Julie did a great job!! We have 4 dogs and we never thought we would be able to go on vacation. Now we have confidence knowing that our babies are well taken care of. We would definitely use Julie again in the future. Jeff B.

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!

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 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.

Mallory takes great care of Sasha and Sasha lives her walks and play with Mallory. We try to use her every time we aren’t able to take care of Sasha ourselves. She is great.

Debbie was great! She went above and beyond in caring for our cats. She did everything we asked and more. I really appreciate that she cleaned the used bowls even though this was not expected. When we met before the visits, she asked great questions to really understand what we and our pets needed. I will definitely schedule Debbie again in the future.

Lindsey is an excellent cat sitter. She’s super dependable, easy to communicate with, and clearly loves animals—my cat Mochi warmed up to her right away. I got regular updates from Lindsey, and everything was done perfectly according to my instructions. It’s such a relief knowing I can trust someone who treats my pet like their own. I’d recommend Lindsey to anyone who is looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter.

Stella is an instant friend with a very caring heart. Took care of my cat like he was her own family member. Stella went above and beyond by playing with him, letting him in the back yard, setting up fun snacks for him, and even bringing a delivery in the house. I highly recommend Stella to give pets the care they need!

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!!

Brianna took amazing care of my 3 kitties. They absolutely loved her. Her communication was excellent and my cats barely noticed I was even gone. She did the cutest arts and crafts projects with them, brushed them, took out the trash and left my place spotless (other than the amazing arts and crafts I came home to.) All of my instructions were followed perfectly, she never left any trash behind, and brought so many treats and toys for the kitties! She came to meet the kitties ahead of time and bonded with them so fast. I would trust Brianna with my cats in a heartbeat and I don’t even trust my parents with them.

About: I am a lifelong pet owner of 3 dogs. I have plenty of experience with dog walking, house sitting, quality and effective playtime, dealing with messy cleanups, and administering medication. I have had returning clients who trust me to always be available and happy to give their pets quality attention and care. I have worked with dogs ranging from puppy to senior and from miniature to gigantic. I’d love to connect with you and your furry companions!! Aside from dogs, I also have experience with cats, fish, and mice! I am currently working a part-time job, but hours are very limited. I usually work weekdays but am available weekends, nights, and if needed, overnight (Mon-Wed). I have reliable transportation as well. While I do not offer boarding in my own home, I am able and happy to provide my services at your own home. I have worked for many different families who I have built trust with who know that I provide safe, nurturing, and supportive care to dogs of any age and size.

About: Aside from being a previous dog owner for 9+ years, I’ve dog sit for many of my family and friends dogs over the years! I’ve never had any issues with the puperinos 😁 I have a fairly flexible work schedule that allows me to be available most mornings, early afternoon and into the evening (typically free from 3pm-8:30pm. I’m somewhat of a homebody on the weekends as well. I thoroughly enjoy the outdoors and frequent the local forest preserves in the area numerous times a week. When I was a dog owner, routine walks and interactions with people / other dogs were important. Dogs need attention and exercise, I try to make them as happy as they make us!

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs since I was little and have loved every second. I was always helping out my family’s and neighbor’s pets - and now I finally got my own puppy in August of 2025. Trained him all on my own and he is the sweetest boy! I work at a kindergarten with special education during the school year. Once June hits, I will be officially out for summer break and plan on focusing all my attention on Rover. I will have all the time on my hands to drop in and take care of your pets! My 10 month old dachshund is very well taken care of. He is my pride and joy - always getting all the cuddles and exercise he needs. I believe that all pets require the same love and attention that humans do and I treat them with that idea in mind.

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.

Aimee was great, she came over twice to let our dogs out and feed them. Even our little dog, who is a little leery of everyone, seemed to like her right away.

Great job. On time, dogs seemed contented. He also carefully observed our request that he not get his face close to Bertie's (he sometimes nips), yet managed to show him affection, etc.

Valerie was absolutely amazing with our dog during a very chaotic time for our family. We were in the middle of moving, and with all the stress and changes in the house, our dog had a couple of unexpected issues come up. Valerie handled everything calmly, confidently, and with so much care. She kept us updated, reassured us, and truly went above and beyond. We honestly could not have asked for a better sitter. We are so grateful for her!!

Haley has been incredible, this is my first experience with Rover and I had a lot of questions. Thankfully, Haley was more than equipped to answer anything and everything I asked. I have a younger dog that does bark at new people, Haley took it all in stride, moving slow, allowing for sniffs and other close investigations. Within minutes they were best friends. There is still a little barking when Haley first arrives, but my dog quickly settles down and races outside for playtime. Haley asks me what my preferences are for the dogs and always follows up to ensure that my needs are understood. I LOVE the report cards and photos after each session. Seeing my dogs happy smiling faces after she visits with them makes me feel so at ease. Very, very happy to have found her!
