“Ryan was fantastic! We were in a pinch and needed someone last minute and Ryan came through! Very reliable and gave great updates. And Daisy loved him! We will definitely use him again.”

About: I’m currently working part time with children with special needs. I have experience having dogs (both small and large) my whole life and love taking care of them! I’m currently working part time and have availability on Mondays. I also have the potential to work on Thursday mornings or afternoons as well. Schedules can be discussed! While working with dogs, I will always use a leash in non fenced yards unless specified to do otherwise. Details for how you would like to have me work with your pet can be further discussed!
“Faith is fantastic. She is so attentive to detail and truly cares for animals. I am so grateful for her help this week on a last minute request. She is a life saver. Highly recommend!”

“Mallory and her partner were very attentive and communicative! Our cat enjoyed their visit and we knew he was in safe hands, with them. We would recommend them to others, and will definitely contact them again, for future services. Five stars! 🌟”

“Hope was great! She took very good care of my cat while I was out of the country for a week. She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on everything. Will definitely ask her for help again in the future.”


“Sara took excellent care of our two dogs while we were away! The daily report cards were informative on their habits and behavior, but also sprinkled with humor and true affection for the dogs. I know they felt comfortable with her, which made our time away a little bit easier. She followed our care instructions, asked and answered questions, and was easy to reach if I needed her. I will definitely use her again in the future because I know she cares for Jimmy and Molly like her own. Highly Recommend!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, from the puppy years all the way up to saying goodbye. I have many years of experience in handing dogs and caring for them. Throughout the years I have dog sat neighbors and friends dogs. Leaving a family member behind is hard, for both you and your pet, I am here to eliminate that stress by making sure your pet is well taken care of while their human is away. I have a pretty open and flexible schedule and will be able to work out times that best work for you and your pet! I do have a fur baby of my own, but my parents love watching him😊 When it comes to the safety of your pet, I take this very seriously. I only give treats/toys that you approve. If there are special accommodations your pet may need, please let me know before meeting so I can come prepared! I am very open minded to discussing anything that I can do to better care for your pet!

About: I’ve taken care of small and large dogs before. I’ve dealt with dogs with trauma. I’m prepared to walk in rain when needed. I can also handle medication management. I’m currently working full-time remote two days a week. I’m in decent shape to walk for longer periods during my one-hour lunch break and after work at 4 pm. I’m friendly and open to a variety of pets. Though I don’t have any pets of my own, I’ll take care yours like they are mine. I’ve been trusted to care for pets for long periods. I have managed medication, special diets and walking several times a day.
“We had Swagata watch our puppy for multiple days while at work since she wasn’t old enough to be left alone all day. Swagata was very accommodating and helpful, she sent lots of pictures and our puppy was always happy and well cared for. We will absolutely have her care for our puppy again in the future.”

About: I have had at least one dog in my household since elementary school. Good with all breeds & sizes! Love to go on walks and exceptionally good at cuddles! Would prefer one animal at a time unless the dogs are small. I work Monday - Friday 8:30 to 5:00. Recently separated and no longer am able to see my dog, who is my absolute pride and joy. I have so much love to give and would take amazing care of your furry loved ones! Will provide walks and all the cuddles!! Dogs and cats allowed on furniture if that is ok with you! Smoke free/child free home. Will send photo/video updates if you’d like!
“Patient and has a good vibe all around. Happy we went with her! We feel comfortable having her with our dog. He can be a lot but she doesn’t seem shy or uncomfortable being around him.”


“Francis cared for my cats as if they were hers. She provided photos and updates to keep me in the loop of things. My cats love her, even the one that is fairly skittish. I am a repeat client and will always book with Francis.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and truly love them more than anything. As a kid, I volunteered at shelters and even donated my lemonade stand money to Save-A-Pet. That same passion has followed me into adulthood—I’ve worked with and supported the Laguna Beach Animal Sanctuary in California, and my family has been housing and walking dogs through Rover for several years. Because of that, I’ve learned how to adapt to all kinds of personalities—from shy rescues to high-energy pups—and make each one feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or endless belly rubs, I’m happy to do whatever your pet needs to feel happy and at home. I also have a flexible schedule, so I can give your pets the consistent attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I love staying active and spending time outdoors. I make it a point to get at least 10,000 steps a day, so walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures with pets easily become part of my rhythm. I also have a very flexible schedule, which means I can give pets my full attention and adjust to their needs without rushing or cutting corners. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and routines with the same respect I’d want for my own. I make sure each pet feels comfortable and secure by keeping their normal feeding, walking, and play schedules consistent. I give lots of affection and attention, but I also pay close attention to any special instructions; whether that’s medications, preferred walking routes, or favorite toys. During overnight stays, I make sure the home stays tidy and that pets feel calm and cared for throughout the night.
About: I have been a Petco certified dog trainer since I was 18 and have dog/house sat many times since! I treat your dog like family and your home with respect! I am flexible! I am available Mondays and Thursdays all day. Saturdays I get off work at 2:00pm I work 9-5 during the rest of the days of the week. But I always need an excuse to use PTO so watching your fur baby won’t be problem! I just need a two week notice Quality time will be spent with your fur baby to make sure they keep busy. Plenty of playtime and mental stimulation. I love using puzzle toys, snuffles and other things to get a dogs mind working!
Grayslake dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sam was absolutely wonderful! We had her come by 3 times for drop in visits for breakfast & walks. The dogs seem to do great with her & I always felt comfortable + worry free when she was there! Sam was very communicative and patient, especially when we were having technical difficulties with the door. I would highly recommend Sam to anyone & everyone! Thank you Sam for taking such great care of our girls!

Chipper and Emmie absolutely loves it when Rebecca comes over each week to let them stretch their legs and play for a bit! Rebecca communicates every day when she visits and it really helps my peace of mind knowing these 2 are in good hands while I am at work!

Brittany is beyond amazing. She is one of the few people that we know we can still go on trips with the comfort of her visits. Knowing Brittany is taking expert care of our sweet, but high maintenance dog. She goes above and beyond in all she does and we are very grateful.
