“I’ve had Neal pet sit my cat and dog twice. He was wonderful both times providing updates and pictures regularly. Neal was also respective of my home. I will happily request his services in the future.”

“Kelso was great watching my 12-week old puppy for the day! I was worried because it was our first time leaving him with a sitter, and Kelso rally put us at ease and took great care of him. Would recommend and use again for sure!”

About: I’ve lived with dogs my entire life. Everything from labs, adopted mutts, terriers, vizslas, poodles, goldendoodles, big, medium, and small. I have yet to meet a breed that I can't whisper to. While my profile on Rover is new, I have been walking and house-sitting dogs on the side for years, for neighbors in the area and a small network of family friends I've kept up since middle school. Additionally, I am a serious runner and regularly put in 20-30 miles a week. If you have a Vizsla, Greyhound, Weimaraner, or any other high-energy breed that needs a run to blow off some steam, please reach out! I’d love to take them out with me on the trails. Primarily, I serve the West Suburbs, West Loop, and North Side neighborhoods; I currently reside in the Oak Park area, and attend the UIC campus on Harrison and Halsted. Please note: To ensure the absolute best and safest care for your pup, I do require a quick Meet & Greet before accepting any first-time bookings Looking forward to hearing from you. I am currently in summer school at UIC, and will be in class from 8am to noon on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so your dog would be alone for about 4 hours on those days. Before I leave, they will get a good walk, and when I'm back they'll spend the rest of the day with me doing homework, tutoring, or getting outside for a walk or run. I always treat every dog like my own. I make sure they are secure, comfortable, get all the pets and treats they need, and are never alone longer than necessary. You will also receive daily updates along the way, so you'll always know how they're doing.

“Emmalyn was great, she made us feel so comfortable traveling knowing our dogs were so well cared for! She sent so many good pictures and left our place nice and tidy for our return. She was good with the dogs and we could tell they didn’t feel stress in our absence.”

“Milagros did a good job taking care of our dogs while we were away. She was reliable, communicated well, sent photos, and made sure they were well fed and walked.”

“We’ve used Sarah twice now, and she has taken wonderful care of our boys both times. Trusting someone with your home and pets isn’t easy, but Sarah is reliable, caring, communicative and we highly recommend her!! We’ve come home to a clean house and happy pets each time :) Thank you Sarah!”

“Faith did a fantastic job! She was quick to respond, sent us lots of photos of our dogs while we were away, and handled some issues with frozen pipes while we were out of state. We would absolutely use her again in the future!”

“Perniall did a great job taking care of Miss Bean. He was attentive to her special needs and followed her care instructions closely, which really helped me feel at ease while I was away. I appreciated the updates and the thoughtful attention he gave her. I’d definitely recommend him, especially for pets who need a little extra care.”

“Zoe, was very attentive to our dog. From the photos she sent, we could tell our dog was very happy with her. Zoe was professional and left our home as clean as she found it. I highly recommend her.”

“Fiona was absolutely amazing! She took such good care of my dog and catered to his needs and schedule. She was very responsive, easy to work with, and left the apartment tidy. Highly recommend!”

“We have used Jessica multiple times including an overnight in our home. She is professional, trustworthy, takes wonderful care of our Coco, and is a great communicator with wonderful updates while we are away.”

“Carolina did an incredible job watching Bruce for 5 days. She sent multiple daily updates including pictures. My dog was searching for her once she was gone! She left our home so clean and was very considerate of our space. We will absolutely rebook Carolina!”

“Ray was fantastic! He stayed with my two dogs for 11 days while I was out of the country. He sent lots of videos, photos and updates so I wouldn’t miss them too much. And they hardly missed me at all, as he took them on lots of walks, and had a bunch of play time! I think they are looking forward to me leaving today again so their good friend Ray can come back to stay!”

“Bethany blows all of my past sitters out of the water. She was so attentive and helpful. She sent lots of photos and was very communicative. I felt totally relaxed while I was a way and trusting my pup was in good hands.”

“Chris was able to last minute watch my dog for 2 full weeks over the Christmas/New Years holiday. He made leaving her so much easier as I didn’t have to worry if she was being taken care of or not. Would 100% use again!”

“Molly did a fantastic job with my dog Sammy! He can be a bit sad and anxious when I leave home, but she made him comfortable and gave him lots of snuggles. Molly sent lots of pics during her stay and left my house tidy. Would highly recommend her for house sitting your pup!”

“Had a great experience with Tammy, who provided in-home dog-sitting for our two dogs while we were away for a couple of weeks. She was kind, professional, communicative, and took very good care of the fur babies. We returned to a tidy house and a couple of happy, healthy doggos. Will definitely ask her to sit for us again, and would recommend her to others!”

“Gabriela was absolutely lovely! She was very communicative with updates, photos and videos to let me know that the kitties were doing well and medication was administered.”

“Dom was great! The animals warmed up to her quickly and she sent great updates. We appreciated her thoughtful care and would definitely ask her to pet sit again!”

“We were gone a week and knew our Marley and house were in great hands. We have had Callie come see our baby several times before and this time house sit and we don't want to have anyone else take care of her. Our house was well taken care of and my girl is happy, what else could we ask for. I am a hover Mom and Callie just rolled with it and let me know she was doing fine and sent pics and I was able to relax. We can't thank you enough. Callie.”

Janelle was a great house sitter! Responsive to requests, sent pictures, and left the place as clean as when we departed. Cleaned litters thoroughly and took out the trash down a three story walk up and through the coach house behind us. Very friendly and easy to communicate with. We have four animals to wrangle, all with specific needs. When we came home it was obvious all our animals were well treated.

Kirsten was absolutely awesome! We needed a sitter for an extended time as we were on vacation for about a week and a half, and we got updates and adorable photos every day. Kirsten was great at administering Skippy's medication and helping him with his mobility issues (he's a senior, tripawd pup.) It was clear Skippy got comfortable with her very quickly, and Kirsten also provided comfort to him during the bane of every dog owner's summer...the fireworks during 4th of July. We came home to a happy dog and a very clean house! Highly recommend...thanks so much for treating Skippy like your own, Kirsten!

Maya was amazing with Lobo; I wish she wasn't moving because he really seemed to enjoy her. He was so mad when she left, and he wanted her to come back. She went out of her way to make him comfortable and got him through the Fourth of July. He is a needy guy, so I am super grateful that Maya was able to handle his neediness and give him the love he needs. She left the place super clean and sent me tons of photos and videos of Lobo (which kept me at ease). She even bought him treats :) Thank you, Maya!!

Em was wonderful with our boys! She sent plenty of pictures and updates, and was very communicative throughout her stay. Our dog can be anxious and he absolutely loved spending time with Em. We could tell how attentive and caring she was by how much our boys loved to snuggle with her. We are so glad we’ve found her and have already lined up future bookings!

Caline is so great!! We came home to a very happy dog after Caline spent a long holiday weekend with her. She was reliable and frequently shared updates/phots. She was also very patient with our energetic and overly affectionate dog. Would absolutely recommend Caline as a sitter, and we plan to reach out to her again in the future.

Nya truly is the best of the best! This was her second time watching our cat, Cowboy, and far from the last. Nya always sends detailed updates in the morning and night about Cowboy, along with tons of photos. She left our home spotless, where it looked cleaner than when we left! Cowboy loves her and we never are worried about him when he’s with her. We love Nya and would recommend her to anyone!

Dora watched my 2 dogs for a night on relatively short notice. She was communicative from the first message, and flexible with squeezing in a meet & greet with the dogs and me prior. I can tell they were comfy in Dora’s care and would absolutely book a housesitting or other dog care service again!

Kexin was absolutely wonderful with Waffles! From start to finish, I felt completely at ease knowing Waffles was in such great hands. Kexin was incredibly attentive, kept me updated, and truly treated Waffles like family. Waffles came home happy, healthy, and completely relaxed. I highly recommend Kexin to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter, and we will definitely be booking again!

Nicole is a SUPERSTAR sitter. You can tell she is a true animal lover. She took such good care of my cat Nora and calmed my anxiety with frequent updates and pictures! I felt so relieved knowing she was at my home with Nora and I could relax on my vacation. I have already booked Nicole again for a future trip, and I highly recommend using her as a sitter for all your pet needs!
