“Jackie was amazing to work with and gave my dogs so much love! I knew when they were with her they were happy and safe. My dogs are not always the easiest to handle and she was a total pro and knew exactly what to do to make them comfortable. She was super responsive and was able to provide care for my dogs right away and super easy to work with. I will definitely be using Jackie again in the future!”

About: I am an avid pet lover and have had many dogs and cats over the past ~30 years. While raising my daughter, we had two cats and two dogs (Shitzu and Lhasa Apso), which we loved dearly. my latest dog Ralphie, passed away a couple of years ago. He unfortunately turned blind when he was just three, so I have extensive experience with senior dogs, and those with disabilities. Currently, I love to pet sit for my daughter’s dog, Scotch, in NY any chance I get. I love taking care of animals during the weekends or on my free time. I’m looking to pet-sit dogs in my home (primarily overnights and weekends). I live alone and don't currently have a pet. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. Pet care fits into my weekly routine perfectly as I work from home a couple times a week, and am available to watch dogs many weekends. I have a 2 bedroom condo with direct access to the outdoors along the golf course. Indoor space is ample for small dogs to run around inside, and my back area and neighborhood are very safe, quiet, and well separated from any main roads.
“Corai absolutely loves Maricella!! Maricella tends to special needs, interacting with Corai & protecting her based on Corai’s history of abuse. Maricella gives Corai her pill daily right down her throat, as per my instructions. Maricella is kind, compassionate, and very caring. She is ALWAYS punctual & she comes three times a day seven days a week. Maricella puts me at ease & is friendly. Highly Recommend!”
About: I'm a current college student at Harper College looking to go into Veterinary Medicine. I've had some prior experience at Ness Exotic Vet Clinic as a Veterinary Intern. I've also worked as a dog breeder assistant and kennel tech helping to maintain kennels and provide daily care for the dogs. Most importantly, I love working with animals of all kinds and caring for them. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your furry companions! I am available Monday-Thursday anytime after 12pm. Fridays I’m free pretty much all day! I’m also available on the weekends to do drop in visits. I have plenty of experience with handling, walking, playing, and cleaning. Depending on what you and your pet need, I can offer different services to help make your life a little easier.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience with almost every kind of pet personality out there. Professionally, I worked as a sales representative at Petland, where I was directly responsible for matching families with ideal animal companions and managing high-touch customer interactions daily. This role gave me hands-on, daily experience caring for, socializing, and handling young puppies, so I am incredibly comfortable with puppy energy and strict feeding routines. Beyond my professional background, I grew up with a family Beagle, and as a kid, I was the neighborhood dog walker for an American Bulldog. More recently, I’ve spent plenty of time helping a close friend look after his Australian Shepherd and Aussie mix, so I know exactly what it takes to keep up with highly active, intelligent, and working dog breeds. I’ve also owned fish, a frog, snails and lizards in the past, so I’m comfortable with specialized setups too. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt completely to whatever your pet needs. Whether you have a high-energy dog that needs a solid workout to burn off steam, a young puppy working on routines, or an older dog who prefers a quiet, relaxed neighborhood stroll, I am patient, intuitive, and dedicated. I treat every animal with the same care, respect, and safety that I give my own family pets. My current work schedule gives me a great deal of independence and flexibility throughout the week. Because I manage my own day-to-day shifts rather than a traditional desk job, I can easily plan my hours around your pet's specific needs. Whether that means stopping by for early morning check-ins, taking long mid-day walks, or providing dedicated house-sitting coverage, I build my routine around ensuring total consistency. Your pet won't have to wait around for their normal feeding times, potty breaks, or exercise. Keeping your pet safe and comfortable is my absolute top priority. When I'm caring for a pet in your home, I treat your space with total respect and keep things clean and secure. I’m very vigilant about the little details; making sure doors and gates are securely latched, keeping potential hazards completely out of reach, and following your specific house rules to the letter. When we’re out on walks, I keep a close eye on the surroundings, maintain a firm grip on the leash, and avoid unpredictable situations with other strange animals. I'm also big on communication, so I’ll always send you quick text updates and photo check-ins so you can relax knowing they are safe and having a great time.
About: I provide peace of mind when you need someone you can trust with your pet(s) and home. I am detail-oriented and an excellent communicator who keeps you updated every step of the way. . . . Here is what I bring to your pet's care: • Reliability & Trust: I treat your home with total respect. Whether managing keys, locking up securely, or sticking to precise morning and evening schedules, I am fully accountable. • Specialized Care: From shelter volunteer training to raising large breeds from puppyhood, I understand animal behavior. I am fully experienced with everyday pet needs, frequent potty breaks, and precise food or medication administration for all ages. • Multi-Pet Households: As a proud cat mom, I excel at keeping multi-pet environments structured, peaceful, and clean. . . . Pets naturally gravitate toward my calm, warm energy. Whether your pet loves having a friendly presence around the house, enjoys standard daily exercise, or thrives on a consistent routine, you can relax knowing they are truly cared for. Whether you need a consistent dog walker for your workweek or a dedicated sitter for an upcoming vacation, I am able to plan ahead and be there for you and your pet. I prioritize clear communication and structure my days around your requested schedule. Because I oversee my own weekly routine and keep an organized calendar, I never miss a beat! My Rover availability is always fully updated. I know how important your privacy and peace of mind are. How I care for your space: • Gentle Respect: I treat your home with the utmost kindness and respect, ensuring everything stays clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. • Home Care: I am very mindful of keeping doors locked, windows secure, and your keys safe. • Pet Comfort: I do regular, quiet checks to ensure your pets are happy, comfortable, and safe indoors.

“Carly did a great job and was flexible with the plans. My dog loved her. Even my maid met her and spoke how wonderful she was. Will use her again and will recommend her to anyone. Ray. Sylvan Park.”
About: I have several years of experience watching dogs and cats. It's truly more of a passion than a job! I always form a strong bond of trust and security with the pets I meet.

About: Are you looking for an experienced dog/cat/plant/fish/ sitter in the western suburbs? I have experience with dogs of all sizes and cats of many temperaments. I grew up with just about every animal you can think of and would love to meet your favorite furry/scaley/leafy friend! I’m available for drop in visits, dog walking, overnight sits, etc. I love spending time with animals and am happy to make time available when needed. I have a very active life and love being outdoors. Open availability evenings and weekends! I love to take lots of pictures and videos to send to owners! Typical activities of feeding, watering, petting, and spending time with your furry friends.
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and have been walking/sitting since high school. I have walked dogs of all sizes and even those that are reactive. I recently moved to Milwaukee from Chicago so I am used to walking dogs in busy cities! I am currently unemployed so I am fully available to help out with your pups! I also have a car here so distance to you is not a problem! My #1 priority is your pups and my safety on our walks. I will never put us in a situation that could go bad. I will also prioritize having your pup trust me on our walks so everything goes smoothly, so if possible meeting your dog prior to our first walk if I have to grab them when you aren't home.
About: Dogs are a huge part of my life. My husband and I have 3 dogs and I actively train and compete in dog sports with two of them. The other is more of a companion but I couldn't help myself and he also has a few titles. The majority of my free time is spent training my dogs, going to classes, and going to competitions. Because of that, I've gotten to know a lot of different dogs and personalities. I’m happy to follow whatever rules and routines you have at home because I know how important consistency can be. I just love dogs, understanding them, and meeting them where they are. My husband and I tag-team pet care depending on our schedules, which gives us a lot of flexibility. We’re both very attentive about making sure dogs are safe, comfortable, and cared for the way their owners would care for them. I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility for pet care. My husband and I tag-team depending on our schedules, making it easier for us to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and house-sitting throughout the week. Between the two of us, we have availability throughout most of the day and can accommodate a variety of schedules. I will do my best to keep their routine as normal and familiar as possible. I’m happy to follow your usual feeding schedule, walks, training cues, house rules, and any other routines your pet is used to. I pay close attention to each pet’s comfort level and personality and won’t force interaction if they need some time to warm up. Safety is really important to me, so I also appreciate knowing about any behaviors or tendencies I should watch for like whether your dog is an escape artist, likes to bolt through doors, is reactive to certain dogs or people, or has any other quirks that might not be obvious at first. The more I know about your pet, the better I can care for them and keep them safe. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want someone to show mine.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hoffman Estates
Sana has been fantastic taking care of my dog Rocky. He was sick the first day she started working for us and she communicated quickly, alerting me to what was going on, and followed up on his wellbeing. Fortunately, he's recovered, and Sana continues to care for him. I really appreciate her loving care for my fur baby.
Kace did a great job as our dog walker. She communicated well throughout and followed all instructions exactly as given. She handled both of my dogs with no issues, including my larger pitbull, which I really appreciated. She also made sure they were fed, had fresh water, and were well taken care of. Everything went smoothly and I felt confident leaving them in her care. I would definitely recommend Kace for future walks.
Jackie is absolutely amazing! I was extremely nervous about using/trusting rover since it was my first time using any kind of dog walking app. We did a meet and greet and she was fantastic with my two elderly boys. She was extremely gentle and let them take their time to feel her out. She sent pics and a really detailed note when taking them for their walk, which made my day! She really eased my anxiety. Overall, a great person. So happy I found her!!
We had a wonderful experience with Alina. She’s professional, thorough and handled our dog Nitchky’s routine perfectly. We really appreciate the detailed report cards after each visit. She genuinely cares about the pets she’s watching. We will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend.
Arsh was great with Zaza! I could tell as soon as he walked in that he was kind and caring. Zaza took to him immediately. Because I live in a neighborhood with no sidewalks, so that dogs have to be walked on the street, I had a fairly long list of "rules" to follow in order to keep Zaza safe from vehicles (and actually having to think through these motivated me to up my own game). Also because of having to walk in the street, I asked him to wear several forms of LED lighting after dark. He immediately understood and each time he walked her, he made sure that all of these precautions were followed. He was on time for every walk and always very congenial. I absolutely would recommend Arsh as a dog walker.
Thank you so much for your flexibility & accommodating my last minute request before my trip! I truly felt no worries while you were walking them, and knew each day they would get their exercise and go to the bathroom on their walks which gave me such relief. Wonderful to work with, will absolutely book again in the future with Oriana!! She is the best and I could tell my dogs loved her and felt comfortable with her!
