House Sitting in Virgil

“I had Sarah stay in my house for a weekend that I was out of town and she was absolutely amazing!!! I have 2 boys...Romeo is a social butterfly, knows no strangers but Rafael is a special boy that is very scared and timid around people he doesn't know. After Sarah came over for a meet and greet, Rafi immediately remembered her and loved on her when she came back over to stay for the weekend!! I believe that dogs are excellent judges of character and the way that both Rafi and Romeo acted with Sarah spoke volumes to me!!! I highly recommend her and I will most definitely be contacting her again!!! ?”

“My Bella loved Ann the moment they met. Ann was responsible, respectful , kind and calm. I will definitely trust and ask Ann to watch my fur baby again when we go away! She was on time and sent me photos and updates. Thank you so much !!”

“Outstanding sitter! She took exceptional care of our dogs and treated them like her own. We were especially grateful for how calmly and confidently she handled Pearl during a low blood sugar episode — it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way. We came home to happy pups and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“We were a little nervous, having never used Rover before, about letting a stranger into our home to watch our pups. After meeting Caroline prior to our trip, we knew our dogs and home were in good hands. Caroline was quick to respond to all of our messages prior to and while on our trip. She was amazing and we will definitely use her again.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Scott was fantastic with our dogs during the nine days we were away. He clearly cared for them like they were his own, and the thoughtful updates he sent made us feel completely at ease while we were gone. Our pups were happy, healthy, and well-loved when we returned. Beyond being a reliable sitter, he’s just an overall great guy, and we feel very lucky to have found him. We’d book with him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to anyone looking for excellent care for their pets.”

About: I’ve worked in animal healthcare as a veterinary technician for nine years and have extensive experience caring for very young and chaotic to geriatric, medically complex, and behaviorally challenging pets. I’m comfortable administering medications in all forms and following detailed care plans! I work currently in veterinary medicine but am able to care for your pets after work, on days off during the week, weekends and holidays. I have many years of experience with care for multiple species and all the intricacies that come with them! I am able to continue your pet's routine care while you are away. From staying in home, walks/enrichment/exercise, feedings, medications of all routes, and more. Whatever they need to be happy and healthy until you are home!

“I booked Megan for a second time. This time was for a long weekend trip and she was again amazing with my pup. Stuck to his walk and food schedule. Included photos of my pup while I was away. Communication was strong and I didn’t have to worry about anything while on vacation. 100% recommend!”

“Angela did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs and our cat. She was very responsive to our emails and provided us with peace of mind when she sent us updates along with their pictures! The house was immaculate and well taken care of. I would highly recommend Angela and we will definately use Angela again in the future!”

“Sydney was great! Very friendly and willing to do all the tiny things our little guys needed! She sent us pictures and kept us updated on how they were doing as this was their first time with a sitter. We would highly recommend her for anyone and hope to use her services again. I'd rate higher if I could.”

About: My home has always been filled with furry friends! Throughout my life, my family has always had a dog and 2-3 kitties. I have around 10 years of experience fostering cats of differing ages with a variety of needs, including medical. Currently, I am a part-time Registered Behavior Technician, so I have ample time for your furry friends! I am flexible in my open time- let me know what works for you. I do not intend to take care of your precious pets in my own home, but enter their environment, letting them stay relaxed and comfortable in their home. I am attentive and put significant time towards play time!

About: Hi! We’re new to Rover and excited to have your dog in our home! We’re a responsible and caring couple who love dogs and enjoy providing loving care. We have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes—from puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace, and from small breeds to large dogs. With two of us, your dog gets extra attention, supervision, and affection. We’re happy to accommodate routines, walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of cuddles. We prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure your dog feels comfortable and at home while you’re away. We treat every dog like our own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is in great hands. We are always busy with our own two dogs and cat, and someone is always home for food and bathroom breaks. We love having dogs hangout with us or let them do their own thing We have two dogs of our own who love to enjoy the big yard and chewing on twigs. Your dog will not be bored with us

About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of pets, ages, and have even done a little training. My experience stems from running my own pet sitting business in the Northwoods of WI for 4 years. I am currently a student at NIU so I will be scheduling around my classes. Monday-Wednesday I have class usually 8:30-3pm & Thursday from 8:30-5pm, but things change. School comes first so I am specifically looking for lower maintenance gigs so I can manage school readings. BONUS points if your pet loves snuggles. I only care for pets in my clients home simply because Im not allowed to take them to my apartment. I’m very communicative and always answer my phone :) if you need extra help with plant care or getting the mail I am at your aid!

“Anthony was not only prompt, but also came for a meet and greet prior to his scheduled stay. He was very respectful of my home and very in tune with my dog needs and I truly appreciated his dedication to making my dog feel very special while I was away.”

“Grace was fantastic! This was our first time leaving our two big dogs with a sitter and we were very comfortable with Grace and the dogs liked her right away. Would definitely use her again in the future ! Highly recommend.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Kelly watching our dog in our home while we were away for a week. She was great with our dog, flexible when plans changed and easy to communicate with. We came home to our house in perfect condition and a very happy pup!!”

Kristine K.

“Renee was excellent! She came on time, great communication, sent me a video, even cleaned. I would highly recommend! I’m booking with her again! Thank you Renee!”

Patricia K.

“Kellie was so great with our boy, Tyson for a weekend. She communicated clearly before the trip, during our trip (we loved the updates!), and after. She was respectful of our home and a perfect house guest. Tyson was immediately comfortable with her and we were so comforted knowing he was not only being taken care of, but really loved on, while we were gone. We will absolutely use Kellie in the future, if possible.”

Victoria V.

“Lexi was great! She was excellent with Baba, responsible and responsive.”

Martha K.

“Taylor helped us out on very short notice and worked around our dogs idiosyncrasies and schedules. Kept us up to date on our aging girl, helped settle our anxiety with leaving her.”
