“Incredible experience with Brennen, I couldn’t be happier and would book her again in a heartbeat! They send plenty of photos and videos of our boy having fun, we were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing that Ponch was well taken care of!”
“Jennifer and her family were great with Charlie! She kept me updated with pics and really seemed to enjoy having him around. Charlie made some new best friends with her dogs and had a great time ?? I highly recommend Jennifer and will definitely ask her to watch Charlie again in the future!”
“This is my second time having Kristen take care of Lilith while I was away. She did an amazing job once again! Great communication. I would highly recommend Kristen to anyone looking for their pet to be loved and well taken care of.”
“Shannon was great with our pet Zeke in booking a last minute reservation. She was great with communication and photos while we were away which helped with ease of mind. She seemed experienced in pet care and that was also a plus. We would definitely bring Zeke back for a future visit.”
“Lauren is amazing! She watched my two dogs last minute, followed their feeding and medication schedule, took them on walks, and sent lots of photos and updates. I always am nervous to leave my dogs somewhere new and she completely put me at ease. My pups came back happy and relaxed, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in great hands. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”
“Alise and her husband did a wonderful job taking care of my Schnoodle for the weekend. She communicated with me throughout the weekend providing photos of some of the activities. They seemed to give my dog lots of love and she returned to me happy and healthy.”
“This was my labs first time spending overnights with someone other than friends and family. They seemed to adjust well under Lindsay's care with no issues. Lindsay followed my instructions accordingly and for that I'm very grateful. I would recommend Lindsay to my friends. Thank you for loving my girls!”
“Alicia and her family took the absolute best care of my two pups! They had a wonderful stay filled with lots of cuddles and playtime. Alicia kept me well-informed with regular updates and photos, so I knew they were happy and comfortable the entire time. She was also extremely flexible when my travel plans changed slightly, which I am incredibly grateful for. I’m so happy I found her on Rover, she is officially my go-to sitter!”
“Maria was so kind and patient with my spoiled rotten doodle! I know my pup can be a handful, and I know she had a hard time being away from me for the first time overnight, but Maria did everything possible to keep her happy. She also was wonderful about working with me on pickup and drop off! Traffic was terrible, and she was very accommodating. Thank you, Maria!”
“Martina, did an amazing job with our Snuggles. She sent pictures and gave us updates throughout his stay. He appeared to be well kept and happy. We will definitely use her services again in the future!”
“Audrey was honestly the best. Our cat Nova had a great time and was obviously very cared for. Audrey had great and fast communication, kept us in the loop constantly. She also gave us lots of pictures. 10/10 would recommend.”
“I know when I drop my dog off with Leigh and her husband that he's going to be taken care of. Photos during the stay to show me he's relaxed and having fun. Thanks again!”
“Our girls love going to grandma's house! We jokingly say that because it is exactly how it feels - the atmosphere, the comfort, Evelyn's sweet demeanor. She takes great care of our girls and really does care. We can't recommend her enough!”
“Paola was the BEST, hands down!! 🥰 She was so accommodating with my Gracie the entire weekend, and she was even able to do overnights for me at the last minute. Her flexibility was absolutely amazing! 🙌🏽 I’m VERY picky about who I leave Gracie with because she has really bad separation anxiety, and it’s not easy for me to trust just anyone with her. So please believe me when I say Paola is REALLY good at what she does! ❤️ She kept my Gracie happy, comfortable, and content the entire weekend, and that means EVERYTHING to me. 🥹🐾 I honestly couldn’t thank her enough for taking such great care of my baby! If you’re ever in the Elgin area and need a dog sitter, I HIGHLY recommend Paola! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You will not be disappointed! 🤗🐶💕”
“We had a great experience! Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. We would definitely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

Parker wasn't feeling well one day and Kayla took him to the vet to check everything out. I received lots of photos and Kayla is easy to communicate with. Definitely recommend!”
“I am over pleased with Miriael. Fancy was well taken care of and learned some things about potty training that we have been working on prior to the booking. I will definitely be using her again. Also, I do think that she definitely deserves a tip, but I’m not able to leave what she deserves at the moment, but I will make it up on future bookings. Thumbs up to Miriael.”

About: I have had animals in my life since I was a little girl. I am self employed and work from home, which blesses me with the freedom and flexibility to give both time and attention to your beloved. Between my husband and I there is almost always someone home to love and care for your furbabies. We know that your furbaby is more than a pet; that they are family. Know they will be well cared for and loved just like they are our very own. I've owned several animals from dogs, cats, chickens, pythons, gators, fish, birds...etc When I say I love animals, I love all animals. I've cared for and owned many dog breeds since I was a child from Mutts, Beagles, Labs, and a Chihuahua (who was trained like a lab). I've watched, and cared for other people's furry family members many times as well. I have also cared for special need pups such as high anxiety, trauma, stressed shelter pups, gave medication, and watched over elderly dogs. It's NO challenge to do what needs to be done to make sure ALL your loved ones great, small, and of different backgrounds, and personalities feel safe, secure, and loved. Since our beloved little dog passed we have chosen to not own any more but have plenty of love and attention to give to yours! We don't ever watch pups from different families unless owners tell us it's ok otherwise. So unless you say it's ok, rest assured that your pups will be the only one's in our care. Thank you for entrusting us with your beloved family member! We are both excited and honored to be able to give your sweet one's a mini vacation of their own while you're away. My husband and I are self employed and spend most of our time at home. While you're loved one is in our care, they will be our main focus and have all of our attention. We have a ton of space to be able to take great walks. Unfortunately it's not fenced so your pup will need to be leashed unless trained to not need one and personally told to not use one. We do our best to acclimate ourselves to each furbaby's personality. Some are super active so we make sure they get tons of playtime. If they are snugglers, they get lots of snuggles. If they like to just relax, then that's what we'll do. We just want any that are in our care to feel right at home.
About: I have always been drawn to animals. Since I was a little girl, I've cared for all types of animals, except spiders and snakes!! I have trained a boxer/blue heeler, mini pinscher, poodle, and jack russells. Senior dogs have also been in my care. I also enjoy walking dogs. My daily schedule is flexible because I am caring for my disabled child, who also loves animals. I would be open to weekly and weekend availability. I am reliable, respectful, trustworthy, and professional. Safety is my 1st concern and I would care for your fur babies as though they are my own.
About: I've volunteered at a shelter with cats as well as rescued lost/feral. I offer drop in visits or boarding at my house. I will clean the litter box, refill food and water dish and play comfort your cats while you are away. I will regularly send you pictures and updates so that you don't have to worry about their well being.
About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs my whole life! I have experience with young, senior, active, and working dogs. My family dog growing up was born deaf and with a thyroid condition so I am very familiar with medication admission or other disabilities. My husband and I often work different shifts so someone is often home with the dog(s). I have no problem moving work around to care for your furbaby! I have a fenced in yard and large home. There is only one dog and plenty of room for the dogs to stretch their legs or spread out. I am active and will run or walk your pet!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Woodrow
“I appreciate that Brennan took Lexi and Sundae for several hours of daycare without having a lot of time to plan ahead. That help was tremendous, and the girls seemed to have a great time. Thank you Brennan for sending the photos during their stay.”
“We have used Shannon a few times to watch our pup, Bruiser, and I cannot recommend her enough! Bruiser absolutely LOVES going to her house. He gets so excited the second we pull into her driveway, which gives me so much peace of mind knowing he feels comfortable, safe, and happy there. Shannon is dependable, caring, and treats him like one of her own. She is also very responsive and even sends pics of my baby while I’m away! I know he is in good hands when he is with her. Will be using her as much as we can!”
“My dog, Peaches, loved her stay here for day care. She had lots of attention, treats, and play time with other animals. That being said mariadelcarmen always asked for permission prior to feeding her anything. She sent lots of check in photos I greatly appreciated!!”

About: Hi there! I am a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. My background includes working in both veterinary and pet insurance settings, so I’m very comfortable handling pets with all types of medical needs and administering medications safely and correctly (oral, topical, injectable, and more). I am also comfortable with other critters as needed on a case by case basis. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science with a concentration in Equine Science and Companion Animals, and I’ve dedicated my time outside of my 9-5 to helping pets live happy, healthy lives. I currently have two dogs and a cat, a turtle, a tortoise, and 5 fish tanks. This is an animal loving home without a doubt. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member behind when you travel or need extra help. My goal is to make things easier by providing reliable, compassionate care you can trust, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in great hands. I work from home full-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. For boarding, that means I’m able to give them as much or as little attention as they want. Whether they’re social snugglers or prefer their own space. I keep a calm, comfortable environment and make sure their needs are always met. While we do have other animals in the home, I am able to provide a private place for your pet if needed, and typically do dedicate one private space for any cat boarders. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can also easily fit in drop-in visits before or after work, ensuring pets get reliable care and consistent routines. Pet care naturally fits into my day because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. All animals must be dog and cat friendly. If you're boarding a cat, they will NOT have access to our cat since they're a bit more difficult to socialize. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a calm, comfortable environment where the animal can feel safe and relaxed. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible regarding feeding times, litter maintenance, playtime, and quiet time! I also make sure they get the right balance of attention and independence based on their personality. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and routines with the same respect and care I would my own. I pay close attention to any specific instructions for feeding, medications, or enrichment, and always take time to make pets feel loved and secure while their people are away. Communication is key for me, so I provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind every step of the way.
About: Dogs are my passion.A dogs happiness is my happiness. I currently work at a dog daycare/boarding facility and I have worked with training dogs, dog sitting etc for a little over 4 years. I currently work part time, and watch, walk and welcome dogs anytime after 12 on the weekdays and anytime on the weekends. Your pet will be more than welcome and I’ll accommodate your pet anyway I can. I have a fenced in yard, and two amazingly friendly dogs, also I can crate your dog if you prefer. I have a large kennel, or if you prefer to bring your own. Whatever the client prefers.
“This was our first time using Rover and Leigh was an awesome puppy sitter! We will definitely be using her again, it's nice to know our dog is well taken care of if we need to go out of town.”
“We left two our two Australian Shepherd mixes with Paola for the day while attending a family reunion from out of town and were happy with their care. The dogs were comfortable with her and enjoyed relaxing in her comfy air conditioned home on a hot day. She sent photos and sent them home with cute report pages about their adventures.”
“Luna was very happy to stay with Kika on her first visit! Kika was easy to coordinate/communicate with, has a nice big yard and house, and is trustworthy and kind. I felt comfortable that Luna had everything she needed while with Kika and appreciated receiving updates. We will be going back. recommended!”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with a strong background in behavior science. I have professional experience working in applied behavior analysis and I am currently completing my degree in psychology, where I focus on how behavior is shaped through the environment and reinforcement. Dogs have always been a central part of my life. I currently live with three dogs, including high-drive working breeds, so I understand the importance of exercise, structure, and mental engagement. Because of my background in behavior science, I focus on positive reinforcement, clear communication, and creating calm, safe environments for dogs. Whether your dog needs a reliable walk, companionship while you are away, or someone who understands behavior and energy levels, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, engaged, and well cared for. I am especially comfortable with active breeds and dogs that need extra structure or mental stimulation. Services offered may include walks, drop-in visits, and companionship depending on your dog’s needs. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care for pets throughout the day. I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your dog’s needs. Because I manage my own schedule, I can often accommodate last-minute walks or drop-in visits as well. I provide a safe and structured environment for all pets in my care. My home has secure housing and a safely fenced yard where dogs can exercise and explore under supervision. I am attentive to each dog’s comfort level and carefully monitor interactions to ensure everyone remains calm and safe. I also maintain clean conditions by regularly disinfecting surfaces, water bowls, and common areas to help protect the health of the animals in my care.

About: We are a military family, we’ve moved around quite a bit and have opened our home to so many dogs in so many different states. I have 3 kids who are used to animals (especially bigger dogs). We have a private yard (unfenced, leads and leashes used and always supervised). We recently welcomed a dog permanently into our home so we do have one female dog in the house, she is crated when needed and very friendly otherwise. I’m home all day and would love a buddy or two to join us from time to time! I only ask that dogs are kid friendly! We don’t mind animals on furniture but will adhere to any at home rules you may set (if you don’t allow them to do certain things at home, I won’t deter any training and let them do it here and vice versa!). Crate trained dogs are preferred but definitely not required! Just know a lot of dogs may do better in a new setting by having their own spaces to retreat to! I’m a stay at home mom, other than school drop off/pick up & errands, I’m home to care for pets in my home or visit a pet in their home We treat all pets like they're part of the family. When it comes to caring for pets, I'm all about creating a cozy, safe, fun environment for them. From belly rubs to fetch sessions, I'd make sure they feel right at home. We live on a private road with plenty of space to run around. Whether it's a scratch behind the ears or a tasty treat, I'd give them all the love and attention they deserve. And you can bet I'd be sending you cute photos and updates to let you know they're in good hands!

About: I’ve had my own 3 dogs for the last 6 years. Before that, I would take care of my friends animals. I often dog sit and cat sit for close friends and family. Figured I would do it on here, too! I have trained all of my dogs, nothing crazy. Just the basics. One of my dogs does have health issues and another has really bad allergies so I definitely know what it’s like to have a certain routine per animal. All my animals needs are different and I’m here to provide that to lessen your stress ☺️ All day, all night!!! I am also able to travel. I drive a lot so I don’t mind if I have to travel a bit. I would love for the pet owners to give me a run down no matter what! Even if your animal is low maintenance. My dogs are high maintenance so I’m also used to that. I just like specific instructions, I feel it makes it easier for everyone involved! Especially if I’m pet sitting in your home. That’s your safe space.
About: I’ve taken care of many different types of animals all my life and been care taker with medicine, giving birth, wounds, etc and wouldn’t trade it for the world of the knowledge I’ve gained and the love for them!

I have watched every animal you can think of(horses goats, reptiles, fish, dogs, cats, ducks, chickens, donkeys etc so no animal is out of my comfort zone! I am also cpr, first aid certified with dogs! I do pet sitting around my main commitments, so i can work around specific needs if planned ahead so I’m able to give pets the attention and care they need. I also plan my calendar carefully to avoid overbooking and ensure each pet gets quality time. When I pet sit in someone’s home, I treat their pets and space with the same respect and care I would my own. I follow all feeding, medication, and routine instructions closely to ensure the pets stay healthy and comfortable. I spend quality time playing with them, walking them if needed, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I also keep the home tidy, bring in mail or packages, water plants if requested, and provide regular updates and photos so the owners can relax knowing their pets and home are in good hands.
About: I have had animals in my life since I was a little girl. I am self employed and work from home, which blesses me with the freedom and flexibility to give both time and attention to your beloved. Between my husband and I there is almost always someone home to love and care for your furbabies. We know that your furbaby is more than a pet; that they are family. Know they will be well cared for and loved just like they are our very own. I've owned several animals from dogs, cats, chickens, pythons, gators, fish, birds...etc When I say I love animals, I love all animals. I've cared for and owned many dog breeds since I was a child from Mutts, Beagles, Labs, and a Chihuahua (who was trained like a lab). I've watched, and cared for other people's furry family members many times as well. I have also cared for special need pups such as high anxiety, trauma, stressed shelter pups, gave medication, and watched over elderly dogs. It's NO challenge to do what needs to be done to make sure ALL your loved ones great, small, and of different backgrounds, and personalities feel safe, secure, and loved. Since our beloved little dog passed we have chosen to not own any more but have plenty of love and attention to give to yours! We don't ever watch pups from different families unless owners tell us it's ok otherwise. So unless you say it's ok, rest assured that your pups will be the only one's in our care. Thank you for entrusting us with your beloved family member! We are both excited and honored to be able to give your sweet one's a mini vacation of their own while you're away. My husband and I are self employed and spend most of our time at home. While you're loved one is in our care, they will be our main focus and have all of our attention. We have a ton of space to be able to take great walks. Unfortunately it's not fenced so your pup will need to be leashed unless trained to not need one and personally told to not use one. We do our best to acclimate ourselves to each furbaby's personality. Some are super active so we make sure they get tons of playtime. If they are snugglers, they get lots of snuggles. If they like to just relax, then that's what we'll do. We just want any that are in our care to feel right at home.

About: I have been raised alongside animals all my life. I've had dogs for as long as I remember ranging from pitbulls to great danes, and from chihuahuas to jack russells. I'm actually attending school to become a veternarian due to my unwavering attention of animals of all kinds. Pet care is a natural part of our daily family life. As a parent and a pet owner myself, our home is always filled with love and structure. We specialize in boarding, daycare, and drop-in visits, so your pup will instantly become a part of our routine. We don't have a fenced yard, but we do have a massive open field perfect for leashed exploration, long-line fetch, and active outdoor time! Whether socializing with my dog, playing with my child, or running in the field, your pup will be safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is a natural part of our daily family life. As a working parent who is also in school, our home operates on a reliable, structured routine built around my baby's schedule and my daily commitments. My school schedule is about to become much busier, I am highly focused on managing my time effectively. Please note that I may not always be able to respond to text messages immediately while I am in class or focused on work, but I will always check in and provide updates as soon as I am free! Because our days are busy, your pup will get a highly active experience—on days when I am completely washed with school or work activities, I often bring my guest pets along with me so they get extra socialization, stimulation, and real-world fun! My Care Standards: Boarding & Daycare (In My Home): Guest pets enjoy supervised playtime with my dog, kid-friendly interactions, and leashed outdoor exercise in our large open field. All guest dogs must be friendly with children and other pets. House Sitting (In Your Home): My house sitting service is primarily an overnight stay focused on evening companionship and morning routines, supplemented by a reliable midday check-in rather than constant 24/7 care. Drop-In Visits: I provide reliable, structured check-in blocks tailored around my daily routine to ensure consistent potty breaks, meals, and companionship in your pet's own home.I prioritize clear communication, strict safety, and a predictable routine for every pet in my care!
About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs my whole life! I have experience with young, senior, active, and working dogs.

There is only one dog and plenty of room for the dogs to stretch their legs or spread out. I am active and will run or walk your pet!
About: I have raised a dog from a puppy to senior life. I love my dogs like they are my children. I feel the same with other dogs.

If you need other availability, please let me know. I can easily crate your pet(s) in your home if needed. We would just talk with each other to make sure that we are in agreement with how you would like me to provide the service(s). I understand the importance to keep the routine that their owner has for them.

Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”

Lindsay followed my instructions accordingly and for that I'm very grateful. I would recommend Lindsay to my friends. Thank you for loving my girls!”
“Alicia and her family took the absolute best care of my two pups! They had a wonderful stay filled with lots of cuddles and playtime. Alicia kept me well-informed with regular updates and photos, so I knew they were happy and comfortable the entire time. She was also extremely flexible when my travel plans changed slightly, which I am incredibly grateful for. I’m so happy I found her on Rover, she is officially my go-to sitter!”
“Maria was so kind and patient with my spoiled rotten doodle! I know my pup can be a handful, and I know she had a hard time being away from me for the first time overnight, but Maria did everything possible to keep her happy. She also was wonderful about working with me on pickup and drop off! Traffic was terrible, and she was very accommodating. Thank you, Maria!”

“Paola was the BEST, hands down!! 🥰 She was so accommodating with my Gracie the entire weekend, and she was even able to do overnights for me at the last minute. Her flexibility was absolutely amazing! 🙌🏽 I’m VERY picky about who I leave Gracie with because she has really bad separation anxiety, and it’s not easy for me to trust just anyone with her. So please believe me when I say Paola is REALLY good at what she does! ❤️ She kept my Gracie happy, comfortable, and content the entire weekend, and that means EVERYTHING to me. 🥹🐾 I honestly couldn’t thank her enough for taking such great care of my baby! If you’re ever in the Elgin area and need a dog sitter, I HIGHLY recommend Paola! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You will not be disappointed! 🤗🐶💕”

About: I have more than 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and needs. I raised my two dogs, a Golden Retriever and a Cane Corso, from puppyhood through their senior years. They were part of my family for 14 and 11 years, so I have firsthand experience with every stage of a dog's life, from energetic puppies and adult dogs to seniors who need extra patience and attention. My experience with dogs actually began much earlier. Growing up, my family had a female French Poodle and a female Labrador, which also gave me experience caring for female dogs, including during their heat cycles. My Golden Retriever and Cane Corso were intact males, so I am comfortable with the additional care and management that intact dogs may require. I also have experience caring for other people's pets. While completing my master's and Ph.D. in Tallahassee, I pet sat for families with dogs of different sizes and breeds, sometimes caring for two dogs in the same household. I handled feeding, walks, playtime, routines, and companionship while their owners were away. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine. Whether your dog is a puppy, an energetic adult, a large breed, or a senior, my priority is to provide patient, attentive care and make them feel safe and comfortable while they are with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible teaching schedule and am home for significant portions of the day, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. I am an experienced dog owner, and caring for dogs has been part of our daily lives for many years. I am happy to follow your dog's usual feeding, walking, exercise, and bedtime routine so they can feel as comfortable and at home as possible while you are away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care. I provide a calm, attentive home environment and will follow your dog's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I have experience with puppies, adult and senior dogs, large breeds, intact dogs, and multi-dog households. I pay close attention to each dog's behavior and individual needs and will keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention.
“Kayla and John are so awesome! This is the third time they have watched my baby Parker and once again he had an excellent time. Parker wasn't feeling well one day and Kayla took him to the vet to check everything out. I received lots of photos and Kayla is easy to communicate with. Definitely recommend!”
“Amanda and her sweet kiddos took such great care of our Bode. He was so loved, made to feel right at home, and welcomed in. We asked him if he had a nice time, and although he didn’t answer, we are pretty sure he would if he could, and would have rave reviews. Thank you!!”
“I am over pleased with Miriael. Fancy was well taken care of and learned some things about potty training that we have been working on prior to the booking. I will definitely be using her again. Also, I do think that she definitely deserves a tip, but I’m not able to leave what she deserves at the moment, but I will make it up on future bookings. Thumbs up to Miriael.”
