“Jacob was exceptional. He took in our 9 week old puppy Stella for a few days and took incredible care of her. From the initial meet and greet through pickup, he asked great questions, adhered to our requested schedule, gave her lots of exercise and snuggles, all while keeping us in the loop with daily status updates via pics and videos. We felt immediate trust and comfort with him and he did not disappoint. Stella will absolutely see him again soon.”
“Rondarose did such a fantastic job watching Mars overnight. Lots of pictures were sent and he was pooped with all of the playtime with the other dogs. Highly recommend! Very pleasant and timely.”
About: I’ve been a hands-on dog owner for the past 5 years and currently have a Labrador Retriever, so I understand the daily care, attention, and love dogs need to thrive. Through raising my own dog, I’ve gained experience with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and recognizing changes in behavior or mood. In addition, I’ve pet sat a puppy for two weeks, providing consistent care, supervision, and plenty of patience during an important developmental stage. I’m comfortable following specific instructions and routines to make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away. Pet care is a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and rest periods to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. Since I already care for my own dog, adding another pet into my routine is seamless, and I make sure each pet receives individualized attention and care. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on maintaining a safe, calm, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest so they feel comfortable and at home. I provide plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection, and I make sure pets are introduced slowly and safely if needed. Clean water, a tidy space, and regular updates to owners are always a priority.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and love them so much! I have experience with puppies as well as our senior friends. Walks and playtime are my specialty! I work at home and am able to take great care of your pup. I have a yard and am close to a park for plenty of outside time. I can adjust to the routine your dog is used to. I am very flexible. I take one client at a time so my whole focus will be on your dog. Just let me know your needs.
“Antonina stepped in on short notice which i greatly appreciate! She is a nice and communicative person. She sent pictures of my baby. Lilu looked so happy and well taken care of. I definitely recommend her and I will be using her again.”
“Sviltana took great care of our dog, and was able to board him for a few days on short notice. She sent lots of videos and photos. We'll definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Monica is awesome with our Sky. She genuinely loves dogs and takes really special care to give ours the attention that she needs. The communication is great and she has been very flexible with our erratic schedules. We’re very happy to have met her and we feel very comforted knowing our Sky is in her good hands”
“Leanne was wonderful with Ella! Ella loved having built in play buddies and lots of attention from Leanne. The communication was great and I felt confident my dog was well cared for during her stay. We will definitely use Leanne again!”
“Had a great experience with Kyle! He watched my two dogs for the weekend and was very pleased with his attention to detail prior to their stay (he asked a lot of questions to make sure that my dogs would be comfortable and keep them on their routine) and he sent pictures every day. My younger dog is very energetic but came home wiped out and relaxed- a big bonus! ☺️ It was easy to see that Kyle enjoys interacting with the dogs and takes great care of them. Will definitely book again”
“DeeDee had a great stay with Denis and Nikki! She came back rested, fed, walked and loved. DeeDee looks forward to the next time. She also wants to know what you thought. Thank you!”
“Katerina was awesome! Our pups seem to have loved their stay! She was really fast with communications and it was nice to see some pictures of them enjoying themselves! Would use again!!”
“I was very pleased with my pet sitting experience. Her children were very gentle with my dog. My dog had 2 meals there & she ate both meals without hesitation. This means, for my dog, that she was comfortable in her surroundings. Ariana seemed genuinely concerned & sensitive about my dog feeling comfortable & not nervous while she was their. I wouldn't hesitate to pick Ariana as your pet sitter. We plan on choosing her again when we need a pet sitter in the future.”
“Thank you for providing Hans with a fun and attentive experience while we were out of town!!! Hans had so much fun playing with his fellow dog friends in your fenced backyard! He sure is sleepy. That says a lot for a puppy.”
“My dog is so happy to be with Ewa and all the doggy pals, he meets there. We are repeat customers I highly recommend Ew and her husbands dog sitting service. They are really caring people and seem to love my dog.”
“Jamo and Maui had a wonderful time with Michelle and her family!! It was so nice knowing our pups were being loved and cared for while we were out of town. Michelle gave us detailed updates on the dogs every day along with some pictures and videos. The dogs bonded well with her and her family and we are looking forward to having the dogs stay with them again soon. I would highly recommend Michelle. ”
“Julia helped us with a last minute weekend stay for our senior dog. She sent daily pictures with updates about how he was doing. She’s had a senior dog herself and was familiar with his medicine and was able to give the pills without a problem. Her home had no stairs, which was perfect for our dog since he has arthritis. She lives in a beautiful, quiet, safe neighborhood with minimal traffic and sidewalks perfect for walks.”
“Byron and Martha were great with my dogs , they kept me updated and provided me with pictures throughout the day. I really appreciate the wonderful care that they give , I would recommend as many people to book asap !!!”
Vernon Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jean was amazing with my golden. I loved getting pictures and videos daily and knowing that he was having a great time. My big guy has terrible anxiety during storms and is on a high dose of anxiety medication that sometimes works. When a bad storm rolled in Jean was compassionate and loving and notified me about his condition. As a very overprotective dog mom I trust Jean and we will definitely be using her again.
Logan was an amazing pet sitter. She took care of our three cats for three days and two nights. Logan is very patient and nurturing with pets. She gave us daily updates and sent adorable pictures. She’s very responsible and is amazing with animals. We’d highly recommend her as a pet sitter.
We had a wonderful experience with Balaji. We needed a sitter for our two week international trip and were nervous because this was our one-year-old toy poodle's first time being away from us. From the very beginning, Balaji reassured us that our dog would be well cared for. He even offered a short trial stay at his home so our dog could become familiar with the environment before the boarding stay. During that two hour trial stay, Balaji sent us photos and videos, which gave us confidence that our dog was comfortable and in good hands. Throughout the two week boarding period, Balaji sent multiple photos and videos every day, allowing us to see that our dog was comfortable and receiving good care. He was also very responsive and replied to our messages very quickly. Knowing that our dog was in such caring hands made it much easier for us to enjoy our trip. We highly recommend Balaji to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
Sherry took great care of our pup - she kept him active, had toys ready for him, was detail oriented when it came to his care, and sent updates with photos. It was clear he was well loved while in her home! She was easy to work with, flexible, and quick to respond/communicate.
Asmah took wonderful care of our cat at her home while we were away. Her place was spotless, she cared for our kitty excellently with daily photos and updates. This was our first time boarding our cat, so we were very worried, but our cat stayed comfortably like at home and was so lovingly pampered. We’re extremely grateful and will definitely book with Asmah again! Highly recommend her on Rover.
Elena watched our 11 month old Westie, Sunny, for a week while we were on vacation. We have a trusted daily pet setter who was unavailable, so we were a little nervous leaving our baby with someone new. Elena met with us twice before we left Sunny and even did a trial pet sitting. Sunny is a picky eater and came home eating normally, happy as can be, and relaxed! We got daily pictures of our sweet girl, and we know she was well cared for! We would absolutely trust Elena with Sunny again!
It was a pleasure connecting with Ellen and letting my dog (Olly) stay with her. She kept posting photos and updates regularly. Olly too got a partner to play with. I will always choose to go back to Ellen in future. I would recommend Ellen to any one in need. Thank you for taking care of Olly.
