House Sitting Brighton Park

“Tatyanna, took such good care of our girls! She had great communication with us throughout our entire stay and really went above and beyond to make the pups comfortable and well looked after.”

“Nicole came in clutch with a last minute house sitting for our two cats, one of which is sick. She did such a great job looking after them and administering oral medication. Extremely communicative, attentive to detail, and truly caring for our pets. Went above and beyond. Highly recommend and we are excited to work with Nicole again soon!”

“Ava was wonderful with our 3 pups. She knew how to manage their chaos and treated them so sweetly. She left the place looking great and really just went above and beyond. We will definitely be using her services again.”

“Fiona was an all around excellent pet sitter. From the initial consult to the key return she was communicative and professional. She took such good care of my girls and my home, and sent plenty of updates and pictures! She truly went above and beyond for me and my pets and handled every hiccup (on my end) with tact and kindness. I will be booking her everytime I need a sitter! :)”

Amanda S.

“I came home to happy pups, that’s all I can ask for. Lizbeth was very sweet with my 3 dogs who all differ in personality. She was easy to communicate with and kept me updated while I was away. I will be using her again for future sitting needs.”

“Mairead was fantastic! She was so good with my dogs and sent me tons of pictures and updates. My dogs can be a bit anxious the first day with a new person and she handled it perfectly. She was so good about questions if something came up and letting me know how the dogs were doing each day. I never worried that my dogs were in the best hands!”

Anna M.

“Elizabeth is always so great with my dog! I really appreciate the consistent pictures and updates while I’m gone, it really puts my mind at ease. This is my second time having her house sit and both times have been amazing!”

Oswaldo A.

“Cristian was awesome. Very communicative and asked all the right questions before booking and updated us frequently with what was going on with our dog. He went above and beyond and took him for an extra walk and feed when our flight was delayed for 4 hours. I’ll definitely book him again!”

Jessica W.

“Kelso was great. She was very responsive and communicative and our dog seemed quite happy and content when we returned. Bonus: she left the house clean and left her towels freshly laundered!”

Lynne P.

“Nicole was superb: friendly, prompt, communicative, and most of all, really great with our two puppies. They got more walks with her than they have in a very long time! She sent videos, photos, and updates each day, which we really appreciated. Will absolutely book her again.”

About: I’ve lived with dogs my entire life. Everything from labs, adopted mutts, terriers, vizslas, poodles, goldendoodles, big, medium, and small. I have yet to meet a breed that I can't whisper to. While my profile on Rover is new, I have been walking and house-sitting dogs on the side for years, for neighbors in the area and a small network of family friends I've kept up since middle school. Additionally, I am a serious runner and regularly put in 20-30 miles a week. If you have a Vizsla, Greyhound, Weimaraner, or any other high-energy breed that needs a run to blow off some steam, please reach out! I’d love to take them out with me on the trails. Primarily, I serve the West Suburbs, West Loop, and North Side neighborhoods; I currently reside in the Oak Park area, and attend the UIC campus on Harrison and Halsted. Please note: To ensure the absolute best and safest care for your pup, I do require a quick Meet & Greet before accepting any first-time bookings Looking forward to hearing from you. I am currently in summer school at UIC, and will be in class from 8am to noon on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so your dog would be alone for about 4 hours on those days. Before I leave, they will get a good walk, and when I'm back they'll spend the rest of the day with me doing homework, tutoring, or getting outside for a walk or run. I always treat every dog like my own. I make sure they are secure, comfortable, get all the pets and treats they need, and are never alone longer than necessary. You will also receive daily updates along the way, so you'll always know how they're doing.

About: I’ve have taken care of pets before as I do have a dog myself and I have also looked over and cared for cats cause anytime family is away anytime I look over them. I’m currently in summer break from college and I been spending time with my dog and making sure he goes outside and I also have time to make appointments for him such as vet visits or showers. In my house we have a gate and we always the gate close so my dog doesn’t get out. I also have the a/c running most of the time so my dog could chill as summer is coming around the corner. I always make sure he has food and water.

“Zoe is AMAZING! She took such good care of my dog Maple while I was out of town, and I got frequent updates and pics. In every picture Maple looked so happy! I think Maple might want me to go out of town more often if it means getting to spend more time with Zoe. I can’t thank her enough for the peace of mind for knowing my baby was in good hands and having a great time with her. If I could give her more than 5/5 stars, I would!”

“Allison is absolutely fantastic. I feel so comfortable leaving my dog and my home in her hands. We will absolutely continue to be repeat customers!”

Kelsie A.

“Justice took good care of my dog and four cats. She was very communicative and had to follow a medication regimen and somewhat complicated feeding system. I will definitely book her again when I’m next out of town!”

Caroline H.

“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 :)”

About: Hola! I’m Barbara—an economic justice advocate, Red Cross volunteer, and total bonafide Dog Mom. I grew up surrounded by German Shepherds, but as an adult, I fell in love with the little ones—starting with my very first Shih Tzu, who looked more like an Ewok than a dire wolf! For over 20 years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve walked and cared for cats and dogs of all ages and sizes, from playful puppies to seniors needing a little extra TLC. In 2020, my life changed when I adopted a special-needs Shih Tzu named Chewy, who has a rare condition called Megaesophagus and eats upright in a “Bailey chair.” Chewy’s thriving journey has been such a gift—and we’ve shared it with a supportive community through his Instagram Now that Chewy is doing great, we’ve been hosting more furry friends and officially joined Rover to offer personalized, loving care to other pets—especially small to medium dogs. I work remotely, so I’m home most of the day and love having a companion to walk, cuddle, and care for. ✅ We only care for one household’s pets at a time—so your dog(s) will get all the attention ✅ Calm, flexible, and experienced with both healthy pets and those with medical or mobility needs ✅ Fully covered with Pet Sitter Insurance for your peace of mind ✅ Let’s set up a Meet & Greet to see if we’re the right fit! Whether you’re going out of town or just need a reliable sitter, Chewy and I are ready to make your dog feel right at home. I work from home full-time, which means your furry little one will get plenty of attention throughout the day. I have the flexibility to take them on walks, enjoy playtime like fetch or tug-of-war, and give them the love and companionship they need—whether it’s a quick potty break or a full day of care. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow any instructions you provide closely—feeding schedules, medications, preferred routines, and behavior notes are all part of the care plan. I also keep your pet's environment calm, clean, and cozy, just like you'd want it to be. In my home, I care for only one household’s pets at a time to make sure your dog gets plenty of one-on-one attention. I supervise all outdoor time and never allow off-leash play unless in a securely fenced area. I also have Pet Sitter Insurance for added peace of mind. If I’m visiting your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I give your pet—double-checking doors, cleaning up, and keeping things tidy and secure. And if anything seems off while you're away, I’ll keep you informed right away.
