We have been using Jacob for the past few months and he is very reliable. He is responsive and shows up on short notice if we are in a jam. Our dog seems happy when we get home and we always get a photo of their time together. Would definitely recommend.

About: I've cared for pets of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to shy cats to horses, goats, and chickens. I am patient, attentive, reliable, and service-oriented. I have one kitty of my own who has been with me for 10 years now, and strive to treat every pet I care for with the same care and love that I give him. Whether its walks, playtime, or quiet company, I make sure every pet gets exactly what they need to feel comfortable. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time for middle-of-the-day check-ins or multiple visits per day! I am available for everything from energetic dogs in need of long interesting walks to cats that need calm company. I am flexible depending on each pet’s needs. I am comfortable crating dogs, handling different kinds of harnesses, administering medication, and making sure to support any and all behavioural needs.

Stavroula has been great! She communicates well and sends me several pictures of my dog Winston doing his business. I actually have two dogs. Winston was just adopted on Christmas Eve and he's a little over a year old. He isn't fully housebroken due to being found as a stray. When she gets here to let him out, he and my other dog Benson get pretty excited. She deals with their mayhem without complaint. I definitely recommend her!

About: I've been surrounded by the pets of friends and family for my whole life, as a college student, I love petsitting over summer break! I've worked with a diverse range of animals, providing care such as baths, walks, feeding, and most importantly, cuddling! I have experience with dogs with anxiety who need medication as well. I have tons of free time over summer break, and I'd love to help out with your furry friends. Currently on summer break, so pet care would fit seamlessly into my schedule. I'm used to dedicating my summers to animal care, so driving to multiple locations for feedings/walks multiple times a day, or overnight stays, is no problem. I live in an apartment with no front or back yard but am located right across the street from a large park. It may be a little small, but there is more than enough room for animals to roam around. As for pet care outside of the home, I take these duties very seriously and am more than happy to visit multiple times a day, or as necessary. I also frequently take pictures/videos to send updates, and am happy to do so at your immediate request.

About: I have had a dog my whole life and feel very connected to them. Generally, I prefer big dogs but would love any type of dog. I have experience with dogs with seizures and dogs who need medication, as well as some experience with reactive dogs. Since I love to walk, and dogs love to be walked, I think this is a perfect fit! I'm currently not working (through the end of the summer) so I am available weekdays and evenings for walks or doggy day care, as well as on the weekends for walking or boarding. I have a large fenced yard and a friendly, patient Lab Mix to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog if needed and also have lots of indoor space for lounging or playing.

Malcomn has been really great with my two dogs, Fred and Rosie. They are both big dogs with a lot of quirks, but he handles it all professionally and is super friendly. I appreciate how he’s always on time and communicates well. I needed him to come daily for a while after having surgery, and he was able to make it happen every day for several weeks. I appreciated the commitment and we’re going to set up regular walks going forward.

About: I've had a dog in my life ever since I was 5, and I've taken care of my friends pets for even longer! I've also walked four dogs at once, and I'm very proud of that. I have a golden retriever I see three times a week. I'm in-between school and work, I have a lot of free time to take care of animals. I like to be where the animals are, whether there's a backyard, we're on a long walk, or we're cuddling on a couch watching a movie. I do work at home, which results in a lot of close contact.

About: Hi! I’m a nurse and lifelong dog and cat owner who truly understands how much your pets mean to you—they’re family. My background in nursing means I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and calm in any situation, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe, capable hands. I offer drop-in visits, walks, and multiple drop-ins while you are on vacation or other. I’m comfortable administering medications and caring for pets with special needs or routines. Whether your pet needs extra attention, patience, or just a lot of love, I’m here to provide it. You can expect consistent communication, updates, and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet like my own—with kindness, respect, and genuine care. I’d love to meet you and your pet! 🐶🐱 Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I work just 3 days per week, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to provide consistent, attentive care for your pet. On my days off, I have open availability for drop-in visits, walks, and quality time with your pet without feeling rushed. I also provide dependable care during evenings and weekends—perfect for travel, long work shifts, or last-minute needs. My schedule allows me to be reliable, present, and fully focused on your pet’s routine and comfort. You can count on me to show up as scheduled, communicate clearly, and provide steady, trustworthy care every time. 🐾 Caring for your pet in your home is something I take very seriously. As a nurse, safety, attention to detail, and trust are at the core of everything I do. I will follow your pet’s routine closely—from feeding schedules to walks, medications, and any specific instructions—so they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I’m very mindful of home safety as well: ensuring doors are secure, keeping a clean and calm space, and respecting your home as if it were my own. I pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and well-being, and I will communicate any changes or concerns right away. My goal is to provide dependable, stress-free care—so both you and your pet feel completely at ease. 🐾

About: I've lived with dogs ever since I was born. I currently share responsibility of caring for the family dog (who is shown on my profile). I have experience with their care, such as daily walks, feeds, play time, giving necessary medications, and whatever else they need. I also have done cat sitting over the past few years through Rover and outside of Rover, as well as petsitting for birds, rabbits, turtles, and lizards. I even now have a turtle of my own! I currently have little to no limitations that would get in the way of me from doing my duties in caring for your wonderful pet(s). I am typically always home so I would be able to keep your fur baby company and give them whatever attention they would need. I have a backyard fence and a single small dog who can be a bit skittish, but ultimately sleeps most of the day.

About: I’ve been on Rover for the past 6 years and I have also had personal experience with taking care of dogs for about ten years. I have made house visits to my neighbors to care for their dogs while they were away and my family also has a dog of that I have taken care of for the past 12 years. I have always been an animal lover and I love to help in whatever ways that I can. Being able to combine my love for animals with my love for helping people by caring for their pets seems like the perfect part-time job to me. I’ve lived in Oak Park for a few years now so I’ve gotten to know the area well and I love getting to meet all the different animals around! (P.S. I’ll also take great pictures of your pets to send while you’re away) I am available full-time during the week and weekends and I have a pup of my own who would love to make some new friends in the area! I live in an apartment with a lot of parks nearby that I would plan on taking your pet. I have a very friendly pup of my own that loves to play as well.

Maya is the BEST! I had an event to attend and she made sure my baby was taken care of through out the whole day! She stopped by twice , took Chuco on 2 walks and even feed him dinner for me! I couldn’t be more grateful. My dog, Chuco, is always in a better mood when he gets to spend time with Maya!

James did a great job with my dog, Daisy! He walked her once on Thursday and twice on Saturday, and everything went really smoothly. He was always on time, friendly, and clearly comfortable with her. Daisy currently has an injured knee, so she needs limited activity, and James was very attentive to that. He listened to my instructions and took great care of her. I also appreciated the updates and photos through the Rover app after each visit—it gave me peace of mind. I felt very comfortable with James and will definitely be booking him again!

I couldn’t be happier with Dayanne . From the very first visit, it was clear that she genuinely care about my shadows needs . My dog can be a bit shy around new people, but she took the time to build trust and made him feel completely comfortable. Every walk is reliable, on time, and tailored to my dog’s energy level and needs. I also really appreciate the detailed updates and photos after each visit—it gives me peace of mind knowing he’s happy, exercised, and well cared for while I’m away. What truly sets her apart is her professionalism and love for animals. She goes above and beyond, whether it’s refilling water, giving extra attention, or noticing small changes in behavior. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely passionate about dogs, I highly recommend her . It’s made a huge difference for both me and my pup!
