Dog Sitting in Carol Stream

“Paula is amazing! She knew exactly how to approach our picky German shepherd and adjusted to his needs. She was very calm and comfortable with him. She became his best friend when she walked in with a pup cup in hand. So happy to have found someone reliable we can count on to take care of our fur baby when we go out of town. Thank you!!”

“Eleanor did a fantastic job taking care of our fur baby. She answered to a last minute multi-day request. She was very communicative and took pictures that made being away a bit bearable. We'll definitely be using Eleanor in the future. Thanks again, Eleanor!”

“Mary was great with our dog! She visited prompt, on schedule, took photos for us and even left a little homemade card! Will definitely book again!”

About: I grew up in a family of animal lovers—cats, dogs, birds, even pet cows, turtles, chickens, hermit crabs, and more! Pets have always been family to us, and they were deeply loved and cared for. I’ve been caring for animals my whole life and still do occasional pet sitting. Now, I’m excited to offer my care through Rover! I’ll go any length to keep your pets happy—whether that means giving baths, going on long walks, or showering them with love and plenty of pets. I’d love to treat your pets like the family they are—because they deserve the very best. I’m a part-time college student who also works and babysits, so pet sitting is the perfect flexible gig for me! My schedule changes week to week, but I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening visits most days, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. I can do drop-ins, walks, feedings, baths, playtime, and give your pets all the love and attention they deserve. Weekends and some overnights are also available with notice—just reach out, and I’ll do my best to fit your needs! When caring for your pet, I’ll treat them like one of my own—with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. I’ll stick to their routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding at specific times, going for walks, cleaning up after them, or just giving them extra cuddles and playtime. I make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to give your pet not just care, but genuine companionship and kindness every visit.

“Thank you Leah!”

“Olivia C. is a fantastic pet-sitter! We chose to have her do drop-in visits, & upon meeting w/ her & interacting w/ her we immediately knew that our pet (& house) was in great hands! She’s diligent about every aspect & took extra prep-notes…she was great about coaxing our Nittany kitty to eat certain flavors of his food that he likes less than others, keeping his water bowl clean & full of fresh water, administering his medicine, keeping his litterbox clean, playing w/ him, cuddling w/ him, sending us photos, & sending us fun detailed updates. We think that Nittany thoroughly enjoyed his time w/ Olivia!”

“We had Lauren do a drop in visit for our two dogs. She came over the day before for a meet and greet and was asking a lot of great questions about their routines and behavior. She has a lot of experience with both dogs and cats so we felt very comfortable having her take care of our dogs. During the drop in visit she sent plenty of pictures and a detailed summary. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”

About: I am a high-energy individual who loves all types of dogs! Rover is my first "official" platform, but I have been pet-sitting and caring for dogs since I was young. As I got older, I gained more responsibility and more training with the family dog. I have had a lot of experience with adopted dogs, young and old, and promise to provide the best care while you are away. My parent's current dog that I care for often also has given me experience with regular medication/monitoring health concerns while also providing superior care. If your dog loves to play outside, go for a run, soak in the sun and play tug of war (but also sneak a nap in too), I am your pet-sitter! I am currently a fitness coach that works non-normal hours, so I can spend significant time with your furry baby! I can also stay long hours overnight if needed to keep your pet relaxed while you are away. Depending on the day, your pet could be alone for 3-6 hours a day with me. I will care for the pet's health concerns (including medication), make sure they have ample time outside (weather dependent) for potty time and exercise, and will care for their physical health if requested (ie brush coat or give bath). I will ask about how they interact with other dogs, people, animals so I can protect your pet and keep them safe.

About: Hi, I’m Ryan a lifelong pet lover with 4 cats, 1 dog, and years of hands-on experience! Your pets will be treated like family with me because that’s exactly how I treat my own. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust when it comes to your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m working as a part time contractor right now with a flexible schedule. I’m available mornings, evenings, and nights to work around your pets needs. As someone who lives with 4 cats and a dog, I understand how important it is to provide a calm, secure, and pet-friendly environment. I treat every animal in my care with the same level of attention and love I give to my own. • I closely follow your instructions for feeding, medication, routines, and quirks • I create a stress-free environment for cats, with quiet spaces, gentle handling, and plenty of patience • For dogs, I ensure safe walks, avoid risky interactions, and keep them active and happy • I’m always alert to signs of stress, discomfort, or unusual behavior and will keep you updated • I double-check doors, leashes, litter boxes, and feeding areas to keep everything safe and clean

“Grace was AMAZING and is so knowledgeable about dogs and their unique needs. She was so patient and knew exactly how to get our dog with bad anxiety more comfortable. We really appreciate her help and the updates during the drop- in visit.”

“Melissa was terrific! I reached out to her because I was in a bind. She was very kind, and came to do a meet and greet, and jumped right in the next day. Our dogs were very well taken care of, and we couldn't be happier. Thank you Melissa!”

Tammy D.

“Aurora was amazing with our dogs. She checked in the morning of the pop-in visits and took great care of the pups while we were busy. We'll definitely use her again!”

Mike G.

“My wife and I needed daily drop-in visits for our cat, Dottie, while we were gone for vacation. Before hiring her, Virginia was kind enough to stop by for a meet and greet a couple weeks before we left. We liked her right away and felt good that Dottie would be looked after well. We asked for daily feedings, pictures, and to clean the litter box every other day. Virginia sent us daily multiple pictures and even cute videos. She even played with Dottie which was not something we expected her to do. Dottie is beyond precious to us and we are very grateful how well she was taken care of by Virginia.”

For boarding, my pick up and drop off hours are between 8 am - 8 pm. Anything outside of those hours will be an additional $20 charge.

The dogs are welcome to every area in my home including beds and couches! I want your dog to be as comfortable as I am.

“Pailin was wonderful! She memorized both dogs feeding, play, and rules from the meet and greet and followed them to a T! We have 2 Great Danes weighing over 150lbs each and Pailin took them both on without hesitation, and the best part is the dogs LOVED her! 10/10 would recommend! Thanks, Pailin! We’ll see you again soon, im sure!”
