“Dana was so wonderful with our kitty! It was our first time leaving him alone while we went out of town and we were a little nervous because he’s very shy around new people. By her second visit with him it was clear he was perfectly comfortable and so happy to see her. Dana sends many pictures and gives you thorough updates with each visit, so you know your baby is safe and happy. She cares very much about each animal she takes on, and you can tell! Highly recommend her!”
“Ashley did a fantastic job sitting for my two cats over almost a full two-week timeframe. I have never felt this at ease with a sitter and was really able to relax on my vacation. Timely, respectful, and my cats warmed up to her immediately. I'll never hesitate to rebook!”
About: I can do general grooming including nail/claw trims. I also can give medication if needed, I enjoy going outside on walks and also playing with any type of animal I go to college currently and have an occasional job working for a delivery company but animals are my passion so I look forward to working with them I make sure to always stick to instructions given to me word for word and want your furry friends as safe and comfortable as possible

“Robyn was great! She is so loving with our Layla. She showed up on time and was respectful of our home. Thank you so much Robyn! We will definitely be booking with you again.”

She does this as a full time job and can tell she is so passionate about it. She was great with my pups. She followed all our instructions, took tremendous care of them, was always on time, offered yummy treats and captures great photos. I will definitely use her again!”

About: I've had pets nearly all of my life and love all types of animals, whether domesticated pets or seeing animals while backpacking in the wilderness. I am currently working part-time and have plenty of time to visit your pets during the week. My schedule is flexible for dog walking and/or visits in your home. Pets are members of our families. Just like anyone, they deserve our trust and need to feel safe. Every pet is unique and I believe it's important to get to know each pet's personality.
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy taking care of and spending time with them. I have experience caring for older dogs who may need extra attention, assistance, or medication. I also have extensive experience with energetic dogs, so I understand the importance of exercise, consistency, and routine in keeping them happy and healthy. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I am able to fit pet care easily into my daily and weekly routine. I have time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I am organized and dependable, so I can consistently follow routines, medication schedules, and specific care instructions to make sure pets stay comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether I am in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, bathroom breaks, and any medications or special instructions. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while also respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintaining a clean, calm space. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they are away. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for.
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.
“Rachel was great providing care for my two cats while I was traveling. She took care of all their needs and kept me updated on everything. I felt secure having my pets looked after by her”
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!”

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!
Victoria was awesome with our 2 cats! She took great care of them and followed our directions precisely. She even helped problem-solve an issue with the automatic feeder to ensure they would be okay after she left. My shy cat seemed very comfortable with her. I would absolutely book with her again. Thanks so much for taking such great care of them!
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!
I am so grateful that Kristen was able to care for my cat Sylvester last minute. She took great care of him and he looked very happy and comfortable with her in the pictures. Kirsten has great communication and I felt comfortable and safe having her in my home. I recommend her and would book with her again!
Edgar and his kids did such a great job taking care of my cat Jake that even though he’s so shy with people he started to feel comfortable and safe with them within a few days. He always had plenty of food and water and Edgar was communicative and sent pictures everyday and text messages everyday. I highly recommend him and his kids. Thank you for taking care of my baby so well!
