“Sophia was able to take care of my 2 dogs on short notice. They aren't very friendly with new people but Sophia won them over. I will use her from now on when I have to be out of town.”

“Tia did such a great job taking care of our two cats during our vacation! We really appreciated her thoughtfulness in sending detailed report cards with every visit, and enjoyed the cute pictures that reassured us that our boys were happy and well cared for. Tia was conscientious in taking care of all the other little tasks like watering plants, filling the bird feeders, and cleaning up cat oopsies. It was great to come in the door upon our return after a long day of travel and having no issues to deal with! Would highly recommend Tia and we look forward to booking her for our next trip.”

About: I currently work as a ‘pet specialist’ in a pet store. I have lots of experience with different breeds,ages,and sizes of dogs. I am also experienced with caring for sick or recovering animals that are in need of specific medical attention along with administering medication. I have experience with reptiles, small animals such as ferrets or guinea pigs,birds,and cats as well. I’m more than willing to handle any task or behavioral specific need you have with any pet. Most importantly I promise to provide them with the best care, love, and playtime:) I currently work part-time, only a few days out of the week, so I will have lots of time to make sure your pet or pets receive all of the love and care they would get on any normal day:) In your home I would always approach the pet with caution and tenderness for any pets that may be timid or weary of new people. For pets that are high energy and outgoing they would receive the same back! With lots of love, playtime, and comfortability!

“Courtney is such a delight. She texted after booking and arranged a time to meet in person. I was able to introduce her to the dogs and show how to Bingo takes his pills. She texted an update with 3 pictures at every visit. I had her visit twice a day at specified time frames. I looked forward to her texts and was relieved and put at ease with each picture sent. I didn’t have to wonder if the dogs got fed while away. She checked on Bingo’s ear for me when requested and sent pic of his ear to help reassure me his infection hadn’t returned. She charmed my bossy, beautiful, bratty Yorkie!! I will NEVER kennel my dogs again. I strongly recommend Courtney!! I just hope she doesn’t get too popular that she is hard for me to book again. Thanks Courtney!!”

About: Animals are so unique. The way they play, eat and sleep, every animals deserves special, intentional care. I love being around animals of all kinds and want to make sure people feel at ease when they’re family need to leave their pets at home. My schedule is relatively consistent. I have availability all day on Fridays Saturdays and Sundays and my week nights are open for pet care as well. In a clients home, I am respectful of their home and their animals. I follow directions and will do what is necessary to keep everyone safe and comfortable.

“Kaeli was great! Super friendly and I really appreciated the quick turnaround for a meet and greet and first drop in visit. She left me a detailed message about the visit and pictures of our pup having a great time with her! We will definitely be rebooking!”

“Amara was very tentative to my pets and they really loved her. She was consistent, spent decent amount of time with them each visit and had great communication.”

“I would just like to say that Erica did a fantastic job caring for our two dogs while we were away for a weekend trip out of town. I was very impressed at how thorough and punctual Erica was for the drop in visits that she provided. The care notes, and pictures documenting each visit were very reassuring. I feel that Erica cared for our dogs as if they were her own. I will not hesitate to contact her again whenever we need someone to care for our dogs.”

About: I’ve been a dog person my whole life. I also have experience with birds, cats, and reptiles. Taking care of animals is something I love to do! I’m currently a student, and have a very flexible schedule. I can do early morning, midday, or later visits as well. Whatever fits your needs. Safety is very important to me. I have a pet bird and a dog of my own. Caution and care with animals is essential for everyone’s safety! I’d never want to put an animal in an unsafe situation.

About: I’m a pre-vet college student trying to get as much animal care hours as possible. I have experience working in clinics as well as local shelters. I can work with all animals big and small. Sweet and feisty. I’ve babysat both dogs and cats and have experience with giving meds. My time volunteering at shelters has given me the skills and patience to work with all types of animals. I’m currently a student but have plenty of time to squeeze in some cuddles and walks whenever I can. In free most of the time on weekends and don’t mind waking up early. I have lots of experience working with animals at my local shelter Naperville Area Humane Society and dog sitting and cat sitting for multiple family friends for the past years. I’m quick to respond on my availability and whether I can squeeze you in.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for 24 years I used to live on a farm and still to this day I watch animals any kind I love working with them and every time I see an animal on the street I always help them Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I enjoy spending time with animals. I make time each day for feeding, walking, play, and check-ins, while keeping a consistent schedule so pets feel safe and comfortable. On a weekly basis, I also handle tasks like grooming, cleaning up after pets, and giving them extra attention to make sure they’re happy and healthy.” In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and follow their normal routines. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention. In a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions to keep pets on their usual schedule. This can include feeding, walking, litter box cleaning, administering medication if needed, and giving plenty of love and companionship so pets feel secure even while their owners are away.”

“I have used Emily a few times and she is simply amazing! I can leave for the day and know that my big fur baby is well taken care of and makes my day away so much easier. I highly recommend her to anyone. She takes great care of my guy and sends pics on her visits. I can not thank her enough.”

“Juliet was absolutely WONDERFUL with my dog, Lucy! She took such great care of her, including administering medication carefully and responsibly, which gave me real peace of mind. Juliet also kept me updated with frequent messages and photos, so I always knew Lucy was happy and in good hands. She truly went above and beyond, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring dog lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all breeds and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more laid-back and cuddly, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, giving medications if needed, and sticking to any instructions that help keep your dog happy and stress-free. I understand how important routine and attention are, and I treat every dog like they’re my own! I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is to make sure your dog gets plenty of care, exercise, affection, and companionship while you’re gone. I’d love to meet you and your dog(s)! I'm a May 2026 Augie grad who is navigating my first full time job post grad, but with a pretty flexible schedule outside of that! I am free weekends at pretty much any time and Monday thru Friday after 4pm. I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and care based on their individual needs and energy levels. For cat sitting, I understand the importance of patience and creating a calm environment so cats can feel comfortable at their own pace while maintaining a clean litter box, offering attention (if wanted), and of course food/treats and water. I always follow owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, leash handling, litter box cleaning, and any special routines or preferences. Safety is very important to me, so I’m attentive during walks, careful with doors and gates, and always mindful of pets’ behavior and surroundings. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and in good hands while they’re away.

About: I have worked with pups and kittys since I was little, I have done puppy training all the way to taking care of senior pets. I have had much practice over the years with all of my own furry family members and now to having a few solid clients I service on a regular basis before even joining Rover. So I love taking care of folks furry family members including my own Doberman and my sisters cat while she's gone away at college. However I work for the government Tuesday - Saturday 10:30 a.m.-7p.m. so I can be there during the mornings and I can take care of them as soon as I get off work in the evenings for feedings, potty breaks, walks, etc. Unfortunately, I more than likely will not be able to do midday potty breaks so if you're someone who works from home and let's them out frequently it probably will not work out. But if they're used to being in during the day already from work schedules then it should be a perfect fit! I take care of my Doberman pup through trainings with positive reinforcement via toys and treats. I feed him every morning and evening, taking him on walks out in the woods and letting him run wild in our big back yard.

About: I have had cats, dogs, rabbits, mice, rats, fish, hermit crabs, tarantulas and many other types of pets of my own (cats and dogs my whole life) as well as cared for friends and family's pets since I was a little kid. I also volunteered at many local animal shelters in my late teens. I also have experience with different types of special needs animals; mostly cats in that aspect. (Paralyzed, deaf, blind, epileptic, diabetic and tri-pod) My daily and weekly schedule changes with my regular work schedule and my kids school schedule, but I am typically available during day time hours on weekdays, most likely at least one available night time drop-in available and can make myself available on Saturdays, if need be. Your pet will be more comfortable in an familiar environment such as their own home, so I would prefer to see them in their own home. I ask you leave a note somewhere prominent (i.e. kitchen table or counter) with quick point reminders of food/water bowl locations, food locations, treats, and any special reminders such as medications w/ times. I will take time to get to know your pet, play with them if they like or pets, loves snuggles... It's really all about what your pet wants/needs from me! I will also have my 17 year old daughter and/or my 12 year old daughter along to help care for your pet(s), if that's OK with you. Between the three of us we can run your whole zoo if you'd like!! We can do walkies for pets that need a little extra excersize. Shopping trips to pet-friendly local areas/shops/parks if wanted/permissible!

“Great sitter for our Rusty. Aimee goes above what is needed. It's obvious that Aimee has a true love for animals. We are so thankful that we finally found someone so trustworthy and perfect for our Rusty.”
