About: First time using Rover? Use our code for $20 off your first booking! STEPHP14625 Hi! Stephanie and Kevin here! We live in Roscoe Village, Chicago with our 4 year old Beagle mix, Leon and 7 year old cat, TBone. Leon is very social and his absolute favorite thing is to play with other Rover pups. We decided to join Rover to help others beat the cost and uncertainty of boarding facilities. Your pets will be in great care with Kevin and I, and we will make sure they have the best experience possible! We both work from home and will be able to meet the needs of your pet at all times. We have a fenced in backyard that allows for playtime and we love taking walks through the neighborhood! We very much look forward to working with you and your furry loved ones! Please Note: Rover overnight stays cover a 24-hour period. We offer a late pick-up grace period of 3 hours. For late pickups that are beyond 3 hours, a day care rate of $20-$40 will be added to the booking.

About: I took care of my dog Disney for 17 years! I will be sure to treat my clients’ dogs with the same care and respect as my own furry best friend. I currently work from home so I have a flexible schedule to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening services during the week and on some weekends. I will be sure to keep your dogs and puppies safe when I take them outside for walks. I am very aware of my surroundings.

“Emily always does a wonderful job! She takes my 100 pound German Shepherd for walks with no complaints; and I know he can be a puller! She always shows up for her time with Atlas and makes sure he gets plenty of exercise while she’s here. Seeing the pictures of him while at work, puts my mind at ease. Atlas and I are so lucky to have Emily’s help!”

“Tina is WONDERFUL! She is so caring, knowledgeable and flexible! She sends the best pictures and updates after walks! Can’t recommend her enough!”
15. Nicole C.
“Nicole has been such an amazing caregiver to our Frenchie, Beans. She’s been dog sitting for us for a while and always does a great job but she’s really shown how wonderful she is in the past few months. Beans had to have spinal surgery in February so he’s needed some extra attention and care. She’s gone above and beyond to make sure he’s well taken care of and was even able to continue his PT exercises with him while we were out of town. It made me feel so much more comfortable leaving knowing he was in capable and caring hands. I highly recommend Nicole for pet sitting!”
16. Jeanette M.
“Jeanette watched my pitbull Iris and was a very responsible and caring dog sitter!! I didn’t have to feel nervous or worried about Iris the whole time I was on vacation! She sent pictures and kept me updated the entire time which brought a real sense of peace to me :-) I was really nervous about being away from my baby but now I have someone I can trust to watch her take great care of her.”
17. Sandra E.
“Sandra is such a superstar! She has extensive personal and professional experience with animals, and I know my pets are in great hands with her. She treats them as if they’re her own. I have two dogs and one cat, and Sandra has cared for my animals for over 4 years. She shines especially bright when caring for cats, I would definitely consider her a cat expert! She is also extremely trustworthy- I cannot recommend her enough if you’re looking for a skilled, compassionate, reliable sitter for your dog or cats. 10/10! 🐶🐱”
18. Emily M.
“Emily is very responsible and has watched my dog multiple times. We go back to her every time! She is a great choice for your special friend!”
19. Fiona D.
About: I have taken care of dogs over weekends for a nannying job and cared for dogs of my own since childhood. I also frequently help my neighbors take care of their dogs when they’re gone! I currently have extra time on my hands for a bit and love going for walks everyday, having a furry friend that can benefit is even more fun! I take my dog on a walk every morning and her care and safely is always a top priority. I also am very responsible and independent
