“Kent is a lifesaver! It was the weekend of my daughter’s wedding and I had a sitter scheduled and had even dropped my dog off. Unfortunately, my sitters dog had a medical emergency and I had to pick up my dog within hours of dropping her off. I was so nervous, having to find another sitter for a weekend stay, starting the same day, without having met the potential sitter, all while trying to finish up last minute wedding preparations. Enter Kent! I reached out to several Rover sitters as I knew it was going to be tough to find someone so last minute. Kent was one of a few to respond positively, which was amazing to actually have options at this point! I read Kent’s bio and he sounded so kind and it was apparent that he loved dogs. I am thrilled to say that he exceeded my expectations!! He and my pup, Alice, got along so well and he clearly loved her. He sent lovely updates and photos of her throughout the weekend. I will definitely be using Kent again to watch my dog. I truly couldn’t be happier with how the weekend went. I was able to fully concentrate on my daughter’s wedding without a worry about my Alice. Thank you, Kent!!”
“Arielle was wonderful with Charlie! She kept me updated, took great care of him, and made sure he felt comfortable. I really appreciate her kindness and patience. Highly recommend!”
“I was nervous to board my 17-year-old dog, but Lyn's experience gave me comfort. I knew I made the right call when I dropped my dog off. Lyn's family was welcoming and made me and my dog feel like we made the right decision. Lyn sent pictures and updates while I was gone, so I didn't have to worry. I would definitely board with Lyn again!”
“Michelle did a wonderful job caring for my puppy, Mabel. She was an excellent communicator, kept me updated and sent the cutest photos throughout Mabel's stay. As anyone with a puppy knows, they can be full of energy and a little chaotic at times, but Michelle handled Mabel's craziness with patience and confidence.”
“Amberley was wonderful - communicative, flexible, incredibly kind and took wonderful care of Wrigley on short notice. We especially appreciated photos and updates and the frequent walks and outside time he got in her care. So thankful!”
“Cheryl was courteous, honest, understanding and easy person to deal with. She took good care of our dog, provided updates and pics and we would go back to Cheryl for any of our future boarding needs.”
“Simba had a great time with Allis Im sure he will miss being over there. Allis is a great sitter, sends videos and pictures throughout stay and you can tell she truly cares about your pet as if her own. Definitely recommend her and will be booking with her in future.”
“I knew right away that Valentina was going to be a great fit for my dogs and me! Valentina was responded very quickly to my request, we had an opportunity to meet in advance and my dogs immediately fell in love with this darling gal AND her huge fenced back yard! My dogs were so happy staying with Valentina, loved the daily walks and they were immediately treated like family in her comfortable, dog friendly home! I sure appreciated getting texts and photos daily! My dogs were happy! And I am too : really gave me great peace of mind to know my " fur babies" were getting lots of love and attention while I was away for an extended period of time! I HIGHLY recommend Valentina! Hire her!”
“Bonnie and her family were just wonderful with our 8 month old puppy for a week! Bonnie is super organized and experienced knowing the right questions and leaving you feeling super confident about your pup’s care. Loved the daily updates and pictures. Our boy was treated as part of their family ❤️”

I felt like I was actually able to relax knowing my babies were so well taken care of. Very grateful to find her!”

“Janette and Charles are the greatest. We were anxious about leaving our dog with a new sitter while on vacation for a week, but based on the daily photos and videos they shared with us, our dog Stevie had a terrific time. Stevie enjoyed playing in their huge fenced in yard with other dogs and snoozing on the couch after running around all day. Janette and Charles took great care of our fur baby and we will be sure to book with them again soon.”

“Excellent pet sitter. I really appreciate that Ashley takes such care with them and by now really knows their personalities and quirks. She is very reliable and caring.”
About: Being a bunny owner, I take a very patient approach towards each animal I am caring for. I prefer to know their habits and quirks before I begin our journey of knowing each other. I pay very close attention to each animals body language and move forwards based on that. Growing up I was extremely obsessed with my families dogs and cats. My first pet was a grey cockatiel bird that I rescued, shortly after I got my first yellow lab. Ever since, I have been very involved in taking care of many of my family or friends pets while they are away. I have taken care of extremely small puppies, fish, birds, bunnies, and cats, to nervous, and anxious big labs ! I heavily enjoy spending time next to a furry creature and I even have a bunny of my own named Diva. She has been a very long lesson in attention to attitude when it comes to handling an animal. I am more than available during the day or night to take care of any animal, I do not have a current job so I am free during awkward hours. I make sure to follow the directions my clients have left for me, I often ask more information on the personality of the animal so I understand our boundaries !

“Yesi was absolutely great with our two cats and did a phenomenal job house sitting. She took care of everything perfectly and went above and beyond to take extra precautions during the Covid-19 pandemic. She even took the initiative to do some tasks like watering plants that we did not ask of her. Overall we were extremely impressed and will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Corinne is the absolute best! I couldn't have asked for better. She is wonderfully conscientious and flexible, but even more important, she is loving. Our cat, Sammy, has a new best friend. I will never worry about him when we have to be out of town now. Thank you, Corinne!”

“Kasia accommodated my very last minute day-of request to watch my dog who is having really bad separation anxiety. She was so kind, friendly, and upbeat, and I was able to go to work without worrying.”
“Michelle is amazing, the absolute best! I felt so comfortable leaving my pup with her. She is extremely patient and accommodating. When I was late on pickup due to my crazy hours as a nurse, she was extremely sweet and flexible. My puppy is young and still learning and she was very adaptable with her. I love that my pup was able to socialize with her little ones which allowed her to have fun while getting some energy out. I’m so happy to have found someone that loved and cared for my girl as much as I do! I highly recommend her and will be using her again for daycare!”
About: I've had a dog pretty much at all times since I was 6. My home is affectionately called The Pound, to some, it's called Club Bow Wow. As an adult I had a Jack Russell that crossed the rainbow when she was 17 years old. We had so much fun together, even in her senior years when her lifestyle changed. My current dog Bailey Rose was a rescue that truly found me at a time I thought I was not going to get a dog again. The moment I saw her, I knew she was going to be mine! Since adopting Bailey I have fostered 6 pups and she has been the best foster sister. My home has had up to 6 family dogs at the same time, hence the name The Pound. Whether it be for a visit or for sitting dogs love to be here because the feel the love and energy from me! I've boarded dogs for weeks at a time, although I prefer to board for shorter time. We take daily walks and play in my large yard multiple times a day. Your dog will be in safe loving hands with me and they will definitely have a fun time with Team Maggie and Bailey at The Pound. I work from home Monday thru Friday. My work time is pretty flexible so I can take breaks as needed for walks/check-in/playtime. I am also available on weekends as needed. I have a large fenced in yard. My home has space for your dog to freely roam and I have the space to crate if that is your preference. I have dog beds in my office while I work if your pup likes to be near their human friends.
About: I grew up around many different breeds of dogs. My family calls me the dog whisperer. Building trust from young puppies to older pups. Also, making sure they are fed, going on walks, and getting bathed as needed. I’m available for boarding on the weekends! I’m a home body so I stay home on the weekend. I’ll have plenty of time to play and care for your pup! I love to give pups cuddles and playing fetch. With summer heat coming around, I have introduced a dog pool to help keep my puppy cool. I love providing new ice treats that are refreshing and delicious!
“Danielle and her family were wonderful with Blackie. He's a lab mix that can be a little anxious when he is away from us, but they treated Blackie like their own. If the pup is happy, we are happy and we plan to use Danielle again!”

“Dave is by far the best dogsitter I’ve ever had on Rover. Dave is the sweetest person, he has a beautiful soul - my little pup Henri was at his house every day for two weeks straight, including weekends, and he was always so happy to go with Dave. Dave always sent me lots of photos and told me how he was doing with the other dogs. I was so reassured to have such an amazing place for Henri to go during my intensive training. Thank you so much Dave, I’m sure our paths will cross again. And thank you to Rover for bringing people like Dave into our lives!”

She sent us pictures and updates and it looked like he was getting lots of love too. She sent Buddy home with a goody bag full of doggie treats! Such a nice touch and so thoughtful. Thank you Bonnie!”

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I offer calm, attentive, one-on-one boarding in a clean and peaceful home. As a former groomer, I’m skilled in handling anxious, shy, or energetic dogs, and I’m confident in brushing, basic hygiene care, and reading canine body language. I currently have one friendly Shiba Inu at home, and I only host one client at a time—ensuring your dog receives my full attention and a safe, low-stress environment. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, slow walks, or quiet company, I adjust my care based on their routine and comfort level. Feel free to send me a message—I'd love to learn about your dog and how I can make their stay feel like home. Your dog’s care is naturally built into my daily routine. We start the morning with a refreshing walk, breakfast, and some calm bonding time. Throughout the day, your dog will enjoy structured potty breaks, enrichment games, and plenty of supervised relaxation. You will receive updates during these key moments—morning, afternoon, and evening—so you’ll always know how your dog is settling in. I stay closely aligned with your dog’s normal schedule to reduce stress and help them feel at home quickly. Consistency, supervision, and comfort are always my priorities. I provide full-time supervision when boarding, maintain a clean living space, and follow each dog’s feeding, medication, and potty schedule exactly as instructed. Dogs are never left unsupervised around my Shiba Inu, and introductions are done slowly and safely. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout the day so you always know how your dog is doing.
“Bob, so thankful for your attentiveness, kindness, and care to our puppies. I appreciate your flexibility and always going the extra mile. So glad you were there for us on our expected and unexpected trips to Illinois!”

“Katarina was so patient with Luna and I appreciated the whole process from the intro to the pick up!! She made me and Luna feel extremely welcomed and shared plenty of pictures. I would absolutely use her again and would recommend! 10 out of 10, no notes!”
About: I have taken care of various animals since I was 16, ranging from chickens, roosters and parakeets, to hamsters, guinea pigs, cats and dogs. I have helped birth and take care of newborn puppies. I have open availability for either in-home care or boarding during the week and on Saturdays. I am available morning, day and night for either full care and company, or just a daily walk. I will take care of your pet or pets as if they were at home, whether they're actually at home, or in my own home.
“Gracie had a wonderful time. She was very, very well taken care of. I had pictures at least twice a day that made me feel that she was so safe. She seemed happy and having a very good time and very comfortable. I will not hesitate to use Susan again if I need Gracie to be watched, they’re very nice people. I feel that I have also made new friends for life.”
“I was very anxious about leaving my girls while I was on vacation. But Thomas and Kelly took great care of them and sent lots of pictures to ease my mind. I was able to enjoy my vacation much more since I knew my girls were in good hands.”
“Our lively viszla pup had a great time with Elise. She was very responsive and caring in the lead up to his stay, and we even had a meet and greet beforehand to ensure we could pass on all instructions… He was well exercised and well loved during the eight days or so that we were gone. We received lots of photos, and he came back with some excellent manners.”
“Danielle was awesome, and totally put us at ease for Mack’s first time staying away from home without mom and dad. Danielle and her family treated Mack like one of their own, sent frequent text and photo updates, and Danielle even slept on the couch with Mack the first night since he was not quite settled in. Anytime we need to board Mack, Danielle will be our first choice!”
“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”
“Joe was SO great with our new puppy Chase. He even helped with some beginner training. He sent multiple updates daily which we loved seeing when we were away. We will definitely be using Joe in the future.”
“Melissa is amazing! She kept me updated daily and even sent pictures!! I felt at ease knowing my pup was been very well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her!”
“This was our second time leaving Maggie with Robert, and once again, it was a great experience. He sent regular updates with videos and pictures, which made it so easy to feel comfortable while we were away. Maggie got tons of playtime and socialization with the other pups, and she came home happy and tired. We really appreciate the care Robert gives her and will definitely book with him again in the future!”
“Maricela was absolutely wonderful! Sent regular updates about my babies and helped me feel better about leaving them. Absolutely wonderful person and would recommend her to anybody! She is a wonderful dog caregiver.”
“Phoebe liked Will the second she met him. She pulled toward him and had no problem when he took over the lead. This is all I needed to feel comfortable leaving her with Will. It was a 10 day stay and Will was absolutely amazing. I am super thankful for Will and definitely recommend him.”
