“Anna was just wonderful! She came for drop-in visits and looked after my dog and cat while we were gone for 8 days. I looked forward to seeing the photos of my sweet dog on his walks and I couldn’t believe my extremely shy cat made appearances for photos, too! We were relaxed on our vacation knowing our pets were well looked after. Thank you so very much, Anna!”

About: I have worked as a pet boarder and sitter on Rover for about a year. Having previously worked as a certified nursing assistant, I have experience as a caregiver, and one of my greatest passions is caring for pets. Dogs and cats are members of a family, and it is so important to care for them as you would any other family member. I have several years of experience boarding dogs for their owners when they have been on vacation, and have also cared for my own animals throughout my whole life. I also have experience as an animal transporter for West Hancock canine rescue, in which I would work with a team to take dogs and cats from high kill shelters to foster homes or rescues. I also have a wonderful dog I rescued, Ollie, who is friendly and likes to play with other dogs at times. I’m working part-time so have time to play with pups! And our family loves animals, so it’s a great fit for us to pet sit, and we like providing a home environment for owners who need to travel. I provide a calm, safe and fun environment for pets to play. Provide walks and let pets out regularly. I believe it’s important to attend to all feeding and medication needs as a high priority.

About: I've grown up with dogs all my life. I have sit and walked for friends and family. I don't have a pup off my at the moment, so I love any chance I can get to take care of and play with someone else's for them. I am a full-time employee but have some flexibility due to my hybrid schedule. I am most available after 4PM on weekdays and open on weekends. I'll watch any dog as if they're my own. I'm able to follow any specific instructions when visiting or walking your pup. I want them to feel as comfortable and happy as possible.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with a Bachelor's degree in Animal Sciences and hands-on experience caring for pets in both shelter and clinical settings. I started my journey working at a local animal shelter, where I cared for dogs and cats of all breeds and temperaments. Now, I work at an animal hospital, where I spend my days caring for boarded cats and dogs. I’m comfortable administering medications and handling special feeding protocols. I also understand that not every pet is easygoing, and that’s okay! I’m comfortable working with pets who may be reactive, anxious, or need a little extra patience and care to feel safe and secure. I work from 7:45 AM to 1:30 PM most days and 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM on Fridays, so I’m available for pet sitting, walks, and visits outside of those hours. Weekend hours may change depending on my work schedule for the week. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet care needs! When caring for your pets in your home, I’ll follow any instructions you provide for feeding, medication, and exercise to ensure they’re getting the care they’re accustomed to. Whether it’s a daily walk, playtime, or snuggles on the couch, I make sure to create a comfortable and safe environment for your pet. I’m also always mindful of the spaces I am in and am more than happy to clean up any messes made! If there are any special needs or behavioral concerns, I’m happy to work with them to ensure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you're away.

“Valerie was able to come let our pup out when we had a last minute change of schedule and couldn't make it back in time. She was a life saver and we will absolutely be using her services again. She took great care of Arielle and was good at communicating with us the whole time.”

“Eran was amazing! Would highly recommend and hope to have her dog sit again soon! My dog isn’t great with everyone and she loved Eran so much.”

About: Hi there! My name is Jessica. My love for dogs started at a young age. Since 16 I have been caring for dogs starting with just about everyone’s pup in my neighborhood which quickly evolved into so much more over the years. I work partially from home in marketing so I have some flexibility in my schedule. I occasionally go into the office but have flexibility on when. I am available for feeding, playing, walking, or simply keeping your pup company. I have experience with dogs of various sizes ages and breeds. I also have a dog of my own that I rescued earlier this year so I have had my fair share of first hand experience navigating puppy ownership.

“Brianna was so responsive and accommodating. She took great care of my cat and sent photos and even a sweet video. You could see that Brianna cared and did a great job! Thank you so much!”

About: Pets have always been a part of our family. We are unable to have them in the home we rent but nothing says we can’t care for yours! We have three pet friendly kids to keep your pet happy and loved and a half fenced yard. Our home is about two thousand square feet and we will go on lots of walks! I have owned several dogs, cats and reptiles over the years. My fiancé has experience with rabbits as well. This is more about having pets around us than making extra money. Your pet will be cared for and shown as much attention as they desire! We do not have a crate. Please bring whatever your pet will need. Food, snacks, toys etc. Thanks!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 15 and have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have a cat, so I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs. I’ve previously provided dog walking and house sitting services during the week, and I understand the importance of keeping pets happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every animal like family and bring years of hands-on experience to each visit. I work a full-time job Monday through Friday, but I’m available for pet care after 5 PM on weekdays and fully open on weekends. I love spending my free time with animals—it’s the perfect way to unwind and bring joy to my week. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a clean, calm, and supervised environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I never leave pets unattended outdoors and always use leashes on walks to ensure their safety.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. Watching family and friends dogs gives me great joy! Dogs have been a part of my whole life.

Love going on walks to the forest preserves out in nature. let me be your dogs new friend. I work four days a week Tuesday thru Friday until 3:30pm. I'm available for boarding Friday nights thru Monday. I can take dogs for walks on Mondays, Weekends, and Tuesday-Friday after 4. I have a big home plenty of space to run around and play. My backyard is good size and fenced in. I can update you with photos of your dog. I can maintain the feeding schedule as required. I will make sure your dog has plenty outdoor time walks or just playing in my yard.

About: I love dogs, I currently have 2 at home around the age of 5. I love taking them on walks and playing with them in the backyard. One of my dogs, Hope, loves to play with her ball but my other dog Rosie, loves to play tug with her toys and sleep under the blankets. I like to take care of animals with all different traits. I am responsible and reliable and I can help you out in a pinch or keep a regular schedule depending on your dog’s I currently go to Elmhurst University, I am a full time student. I am looking to walk dogs over the summer. I am available for one time walks or recurring. I also am available if you need someone to watch your pet while you go on vacation! I take care of dogs differently depending on their needs. I love to take dogs for long walks so they can get a ton of new smells. I also know some dogs need relaxation and pets, which I also love to provide.

“Haven did drop in visits for us when we left for the hospital to have a baby. Penny was well cared for and happy as a clam when we returned, and Haven was super flexible with us as babies tend to come on their own timelines! Thanks so much Haven for your help!”

“Cadence was so responsive in a dire need for my pup!!! She was super on it and so accommodating. She was professional, kind, warmed up my dog Baxter very quickly, and gave me great updates. Most importantly , she helped me when I was in a bit of an urgent need and made me feel so comfortable with someone taking care of Baxter so fast. I highly recommend you use her as she was fantastic!”
