“Pebbles really enjoyed her stay with Sarah! Sarah was great at communicating and kept us updated with pics while we were away. Highly recommend and will be using Sarah again for our pup!”
“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.”
“Once again Jo’Elle knocked it out the park! Jo’Elle is a top notch sitter! We have no problem leaving Aggie with her. Jo’Elle is caring, accommodating and an all around amazing pup sitter! We’ve left Agatha with her several times through out the years, and will not hesitate to do it again! Thank you Jo’Elle!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Justine! Her love for animals is very evident. She is wonderful with communication and sent pictures and updates every day. She was also very accommodating with a few last minute changes that we made. I highly recommend Justine and Brett!”
“Super flexible with my dog. Made her feel comfortable in her new environment. They took lots of pics and sent to me throughout my time away. My dog came back tired but happy. Thank you”
“Michelle and Erika were great! They provided plenty of updates, photos and even videos during my dogs stay. They were friendly and reassuring and I will definitely use them again for future stays.”
“Yoda came home very content. By the pictures Amanda and Anton sent he looked like he was getting spoiled and was happy about it. They did a wonderful job taking care of Yoda”
“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!”
“Mary was amazing with our dog, Kobe! This was our first time leaving him with someone who wasn’t family, and she immediately put us at ease. She sent multiple updates, pictures, and videos each day, and it was clear he was happy and well cared for. We’d absolutely book with her again!”
“This was our first time leaving our pup for more than a few days and needless to say we were only a little tightly wound about it. But Shirley made us feel like we could breathe on our travels and actually be present in the moments. Not only did she keep him loved and cared for, but she was the ultimate documentarian, showering us with plenty of pics and videos to never feel left out. I would highly recommend Shirley for any pet care taking needs, and would love to have her watch Kaito again.”
“My dogs are a pair that only get along with each other. They had not been cared for out of our home or by a total stranger. She kept them in their own "space" while other pets came in for day time a few hours day care. They were taken good care of and the one who had "upset stomach" before I left came home with the problem 80% resolved. I can now take a vacation for a week or two and have peace of mind and heart. ”
“Danielle is amazing. She is unbelievably kind and accommodating. I really just needed some daycare once, maybe twice, for my pup while moving, but I could tell off the bat she cares about every dog that comes through her door. I ended up doing a handful of daycare days and boarding him. I know my dog can be a pain. He is an anxious old boy and can be high-maintenance at times. I had such peace of mind sending my dog to her. She sent me photos and updates. The only downside is I didn’t find her sooner before moving away. I got to pick up a tired, happy boy every time. If I ever need to board my dog again, I will definitely be making the drive to send him to her!”
“Simply the best! This is our first time leaving our Bruno with a dog sitter and Christina made it so comforting and easy for us. Great communication and her love of animals is evident by her care. 5+ 🐾”
“Lynda took good care of our 14-year-old girl while we were out of town for a week. Lulu immediately took to Lynda, which isn’t a given due to her advanced age. Lulu also has some age-related special needs. Lynda’s home is pretty ideal for accommodating a senior dog. Her backyard is fully fenced. Lulu was lucky to find Lynda and enjoyed her stay.”
“I was very nervous about leaving my dog especially using an app. My neighbor normally keeps my dog when I travel so this was hard for me. Quandra did a meet and greet with Harvey before his stay and he was comfortable with her. When I took Harvey to stay he ran right into her house. Quandra sent pictures and took great care of Harvey ?❤️”
“Linda was amazing. We were nervous leaving our dog with someone other than family for the first time and she made everything stress-free. Our puppy had a blast and settled in amazing all weekend which is a testament to Linda! I highly recommend Linda for all services!”
“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!”
“We are so incredibly grateful for the amazing care Wayne provided for Miller! He was truly the best—so personable, caring, and attentive from start to finish. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Miller was in such good hands; Wayne kept us fully updated the entire time while providing top-notch care. We are beyond happy and will definitely be using his services again and again!”
“Beryl was great to work with, and I would definitely want to book her again. She is organized and prompt in her communication and super reliable with rover responsibilities. Plus the dog (s) were a big fan of hers as well. They knew they were safe and well-cared for. Thanks Beryl!”
“This is the second time we have used Connie and we were happy yet again! Our dog was so excited to come in and be with Connie and Jojo at drop off. She sent pictures and kept in touch while we were away. Marco is blind, so I am sure he is extra work, but Connie has been amazing and we will use her again!! Thanks so much!!”

“Ashley was the first Rover sitter we used, and we are so happy with the service she provided. She gave us detailed notes about each visit. She sent pics of each cat every day, so I knew they were ok. She brought in the mail and took out the garbage. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Dawn was absolutely amazing. She did drop in visits for my 2 cats when we were out of town. She sent lots of pictures and made sure to play with the cats as well. Will definitely be using Dawn again”
“Claudia was so great with our 2 cats! They loved her & warmed up to her right away!!! She is very kind, prompt & so willing to help! Her messages & pictures of the animals while you're away, let's you know they are well taken care of!! Claudia will always be my first choice!!!!”
“Miroslava was such an amazing help with my cat, Coco. She came in few days before her appointment to familiarize herself with Coco and his routine. She was very punctual and caring. I received updates and pictures when she visited. My cat absolutely loved her! I have had a very positive experience. Would definitely try to book her services again the next time I have to travel.”
“Absolutely without a doubt one of the best cat sitters we have EVER had. Amberley and her husband Matt went above and beyond to slowly introduce my cats to their new surroundings - to the point where they were sleeping with the cats in a separate room to ensure their comfort and care. They went above and beyond a normal “sitter” service. I would 100% recommend them without hesitation. Communication, pictures, etc. were all consistent, prompt and reassuring. Thank you Amberley and Matt!?”
“Sophie is the best - we are grateful with how diligent she is with Cappy, a 13 year old Savannah (think - huge bengal) who does so well with her. Thank you, Sophie!”
“Joan was wonderful to my kitty, Annie, while I was away for a week. She took time to get to know Annie before I left and was very communicative throughout the week. Annie is a shy girl, but Joan’s patience and kind heart encouraged Annie to make an appearance while I was away. Would absolutely love to have Joan look in on any of my pets. She’s such an angel!”
About: Cats have been a big part of my animal care experience, and I understand that they have very specific needs, routines, and personalities. During my time working at a local animal hospital, I cared for cats daily- handling feeding, cleaning and maintaining their spaces, administering medications, and closely observing behaviors to catch anything out of the ordinary. I worked alongside a veterinary team, so I know how to recognize when something seems off and who to loop in when it does. I understand that cats can be particular about their environment and cautious around new people, and I take that seriously. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers things quiet and on their own terms, I'll observe and adjust my care to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Outside of the hospital, I've cared for cats for neighbors and family members and have a genuine love for getting to know each cat's unique personality. Your cat will be in experienced, caring hands fed on schedule, their space kept clean, their health monitored, and their quirks respected when under my care.
About: I have extensive experience with specialized senior feline care. From 2021 to 2024, I looked after a sweet senior cat named Raja. Following a tumor removal surgery years prior, he had no teeth and required a very careful approach to his daily routine. Though I was told he had outgrown playtime due to his age, I used patience and gentle encouragement to prove that old cats can still love to play. I will bring that same dedicated, observant care to your cat.
“This is the second time we've had Gina watch our cats. We got great photo updates, and the cats seemed very content when we got home! The less mad they are at us for leaving, the better time they had while we were away!”
“Stephanie was fantastic! She was flexible with the schedule and so good with our boys! She sent great photos and updates; it really set our minds at ease knowing she’d be there to take care of their daily needs. The cats were in great spirits when we got back and I know they were happy to have her check in on them while we were away. 10/10 would recommend 🙌🏻”
“Great drop-in visit! Our pup was well cared for, and it was such a relief knowing she was in good hands while we were away. We loved receiving the updates and photos. Thank you for taking such great care of her—we’d definitely book again!”
“Caitlin handled my three needy kitties with ease, kindness, and professionalism. One kitty needed subcutaneous fluids as well as a twice daily pill and Caitlin was able to administer all without issue. Thank you Caitlin! We will gladly use you again!”
About: I’ve had extensive experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities, including a time when I owned 11 cats. That experience taught me how to manage everything from feeding routines to litter box maintenance to monitoring health, behavior, and social dynamics. I understand every cat has it’s own personality - some want constant attention, while others prefer space and quiet companionship. Whether your cat is playful , shy, independent, or affectionate, I ensure they feel stress-free while you’re away!
About: Hi i’m Trinity! I’m 26 currently working as a full time Executive Assistant running a professional haunted house. 🦇 I’m a lover of all things Halloween and when i’m not occupied with work, I love spending time with pets! I don’t have any of my own at the moment, but it’s something I’m trying to save up for! I have become a local favorite for neighbors and friends! I have years of experience with high energy, elderly, and special needs dogs. I’ve had family pets my whole life so I have plenty of experience with basic care as well. Aside from the usual errand runs, I am normally home during the day - so the pets will have minimal alone time! As long as you approve, your pup can be attached to my hip 🖤 My booking calendar is updated frequently, so the current availability should be accurate. Let’s connect and see if it works! To ensure the safety of the pets, I only host one family at a time. At my home, pups are more than welcome to lounge on the furniture. I provide clean bowls, toys, along with sniff pads and frozen treats! We have a back patio that is not fenced in, but there is a lead we can attach to the collar so they can stay within sight. Walks through the neighborhood are always an option as well! ✨Can provide multiple references ✨

“Michelle was great!! I feel so lucky to have found her on the site!! She went above and beyond, sending me pictures and updates throughout the day. Also, she was willing and patient to work with my dog even though she is still a puppy. I truly felt relieved to know she was in Michelle's hands! I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Danielle was so flexible, responsive and accommodating to my changing plans. And most importantly, my Ava had an absolute blast! Such a comforting feeling to know she’s being so well taken care of. Will definitely rebook. Thanks again!”
“I found her home well prepared and situated to dog sit. What I really found amazing was that she was able to take Duke on a long walk. Definitely a good experience and look forward to booking with her again.”
“Joey, our dog, felt very comfortable immediately as soon as she saw Ingrida. We were happy that she was very flexible to accommodate our obstacles. They have a very nice family environment. Thanks for caring for our dog with special needs.”
“Justine and Brett were fantastic! By the time I picked up my little pup, he was all tired out from all the attention and playtime they had with him. So grateful to them for watching my pet!”
“Jean and Al did a great job taking care of Ardal and making sure he was happy and safe playing with their other clients. I got back a very happy, very tired puppy. Thanks again!”
About: 30 years of taking care of my own dogs and cats. We have had almost every experience possible in that time. Our pets are well loved and taken care of. Would love to also take care of yours! We can also groom your dog while staying with us. Self employed. Absolutely flexible. I have the ability to give each pet personalized attention. Great neighborhood for long walks. Animals have free run of the house. Fenced yard. Animals usually run free in home. Long walk per day. Can feed specialized diets and or give medications. Love older dogs who need a little more love.
“Bach spent a quiet restful day with Emily and family. He was very happy and well cared for. Even though it was the first visit and only for a day, he seemed very happy and peaceful when we picked him up. It's always difficult to introduce a dog to a new "friend" and household but Emily made it easy and comfortable for Bach. Bach recommends her!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I started highschool. Before becoming a sitter on this app I walked, bathed, feed, and over night stayed with my neighbors, family, and friends dogs of all different breeds big too small. I am prepared to take the stress out of your hands and have some fun with your pets. I am currently a dental student at Midwestern University in Downer Groove. I have class and exams during the week but my schedule is flexible. If I am not at school the rest of my day is based mainly at my apartment studying so I have a bunch of time for your pets. I live in a apartment with one roomate and no pets. I am a very active person so I often go on walks when it’s not to snowy or cold out. I also have cared for pets my whole life and have a very pet friendly apartment that is clean and safe for your pets.
“Spartacus had a blast he had so much fun he came home, laid right out and went to sleep. Jo'Ell S. Was very accommodating and very pleasant. Spartacus will be returning”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. My love for animals comes from raising my own dogs, especially my sweet girl, Roxi, whom I was fortunate to have from the time she was a puppy until she crossed the Rainbow Bridge in February 2026 at 15 years old. Caring for her through every stage of life gave me firsthand experience with senior dog care, medication schedules, mobility assistance, and the extra patience, compassion, and love that aging pets deserve. I'm comfortable maintaining feeding routines, administering oral medications, providing potty breaks, and recognizing when a dog's behavior or health seems out of the ordinary. I understand that every dog has a different personality, energy level, and comfort needs, and I adapt my care to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved. For puppies, I'm happy to reinforce the training and routines you're already working on, including crate training, potty schedules, basic commands, and positive reinforcement. I know consistency is important, and I'll follow your instructions to help keep your puppy on track. You'll also receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, comfortable, and in caring hands. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I work a hybrid full-time position, which allows me flexibility throughout the week. I carefully manage my calendar and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to, ensuring every pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it's morning walks, evening visits, overnight stays, or weekend care, I plan my schedule around each pet's needs. I believe reliability and consistency are just as important as love and affection, so I make it a priority to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible.

“Neelank and Diana are the kindest petsitters. Snoopy had such a good time playing outside with their 2 dogs Porter & Oliver. They took care of Snoopy as he was their own dog. Definitely would recommend them if you are searching a trustworthy place for your dog to stay a day or more.”
About: Hello pet parents! Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I gained a deep lifelong respect for animal care by raising a variety of several pets. This lifelong background means your beloved pup isn't just getting a sitter—they are staying with a highly experienced caretaker who understands animal behavior and needs. I also have 2 grand-pups who are adorable and who I love, have stayed with me at length, boarded and lived with me. I provide a fun, loving, and completely stress-free environment specifically tailored for small to medium-sized dogs. Because I am home full-time, and typically always available, your pup will enjoy constant companionship, interactive playtime, walks to the park, and frequent potty breaks in the fenced in yard, without ever being left alone. I currently work from home and have the availability at home full-time, meaning your dog will enjoy constant companionship. I structure our days around frequent potty breaks every 2 to 3 hours, interactive backyard playtime, and relaxing afternoon naps. Because I don't work away from home, your pup will never be left unsupervised. Your dog will be staying in a spacious, pet-friendly 4-bedroom home designed for comfort. They will have access to a fully fenced backyard perfect for zoomies, playing fetch, plus a living room overflowing with fun toys to keep them happily entertained. Whether they prefer chasing balls outside or curling up on a cozy couch for belly rubs, my home is their ultimate home-away-from-home!
About: We’re a dog-loving couple who genuinely enjoy having dogs around, and we’d love to welcome your pup into our home! We have a friendly, easygoing Golden Retriever/ Australian Shepherd of our own who loves having company, so boarding with us is a win-win: your dog gets a loving home and a built-in furry friend, while our dog gets a buddy to hang out with. 🐾 We both work from home, so your pup will have plenty of company throughout the day rather than being left home alone for long periods. Our home also has a doggie door leading to a fully fenced yard, giving dogs the freedom to go outside and come back in as they please while we’re home to keep an eye on things. Our own dog is incredibly easygoing and low-maintenance, and over the years we realized how expensive boarding can be - even for dogs who are happy, friendly, and super easy to care for. That’s what inspired us to become Rover sitters! We want to offer an option for owners of dogs who don’t need a ton of special attention but still deserve to be loved and cared for while their humans are away. If you have an easygoing dog, we think it’s fair that you don’t have a pay a premium to have someone watch them! We’re especially happy to care for friendly, relaxed, and low-maintenance dogs who enjoy hanging out with another dog. Our goal isn’t to run a high-volume boarding business. We simply love dogs and enjoy having them in our home. We’ll send lots of updates and photos throughout the care, and we’ll be more selective with scheduling your dog because we want to make sure they’re a good fit with us and don’t plan on watching multiple dogs at a time. If your dog is the type who is happiest playing and lounging around, making a new friend, getting some attention, and feeling like part of the family, they’ll fit right in with us! We’d love to meet you and your pup! ❤️ Ryker works from home full-time, and Esther works from home two days a week, so there is always someone home with the dogs. Our schedules allow us to provide regular supervision, playtime, and outdoor breaks throughout the day ❤️ We only accept boarding dates when we know we’ll be available to care for your pup. If something unexpected comes up that requires us to be away for an extended period, we’ll communicate clearly with you ahead of time. 🐾 Your dog will have plenty of room to relax and explore in our fully fenced yard, giving them the freedom to enjoy some outdoor time in a safe, enclosed space. We have a doggie door built into our storm door that the dogs are welcome to use throughout the day, so they can go in and out as they please. We can also close the doggie door when the weather isn’t suitable. Fresh water is always available, with water bowls kept filled throughout the day. 🐾 Our home is also shared with our very friendly 60-pound, 3-year-old Golden Aussie, who absolutely loves meeting new dogs and having new friends to play with! We’ll make sure introductions are comfortable and that all dogs have a safe, relaxed environment during their stay. ❤️
About: We lost our cocker spaniel of 13 years about 2 years ago so I love to take care of dogs now that we don’t have a dog to pamper. We care for one dog at a time unless two dogs are siblings or good friends then that’s OK. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park nearby or just snuggle on the couch and chill with them. I realize how important your baby is to you and will give them love, companionship and special care. We love having a dog around. I’m retired and an empty nester so I am flexible and around all the time. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park and Glenbard West HS just down my street. We also like to sit on the front porch in the shade (gated) and watch the world go by. It’s a dead end street; so it’s very relaxed & chill. We are a few blocks from Main Street and town. We love hanging out in the back yard or the porch with our dog guests and take frequent walks.

About: I love dogs and have been working with them for 11 years. I have been dog sitting for about 15 years and love caring for other animals while their family is away. I am a stay at home mom so I prefer to dog sit in my own home I work at an animal hospital in Wheaton, IL and I used to work at a doggie daycare so I know all about dog behavior and how to handle/control them. I also have a certificate in Dog CPR and a certificate for Veterinary Assistant work. I am comfortable with all breeds and dogs of all sizes. I dog sit frequently for a family with 3 dogs and 2 cats! I am home a lot and have a very flexible schedule. If you want a trustworthy dog sitter/walker who loves working with animals, you found her! I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible!! I can do dog walks throughout the day and I can dog sit in my own home since I am home with my kids all day!

“Janet is awesome! Dependable and so sweet with our baby boy. Finding her has been a huge weight off my mind, knowing my doggie boy has a wonderful, loving buddy to exercise him while I'm away. You rock Janet!!”
About: Hi there! I’m Rajda. For the past 10 years, I’ve provided pet sitting services to friends and family so I’m used to handling feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable. Whether you need drop-ins, overnight stays, or someone to love your fur baby like their own, I’m here for it! I may be new to professional pet sitting, but I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and cows over the past few years! I’m happy to provide updates and photos, and I’m committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work remote, so I'll have plenty of time to play and watch your dogs or cats! I'm available for overnight pet sitting, dog walking, or check-ins throughout the week as needed. I’m active and love being outdoors, so pets who enjoy walks and fresh air will get plenty of it! I provide a calm, clean, and structured environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and preferred activities. I prioritize clear communication, regular updates, and photos so owners always feel confident their pet is in good hands!
“Sophie did an excellent job walking our two big wolfhounds! We booked her for six days and she was always arrived promptly and gave great service. Would highly recommend her 😁”
About: Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember, but English Bulldogs hold a special place in my heart. I trained and raised my own English Bulldog for 9 years, who grew into a special needs senior: blind in his later years and on multiple daily medications. Loving him through every stage taught me what bulldog parents already know: these dogs are one of a kind, and they need a sitter who understands them. Bulldogs aren't just low-maintenance couch potatoes, and I know the details that make the difference. I understand their stubbornness, heat sensitivities, and breathing issues. I stay on top of daily wrinkle cleaning and regular ear checks to prevent irritation and infections, and I'm happy to apply nose butter and follow your dog's grooming routine if needed. I also have the patience to work with a stubborn bulldog mood. Managing multiple daily medications and caring for a blind senior dog taught me to be organized, gentle, and attentive to any changes in routine, appetite, or behavior. My experience goes well beyond loving animals. I've worked at both a pet store and a local animal hospital, where I cared for a variety of animals, cleaned enclosures and kennels, maintained a sanitary environment, tracked food intake and behavior, and administered medications. Working alongside veterinary teams taught me to notice small changes and flag concerns early, so every animal in my care is safe, comfortable, and closely monitored. Don't have a bulldog? Don't worry! I've had years of experience caring for dogs of many breeds, plus cats, small animals, aquatic pets, and more, and I've provided trusted in-home pet care for neighbors and family members. Whether your pup is a personable bulldog like mine, or any other beloved companion, under my care they won't just be looked after. They'll be understood, loved, and treated like family. A recent Elmhurst University graduate, I currently have a flexible, full-time availability to dedicate to pet care, meaning your pets get my full attention and availability any day of the week. When I visit your home, my top priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and as stress-free as possible in their own environment. I know that unfamiliar faces can be an adjustment for some animals, so I always take a calm, patient approach and let your pet set the pace when it comes to warming up. During drop-ins, I'll follow your routines closely: feeding schedules, medications, behavioral notes, and any specific preferences you've set for your pet. I treat your home with the same respect and care I'd want shown in my own. Everything will be left exactly as I found it. For dog walks, I keep a close eye on body language and surroundings at all times, keeping walks safe and enjoyable. I'm experienced in handling dogs with different temperaments and energy levels, and I'll always make sure your pup is secure before heading out. I'm also happy to provide updates, photos, and notes after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing, because peace of mind for you is just as important as good care for them!
“Great experience from the start. Immediately received friendly response from Bentley. Definitely a professional who knows the right questions to ask and make you feel comfortable that they have the skills you need.”
“Collette has been so good with my pups! So glad that I found her. She is very detail oriented and accommodating. Collette keeps me updated on everything. Thank you again Collette.”
About: I am a medical student looking to earn some extra cash over summer break! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and absolutely love them. Now, I have two dogs (a Shiba Inu and a Dachshund) and am a foster (currently taking care of a beagle from Ridglan farms). I’m looking forward to caring for your pup! Because I am in school, my schedule does change daily. But, I often have weekday afternoons off and am available all day on Saturday and Sunday. I will treat your dog exactly as I would my own—with the respect, care, love, and attention they deserve. I am happy to check in on your pup at your house or have them stay at mine. I live in a quiet neighborhood, and my dogs are friendly.
“Madeline saved the day and accepted a last minute request when our usual dog walker was out of town. She was patient with our nervous pup and did a great job at making her feel comfortable!”
About: I feel strongly about the human animal-bond and I believe your pets deserve the best care possible! My experience goes back to childhood since I've had cats and dogs my whole life. I've watched neighbors' and friends' pets while they were out of town and even watched a friend's horses while she was on vacation. I walked dogs at Anderson Animal Shelter (now Anderson Humane) as a kid. I worked for a pet sitting company for a little over a year in 2020. That year I also began school to become a certified veterinary technician. After two years taking classes full time and completing two externships I became a CVT. My schooling did include kennels- aka walking, cleaning up after and caring for the rescued dogs and cats we learned on (they were adopted out at the end of each semester). I also have helped with pets who were boarding at veterinary offices. I can do medical treatments on your fur baby if necessary. I am open to watching exotic pets. I have a huge admiration for spicy cats. I am your person for house sitting and drop in visits. I will be using Rover for part time work but I do have flexible availability! I have stepped away from full time work all together for the foreseeable future. I am a morning person and I would love to spend some time outside with your pup whatever the weather may be. I enjoy walking outside even in zero degree weather! I am happy to accommodate any routine you need for your fur babies. Greeting your pet is important, especially if I am new to them. I will give them food and water and clean dishes as advised by you. I will take them for a walk or outside to play and go potty depending on what they are up for. If you need pills or treatments or any kind to be administered I can absolutely do that. I will treat your pet, your home and belongings with the utmost respect and responsibility.
About: Hi! My name is Katie, and I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver. I’m a stay-at-home mom to two kids, ages 8 and 11. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom, I spent many years working at the Humane Society, where I gained extensive hands on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, personalities, and backgrounds. I worked in a busy kennel environment with multiple dogs at a time, including dogs with medical needs, behavioral challenges, and difficult past experiences. I’m excited to be back on Rover after taking several years away to raise my two kids! Now that they’re both in school full time, I’m happy to have more time to get back to doing what I love, caring for animals. Our family has always been passionate about rescue animals. Over the past few years, we sadly lost our three senior rescue dogs and our senior rescue cat, all of whom were very loved members of our family. We now have one sweet, outgoing rescue cat, who is an important part of our family. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I believe in patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement, and I take the time to get to know each animal as an individual. I’m comfortable working with everything from energetic, playful pups to shy, nervous, senior, or special needs pets. What I Offer I’m home most of the day, so your pet will rarely be left alone while in my care. My schedule is also very flexible for walks and drop in visits. I offer: ● Dog walks ● Drop in/home visits ● Playtime and enrichment ● Feeding and fresh water ● Medication and special care routines when needed ● Plenty of attention, affection, and companionship Whether your pup needs a quick walk around the neighborhood, a longer adventure, some playtime, or simply a little company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! A Little About My Family My husband and I are huge animal lovers, and our pets have always been part of the family. Our two children have grown up around rescue animals and have learned to be gentle, respectful, and loving toward them. Our pets have always been treated as family with lots of walks, adventures, training, playtime, and plenty of love. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and my goal is to make you feel completely comfortable knowing they are safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! Working with animals is extremely rewarding for me! I’m home most of the day, so your pet will rarely be left alone while in my care. My schedule is also very flexible for walks and drop-in visits. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine and specific instructions carefully, while making sure they’re comfortable and secure. I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and treat every pet like my own.
“Maia really helped me out when I needed a walker for Caesar on such short notice. She was very thorough with her questions to make sure Caesar’s care was tailored to Caesar, and she took some great photos of him as well. Highly recommend!”
About: I treat my dog like he is my child and do the same for yours. I have lived with dogs my whole life and I am not afraid to get my hands dirty, if your dog has any special needs I will take care of them. I love long walks with my dog and if your dog does too he will be well taken care of. I have a fenced in yard so playing fetch will be great for them. I live in a ranch style home so stairs won't be a problem for older dogs. The bigger the dog the better. I had a great dane for many years so big dogs are not a problem either. Your dog will never be lonely here. I am currently a stay at home mom. I will have all day to care an play with your pets. I am also available on weekends for boarding. I have a fenced in yard and my dog Sabbath gets along great with all the dogs he meets. Your dog will never be alone.

“We had a wonderful experience with Justine! Her love for animals is very evident. She is wonderful with communication and sent pictures and updates every day. She was also very accommodating with a few last minute changes that we made. I highly recommend Justine and Brett!”
“Super flexible with my dog. Made her feel comfortable in her new environment. They took lots of pics and sent to me throughout my time away. My dog came back tired but happy. Thank you”
“Michelle and Erika were great! They provided plenty of updates, photos and even videos during my dogs stay. They were friendly and reassuring and I will definitely use them again for future stays.”
“Yoda came home very content. By the pictures Amanda and Anton sent he looked like he was getting spoiled and was happy about it. They did a wonderful job taking care of Yoda”
“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!”
“Mary was amazing with our dog, Kobe! This was our first time leaving him with someone who wasn’t family, and she immediately put us at ease. She sent multiple updates, pictures, and videos each day, and it was clear he was happy and well cared for. We’d absolutely book with her again!”
“Danielle is amazing. She is unbelievably kind and accommodating. I really just needed some daycare once, maybe twice, for my pup while moving, but I could tell off the bat she cares about every dog that comes through her door. I ended up doing a handful of daycare days and boarding him. I know my dog can be a pain. He is an anxious old boy and can be high-maintenance at times. I had such peace of mind sending my dog to her. She sent me photos and updates. The only downside is I didn’t find her sooner before moving away. I got to pick up a tired, happy boy every time. If I ever need to board my dog again, I will definitely be making the drive to send him to her!”
“I was very nervous about leaving my dog especially using an app. My neighbor normally keeps my dog when I travel so this was hard for me. Quandra did a meet and greet with Harvey before his stay and he was comfortable with her. When I took Harvey to stay he ran right into her house. Quandra sent pictures and took great care of Harvey ?❤️”
“Linda was amazing. We were nervous leaving our dog with someone other than family for the first time and she made everything stress-free. Our puppy had a blast and settled in amazing all weekend which is a testament to Linda! I highly recommend Linda for all services!”
“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!”
“Beryl was great to work with, and I would definitely want to book her again. She is organized and prompt in her communication and super reliable with rover responsibilities. Plus the dog (s) were a big fan of hers as well. They knew they were safe and well-cared for. Thanks Beryl!”
“Jessica couldn’t be any sweeter. We have a 12 year old Great Dane, and certainly no longer an easy dog to take care of (although sweet!) Jessica went above and beyond to make him comfortable and happy. So much so he didn’t want to leave!!! Not enough good things to say about Jessica, her husband, or Capone. Highly recommended 😍”
About: Hi i’m Trinity! I’m 26 currently working as a full time Executive Assistant running a professional haunted house. 🦇 I’m a lover of all things Halloween and when i’m not occupied with work, I love spending time with pets! I don’t have any of my own at the moment, but it’s something I’m trying to save up for! I have become a local favorite for neighbors and friends! I have years of experience with high energy, elderly, and special needs dogs. I’ve had family pets my whole life so I have plenty of experience with basic care as well. Aside from the usual errand runs, I am normally home during the day - so the pets will have minimal alone time! As long as you approve, your pup can be attached to my hip 🖤 My booking calendar is updated frequently, so the current availability should be accurate. Let’s connect and see if it works! To ensure the safety of the pets, I only host one family at a time. At my home, pups are more than welcome to lounge on the furniture. I provide clean bowls, toys, along with sniff pads and frozen treats! We have a back patio that is not fenced in, but there is a lead we can attach to the collar so they can stay within sight. Walks through the neighborhood are always an option as well! ✨Can provide multiple references ✨
“Jean and Al took such great care of our 2 little boys. They communicated several times a day with updates and photos. They have a big back yard where our boys were able to run and be play. They gave them lots of pets and cuddles. Our boys had a such wonderful time with Jean and Al. They treated our boys as if they were own. We are so grateful to Jean and Al for taking such wonderful care of our boys. We highly recommend Jean and Al!”
“Robert did great! Even though Logan was there for a shorter stay, I got plenty of pics and Logan looked happy/comfortable in all of them! I picked him up this morning and he's exhausted so I'm sure he had a good time”
“Tyler's wife handles the communication, and she was so quick to respond, helpful, and accessible. She sent several pictures and videos during the stay, and our pup always looked so comfortable, happy, and relaxed. I would definitely trust them with our dog again.”
“Tamara is a sweetheart! We were in town for the Stones concert and needed a sitter for the night! She was very nice, prompt and kept us updated. Our Boston, Maggie, loved her and had a great time. Next time we are passing thru town we will definitely contact Tamara. Thanks so much!”
“So happy with Kaya’s stay at Elise’s house. Her dog and Kaya got along so well. Elise provided us updates throughout the stay, which put us at ease. Definitely coming back for more stays! Highly recommend”
