“I’m so happy to have found amber. I would recommend 100% she’s very nice, caring and thoughtful. She made me feel at ease knowing that that my pets were in good hands and that they were safe. I will definitely keep amber as my pets sitter.”
“Radha and Bart were amazing with Otto - they were incredibly considerate and willing to make any accommodations needed to make Otto comfortable, even going so far as to rearrange their furniture. They kept me updated on a daily basis with pictures and status updates on how Otto was doing, and spent a lot of time during our initial meetup and then when I dropped Otto off making sure they understood everything he needed and that I was comfortable leaving him in their care.”
“Ivette was terrific, kind and accommodating. She organized a fenced-in park where our dogs could meet a day beforehand. She appeared to cared for Miles like he was one of her own which I really appreciated. She did a great job following up with frequent updates and photos via text. She went beyond by washing Miles’ blanket after a few days too. I would let Ivette care for Miles again!”
“Chad was great with our pups! He was very communicative and kept us updated with photos throughout their stay. One of our dogs is on prescription food that was supposed to arrive the day before our trip, but unfortunately, it was delayed and arrived a couple of hours after we had already flown out of Austin. We really appreciated Chad’s willingness to swing by our house and grab the package off our porch. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was willing to go the extra mile for our pups!”
“Lindsey was terrific! She gave frequent updates with pictures. She also has a corgi named Zoe that is extremely cute! We are glad Biscuit has a corgi friend now. Lindsey is also very thoughtful and fed Biscuit throughout his stay, also letting him use Zoe’s crate. I would definitely book again and recommend Lindsey to anyone else looking for boarding services!”
“mia was awesome!! she kept me in the loop with daily updates and pictures of our pups playful time together. my pup had a great time. mia followed the care instructions and was easy to communicate with. she had a large crate and playpen all ready for my pup upon arrival :)”
“Had my original sitter fall through a couple days before my trip and Mina and Antony were super kind enough to plan a quick meet and greet with Riddim and I a day before my trip. Mina sent me photos multiple times throughout the day while I was away and Riddim looked super happy and well taken care of. It was my first time using Rover, and safe to say I found the people to take care of my doggo should I ever need them again. Can’t recommend them enough!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kyle was absolutely amazing! He was reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of our dog while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pup was in great hands. We would definitely book with Kyle again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! 🐾❤️”
“Andrew is an excellent pet sitter. He keeps me updated throughout the day with videos and pictures. I also like that he only accepts one booking at a time so I didn't have to worry about my boys not getting along with other cats. Will book again!”
“Janie is always amazing and Kirby loves her and the other pups! Every time we go to drop him off now he forgets all about us and is just so ready to play. We love having him stay with Janie.”
About: I have been pet sitting for 15 years and I have been a veterinary technician for 10 years. My family and I love dogs and cats with a passion! I am aware what to look out for trouble wise and will keep you informed I work full time as a veterinary technician however my schedule is repetitive so I can offer the same consistent care as I give to my own pets. I have a completely fenced yard and I do not leave any pets outside unsupervised at any time. I do not restrict pets from being on the furniture unless otherwise instructed and I will care for your pets just as I do my own.
“Amrita is the absolute best! My puppy fell sick a few days before the meet and she was incredibly accommodating. She was willing to give Maggi medicines during her stay and proactively shared updates and videos to ensure we felt at ease. Maggi was super comfortable the entire time and enjoyed her stay with Amrita. Strongly recommend!!”
“Amber is an amazing person: Sweet, caring and responsible. She took care of two of my dogs for 5 nights, including giving meds twice a day to my girl. When I picked them up, they were happy and relaxed. I recommend and definitely will take them again for her care.”
“We really loved how Elizabeth cared for our Murphy. He stayed with her for 6 days and looked super happy and relaxed the whole time. She sent us daily photo updates, which we really appreciated. We’d definitely trust her with him again!”
“This was our first time traveling since we got Teddy. He has separation anxiety, and we were nervous to leave him with a sitter. We felt like everything would be ok after meeting Keri, and she did a great job! She was very friendly and responsive, followed all of our instructions and sent photos to let us know how he was doing. He was happy and calm when we picked him up. I definitely recommended her services, and I plan to ask her to watch Teddy again.”

“Mia was absolutely great! We will absolutely be using her again in the future. She was always on time and if anything changed she communicated that to us. She followed all the directions that we left for her. She spent a lot of time with beans and also sent us very cute videos and pictures”
“**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️** We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter! From the moment she met them, we knew they were in great hands. She was incredibly attentive, kept us updated with photos and messages, and went above and beyond to make sure our cats were comfortable and happy. We came home to very content and well-cared-for pets. Highly recommend!”
“Amani took such great care of our cats! I received photos every day and great updates! I could tell they were well taken care of. The litter boxes were clean, and she even washed out their bowls and ensured that everything was neat before I returned!”
“Jackeline was so great. She took amazing care of our sweet pup, had clear communication, and even changed her schedule to fit in an extra unplanned visit. I would definitely hire her again to take care our our pup.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was young. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’m patient, gentle, and treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I already plan my days around feeding, walking, and checking on animals. I make time in the morning, afternoon, and evening for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and updates for owners. I stay organized so every pet gets attention and care throughout the day. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean space, fresh water, regular meals, and lots of attention. I follow the owner’s rules for feeding schedules, crate time, or training. In a client’s home, I keep their pet in their normal routine. I walk them, give them food and water, play with them, and send updates so owners know their pet is safe and happy.
About: I enjoy caring for cats and getting to know their unique personalities. I understand that many cats prefer a calm environment and time to warm up to new people, so I always approach them with patience and respect for their space. During visits I make sure litter boxes are clean, food and water are fresh, and cats receive attention based on what they’re comfortable with—whether that’s playtime, brushing, or simply quiet companionship. I pay close attention to each cat’s behavior and routine so they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know your cat is doing well. My goal is to provide reliable, gentle care so your cat can stay relaxed in their familiar environment.
About: Growing up i’ve always loved dogs and cats. i have a special place in my heart for animals. i used to take care of neighbors pets and family pets, which included training, bathing, walks and of course lots of quality time! I work a 9-5 during the weekdays but will still offer lots of love and attention to pets during my hour long lunch period and more on the weekends :) I always respect everyone’s requests when it comes to caring about their furry friend. as a pet parent myself i understand the importance of having your way of caring for your fur baby!
About: As a lifelong cat owner and former veterinary technician, I have experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities, from playful kittens to senior cats with special needs.

About: Hi, My name is Mia. I have about ten years of experience working with animals from animal shelters to vet clinics. I have experience fostering over fifty pets, including bottle babies and pets with special needs. I currently work as a legal assistant. M-F 10:00-5:00. PLEASE ENSURE YOU BOOK WITH ENOUGH TIME FOR A MEET & GREET TO BE SCHEDULED PRIOR TO MY FIRST VISIT. This is for my safety and the safety of your pets. I am always open to negotiation, but please keep in mind this helps pay my bills. I do have my own dog, but if your dog needs to stay overnight in my home, they will be kept separate. I am very responsible and would love to meet you and your fur babies. If you have any questions, please ask me :) Can’t wait to meet you. I work 10-5, but I work from home. Visits before and after are easy when in Elgin or nearby. If I pet sit at home, I will keep separate from my pet. It depends on what is needed, per the pets needs. I am happy to stop by, clean up, let them out and feed during visits.
“Raquel was the perfect pet sitter! She was very friendly and accommodating. I received plenty of photo and video updates during my puppy’s stay and she looked like she was having a great time. I especially appreciated her sending many pictures of her interacting with my puppy, I know she received plenty of attention during her stay. I would highly recommend this pet sitter!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both owning my own dogs and providing boarding for other families’ pets. Caring for dogs has been a meaningful part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding, daily walks, playtime, crate routines, basic grooming, administering oral medication, and caring for senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. Because I care for only one to three dogs at a time, I can provide personalized attention in a calm, low-stress environment. My home has a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, exercise, and relax under close supervision. I understand that every owner wants to know their pet is happy and safe. That’s why I provide regular photo and video updates throughout each stay and follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel at home. My goal is to give every dog a safe, loving, and comfortable experience while giving their family complete peace of mind. Welcome! I’m a dedicated dog lover who provides a safe, comfortable, and loving home where your dog will be treated like family. I live in a single-family home with a fully fenced backyard, giving dogs plenty of room to play, explore, and enjoy fresh air in a secure environment. Because I spend most of my time at home, your dog will receive lots of attention, supervision, companionship, and affection throughout the day. I intentionally accept only one to three dogs at a time so every guest receives personalized care instead of being part of a large group. I understand that every dog has different needs. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, a senior dog, or requires medication, I’ll carefully follow your instructions and maintain their regular routine. My goal is to make your dog feel relaxed, happy, and loved while you’re away. You’ll never have to wonder how your dog is doing. I’ll send multiple photo and video updates every day so you can enjoy your trip with complete peace of mind, knowing your best friend is having a wonderful time. For your convenience, I also offer pick-up and drop-off services. I speak both English and Mandarin Chinese, making communication easy for both English-speaking and Chinese-speaking families. Your dog’s safety always comes first. I provide a clean, calm, smoke-free, pet-friendly home where every dog is cared for with patience, kindness, and respect. I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their families, and I look forward to welcoming your furry friend into my home. Thank you for considering me. I can’t wait to meet you and your beloved companion! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my highest priorities. I live in a clean, smoke-free single-family home with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play under my supervision. I never leave dogs unattended outside, and I make sure they have a secure, comfortable indoor space to rest and relax. I only accept a small number of dogs at a time so I can provide each pet with plenty of individual attention and closely monitor their behavior. I carefully follow each owner’s feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions, and any special care requests to help pets feel comfortable and maintain their normal routine. Before introducing dogs to one another, I consider their personalities and comfort levels to ensure a safe and positive experience. If needed, I can keep dogs separated to reduce stress and provide one-on-one care. Throughout your pet’s stay, I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you always know how they’re doing. If I notice any changes in your pet’s behavior or health, I’ll contact you immediately and follow your instructions. If an emergency ever occurs, I will seek veterinary care right away and keep you informed every step of the way. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, low-stress environment where every pet feels at home and every owner feels confident and reassured.
“Some of the best doggie sitters out there! Our older little Paco has had a wonderful experience staying with Radha and Bart. Very professional and super attentive! Lovely people who sincerely look after our dog, and send lots of pictures and updates, which we appreciate so much. Highly recommended!!”
About: I have been a dog mama for over 15 years to 2 of the best girls. Both have passed now and while we would love to add another fur baby to our family, we are taking a break while raising our two tiny humans! Our most recent fur baby just passed 2 months ago, and we are looking to love on your sweet babies to bring some of that joy back into our home! We are very familiar with special skin care, medication, special diet needs, and separation anxiety! I'm a stay at home mom, so they will have lots of play and attention, walks around the neighborhood, especially to the local duck pond, as well as plenty of potty breaks in our big backyard! I'm a stay at home mom, so I'm available all day to take your fur babies for walks, let out for potty breaks, and get lots of play and attention! I have two kiddos who love dogs and love to play! I also have a good sized fenced in yard for running and potty breaks! I can provide a kennel if needed! My home is peaceful, and fully outfitted with security!
About: We both grew up with dogs of various sizes and love all animals. We have over 13 years of experience with caring for our own dogs, one of which has allergies and anxiety and requires routine medications. We will treat and love your dog as our own! Because of my WFH schedule, I have lots of flexibility to provide potty breaks, play with, and walk your pup throughout the day! I will stick to their routine and provide pictures and updates during their stay. We have a spacious home with a fenced backyard and a sweet 8 year-old dog, Rylee, who loves other dogs. We have used Rover for over four years, so we understand how important it is to find a sitter you can trust to love and care for your fur baby like you do. We are responsible pet parents who prioritize their comfort, safety, and needs. **Please note: we require a meet and greet prior to all new client bookings to ensure the dogs get along and to answer any questions you may have.
“Chad and Ellie are awesome, what a duo! Chad is great with communication, videos, pictures, and sharing the fun adventures Yoshi experiences with them. Will definitely book again! Thanks Chad and Ellie!”
“I have an energetic puppy dog and Brenda has been great in helping him learn to stay calm around and older, smaller dog. Everyday that I come to pick him up, he's in a great mood and she even sends me pictures of him throughout the day of him playing and having a good time in the backyard and sleeping in his puppy bed. I couldn't ask for a more responsible individual to care for my puppy. 10 out of 10, would book again!”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced dog owner and caregiver with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. I’ve worked with dogs ranging from small (3 lbs) to medium/large (up to 60 lbs), including puppies as young as 4 months and senior dogs requiring medication and extra care. I work fully remote, which means your dog will have consistent supervision and won’t be left alone for long periods. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, attention, and a steady routine throughout the day. I live in a clean, pet-friendly home with a large fenced yard where your dog can safely play and relax. I’m very attentive to routines, comfort, and safety, and I treat every pet like my own. I also have experience preparing homemade dog treats, so I’m always mindful of what pets consume and their overall well-being. I have my own dog, Bo, who is almost 15 and still healthy, active, and loves to run and jump around — which I truly believe comes from consistent care, attention, and a loving environment. Your pet will be in a calm, loving, and structured environment while you’re away — with plenty of attention, care, and affection. I am a full time professional and working remotely. I walk my 14.5 yr old, 12lb furbaby 3-4 times daily and enjoy the spending the outdoors time with my Bo and make him new friends. I treat every pet like my own and focus on creating a safe, stress-free environment. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and has a large fenced yard for safe outdoor play. Pets are always supervised outside and never left unattended. Because I work from home, your pet will have plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, and any medications or special care. If I’m in your home, I keep your pet’s routine consistent and your space respected. I also provide updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve taken care of puppies to senior dogs, as well as kittens to senior cats. I have experience giving medications to pets as well. I also have experience bathing, walking, and feeding. I’m currently working full time remotely at home. I have the flexibility to leave home to check on any fur babies when I need to. I have two kittens and a senior dog. They are very playful but are scared of bigger dogs at the moment. We are working on them seeing there is nothing to fear of.
About: I have been working with Rover for over 5 years. My 13-year-old lab crossed the rainbow bridge a few years ago, so I do not have any pets in my home and we do not take more than one family at a time. Animals are the best part of our world and nothing makes me happier than spending time with dogs and cats. I also volunteer for PALS, a program under Meals on Wheels, that provides food for animals in senior homes. I loved to walk my dog and would be more than happy to provide dog walking services to others on the weekends. I work weekdays, but am available before 8am after 5 pm and can provide services on Saturdays & Sundays. I cannot wait to meet your beloved pet. I currently work weekdays, but can devote time after work and weekends. I can utilize lunch breaks to check on pets and nights and weekends for more one on one time. I own a home with a fenced in yard for my dog. I will do anything and everything to ensure your animal’s safety and happiness.
“Jackeline was absolutely the best decision I could’ve made to walk and care for Buddy (Gold Retriever)! She went above and beyond to care for him. At the last minute another Rover canceled and thankfully I found Jackeline. She made our time away so comfortable knowing Buddy had her to look out for him. All the pictures and constant contact made it clear he was in great hands. There was a mix up on time and she helped with no problem. Choose her if you want to be sure you pet is in great hands too, I definitely will in the future.😊”

About: Hi! I love meeting new animals and getting to know their unique personalities. Every pet is different, and I enjoy learning what makes each one feel comfortable, happy, and safe. For the past three years I’ve been actively working on training my own dog, which has helped me learn a lot about patience, communication, and understanding animal behavior. That experience has made me even more passionate about caring for animals and helping them feel supported in new environments. I love helping animals and figuring out what works best for them—whether that’s playtime, a relaxing walk, or just a calm place to rest. My goal is always to make pets feel secure and cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and can accommodate regular walks, drop-ins, or sitting. I always aim to follow your pet’s normal routine and provide updates during visits. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I take time to understand each animal’s routine and personality so they feel secure and relaxed. I use safe handling practices, supervise pets closely, and maintain a calm environment. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I have over 20 years of personal, hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I regularly support friends and family with their pet care needs, from daily walks and playtime to feeding, companionship, and keeping routines consistent while they’re away. I’m comfortable caring for both energetic pets who love to play and explore, as well as couch-loving companions who prefer quiet company and naps. I have minor experience administering medications and assisting with basic medical care, and I always follow instructions carefully and ask questions when needed. I’m patient, observant, and genuinely love animals—I’m absolutely the person at every gathering who ends up sitting on the floor bonding with the pets. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. Pet care fits easily into my daily schedule. Outside of caring for my own pets, I’m very open and flexible, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, extended visits, and overnight care as needed. I plan my day around the pets I’m responsible for, making sure they get consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship. Whether your pet needs structured activity, relaxed company, or a mix of both, I’m happy to adjust my routine to match theirs. Reliability and clear communication are important to me, and I make sure pet care is never rushed or treated as an afterthought. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, and any household preferences. I treat every home with respect and care, making sure your pet’s space stays clean, safe, and calm. I take time to give pets attention and companionship—not just the basics—whether that means playtime, enrichment, or simply sitting with them so they don’t feel alone. I’m observant and communicative, and I provide updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a well-cared-for home. You want photo updates? I got you! :)

“Wow! What a great experience with Lakeisha! She was on time, Sat and talked to me about her history…very friendly, asked question about my dog, the whole 9 yards! My 90- pound dog really took to Keisha. She took him on a 30-minute walk and sent video while they walked. He was a well- behaved, happy to be on a walk dog!! I think she and my dog made an instant connect. He was happy when he got back and so was I. Lakeisha will be here 3 days a week and my pup and I look forward to it! I highly recommend Lakeisha!!”

I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood. My neighborhood is safe for walks, we even have walking trails and our own neighborhood dog park!
About: I have worked as a vet-tech and am fully confident in my pet care skills. I’ve pet sit for many years now and animals have taught me more about life than I could imagine! I absolutely love animals and keeping them happy. I stay healthy and would be able to keep up with any style pet. I love challenges and am up to anything thrown my way! As I have worked as a veterinarian technician, I am certified to administer medications of any kind, give injections, and of course properly groom from nail trimming to medicated baths! If the dog has any kind of special needs or wounds I am properly prepared to take care of the animal. I also have experience raising animals myself and love the process of working with a puppy to become a well-behaved adult dog! I am a stay at home dog mom so my days are fully dedicated to my pets and others, I have a completely open schedule for pet care! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company! I can easily crate your pet if needed and provide them with plenty potty breaks.

“Ivette was terrific, kind and accommodating. She organized a fenced-in park where our dogs could meet a day beforehand. She appeared to cared for Miles like he was one of her own which I really appreciated. She did a great job following up with frequent updates and photos via text. She went beyond by washing Miles’ blanket after a few days too. I would let Ivette care for Miles again!”
“Chad was great with our pups! He was very communicative and kept us updated with photos throughout their stay. One of our dogs is on prescription food that was supposed to arrive the day before our trip, but unfortunately, it was delayed and arrived a couple of hours after we had already flown out of Austin. We really appreciated Chad’s willingness to swing by our house and grab the package off our porch. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was willing to go the extra mile for our pups!”
“Had my original sitter fall through a couple days before my trip and Mina and Antony were super kind enough to plan a quick meet and greet with Riddim and I a day before my trip. Mina sent me photos multiple times throughout the day while I was away and Riddim looked super happy and well taken care of. It was my first time using Rover, and safe to say I found the people to take care of my doggo should I ever need them again. Can’t recommend them enough!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kyle was absolutely amazing! He was reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of our dog while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pup was in great hands. We would definitely book with Kyle again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! 🐾❤️”
About: I have been pet sitting for 15 years and I have been a veterinary technician for 10 years. My family and I love dogs and cats with a passion! I am aware what to look out for trouble wise and will keep you informed I work full time as a veterinary technician however my schedule is repetitive so I can offer the same consistent care as I give to my own pets. I have a completely fenced yard and I do not leave any pets outside unsupervised at any time. I do not restrict pets from being on the furniture unless otherwise instructed and I will care for your pets just as I do my own.
“Amber is an amazing person: Sweet, caring and responsible. She took care of two of my dogs for 5 nights, including giving meds twice a day to my girl. When I picked them up, they were happy and relaxed. I recommend and definitely will take them again for her care.”
“Arfa was amazing!!! She was super accommodating with a last minute request and change when I had an unexpected work trip. She was super communicative the whole time and my dog Tux seemed so happy! She sent so many pictures and made me feel so much peace of mind after moving to a new place where I don’t know anyone. I’m going to book her for more services for sure!”
“Shout out to Juan and Tina! We are beyond grateful for the incredible care they gave Stash. They truly went over and above in every way. From the moment we connected, we felt completely at ease knowing Stash was in loving, capable hands. They were attentive, thoughtful, and so intentional about making sure Stash was comfortable and happy. The updates, photos, and little details they shared meant so much to us and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear they genuinely love what they do — and it shows in the way they care. Stash was not just “watched,” he was cared for like family. We would absolutely trust Juan and Tina again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Cynthia was very kind with me and my pup. She sent photos and updates which I really appreciated, since it was our 1st time booking. We will definitely be book again my Quincey loves it over there.”
“Miho is an amazing caring and trustable dog sitter. Our Ella loved spending time with Miho and her wonderful Arden, felt welcoming and had so much fun. Also the daily updates and pictures made the time away from our baby much easier. Thank you so much :)”
“Cheyanne was great with my pup during her boarding. She sent plenty of pictures and kept me updated on how my dog was doing. I felt very comfortable leaving Rebel with Cheyanne and will definitely be doing so again in the future. Her home is great, with a spacious yard in the back.”
“A great dog sitter! I received lots of pics and videos. My dog had a great time, lots of attention and got to play with other dogs. I definitely recommend Jehisson!”
“Cassandra & Jason were great sitters for my dog, Luna. They were extremely communicative, quick to respond, and provided many updates throughout the weekend. When I picked up Luna, I could tell she would love to stay there again!”
“Jacob is an amazing Human and a stellar dog sitter. It’s evident from the regular updates with photos, asking lots of questions to make sure he knows your pup’s particular needs. Highly recommend and happy to have found Jacob!”
“Misti was a great Rover. Communication was very prompt and her pup was very sweet and played nicely with my energetic doodle. Thank you again, and I hope to continue to use Misti in the future :)”
“Sarah was an incredible! Her house is so well suited to host your fur babies, she provides the sweetest updates and could not be more excited to love on your best friend while you’re away.”
