House Sitting in Deerfield

“Beth was wonderful. She took the time to meet our crew in advance, she stayed in touch while we were gone and was flexible when we unexpectedly had our trip delayed a day. We plan to reach out again for any future pet sitting needs!”

Jade D.

“Gabrielle was so helpful with my doggos! We had a pet emergency right before we left to go on an international trip and she was able to help give medicine and comfort. You can’t go wrong with Gabrielle!”

Emily S.

“Donna stepped in while we were away when our other ‘sitter’ had an issue and couldn’t stay with our 3 dogs for half of the week. Donna did a great job keeping the three girls happy and healthy while we were gone. She was very communicative and sent pictures almost every day. I was so relieved and very grateful to have found her.”

Ann & Jim U.

“Anna is an excellent pet sitter. She is responsible, compassionate, caring for our dog and takes wonderful pictures. Anna won’t hesitate to call or text you with any questions. She left our dog happy, home clean and us relaxed knowing our dog was well taken care of. Thank You”

Rebecca N.

“Lambo is a sweet and cuddly dog, but she can be a bit aggressive towards other dogs while walking, so we were a little stressed to leave her while away for a wedding. Michelle really put us at ease and made sure our Bo was happy and loved while we were away!”

Sophie G.

“Grace was great. Kept in touch with me during our time away and all was well when we returned. Our pup Pepper was in good hands! We will plan to use Grace in the future!”

Callie G.

“Ana took amazing care of our dogs while we were away on vacation. She was attentive to their needs, sent us updates with pictures each day, and took good care of our home as well. We will contact her for sitting needs again in the future for sure!”

Beverly P.

“Christina if fantastic! She took care of my pup like her was her own. She's a sweetheart and will give your fur family the best care. Absolutely will be booking her again and I would highly recommend her.”

“The week up to July 4 is probably the roughest time for our Emma…..Erica did a remarkable job caring and consoling during the random fireworks events that take place in the neighborhood..,, more than just a sitter… Erica became a friend ho our Emma thanks Erica”

John R.

“Yuliia was terrific with our very quirky, anxious rescue dog and with our sweet, easy dog. She was patient with the anxious guy and didn't give up on becoming his friend. We'd definitely recommend her!”

Amanda G.

“Judith and Cynthia did a great job looking after our two 'giant' dogs (St. Bernard & Mastiff) for a long weekend. They were prompt, sent out updates and pcitures every day, and generally made us feel comfortable that our pups were being well taken care of. This was our first foray into getting a Rover sitter, and while we were nervous, they made it less stressful.”

William L.

“Ryan was wonderful! Super responsive, sent pics of the babies, overall just went above and beyond! Our pups were probably sad to be stuck with us again after spending time with him ? Will definitely have him back!”

Ashley F.

“Amy was wonderful with our old husky. We loved getting daily dog pictures and videos from Amy while she stayed at our home for the week. She left the house spotless and we are so grateful for her care of both our dog and home. Absolutely recommend Amy!”

Sarah S.

“Julie took amazing care of my dog! My dog is reactive to other dogs so choosing the right sitter to stay with her and take her on walks was important! Julie took lots of pictures and gave me a thorough summary each day, which helped me feel reassured while I was away!”

About: I have had since I was 9, most specifically dogs. I come from a very animal oriented family, my grandparents working on a forest preserve and raising butterflies. My mom has raised me to save animals as well, which is why we always adopt our animals (and care for those that happen upon us wildly with the help of animal control). We have had an aquarium and axolotls for 6-7 years, naming all of them as they are part of our family too, no matter how small. I have had 5 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, 2 hamsters, 1 bird, and 1 African fat-tailed gecko. At the moment we have one dog, Pib, who is 40 Ibs of love. I have also pet sat for guinea pigs and dogs, as well as done dog walking during my semester at Columbia. I have great experience with bigger dogs especially, having a 120 dog just two years ago, Toby. I take care and time with every animal, making sure to interact and treat them with respect as they deserve. I adore spending time and taking care, cleaning up, playing, walking, feeding, and doing special care as well for certain needs. I am currently a part time worker as a youth services assistant at the Northbrook Public Library. I work 1-6 Thursdays and Fridays, and 1-5 the rest of the days. I am off weekends. As stated above, no matter the pets temperament, I treat them with respect. While I love playing and getting to know all animals, I understand some pets prefer their personal space and time, so I understand how to navigate and take my time/step away if need be. I always make sure if the animal is an out of cage pet to make sure they use the bathroom first before anything else, and if any accidents happen I am sure to clean up. I provide all love to every type of pet, whether they love ito nteract or are more individual and just need to be fed and let out. Matching an animal's energy and making them comfortable is the best way to take care of them and work with them!

“Sarah looked after our two cats for a week while we were away and housesat for us, so our animals wouldn't be too lonely while we were gone. One of our felines must be medicated twice a day at very specific times to avoid medical complications. Not only is Sarah confident and comfortable giving our cat his meds, she is prompt and careful when administering his twice daily pills. Knowing that made us very comfortable while we were away. In addition, Sarah's communication style was straightforward and thoughtful. She asked excellent questions and follow-up questions. And when there was an unexpected situation at our house while we were away, she handled it professionally and alerted us to what was happening. I'd highly recommend Sarah to manage petsitting and housesitting.”

“I am so very grateful that I found Tammy on rover.com because she is the perfect pet sitter. I highly recommend her!!! She was affectionate and gentle as she cared for my 15-year-old special needs dog. I felt 100% comfortable with Tammy caring for my dog while I was away on vacation. Tammy has decades of excellent experience with dogs and cats, and she herself is 100% reliable, trustworthy, skilled at problem solving, and has a great understanding of pet behavior, needs, nutrition, meds, etc. Tammy provided frequent texts and detailed reports on my dog's behavior, and she even helped my husband's aunt pull weeds out in our yard. Tammy goes above and beyond the call of duty and exceeded my expectations. I recommend that you make Tammy your first choice when looking for a great pet sitter. I'm sure you will be delighted with Tammy's wonderful care for your precious pet.”

“Jocelyn did a great job with Louie! We would love to have her back and would recommend her services”

About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs and have over 30 years of experience caring for them, so being with animals has always felt natural to me. I’ve looked after everything from playful puppies to gentle senior dogs who need extra patience and support. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, and I especially love going on long walks together—it’s one of the best ways to bond and keep them happy. What makes me different is how much I care—I follow their routines closely and make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at home while you’re away. After years in a fast-paced office role, I’m taking a break to reset and refocus after some of life’s unexpected turns. During this time, I’ve chosen to do what brings me the most peace and joy—spending time with animals. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine now, and I’m grateful to have the flexibility to give each dog my full attention, whether it’s for daily walks, playtime, or quiet companionship. This isn’t just a side gig—it’s something that truly fills my days with meaning and calm. When caring for pets in their own homes, I do everything I can to keep their routine familiar and stress-free. I pay close attention to their needs, respect their space, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions closely because I understand the importance of those details. I treat your home with the same respect and care I give your pet, and I always aim to build trust with both of you from day one.

“Very kind and professional. Made my first Rover experience stress free and the dogs loved her.”
