About: I have a dog of my own, an Australian shepherd named Lady. I have taken care of a few dogs before and I quite enjoy it. I love and enjoy walking dogs. I also enjoy cats as well. I have had a cat for about 16 years. she was my very first pet ever to have. She has been with me since I was a baby. Sadly she passed in August of 2021. I can do the weekends from anytime. I can stop by after 6 o’clock to check up on your furry friends. But normally the weekends is when I’m free. I make sure that the dog or dogs are fed and taken care of course. I follow the owner's details and rules. I am very patient and outgoing and also a very active person.

“Jennifer was great! She met with me a couple times before she actually dogs sat for me. And when I was out of town, she kept me updated and sent me lots of pictures. When I got back home, the house was exactly as I left it. I will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and understand that pets are family. I provide dependable, attentive care so you can travel with confidence, knowing your pets and home are in good hands. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, and other household pets. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, a consistent routine, or simply companionship, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I’m patient with senior pets, attentive to medication schedules and special instructions, and committed to maintaining the routines that help pets feel safe and comfortable. In addition to pet care, I take pride in keeping a clean, secure, and well-maintained home. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your property. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and prompt communication so you always know how your pets are doing. As a mature, responsible professional, I understand the importance of trust, reliability, and treating your pets and home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. Pet care fits well into my schedule. I work a four-day week, with two days working remotely and two days in the office, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive, dependable care. On my remote workdays, I’m home throughout the day for companionship, walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks. On office days, I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive the care and attention they need before and after work. My evenings and weekends are generally open, allowing me to dedicate quality time to pet sitting, house sitting, overnight stays, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I understand how important consistency is, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. Safety, security, and your pet’s well-being are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or providing drop-in visits, I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and household routines. I ensure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and outdoor time, and maintain a clean, safe environment at all times. I also understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect, keep everything tidy, bring in mail or packages if requested, water plants, and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets and home are being cared for with the same attention and respect I would give my own.
“Dianne was great with my 2 dogs. They got walks, playtime and good naps. The house was spotless when I came home. Communications were great too. I'd use Dianne again.”

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my genuine love for dogs and the way they respond to me in return. I take time to understand each dog’s personality, build trust, and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and safe while their owners are away Pet care is at the center of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my days around feeding, walking, playtime, and check-ins to make sure every pet gets the time and attention they need. I’m fully available for regular visits and last-minute bookings. Caring for animals isn’t something I fit into my schedule — it is my schedule. At home, my own dog enjoys frequent walks, playtime, and plenty of treats — and I bring that same energy and attention to every pet I look after. Whether I’m providing care in a familiar environment or welcoming a new furry friend into my home, I focus on creating a fun, caring, and reliable experience
“Elizabeth was amazing!! She came by and met the pups and they loved her. She took great care of them and really went above and beyond any expectations. we will be using her from now on. So book her while you can. Just not on the days we need her!!”


About: I have had cats as pets my whole life and dogs as an adult. I have been pet sitting for about 6 years to dogs from puppies to seniors. Times have ranged from weekends to a month. I started fostering kittens when covid hit. I have found joy in caring for animals with all their different personalities. I have become experienced in all things kittens : bottle feeding , tube feeding administering medicine (my neighbor will even call me to give her pets pills) flea baths ringworm baths, brushing teeth you name it . I have even had to help kittens cross the rainbow bridge. It has been bitter sweet , but the love they give is more then enough. All animals deserve the best treatment and love we can give them I have been in education for 34 years teaching art and an administrator for the Fine Arts Department. I am retired now and have a lot of free time to spend with my favorite animals. I have found pet sitting and fostering to be very rewarding and someday would like to start my own fostering service. I have recently started rehabbing opossums, which is quite fun and much different than our tamer than our average 4 legged friends My job is flexible enough that i can leave for lunch and take care of your pets in the middle of the day as well. I have three cats that have been around lots of dog and cat “visitors” . Fostering cats has helped, … oh here comes another friend

“Great communication about our dogs. Loved having someone willing to work/ interact with our bird as well - thanks for that! Dogs definitely miss all of the play time for sure”

“Run, don't walk, to book Rylee! Not only is her warm and friendly presence a delight to have around, she truly cared for my dog—and sent lots of photos my way. I will be rebooking her again next time I'm out of town. Thank you, Rylee!!”

“Gracie is a literal angel! She stayed at my house for 11 days taking care of my dog and 2 cats, and she somehow left my house better than when I left! My pets aren’t the easiest to take care of so I left a lot of specific instructions and she was able to maintain their care seamlessly. Couldn’t recommend her enough and I would definitely ask her to pet sit again.”

“Suzanne was great with our high strung dogs and cats. They feel comfortable with her, which is not true of everyone. She gives them lots of love and attention and leaves our home looking better than when she arrived. We appreciate her taking care of our home and bebes so much!”

“Madison was the best! This was our first time using rover / leaving our mini labradoodle with anyone outside of our family. She was so responsive and sent us a bunch of pics! She constantly kept us up to date on the weekend so we didn’t have to stress about Millie while we were gone. Would highly recommend using her!”

“Laralen did a fantastic job at caring for my dog and my house. She was communicative and went above and beyond in leaving the house they way she found it. My dog was calm and happy when I arrived home.”

“Mike has watched our pack (6 dogs 1 cat) 4 times now. Always does a great job and goes the extra mile. Keeps us regularly updated and takes good care of our dogs and cats.”

“Thank you Casey for your awesomeness. Yogi loved your companionship. We both truly appreciate your kindness, happiness, helpfulness and awesomeness. Yogi loves his new friend Casey. We both look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for your excellent attention and friendship. 😊⭐️🤗⭐️🐕”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arlington Heights
Our absolute favorite, favorite, favorite pet sitter!! She is the kindest, most thorough of any person we have ever had. Our 135 lb dog adores her, as well as our socially anxious cat! We have tried many other Rover sitters, but Lyndsey is by far the best. Hands down we will always choose her!!!

I almost didn’t write this review because we’d love to keep Madison all to ourselves! She’s stayed in our home with our dogs multiple times now, and we trust her completely. We’re comfortable giving her the keys and code to our house and can actually relax while we’re away knowing our dogs and home are in great hands. But the best review really comes from our dogs. They absolutely LOVE her. They go nuts when she walks through the door, fight for her attention, and both go out of their way to sleep in bed with her when she stays over. There’s no better feeling than leaving town knowing your dogs are genuinely excited about the person staying with them. Madison is awesome. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and can’t recommend her enough, even if part of us would rather keep her a secret!

Melissa was SO amazing! Our dogs absolutely loved her, and she made us feel so comfortable leaving them—especially Luke, since he’s elderly and hasn’t been in the best of health. She took such great care of the dogs and even kept our house clean and tidy. We will definitely be asking Melissa to stay with the dogs again. Highly recommend her!
We are very thankful and happy for the service Suzzanne provided for our fur kids and us during a very hectic weekend out of town. She took care of all of our babies' needs, kept us updated, took amazing photos, and we found the house as if nobody had been in it since we left. 100% recommended and our favorite sitter for sure.

Rachel was absolutely amazing with my two Goldens over a long weekend! She was incredibly communicative from start to finish, sending lots of updates and pictures that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dogs were happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of love and attention. She also went above and beyond by helping with a few extra chores around the house, which was so thoughtful and greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Leeann was amazing and took such great care of Maya! We loved getting updates and hearing about all of their adventures while we were away. She even left a puppy TV channel on for Maya since we were getting home so late, which was such a thoughtful touch. We would absolutely book with Leeann again and highly recommend her!

Hana was very communicative about any dog and house updates with plenty of photos to keep us from being homesick while we enjoyed our vacation. We have a 4 month old puppy, so it was nice to have someone around to walk and keep him from making a mess of the house.

Gracie is the best! She took excellent care of our two doggies, Birdie and Charlie, while we traveled out of town for a long weekend. She communicated really well, was punctual and most importantly our dogs love her. We'd recommend Gracie to anyone and will hire again in a heartbeat.

Summer is amazing!! Our girls absolutely love her and so do we. When it came time to schedule a sitter we automatically rebooked with Summer because of our previous experience with her was so perfect and stress free we just couldn’t imagine trying someone else.

Tania (and her sweet little brother) did an amazing job caring for my two dogs and cat while I was away. She was an excellent communicator, kept me updated with plenty of photos, and gave me complete peace of mind knowing my pets were in such good hands. She truly went above and beyond, not only making sure my pets were well cared for, but also taking the time to water my garden and keep an eye on things around the house. It's clear she genuinely cares about both the animals and the families she helps. I would absolutely recommend Tania to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy sitter. I look forward to booking with her again in the future!
