“Venus and Keaton were AMAZING! Monte is a 5 month old puppy, so he has a lot of energy, but they took great care of him for the week. Every time we walked up to the door, Monte's tail would not stop wagging. They really made Monte feel at home!”


“My dog Hippie gets so excited when he gets to see David and his furry friends. David has a big yard for the dogs to run around. He took care of Hippie very well, I can always trust and rely on David for a fun and safe stay for my doggy.”


“Karissa is awesome. My Stu has so much fun and I love the photos and updates she shares. Any pup would be lucky to spend some time with Karissa, her people and fur family. Glad I found her!”


“Paulina and her family did a great job with our pug! This was the first time we used the app to find a dog sitter, but this was a great experience. Paulina sent me lots of photos and videos of my dog all day and I could tell my dog was having lots of fun. Lots of tail wags. She has a nice yard too for dogs. I would definitely have her watch my dog again.”


“Danielle was so flexible, responsive and accommodating to my changing plans. And most importantly, my Ava had an absolute blast! Such a comforting feeling to know she’s being so well taken care of. Will definitely rebook. Thanks again!”


About: I grew up with animals around me at all times! I’ve cared for animals at all stages of their lives from 0-15. I have also cared for multiple animals at once. I am currently working part time so your pet will be well taken care of! I am available for boarding everyday of the week and can board for multiple nights in a row. Doggy daycare can also be everyday! Providing top notch care is always my first priority! I have two other animals including a turtle and rabbit but they are both caged and will not interact with your pet. Dogs are allowed on furniture and will have plenty of room to roam. Walk duration and frequency can change depending on the pet’s needs.

About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I have over 30 years of experience providing attentive, loving, and reliable pet care for all kinds of animals, from playful puppies to wise senior pets. What sets me apart is the calm, intuitive approach I bring to each animal's unique personality and needs. I have hands-on experience with: Puppy training – including basic commands, crate training, and leash manners. Senior pet care – gentle handling, administering medications, and understanding mobility or dietary needs. High-energy breeds – I know how to keep them mentally and physically engaged. Shy or rescue animals – I give them the time and space to feel safe and comfortable. Beyond just feeding and walking, I prioritize emotional well-being. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, belly rubs, or just a calm presence, I’m here to provide consistent and loving care—like you never left. If you're looking for someone who treats your pet like family and pays attention to every little detail, I’d love to help. I am an entrepreneur, I make my own schedule and I work from home. I am available anytime 7 days a week, 24 hours a day to take care of your pet. I have a fenced in yard for your dog to run and play safely outside. I have a large indoor dog kennel inside the den of our home that is cool in the summer, it is climate controlled with Heat and AC. I also have a large Dog crate available if your dog prefers a cozier private place to rest. Of course your dog will be allowed to enjoy our home freely with supervision. I know every dog is different, and I will do my best to accommodate their needs. I have a very friendly and social German Shepherd named Duke who would love to meet any play with your dog if allowed.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and I’m one of those people that dogs like right away- even unfriendly dogs! I work from home a lot and make my own schedule for work, so I can easily keep your pupp entertained. I live alone and my dog is currently with my ex out of state, but I’m considering bringing him here. I have a truck and can take your dog on hikes and to dog parks if you’d like. I’m at home at least half the time and when I leave for work, it’s only for a few hours at the most. Having a dog around will keep me active and won’t hinder my work at all. My apartment has a dog park and I love going on long walks already around Elmhurst. I’d also love to drive the dog to dog parks or hiking trails. I have an 8 year old hound dog. He’s very friendly, well trained, 8 years old, and loves playing with dogs.

“Mark and his family were wonderful with Boomer while we attended a work event. From the start, they were friendly and communicative. Boomer settled in quickly and came back relaxed and happy. We’re grateful for the care and attention they gave him as we highly recommend Mark to anyone needing a reliable sitter.”


About: My husband and I have both had dogs our entire life. We now have a 9 year old pointer mix who loves a friend every now and then. We have a fully fenced very large back yard for running around. We have food bowls and a crate. We will mainly care for dogs on the weekends when we are home. We usually do a long morning walk as a family. We spend a lot of time outside and almost always have our dog with us. Yours will fit right in and enjoy a lot of play time! We have a large fenced in yard, another sweet dog to play with and a crate if needed or preferred! We have multiple dog begs and welcome any security items form home.

About: I worked at a doggy daycare/boarding for a year. I have experience with all different breeds of dogs. I have a flexible schedule and I’m willing to work with your busy schedule. I have some experience with animals on medications. I’m organized and always on time. You can always depend on me to make sure your furry friend is always taken care of. I’ll make sure to send you updates about your dog. I’ll make sure your dog has let out some pent up energy. I’m super playful and loving with all dogs and will give them extra love for you. I love all animals and I can’t wait to meet yours! I work full time remotely so I have time to be with your family member all the time if needed. I work 8-4 where it’s flexible timing. I believe all animals deserve love and affection. I’m patient if your furry friend needs more time to warm up to me or if they need space. I live in an animal friendly apartment complex with plenty of open grass and a playground down the street that your pet will enjoy.

About: I started caring for my neighbor's cat when I was in my teens. As I got older, I would dogsit for family members, neighbor's, and coworkers! I currently work from home part time and have flexibility to drop in and care for your pet, whether it be for a walk or a game of fetch or tug of war! My 2 dogs at home have a fenced yard and one is crated at night. I have experience with them at dog parks, and even breaking up dog fights! I will handle your pets as instructed.


About: I am great with dogs! I love them and they love me! I was the type of child that would rescue animals. I will send you texts with photos. I will keep your pet happy and safe while in my care. I have watched other dogs and grew up with them always in the house. While providing full-time care, I will be actively engaged in your pet's care. When I dog sit, the dogs I care for frequently rest by me feet, just because they like to be near me. I try to create a peaceful, fun and happy environment for my special friends to help them cope with the separation from their loved ones. I look forward to taking care of your furry friends!!!

About: Hi Pet Parents! My husband’s “cat and certain dogs” allergy has evolved into a full blown, dangerous asthma situation with all fur babies. (Yes, he’s tried the inhalers, etc). It has become painfully clear, having pets with dander in our home is impossible. I DO love my husband, but I miss having fur babies around! As someone who has so much LOVE for and experience with animals, I have always helped others with their pets. It was a JOY to me even when I had pets of my own! I have found myself offering to walk friends’ dogs because I miss my own. It suddenly hit me I should sign up with Rover, so I can spend some time with pets looking for attention while their people are out. I have always had four-legged fur pets, but also fish, frogs and lizards and more. I have saved baby birds, random stray, sick and/or injured animals and have domesticated several feral cats. My interest in and care for all animals is constant. I am a Registered Nurse for humans, so I have extra knowledge, comfort and comprehension regarding medications. Between being an RN and a MOM, I’ve got the bases covered on attention to details, noticing subtle changes in pet’s behaviors and the art of double/triple checking things. While my motivation to sign up with Rover was my love for animals and a sincere selfish need to love some dogs and cats, my resume has me very prepared to manage my business and communications professionally. I have also hired sitters for my own pets during travel or long work days and know the awkward discomfort about having someone in my home and/or taking my pet somewhere. “Will they be as careful as I am so my cat doesn’t escape when they open the door?” Or “will they pay attention on the walk with other pets or kids are around? What if my dog gets away because they’re not being careful?” Or, as a former owner of a dog with a sensitive tummy, “do they get it that she CAN’T EAT ANYTHING on their walk - will they pay close enough attention?” Pet care can be a worry to distraction, when you could feel so at ease you actually forget someone else is coming in! When time allows, please tell me your typical routine and commands used, if your dog has allergies, takes medications, an injury, personality triggers. We will talk about whatever is specific to your fur family member, so I can provide the very best experience possible for both of you. In the case of an emergency or special circumstance when the luxury of time is not there to discuss details, you need a sitter who feels comfortable stepping in with your pet and caring for them with love, respect and confidence in your absence. I am your person! Whether your fur family members are dogs or cats, I will love them as my own. I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your pets! *Please Note* my children are 7 and 9 years old. They LOVE animals. Your pets will be loved and very well socialized by them, which is a bonus for most. That said, many pups are not at all interested in kids or the noise that they bring. If your pup just does not enjoy kids, this Doggy Day Care location would not be a comfortable fit for them. If your young puppy needs the socialization, we’ve got you covered! Due to my husband’s allergies, we cannot book overnights.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, animals of all kinds ever since I can remember. I was a dependent reliable pet sitter to family members and friends whenever they needed a trustworthy individual to care for their little rascal. We have a 2.5 year old son and I stay at home with him, we love going on walks to the park and being outside. He is a HUGE animal lover. I’m flexible during the week and the weekend! I have a fenced in backyard and ranch home. I enjoy walks outdoors and am willing to go above and beyond for what your pet may need.

“Lindsey is superb! Diego had so much fun and her updates were detailed along with great photos and videos. My dog had an amazing time at her doggy friendly home and looks forward to seeing her again! Thanks so much for the phenomenal service!”
