“Frank and Julie were great! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone, and I couldn’t be happier with how it went. We got plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. Plenty of walks and play time too! Highly recommend.”
“We have had the same dog sitter since our 5 year old dog was born. She was unavailable for our most recent vacation, so used Rover for the first time and ended up deciding to go with Bobbi (and her family) and have our 2 doggies stay with them for our time away. We had a quick meet and greet to make sure our 2 doggies got along well with her dog, which went great. Bobbi sent reassuring messages and pictures every single day of our 12 day trip. Typically when we pick our pups up from our other sitter, particularly after a longer trip like this, they cry with joy to see us... run all over with excitement they cannot contain. This time when we picked them up, they seemed happy to see us, but not nearly as excited as usual, which to us indicated they MIGHT have preferred to just continue to hang with Bobbi and crew. It honestly couldn't have went better! We are so happy to have found Bobbi!”
“Gina was great with Riley. We haven’t left him with people we didn’t know before and she did a great job of watching him and keeping us updated. Riley is quite energetic and he got many walks and time to explore to get his energy out. Highly reccomend Gina to anybody.”
“Amazing person! She knew how it was my first time getting a puppy sitter and I was worried and not let alone nervous but Emily was 100% able to re-ensure me that My baby girl would do Amazing! Love Emily and her family already for doing such amazing job with my baby girl and prove to me that everything WILL be okay!! She even sent me pictures and videos, I had tons of happy tears even though I missed my baby girl!!”
“Korri was fantastic!!! Would absolutely contact her again if we needed someone to take care of our dog. We had a wedding out of town and Korri sent so many updates which was amazing to feel like our gal was being taken care of well. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!!!”
“Kristina is so great with our puppy, Olive! We were nervous about leaving Olive with someone new since she’s still pretty young, but right away we felt at ease with Kristina and it was evident that Olive absolutely adored her! We’ve now booked Kristina twice and will continue to do so - our pup loves playing at Kristina’s and comes home tired and happy!”
“Brooke is so sweet and our dog Milton is so comfortable with her. It was his first time boarding with someone who isn't family and we're so glad it was with Brooke. Will definitely book again.”
“Very nice couple! We could tell they really cared about our dog and wanted to give her a good experience. She is older and has many different medications that need to be given at all different times and they handled all this very well. Highly recommend.”
“Cristy took excellent care of our goldendoodle, Luna. Luna loved playing with her dog Duke! They had great time running out the backyard and hanging out on couch. We really appreciated the pictures and updates.”
“By far my dog’s favorite sitter! She is always treated like part of their family and she has so much fun playing with their dogs. I love all the photos and the run down of all the fun playtime she got during the day!”
“Maria was great! While on vacation we got delayed an extra night due to a tropical storm and she was quick to help and eased any worry of having a safe place for our dog. Chewy is a great pup but in need of a little extra attention and Maria easily fulfilled this as she only watched one dog at a time having Chewy return to us happy and healthy! We were also able to see updates on him through the pictures she sent and could see his personality still shining through as he was definitely comfortable in her care.”
“Savannah did a wonderful job taking care of our little pooch for two nights. She was very accommodating of our schedule and we greatly appreciated it. We will not hesitate to have her watch him again! Both of our Rover.com experiences so far have been 5 star!”
“We are so grateful to have found Anu and her family to care for our Ginger. Ginger loves going there to play and visit. They have become like her second family! She's already had 3 stays and a 4th one planned. Highly recommended!”
“Sue & Mark were the perfect hosts for Lucy. Lucy is shy but she warmed up to them right away. They welcomed her into their home and kept me updated. I will be scheduling with them again in the near future.”
“Friendly and responses quick to your messages . Also she was great with Sam !! Gave me updates on how he was doing ! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter !”
“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!”
“I don’t know what I would do without Kimberly she is so fantastic. She taught LaRena how to shack this overnight visit. LaRena didn’t want to leave she has so much fun. I can’t thank Kimberly enough I had day surgery and I didn’t worry at all about what I was going to do with LaRena”
“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.”

“Kimberly and her sweet son were so kind and welcoming. She was very conscientious of my dog's needs and sent many photos/updates throughout the day. Playtime and trails walks wore her out! She slept the whole way home. Thank you for taking such good care of our Emma!”
“My dogs had an amazing day! I got updates and pictures throughout the day! They got to go for a walk! My youngest dog was sleeping less than 5 minutes into our drive home. I would give 10 stars if I could!!”
“Quite gracious and friendly. Bobbie and Clark were most accommodating on short notice. They were great with our dog who clearly had a terrific time in Bobbie and Clark’s wonderful care.”
“We had a last-minute Rover request, and Bobbi responded quickly and made booking easy. Even though it was a short stay, we could tell our dog had a great time especially with Mercy, their adorable pug! Bobbi shared updates and photos, and Nova seemed to really enjoy their spacious backyard. Bobbi was so kind and welcoming. We’d absolutely recommend her to others!”
“Emily took such good care of our Obi! Emily and her family took him in like their own! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day and was very attentive to all our puppy’s needs 😊 🩷 Would highly recommend Emily for all your pets needs!”
“This was a last minute need so it was great he could watch Cody with very short notice. Cody is an older dog and does not take change well, so it was fantastic he was excited to return the next day which means Cody really enjoyed his stay. Great care and communication! Cody was all smiles!”
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.
“My Jojo loved her stay with Maria today! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. I appreciated all the timely communication- even before we arrived. Amazing service. Thank you so much!”
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, horses, ducks, and rabbits. I also had a great deal of time with other animals such as cows, and chickens at my Grandpa's dairy farm. One of my past jobs was being a dog sitter, to care for them, and do some training as well. I loved it! 🙂😁 I now have a German Shepard and Husky mix named Apollo, and I love teaching him new things, spending time with him, and of course taking care of him. 🥰❤️ I'm currently working as a house cleaner, and although I love the job, I would like to work some more hours. Sometimes clients cancel or reschedule cleanings resulting in less hours. I'm looking to do this hopefully full time, as I miss working with dogs. 🙂😁 I currently have a huge yard, but I can also give walks if suggested. I'm welcoming any animals except cats due to my boyfriend being allergic. I will do my very best to help any of your fur babies feel at home. 💌😁
“Cristy was amazing! Her home was so cute and tidy. She has a sweet little dog that played so well with my dog whom normally doesn’t care much for others. Cristy was kind, communicative, and flexible.”
“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.”
“Love using Sarah for dog sitting! She is so flexible and I can always count on her with last minute bookings! Frankie leaps out of my arms to go greet her family and pups ❤️ Will continue bringing frankie ❤️”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring animal lover with a lifelong passion for pets. I’ve grown up around cats, dogs, and many other animals my entire life, so being around animals comes very naturally to me. I’m extremely comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand how important it is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.

I know how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your pets, and I’m committed to providing dependable, loving care you can feel confident about. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. As a realtor, I often work remotely and create my own schedule, so I’m able to stop by for potty breaks, feeding visits, walks, playtime, or check-ins as needed. Whether your pet needs quick drop-ins during the workday or extra attention while you’re away, I can usually accommodate a variety of schedules and care needs. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine.

I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and independent. I also make sure the home stays clean, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.

Currently, I’m a full time student studying Wildlife Management and Ecology, which gives me a flexible schedule that works well with pet sitting.

About: I’ve spent several years providing reliable, compassionate care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch, I tailor my approach to each animal’s unique needs. My experience includes daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection to keep pets happy and relaxed while their families are away. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment so every pet feels comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my weekly rhythm, especially since I work from home three days a week. On those WFH days, I’m able to offer flexible, consistent attention—perfect for pets who enjoy companionship, regular check‑ins, or a steady routine. I build feeding times, walks or play sessions, potty breaks, and general wellness checks around my work blocks, making sure pets get the care and interaction they need throughout the day. On the days I’m in the office, I plan visits intentionally to keep each pet’s routine stable. Whether it’s morning care, midday enrichment, or evening check‑ins, I make sure every pet gets predictable, comforting attention. Because I’m used to balancing a hybrid schedule with pet responsibilities, I’m very organized and reliable about maintaining consistent care all week long. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine, environment, and comfort exactly the way they’re used to. I follow the owner’s instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, medication needs, and any household rules—so pets feel secure and stress‑free. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, whether they need extra play, quiet companionship, or a slow, gentle approach. I keep the home tidy and respectful, making sure food and water areas stay clean, litter boxes or potty routines are maintained, and any messes are handled right away. I also pay attention to small details like closing gates, locking doors, turning lights on or off as requested, and keeping the home feeling lived‑in and safe. Throughout the stay, I send updates and photos so owners always know how their pets are doing.
About: Growing up I've always been surrounded by pets of all sorts; dogs and cats and many others. Currently since I've moved out on my own I have a few of my own furbabies (my three cats Penny & Minx & Cheezeburger) that being said I live in my own home.If you choose me then you are helping me give some love to a furry critter who might need that extra help from a new special friend! I currently work first shift and have oodles of love to give hense why I 3 furbabies of my own haha. Typically you can find me fixing things around my house and with summer around the corner I crave to walk more hense why I think being a dog walker would be a interesting twist on how to spice up my life. Depending on your service that is needed we could further talk about what the expectations are. May it be a walk or feeding or simply to give them the good old belly rubs; just being there will be quite the joy.
About: I've been taking care of my friends, family and neighbors dogs for as long as I can remember. Anything from daily to week long periods I have fed, walked, and cared for those animals, as well as overnight stays at either my home or theirs. Pet care fits extremely well into my routine, I am an online college student with a majority of free time and flexibility. I am typically up early and readily available most of the time. I remain especially cleanly in my own home and clients, making sure to clean/ tidy up after the pet as well as stay attentive to their needs. Another way I care for pets is by enjoying their company, talking, playing and interacting with them on walks and at home to make sure they are safe, happy and attended to.
About: I’ve been volunteering at animals shelters for 10+ years and have experience with sensitive pets or unique regimens. I’ve also volunteered at the National Aquarium in an animal husbandry role, so I’m a quick learner if you have pets such as reptiles that need unique care. I grew up with cats, dogs, guinea pigs, mice, snakes, hamsters, chinchillas, and a frog named Fred. I probably enjoy the walks more than the pups and I’ve never met a cat I didn’t like! My name is Melissa and I’m the proud human to three cats - Rosie, Griffon, & Minerva. I became the human to my first cat when I was 6 months old and maintained a wonderful bond with my Princess until she died at the old age of 21. I will treat any companion like they are my own and continue to love them in your absence. I’m always looking for a companion to go on adventures with, if your dog is up for the challenge. But if your cat prefers to nap together - or even ignore me entirely, I can do that, too!
About: I have had all kinds of pets through my childhood from snakes to cats and dogs. I have taken many class on pet care throughout high school and have done my own research so I can give the animals I watch over nothing but the best. I have been watching family and friends pets for many years, anywhere from a day to a week to months. I have handled animals of all ages as well, from kittens and puppies to elderly dogs and snakes. Through work I interact with different and new pets every day. My work is flexible so I have a lot of time to run around and stop in and take care of any pet whenever needed. I can walk and play with your pets, just stop in and feed, or stay over so they are not alone. Im able to make sure your pet have enough entertainment and enrichment as well as be comfortable in sometimes uncomfortable and stressful situations.

“Frank and Julie were great! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone, and I couldn’t be happier with how it went. We got plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. Plenty of walks and play time too! Highly recommend.”
“We have had the same dog sitter since our 5 year old dog was born. She was unavailable for our most recent vacation, so used Rover for the first time and ended up deciding to go with Bobbi (and her family) and have our 2 doggies stay with them for our time away. We had a quick meet and greet to make sure our 2 doggies got along well with her dog, which went great. Bobbi sent reassuring messages and pictures every single day of our 12 day trip. Typically when we pick our pups up from our other sitter, particularly after a longer trip like this, they cry with joy to see us... run all over with excitement they cannot contain. This time when we picked them up, they seemed happy to see us, but not nearly as excited as usual, which to us indicated they MIGHT have preferred to just continue to hang with Bobbi and crew. It honestly couldn't have went better! We are so happy to have found Bobbi!”
“Gina was great with Riley. We haven’t left him with people we didn’t know before and she did a great job of watching him and keeping us updated. Riley is quite energetic and he got many walks and time to explore to get his energy out. Highly reccomend Gina to anybody.”
“Amazing person! She knew how it was my first time getting a puppy sitter and I was worried and not let alone nervous but Emily was 100% able to re-ensure me that My baby girl would do Amazing! Love Emily and her family already for doing such amazing job with my baby girl and prove to me that everything WILL be okay!! She even sent me pictures and videos, I had tons of happy tears even though I missed my baby girl!!”
“Korri was fantastic!!! Would absolutely contact her again if we needed someone to take care of our dog. We had a wedding out of town and Korri sent so many updates which was amazing to feel like our gal was being taken care of well. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!!!”
“Brooke is so sweet and our dog Milton is so comfortable with her. It was his first time boarding with someone who isn't family and we're so glad it was with Brooke. Will definitely book again.”
“We are so grateful to have found Anu and her family to care for our Ginger. Ginger loves going there to play and visit. They have become like her second family! She's already had 3 stays and a 4th one planned. Highly recommended!”
“Friendly and responses quick to your messages . Also she was great with Sam !! Gave me updates on how he was doing ! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter !”
“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!”
“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.”
“I highly recommend Nikki. She is easy to work with and truly loves dogs! She has a nice big fenced-in backyard where the dogs can run and play. Her dog Nelson is a sweetheart as well. Five Stars for Nikki!”
“Highly recommend I never worry about my baby when Becky watches him. Tater is going to miss all of you when we move! Thank you so much for being the best sitter!”
“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.”
“Mitzi was so well treated. She was walked and made to feel at home while staying there. I highly recommend Caitlin and Samuel. They are very friendly and I plan to keep them in mind for future needs.”
“Samantha and Twix were great sitters for our pups during our weekend away! We appreciated the videos and photos throughout the stay and would definitely rebook in the future :-)”
“Daniel was fantastic! We choose him to dog sit out German shepherd for her first over night not at home. We did a meet and greet first and then she stayed over for the weekend. He made me feel very comfortable and even sent me some photos of my pup! Timber really seemed to enjoy her stay and the adventures (walks) they went on! We will definitely keep Daniel in mind when we need another dog sitter.”
