“We had an excellent experience with Malcomn while visiting Chicago! He took amazing care of our two large dogs, keeping them happy, exercised, and loved while we were away. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”


“Taryn will always be our go-to sitter! I get frequent updates (which make me feel better) while we are gone and I can tell my pups love her. Thanks Taryn!!”


“Alexa did a wonderful job taking care of our dog in our home over a long holiday weekend. She was communicative, made sure Beau got his walks and play time, left our home clean and our dog happy. She followed our instructions on everything and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. We hope our dog wasn’t too crazy for her, but we would gladly welcome her back! So grateful we found Alexa.”


“Anais is an incredible dog sitter and she truly went above and beyond, leaving our house so much better than she found it. Maple adores her and we would love to have her back!”


“Andrew is a godsend. We've had him to sit for our Rhodesian ridgeback and our Staffy twice, for 4 days and 10 days, respectively, and we have both times come back to 2 happy and healthy dogs, who looked at us like we had only been gone a short while. They had neither gained stress weight nor become too skinny, and we could tell Andrew had been diligent taking them out frequently. He had mixed in their favorite food toppers and given them their medicine as we asked. He is a kind person, and you can tell he thinks deeply about things, and people's and pets' feelings. He even swept and tidied up, got our mail from our mailbox, and had our packages all neatly inside. He is as the proverb says, a good traveler who leaves no mark, leaving our house exactly as, if not better than, he found it. I can't say enough about the peace of mind Andrew has given us, especially the second time, since we already knew we could trust him. We were able to go to Disney World and have a truly magical time because we knew he was caring for our dogs and our house as we would have done.”


“Rob watched our two pets on a long weekend and was great. We love a lot of communication - and he kept us posted and sent us many pictures. Very professional and our pets loved him. We would definitely recommend!”

“Daniela did a great job. She was very loving to my dogs and I appreciated that she spent so much time with them. She also left my house very clean! She really had a bond with them and I can tell she really loves animals.”


“This was our first time using Rover. This option was way better than doing boarding. Our dogs got to remain at home comfortable with David. A week long vacation without having to worry about them was amazing. I loved the multiple pictures throughout the day. We will be definitely using David again he was awesome.”


“Moria was awesome! We got a lot of pictures and they were clearly thoughtful and considerate of our space.”


“My Dog Dottie loved Ava! Dottie has tons of energy and Ava spoiled her with long walks and lots of dog park trips. I felt so relieved that my pup was in great hands. Ava sent lots of pictures and updates and left the house nicer than she found it. The best! Already booking her again”


“Vanessa is a wonderful sitter. My pets loved her, she noticed little things about my dogs that show how much attention she was showing them. She is a great communicator and sent a lot of photos during the stay.”


About: I have many years of pet care experience. As long as I have had a pet I have always treated them like family. If you know me you know that pets are my entire life. Let me be one of your pet’s best friend. I go to school online full time from home during the school year. I am currently available to play with your pet(s), feed and walk them Monday through Friday. I will respect all of my clients rules if I am pet sitting in their home. I will do my best to accommodate my clients rules for pet sitting at my home. I am very respectful and want my clients to know that I am here for them and their pet(s).

About: I have taken care of other dogs before and dog-sat for neighbors before. I work from home so am able to watch dogs and do extended stays. I work from home and am able to be attentive to pets and my surroundings. I also am able to take breaks from my computer in more spurts as well. I provide a warm environment and listen to dog owners to not break up the dog's routine. Bad habits can begin to form in a short amount of time and do not want to start them under my watch.

About: I have taken care of many different personalities of cats and small dogs since I was growing up. I appreciate their character and would love to meet your family pet. I work from home, also flex, so I would be able to pop in during the morning, lunch and afternoon if need be. I am flexible to the needs of your family and believe in clear communication. I would appreciate a quick meeting with you and your fur baby so I can see how you would like everything provided. It can be as detailed as you like, I take diligent notes to ensure everything per your standards.

About: Hi there! I’m Danae, your friendly neighborhood pet sitter! 🐶🐱🐾 Looking for someone who treats your pet like family? Look no more, that’s me. Whether your pet is a nap-loving cuddle machine or a playful tornado, I’ve got the energy and patience to match. I’m here to give your furry family member the best time ever from belly rubs and cuddles to play time and walks outside in the fresh air. I’m all about the pets living their best life with comfort and fun. I have experience caring for pups, kittens, adults, senior fur babies, and have cared for pet pairs and multiple siblings at the same time. Whether it’s a simple check-in or an overnight stay, I tailor every visit to your pet’s vibe, paying close attention to their unique personalities, routines, and needs. Whether your pet loves playing fetch or prefers watching birds from a window I bring positive energy, compassion, and a whole lot of joy to every pet I care for. My approach is nurturing, patient, fun, and detail-oriented. I provide reliable care with daily updates, adorable pet pics, and clear communication so you can feel stress-free, confident, and connected while you’re away. I'm committed to making sure that you and your fur baby have the best experience ever, and I look forward to meeting you both! I am self-employed, so I am super flexible and will have plenty of time to care for your fur baby, whether it's daily check-ins or overnight stays. I am available to book 7 days a week. When your pet is in my care, their safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my top priorities. I take time to earn your pet’s trust—never rushing interactions, always moving at their pace. Home Safety I make sure doors, gates, and entry points are secured at all times, and I monitor your pet closely during walks or outdoor time. For pets with special needs, medications, or dietary requirements, I follow instructions carefully and communicate openly so nothing is missed. Aggressive or Violent Behavior The safety of all pets, people, and myself is my top priority. For this reason, I am unable to accept pets that display aggressive, violent, or unsafe behavior, including biting, lunging, or other threatening actions toward humans or other animals. Health & Parasites As protection for health and safety, all pets must be: • Free from fleas, ticks, mites, and have no contagious illnesses • Current on vaccinations (or have valid titer test documentation) Harness & Leash Safety For the safety of your pet, other animals, and the public, I require that all dogs be provided with a secure, well-fitted, and durable harness and leash for walks. You’ll always be kept in the loop with regular updates and photos, because trust goes both ways. My goal is for you to feel confident, and for your pet to feel calm, loved, and completely cared for until you return.

I am the ultimate dog lover and will treat your dog like family. I keep my dog healthy with lots of snuggles and daily walks. Your dog will receive that same care that my Fur baby receives. I can also accommodate more than one pet; the more the merrier. You can call any time to check on your baby. I am always available to talk. I have a big fenced yard and a cozy home. Your dog will always be welcomed on my lap and couch. ❤️ Since I work from home full time I have lots of time to hang out with the dogs in my yard. They are like my little coworkers! I usually take the dogs on 2 walks a day but if you have a preference on more or less, I can do that. How do I ensure your dog is safe during their visit? I have a small friendly chihuahua. He loves making new friends and sharing his toys. My yard is treated monthly for fleas and ticks (All pet friendly treatments). The yard is secure with a tall fence and no gaps. My dog is up to date with his vaccines. Please let me know if your furbaby has a set schedule if not they will follow our routine. They get plenty of supervised play time and potty breaks throughout the day. I regularly vacuum and mop my house. All furniture also gets vacuumed daily. I use pet friendly flea prevention methods inside and outside my house. We get our house and yard professionally treated to avoid ticks and fleas. But I ask that you also keep your pet on flea preventatives. All dogs that come in must be vaccinated. Please do not bring your pup if they are showing any symptoms.

Christine S.
“Christine S is one of few individuals that I can honestly say is the very epitome of kindness. She is also the only person I trust with watching my dog when I need someone to. The relationship she has with her dog, chocolatè, can only be described as a motherly loving relationship. The bonds she builds with both people and animals are both amazing and a mystery. I believe the bonds she builds with both pets and people is a trait, all owners of pets, including myself, should aspire to obtain and develop.”
