“Timothy is our puppy’s favorite sitter (and ours too!). It’s clear he really understands and empathizes with dogs of all ages and sizes. We’ve had multiple stays at Timothy’s place, and every time our dog comes home happy, well-cared for and occasionally having made new dog friends! We especially appreciate the way he handles our rambunctious labrador puppy- calm, kind, and confident. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in good hands. We’re grateful to have found him, highly recommend!”

“Ania was absolutely fabulous with my boy! Took him for a nice long walk. I could tell when I picked him up that he had really bonded with her.”

“Katrina is AMAZING! We are so lucky we found her. She took such good care of Calvin—probably better than his own humans! :) Calvin takes a little bit to warm up to people but after his first day with Katrina, he already gets exited when he hears her name. She takes her job very seriously and I feel confident he is in good hands. Definitely recommend!”

“Gabriel was an excellent dog sitter for Walnut. He was attentive, patient, and very professional throughout the entire experience. He communicated clearly, provided updates, and always confirmed details, which gave me great peace of mind. Walnut seemed very happy and comfortable with him, and it was clear he genuinely enjoyed spending time with Gabriel. I truly felt that Walnut was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Gabriel and would love for him to continue sitting for us in the future.”

About: What sets me aside from other sitters is the love i have for animals. Since i was a little girl I've always loved being around animals they were and still are very therapeutic to me. I've had big dogs from Pitbull's, Dobermann, American bullies, all the way down to tiny dogs; yorkies, shitzu etc. even different kinds of cats you name it. As I've gotten older I've gained sooo much experience to the point I've had at home births with my dogs and cats all by myself; even home training my own animals as well. My goal here is to gain a work related reputation where i can truly start doing what i love and make a name for myself until i can become that super Veterinarian I've always dreamed of being. So far all i have is personal experience with dealing with animals at home and at my job(My residents animals). This would truly mean a lot if i can show off my skills and how genuine i am with animals and even people. Pet Care currently fits for me during the week days. I work doubles every Saturday and Sunday; whereas for school i do online Vet courses which is self pace. Which means i am free during the week Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm if communicated at least at least 30min-1hr in advanced i could stay later if needed. Although, I am a mother which means i can not do any services past 7pm nor any over night services. I also am located downtown Chicago but I am willing to travel!! One thing about me i will spoil your baby(s) haha; I am very hands on and affectionate with animals unless they require space lol. I have never been a crate animal person BUT i know every household is different and every animal requires different training. Again, animals bring a lot of joy to my heart; very therapeutic for me and if given the chance you wouldn't be disappointed i promise!.

“Ashley was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure that my dog was comfortable with his stay at her house while I worked. She was very communicative, made sure to have full understanding of his care, and gave him lots of love! From the moment I dropped him off, I can tell she really cares about the pets she and her daughter care for, when I picked Echo up at the end of the day, he was so sad to leave! I’ll definitely be booking with Ashley again! :)”

“Amy provided exceptional care for Maeve during her time at daycare. Maeve had an amazing time playing with her new friend Frank, and Amy treated her with the same warmth and attention as if she were her own. I highly recommend Amy and look forward to booking with her again!”

About: Hi! My name is Monica and I recently graduated from Indiana University. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I was in college, I fostered through local animal shelters, which gave me experience caring for animals with all different personalities, ages, and needs. I’m also currently a volunteer at the Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago, where I help care for animals and support the shelter. I work from home, so I’m able to give pets a lot of attention throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone for long. My dad is also recently retired and home most of the time, so there’s always someone around to give extra attention, playtime, and care. I have a small Yorkie named Tucker and a cat named Penny. They’re both very friendly and used to being around other animals. Tucker is great at matching other dogs’ energy (whether they want to play or relax), and Penny is very calm and tends to mind her own business. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away! I recently graduated from Indiana University and am now back home in Chicago full-time. My dad is retired and home all day, and I spend most of my time at home too, so your pet will always have company and attention. I’m not super busy and genuinely love being around animals — it’s the perfect setup! I have a private, fully fenced yard and never let pets outside without supervision. My home is spacious, and pets are welcome to relax anywhere they’d like. I also have a 2-year-old, 4.5-pound Yorkie who mostly keeps to himself but is always up for a little playtime if your pet wants a buddy! I’m happy to crate your dog at night if you prefer, or they’re welcome to sleep with me — I’d love that too!

“So understanding, so amazing, so caring and loving. I could tell Molu loved staying with them. I first did a meet and greet and got such amazing vibes and warm aurora. I immediately knew I trusted them. When I dropped Molu off they were giving so many updates, it was so cute :) she will most definitely be a regular with them”

“Tamara is great! My dog is excited every time I drop her off. I’ve used her services for about a month and she’s very consistent and flexible.”

Jennifer C.

“E. Took wonderful care of my fur baby. She is very responsive, sends pictures and updates. It was my very first time using rover and E. I was very comfortable leaving my 8 week old pup with E. I will continue to use E. for our doggy daycare. I also like the that my pup got to socialize with other pups.”

Andrea R.

“Tommy was great! He was super accommodating to both me and my dogs needs. I will definitely be booking with a Tommy in the future.”

“Sundae had a great time with Songen and poopoo. Sundae loves playing with poopoo and Songen does a great job of providing updates on how Sundae is doing.”

About: Hi. I have over 20 years of experience work with animals, especially dogs. I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I have experienced with ages from 8 weeks to over 20 years. I can help with sitting, boarding, walking, cuddling, playing, the list can go on an on. For boarding I currently have no pets of my own at home as in the last year my 2 loved dogs passed at the ages of 19 and 20. I’m currently working from home so I can go out for potty breaks every couple hours and walks every 4 hours. Feeding will depend on your dogs needs and routine. I care for other just as I care for my own pets, with love, caution and safety. My home and yard are safe and secure.

“Vivian was amazing! Communicating with her was seamless and she took awesome care of my girl Maya. I loved getting pics and videos of Maya playing with her adorable pup Dior. I would def recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. Thanks for being such a great sitter.”

Tenzin W.

“Anni is so amazing!! She watches our puppy when my boyfriend is traveling and I have to be in office and she sends so many updates and our puppy Sally loves seeing her every time.”

Cadence P.

“Nathan did a great job taking care of our 6 month old puppy. This was the first time our pup stayed away from my husband and I, and Nathan did an amazing job. Nathan's calming personality made my pup comfortable around him right away. I got frequent pictures and updates throughout the day, which was very comforting. And Nathan was also able to drop off our pup back at home at the end of the day. Highly recommend Nathan!”

Merin M.

“I had my dog Mildred with me while in town for a conference. Ksemia was super responsive, vey flexible, and took such great care of Mildred! Mildred took to her immediately and I got updates of all her adventures. I will definitely work with her again when I'm in Chicago!”

About: I grew up with a family dog for 13 years, which taught me the long-term care, patience, and responsibility dogs need at every stage of life. After that, I lived abroad in Portugal where I gained over 2 years of hands-on experience dog sitting and walking, caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and routines. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, and making sure each dog feels safe and loved while their owner is away. I’ve also cared for dogs of friends and family, which has made me adaptable to different temperaments. What sets me apart is that I truly treat every dog like my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and always keep owners updated for peace of mind. I currently have full availability. I can provide flexible scheduling, consistent attention, regular walks, and companionship throughout the day, ensuring each dog gets the care, time, and affection they need. My building has a designated dog walking area, and there are nearby parks. I provide a safe, supervised home environment for boarding dogs. They’ll have full access to my apartment and are welcome to relax with me on the couch/bed or wherever they feel most comfortable.
