I had such a great experience with my Lizbeth! She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. What really stood out was her flexibility—when my flight got canceled, she kindly agreed to take care of my cat an extra day. That meant so much to me and truly showed her dedication and professionalism. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!

About: I’ve have taken care of pets before as I do have a dog myself and I have also looked over and cared for cats cause anytime family is away anytime I look over them. I’m currently in summer break from college and I been spending time with my dog and making sure he goes outside and I also have time to make appointments for him such as vet visits or showers. In my house we have a gate and we always the gate close so my dog doesn’t get out. I also have the a/c running most of the time so my dog could chill as summer is coming around the corner. I always make sure he has food and water.

I was nervous about traveling, since it had been many years since we needed a pet sitter, but Christine made it easy. She stayed in contact and let us know when she had dropped by, and the cats got everything they needed. We'll definitely hire her again!

We were so grateful for Nikki caring for our two cats during our extended vacation. Both cats are very anxious with strangers, and one of our cats has special medical needs. Nikki was extremely gentle and patient during our introductory visit, letting the cats approach her and not trying to force any interaction. She handled the food, water. medication, litter, and play during our vacation and updated us every day. She was also really responsive to changes and updates. Thank you Nikki!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a child. I’ve loved animals since I can remember and I am very passionate about their wellbeing. I have experience with a variety of breeds and with senior care. I have not had a a dog in my home since my 17 year old chihuahua, Taco Bell, passed away last year. He was my heart and with not having a furry friend at home any longer any chance I’ve gotten to interact with any pup since has filled me with so much joy. Pets are family and I will care for yours as if they were my own. I’m just getting started on Rover and my schedule is very flexible. I can work my day around your pet and their needs. If you choose me as a repeat sitter I will gladly adapt to your pets schedule. I care for others pets as if they were my own. I’m currently unable to host pets in my own home but I will gladly take care of your baby in the comfort of their own home. Being in a familiar environment will help your pet feel more at ease and comfortable. I will be mindful and respectful of your space while I am there. I will follow whatever routines you have in place for your pet to ensure their peace and happiness.

About: Hi! I am currently a receptionist at an animal hospital located in Bucktown/Wicker Park. I have worked as a dog handler, or what we refer as a pack leader, at a doggy daycare located in the West Loop neighborhood in the past for over two years. I am certified in canine first aid, and I usually spend around 8-9 hours a day with medium to big dogs and also cats. I have gained a lot of experience by spending time with dogs that have different behaviors, from friendly to aggressive, I have not faced any issues with dogs yet. I have also spent time around dogs that require special care, so that would definitely not be an issue with me. Overall, I am always willing to spend time with doggies, even friends call me the dog whisperer :)

Just a heads up my availability can vary week to week I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection.

About: Hi! I'm a dedicated pet lover and current cat owner/former dog owner who understands that leaving your pet in someone else's care requires trust. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. As a cat owner, I'm experienced with daily feeding routines, playtime, litter box maintenance, and respecting each cat's unique personality and comfort level. I also grew up with dogs and have experience with walks, exercise, feeding, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I offer dog walking, cat drop-in visits, and house sitting services. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, your cat needs care and company at home, or you're looking for someone dependable to stay with your pets while you travel, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I'd want for my own pets. I know how important updates are when you're away, so you can expect regular communication, photos, and check-ins throughout my visits. I'm dependable, attentive to details, and committed to keeping your pet's routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and help give you peace of mind while you're away! As a part-time worker, I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care, with availability for mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires a high level of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. When caring for pets in a client's home, I am respectful of personal property, follow all household instructions carefully, and maintain a professional, reliable presence at every visit. I prioritize the safety and well-being of both pets and their homes by ensuring doors, gates, and windows are secure, keeping living areas tidy, and adhering to any specific care routines provided by the owner. I communicate clearly and consistently, providing updates, photos, and prompt responses so pet parents can feel confident and informed while they are away. My goal is to create a positive experience built on trust, dependability, and respect, giving owners peace of mind that their pets and homes are being cared for responsibly.

About: I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and different energy levels, and I always focus on making pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine as a nursing student because spending time with animals helps me stay active, reduce stress, and recharge mentally. Daily walks help me get my steps in, and being around dogs honestly makes even the busiest days better. I enjoy giving pets lots of attention, playtime, and care while keeping their routines consistent and owners updated. I grew up helping care for my mom’s dogs and now have a cat of my own who means everything to me. I also regularly care for my mom’s dogs when my family travels to Mexico, so I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and daily routines independently. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment.

About: I'm a 23-year-old who attends UIC for psychology and the OT program. I have had pets since I was little and know how to care and love for them. I know how scary it is trying to find a good sitter to look after your pet while you are away which is why if you book me, I will send you frequent updates including pictures and videos so you can be at ease. I have a fenced yard that is big enough for any dog to run around in, so if your dog doesn't do well with walks, the backyard is enough for them to get their exercise in. If I ever have to leave the house for an errand, your dog won't be alone because either my mom or sister along with my younger siblings will be at home. Your dog will feel at home and can treat my place as their own. If you have any questions or are interested in booking with me, please don't hesitate to reach out. I use to do Rover full time in the summers and on and off through my schooling. At this current moment in time I commute to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Tuesdays and Thursdays Im not home from 11am-4pm. Although I will not be home at those given times, my mom will be. She is the person who watches any dogs I am dog sitting. My repeat clients know my mom well and she is very trustworthy. All the other days I will be at home. I make sure food or plants that are toxic to dogs are out of their reach, before i let any dog run out to the yard i double check any doors leading outside are closed and locked. For this fall of 2022 I will be providing care for 2 or 3 dogs at a time, everyone will be informed which dogs will be staying with me and consenting before I book. If this is not ideal please let me know if you want no other dogs booked.

About: I always used to pet-sit for my parents. They were crazy pitbulls and American bullies, and kitties. So I’ve had my fair share of crazy doggos and cats! I haven’t officially started pet sitting for other animals til 2024, and it was occasional. But I write down everything I need to know and keep in contact each day with the owner, and I’m not afraid to ask questions if unsure of anything! :D I work part time at the moment, and I do live alone, so I’d give your pet/pets my undivided attention!! (I am lonely I need company lol) I am very mindful of the client’s home. While playing/caring for your pet, I will also make sure things don’t get messy in the process!

About: Hi, I’m Sheccid 👋🏼 As a proud dog mom to my Chi-Beagle, Lily, I know that every pup has a unique personality. Dogs have always been a central part of my life, and l've become great at reading their cues and adapting to their specific needs. I currently live in a relaxed home with my husband and Lily. I work from home, so I'll give your pup plenty of focused attention throughout the day. I'm also lucky to have a fenced-in yard, providing a safe and private space for your dog to play and stretch their legs. I can adapt to all types of temperaments- whether your dog is shy and needs a patient hand or is bold and high-energy. If they enjoy making new friends, Lily is available to join us on our walks for some extra socialization. I am dedicated to building a bond of trust with every dog I meet (and their owner) and look forward to caring for your furry friend! I work part-time from home, so Lily and I will have plenty of time to go on walks, play, and keep your pet company while you’re gone. Although Lily is friendly I never leave them unsupervised or alone for too long. I’m flexible with their needs and can crate or give them their own space if they’re nervous.

Calvin was an amazing pet sitter and we will absolutely book with them again. He was very responsive, asked specific questions about our pets that showed his experience, and was incredibly easy to work with. It was clear that Calvin took the time to get to know our two cats and their personalities. His summaries and the pictures made us feel so much better about leaving for several days in a row. I highly recommend Monica and Calvin to anyone who wants a worry free vacation away from their fur children.
