About: I’m your go-to when pet-care of all kinds is needed. I’m an animal lover at heart. I can accommodate special needs or medical needs with proper instruction, as well as dogs that require high levels of physical activity. I have cared for birds, fish, tortoises, cats, and dogs. I also have my own French Bulldog that is a mix of chill and playful and loves the company of other animals - cats and dogs alike. I work from home, so your dog can have as much attention as they need. Between my work schedule and the freedom and flexibility I have in my life right now, I am able to accommodate longer bookings, if and when needed. I am child-free and work from home, so your pet will lots of attention and affection. I work full time and am most active with my own dog in the morning before I start work around 9:30am and then, again, when I get done with work around 6pm. While working from home allows for plenty of excuses to get outside and opportunities for play breaks. Weekends are a balance of snuggling with my dog while bingeing on a good show and enjoying all the dog friendly outdoor spaces the area has to offer us. We can adjust our activity levels, as needed, in order to settle into a routine thats right for your pets. Dogs are always on leash with me on walks unless we’re at an off leash dog park, which would require your permission. I am a pets-are-family kind of gal, so your pets will be treated as such while they’re in my care. I live in a dog-friendly apartment complex with a fenced in courtyard that provides great opportunities for sniffs, playtime, and outdoor lounging. I know it’s hard to be away from your fur baby, and I’m happy to send plenty of photo pupdates if you’d like.

About: I have my own bull mastiff, trained him myself. Sit, stay, pray, paw, lay down, and he doesn’t pull on the leash and taught him how to “go home”. I’ve been around dogs my entire life as I have had a few and my mom has been on rover for 10 years dog sitting. I am a College student with primarily online classes so my schedule is flexible. I am not on campus, and am currently at home in Rolling Meadows. I care for pets in my own home as if they were my own. Very responsible college athlete, just finished my 3rd year of basketball and will graduate with my bachelors in May. Mindful of other peoples property and environments.

“Morgan is a very friendly and gentle care giver for our dogs. She is always on time and very patient. I also like that she has tones of experiences in the animal hospital. I’m looking forward to work with Morgan long term and will not hesitate to recommend her.”

“Cristina did such a wonderful job with our 12-year old Lab mix! He can be a difficult dog but she handled him wonderfully, was a great communicator, and took some of the best photos of our pup ever! I am happy to recommend Cristina unreservedly!”

“Melanie was excellent, very good with my two cats and very communicative. I highly recommend her if you are looking for quality care for your animals!”

“We have never left our dogs with someone before/had someone come over to do drop ins for our dogs, so I was hesitant on trusting a stranger. But at the meet and greet, I knew Sarah was going to be awesome! She was thorough with her questions, got a great understanding of the dogs, even asked questions I didn't think of! I felt our home and dogs were safe with her the entire weekend. She gained our trust instantly (which is not something that happens often)! The dogs loved her and had the best time with her!?”

About: I'm not your average pet sitter—I'm your four-legged friend's new BFF! 🙌 I bring more than just a love for pets; I've got the experience to back it up. I've cared for a diverse mix of dog breeds, from the tiniest Chihuahuas to the biggest St. Bernards🐕 Picture this: I'm not just about walking and feeding. I've fine-tuned the art of tailoring experiences. Whether it's a high-energy ball of fluff or a wise old soul, I know the drill—daily exercise, customized feeding plans, and nailing the tricky task of giving meds💊 But let's get real—I'm not just a pet caregiver; I'm a pet communicator. Regular updates and clear chats with you are my forte. I want you to feel like you're right there with us, even if you're miles away. Your peace of mind is just as important as your pet's happiness🥰 Now, here's where it gets personal. I've got a soft spot for seniors. Over the years, I've become a pro at catering to their unique needs. Whether it's helping them navigate or ensuring they're cozy, consider it done. Handling multiple pets? Easy peasy 👍Your furry family is in for a treat under my watch!!💕 Pet care isn't just a job for me; it's woven into the fabric of my daily routine. From sunrise strolls to late-night cuddle sessions, I make sure your furry pals get the attention and care they deserve every day. Whether it's mealtime, playtime, or just some good old-fashioned belly rubs, your pets are a priority in my schedule. I believe in consistency, so you can rest easy knowing that your pets are getting the same love and care day in and day out. On weekends, from 7 am to 8 pm, consider me your pet's dedicated companion. Whether it's a leisurely 30 or 60-minute stroll, a house-sitting adventure, or a quick 30-minute drop-in visit, I'm ready to tailor the experience to your pet's preferences. Weekends are for making memories, and I'm here to ensure your pet has a tail-wagging good time. Flexibility is my middle name, so I can easily adapt to fit your pet's unique needs and quirks. Let's sync up our schedules and create a routine that keeps tails wagging and whiskers twitching with happiness! Creating a safe, trusting environment is the backbone of my pet care philosophy. When I step into your home, I'm not just a visitor; I'm a guardian dedicated to your pet's well-being. Safety first – I meticulously pet-proof the space, identifying and removing any potential hazards. From securing loose cords to ensuring toxic plants are out of reach, I've got it covered. Your pet's security is my top priority. Trust is built on transparency, so you'll receive regular updates, photos, and detailed reports on our adventures. Communication is key, and I want you to feel connected to your pet's experience, even when you're not there. Environment matters – I maintain a clean and cozy space, respecting your home as much as you do. Whether it's snuggle time on the couch or a playful romp in the backyard, I create an environment that mirrors the comfort and routine your pet is accustomed to. I understand that each pet is unique, with different needs and preferences. That's why I adapt to their personality, providing the care and attention that aligns with their individual quirks. Your home isn't just a place I visit; it becomes a familiar haven where your pets thrive under my watchful eye. In essence, safety, trust, and a harmonious environment are the cornerstones of my pet care approach. Let me be the dependable caretaker your pets can trust, right in the comfort of their own home.

About: I’ve been pet sitting dogs, cats, and small exotic pets for over a decade! I initially gained professional dog-handling experience from dog daycares/kennels. Then I became a vet tech and have worked in emergency care as well as general practice for a few years. I love taking care of pets in their own homes and do whatever I can to keep your pet on their normal routine while you’re gone! I'm comfortable with canines, felines, small animals, old, young, and everyone in between! Let me come care for your pets in the comfort of their own space, I will love them like they are my own. I petsit and dog walking for a living, so I will prioritize each visit on my schedule. I organize my schedule to accommodate each clients needs and am open and communicative should there be any last minute changes to the agreement. I take safety very seriously. I keep doors locked behind me unless told otherwise. I make sure if we’re going outside that the leash/harness is secure, and I don’t allow other people or pets to approach us on walks for safety. I’m Fear Free certified which means I’ve taken courses on body language and how to interact with dogs specifically.

“Gabrielle has consistently been so wonderful with our dog and cat! We're so thankful for how well she cares for them and communicates with us. We absolutely recommend her!!”

“We booked with Berlyn for two drop in visit today for our 4 month old puppy. We have a camera at home to monitor the puppy and I can see the puppy has been sleeping after Berlyn’s visits. Must be tired from the platings I guess. Booking with Berlyn is easy and he is really prompt with replying my requests. And he also gave me updates of when he enters and leaves our house and provided a lot of pictures and videos. I would highly recommend him as a trusted dog sitter or perhaps walker when our puppy is old enough to go on walks.”

“Sandy always takes such wonderful care of my Cora as if she was her own kitty. While I never like leaving Cora behind when I travel for work, I know she’s in great care with Sandy. She’s trustworthy, kind, and an all-around lovely person. I also highly value the peace of mind knowing Sandy is an experienced vet tech if anything were to ever happen. She’s the best!”

About: For the past 8 years, I have been providing off-and-on sitting, boarding, and walking care for various relatives' dogs. Through caring for family pets, ranging from energetic Boxers to gentle Cockapoos, I have gained extensive, hands-on experience handling different temperaments, routines, and unique canine behaviors. While household allergies mean I am unable to have a full-time dog of my own, opening up my schedule to part-time pet sitting allows me to bring my passion for dogs into my daily life. This setup works beautifully for my clients, as it means your dog receives 100% of my focused attention and care during their time with me, without competing for space with a resident pet. Because I am currently doing pet care full-time, my schedule is highly flexible and open. I am available throughout the day for morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-in visits, seven days a week. This open availability means I can easily accommodate your dog’s specific routine, feeding times, and potty schedule without rush. Whether you need a reliable midday walker while you are at the office, or a flexible sitter for last-minute weekend plans, I am here to provide consistent, dedicated care when you need it most. Safety on Walks & Drop-Ins Safety is my absolute top priority. When walking your dog, I practice active situational awareness—I monitor the environment for triggers like loud traffic, bicycles, or off-leash dogs well before they become an issue. I use a secure, two-handed leash grip and never let your dog off-leash in public spaces. If your dog is sensitive or easily spooked, I am happy to take quieter routes and use positive reinforcement to keep them feeling safe and secure. My Home Environment (For Short-Term Boarding) I live in a clean, smoke-free home with a secure, fully fenced yard where your dog can safely stretch their legs under my direct, 100% supervision. I do not have any resident dogs or cats, meaning your pup will enjoy a peaceful environment without the stress of competing for space. We do share our home with a few securely housed reptiles (a Ball Python, a DeKay's Brown Snake, and two leopard geckos) who live strictly inside their locked enclosures, completely out of reach of guest dogs. Because we manage a saliva allergy in our household, my home is kept exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and structured. We maintain excellent boundaries: guest dogs are kept out of bedrooms and are safely crated during bedtime or if I ever need to step out for a brief moment. Your dog will receive a wonderful balance of structure, safety, and a whole lot of love.

“Rebeckah is the sweetest pet sitter I have ever met! She made my first time using Rover so wonderful, and I look forward to the next time my kitties can have a play date with her. She was very attentive towards any special needs/care that our pets need. One of my boys is usually very afraid towards humans, but it seemed otherwise with the photos I got from Rebeckah :)”
