“Jordyn took great care of Polly in our house while we were gone a few days! She sent regular updates and pictures that gave us peace of mind that Polly was in great hands. Will definitely use Jordyn again for future trips!”

“Ashlee was wonderful with my senior pup who needed a LOT of extra care. She ensured that I, the worried mom, got tons of photos and updates throughout my time away. She really put me at ease and handled the many needs of my older sick pup with great care, kindness, and professionalism. She stayed at my home with my pup and left the house in great shape. We will certainly be asking her to watch our dog again in the future.”

“Megan is amazing!!! She took care of my 2 dachshunds! She went above and beyond for me! I contacted her 6 months ago about watching my dogs for my wedding day. She brought my dogs to my wedding for me! She took amazing care of both my dogs and sent so many pictures! I would highly suggest her as a dog sitter! Our pups were so taken care of. Thank you Megan!”

“Grace was excellent! She provided updates when needed and was very helpful and attentive to our requests and instructions. We came home to a happy, healthy puppy and a clean house. All we could ask for in a sitter! We will definitely be booking Grace again! Thanks, Grace!”

Meghan K.

“Megan is fantastic. She communicates really well and supported me with some change of plans in the middle of my trip. She is kind, caring and an amazing woman. She put me at ease and Abby just loved her. She was even looking out the window for an hour after Megan left! Definitely recommend.”

“Haley and Alex came through for me in a very last-minute and stressful situation due to a family emergency. They stayed with my Boys and kept them happy and cared for in my home while I was out of town. They were great about keeping me updated, especially knowing how stressed I was since this was the first time anyone besides my immediate family took care of my pups. I would definitely book them again and will recommend them to all of my pet parent friends! 🐶🐾”

About: I’ve been caring for animals throughout my whole life and using Rover since the middle of 2022. I don’t have any pets of my own and my home is quiet and peaceful. My genuine love for animals, experience with various breeds and special needs, beautifully fenced in yard by the water, and emphasis on love and patience collectively set me apart as a dog sitter who provides exceptional care and creates a loving environment for the dogs entrusted to me. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet so I can meet your pup and you can see how much fun we’ll have together! I like to start the day with a quick potty break followed by some playful yard time to get the wiggles out, then it’s straight to breakfast. During the day we’ll stroll around the neighborhood, and sniff out some new spots. By evening it’s all about winding down, cozy vibes, and a yummy dinner to wrap up a tail-wagging day! I care for pets by observing their behavior, exercise, play, walks, and snuggles. Please bring along any favorite toys, crate, blankets, or other comfort items they love.

“Michele did a great job watching our Livia while we were in CA. We were very comfortable knowing she was well taken care of. Michele took Livia for a morning walk daily and kept us updated with pictures and notes. She is highly recommended and we wouldn't hesitate to use her again.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have an elderly Jack Russell Terrier and a spunky Chocolate Lab, so I understand the unique needs of both senior dogs and energetic pups. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, including administering medications, following feeding schedules, maintaining training routines, and providing individualized care based on each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or a slower pace, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I have experience with quirky personalities and understand that every dog is different. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and believe in providing plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and consistency. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the day and week. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, early morning care, evening check-ins, or weekend visits, I’m often able to adjust my schedule to provide the care they need. Every dog and family has different routines, so I’m happy to communicate with you to create a care plan that works best for both you and your pup. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care while keeping your dog’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Feel free to reach out with your scheduling needs—I do my best to be flexible and accommodating whenever possible! 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and training preferences. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure and comfortable while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing how your pet is doing. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, senior, or still learning the ropes as a puppy, I strive to create a safe, positive, and loving environment tailored to their individual needs. I treat every pet in my care with the same attention, patience, and affection that I give my own dogs.

About: I’m different from other sitters because I go above and beyond for the families trusting me with their fur babies! I have 6 years of experience with taking care of homes and animals: I am a college student and part time nanny. I baby sit on Tuesdays & Thursdays 10-4 so those two days are unavailable unless you are okay with your pet waiting 6 hours to be let out. I make sure dogs are being let out every two hours. I will be sure to be changing water bowls and follow the owners feeding schedule. I’m pretty laid back so I love just cuddling with dogs and cats while watching tv or doing homework! I am honored to be trusted by families to take care of their homes and pets

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. I had my childhood dog, as well as caring for numerous family members animals. I‘ve done everything from popping over to watch cats and refill their food to overnight stays to care for animals. I currently work full time, but I can always work things into my schedule as that is the only other thing in my life currently! I love when owners leave me notes regarding their pets care and little trick and habits that will help the pets feel more comfortable. I ensure safety and care to any pets I sit or walk.

“Zoe stayed at my house and cared for my two dogs and cat while I was away for a week. She was great with everyone, keeping me regularly updated to their progress and responsive when I had questions. I’d definitely hire Zoe again.”

About: I currently own three dogs, and have had at least one dog for around 7 years. I have also taken care of pets for family friends and neighbors since even before that. I frequently take my dogs for walks, and I have no allergies to any dog or cat breeds. I am looking to get a summer position so be aware that this could change but currently I am very free and flexible just about whenever you need me. I'm able to take your dogs for plenty of walks and give them plenty of playtime as necessary. Ideally I would prefer to care for your pets in your home, but I can also do in my house if desired. I have 3 dogs that could keep yours company, and they are very sweet as well as decently small. I also have a fully fenced backyard to play in and a spare crate if necessary, although it is only big enough to hold a pet of around 15 pounds or so.

About: I have experience with dogs since a very young age, they have always truly been my best friends. I have fostering experience & have cared for mother dogs, witnessed birth, and taken care of their newborns. I live in an apartment with my boyfriend and our two cats and toy cockapoo, we are open to dog boarding and sitting! Please keep in mind when requesting us, I do work full time M-F 8-4:30p and my boyfriend works full time M-Th and every other weekend until 2:30 or 3pm, so our best availability is evenings, weekends, and overnight sittings. We look forward to meeting your precious fur babies!

“Rachel watched my family's 4 dogs while we went on a week long vacation. She was great, updating us daily with pics and a brief note on how they were doing. Will definitely use her again next year!”

“Jill is simply the best! We’re so lucky to have her!”

About: Caring for dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. With 3 years of vet tech experience and 2 years at a doggy daycare, I bring both professional knowledge and genuine love to every dog I care for. I understand dog behavior, medications, and individual needs, and I treat every dog as if they were my own- so you can feel confident your pet is safe, understood, and deeply cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. While I'm currently in school Tuesdays and Thursdays, most of the time I'm home, which gives me open and flexible availability for pet care. I enjoy staying active through walks and hikes, so daily exercise and outdoor time with dogs is something I happily incorporate into my routine. Being home allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention and a calm, caring environment where pets feel safe and well cared for. I care for pets with a calm, loving and attentive approach, whether in my home or a client's home. In my home, dogs have plenty of space to relax and play, including a large fenced-in yard and a comfortable, spacious house. I also live near several forest preserves, which allows for enriching walks and outdoor time when appropriate. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules and medications, and any special needs, to ensure comfort. Because I may be caring for other dogs and I have a dog of my own, I always ask about a pet's temperament and how they do around other dogs to make sure everyone stays safe, happy and stress-free.
