About: If you’re looking for someone who absolutely adores animals AND is responsible/ reliable then I am your gal! I have a profound love and respect for any animal and would love to share my services/experience with you! I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was in diapers and have developed such a deep respect and love for any pet I’ve come across. I’ve had cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, fish, you name it! I’ve raised the majority of them from their baby stage such as their puppy/kitten stage. I also have had the pleasure of giving them a beautiful life and led them into their senior stage. I also volunteer at cat shelters and have pet sat for friends and family members. I make it a priority to provide a safe and welcoming environment so any pet under my care can feel comfortable with me. I also love to play for whatever time your pet needs and give joy to every pet under my care. My past clients would describe me as very reliable, patient, warm, and very flexible and understanding of certain needs your pet may have. I understand every furry friend is unique and different from one another so any accommodation or request you may have, I am more than open to adjusting! I currently have three of my own. I have a husky, shih tzu and a Siamese cat! So I have a very broad experience with different sized pets and I’ve enjoyed every second of it. I have a very open and flexible schedule and I would love to provide my services to you! I am currently off work as I work with the local district so summer time allows me to have a very open/flexible schedule. I can do weekdays and weekends including holidays! I’m available from 9am to late at night. Weekends include anytime after 6pm. I have a gated porch with lots of room for play and a quiet calm neighborhood for long walks and quality time with your pet. I can also administer medication and crate or provide any instructions left by the owner.
“Sofia was very communicative and attentive. I loved all the photos and updates and was able to enjoy my trip more knowing the boys were well taken care of. Thank you Sofia!”
About: Hi! I’m based in Highland Park and offer reliable dog walking and drop-in visits for pups who need some extra care while you’re away. I live with my sweet 1-year-old German Shepherd mix, Bennie — he’s gentle, playful, and great with other dogs. That said, I’m totally fine leaving Bennie at home if your dog is more reactive or just needs one-on-one attention. I want every dog to feel safe and comfortable. I’ve worked as a professional nanny and au pair for over 10 years and have cared for pets along the way. I’m responsible, calm, and truly love animals. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, playtime, or a nice long walk, I’ve got you covered! Let me know how I can help care for your dog! * currently not taking in any dogs for boarding or day care - drop ins and walks still available! I work from home fulltime, so I have lots of flexibility to care for your pup. I’m available for full day or overnight boarding. Your dog will get plenty of attention, exercise, and love throughout the day, and will never be left alone for long. With my sweet dog Bennie around, your pup will have a buddy to hang with and enjoy lots of playtime! I provide a calm, dog friendly space in my Highland Park apartment. I have a large outdoor patio where the pups can play. My sweet dog Bennie is always around for company, and I do slow, thoughtful introductions to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed or requested, and I always follow your care instructions closely to make sure your pet feels at home.
“Autumn was so great and will definitely be booking again! They were easy to communicate with and schedule a time to meet up. They left a very sweet summary of the visit showing that they spent time getting to know my cat, too, which I appreciated!”
About: I discovered my love for dogs (relatively) later in life, when my parents adopted a sweet middle-aged mutt when I went to college! Since then, I have adored dogs and in addition to caring for my family dog on school breaks I’ve been petsitting (in my home and others’) for friends and friends of friends over the past few years. I enjoy getting to know the personality of each animal and catering to it, whether that means long walks or long cuddle sessions on the couch. I love all dogs, but due to a bad personal experience with a pit bull, I prefer to work with other breeds. I’m a freelance writer and in between jobs I am at home and available to care for your pet on whatever schedule you prefer. My only recurring conflicts are comedy shows I perform in at night but they rarely go longer than 2 hours. I live in an ADU that is a tiny home so dogs on the smaller side will be more comfortable there. I have room for a crate but sleep in a bunk bed, so if your dog prefers sleeping with a person, a dog I can comfortably lift in and out may be better (I’ve done it before with a Cavapoo). In a client’s home any size of dog is fine, I just want to know the house rules for both me and the dog to follow and if it’s a long sit check out the space beforehand.
About: I've cared for dogs, cats, and other animals, walked and trained my own pets, and even helped with labor - gentle, experienced, and reliable care! Active student starting community college this summer. I run daily, exercise, and have open availability all week. reliable, energetic, and ready to help your pet. I will only be doing pet walking and pop ins I can't sit at my own place because we have other dogs and there are already to many and they aren't as friendly.
“MT was a fantastic care taker for my two cats! They were timely, attentive, easily managed all instructions I shared and (bonus!) took amazing photos of “the boys”. MT is just an all-around pleasure to work with and I came home to two very happy animals!”
“Emily was an excellent communicator and consistent with her check-in times and care. We have an elderly cat and I immediately trusted that she was in good hands with Emily. It was a pleasure meeting her through Rover and I would definitely work with her again!”
About: My name is Andrew and I have been taking care of dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments my entire life. Like everyone else on here, I love dogs! What sets me apart is that I currently do this Full-Time and can provide a reliable ongoing service that you can depend on. Safety, attentiveness, and following your instructions are always my #1 priority when it comes to caring for dogs. When on walks, I always keep my distance from other people and other dogs just to ensure safety and avoid potential conflicts. If your dog pulls, I am familiar with gentle leaders, and experienced in handling aggressive behaviors. For new clients, I encourage meet and greets so that your dog and I can familiarize ourselves with each other and make your dog more comfortable being in my care for the first time. I also bring my own poop bags and high-value treats with me at all times just in case you run out :) Thank you so much for checking out my profile and I hope to hear from you soon! I currently do dog walking and drop-in visits full-time and can provide an ongoing reliable service. Therefore my schedule is very flexible with the goal of being able to be there for you and your pet at all times. Safety and trust combined is my #1 priority with all dog care. This means that when I take dogs out in public I will always ensure that I maintain a safe distance from other people and animals unless specifically instructed by the pet owner to do otherwise. Even if your dog is friendly to other dogs, I prefer to maintain a safe distance to avoid any potential conflicts or aggression shown by other dogs, as well as limiting exposure to fleas.

Ellen L.
“Ellen is hands down the best dog sitter we've ever worked with! When we needed extended puppy care last summer, she provided exceptional pet sitting services that exceeded all our expectations. Our puppy Disco was full of energy and needed constant attention, and Ellen was absolutely amazing with puppies. She kept our girl physically and mentally stimulated throughout the day with engaging play sessions and activities - exactly what high-energy breeds require. As an experienced dog walker and pet caregiver, Ellen clearly understands different breed needs and tailors her approach accordingly. Communication is so important when you're away, and Ellen delivered outstanding pet sitting communication. She sent regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind during our trip. Ellen provided overnight pet sitting at our apartment, and we came home to find our place in even better condition than when we left! She's incredibly responsible, trustworthy, and treats your home with the utmost respect. This level of reliable pet care is rare to find. Ellen is always our first call for dog sitting services, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, professional pet sitter.”

Highland Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
We are so happy with the care Tianfan gave our cat. She was consistent and reliable. She also provided many updates and pictures. It was great to have our cat in good care and helped us to have so many pictures when we were missing the cat.
Ai-ling was awesome! Penny took to her right away which is rare and she was very detailed and personable. I will for sure be scheduling her in the future for Penny
Jessica was amazing! Our cats, Zoxie and Pickles, seemed to really like her and we got some wonderful photos of them while we were gone. We had a great trip knowing our babies were well taken care of!
Felice was very helpful in providing detailed updates on Floyd and always arrived on time and stayed at least the duration. We really appreciated her support and would definitely use her again
Ella was excellent! She helped us out a lot and the cats were happy and not stressed on our return <3
Ingrid was great with my cat for a long weekend, and provided detailed updates and great photos, followed all instructions, and was very pleasant to work with! Will book again :)
Emily has been our sitter multiple times and we are so grateful to have found a dependable sitter who goes the extra mile to make sure our cats are cared for and attentive to each of their needs.
As always, MT is the best. I always feel better leaving for a trip knowing my cats are in such good hands. The cat who spends most of the time under the bed, came out for MT. The cats are always calm and happy when I return. So grateful for MT!
We’ve used Emily multiple times for checking in on our two dogs while we’re away and she is the absolute best - great communication, pictures, and always shows our dogs lots of love. We hope to keep using her for our future travel and we know our dogs love her as well!
Alejandro is very responsible, always walks for the full time, gives excellent reports and goes above and beyond when something happens (dog pukes inside the house etc.)!! And the dogs really enjoy him.
We’ve booked repeatedly with Sofia because she’s dependable, keeps things clean, communicates beautifully and we trust her with our pet! This time was no exception. Thank you!!
Tracy saved the day this weekend. I had my usual sitter fall through last minute because of an emergency and was scrambling to find a solution to take care of my 1.5 year old puppy. She’s still getting used to being alone and meeting new people and Tracy was able to meet our puppy alone and help her become comfortable with her in just one visit. She came with high value treats and kindness and when I would come home, I could tell our little angel had a good day. Tracy was very accommodating, communicative, and so helpful. Thank you Tracy!
Anastasia is absolutely incredible! Very patient and understanding of Alice’s taking a little to warm up. Very compassionate and detailed oriented! Thank you for taking care of Alice! I know she’s well taken care of when you come by. Alice is always cautious and nervous, but she warmed up pretty fast!! Trust and believe your babies are in good hands and very well taken care of with Anastasia! Truly treats Alice’s as a child or as if she’s hers too! Thank you!!!
The best one!!! She did everything that I’ve requested, even took care of my plants 🌷. She will be my n.1 cat sitter!
really communicative and took great care of my kitties! even my kitty who typically hides came out for her
What a pleasant experience it was having Brittany watch our two dogs while we were out of town. Her communication, care and being on time really helped us be at ease. Will definitely book her again! Thank you Brittany!
Mike is 💯 reliable. Came home from a long weekend and was greeted by my two happy, healthy, well-fed kitties. Definitely will be calling on Mike again.
Kathy is truly the best of the best! Responsible, prompt, caring, and just overall the most reliable. We had a sitter quit in the middle of the night while we were across the country and Kathy was able to squeeze in several days of last minute care. Not only was she reliable but her care of our special needs dog is really skillful. She is the perfect combination of gentle and caring but also confident and direct with our dog, which creates a safe and stable relationship for our pup. I couldn’t recommend her more but also don’t want to because she might get too busy to be available! 😊😊
Judith has been caring for our pets for a few years now and she is always so attentive and caring to them. Judith played with my cat every day. My cat was in very good spirits when we got home, and that's not always the case! Thank you Judith!
Haley was a godsend! I had to leave my brand new special needs kitty (CH) for a work meeting and she couldn’t have been in better hands. Desi was so relaxed and happy and cozy (amazing considering the shelter had described her as highly stressed) and probably didn’t miss me at all! It’s great to have someone you can trust with your fur babies in general, but especially when they have unique moods, meds, etc. I will definitely be asking Haley back!
