6. Devon W.


“Devon was amazing with Roxy! She not only took her on a mile walk each time and included some cute photos, but also gave her some cuddles and played with her and her toys. My pup is skittish about new people but even on our first meeting, Roxy didn't take long to warm up to Devon. She's quick to respond, friendly, and accommodating. I would recommend her to anyone!”


7. Jill P.

“Hill is the best! She is reliable, and communication is great! My little girl loves her!”


8. Angela R.
“Angie is so gentle and patient with our cat. She understands senior animals, and spoils our little boy so much when she takes care of him. We trust her in our home and with our sweet boy, and love the pictures she shares of their snuggles together!”


9. Miranda O.

10. Linsey C.

“Linsey has been great to work with, from scheduling the initial meet and greet to scheduling reoccurring walks. She is a great communicator and sends wonderful pictures of the doggos. Highly recommend her services!”


11. Krista & Thomas R.
“Hello! I would definately recommend Krista as an excellent pet caregiver and tho she is my partner, you might think I am biased but we have worked in the past hand-in-hand taking care of my families troublesome dogs (they fight with each other often) for up to two weeks at a time in rural Sandstone Minnesota. This wasn't the easiest dog sitting situation I would say, because the dogs don't get along and they have to be constantly watched/fed/and taken out seperately, but they also love to both be with you at the same time! So it's a conundrum indeed. Anyway, she aced the test of these dogs and the bearded dragon as well that involved different responsibilities; such as, keeping the crickets alive by feeding them dormant meal worm larvae and monitoring the temperate gauge and humidity level in the lizards aquarium. Needless to say my aunt Sallie was very pleased and always welcomes Krista back to do a rural dog and reptile care and you should too after you send your pet with her care! :)”


12. Bret H.

“I travel for work so I tend to use lots of different walkers. Bret has got to be one of the best! Really good work ethic. Bret is a caring person and an all around solid guy you can count on!”


13. Grace K.
“My sister Grace is a certified Dog Lover. Our family has had dogs ever since we were little, and she always developed a special rapport with each of them. Her canine bonafides also include fostering, dog sitting and involving a family dog in her wedding! Grace has looked after my dog, Putter, on several occasions; ranging from walks to weekends to even longer periods of time while we have been on vacation. He has always been exceptionally well cared for when she's in charge. Grace has an immense amount of love for our four-legged friends. She is also very detailed, responsible and capable - your dog will be in great hands with Grace!”


14. Becca L.

“Becca was amazing! This is my first time using rover and leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know and she did a great job putting my nerves at ease and it was so nice to know it was handled and taken care of and I could enjoy my night! My dog is slightly reactive on leash which has been my hesitation hiring someone I didn’t know and she came and met him beforehand on her own time while I was home to get a feel for how he was which I extremely appreciated. Highly recommend Becca and will be using her in the future for dog sitting needs!”


15. Kayla C.
“Kayla pet sits for my rambunctious Staffie all the time! She makes sure he is well taken care of everytime she sees him. He gets plenty of outside time, treats, and snuggles. He gets so excited when he sees her. He’s super picky about who is around him, he’s a rescue with a sad past. But he loves when she comes! She would be a great fit to take care of anyone’s fur child!”


16. Sarah Y.


“Sarah is always great with Bosco! He always seems so happy when he finds out he is going to be able to spend some time with her. I just wish that I needed a dog walker more often so he could have more fun with her. Guess it's a great excuse to plan a vacation! (Sorry I forgot to post this months ago! I just noticed it when I tried to rebook you.)”


17. Larissa M.
About: I have experience as a dog/ cat owner and fosterer and have been a reliable sitter for friends and family for the last 15 years. As a sitter or walker you can expect me to be punctual, respectful, cleanly, communicative, available, aware, responsible, alert, playful and loving. I am primarily offering care in YOUR home at this time for pet sitting. I am flexible and willing to work out a plan in my home if it is the best option. I live in Bay View right across the street from humboldt park. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work very part time at the moment so I am very flexible. I work 8-3:30 monday, wednesday, Friday. My weekends are mostly open and flexible. I cannot do in my home cares at this time. aaaa a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a


18. Tiffany N.
About: While going to school in Chicago for two years, I worked as a dog walker caring for small Yorkies to two large Newfoundlands. I have two rescues myself, Esme my lazy and sassy cat and Chopper my energetic, enthusiastic dog. I spent a large portion of last year taking my puppy through many dog training classes and I am excited to share/use these skills. I have less experience with dogs with more complex behaviors and so I may not be a perfect match for reactive dogs. Currently, I am working as a RN. I don't have a consistent weekly schedule, but I would love to help out your fur family where and when I can. Feel free to reach out with special needs and questions. I am interested in 30- 60 minute walks, drop in visits, or purfect play dates. I love puppies as well, so I can assist with short visits and/or help with potty training (maybe even work on a few tricks while the pup and I are together). I love to make sure they have fresh water, provide a meal if hungry, or work on other skills as well.


19. Claire N.
About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets and always had a dog in the house. I volunteered for years at the local humane society as a child and as soon as I was able, I brought my big baby Dutch the Great Dane into my home! I have experience with reactive dogs, playful puppies and seniors alike and can’t wait to meet your pup! I am a wedding photographer with lots of open hours during the slow winter season. When I am busy I work from home with lots of flexibility. I am open to walking and caring for your dog in whichever way is right for them. I am comfortable with crating, prong collars, harnesses, and anything else you could choose!


20. Jacqueline B.
About: I provide a warm and welcoming home to lovingly care for your pet while you're away. With years of experience training my family’s dogs and raising my two playful cats since they were kittens (now 14 years old), I’m well-versed in animal care. I also walk my neighbor’s elderly pug and look after my best friend’s rabbit. As a freelance graphic designer working from home, I have plenty of time to shower your pet with attention and give them pets and chat with them during my screen breaks. I truly adore animals and ensure they feel safe, happy, and taken care of. I work from home 5+ days of the week and enjoy taking breaks to go for walks or to play with and pet my cats. I'd love to take in your pup(s) for home stays during the day or overnights to join for walks and company. If your pup does not do well with cats (mine tend to mind their own business as they're old and chill) I am happy to close off their safe rooms in the house to keep everyone at ease and content. Let's chat about it! :) I like to go off of the pet parent's request. I'll respect how you like to lead your pet and follow the same rules and schedule. For example- if you let them sleep on the furniture, they're welcome to here. If you don't allow that, then I won't, as well. I like to be consistent.
