House Sitting Chatham

“Jayden provided such excellent care to our dog and cat. They were communicative and responsive. They were also very kind towards us and our animals. I would highly recommend Jayden to other rover customers, and hope to book with them in the future.”

“Arie has been a great sitter for my dog Millie. She is very responsive and truly cares for your pets, sharing fun moments and asking questions when they come up. I’m very grateful for Arie’s help when I have to travel for work, and I know my girl Millie loves when she comes to visit and play! ☺️”

“Dominique is simply wonderful. She cared for my menagerie of pets - dogs, cat, and chickens - for a 3-day weekend. This was my first time leaving the entire crew with someone and was nervous, but I came home to find everyone alive and well and I could hardly tell she had been there (that is, the house looked exactly as I had left it). She is quick to respond, friendly, competent and confident. I will surely hire her again.”

“We had someone cancel at the last minute and Melissa saved the day!! She was very professional and prompt with replying. She sent lots of photos which put us at ease. My normally very standoffish cat snuggled with her. Definitely looking to hire her again!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 7+ years and have experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies and kittens to seniors who need a little extra patience and help getting around. I’ve also worked with dogs who are leash-reactive, have high prey drives, or simply need a little more structure and individual attention. I’m comfortable with pets who need some extra care, too. I’ve given ear medications and cleaned ears for infections and ear mites, as well as administered eye drops and ointment for a cat with a chronic eye condition. I’ve also cared for senior pets who needed help with stairs, had trouble eating, or needed extra attention with their daily routines. I really enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality and making them feel comfortable and happy while their people are away. Whether that means a long walk, playing with a favorite toy, sticking closely to their usual routine, or just keeping them company on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at! I’m currently taking a gap year while studying for the MCAT, so I have a very flexible schedule and spend much of my day at home studying. When I’m house sitting, I’ll most likely be there with your pets for the majority of the day, which means they’ll have plenty of company, attention, and supervision while you’re away. I’m generally available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, feeding, and playtime, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I do have a weekly figure skating commitment on Tuesdays from about 11:30 AM–2 PM, but I can plan around it and, when scheduled in advance, I’m able to rearrange my plans if your pet needs me home. I’m very attentive to the little things that keep pets safe. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with very different temperaments and needs, including puppies, leash-reactive dogs, high-prey-drive dogs, and pets who need extra supervision or a specific routine. When I’m staying in a client’s home, I make it a point to learn the pet’s normal routine, triggers, habits, and boundaries before they leave. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, and introductions to unfamiliar people or animals, and I don’t assume that every pet can be handled the same way. If a dog needs space from other dogs, a cat prefers to hide for a while, or a pet has a particular way of doing things, I respect that. I also know how important communication is when someone else has your pets. I’m happy to send regular pictures and updates, and I’ll reach out if something seems unusual rather than ignoring it or assuming it’s fine. My goal is for your pets to stay safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away.

“If you are looking for a dog walker who will love your pups as much as you do, look no further than Syenna! Finding someone you trust completely with your home and pets can be nerve-wracking, but Syenna put all our worries to rest. Our two dogs, Cooper and Scuttle, are absolutely obsessed with her. She doesn’t just take them on routine walks—she gives them great exercise, keeps them safe, and never skips the most important part: the post-walk tummy rubs! The moment she arrives, Cooper and Scuttle start spinning with joy and literally flop at her feet. Syenna is reliable, punctual, professional, and deeply attentive to their individual personalities. Having her in our routine brings us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs are in the best possible hands. Cooper, Scuttle, and our entire family give her 10 out of 5 stars! Thank you, Syenna!”

“Kathryn took excellent care of my 3 cats who are difficult to care for. I can home to happy cats, clean food bowls, clean and full water fountains, and clean litter boxes”

About: I’ve had my maltipoo since 2020 and have taken care of dogs since then as well. I’m very organized and attentive to your animals needs! I just moved to Chicago so i have a lot of free time especially during the summer while i look for other jobs. I love having new energy around me at all times :) I have a very safe apartment complex with an enclosed backyard. Lots of toys for them as well to make them feel comfortable! I’m attentive and a very good listener to all of their needs

About: I have had a dog my whole life! I’m great with animals because I’m patient, caring, and responsible. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive to their needs and always make sure they have proper food, exercise, attention, and care. I’m currently working Mondays and Thursdays so I am available everyday except for that. Normally I have a very flexible schedule and am available at any time. I have been a nanny for the last three years so i’m comfortable with caring for pets in homes. I will pick up after animal on walks (if walks are needed). Make sure everything is locked behind me, and follow any other instructions you may have.

“Great house sitting our dog and keeping her company and comforted.”

About: What sets me apart is that I’m a veterinary technician, so I have professional experience caring for animals with a wide range of needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific care instructions, and recognizing potential warning signs of illness or changes in behavior that may need veterinary attention. I know how to assess a situation, monitor pets closely, and communicate with owners if I notice anything concerning. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies who need extra patience, consistency, supervision, and guidance as they learn routines. For senior pets, I understand that they may need a slower pace, extra attention, medication, or additional monitoring to keep them comfortable. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet wants lots of playtime and walks or prefers relaxing and cuddling, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a veterinary technician, I’m accustomed to caring for animals and making their health, safety, and well-being a priority. I’m available all day Sunday and Monday, and Tuesday through Saturday from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM. I can provide feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration, and attentive monitoring based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I follow feeding, walking, exercise, medication, and care instructions closely, while also providing plenty of attention and companionship. As a veterinary technician, I’m experienced with administering medications and monitoring pets for changes in behavior or potential signs of illness. I take their health and safety seriously and will communicate with the owner promptly if I notice anything concerning. I also make sure pets receive appropriate exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of love and attention. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home.

About: I’m really a dog lover and have always been around them. They’re kids honestly. Imagine a different one per day that’s amazing to me ! Recently moved to Illinois where I now work for Alter Domus, an investment firm in Downtown Chicago and it’s work from home. I have all the time in the world to watch them !! Love them and it’s definitely therapy to me also. Continuing what I started in Ohio with Rover here ! My neighborhood is full of dogs and grass for them to walk. It’s away from danger and quiet, there might be a friend outside too.

“Haley was amazing! She accommodated a last minute boarding for my two dogs and gave great updates all weekend. She did a great job and I would book again!”

About: I'm an interactive sitter that will care for your dog or cat like I did my own. I have over 5 yrs of personal experience caring for cats and had my 16yr old dog from puppy to passing. I also have experience with birds and small furry caged animals and fostered a guinea pig for over 4 months. I currently have flexible pickup/drop off times. I can walk dog(s) twice a day or just let them out in the yard if dog isnt active. I try my best to accommodate the feeding schedule the dog is already on. I have a secure outside play area but still check on dog or just stay and watch. As for sleeping or when I'm away arrangements, I have a large crate but don't require dogs that came together to be locked away if they get along. I also have secure room just for pets which can be seen in my pictures.

“Moria was awesome! We got a lot of pictures and they were clearly thoughtful and considerate of our space.”

“This was Olivia's second time dog / house sitting for us, and she one again did great. We really appreciated the regular updates she provided. She left the house in great shape, and our dog seemed happy when we returned. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Olivia again.”

About: I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and treat every pet as if they were my own. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, basic routines, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’m also continuing my education in animal health, behavior, biology, and marine biology, so caring for and understanding animals is something I’m truly passionate about. I currently have open availability and a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide walks, drop-ins, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your pet’s normal routine to make sure they receive consistent, dependable care. I live in an apartment, but your pet will still get plenty of exercise, attention, and enrichment. I’m happy to provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will always respect your space and follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide.

About: Ever since I was little I have loved dogs. Although I have my own dogs that I love so dearly I also love meeting and spending time with new dogs. It is so fun to get to meet new dogs and their personalities! I’m currently working as a substitute teacher and a hostess so on some days I will be available whenever but other times might be more constricted. As long as I know a bit beforehand I can usually make something work! During the weekends I am basically open despite when I am working at the restaurant. While caring for pets in my clients home I will be sure to follow all the rules and schedules that have been given to me. I will make sure that all pets are made to feel cared for to ease the absence of their owners.

About: In the few years I’ve been caring for various animals of my own and others, I feel I treat them as if they are my own human children. I see them as more than pets but companions that deserves a home away from home. I work from home most nights and have plenty of time to care and closely monitor your pets. Playtime is always a given with my own dogs as well I can ensure you that while your pets are in my possession, they are closely monitored and will be entertained. Like stated before I work from home most nights so I’m flexible to work and care at the same time
