“We had an outstanding experience with our Rover sitter: Sarah and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She was punctual, professional, attentive, and genuinely caring with our dog from start to finish. Her communication was excellent, and it gave us great peace of mind knowing our pet was in such capable hands. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was taken care of, and it was clear she truly enjoys what she does. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitter. A well-deserved five-star experience!”

“Sarah did a great job coming and letting my puppies out while I was at work, took time and played with them. Made me feel better that my puppies were well taken care of while I was away, thank you!”

“I've used Barbara several times now and she's great. Flexible,fast to respond to messages and understanding overall. She is so so good when interacting with my dog. I've seen her in action. I would highly recommend!”


About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I currently check on and feed a family friends dogs on the weekends when needed, I always leave the space how I found it and make sure the dogs have enough water and haven't gotten into anything they are not supposed to, I have experience with difficult dogs and have been researching dog behavior and training these past 3 years. 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 am open to caring for dogs that need extra special care and attention such as reactivity or anxiety, or likely to run away if given the chance. 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.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have done sitting on the side for family and friends. I have raised my dogs from puppies to now they are 15 and 10 I also got a kitten about a year ago and she’s been enjoying the ride ever since! I am currently in college. I am planning on getting another part time job so I will be sure to communicate with my clients the schedule for that. I take care of my own pets everyday and would love to add yours too. I have grown up with animals my whole life so their routine is my routine. I believe that we owe it to our pets to make sure their needs are met and that they are happy.

About: So let's be realistic, we have pretty busy schedules as adults. I don't though so don't feel bad when you schedule me haha. I've been a papa to the biggest of fluffers and smallest of small dogs. I'm very familiar with the feisty kittens and old grumpy cats, and at one point even a gold fish I kept for 2 years. I am no stranger to particular schedules, care routines, or special requests of animals. You got shedders? Not a problem I have lint rollers haha. I have been in customer service for years now, and every time when making someone's day easier or allowing them to feel less stress it brings me the most joy. I've been a mix of animals owner most of my life from fostering animals in need or assisting family and friends with taking care of their animals. I also supply baggies for bathroom time and long sleeves if it's chilly outside. I go on a lot of walks!! Anytime I'm not home baking or hanging out with a friend I'm normally just out and about exploring my neighborhood. My set preference schedule is actually just for when I have to either go to the gym or when I schedule appointments because Mondays work easier. Your pets are the number one priority. If they require something and I am attending them I make sure it happens. Not only is your space respected when I watch them but also the pets space. Feeding times, walk routes, and any medical requirements and boundaries will be discussed because all situations are different. If something happens like say something fell or they went potty by accident I will clean it up no problem. A work space is better when it's clean but also when it's fun!!! I do bring things like cleaning baggies and lint rollers but I can also make sure any particular scents are avoided.
“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.”

About: Hello everyone! I am a mom and wife who enjoys animal friends. I’ve raised and cared for many varieties of animals. I have experience with the tiniest fur babies to the biggest! Do to my current work schedule I will no longer be offering boarding services for dogs. However, I am open to walking and drop in services. My only requirement for bookings is that your fur baby has all the items needed to be comfortable.

If I am taking care of someone’s fur baby I will not double book. My apologies for any inconvenience this may cause but I want to ensure safety, time, and attention for pets while they are in my care.

I have plenty of flexibility to adjust to a dog/cat’s recommended routine. I have more availability on the weekends to provide services.

“Bree is an absolute delight! She came over to meet my cat and immediately was kind an loving to her. My cat loves her and looks forward to her coming over. If you want someone kind, with tremendous follow-up and great attention to detail look no further. I just can't say enough about Bree. Leaving your pet with someone you don't know is hard enough but Bree made it a breeze. We have used here services twice and couldn't be happier!!!!”
About: I have 16 years of experience caring for others' animals. I worked for multiple horse farms until graduating college and all types of animals. Horses, donkeys, cows, big dogs, little dogs, pigs, bunnies, birds, I've taken care of them all! The bigger the animal the more comfortable I am with them. I work full time but I have a hybrid schedule that I make. I travel all over Cook/Kenosha/McHenry/Lake/Dupage Counties so if you're in that area I can tailor my schedule to spend more time in that area the week you need to accommodate your pets needs with daily walks or overnights. I treat all pets like they are my own. I take the time to get to know what they like so they warm up to me. Their favorite napping spots or where they like to be scratched. I want them to feel as comfortable as they can be while their owner is not around. I try to be the fun aunt that comes to visit so they don't notice mom and dad are gone.
About: Hi! My name is Savanah :) I have been a dog owner for about 15 years. My current fur babies I have had for 6 years. I have a Keeshond dog (Nykee) and a Maine Coon cat (Thunder). I've stayed with various friends and family dogs for weeks at a time. Just recently, my sweet dog Nykee had to have a 6-inch tumor removed from under his armpit. It was very traumatic for him. They had to shave part of him and he was in so much pain anytime he moved at all. I found a natural way to help heal him and slept on the floor, petting him the entire night. It broke my heart to see him in so much pain. I would do anything to help him feel better. Thankfully he has healed and now living his best life. I promise to love your dogs that are so much more than pets. My promise to you is to love them like family. I am currently working part-time as a photographer. My schedule is very flexible. I am available to stay over at your home to always be around for your pets. I understand also that things can come up quickly and I am available to stay short hours or long night(s). You can contact me as soon as you know you need a sitter ♥️ I am very flexible. I care for my sweet pets by feeding them and making sure he has a full water bowl. I take him for walks early in the morning because he has a lot of fur and I don't want him to get overheated. I also let him sleep in my room, but I always have his fan running to keep him cool as well. He loves to lay by his fan, and I will play him the ukelele too. I take him for car rides too because he loves being in the car + I do give him puppy-chinos from Starbucks :)

About: For the past 4 years, I’ve been the go to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. I am an honest and hard worker and I provide good communication with my clients. I am a student at parkside with one year left until I graduate. With my schedule, I am able to pet sit during the day and overnight on weekdays and I’m fully available on weekends. When I’m pet sitting in a clients home, I spend the majority of my day there playing with and taking care of the pets. I put the pet’s needs first and maintain good communication with the owners to ensure their pet is taken care of properly. I treat the home with respect and ensure the owners of the home know my schedule so there are no surprises while I’m watching their pets.

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love being around them. I also went to dog grooming school and am certified in dog CPR, so I have experience safely handling all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from big energetic dogs to little ones and seniors who need some extra patience. I’ll always treat your dog like I would my own and make sure they’re safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention! I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I love being active and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m happy to work around your pets normal schedule whenever possible. Making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable is always my first priority. My training at Midwest School of Dog Grooming taught me proper handling and safety techniques for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also attended dog safety seminars and am dog CPR certified. I’ll respect your pets routine, your home, and any specific instructions you leave for me
About: I've taken care of pets from as earliest as birth and into their elderly years, since I was 8. My family would occasionally breed our American Akitas. I've trained them, bathed them, cleaned up after them, and administered medications. They are a ton of work, but always worth the effort when we saw them finally meet their forever homes. I am available for whatever service you need, except for boarding, most days of the week except Thursdays after 2 pm, Fridays, and Saturdays before 2 pm. I am unable to care for your pet at my residence. We have 5 dogs here currently and I wouldn't want to overwhelm your pet with so many new faces. I am more than willing to be as accommodating as needed to care for them in your home, walking them, or simply letting out for a potty break.
“Sara is incredible! Is was onvious on day one how much she cares for animals. She is patient and kind with my doggo and quickly made friends. Her communication is top notch and the photos she sends really brighten a dull day”
About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care I provide. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with puppy training basics such as leash manners, crate training, and reinforcing house rules, as well as senior pet care including administering medication, mobility support, and extra patience for aging pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing consistent updates, plenty of affection, and dependable care you can truly trust. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around consistent feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins to ensure pets receive dependable care and attention. I’m flexible and organized, which allows me to accommodate special needs like medication schedules, training reinforcement, or extra time for senior pets. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so it’s never rushed—it’s a priority. I provide attentive, personalized care whether pets are in my home or their own. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, and medication if needed—so pets feel comfortable and secure in a familiar environment. I keep the home tidy and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
