“Max was an awesome dog sitter in our home for our two pups while we were out of town for a week. He was very caring, followed directions, and was communicative throughout the stay. Thanks to him, our dogs were played with, cared for, and loved. We will definitely be using his services again in the future!”

“Miguel was so good with our old girl! He even carried her down the stairs when she was having trouble. He was great with communication and made sure everything was in order so we could relax on our trip!”

“Victor was amazing watching over Paco. (For a whole week!) Very communicative and I felt at ease as I enjoyed my trip away from home receiving updates throughout my time away. Would highly recommend Victor to anyone looking for a dog/house sitter.”


“So grateful to Robin for taking the best care of my dogs while I had a family emergency. Knowing they were safe made it so much easier to focus on my family. We so appreciate her!!”

“Margaret was absolutely phenomenal with August. He is a bit shy at first, but her patience and sweetness paid off quickly and he absolutely loved her. Highly recommend Margaret for all your pet needs —August can’t wait to see her again! ❤️”

About: I have had animals my whole life. I raised a puppy from 6 weeks to adulthood and worked alongside a professional dog trainer with specialized techniques on walking side by side (no pulling), food aggression, and jumping. I also fostered sick kittens for a year learning about medication administration and finding the care necessary. I will love your animal as if my own and can’t wait to meet them! I am currently in college for Musical Theatre. I have a light schedule ready to take on a full time job with your pets. It will be very achievable to work out the best fit and schedule for both you and your pet. I will go based on your wants and needs. I love to go on long walks on trusted routes, continuing to work on training for their listening. I enjoy playing indoors and giving them loads of attention and company to make them feel loved and cared for as well as following their preexisting meal and health plans.

“Beth was great! Her calm demeanor instantly put our normally hyper pup at ease. She was very communicative throughout the weekend, took our pup on many walks, and our house was probably more tidy than when we left it. We look forward to booking with her again.”

“Ale was so amazing! I have a senior dog who doesn't like other dogs, but Ale was able to stay over, take him on walks, and give him lots of love. My apartment was also cleaner when I got back than how I left it, which was super nice! I think Rocky had a great time and I would definitely recommend Ale :)”

“Kristina is such a great dog sitter! She was a lifesaver when we needed to find a person to watch our dogs at the last minute. She is very responsive, professional, and clearly loves animals! I can tell that our dogs miss her already. I would without a doubt recommend her if you ever need someone to care for your dogs. ☺️”

About: Moved to Chicago and thought I would get back on Rover since there are so many cute dogs in the city. I am very flexible on what I charge. I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years-old. I work in the veterinary world. So I have a passion for animals. I trained my own dogs from puppies to well-behaved adults. I have experience with high maintenance dogs in regards to appetite, walking time, and play time. My experience has helped me become a well-rounded sitter/walker to help your dog thrive while you are not around. I currently work from home with a very flexible schedule on Monday, Thursday, Friday. I am home at 5pm Tuesday and Wednesday. I am able to walk or watch your dog after 5pm on those days. I also have full-availability on the weekends. I don’t mind doing house sit ins. I have an apartment with an open space. There is a grass yard in front of my apartment and lots of areas to walk your dog around my residence. I can walk your dog on the 606 trail. I can crate your dog based on your needs and your pets.

“Victoria worked wonderfully with my dog when I was away for the weekend. She was easy to communicate with, followed all instructions, and provided cute photo updates throughout the stay :) I’ll definitely be using her services again!”

Ashley was amazing! She took great care of Fig, was extremely communicative with us and sent us lots of great pictures and updates about how he was doing! She took great care of our home as well! I would definitely recommend her to a friend or book her again to look after Fig.

This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone other than my mom. Misha stayed with him for 3 nights and I can say for certain Misha has a gift for this! He warmed right up to her and the two had a ball all weekend. My dog can be a bit of a spoiled brat, and she handled his diva attitude perfectly lol. She gave lots of updates and pictures. She followed the care instructions to a tee! The house is in perfect shape, you wouldn’t even know she was here. If you’re nervous about using Rover for the first time - go with Misha and you and your pet will be happy and at ease.

Nancy took excellent care of my senior dog! She is very thorough. She made sure she knew all the details of his routine and how best to care for him. She is great at communicating too. She sent pictures while I was away which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Nancy!
Sarah was absolutely wonderful. This was my first time leaving my two cats with a sitter, and Sarah stayed at my apartment for about two weeks. She took excellent care of my babies, and when I came home, she left the place freshly cleaned. She sent updates and pictures of the kitties while I was gone, and I can tell my girls were very well looked after. I would happily have Sarah watch them anytime.

This is the second time we’ve used Lidiana to care for our 17-year old pup: the first time was for a period of over two weeks when my husband and I were on vacation and the last time was just for one night. She is reliable, caring, and communicative. We plan on using her for as long as she’s available and willing!
