“Cheyenne really came through on this Christmas break! She was responsive and responsible and allowed us to have a great time without worrying!”


2. Kristin P.

“Kristen is wonderful with my German Shepard. Kristen treated her as if she was her own pet. I am very lucky to find a great Rover walker for my pet. I would definitely recommend her and use her services on the future!”


3. Erica S.

“Erica has babysat our cat Domino in our home several times now. Domino is a cat that we took several months to rescue earlier this year. Consequently, she is shy and a bit skittish around new people. She bonded with Erica almost immediately! Erica has two cats of her own, so she knows a lot about them and their finicky nature. Erica has a warm and caring nature that comes across in the way that she communicates with Domino. She calls Domino her niece! Erica is fastidious with Domino’s litter box and feeds her twice daily. She sends us regular posts and updates regarding Domino’s antics. Erica spends time with Domino and plays with her. We miss Domino when we are gone, but never worry that she will be too lonely without us. We feel secure when we are away. We trust Erica with having the keys to our home. We have the utmost confidence that Erica will take great care of our fur baby.”

About: I have two German Shepherds of my own I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15. As a dedicated dog lover with many years of experience, I understand that your pet is more than just an animal, they’re a beloved member of your family. I offer unique blend of care, qualifications and extras to ensure your furry friend will have a great time as you do while you’re away. I believe every dog is special, with their own quirks and needs. That’s why I offer tailored experiences based on your dog’s personality, age, and energy level. I provide the perfect balance of playtime, cuddles, and rest. I'm currently working part time and have plenty of time to care for your fur babies, play with them and meet all of their needs. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs. If at your home I will hang out, play and give your pups all the attention. If you need me to crate your dog or give medication I can do that too.


5. Victoria A.
“Tori is an amazing person. I have known her personally for many years but she started taking care of my fur babies about two years ago. They love her. I have a very skittish dog that will not warm up to anyone and Tori can get him to go outside for her, snuggle with her, etc. She is very loving, LOVES animals and will make sure your babies are taken care of. I know my animals can cause messes (I have 4 of them) and I always come back to my house clean and no sign of any messes (which I know she is covering for them). :) I would highly recommend Tori to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She will take care of them as if they are her own.”

“Paris is very collaborative, flexible, and helpful.”


7. Sammi F.

“Sammi is great and our dog liked her right away! She took lots of great pictures and kept us up informed of how our dog was doing every visit. She also made sure he had his medication and got a good walk in every time. We highly recommend!!”


8. Nicole M.
“Niki is a wonderful non-binary pet mom to 2 birds, 2 dogs, and a leopard gecko. They are well versed in dog care such as training exercises, feeding & nutrition, walks, grooming, and giving medications. Percy the leopard gecko is well cared for with meticulous precision and careful handling based on the most up-to-date reptile care, including habitat design and nutrition. Niki is well-versed in bird behavior and care, including giving medication, handling, feeding, and enrichment activities. Niki has also worked with horses, amphibians, and other kinds of reptiles. They are always diligent and compassionate in their care and thorough with research from credible sources when there is something new to them. Definitely hire them!!!”




9. Cindy H.

“I’m so happy we were referred to Cindy! Today was the first time she was helped us and my dog turned into a hot mess :) Poor Cindy was just going to let her out for 30 minutes so she wouldn’t be in the crate too long without a break. Instead, due to a serious of minor mishaps our girl caused, Cindy ended up having to clean up multiple messes (in an unfamiliar house no less) and then took her for a walk to calm her down and get her back in the crate without stressing her out. She filled me in on everything that happened and even offered to check on her again before we got home, if we needed. She was so nice despite all the chaos and even complimented our Belle (she’s a handful, but a sweet one!) I highly recommend Cindy!!”


10. Alexi W.
“Hi! This is Chloe, sister and best friend of Alexi. She works as a full time nanny 10 hours 4 days a week and sometimes stays overnight when the parents are out of town. The kids absolutely adore her, I’ve met the kids a bunch Alexi sometimes brought them over to her house because the kids wanted to see all of her cats. They are so well mannered and so funny. She teaches the kids to be polite outspoken and respectful to everything and themselves. In my opinion it’s harder to “train” a child than a dog lol. Alexi and I grew up with dogs as me and my mother were both allergic to cats (still am but we suffer because they are such cuties, now we have 5). We grew up loving animals and still do sometimes we will spend hours talking about what dogs and cats we want as pets in the future. Mine and Alexis cousin Raven lost her house due to unfortunate circumstances and she went to Alexi to see if she can foster her animals. One of Ravens cats came to Alexi’s with a huge rash on her stomach, after a week of care at Alexis the rash is all gone and the cat is full of loving. Alexi always treats every animal as her own and has walked dogs and cats from time to time. Picking Alexi to take care of your pets would be the best thing you do for them!”


11. Donta W.
About: I'm a learning and beginning new pet sitter as I taken care of cats before but it was just my own pets love much k It's definitely fits in my scheduling much easier as I'm usually very flexible on the days of Sunday through Tuesday and can easily adjust and do texting exercise towards my other goals I pay attention in 10 to them like any person would with toddlers as they basically are like children that needs attention every once in awhile to make sure they're not doing anything that can harm themselves without knowing or end up causing anything of a mess




12. Stefanie B.

“Stefanie did a terrific job for us, all round. Friendly, professional, communicative, great with the cats - we'll always try to book her first in future.”


13. Paris M.
“Chris and Paris are the perfect dog sitters. My dog Mazal loved hanging out in their backyard, and got lots of love and attention from them and their two kids. He is a very active dog so it was nice that they went to the forest preserve daily. I loved getting all the pictures during the day. I am definitely going to use them again.”


14. Ashley H.
“I have known Ash for many years. Ash is the most trustworthy, reliable, and caring person when it comes to animals of all kinds (and humans). At the most, Ash has cared for my 6 cats (1 needing medicine), 1 rabbit and 1 dog all at once and has done so many times. Ash has even cared for fish (feeding, cleaning tanks). Ash has a heart of gold and takes tremendous care with all animals. I highly recommend her/they/them.”

16. Kiera K.

About: Hi my name is Kiera. I am 26 years old and live in Mokena Illinois. I am currently a teacher with my masters in education. I have been active in taking care of dogs for 10 years. For four years i volunteered at NAWS animal shelter in Mokena where i walked and scoialized with both cats and dogs. Also in that time i fostered 4 dogs til they could find proper homes. Therefore i believe i am qualified to take care of your wonderful dog(s). I currently have one golden retriever (Nala) 2 cats (Odin and Mozzie) and a ball python (Snickers). I am really looking forward to meeting all the furry friends in the area and cant wait too meet them. Any dog is my kind of dog. Since I am a teacher I am usually busy during the week. However, I am sometimes available in evenings and mostly available on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard however my dog is picky and prefers walks over being let out into the fenced yard. Therefore she is walked by my family every morning and evening.

About: I’m a dog groomer in Illinois- looking forward to getting my cat grooming certification. Currently have experience handling breeds of all sizes and temperaments.

Would be able to dedicate my full nights and mornings to your animals ❤️ When I am in a pet parent’s home I am very mindful of the rules and routines they set for their pets. I am there to not only keep the routines-but also make the pets feel comfy, loved, and safe when their families are away
