About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals. Their loyalty, companionship, and energy make them so special, and they deserve the same care and kindness in return. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have hands on experience raising and caring for both dogs and cats. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet. I treat them like my own and take the time to understand their personality and needs. I’m very patient and comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who may need a slower and gentler approach. I also have experience with cats and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and comfort level. Whether your dog or cat loves to be active and go on walks or prefers to stay home and relax, I’m happy to match their energy and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also like to keep owners updated with messages and the occasional cute photo so you can feel at ease while you’re away:) I have a 7 year old Boxer who lives with me. She’s very friendly, loves other dogs, and would be happy to have some company. I’m easy to get along with, responsible, and always do my best to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. If there’s anything specific your pet needs, I’ll always try my best to accommodate. I’d love to be a great match for your furry friend! A little bit about me! I live in the Albany Park area and have my own reliable transportation, so I’m dependable and able to get to your pet when needed. I work freelance, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to plan my day around your pet’s routine. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, longer stays, or even last-minute help, I’m able to adjust my availability to make sure your pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need. Whether I’m caring for your pet during walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, their safety and comfort are always my priority. I politely ask that all clients have a fully completed and updated profile with recent photos of their pets, information about their personality, routine, behavior, and any special needs, as well as some information about themselves. This helps me feel more comfortable and confident accepting a booking and gives me a better understanding of you and your pet beforehand. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide as closely as possible, whether that’s feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, or just keeping them company. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and comfortable in their own home while you’re away.

About: I treat every pet like family - with patience, love, and lots of belly rubs! What sets me apart is my personalized, compassionate care. From playful pups needing training and fun walks to seniors needing meds and gentle attention - I'm here for it all! Pet care is a joyful part of my routine, and I build my schedule around it. I am available weekends and various weekdays for walks, and drop-ins. Whether it's a puppy needing playtime or a senior dog needing extra care, I'm flexible and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for like family. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, loving space where pets feel safe. With a fenced yard and nearby parks, they'll enjoy playtime, cuddles, and fun adventures - plus personalized care and consistent routines.

“Parisa was wonderful with my sweet baby while I was gone. She is so good with cats. She also kept me updated, sent me pictures and when I got back I found my place to be still in order and the litter box to be very clean! I will definitely be asking her back!”

About: Hi! I’m Samantha. I moved to Chicago in late 2018 and spent my first year here walking dogs for three different companies, while also building up a group of regular clients through Rover. In early 2019, I started walking a sweet, three-legged Black Lab named Bo and eventually began boarding him several weeks each month while his dad traveled for work. Sadly, we lost Bo in April 2021, and his passing left a big hole in my heart. Not long after, I began fostering a three-legged pittie named Abby and ended up adopting her in July 2021. When I first adopted her, my only request at the shelter was that she get along with other dogs. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case as she had a very traumatic history, so I no longer offer boarding. However, I’m still happily available for walks, drop-ins, and occasional in house stays! I can work with all different ages, handle senior care, and have helped with puppy training. I work in higher ed but have a very flexible schedule. My boss is aware that I pet sit on the side and allows me to work remotely when needed. Every family I have worked with has been different depending on their needs. I am experienced in crate training, free roaming, or setting up boundaries to help keep animals safe. I also am familiar with all different collar/leash/harness types and feel comfortable navigating with and around dog reactive animals.

“Ryan was an amazing cat sitter for Truman and Margarita. He was very communicative and thorough with his visits and left very datailed reviews of his drop ins along with many pictures. You can tell that Ryan really does care for your pets like his own and I would recommend him to anyone in need of a sitter. Thanks Ryan!”

“Raya was lovely and helped me out in a last minute need for a drop-in and medication for my cat. Easy to communicate with and did a great job. Definitely keeping her in mind for future needs!”

About: Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve always loved animals and I’m excited to provide safe, reliable, and loving care. I’m patient, responsible, and I carefully follow each owner’s instructions to make sure every pet feels comfortable and happy. I enjoy walking and spending time outdoors, and I’ll treat your dog like family. I’m committed to providing updates, photos, and great communication during every visit. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy being active, so dog walking fits naturally into my daily routine. I have time to provide focused attention during walks and drop-in visits, making sure each pet gets the care, exercise, and affection they need. During walks and drop-in visits, I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, water, exercise, medications (if needed), and routines. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and never left unattended during our time together. I’ll also send updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.

“Karli is amazing— she had an excellent rapport with our kitten and played with him the entire time, which is exactly what he needed. I felt confident leaving our little baby in her care, and I will absolutely hire her again. Highly recommended!”

Rachel M.

“Ellie was very prompt and on time for our initial couple of meetings and the drop in as well. She did very well with our 4 crazy kids and we will use her services again in the future.”

“Salem is the best ever cat sitter! They always take the best care of our old gal Eleanor and provide the most thoughtful and thorough updates. Thank you thank you!”

About: I’m a patient, attentive pet sitter with a calm approach, who respects boundaries and wants the best experience for both you and your pet. I have cared for dogs my whole life and cats for about 5 years. Also I have done a year of walking on WAG! I treat every furry friend as if it were my own! I have open availability weekdays and weekends for requests. I use public transit, biking, or walking as transportation so can get to places relatively quick. I believe that animals are a blessing to us and only deserve the most of our appreciation. When you are away I will assure your furry friend has everything they desire.

“Kai was absolutely fantastic to work with and went above and beyond to care for my cat Monkey while I was out of town, and even helped with random maintenance needs and kept Monkey safe while the handyman was over. Monkey is clearly well loved and got plenty of attention, and I'll definitely work with Kai again!”

“I checked out Amanda’s reviews and was impressed by what I saw. So of course I chose to book with her to come by and care for my two cats while away for a few days. She was so kind and gentle with them and e even was able to pet and play with my very shy cat who has a hard time w/ new visitors. She acknowledged each of my requests and was prompt, careful and understanding. I will definitely book with her again for the next time we are away. We trust her and know that our cats are in good care when we are away. Definitely book with Amanda!”

Fredricka T.

“Erin is awesome! I enjoyed my trip so much more knowing my pets were well taken care of. She sends the best pictures that make it very clear how much fun her visits were. I appreciated how communicative, kind, and adaptable she was. Would absolutely recommend Erin to anyone in need of a sitter.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets in many different life stages and personalities. I have a 15 year old senior Chihuahua who has been through surgeries and illnesses, and through attentive care, patience, daily walks, and lots of love, she is still healthy, happy, and strong today. I also rescued an adult cat from the street who is now around 3–4 years old. Helping him adjust taught me patience, understanding, and how important it is to make animals feel safe and comfortable. In addition, I have an energetic 8-month-old kitten who keeps me active and experienced with younger pets as well. I am also a runner who’s ran the Chicago marathon, I am prepared to keep up with high energy pups! My pets are truly my family, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals. Under my care, your pets will be treated with the same patience, attention, love, and priority that I give my own. At this time, I can not take any more repeat clients who need morning or early afternoon walks/drop-in visits on weekdays. However, I am available after 4 PM on weekdays for walks/drop-in visits. My weekends have open availability as well. For house sitting I am mostly available on weekends as well. I’m happy to answer any questions! I will care for your pet in your home and always follow your instructions carefully to maintain their normal routine and comfort. I understand how important it is to keep things consistent for animals, so I will make sure to follow all feeding schedules, care notes, and any special directions you provide. I will also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away, including messages, photos, and any important notes about how your pet is doing. My goal is to keep you fully informed and reassured. Most importantly, I will care for your pet in the environment where they feel safest and most comfortable, your home, so they can stay relaxed, secure, and stress-free while receiving attentive and loving care.

“Hannah has been an absolutely wonderful pet sitter. They are always quick to respond when I reach out about a job, consistently show up when they say they will, and go above and beyond every time. Hannah is an incredibly strong communicator, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. It’s clear they genuinely care about both the pets and the people they work with. I would highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy to care for their animals.”

“Yara took fantastic care of my two cats while I was out of town for a few days! I always received detailed updates each day, and the cutest pictures. She spent time playing with them, and I came home to two very happy kitties. I highly recommend Yara, I will definitely reach out the next time I need a sitter! Thank you so much again, Yanni and Juno adored you!!”

“Tiffani was so great with our two cats for drop in feedings. One of my cats is not very nice and they got along just fine and he even let her get a quick pet here and there. They got lots of playtime and pets and I got lots of fun photo and video updates. Thanks Tiffani!!!”
