full attention and time! I can work days, nights, mornings or evenings. For dog walking-I have knowledge of good and safe leash use, and am always extra careful walking with pets to insure their safety. I have a good eye and great sense of security with animals so they tend to trust me, too. Drop in vists/house sitting- I always make sure the house is clean, and I clean up any accidents that may have happened when no one was there. I will insure your animal is their happy and healthy self, with no behavior changes or worrying symptoms. If anything we're to occure, I would immediately let you know. I make sure they are fed and have clean fresh water. If needed, I will do mild grooming for free, i.e; brushing their coat, cleaning ears, a gentle face wash, just the basics. If you have cats, I will also make sure their litter box is clean every day I come in!

About: I love every pet I meet, I am comfortable around big dogs and angry cats, we always figure it out! I have experience taking care of kittens and puppies, as well as senior cats. Most animals like my vibe, but I understand that some pets simply aren't fans of visitors, especially when their humans aren't home. I always give them a chance to warm up to me, but I know when my presence is causing more stress than comfort. Working from home, my schedule is completely flexible! I am generally always available to take all the time and care your pets deserve during our play-date! I will spend as much time as I can with the pets. I usually throw in an earbud, check the home for any accidents, and then pet or play with them as much as they like!

About: Get ready for your dog to be spoiled! I am the owner of a 7 acre mini Farm home! Your dogs will absolutely love it here! There are lots of trees around and beautiful grass for them to run around in here. I have always been a natural when it comes to pets, but specifically I love dogs, especially really big dogs! I have had dogs my entire life and I now have a small Shepherd Lab mix at home. I make it a priority to make sure that your dogs are well taken care of, well fed, have lots of fun, and get lots of exercise! So it's more than just a regular boarding/walking experience. Also I am a bit of a photographer so plan on getting lots of beautiful pictures of your dog on the farm from me during their visit. I also have two older daughters who are absolute animal lovers and will play and pet your pups consistently while they are here. I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets, I an usually always home unless I am on a call for thr fire station. My land is not fully fenced off so If need be I will have to walk pups on a leash which is not a problem at all.

About: Hello! My name is Gracie, a graduate student living in the Carbondale area. I'm looking for furry walking buddies to make some extra money in my free time. From growing up on my family's hobby farm and watching friend's pets, I have over 9 years of experience caring for dogs and other types of animals, both small and large. I have a wonderful cat named Whispy. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you're in need of animal care. I look forward to meeting you and your dog (or other fur babies). You're welcome to send me a message with any or all inquires. I'd love to get to know you dog or other pet more. In the meantime, have a wonderful day! I’m currently job hunting after graduation, so my current availability is very flexible to suit your schedule. I am willing to work around your schedule to meet your pet care needs. I usually spend my time accompanying the pets when I’m animal sitting for my clients. I can’t help myself but play with pets when they’re nearby, so expect lots of exercise and enrichment :)

Sumer was perfect! This is my first time using Rover and I was very apprehensive leaving my baby with someone I did not know. From the very first message, I felt more and more comfortable. When the time came to drop Raven off, I saw how she reacted to Sumer and I was immediately at ease. I trust dogs’ reactions to people. Her spirit is so welcoming and I knew my baby was in good hands. I received multiple updates and pics throughout the stay. I love that she was allowed on furniture and able to be cuddles like she is at home. She looked happy in every pic and it made me feel so much better while I was away. 10/10! Raven will be back :-) Thank you!

Tanya was amazing with Winston! He can be a very nervous boy, but he felt completely comfortable with Tanya and her family. We also had the pleasure of booking at the same time as Winston’s cousin, Gus, so the two of them got to play together the entire time we were away. 😜 It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Winston was happy, relaxed, and having the best time!

Sam took excellent care of our 12 year old pup Ruby. As soon as we arrived I could tell Ruby would be in great hands as Sam is a really warm and kind person. They have a lovely home too. Sam sent lots of pictures during Ruby's stay, which was really appreciated. I have no doubt she was perfectly spoiled and treated like a princess! We will definitely be returning anytime we are out of town. Thank you Sam!!

About: I have been taking care of two cats sense they were kittens. I have had dogs in the past with no problems, though I cannot bring pets to my house currently but soon I can. I am very flexible with hours and days. I can fit taking care of animals any time of the day, any day. I am not very busy and I can take almost anything on. I can not take care of pets at my house currently but sooner or later I will be able to so that. I can make sure to keep your pet happy and safe while you are away.

About: Hi! My family has had dogs my whole life and I currently have a dog myself, she is 4 years old. While i’m newer to pet sitting, I’m responsible, patient, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I already take daily walks as part of my routine, so caring for pets fits in very naturally. I enjoy having a dog join me—it makes the time more enjoyable while ensuring they get consistent, relaxed exercise. For dog walks, I make sure they get safe, relaxed exercise during my daily walking time. I pay attention to their pace, energy level, and comfort, and I always keep them on a secure leash. At my home, I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely spend time outside for potty breaks and fresh air. I make sure they are always supervised and safe while outdoors.

We were nervous to tryout Rover but couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for our fur baby. Ali treated our dog as if he was her own and also made sure we got several updates throughout his stay with her. We highly recommend Ali and will be a returning customer for sure!

About: We have had a dog or dogs for over 20 years. My husband and I both grew up with dogs as well. Our two dogs have been with us since they were puppies and both of them attended three levels of dog training classes. I work part-time very early in the morning and we spend a lot of time at home because my kids are homeschooled. There is usually always someone at home. I will do as much as I can to accommodate the dog owner’s preference in care for their dog. We have two dogs that can play with your dog. If your dog needs to be in a crate I can accommodate that. Our dogs are not allowed on the couches and chairs but my children do let them sleep in their beds.
