House Sitting in Dunning, Chicago, IL

“Ray was great! He sent lots of pictures and updates and consulted me on pretty much everything I hadn't left instructions for. Also, he was very accommodating when I booked him for the wrong dates initially and had to switch things up while I was on my trip. I will definitely book Ray again if I need another house sitter or dog walker.”

“Our pup loves Coleen. When we get home from a trip he isn't stressed out and he's a happy old boy. We appreciate her being so communicative. I highly recommend her.”

“Our dogs love Andrea so much! She takes such good care of them when we're gone. She's the best! We will always want Andrea to watch our boys for us every time we go on a trip!”

“Hanna is fantastic! She took such good care of our two dogs and our home while we were away. She is very communicative and sent us photos and messages with updates every day. We've already booked a second dog/house sit with her for a few weeks out!”

“Monica was so wonderful! I appreciated the photos and updates when my cat was given her medicine. She treated all my pets so well. I wasn’t stressed at all during my trip for once. Definitely will book with her the next time I take a trip!!”

“Stephanie is simply amazing. Our pups love her and she is so easy to work with, she’s great. Once we start planning a trip one of our first moves is to make sure Stephanie can house sit and pup sit our two pooches and once we know she’s able to, our trip planning always gets so much easier. Stephanie is a really hard worker and is often busy working, but when she’s staying with our pups she ALWAYS make sure she has quality time for our doggos and when we are out of town and she’s with our pups she gives us regular updates on how they’re doing, which are always very appreciated.”

“Anna was sweet and kind. She stopped by for a house visit, do a meet-and-greet, and chat. She was absolutely the right person and will use her again. She kept in touch, sent photos, asked questions if she needed anything, which was rare because she had everything absolutely under control. Do not hesitate to hire Anna!”

“Jo is just a great person. Period. She always goes above and beyond in caring for and entertaining our dogs, whether it’s bringing over her best enrichment toys or finding our dog’s favorite Real Housewives franchise to watch together. For this house sitting, Jo watched our newer puppy for the first time. He can be vocally reactive on walks and has some unique methods for managing his behavior. For Jo, it was no sweat. And during this house stay, my husband and I happened to be in Puerto Vallarta during the recent cartel rampage. Not only did Jo make sure that our doggos would be cared for regardless of when we made it back to the States, but she also made a genuine effort to check in on our general well-being. Like I said, she’s just a great person.”

“Mirela, is awesome. She made an immediate bond with my lab at first meeting. Her communication is great (lots of pics and texts), the place was cleaner than when I left it, she responsible and has lots of positive energy. 5 stars!”

“Renee house-sat for us and was great! She was very respectful of our home, and sent lots of photos and videos. But most importantly, our pets really loved her. She is very attuned to animals and their needs ❤️”

About: I have had a dog in the house since I was born. I started helping out with the caring for them at around 10 and have done so ever since. I have a Jack-Russel and Chihuahua mix. She is a very shy dog and we have had to do a lot of training with her so I understand how to handle shy dogs. I know that dogs do enjoy being off leash so I would try to incorporate that into a walk if a long one is needed. Such as a large park or a fenced in one. For drop in visits I would stay for a long enough time to make your pet feel at ease, but not too long as to overstay my welcome.

“First time using Rover and we blown away with the love and care that Stephanie gave to our girls! The dogs were so happy and well cared for, and so was our home. I honestly believe the home looked better when we came home, than how we left it! I highly recommend her services - we will definitely use her again!!!”

“Josephine was amazing! She took the job last minute and was so easy to communicate with. Our cats were very well taken care of and the house was spotless when we came home! We would definitely love to have Josephine cat sit for us again:)”

Charlotte P.

“Highly recommended! Ashley took amazing care of our fur baby and our home. She communicated with us daily through text and photos. We will definitely be calling Ashley again!”

“Cheryl was on standby for a week but I was impressed that she was very interested in every aspect of my cats health, her feeding and play. She also spent the time to learn any issues in my apartment. I would definitely hire her again.”

“Perniall did great with our girls. It took no time at all for him to befriend our chronically suspicious chihuahua. He was diligent and really paid attention to our pups, getting to know their quirks - it was clear he was truly present with them and not just running through a checklist. He gave us helpful feedback, aiding in elucidating some blind spots we've had as parents. Specifically, he gave us some suggestions to get our big girl to slow down while eating to improve her postprandial comfort. He was in regular contact during our absence, giving us space but always ready to attend to our anxious requests for photos and updates. The dishes are all done and the place looks maybe better than we left it. Thank you, Perniall! I would recommend him to anyone looking for good hands to trust their beloved babies with.”

“Nicholas did an excellent job with our two dogs! He was very responsible and communicated frequently. We’ve already rebooked him for next month!”

About: Hi there! My name is Nicky (he/they) and I’ve been taking care of pets for my neighbors, friends, and family members for upwards of a decade and am commonly regarded as the go-to sitter in my community. I strive to treat every pet (and owner) with the utmost respect and kindness, and I’ll follow your instructions to a T! (The T stands for toe beans 🤓) Currently unemployed due to layoffs in my industry, so I’ll be able to give your fur bestie as much attention as possible! I can do overnights, multiple nights in a row, or just a drop-in/walk; whatever you need - I got you! :) I have a fenced yard in front of my apartment complex so your fur bestie can run free and tire themselves out before beddybye! I can crate your pup if you provide one or they can get some shut-eye on the couch or wherever they’re comfy!

About: I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs through daily walks, drop-ins, and longer stays — from high-energy breeds to shy or anxious pups who need a softer approach. I’m very attentive to details, routines, and behavior changes, and I always make sure each dog feels safe and understood. My weekly routine is very flexible, which makes pet care easy to build around. I split my time between volunteer work, errands, and studying at the library, and I schedule those things around my pet visits. Because of that flexibility, I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks. When I’m doing dog-sitting, I structure my day around the dog’s routine — feeding, bathroom breaks, playtime, and whatever helps them feel comfortable. I’m used to adjusting my schedule so pets get the consistency and care they’re used to. Their routine becomes my routine. I follow the pet’s routine exactly as the owner lays it out. Every dog is different, so I match their needs — feeding schedule, walk times, bathroom breaks, and any special instructions. I keep the home clean, make sure doors and crates are secured, and always double-check leashes, harnesses, and gates before we go out. I pay close attention to behavior and energy levels, especially with anxious dogs or seniors, and I give them plenty of reassurance and calm company. I send updates and photos during each visit so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away. My goal is to make the pet feel safe in their own space and keep everything running smoothly until their family comes home.
