“1st time using Rover and Mark and Nancy were very accommodating. My wife was very anxious because this was the first time we were dropping off our fur babies for someone else other than family to look after them. Mark and Nancy did not disappoint. The updates that we got put my wife at ease. No worries here. For sure we will look to Mark and Nancy again in the future.”

“This was Bonita's third trip to Mary's. On the latest visit, Bonita immediately ran and sat on Mary's son, Gary's, lap and gave me a look "Im fine, goodbye". So I left. Mary sent me daily reports via pictures and/or videos. Bonita seemed happy and relaxed. When I came to pick her up, she was happy to see me, but did look back at Mary's family and seemed to say "thank you". Mary is sweet, friendly, and always smiling.”

About: I’ve cared for cats for many years and currently have two 1-year-old cats, Moose and Cooper. Living with cats every day has reinforced how different their personalities, routines, and comfort levels can be. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, basic medication instructions, and keeping an eye on changes in appetite, behavior, or bathroom habits. I also have experience volunteering with animal shelters, which exposed me to cats with different backgrounds and temperaments. I’m patient with shy or cautious cats and never force interaction. I’m happy to provide affection, play, or simply respectful company depending on what your cat prefers. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.

About: I'm a dedicated and compassionate caregiver who treats every pet with the same love, attention, and care I give my own. For fourteen years, I raised my beloved Golden Retriever, who taught me the value of loyalty and unconditional love. I had the opportunity to care for a gentle Italian Mastiff, which gave me valuable experience with a large breed and deepened my understanding of different temperaments and needs. Today, I share my life with Gia, an 8-year-old Golden/Pyrenees mix. She is exceptionally well trained and a devoted companion. She brings joy not only to me but also to the many people who stop to greet her wherever we go. I had the privilege of caring for Romeo, a sweet and loving Boston Terrier, during the last three years of his life. Throughout his battle with cancer, I administered his medications, took him to veterinary appointments, supported him through surgery and recovery, and closely monitored his health. I adjusted my home and daily routine to provide him with the comfort, care, and support he needed. Romeo's journey reinforced my commitment to providing every animal with love and compassionate throughout every stage of life. I value building trusting relationships with both pets and their owners. You can expect consistent communication, regular updates, photos, and attentive care throughout every visit or stay. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved. For me, caring for animals is more than a service-it's something I truly love. Thank you and I look look forward to meeting you and your pet! I have a l flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekends. I strive to accommodate each client's needs and provide reliable, consistent care. I am happy to care for dogs in my home or in yours, depending on what best meets your needs. I take time to learn each dog's routine and preferences so they feel comfortable and secure. Together, we'll create a plan that works best for both you and your animal.

About: I enjoy having dogs, and started using this website when I went out of town. Because of this, I know the high standard of care I expect from my sitter, and what you should expect too. I will take the time and care you would for your own dog. I'll give them snuggles, playtime, and lots of outside time depending on the crazy weather we have here of course. Myself and my doggy friends love to take walks, play tug-of-war, fetch and other games your dog enjoys or might enjoy. If your dog comes to our house we have a fully enclosed backyard. It is a great big yard enough to play fetch with a few dogs at the same time. Some just like to sun bathe and watch everyone else run around. Your dogs will have so much fun, and will be well loved while they are here. When my doggie friends come back for a visit the owners tell me the dogs are excited when they turn down my street. I have a Yorkie named Jack, and 3 mini Bernedoodles named Elenor, Dahlia, and Franklin. I am not taking unneutered or unspayed dogs at this time. I have lots of available hours to spend with your pets. My schedule is consistent usually, but fairly open. In the past, I was walking dogs. Not sure if I am going to start doing that or not. I have a fenced in yard and 4 dogs to keep your dog company. We can play in the yard or hang out in the house. I have lots of toys and balls.

About: I'm a dedicated and compassionate caregiver who treats every pet with the same love, attention, and care I give my own. For fourteen years, I raised my beloved Golden Retriever, who taught me the value of loyalty and unconditional love. I had the opportunity to care for a gentle Italian Mastiff, which gave me valuable experience with a large breed and deepened my understanding of different temperaments and needs. Today, I share my life with Gia, an 8-year-old Golden/Pyrenees mix. She is exceptionally well trained and a devoted companion. She brings joy not only to me but also to the many people who stop to greet her wherever we go. I had the privilege of caring for Romeo, a sweet and loving Boston Terrier, during the last three years of his life. Throughout his battle with cancer, I administered his medications, took him to veterinary appointments, supported him through surgery and recovery, and closely monitored his health. I adjusted my home and daily routine to provide him with the comfort, care, and support he needed. Romeo's journey reinforced my commitment to providing every animal with love and compassionate throughout every stage of life. I value building trusting relationships with both pets and their owners. You can expect consistent communication, regular updates, photos, and attentive care throughout every visit or stay. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved. For me, caring for animals is more than a service-it's something I truly love. Thank you and I look look forward to meeting you and your pet! I have a l flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekends. I strive to accommodate each client's needs and provide reliable, consistent care. I am happy to care for dogs in my home or in yours, depending on what best meets your needs. I take time to learn each dog's routine and preferences so they feel comfortable and secure. Together, we'll create a plan that works best for both you and your animal.

My patients never wears thin and eventually all, even the most stubborn pet warms up to me. Any pet under our supervision will always be taken care of from walks, to alone time to calm their nerves if need be but NEVER neglected.

About: With over 20 years of experience as a dog mom and countless years of house and pet sitting for families, I’m passionate about providing loving and attentive care to your pets. My journey began in Oak Park, IL, where I worked as a trusted nanny and babysitter for families—many of whom had furry, feathered, or scaly companions. Now, as a mom myself, I focus exclusively on house and pet sitting, offering all the love and premium care to help your pet feel spoiled. I have a heart for all animals but an especially soft spot for dogs. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals, including chickens, house birds, turtles, frogs, and hamsters, so I’m comfortable with pets big and small! Whether your pup needs walks, cuddles, or just a calm presence in the home, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Your pets are family, and I treat them as such—with respect, kindness, and a whole lot of love. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered, or scaly) family members! I’m available Monday through Sunday from 6am to 8pm. I’m also happy to accommodate earlier or late-night pet care requests whenever possible. I own a full time home and pet care company where I provide house care and pet care fully insured! When I care for pets in their home, I do my best to make sure they feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible—just like they would if their family were there. I follow their usual routine closely, ensuring they get their meals and any medication right on schedule. I keep their space clean, tidy, and welcoming, so they always feel at ease. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I provide plenty of affection and attention. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected while you’re away. My goal is to ensure your pets feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for in the place where they feel safest—their own home.

About: I have always enjoyed spending my time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school - sadly he recently passed away - but since coming to college I have been missing my sweet fur baby. Being able to play with and care for someone else's pet while also earning extra cash would be an ideal job experience for me. Getting a new pet really isn’t an option for me right now. With all the free time on my hands, and I would love to get the chance to spend it walking and playing with your fur babies! In the past, I have dog sat for other friends and family and I really enjoyed it and having the extra company is always a plus!

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Currently, I care for two of my own—Sparky, my sweet 13-year-old Bichon Frise, and Shelby, my playful 1-year-old Miniature Goldendoodle. Having both a senior dog and a young, energetic pup has given me a wide range of hands-on experience, from managing health needs and gentle senior care to keeping up with puppy energy, training, and teething phases. In the past, I also cared for an American Pitbull Terrier for 5 years, and over the years I’ve looked after many dogs for friends, neighbors, and family members. Some of the breeds I’ve worked with include Chihuahuas, Beagles, Golden Retrievers, Pomeranians, and a variety of lovable mixes. Every dog is unique, and I truly enjoy getting to know each one’s personality and quirks. Whether they’re shy or outgoing, young or elderly, I’m patient, gentle, and always happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I’m usually available Monday through Friday, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to walk, play with, and care for your pup. Whether they need a midday stroll, some company while you’re away, or just a little extra love and attention, I’m happy to be there for them. I’m home often, so I’m able to keep a close eye on the dogs and make sure they’re always safe and cared for. While my yard is open and unfenced, I never leave dogs outside unattended—they’re always on a leash and supervised, with access to a sunny, enclosed sunroom for extra comfort. For smaller dogs, I have a crate available if preferred by the owner, and I’m also able to provide transport in case of a vet emergency. My home is stocked with cozy blankets and toys that are always available for dogs to borrow and enjoy. Located in a quiet, beautiful area, the home offers plenty of space to explore, bird- and squirrel-watching opportunities, and nearby parks for peaceful outings. The spacious living room and multiple rooms allow for safe separation if needed, ensuring every dog feels comfortable. Most of all, your pup will enjoy peace, safety, and lots of love while in my care.

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I currently have an 8-year-old dog, Mickey, and two 1-year-old cats, Moose and Cooper, so pet care is also part of my everyday life. I also volunteered with several animal shelters throughout high school and college, which gave me experience around animals with a wide range of temperaments and backgrounds. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, potty breaks, basic medication instructions, and giving pets the individual attention they need. I’m especially attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or bathroom habits and will always keep you updated. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home, so I take reliability, communication, and following instructions very seriously. My schedule currently allows me to offer flexible pet care throughout the week, including walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. I keep my calendar updated and plan bookings carefully so I can give each pet the time and attention they need rather than overbooking myself. I follow each pet’s normal routine and their owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, medications, crate routines, and any household rules. I pay attention to doors, gates, leashes, weather, surroundings, and interactions with other animals. I also believe communication is part of good pet care, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos and let you know promptly if anything seems unusual.

About: I always love to make sure the pet is well taken care of not just physically but mentally. I always wanna make sure they're happy just like normal people. The biggest thing that does make me happy is seeing other animals, I used to try to help every animal I came across ever since I was little I always wanna go up to them and give them every percentage of love (with owners permission of course). If you have cats i will definitely do cat care also and can take care of them in our home. For dog's I unfortunately cant take care of them in our apartment because its too small and unfair for them, but i can do stop by visits before work or on my days off or even after work. If your cat or dog needs any type of special needs, just teach me how to care for your baby and i will learn it quickly and give them the care they need. I do work nightshfit at the Valpo Highschool from 9pm to 5:30am I am currently working another job so unfortunately I have a small tight availability. I work mostly closing shifts(1:30pm-10pm) and the off days i have are Fridays and Saterdays I also have a 2nd morning job from 7am-1pm but my Husband has a more open scedual I love to take photos of people's pets so a photo update will be no problem! I treat other people's pets like they are my own or like they are someone's child.

For fourteen years, I raised my beloved Golden Retriever, who taught me the value of loyalty and unconditional love. I had the opportunity to care for a gentle Italian Mastiff, which gave me valuable experience with a large breed and deepened my understanding of different temperaments and needs. Today, I share my life with Gia, an 8-year-old Golden/Pyrenees mix. She is exceptionally well trained and a devoted companion. She brings joy not only to me but also to the many people who stop to greet her wherever we go. I had the privilege of caring for Romeo, a sweet and loving Boston Terrier, during the last three years of his life. Throughout his battle with cancer, I administered his medications, took him to veterinary appointments, supported him through surgery and recovery, and closely monitored his health. I adjusted my home and daily routine to provide him with the comfort, care, and support he needed. Romeo's journey reinforced my commitment to providing every animal with love and compassionate throughout every stage of life. I value building trusting relationships with both pets and their owners. You can expect consistent communication, regular updates, photos, and attentive care throughout every visit or stay. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved. For me, caring for animals is more than a service-it's something I truly love. Thank you and I look look forward to meeting you and your pet! I have a l flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekends. I strive to accommodate each client's needs and provide reliable, consistent care. I am happy to care for dogs in my home or in yours, depending on what best meets your needs. I take time to learn each dog's routine and preferences so they feel comfortable and secure. Together, we'll create a plan that works best for both you and your animal.

About: We have always had pets (Mostly Dogs) growing up and have never met a dog or cat that didn't like us. We are the type of people that animals (Fur Babies) just feel at ease with. From the smallest of toy and lap dogs to the much larger Great Danes and Mastiffs. We will always get along, even the dog that nobody can handle and scares them. My patients never wears thin and eventually all, even the most stubborn pet warms up to me. Any pet under our supervision will always be taken care of from walks, to alone time to calm their nerves if need be but NEVER neglected. We truly believe that your Dogs and/or Cats should and will be treated just you would. Thanks, Between my wife and I we are essentially available 24/7. And hope to accommodate any ones schedule. Our routine will be scheduled around whatever is needed We have a full half acre completely fenced in (Wooden privacy fence). And of course whatever it is you and your dogs like enjoy we will accommodate.

About: Hello, I'm a big animal lover. Life is always better with furry friends! I have pretty much always had a dog most of my life & always consider them family. I was lucky & got to be there when my former fur baby was born. Her mom let me massage her hips & tummy while in labor. It was her 1st litter & she was awesome!! She let me handle all 9 of the babies after she was done delivering so we could transfer all them to a clean bed & to help rotate at feeding time to ensure they all ate. All 9 survived & were healthy!! I was also a "doula" for my mom's cats pregnancy & she let me massage her tummy & handle her babies right away also. It's a blessing to see & be a part of. I would love to provide a safe and comfortable care for your pet while you are away. I used to have birds, cats, fish, been around reptiles & snakes, turtles, I worked at an eagle rapture center in Alaska which is where I'm from. I have a strong belief to only work in something you love so here I am. :-) Your pet will receive the same love & attention as if they were my own & provide plenty of pictures. Before I became a provider for Rover I used the service a few times myself & was very appreciative when I was given daily updates & pictures & want to provide the same for others. It truly meant a lot to me to get that so I know the importance. -Reliable, Safe, Comfortable w/ all animals -Wellness checks -Doggie daycare in your home-Rover doesn't allow me to add this feature/pricing-please ask for free quote -Pet Sitting -Pet Grooming -Walking/Running/Playtime -Pickup/Drop Off for Appointments -Training -Overnight care -Reiki/Massage for pets -I'm more than happy to help w/ some extra house cleaning (additional) so don't be afraid to ask. Have a lot of flexibility currently so grab your spot I usually book fast between pet care services, house cleaning, care giving job, & wtvr else I decide to dabble in. Customized services to your fur babies needs. Each pet is unique & each visit is different & I'll work with you the best I can.

“This was Bonita's third trip to Mary's. On the latest visit, Bonita immediately ran and sat on Mary's son, Gary's, lap and gave me a look "Im fine, goodbye". So I left. Mary sent me daily reports via pictures and/or videos. Bonita seemed happy and relaxed. When I came to pick her up, she was happy to see me, but did look back at Mary's family and seemed to say "thank you". Mary is sweet, friendly, and always smiling.”

It was also so helpful of her to not only pick up our dogs (for free!!) but to also then drop them off! We have a newborn so we really appreciated the convenience of that! She sent us a lot of updates with pictures and we will definitely use her in the future for our fur babies!!”

“Shawne was great! She took care of our Winston for us over a long weekend and tolerated the fact he didn't like her kitties so much! He was a bit anxious at her house the first night, and she changed his surroundings and got him settled down for the 2nd night. I appreciate her watching our anxious boy!”

About: Growing up, my dog Roxy was one of my best friends. That’s the root of my love of our four legged friends. I’ve also cherished opportunities I’ve had to take care of my neighbors, friends and families pets over the years as well. Whether it’s just been for walks around the block or dog sitting for weeks at a time, I’ve been a trusted source of canine companionship. In addition to these experiences, my work as an RN has given me confidence and a level headed mindset when dealing with stressful and difficult situations. Big dogs, small dogs, doesn’t matter I just want to be your dogs new best friend! I’m currently working a flexible schedule which allows me to take time for your pet! Depending on the day I’ll be avail as morning, noon or night and am free most weekends! I live in a pet friendly home with a fenced in backyard and plenty of space to run around! Whatever your pets needs are I’m happy to accommodate!

She made him feel like a part of the family and made sure to do whatever she could to make him comfortable. We would recommend Heather to anyone looking for a sitter for their furry friends!!”

Ava communicated daily with pictures which was extra special. We hope to hire Ava again in the future and recommend her to you too!! ♡🐾♡🐾♡”

About: I've grown up living with dogs and have been the primary trainer for my family's dogs. I do pretty well working with new pets and can handle full size dogs. I'm an engineer who gets home from work around 4 or 5PM. My weekends are empty 3/4 weekends a month. I can do overnights on Sunday and during the work week if your dog is used to being alone 9-5. I have a small yard, and live next to the beach. I typically walk my dog to the beach 2-3 times a day on the weekend and she swims often. I usually use a harness to walk dogs, never leave them unattended outside since I have no fence. Make sure they have food twice a day and water always full.

“Jacob was an awesome dog sitter. He took great care of Blaze. He also shared pictures of Blaze every single day. Blaze seemed to have enjoyed himself. Blaze wasn’t depressed or did we see any signs of weight lost like we normally do when taking him to a kennel. If you leave your pet with Jacob you have no need to worry about your pet. Thanks Jacob for doing an outstanding job with Blaze!”
