Knowing he was taken care of and she was sticking to his at home schedule, allowed us to enjoy our vacation more. Thank you so much!”
“Our new addition to our family Layla came unexpectedly or planned but we couldn't love her more. We had a weekend getaway planned before getting her and needed a sitter for her. We went through different profiles and Bernice had great reviews and alot of repeat clients which we loved. We did a meet and greet and she agreed to take Layla for the weekend. She was kind. Sent lots of pictures all weekend and kept us updated very regularly. She went above and beyond. And Layla was very well cared for, we will 1000% use her again as a sitter in the future.”
“This was our first time using Rover and I'm so glad it brought us to Barbara and her husband.

I would highly recommend Barbara to anyone! Her services are second to none!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was so kind and understanding. I ended up having an emergency and she was so easy to work with. Also, Freddy absolutely loved her! We got so many pictures and updates, definitely eased my mind while we were away. 100% recommend!!!!!!!!!!”

About: My family picked up two stray kittens from the side of the road when I was 9! My family had those cats until I was just fresh out of graduate school and they passed on after a very long life! I do enjoy cats and their quirkiness now, but my dogs would terrorize them if we had them ourselves. I’m happy to get my cat fix through others and love on someone else’s sweet baby!
“First time that I boarded my Tommy Boy. I was so happy that Mandy was available to take him. She lives close by, so I didn't need to drive a long distance. She sent me pictures periodically so I can see him. She watched him for 2 weeks. She took good care of him too. He was in good hands, and I didn't have to worry about him at all while I was away. I definitely will have Mandy watch him again.”
“Another great experience with Crystal taking care of my precious creature! We worked out the schedule and I was updated with each visit. Looking forward to my next trip knowing that my pal will be well taken care of!”

“It was a relief with all of our funeral planning taking place in Chicago, to know that Ms. Bernice was going to take care of Niko. This was his first time at any day care and it seems that this will help us as we work with him to socialize with other dogs. Overall, she was very cooperative, reliable and conveniently located to our hotel. We would use her services again.”
“Alicia went above and beyond for our baby Jett!! We were in a panic because our original sitter had to cancel last minute and Alicia responded to my request right away and was willing to help us out. 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: 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 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.
“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!”
“Joy was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She provided a safe, fun, and caring environment, and it was clear how much she truly loves animals. My pup came home happy and relaxed. This was my first time using Rover and Joy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter! 🐾”
About: I am a positive, upbeat individual who is absolutely an animal lover! I have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish (saltwater and freshwater) and rodents of unusual size (like guinea pigs 🤣).

A Trusted House Sitter, I look forward to getting to know neighbors and new furry friend! Feel free to message me with any questions.

From dog parks and fetch to a walk around the neighborhood, I am happy to continue routines and ensure that you and your pets feel comfortable.
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’ve a had and loved pets my whole life, and have cared for dogs ranging from a docile miniature schnauzer to the most rambunctious, sweet and loving Weimaraner. I’d love to make your dog feel right at home in my home while you’re away, or check in on them in yours! I currently work from home running a small business and have a flexible schedule. The Weimaraner, Maci, in my profile is with me part time, typically more in the summer months. I have a large back yard for pups to run in, basic puppy training skills, and lots of experience taking walks with easily distracted pups. For drop in visits, I am a calm presence so your pet doesn’t feel overwhelmed or uneasy. I’m happy to follow all instructions for feeding and outside time, and also love to take my drop in pups on walks if you’d like me to. 🐾 Since I’m home a majority of the time, I’m able to provide very regular potty breaks and lots of time outside to roam in the backyard. We play plenty of fetch, tug of war, etc. 🦮 I love to walk the pups in my care if that’s something they enjoy, so just let me know. 🐕 My son absolutely loves helping take care of all of the dogs we board when he is here in the evenings.

In our down time, your pet can expect snuggles, pets, and to rest comfortably on the couch or dog bed.

“The rover app was very easy to use. Lots of choices for all kinds of services for our dog. We had Sydnee come by our rental property and spend some time with our dog and she was very accommodating with her time. We got updated pictures and record of the walks they went on together. Would definitely recommend the app to everyone”
About: My name is Hannah, and I've been taking care of pets since a very young age. I love going on walks, no matter what the weather is, I will walk in any kind of weather just as long as the dog will walk. I like to take my time and build the pet's trust, even when they are shy at first. I always make sure I understand the information that is given to me. I love it when a pup gets used to seeing me, remembers my car, and gets so excited to see me. I did move from IL to Indiana, and i do have about 4 acres to run around to get some energy out.

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.

I will give them all the attention they need and deserve!

I can easily crate your fur baby if needed. While in your home I will follow all routines and send photos once I arrive, while inside, and after lock up.
About: I have always had a natural, unconditional love for animals. My family has always had pets! Since I was little, I've had three cats and three dogs. Each of our pets have had different personalities and needs, but it has always been easy to love them the same. I recently have raised my own two pets, Louis and Marie, and I have loved learning how they both tick in their own ways. I trained Louis from the day I brought him home, as I’ve had him since he was an itty bitty puppy. Since he is a dachshund, I have made preventive care outside of the vet’s office a priority through teeth brushing, daily walks, proper food portioning, and using dog stairs to make sure his joints are safe and healthy. With Marie, I have made socialization a priority so she feels comfortable everywhere she goes. I call her the Master Adjuster for this reason! I am also beginning to incorporate dental care into her needs. Having pets of my own, making sure animals are properly cared for is second nature for me. I am always conscious about crate time for my dog, as I want to make sure he is getting as much enrichment activity in. At the same time, I know he also needs time to relax and recharge. In terms of daily routine, my pets’ needs are attended to before mine are. They are fed and taken outside before I even brush my teeth, and at the end of the day, they are made ready before I start decompressing. I know many pets that need lots of time for activity as well as affection! Getting to know a pet’s personality as well as their needs is my favorite part about caring for them. Being aware of when a dog may need to go for a walk to get some energy out, knowing when they need to go outside, and being aware of when they just want to chill out is super important! The same can be said for cats—sometimes they need a lot of time to let out energy or exercise, and other times, they need to be alone.

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.
“Mercedes is my pups best friend. They know, that while in her care, they will be loved and cared for. This is their second visit with her and after only minutes of being back with her and her family, they knew where they were and settled right in. My pups love her and her family. I know that in her care, there’s no need to worry about them. She’s a kind and gentle soul who will take great care of your furry babies.”
