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
“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”

“Chelsea was AMAZING! Our animals loved her and we didn’t stress at all knowing she was with our babies. Our flight was cancelled multiple times because of the winter storms and she adjusted her stay until we could get back home. Cannot say enough about how awesome Chelsea is!”

“I can't recommend Dianne enough! My cat, Peanut, is extremely shy and anxious around people, but she made her feel completely comfortable and cared for. It was clear that Dianne has a genuine love for animals and knows how to approach even the most nervous pets with patience and kindness. I felt confident leaving my Turkish Van cat in her care and will absolutely be booking again!”

“Yvette did a great job. We have an aggressive dog so our situation isn’t the easiest for most sitters but she kept everyone safe and our home clean. We would highly recommend her.”
“Lyndsey is the best nanny for my dogs! She stays in my home over night with them and treats them like they are her own! My dogs love her so much and we’re so thankful to have her! I have rebooked numerous times and will continue as long as I can with her! Highly recommend!!!”

“Stella is fantastic! great with my animals, this last visit I was having AC issues and she made sure everyone was comfy while I had someone come service the unit. highly recommend her!”


About: I have had cats since I was born and a dog since I was six and I have learned to care for them to my full extent. I have also been the one to groom my dog for many years. When I take care of your pet I will love and care for them like they are my own. I’ve just graduated high school and am excited to spend my summer taking care of pets! I’m currently available whenever, as I want to care for any and all pets I can! I do not offer boarding due to having two cats, but I provide reliable in home care.You can trust that I will fully respect your space, follow instructions clearly and give your pets the same love, attention, and care that I give my own.
“Elizabeth is absolutely amazing! She watched our boys while we were gone for my surgery and it was such a relief knowing they where in good hands! One of my boys was even having tummy troubles and she handled it like a champ. 10000% recommend her!”

“Gracie was super awesome! The dogs were very well taken care of, as well as the house- she even had to deal with an emergency plumbing situation in the middle of the night! She was calm and collected, highly highly recommend! Thank you, Gracie!”


“Jennifer was fantastic. Daily updates, took our dog on walks and to a dog park for activities. The house was also kept in great shape. Will be using her again for sure.”


About: I've had dogs my entire life and always helped out friends and family with dog sitting. This has included staying walking, feeding, and playing with their pups or just checking on them during the day while they are at work! I now have two cats of my own (Oscar and Poppy) and help out my mom and sister with their cats when they are out of town! I understand how all pets are different and will respect your pets boundaries and do what I can to make them the most comfortable while you are away. I prefer smaller dogs or dogs that do not require a lot of exercise as I am not as comfortable walking big dogs. I work as an educator and am free majority of the day during the summer. I can come check on your pets multiple times a day and ensure they are loved on, played with, fed, and watered! I will love on your pets and play with them like my own or simply check on them from afar if that is what they prefer. I am looking to care for your pet in an environment where they are most comfortable and will cater to their preferences and respect their boundaries.

“Having Ayisha at our place was just amazing. She was super nice with our dog. She kept us updated throughout the entire stay and even went out of her to help us solve a small issue at home. We are so grateful for her care and kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to take care of their pets. We ll definitely be calling her again!”

Arlington Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Look no further! You have found your sitter! Natalie is extremely poised, communicative, loving with our pets. We have only left our tiny toy poodles once before, so we are as neurotic as they come. At our “meet and greet”, our most shy one let Natalie hold her as we walked around the house and outside. Natalie is what we would call a dog-whisperer. Her personality is so calm, our babies trusted her immediately.

Lyndsey is the best nanny for my dogs! She stays in my home over night with them and treats them like they are her own! My dogs love her so much and we’re so thankful to have her! I have rebooked numerous times and will continue as long as I can with her! Highly recommend!!!

What we love most about Jen is her love for animals! She offered a meet and greet before we left town, which really put my mind at ease! She sent pics and videos of the dogs while we were away, she even brought a toy for each of our 3 dogs!!! We hope to book Jen each time we leave town! I trust her in our home, she just took care of everything

Demi and Jimmy were absolutely amazing!! They took the time to come and meet our fur babies ahead of time and get to know us. They sent us frequent updates and pictures over the 14+ days that we were away from our house. When we got home our house was cleaner than we had left it for them. Being new to the area were were very leary of finding someone trustworthy and reliabel to stay in our home with our pets. We are very releived to have found wonderful people who took great care of our animals and our home. Thank you both very much!
