“We had a great experience with Norma. She is very capable and flexible. She was able to give me piece of kind while she cared for our large dog. She did a great job sending updates, photos and videos. I would highly recommend Norma and will have her watch my dog again.”
“Our pup Carson had a wonderful stay with Angela and her family! I received the cutest daily pictures of him and all the fun he was having with them. He was spoiled in the best ways and I am so thankful for all the love they provided during his stay, he was so comfortable and I can tell he had the best time with everyone and their pup Honey as well. 10/10 recommend!”
“Absolutely awesome! They obviously love animals. My girls had a wonderful time visiting Francine and Bob. This was the first time I left them at a sitter’s house. They sent photos of my girls having fun. That put my mind at ease. I definitely will use them again!”
“Megan was very welcoming and accommodated some last-minute travel plans and made Copper feel right at home. He also got along well with her three pups. He enjoyed having a fenced in backyard where he could run around and play. Thank you!”
“Heather and her family were very welcoming ! They allowed Evie and I to come the night before and meet them to make sure everyone was comfortable! Heather communicated and sent so many pictures! The communication and pictures gave me peace of mind while being away. I really enjoyed the little updates! She made sure Evie was comfortable, snuggled, and even helped to get her to eat when she was a bit stubborn! I loved that her and her family loved Evie like their own! I would definitely recommend and would return. Thank you Heather and family❤️”
“Deanne was very welcoming as I plan on using her marvelous boarding again! She really cares and appreciates animals. Thanks so much Deanne for peace of mind while we are away from home!”
“Sammy and Rico had a great time and felt at home! Id highly recommend boarding your dog or dogs with Stella. She gave regular updates with pics. Of the boys. Greatly appreciated that! Thank you”
“Byron and Martha are the best. They took really good care of our dog Noki. They followed up each day with photos and followed all instructions for care. Will be reaching out again for his service thru Rover. For sure a 5 star sitter. Thanks again!”
“She took such good care of my puppy, she was in constant communication and sent pictures almost daily. She super spoiled my baby and he had a blast the whole time! She even went above and beyond and took him to be groomed at her shop.”
“My baby boi loves going to see Tony's family and has been several times. What I love is that Thompson gets excited when we pull up as he wants to go play with his friends. I'll continue to rebook and only great things to say!”
“Thanks to Rusty, I was at ease traveling for a few days with the dogs in his care. Rusty has a dog-friendly space indoors and out and was attentive to the dogs’ individual personality traits and needs. This was the first time I’ve left them with a sitter and both dogs responded well and appeared comfortable. It’s a huge relief to know that Rusty is available to care for my dogs if I need to be away.”
“Melissa was wonderful with Gizmo! She provided a safe space and clear communication! I appreciated her flexibility regarding drop off and pick up and would 100% book again!”
“Another wonderful stay with Kim! She took exceptional care of our 5-month-old pup, showing so much love and patience throughout. Yoshi was still adjusting, and Kim handled his puppy energy and behaviors with ease and understanding. She even kept him safe and calm during a long tornado warning, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her fenced yard was perfect for helping him burn off energy, and she went above and beyond by teaching him how to play fetch—and even a little soccer! We also really appreciated the daily updates and photos, especially since we missed him a lot while we were away. We always feel confident leaving Yoshi with Kim—she consistently provides such thoughtful, attentive care. Highly recommend!”
“Sunshine and her family did a great job caring for my dogs! She sent pictures daily showing me that our dogs were playing in the yard with her children. They were very relaxed and happy when we picked them up. We will definitely use Sunshine again as a sitter. Thanks again Sunshine!!”
“Dee is the best! Made our dog Theo comfortable and happy throughout his stay and we could tell he was in great hands. She updated us often and sent tons of photos which we loved. Would book her again and recommend to anyone without hesitation. Thanks for everything Dee!”
“My pet had spent the fantastic days in her house because I felt he didn’t want to go back home with me. I appreciated about what I could get good travel due to her care.”
“I cannot say enough positive for this beautiful and loving family. They treated Ruby like their own and I could tell by the photos she was totally happy and comfortable. A huge thank you to Ashley and her girls for loving Ruby the way I do. I highly recommend and will be a repeat.”

“Linnea was amazing! She showed up when she said she would, sent pictures of my cat and wrote the sweetest notes! Best of all she took great care of my kitty. Definitely recommend.”
“Declan is an extremely friendly and reliable sitter! He's great with our new kittens and has been very gracious working with us on short notice with our relatively erratic schedule. Would recommend to anyone in need of a sitter!”
“It was our first time using Rover and we were a little skeptical of the app, however, Hope was AMAZING. We hardly ever go on vacation, so leaving our cats and bird alone stressed us out. Hope was a perfect fit for us and we were able to have a stress free trip! At the meet and greet she was professional, sweet, and attentive. She asked a lot of questions to get to know us and to figure out our pets' needs. She updated us everyday with pictures and funny stories about our pets. She's hilarious and we can tell she enjoyed her time with our babies. The moment we came home from our trip we could tell our pets were well taken care of and loved. She's a true animal lover! We would without any hesitation rebook with Hope and highly recommend her!! Thank you Hope!!”

I take every job I'm given very seriously and I am dedicated to the safety and well being of any animal I am responsible for, and I am more than willing to follow any special instructions in regards to your animal. every dog is different and I aim to give the best care to every dog put in my care.

I look forward helping out with your animals in whatever way I can. I work 2 days a week, and go to school 3 days a week, but I have lots of downtime on the weekends and evenings during the week when caring for animals in your home I will always double check that doors are closed and lights are off/on, and leave everything the way it was when I got there, as well as making sure your dog hasn't gotten into anything.
“Chris did a fantastic job caring for my two cats. He was reliable, thorough, and sent detailed updates with plenty of photos at every visit. He clearly spent real time playing with them and getting to know their personalities, and he even helped with a few things around the house without being asked. I came home to happy cats and everything in great shape. I’d absolutely book Chris again.”

“Rebecca is amazing. She kept the house clean, was super responsive to my being a nervous cat mom going away for the 1st time. She sent lots of photos and updates and I am planning to book her again for a few other trips I have coming up. I highly recommend her!!!!!!”
“Christine is amazing! She is incredibly down-to-earth and a true animal lover. All of my cats came out to greet her, which absolutely never happens on the first visit. She was very responsive, shared lots of great photos, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend her!”
“Brianna took amazing care of my 3 kitties. They absolutely loved her. Her communication was excellent and my cats barely noticed I was even gone. She did the cutest arts and crafts projects with them, brushed them, took out the trash and left my place spotless (other than the amazing arts and crafts I came home to.) All of my instructions were followed perfectly, she never left any trash behind, and brought so many treats and toys for the kitties! She came to meet the kitties ahead of time and bonded with them so fast. I would trust Brianna with my cats in a heartbeat and I don’t even trust my parents with them.”

Pets are free to explore the entire home and will not be crated or gated, unless a crate is provided and requested.

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve had the joy of raising two dogs from puppies, giving me firsthand experience with everything from potty training and basic training to the high energy and patience that young dogs require. I have been dog sitting for friends & family in Michigan & Illinois for 3 years now. In my professional life, I’m an Occupational Therapist who works with older adults. I regularly help residents safely care for and enjoy time with their beloved pets, so I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior, adapting to individual needs, and providing calm, attentive care. I’m also comfortable with senior dogs who may need a slower pace. Because I’m young and active, I love getting outside for walks, playtime, and adventures that help energetic dogs stay happy and engaged. Whether your pup wants a long walk, a game of fetch, or just lots of cuddles and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and routine. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own, so you can feel confident they’re safe, loved, and having a great time while you’re away! I work a normal 9-5 Monday-Friday. Therefore I prefer to do Friday afternoon-Sunday evening stays! This way I am available 24/7 for the pet. I have a fenced in yard (that is also dig proof).

About: Hiya! I'm Rebecca and I was in school to become a vet tech, but now I'm going to school to be a mortician and I'm a tattoo apprentice. I live in Kenosha, which is 15 minutes from the beach and I live around the boarder of Illinois too!! I'm an animal lover I have two dogs at home, an 8-year old westie and a corgi/heeler mix puppy. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs! My friends have cats that I care for when needed. I have also taken care of horses, reptiles, rodents, and birds as well! My availability is pretty open right now, but I do have dungeons and dragons on Sundays, Friday and Monday nights. So I wouldn't mind if you needed me to do pop-in visit or walks! I can hold a small conversation in ASL! :) I cannot wait to meet you and your fur babies in the future!! :) I have dungeons and dragons on Sundays from 12pm - 5pm, Mondays from 6-9:30pm (online), and Fridays from 6-9:30pm so taking care of your fur baby will not be a problem if they can be left alone for a few hours.

I treat your companions like my own pups, spoiled and treated like queens or kings. I will go to your house and stay there for the sitting including overnights. However, if you do not let your fur baby on furniture, I will respect and follow the house rules. I can take your fur baby for a walk, or we can go to the dog park if you're okay with that! If your furbaby needs medication or fluids, I would prefer to show me how you do it at home, so they can be the most comfortable when I have to give them their medication when you're away. I may a have a friend come by, but I will always ask first. I promise you that there will be no wild parties in your home!

I have a very laid back and easy-going approach and style that I have had great success with in relating to and connecting with dogs and their pet parents. I am very tuned in to their body language, and very adept at reading their emotions. My home is on a 1/2 acre fenced in wooded lot with a cabin like interior and country atmosphere that is both welcoming , safe, and fun for my dog guests, and I make it a top priority to treat your dogs like family. I also have lake access with a private beach if your dog(s) like to swim. I frequent the lake county dog parks and would love to take your dogs along if that is something you are comfortable with. I am very flexible - and typically available 7 days per week. I am available nights, weekends, and holidays. Ideally allow for two days advance notice. Safety is my top priority. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in lot, and a very warm and comfortable dog friendly home, that was once a summer cottage close to Round Lake. I am on a quiet dead end road which is very safe for walks, as well as freedom to roam the yard. My goal is to customize my services to meet your dogs needs, whatever they may be. I will treat your pets as I do my own- like family- lots of fun, exercise and plenty of TLC.

“We had a great experience with Norma. She is very capable and flexible. She was able to give me piece of kind while she cared for our large dog. She did a great job sending updates, photos and videos. I would highly recommend Norma and will have her watch my dog again.”

“Tommy and Julie were amazing! This was our first time using Rover and our first time ever leaving our dogs with people we barely even knew. They quickly put our worries at ease and sent constant updates on our pups during our week long vacation. Highly recommend!”
“Heather and her family were very welcoming ! They allowed Evie and I to come the night before and meet them to make sure everyone was comfortable! Heather communicated and sent so many pictures! The communication and pictures gave me peace of mind while being away. I really enjoyed the little updates! She made sure Evie was comfortable, snuggled, and even helped to get her to eat when she was a bit stubborn! I loved that her and her family loved Evie like their own! I would definitely recommend and would return. Thank you Heather and family❤️”

“Thanks to Rusty, I was at ease traveling for a few days with the dogs in his care. Rusty has a dog-friendly space indoors and out and was attentive to the dogs’ individual personality traits and needs. This was the first time I’ve left them with a sitter and both dogs responded well and appeared comfortable. It’s a huge relief to know that Rusty is available to care for my dogs if I need to be away.”

““Our dog’s spring break vacation” The overall care & true love she shows to her furry friends is like no other. Our senior dog got such a boost of energy & felt like a young pup frolicking in the forest preserve & swimming multiple times within the week in Lake Michigan. She has the sweetest dogs and cats & looking at pictures of them all snuggled up in her bed at night made us so happy. She has the coolest backyard for the pets too. We’ll book with no one else.”
