I am available to watch your dog in my home Monday through Friday and am around for sleepovers 7 days a week. I currently work part-time from home, so I have plenty of time and attention to lavish on your pup which is what I love to do. I have a fenced-in yard and the ability to give your special friend a lot of attention. I take oodles of pictures and document our walks, so you know your pup is having fun.

About: Hello!My name is Yiran and I come from China,I’ve always loved being around animals and caring for them is something that brings me real joy. I have about 3 years of experience dog sitting and walking, and over 5 years of experience with cats. When I was 16,I used to sit my aunt's dog all the time. I grew up with a British Golden Retriever, and when I turned 18, I got a Ragdoll cat who quickly became my best friend. I also have a lot of hands-on experience with small animals—I’ve cared for over 20 hamsters and 4 guinea pigs over the years. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. I take the time to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. (I'm also planning on getting a bunny!!) I currently have a 10-8pm full time job. I am always off on Tuesdays and Saturdays(full day care) And I'll be free sometimes even 6pm during normal work days. When I first got my baby Ragdoll,I flew to LA to the breeder's house,she took me in and gave me a huge handbook:about how to care for my baby cat,what food is good,what medicine to buy if she's sick,her daily routine,how to communicate with her...And I bought ticket,brought her on airplane with me flew back home. When it comes to my love for animals,I Will put as much effort as I can! I know the basic routine and difference for cats and dogs,i know what food they shouldn't be eating,how to train them and how to calm them down if they are stressed.

“Yulissa has been walking franky for a few weeks. What we love about her is she personalizes his experience, changing routes and keeps him engaged. Before leaving, she makes sure he has plenty of water too. Thank you Yulissa!”


“Sergio is great and very compassionate individual to walk my dog Rosie! He listened and in detail about handling Rosie with being a large breed puppy. Highly recommend Sergio!”


“Camera was super great and thoughtful. Odin took to her right away. And she was even thoughtful enough to give the kitties treats too! Hoping to continue to work with her for future walks.”


“Abby was great with our Zeke, who can be picky sometimes. She is professional and caring for our Zeke. I know he is in good hands when Abby walks him”


About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve had my senior dog for 13 years, and caring for her as she’s aged has taught me so much about love, patience, and what it means to truly understand a pet’s needs. I’ve worked at a doggy daycare, where I got to know so many different breeds and personalities, and now I work as a veterinary assistant, which has deepened my knowledge and confidence in animal care, even in tricky situations. I’ve also been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, and I always care for their pets like I would my own. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or giving meds, I’m here to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As a full-time college student studying pre-veterinary sciences and working part-time at a veterinary clinic, my schedule can vary throughout the week. I always update my availability to ensure your pet receives the best care possible. Typically, my availability is more flexible from Friday to Sunday, but my Monday to Thursday schedule depends on my classes and clinic hours. I’m also available for overnight pet sitting on weekends or with advance notice. If you have specific times or requests in mind, feel free to ask—I’m happy to work with you and adjust as needed! Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard, providing a secure and safe environment for your pups to play and explore. Additionally, I live in a neighborhood surrounded by parks, so there are plenty of places for walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures. If your pet prefers or needs to be crated, I can accommodate that as well, ensuring they feel secure and comfortable. Whether it’s keeping them safe in the yard, taking them on exciting strolls through nearby parks, or crating when necessary, you can trust that your pets are in good hands with plenty of space to run, play, and relax.

About: I’ve raised two fur babies for 8 years now. I’m passionate about quality care. I love long walks, and ensuring pups are never lonely or under stimulated. I am currently home from university for the summer, so animal care is my full time job! I can do overnight care, daily walks or anything else your pet might need, and I am generally available 7 days a week. Since I have two dogs at home, I do not board dogs in my home but meet your pets needs in the comfort of their own space.

About: My name is Daniella. I am 24 years old and working with animals is what my life is about. All my life I have had my own pets and I have also worked at an animal hospital for the past 8 years! I am a college graduate with a degree in Biology and I’m here to make sure your fur babies are happy and safe! I have lots of experience with animals and I love any kind. You have a cat? No problem! 5 dogs? (It’s okay I do too!) consider me to watch your lovely animals! I promise that I won’t let you down! I am currently a full time vet tech! I am free pretty much every Sunday and Wednesday and Saturday afternoons after 3pm. I am off some Mondays as well. I would love to be able to work with your schedule as well! Bringing pets into my home won’t always be an option for me but I am more than happy to stay at your home to watch your fur babies! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats myself so bringing in other pets does not always work well for my little guysz

About: As a lifelong dog lover and responsible pet caretaker, I’m here to make walks the best part of your pup’s day. Whether it's a quick potty break or a long adventure, I’ll treat your dog like family — with lots of love, attention, and tail-wagging fun! I’m reliable, communicative, and always ready for a walk, rain or shine. Let’s get those paws moving! I am currently spending my summer in Oak Park without a full time job so I am ready for a walk at almost any time! I will make sure your dog has a great time and is well taken care of. I will leave them with full water bowl and anything else you might want.

About: I have taken care of my own and family friend pets for a long time. I have the most expereince caring for dogs and birds. For dogs, I would feed, walk, and bathe them ( I have only bathed dogs that I feel lIke I can). As for birds, I have fed, and cleaned out their cages. I am currently working full time but I work the opening shift. I already go on walks after work, why not have the fur babes join me? I ersoanlly keep my dog in a leash where I know it's unsafe for her to be. Unleashed at home or in sanctioned pet areas like a gated dog park. I am available to do any care that is needed if it;s at client's home.

About: I have taken care of my dog Avery for the last six years, becoming a foster failure, which was the best thing that ever happened to me! I am willing to provide whatever care you might need for your fur baby, including going for walks, playing with toys, and giving them all the love. I am comfortable providing any medication as well, if necessary, and I am happy to work with pets of all personality types. I also have experience working with dogs who exhibit anxious behaviors. Whenever I’m around animals, they can expect nothing short of a fun time, full of pets, love, and all the attention! I am a teacher who will be off for the summer, so my availability for drop in visits or dog walking sessions is pretty wide open. Mornings, afternoons, and early evenings would work great, and I could also do late nights during the week. Having used Rover myself for my own dog, I get a great deal of peace of mind getting updates from Rover sitters, so I would want nothing more than to provide that same reassurance to other clients with their pets. I will provide regular updates whenever I have visits with your pet, as I value communication, and I will of course follow through with whatever special requests you might have for your pet.
