About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own three dogs, including two Mastiffs and one Maltese. Caring for dogs with such different sizes, personalities, and needs has taught me how to adapt to each pet’s unique routine and temperament. From daily walks, feeding, grooming, playtime, and basic training to providing lots of love and attention, I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for pets. Friends and family have also trusted me to watch their pets, and I always treat every animal as if they were my own. As a nursing student with a strict schedule, I plan my time carefully to ensure pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. Whether your pet needs playtime, exercise, feeding, or companionship, I will make sure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away. As the owner of two Mastiffs and a Maltese, I am comfortable handling both large and small breeds. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, monitoring behavior, and creating a safe environment for every pet. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and special needs. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away.
“Megan is great! She is awesome with our big guy Moose. We have used her several times while out of town and I know he’s in good hands with her services. She’s prompt for drop ins, sends detailed messages and genuinely cares for our pet! I would definitely recommend her and we will be using her again!”
About: My natural patience and lifelong love for dogs allow me to quickly build a bond of trust with any pet I watch. I’m not just there to provide snuggles and food and walks; I’m there to give them genuine companionship and ensure they feel secure and cherished in our home. I work from home and spend most days at home working. I love having a "desk buddy" and a dog walk is a great way to break up the day, Your pup will have constant supervision! I have a large yard that is fenced in. I love to take frequent walks to burn off that excess energy. I have multiple dog beds, cozy blankets, and plenty of toys!
“Lauren gets 5 stars for her dog sitting for many reasons. She was at all of her drop in visits on time, spent quality time with my dog, & sent great updates with pictures!! I highly recommend Lauren because she was very trustworthy, and she understood my dog’s needs.”
About: I've owned and taken care of all kinds of animals since I was a little girl. From birds, to cats and dogs, to horses, and even snakes, big or small I love em all! I'm a travel bartender that works different music festivals all across the country. Now that season has come to a close, I couldn't think of a better way to fill my newly empty schedule than caring for your furry loved ones! I have one cat and one dog who is kennel trained. I walk my dog a minimum of twice a day in my quaint suburban neighborhood and my cat is very good with other animals.
About: Hello, I have been pet sitting and dog walking since childhood. In my current home, I am not allowed to have pets, and I am really missing spending time with and caring for animals. I am so excited to play, walk, and care for your pet! :) I work full‑time, but I’m remote three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop‑ins, and consistent check‑ins throughout the day. I’m also available many weekends for pet care. Daily walks are already part of my routine, often more than once, so incorporating a furry companion into that rhythm feels natural. Whether it’s morning potty breaks, midday enrichment, or evening exercise, I make sure pets get reliable attention and a steady routine that keeps them comfortable and cared for. I pay close attention to detail and am naturally hypervigilant, which means your pet’s safety is always top of mind. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I maintain a calm, structured environment, follow your routines closely, and keep a close eye on their behavior and comfort. I’m intentional about creating a safe, clean, and low‑stress space so your pet feels secure, understood, and well cared for every step of the way.
“Grace did an amazing job watching my two dogs. We’ve already had her watch them twice. She kept me updated the entire time on how they were doing. I’ll definitely reach out to her again the next time I need someone to take great care of my boys.”
“Stephanie is so great! She’s prompt, communicates well, and most of all loves my pups. She took great care of them and sent lots of pics. You can’t put a price on trust and kindness and Stephanie is above and beyond!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and truly treat every dog as if they were my own. I’ve raised and trained my Akita Inu from puppyhood and lovingly cared for my Jack Russell through their senior years. I’m comfortable with puppies, energetic dogs, and seniors, and I focus on calm, patient care that helps dogs feel safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because I’m free all day, every day. This allows me to give pets my full attention without rushing or juggling other commitments. I’m able to follow your dog’s normal routine closely, whether that means regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, training reinforcement, or quiet companionship. Because my schedule is flexible, I can easily adjust to puppies who need more frequent care, senior dogs who move at a slower pace, or pets who simply enjoy company throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping everything familiar and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s routine, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of attention and reassurance. For dog walks in my neighborhood or yours, I use calm, confident handling and always prioritize safety. Walks are structured but enjoyable, tailored to your dog’s energy level, age, and comfort. I reinforce good leash manners, stay aware of surroundings, and make sure each walk is both stimulating and relaxing for your dog.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a little girl and currently I work at the Happy Dog Barkery in DG and love it. I would love to work more one-on-one with individual dogs, however, and walk or spend time on a play date with them. I am a retired teacher. I take classes at COD on Mon from 12-5, Tues I work at Happy Dog Barkery from 1-6:30 and Wed I go to class at COD from 9-2:50. Thursday and Friday I am free but I can work in a walk or a visit with your dog(s). I am happy to see your dog in your own home so your dog does not have to leave his own happy environment. I am responsible and organized and will make sure the house is locked and everything is as it should be before I leave.
“Elena went over and beyond when taking care of Poncho. She sent many pictures and filled me in the whole time. I would highly recommend her to watch anyone’s dog and will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I’ve boarded two dogs before at my own place and I have cat sat at a few owners houses before. I’m responsible and will communicate when I check in on your loved pets. As tax, I will always send a photo of your pet as well every time I check in on them and truly enjoy spending some playtime with them as well. I live by a little lake that’s great for walks too! I currently have a full time job but I am flexible for both before and after work to make time to care for your furry family members. I’m willing to move my furniture around to fit your pets crate, food & water bowl. My couch and bed are open for cuddles if you allow your pet bed/couch time but can reinforce it’s not okay while on vacation if you don’t. I let the pets enjoy a Netflix experience by putting on YouTube videos of animal footage they might enjoy.
“Ann took great care of my two mini dachshunds Baron and Rusty. She was not only punctual and reliable, but my boys really enjoyed her visits. Will definitely book again when I have need of her services!”
About: I have volunteered at Animal Protective League for nearly 12 years. I am a lover of all animals big and small. Several family members have relied on me to care for their dogs and other pets during that time. Most of my experience is centered around cats as I foster kittens for my local animal shelter, but I did grow up with several dogs. I may not have a dog now, but I will do my best to care for each and every fur-baby that I meet. I am partially employed to a small business that gives me work opportunities when they need extra help. Unfortunately those opportunities are mostly seasonal so I won't receive any work until spring (if COVID doesn't get any worse). They do let me know if they need me several weeks in advance, and my open schedule can be adjusted accordingly if I am given a regulated schedule by someone who wants me to regularly walk/check in with their pet during the day. I have experience house-sitting and caring for my employer's animals. I make a daily schedule for my duties and keep in touch with my employer's in case that schedule changes or if I have any questions/comments about
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and currently help care for a French Bulldog, so I’m used to daily walks, feeding, and just keeping them happy and comfortable. I really enjoy being around dogs and getting to know their personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and will treat your dog like my own while you’re away. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on what you need. I can work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. I’m also available on weekends for walks or drop-ins, so I can be there when it’s most convenient for you. I always try to make pets feel comfortable and at home, whether I’m in your space or mine. I pay attention to their behavior and needs so they feel safe and relaxed. I’ll stick to your routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, and anything specific your pet needs. I’m patient, gentle, and make sure they’re getting the care and attention they deserve.
Clarendon Hills dog parents share their Rover experiences
John is the best pet sitter we have had for Maxx. He is reliable, honest, friendly and great communicator. We could not have found a best sitter for drop in visits when we both have to go to work. He responds very promptly about inquiries and … our dog Maxx loves him already!
Evan – A Truly Exceptional Pet Sitter Evan is the best pet sitter I’ve ever worked with. I’ve had many pet sitters and boarding places. She’s been the best & feel the safest leaving my fur babies in her care! Her type of attentiveness and care is rare. She’s taken care of my elderly dog who had medical issues and cat twice now while I was away on vacation, and every time they see her, they get excited. They don’t trust just anyone and neither do I but Evan has earned that trust completely. My dog has a history of abuse and he trusts her completely because she is so gentle with him. Every visit is thoughtful and thorough. She sends multiple pictures and detailed updates about everything: meals, water breaks, potty time, and cuddles. I always looked forward reading the drop-ins. She’s always early, stays the full time, and brings a warm, friendly energy that both pets and me. Before initially hiring her, I virtually interviewed three other Pet Sitter’s and I felt like she was the best out of all of them in the area. I’m thankful I found her. Evan is kind, and reliable! She’s helped with clean up with my cat, when my dog had missed his puppy pad, and did trash removal. I feel completely at ease leaving my pets in her care, and I’ll absolutely continue to use her services. Highly recommend Evan to anyone who wants peace of mind and happy pets! I do admit I have high standards and she naturally meets them.
Kathryn was fantastic! She was able to come and do a drop-in visit with a few days notice and made us feel very comfortable with the plan to check in on Grover :) She followed all instructions and made sure Grover was a very happy pup :) 10 out of 10 would recommend Kathryn to everyone!
