“Ava took good care of our boy while we were away for a couple days. She asked if we could speak after I requested the booking so I could give her extra details for how we take care of him at home. 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 been taking care of dogs & cats my entire life. I have experience as a vet assistant. Animals are my passion and not only do I love providing a loving home for my animals but I also know how hard it is to balance work and life in general when you have pets so I want to be able to care and help you with your fur babies as well! I'm currently only working part time so I have a lot of free time to care for your fur babies ! My schedule is pretty open so on my days off I can take last minute requests . I also enjoy being outdoors even if it's just sitting in the backyard with the dogs I have a fenced in yard with a loving yellow Labrador ! Your pup will have fun and will stay safe with plenty of exercise! I do not go on walks without a leash or without your consent.
“You guys were excellent thank you thank you thank you for taking wonderful care of my baby. I love all of the pictures and the videos will definitely use you guys in the future.”
About: I've been surrounded by furry friends since day one! 🐶 Seriously, I can't remember a time without a doggo by my side. Thinking about all the pets I've had makes me so happy. 🥰 Anyone else feel like their pets are family? It's the best kind of love! Enjoying the freedom of open schedule currently at home full-time. So furry buddies will get Daily walks around the lake to offer a refreshing escape. Relaxing time outside under tree shade help me do some gardening🤣. Dogs will be created when I am not home. I currently own a golden retriever. She's a friendly dog. I don't have a fenced in yard my dog listens to commands. Leashes and yard leads will be used. At night dogs will be in their creates.
“I can't imagine a better person to leave our Parker Boy with! Heather took the best care of our dog and sent pictures and videos to keep our minds at ease while we were apart from him. 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!!”

“Christian was great with my pup! I always feel guilty leaving my pup with others because I know she’s used to a lot of attention and specialized care that I provide, but Christian was able to provide frequent updates and followed all of my extra instructions. Thanks for taking care of my puppy and going above and beyond!!!”
“Barbara was wonderful! We had an amazing experience with a recent overnight stay! Our Jack Russell terrier can be anxious and a bit high maintenance, but she was incredibly patient, loving, and attentive. She took great care of him, worked with him on walks, and even let him sleep with her to keep him comfortable. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup—she’s truly a phenomenal sitter!”
“Daryl boarded our dog from the 23rd through the 24th and she was amazing! Our dog is, for the most part, very high maintenance and craves personalized attention and that is what he got for two days being with Daryl. We had looked at other boarders, ones with other dogs, ones with various other animal types, kids etc... and just watching Chief interact with Daryl was incredible. He immediately took to her and to the environment, was playing, jumping and even napping almost right away. We were sent photos consistently while we were away and just seeing him happy and playful and even how tired he was was a wonderful sight. We would definitely recommend anyone who is looking to have their dog boarded to consider Daryl, especially if they require more personal attention. She did great!!”

“This was my first time using Rover or someone I didn’t know to take care of my cat. I was very nervous. Megan was excellent. She was available at very short notice & did a great job with a very fussy cat. I will definitely look to her again should I need someone to look after my girl. She even went through some extreme weather to make sure my pet was fed. She was dedicated.”
“I can't say enough good things about Julie other than she made my kitty so so happy while we were gone and I could see that clearly in the pictures she sent us! My kitty was doing snuggles w Julie that I never see her do! And that means she's happy and that all I wanted for my special little kitty who is typically a lil shy, scared and defensive. We are so greatful for Julie.”
“She was extremely kind and patient with the dogs! Our dog had a few accidents but she was super nice and understanding and cleaned it up for us! We would recommend her!”
“Melanie did a great job with our animals while we were away despite a number of unexpected challenges that happened (huge snowstorm, malfunctioning automatic doors for our animals, etc). We were out of the country and it was such a relief to know we had someone here we could totally trust to take care of our animals. We highly recommend Melanie if you’re looking for a trustworthy and dependable sitter for your pets!”
About: I got my first cat (Tiger) at age 6 and have been obsessed with them since. I have 3 cats of my own, 2 of them over the age of 15 that I’ve had since kittens. I like to think I’m a cat whisperer; I read them well and am able to make correct decisions when working with each individual personality each cat has.
About: I am currently an owner of an Alaskan Malamute. My dog gets along and does well around other people's pets.

I stick to their feeding schedule and pets can sleep wherever they feel comfortable here.
“Chyanne was amazing! She really took her time to understand our cats personalities and the things that make them unique. She kept our home clean, scooped the litter boxes, fed our cats treats, groomed them, and played with their favorite toys. We will definitely be rebooking with Chyanne and you should too!”

Whether that be teaching you guys how to communicate better, being there while you’re working to support them, or taking them out on adventures I will do my best to make it worthwhile! I can’t wait to meet you but specifically your pup! 🙏🐶❤️ I work two part-time jobs with one of them being a dog trainer. This means plenty of time and skills that I can use to not only be there for your dog but also help them learn! When it comes to your pets care you tell me what is best. You know your dog better than I ever will, which means you know their discomforts. My job is to care for them to the best of my ability and I fully intend to do so by avoiding any extra stress!

“Bowser was given wonderful care for a long day at Jordan's. Bowser can be a bit reactive, but Jordan assured that she had dealt with such and her manner when I dropped him off kept him relaxed. Apparently he complained for a bit and then settled right in, getting to know a small dog and cat. I was camping at the dunes and was able to spend a day in Chicago riding the South shore in from a station not far from Jordan's. I will definitely be doing this again it went so well!”
“Angela was super nice and welcomed Benny in like her own. He seemed super happy when I picked him up! He usually gets anxiety when he is separated from me and tends to act out the rest of the day, but he has been his normal self all day since I picked him up from her! She took him for multiple walks and let him get lots of energy out! 5 stars and I will definitely be using Angela again!”
“April was such a fantastic sitter! She has years of experience and you can tell she cares for your pet! She was attentive to our Aussie’s special needs and we are thankful for her flexibility and her kindness.”

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.

She had great communication with us and sent us regular updates through the day. She even took the cutest Christmas photo shoot of Jett! We could not be happier! So thankful to have found Alicia! We will definitely be coming back when we’re in town 😊”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Family and friends have relied on me for decades to take care of their animals. Growing up on a farm helped give me a lifelong affinity for animals. I’m a teacher who is off all summer. I have plenty of time to fill and would love to look after your animals, either in my home, as a drop in, or just a walk. I have a fenced in backyard, two amazing labs who love other dogs, and a wife and daughter who love dogs as much as I do.
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.
“I would recommend Kassia to anyone looking for a reliable, professional dog sitter. She was communicative, met with us a couple of days before the actual sit, and accommodated our early 6 a.m. drop-off that we needed (which happened to be on Daylight Savings as well). Moreover, our dog was excited when we dropped him off (always a good sign to us), and was tired when we got home.”
About: I am a licensed veterinary assistant and have three years of experience working in a animal clinic.

I have a open schedule since i am able to start focusing on my love for animals and helping others they may need help caring for their animals The care my own animals get is they are feed once a day and get treats throughout the day and go on walks or play with there toys or unwind and watch tv and I would treat the animals in my care with the same love or however it is their own cares for them
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: Hello! My services offer walks and drop in visits. I’ve absolutely adored animals since I was little and have grown up with cats and dogs. I’ve been taking care of my own pets as well as strays and fosters for years. My work experience includes managing kennels at a vet, watching large groups of dogs at Beach for Dogs, and I was a bather at Petsmart. When your pet is in my care I can promise you they will be safe, happy and comfortable as can be every time. I’ll love them like my own! I am self-employed. I am able to work my Rover appointments into my schedule without any issues or potential of inconveniencing my clients in any way. I have a calm and nurturing energy when dealing with dogs to make them comfortable. It’s important to give them the opportunity to get their energy out so you can come home to a tired, relaxed dog!
“Alexis was absolutely fantastic taking care of my baby Luna! Luna is only 6 months old, has a lot of energy, is not fully trained and I'm sure was a handful for someone to walk in day-one and manage, But she did above and beyond. She brought toys and puzzles, made sure Luna was fed and properly walked. She updated me on how the walks went, when she arrived and left, told me about the other dogs Luna got to meet along the walks and seemed totally joyful and sincere about spending time with my sweet girl. I will be hiring Alexis over and over in the future!”
About: Hello, I'm Katie! I helped my mom run a cat rescue for over 8 years (that includes waking up every 2 hours to bottle feed, giving medication, handling moody kitties, cleaning up constant messes, etc). Since then, I've been trusted to pet sit for friends, coworkers, and family members. I have slightly more experience house sitting with cats than dogs, but I love all pets equally and would be so happy to meet them! I offer overnight stays/house sitting, drop-ins, and dog walking. I am currently pet sitting full time. I am available on weekdays and weekends however early or late as needed, and for as many drop-ins as needed. My schedule is very flexible! The care and safety of your pet is the most important thing to me. I make sure to keep human food out of reach along with plastic bags, cords, or other potentially harmful items. I always try to keep pets entertained, happy, and out of trouble. I am a very clean person and will never leave a mess behind, I can assure your home will be well looked after. I can provide photo or text updates as often as needed!
“This is the first time we’ve used a pet babysitter! Melanie was the perfect fit for our family. Receiving daily pics of Chelsie comforting! Id recommend and use Melanie’s services again!”
About: I have had animals all my life, especially dogs amongst a few small pets. I have two dogs myself and I am training all of them with basic commands. I have 5 years of experience in training American pitbulls mixes to have as pets around children and other small animals. Something that sets me apart from others is that I recognize dogs and cats behavior such as signs of discomfort. I have personal experience with raising and caring for dogs of all sizes. I want animals to be comfortable, safe, and healthy. This may be disconcerting for owners that expect their pet to have free roam. I would expect multiple walks and sleeping in their dog beds considering the pets disposition as well as updates about pet stay. For house sitting, I will be willing to adjust prices if my own dogs are allowed to accompany me (not required). I am currently doing delivery services such as Grubhub and Doordash so I set the times I work. I have a flexible schedule and do not leave my home very often. I have 2 small dogs that are playful and dog friendly. I do not have a fenced yard, but I do use the long tie out leashes and outdoor playpens. I recently made a potty area for my dogs. I clean and disinfect it multiple times a week with natural products.

“April is seriously a gem. She has been so kind and patient with my dogs. I was so nervous to start this process on Rover but I am so glad I found her. Not only has she been so caring, but you can just tell how much she loves what she does and goes above and beyond. Thank you so much April!!”
About: Hi there! I worked as kennel staff at an animal hospital for over a year before I moved to Nevada, and then I worked at both and animal hospital and a grooming salon during the two years I lived there! (I have since returned to Northwest Indiana!) I took care of both cats and dogs(of all breeds and disabilities) and helped medicate and treat them! I have owned pets all my life, both cats and dogs, and have been their primary caretakers. I am heavily passionate about animals! I currently have two dogs and four cats. I am 23 and have a driver's license. I love animals more than anything, and would do whatever it takes to make your pets feel happy and safe in my company! I am currently unemployed, so I have plenty of time to take care of other people's pets! I live in a household with other people, so I'm more than able to housesit, as well! I love to keep animals company, and I will do whatever I'm asked to do to take care of someone's pet. If said pet is undergoing training of any sort, I'm willing to make sure that training is implemented throughout the visit, walk, or stay. I absolutely love giving furbabies my attention and love, but will go at the pets pace. I won't force my affections on an anxious animal.
About: Old or young cat or dog animals deserve love and care and if I was leaving my dog somewhere I’d want to make sure he’s safe with someone who cares that’s me It fits in with me because I wake up with my dog everyday take care of him. He is apart of my routine. I needed two more words. My home or yours. Your animals will be cared for with a lot of attention. Also I’m not only doing it for the money I love animals and spending time with them.
About: I’ve worked at a dog hotel, and I’ve pet sat for both cats and dogs. I’ve never met a dog that didn’t like me, and I’ve never met a cat that didn’t tolerate me. I’m a student pilot, so some days I have about 2 and a half hours where I won’t be available. Otherwise I have a very flexible schedule and can spend all day or any time caring for your pet. I don’t have any pets of my own, but I’m good at making anyone’s pets friendly with me. I’ve done daily check-ins and up to two weeks staying at someone’s house to keep their dog active and happy.

“What an amazing experience! I always get so nervous having to leave our girls to travel, but Angela was wonderful.

Thanks again Angela!!”

“Ava took good care of our boy while we were away for a couple days. She asked if we could speak after I requested the booking so I could give her extra details for how we take care of him at home. 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 been surrounded by furry friends since day one! 🐶 Seriously, I can't remember a time without a doggo by my side. Thinking about all the pets I've had makes me so happy. 🥰 Anyone else feel like their pets are family? It's the best kind of love! Enjoying the freedom of open schedule currently at home full-time. So furry buddies will get Daily walks around the lake to offer a refreshing escape. Relaxing time outside under tree shade help me do some gardening🤣. Dogs will be created when I am not home. I currently own a golden retriever. She's a friendly dog. I don't have a fenced in yard my dog listens to commands. Leashes and yard leads will be used. At night dogs will be in their creates.
“I can't imagine a better person to leave our Parker Boy with! Heather took the best care of our dog and sent pictures and videos to keep our minds at ease while we were apart from him. 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!!”

“Daryl boarded our dog from the 23rd through the 24th and she was amazing! Our dog is, for the most part, very high maintenance and craves personalized attention and that is what he got for two days being with Daryl. We had looked at other boarders, ones with other dogs, ones with various other animal types, kids etc... and just watching Chief interact with Daryl was incredible. He immediately took to her and to the environment, was playing, jumping and even napping almost right away. We were sent photos consistently while we were away and just seeing him happy and playful and even how tired he was was a wonderful sight. We would definitely recommend anyone who is looking to have their dog boarded to consider Daryl, especially if they require more personal attention. She did great!!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am so grateful I found Juliana. I was so nervous leaving my baby in the care of anyone for the first time on an extended stay. Juliana took such good care of my Benito! Her communication was great and you can tell she truly is an animal lover. I would definitely recommend her! Thank you for caring for my Benito! 🫶🏽🐈⬛”
“Sheree is awesome. She treats Milo as if he is her dog :). Sheree always provides feedback, sends pictures, addresses any concerns that may arise and provides overall great care of our furbaby. I will always use Sheree for our dog boarding needs.”
“We left our dog for 2 nights and 3 days, and everything was fantastic! Arianna sent great photo updates and treated our dog like family. Picked up a happy, relaxed pup. Highly recommend!! Thank you, Arianna, for doing a fantastic job🔥🔥🔥💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼”
“Shanie was so accommodating to our last minute booking which definitely helped with our stress. 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!!”
“Noel jumped in when I needed a sitter last minute. She took excellent care of Clyde and will continue to use her. She kept me updated and I feel so at peace knowing that she and her family are there for my big guy while my husband heals from his back surgery.”
“Duane took such good care of my adult (6yo) mini poodle. Although it was only one night that my dog stayed with him, I could clearly see that she became a good friend of him and when I went to pick her up after the stay.”
