About: There has never been a day in my life where I haven't had a dog, so I will love your dog like its my own. I have experience from training two of my own puppies to caring for my senior dogs. I have been pet sitting since I was 13 so I have a wide range of experience with different types of breeds, personalities, training, etc. I currently work part time during the daytime 11am - 4pm throughout the week so I'm available anytime in the evening or morning to help! I am a very loving person when it comes to pets, so I will do all the things your fur baby loves to do! Whether that's long walks, going to the park, playing with a frisbee, or just hanging out, I will do it! I want to make your pet the happiest it can be!
“Britt was absolutely amazing!! Our dog doesn't like new people taking her out right away, but she took to Britt within just a couple days. Very easy to work with and 100000% recommend!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats in my day! I love to walk dogs in the northwest suburbs. I am an elementary teacher and I also have 4 years of experience bathing dogs at PetSmart. I am currently working part time, so I have good availability to walk your dog(s)! I am most available in the summer. Dogs dogs dogs! I am a calm and lively person who can make your pets feel safe and happy. I have experience in the pet industry so I know a lot of tips and tricks for working with animals.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 and have had dogs of my own since I was 4. I have experience with dog socialization including working with local humane societies and volunteering for 4 Paws 4 Ability, where I trained service dogs in training. I have experience with many breeds of all ages and am comfortable handling medication if needed. I will have plenty of time to take care of pups this summer as I just graduated college and am waiting to find employment! I am available to stop in to let your pup out or take them for a walk when you need if I’m in town! My top priority is making sure your dog or cat gets the love and care they need. As a pet owner, I know you expect someone who is qualified, reliable, and will put your babies first!
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 13 years — I've owned 3 dogs ranging from small to large, so I'm comfortable and experienced with all sizes. I've also sat for friends and family, so I understand how much trust it takes to hand your dog off to someone else. I take that responsibility seriously and make sure every dog in my care feels safe and well looked after. I'm currently on summer break and have a very open schedule, meaning I can be flexible around whatever works best for you and your dog. I'm available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings for walks and drop-in visits. Pet care isn't just a side thing for me — I'm treating this seriously and looking to make it a full-time commitment. You can expect prompt communication, reliable show-up times, and a sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. When it comes to drop-in visits, I treat your home with full respect — I follow your routines, stick to your dog's schedule, and make sure everything is secure before I leave. For walks, I always make sure dogs are properly leashed and stay attentive the whole time. I have one dog of my own so I'm experienced with handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Your dog's safety and comfort is always the priority.
“Janet is awesome! I never have to worry about my kitties when Janet is coming. She is perfect at following care instructions and communicating what's going on with my cats. I highly recommend!”
“Leila was a big help. I booked her for last minute for multiple hours, and she didn’t bat an eye. She just asked where, when and what do you need from me? (In a good way). She completely exceeded expectations and I hope she is available to watch him again in the future!”
About: I’m a reliable and easygoing pet sitter with about 3 years of experience in Glen Ellyn and the surrounding suburbs. I grew up walking dogs daily, and more recently started offering in-home care for owners who travel. I keep pets on their normal routine, make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise, and stay on top of any specific instructions. I’m dependable, responsive, and easy to work with. I work Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5 PM, so I’m available for visits before or after work on weekdays. I typically work from home one day a week, which is helpful if you’re heading out of town for a long weekend. I also have full availability on weekends and can be flexible for more involved care. I primarily care for pets in their own homes so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow all routines and instructions closely, keep things clean and consistent, and make sure your home and pet are well looked after while you’re away.
“Catherine was incredible! I had a last minute business trip out of town and had been stressing about finding someone to watch my two cats. I'm so grateful Catherine was available and will definitely be using her again in the future. She followed directions and went above and beyond. Every day I got multiple pictures and updates on their eating habits, temperament, how play time went, etc. I could feel the love she showed my felines through the updates. My cats can be rather suspicious of new people but they warmed up to her quickly and within a day or two were waiting for her by the door. I think that really speaks to her skill with animals and how much respect and love she shows them. Will definitely be using her services in the future. Cannot recommend Catherine enough. 5 stars all day every day”
“Im absolutely thrilled with Agnieszka! I hope she will always be free to take care of my fur babies when I travel. Not only did she take excellent care of them but she sent me a lot of gorgeous pictures. The only problem with telling you that you too will be thrilled with her care is that she might be busy the next time I need her. 😊”

I love to walk and pet pups so hopefully we can be good match!! I’m currently working part-time in the afternoon (3-6) so I have lots of free time to check in or walk your pet. I have owned Goldens my entire life so training a high-energy dog is something I’m experienced in. I’m all about creating a safe and enriching environment for dogs, so I’m open to adapting to your pets daily routine.
About: Hello! My name is Jamie. I’m coming up on my 2nd year volunteering at the Chicago Canine Rescue and have had a lot of experience with larger dogs. I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 rabbits of my own, having 8+ years of experience with dogs. I am a very dependable and energetic pet lover, going on runs and hiking with my own dogs. I am available for walks and fun at the dog park! In addition I am a biology major at Loyola University Chicago, taking animal behavior and anatomy classes. I feel I would be a good match for your needs! Thank you for your consideration. I am a student, having tons of free time on my hands. I am a very active person and will run with your pup! I’ve also have been taking care of animals all my life and used to having a schedule that revolves around taking care of pets! I treat every pet with respect and like my own fur babies at home. I follow instructions carefully and fully understand the importance of following them! I will not disappoint.
Glen Ellyn dog parents share their Rover experiences
Joseph was an amazing dog sitter! He was kind, reliable, and took great care of my dog during the visit. Communication was excellent, and I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Joseph to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
I needed someone on very short notice to let my dogs out for two days while I was out of town visiting grandkids and my husband was working. Dayna jumped in right away and was an absolute lifesaver! She was prompt both days, arriving right on time. What really stood out was how thoughtful and communicative she was—she sent adorable photos of my pups having a good time and sweet, reassuring text updates that kept me completely at ease. It was my first time using Rover, and I was a little nervous leaving my dogs with someone new, but she made the whole experience stress-free and positive. From our phone conversation prior to her visits it was clear how much she loves dogs and she treated mine with such care and attention. I came home feeling confident that they were happy and well looked after. Thank you so much, Dayna! You went above and beyond and made my first Rover experience fantastic. I will definitely be booking with you again!
Leila was a big help. I booked her for last minute for multiple hours, and she didn’t bat an eye. She just asked where, when and what do you need from me? (In a good way). She completely exceeded expectations and I hope she is available to watch him again in the future!
Thantita did an amazing job with Toby. I feel like because he’s dark and big he can scare people but he’s really just all looks. She was on the floor playing with him during the meet & greet and you could see he was relaxed around her. She also tended to my one cat that has tummy issues by feeding her canned food. She even added a little water to it to keep her hydrated. She sent really great pics every day too. We got stuck in a snow storm & had to come home a day later and she was there for us kindly continuing to watch our pets. 10/10 she’s fantastic!
Rosa was so wonderful with our dog. She walked him, played with him and made sure he was well fed, happy and safe. She communicated with us during or after each visit and even sent pictures of him having fun which gave us great peace of mind knowing he was being well cared for while we were away. I highly recommend her!
