“Beth is AMAZING. She has been nothing but accommodating to our late notice needs. Our Kira girl LOVES Beth and you can tell! She is great about sending us updates and her Rover cards are always detailed about her visits. We will continue to use Beth for our doggie needs and seriously recommend her to everyone!”
“Jennifer is so great! I have used her a handful of times now for dog walking. She provides very detailed updates during her walk and always listens if I provide her with different instructions for the day. She also quickly caught on to what our dog likes to do - play fetch versus going for walks so she takes time to play fetch. Definitely recommend booking her!”
“Dana is wonderful!! My dog Gianna loves when she comes by to walk her during the day. She currently comes to take her out two days a week, once each day. I was very nervous having someone come into my home & walk my little girl but I feel so comfortable knowing Dana is with her. I would highly recommend her!! Thank you Dana!!”
“Madeline saved the day and accepted a last minute request when our usual dog walker was out of town. She was patient with our nervous pup and did a great job at making her feel comfortable!”
“Thank you for taking care of Maddox yesterday Jennifer! I know that she enjoyed having a visitor and getting to go out during a long day. I’m sorry that she barked a little at the beginning! She is so sweet though. I will be sure to let you know if she needs anything more, and she will love working with you. Thank you”
About: For about three years while living in Denver, my partner and I were fostering kittens and dogs in our spare time (and loved it)! I own two social cats (foster fails) who I've taken care of since they were kittens. My partner has a traveling role for work, so I haven't been able to foster animals like before- I need my animal fix! I signed up to be a pet sitter because I genuinely love animals and miss taking care of them. I'm flexible with my schedule! I'm currently inbetween work contracts. If you need weekend sitting- just shoot me a message! I may be able to accommodate. With my experience fostering (and pet sitting), I understand your pet may have particular needs that I will gladly accommodate! With me, you will get frequent updates and photos of your loved fur child- they are in good hands!
“Catherine provided great service for me when I was in a bind last minute. She was very responsive, followed the instructions that I left, and most importantly was great with my dog. She also provided adorable photo updates in the walk summary of her fun time with Willow. I will definitely be booking Catherine in the future & will recommend her services to others. Thank you!!”
About: Hi, I’m Grace! I’m a college student with over 4 years of pet care experience. I spent more than 2 years volunteering at my local humane society as a dog walker, and I have two dogs of my own at home. I love all animals and would be happy to care for your furry friends. I’m home for the summer with plenty of time to play with your pups. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week. I follow your pet’s routine, provide walks and playtime, keep them safe and happy, and give plenty of love and attention while keeping you updated.
About: I’ve been taking care of neighborhood pets for at least 5 years now and have a lovely 10-year-old cocker spaniel named Lily who is friendly with all kinds of dogs! Small dogs, big dogs, and all in between are welcome! I’m currently taking a gap year in the middle of my college journey so I am free pretty much every day of the week for dog sitting/boarding! We have a spacious back yard that is only fenced in the back so I like to walk pets in and around our yard, and for more athletic pets we have some longer leashes that we can put them on to let them roam around and play! The neighborhood is very pleasant and walkable so I like to take frequent walks when pet-sitting! If you instead prefer for me to come to you, I’m open to either staying at the pet’s house around the clock, or I can come and go every 2 hours or so if that works better for you!
About: From childhood, I've cared for both cats and dogs—my own as well as pets for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it’s playful puppies, shy senior cats, or pets with special diets and routines, I always take the time to get to know each animal’s unique personality and needs. I know how important it is to have someone reliable and caring when you’re away, and I look forward to giving you that peace of mind for your furry friend when you need some help! I work a remote 9-5 job and have the flexibility to work from different settings, meaning that I can drop by and be present for your pet whenever you need. I always ensure that boundaries and expectations are clear before caring for a pet in your home. If your pet is allowed outside, I take extra precautions to ensure they're leashed beforehand. Ahead of caring for your pet, I will make sure to review your preferred pet health provider's location in case of an emergency.
About: My wife, son and I have taken care of pets our entire lives. Currently, we have only one elderly cat with special medical needs. Recently retired, we would love to adopt a dog but our frequent travel (to visit grandchildren) makes that a challenge. That travel helps us understand the stress and anxiety of leaving a pet in the care of others. We enjoy walking and playing with dogs (and cats!) and enjoy being in our yard, which opens to a field in the back, perfect for fetch. We will fill the day with a lot of activity and attention in a safe and secure environment. We are home full time and will have plenty of opportunity for walks, play time and potty breaks. During the school year, but my wife and I are home... and in summer months, our young-adult son will help as well. We have a spacious yard but it is not fenced so we would keep your dog on a long leash while outside. At night, we can easily crate, depending on the pet-parents preferences.
About: Dog owner for 17 years, cat owner my whole life. I’m very active love long walks and cuddles. I just lost my 15 year old dog so I’m familiar with senior care and we currently have a puppy so I’m dealing with that so I can handle anything. I work from home so I can do before work (early mornings), midday and afternoons. I can stop in for feedings and or walks. Maybe just cuddles if that’s needed. Fenced yard, 2 friendly dogs. I can stop by for feedings/walks. Very trustworthy mom of 3 grown children. My pups are my world and I know you feel the same about yours.
About: I have a dog of my own currently. He is an Australian Shepherd/collie mix. I have two more dogs at my parents home that I used to care for. I was a dog walker at the humane society for 2 years. I had a dog and cared for her for 10 years when I was younger. I have dog-sat for my neighbors and would love to help with your needs! Dog's are my passion and I thoroughly care for them, all shapes and sizes. If the weather is nice, I love taking my dog for a run and I'd be happy to take yours too! Feel free to message me through Rover and I will answer as soon as I can! Thanks have a great day!
About: We lost our cocker spaniel of 13 years about 2 years ago so I love to take care of dogs now that we don’t have a dog to pamper. We care for one dog at a time unless two dogs are siblings or good friends then that’s OK. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park nearby or just snuggle on the couch and chill with them. I realize how important your baby is to you and will give them love, companionship and special care. We love having a dog around. I’m retired and an empty nester so I am flexible and around all the time. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park and Glenbard West HS just down my street. We also like to sit on the front porch in the shade (gated) and watch the world go by. It’s a dead end street; so it’s very relaxed & chill. We are a few blocks from Main Street and town. We love hanging out in the back yard or the porch with our dog guests and take frequent walks.

“I was very comfortable leaving Lola with Paige. She is a very warm, friendly person and absolutely loves dogs. Lola is pretty timid when it comes to meeting other dogs, but I think with Paige's presence, Lola wasn't afraid to meet Paige's dog, Samson (who is also very warm and friendly.)”
Terri M.Star Sitter
“Terri is a wonderful pet sitter and one of the few people I trust with my pets! She has lots of experience with taking care of all different breeds of dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, and even hedgehogs!

Highly recommend booking with Terri!!”
