“Frank and Julie are the best! They are very responsive and give great updates with pictures and videos. They have a nice big fenced in area where our pup loves to run around. It’s hard for us to leave our pup, but we know she is in good hands with Frank and Julie. Highly recommend!”
“Bobbi was so wonderful with Jetta! She was a great communicator and went above and beyond when a totally unexpected situation arose. We are so appreciative of the affection, attention and care that was given to Jetta by Bobbi and her family. Jetta absolutely loved her time there and adapted so well! 💜”
“Gina provided complete security and peace of mind for our first time leaving Charlie for an extended length of time. Communication was consistent and detailed with adorable photos. Absolutely will use Gina again in the future, highly recommend”
“Emily was fantastic! Our dog loved every minute of being there. She was very communicative during our week long vacation and made sure to send lots of photos of our Pen getting loved on. We will absolutely be booking with Emily for any future trips or just for a small pooch vaca for our dog. We highly recommend!”
“Korri was able to help us out in a pinch and took our dog over the long weekend! She took SUCH good care of him and treated him as her own! She sent us updates and many pictures!!! She was very timely with her response and we never worried about if our dog was in good hand our whole trip! ?Thanks again Korri!”
“I'm thrilled to share my fantastic experience with Kristina, who cared for Hiro. Hiro had an incredible time and returned home happy and content. Kristine provided excellent care, and I appreciated her commitment to ensuring Hiro's well-being. She helped burn energy out of my high-energy Samoyed pup; I highly recommend her services! I will definitely book with her again when I go out of town!”
“I want to thank Bobbie and Clark for their excellent care of Leo. They helped us out on very short notice due to a prior cancellation. Daily communication with pictures. I know Leo was well taken care of. I would highly recommend Bobble and Clark.”
“Ganelle and her family were great. She was responsive and took great care of my Kena during our holiday break. She sent multiple pictures and updates during her stay. Would highly recommend Ganelle if you were looking for a sitter.”
“Maria took such great care of our pup while we were away! She sent us pictures with updates, which made us feel connected! I highly recommend Maria for care, we will be booking again for future needs!”
“Chase & Jessica were very welcoming to my Chihuahua, Chip! I appreciated the help with my pup & their updates & flexibility were great as well! Thank you both!! If you're looking for a dog-sitter, don't hesitate with Chase/Jessica!”
“It was our first time using Rovers and leaving our dog, PJ, with someone who was not family. Mark and Susan were great with her and provided us updates over the weekend while away. Appreciated them having a meet & greet prior to us leaving her for the weekend. PJ got lots of walks and attention and was very content under their care. Overall, a great first experience. We will definitely reach out to them in the future when are in need of care for PJ.”
“Anu and her family are wonderful and took amazing care of our Daisy while we were on vacation. It is clear that they love dogs and are very knowledgeable caring for them. Discussed food, meds, routine and behaviors ahead of time. Great communication and appreciated the many photo and video updates while we were away. I would definitely book with Anu again.”
“Kathy did a great job. She came through for me at a moments notice when my boarder had a cancellation. Her dogs did well with my boy. He came home happy and tired which is a good thing.”
“Don took our pups into his home while we were out of town for a night. We did a meet and greet with Don and Billee the week before so our dogs could get familiar with their surroundings, and when we dropped them off on the day of their stay they ran right in to the house and yard as if they'd been there many times! Don gave our pups lots of attention and they were very well cared for. They had a great time and came home exhausted! We would definitely recommend Don to other people looking for an attentive dog sitter!”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“This was my first time leaving Charlie with Amy; he stayed for a few days, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the start, I felt such peace knowing that he was in good hands. Amy along with her sweet daughters took amazing care of Charlie —he looked so happy and comfortable in every adorable photo update I received! Communication was great throughout the stay, and it was clear Charlie was treated like family. I am so grateful and will definitely book again! Thank you Amy”

“Very prompt and punctual. She hung out with my dog, Willow, and even made a pile of sticks for her in the yard (her favorite things in the world are her sticks). Lots of photos and videos of their time together were appreciated”
“Grim and Mathieu were happy and healthy when I returned! I appreciated Debbie's heads up about a few things she noticed during her visits as well as her notes about how they were doing. I would definitely book her again!”
“Laura was absolutely incredible! She treated my animals like her own, followed my instructions to a T (because one of my cats takes meds), used the Rover card daily with detailed updates and plenty of cute photos, and showed my cats plenty of love when I was away and unable to. She was phenomenal and I will absolutely be using her again in the future!”

“Brianna was an exceptional pet sitter while we were away on a trip. She not only took impeccable care of our cats and home but also went above and beyond to ensure everything was safe and sound. We greatly appreciated the photos she sent of our pets, which gave us peace of mind. As first-time users of the pet-sitting app, we had numerous questions, and Brianna’s quick and informative responses made the process seamless. She even took the time to meet with us before we left, allowing us to show her around and discuss our pets' needs. Brianna’s dedication and attentiveness helped us feel relaxed and confident during our trip, knowing our home and beloved animals were in good hands. We highly recommend her to anyone in the Fox Valley area looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Brianna, for your outstanding service!”

All drop in visits and walks scheduled are provided by myself, but he takes care or most Day Care days. My fiancé works from home and can provide regular potty and exercise breaks. We have a fenced yard, however the fence is not the tallest. We can accommodate non-escape artists and require meet and greets for all Day Care participants.

“Emily was outstanding! She completed several early morning drop-ins for our cats over the holiday period with no problem. We had somewhat specific instructions and Emily was able to complete everything with ease. Through the photos and updates Emily provided daily, it was evident our two cats were very comfortable with Emily and enjoyed her company. When the need arises for future drop-ins, we will definitely book with Emily again!!”

About: I have always had pets from childhood on...dogs, cats, rabbits, birds. I often watch my family's and friend's pets as needed. I enjoy having extra pets in my home and meeting their personalities. I work part-time so I have a pretty flexible schedule to work around. I'm active and like to get out for walks so having dogs to take is even better! I have 2 friendly cats of my own right now. They get along with other pets well. Cats and dogs would be loose to explore and get comfortable. If they are normally crated at home during certain hours I'd ask you to bring your crate

“I would highly recommend Frank And Julie as your next Dog Sitters. After being referred to them, when I reached out, I had let Frank know I was having a hard time locating them in the Rover app. He went out of his way to help me get things going. Once we were able to set up a time for an initial meet and greet, due to a really bad storm that was rolling in, they were flexible with changing the time for us. That’s when we got to see the fantastic location (their house and property), where they take care of the dogs. While we were getting to know them, they were getting to know our dogs, and asked lots of great questions to make sure they understood how we approach our pups. In addition to their fenced in yard, they have acres and acres of land and are very happy to take dogs out for walks to let them burn their energy. A couple days later, our dog spent the day with them and everything went really really well, and our dogs were so very tired out when we got them back. We even got lots of pictures while we were gone for the day which we really appreciated. Frankie and Julie really understand what it is to be a pet owner and strive to treat our dogs as their own. Again, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for day-to-day dog sitting, and we are looking forward to using them for an upcoming vacation.”
“This is the second time I’ve booked with Don for doggy daycare. He sends photo and video updates throughout the day and takes time to ensure my dog is having fun at him home! There is lots of space for him to run and play outside. Don is the best when it comes to communicating and caring for my pup.”

About: Since childhood, I have been responsible for the care of various animals, including dogs, cats, and small animals of diverse species. Among these, dogs hold a special place in my heart as my favorite animal. As a full-time stay-at-home mother, I am constantly at home with my children and dogs. During the summer months, we thoroughly enjoy spending time outdoors. I have a spacious backyard that is not fenced in, but I have a long tie-out if needed for your furry friends. Your pets will be well cared for.
About: Hello! My name is Sadie. I’m a board certified behavior analyst who works with children on the Autism Spectrum. I have a soft spot in my heart for all animals- I was that child that stepped over ants to avoid squishing them. I grew up with a Springer Spaniel, cats, and a rabbit (: I currently have 3 cats, Nimi, Gizmo, Figarro, and a dog named Perci. Additionally, I have experience caring for ferrets, goats, sheep, and fish. I’ll treat your animals as my own, and show them endless love and care. I’m super excited to meet you and your animals! I currently work full time M-F, but do make my own schedule. I see a lot of my clients either before or after work. I also have weekends off! Meet and greets are important to me for boarding to ensure it’s a good fit for your dog. However, I understand if it is not feasible. I have a dog and 3 cats who are free to roam the house and are allowed on furniture. My dog sleeps with me so yours is more than welcome to join the snuggle party! I also have a daughter (3 years old) who loves her animals, so your fur baby will get lots of love from all of us.

“Sarah was wonderful! She was incredibly patient with both my pup and me. He can be a bit anxious and isn’t used to being away from his family, but Sarah took the time to help him feel comfortable and secure enough to enjoy his walk. Her communication was excellent, and I felt confident that she would treat him with kindness and compassion!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and truly enjoy building trust with each animal I work with. I have experience with in-home dog sitting for families while they are on vacation, as well as daytime dog walking and regular drop-in visits. I’ve even cared for and traveled with pets of A-list celebrities! Over the years, I’ve primarily cared for medium and large dogs of all personalities, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and routine. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and calm in every situation, making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. My goal is always to provide consistent care, plenty of attention, and peace of mind for pet parents. I’m currently working part-time, so will have plenty of time to care for your pet. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I intentionally build my schedule around the time and attention pets need. I prioritize consistent visits, walks, and check-ins so each pet gets reliable care and lots of attention. At home I have a black lab! I care for pets as if they were my own, with a focus on safety, consistency, and lots of attention. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible with feeding schedules, walks, and playtime so they experience minimal disruption.
“Madalyn is consistent and flexible on scheduling walks! She was so kind to my dog when she realized he was scared of a thunderstorm! She sat with him and came back later to walk him when the storm was over.”
About: I have a lifetime of experience in loving animals, I’ve had dogs my entire life. I am loving, gentle and kind and will care for your family members as you would!

I have a big back yard, no fence but enough of an area to safely play outside on long leash if that’s an option for your animals.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have taken care of cats within the last few years. I love animals regardless of if they're mine or not. I go to school and I work part time. I will typically have plenty of time on the weekends and after school to walk or care for dogs or cats. I have a big backyard and my dogs and cats are pretty easy going with new animals. I love spending time with animals and will play with and take care of them as much as possible.
About: I have three cats of my own that I took in that needed homes as they were in foster care. I adore these sweet babies and make sure they have everything they need always. I have plenty of fun and busy cat toys for them to play with and towers to play on , along with many cat beds. I work full time from home so I will be available all Day for your animals and they will be supervised at all Times as well. My animals are my babies. They are spoiled but also very well behaved. If I could, I would take in all animals That are in need of a good home!
About: I have had animals since I was a newborn, surrounded by cats, dogs, mice, you name it! Continuing my love for animals, I work full time at a doggy daycare, which I have been at for over a year. I have 2 animals of my own, and work at a doggy daycare. Pet care is LITERALLY a part of my daily routine! Right now, I do have a fairly packed schedule. However, I am 100% willing to make time. :) I have a massive yard, with 20 ft. leashes to roam. I also own a friendly chocolate lab, though he doesn’t play much with other animals. I am able to adjust to any potential special needs or wants!
About: “God speaks to the creatures through the creatures.” -Dr. Chase. “All you need is love.” -John Lennon. Plenty of love I have to give, but I also have the experience of 35 years as a science teacher. I’m well-versed in how animals like dogs and cats talk to us through their gestures. Dogs evolved with humans, and I understand that relationship and how dogs meet our emotional needs. Please read my first four reviews which I received from pet owners that I served even before signing up with Rover. The pet owner decides when treats are allowed, if table scraps are allowed, and how much food to give. The dog decides when it wants to go potty. 😉 Just in case, I usually take the dog out before it decides and always before any discomfort. Snuggles welcome. 🐾🥰😻 When serving you and your pet, I like to send pictures. We can also use FaceTime or Zoom to check in. 🐶🤩 At age 61, I’ve been a retired teacher for 3 years, and my activity level allows me to run or play with your beloved dog. In your home, I follow instructions and do the routine for your beloved just like you would. However, if I’m allowed to give more snuggles, or more walks, or more training than you normally have time for, I’m at your service.

Discussed food, meds, routine and behaviors ahead of time. Great communication and appreciated the many photo and video updates while we were away. I would definitely book with Anu again.”
“Kathy did a great job. She came through for me at a moments notice when my boarder had a cancellation. Her dogs did well with my boy. He came home happy and tired which is a good thing.”
“Don took our pups into his home while we were out of town for a night. We did a meet and greet with Don and Billee the week before so our dogs could get familiar with their surroundings, and when we dropped them off on the day of their stay they ran right in to the house and yard as if they'd been there many times! Don gave our pups lots of attention and they were very well cared for. They had a great time and came home exhausted! We would definitely recommend Don to other people looking for an attentive dog sitter!”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“This was my first time leaving Charlie with Amy; he stayed for a few days, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the start, I felt such peace knowing that he was in good hands. Amy along with her sweet daughters took amazing care of Charlie —he looked so happy and comfortable in every adorable photo update I received! Communication was great throughout the stay, and it was clear Charlie was treated like family. I am so grateful and will definitely book again! Thank you Amy”
“Nikki will take excellent care of your pup! Our golden doodle, Luna, stayed with her for two nights. Nikki sent a lot of updates and pictures. She has great backyard for the dogs to run around. Hight recommend!!”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
About: Our family has a huge heart for animals and want to extend that to your furry friend! My two daughters and I love animals and can’t wait to start pet sitting! Hi!

I have a fenced in yard and one playful black lab who will be sure to keep your furry friend entertained and happy to be here!
“Our young golden retriever had a great time with Susan and her girls and their dog Oreo. Susan sent daily updates and pictures, which was so nice. We will take Gatsby to vacation there the next time our family goes away.”
“We had such a great experience with Brooke! We got regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. We would absolutely book with her again—highly recommend!”
About: As someone who loves both dogs and cats, I understand that every animal has a unique personality. I know that some pets want nonstop playtime while others prefer quiet companionship. I take the time to make pets feel comfortable and respected, helping reduce stress while their owners are away. From energetic dogs to cuddly cats and senior pets needing extra attention, I provide personalized care for every animal I meet. 🐾❤️ I’m currently working part time as a server at a restaurant and the shift are very short 4-5 hours. I only work a fees shifts a week so I can be there for your pets a majority of the day!! I have a 1 bedroom apartment but it’s always clean, and there’s plenty of room! I do have a cat of my own so I would prefer to watch your pet at your home!
“Kota took on my 13 week old puppy and I am so pleased with how well my puppy did at her home! Kota snuggled and loved and cared for her like she was her own! She communicated daily and sent the cutest pictures! I give my highest recommendation to her! So much better than a kennel when you need boarding! Your pet will be welcomed into their home and treated like a family member!”
