“I want to gatekeep Jennifer so bad because she's so amazing! My dog slept for hours after I picked her up. Jennifer kept me informed which kept me at ease on vacay. Her communication is definitely 5⭐”


“We left our dog Babu with Carlos for 6 days and couldn’t be happier with how it went! Babu is almost 15 years old and needs some extra care, but Carlos did an amazing job making him comfortable and happy. It gave us so much peace of mind to know Babu was in such good hands. Highly recommend Carlos to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter”


About: I provide patience and presence. In other words I strive to create a space for my animals to be just animals, while bearing in mind the realities of modern life. If possible, I’d like to extend that space to your animal(s) as well. I also provide pet delivery services through CitizenShipper. I have a flexible schedule which leaves a nice amount of time each day that can be dedicated to caring for my animals. My dogs get at least one walk per day that is at least hour long, usually more. There’s also separate times for using the bathroom, playing or sunbathing. About once a week we go to a large local & not very frequented forest preserve. There they can explore and run with several potential pockets of off-leash time. Each animal staying in my home will join our “pack.” After receiving the basics of food & water, bathroom outings and exercise they will be able to develop their bond with myself and my two dogs. In other words they’ll be cared for physically, socially, and emotionally. When looking after an animal in a client’s home I will approach the interaction with the same mindset described above. But my two dogs will not be present and I will operate within the household rules set by the client.

“Michelle was a godsend when it came to taking care of my Boston pup on short notice. He had such a great time playing and hanging out with her and Princess Leia. Michelle took care of Rudy like he was her own, giving me regular updates and photos of his stay. The smile on his face said it all and we look forward to the next meetup!”


“Amira was really great and I would definitely recommend her. She was very friendly and my dog loved her! She was very thorough in making sure that she knew everything she needed to in order for my dog to have a great time with her. She made sure to keep in contact throughout the whole stay and sent plenty of photos. I also loved that she took my dog out to the park so she could enjoy some sunshine. She was overall amazing and I will be using her again whenever I go out of town!”


“Shilpa, was an absolute lifesaver! She agreed to watch our little girl at the last minute when we were trying to find someone. Snowy was initially hesitant, but Shilpa quickly won her heart with her gentle and nurturing spirit. She made her feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We're forever grateful for her exceptional care and service. We'll definitely be calling on you again! Thank you! We will definitely be calling Shilpa again.”


“Best small dog sitters out there! Pacita and Alexander take such good care of my baby girl and previously my baby boy. My puppers came home happy and exhausted cause she had so much fun! Pacita sends so many pictures and videos I never have to worry about my little girl. I’ll always use her when I travel.”


“Vanessa and Paulo were wonderful. Our Louie seemed to enjoy boarding at their place. Vanessa and Paulo asked any suggestions/instructions/advices prior to boarding and followed them with Louie’s feeding & walking schedule. The photos and videos of Louie were shared by Vanessa and Paulo and helped me see our Louie doing well. We would like to take Louie to Vanessa and Paulo again if we need.”



“Lucy loves staying at Michael’s house. The dogs have space and a great yard to run around in, and he is so good with them! The photo and video updates always put me at ease, knowing she is having a wonderful time!”

“We have used multiple Rovers over the past few years but Susan is the best we have ever used! We were on our honeymoon and got updates daily on Gus which was great because I was missing him a ton. Between the daily updates and the ice cream for dogs that Gus got regularly, we almost felt like he wasn’t going to want to come home. Susan is the best!”


“I was so relieved to find someone who genuinely loves and cares for animals. Katelyn is a fantastic pet sitter who took such good care of my dog, and she seemed so happy and content when I returned. She's a true animal lover and I highly recommend her.”


“Matilda loved her stay with Alaina and Micheal D! She came back exhausted from a ton of time playing and having fun with them and their puppy Marley. I would recommend this sitter to anyone that has a social dog of any age.”


“Billy had the best time! He didn’t even want to leave. I will continue to use this sitter. Thanks so much for the love and encouragement for Billy! Tomorrow Billy is going back for daycare ❤️😊”


About: Dogs have always been part of my life, I grew up with them and have been the go-to dog sitter for friends and neighbors for years. Whether it’s playful puppies or mellow senior dogs, I bring a calm, loving presence and treat every pup like they’re family (yes, especially the spoiled ones 🐶). I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can run, sniff, and sunbathe, and since I’m currently training for a marathon, your dog will get plenty of walks, jogs, and fresh air! I’ve also cared for dogs who need special attention like medication or gentle senior care, and I’m happy to accommodate whatever your pup needs to feel safe and at home. Also, hablo español , so I’m happy to communicate and welcome Spanish-speaking families too! For me, this isn’t just a side gig, I genuinely miss having dogs around and love the energy they bring. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and joy are my top priority. As an entrepreneur, I create my own schedule, which gives me the flexibility to provide great care. My busiest days are usually Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but even on those days, I’m still nearby and able to check in regularly. The rest of the week, I’m often home or working from my office, which is just minutes away. As long as I know in advance how long your pup will be staying with me, I can adjust my schedule to support their needs, whether that means extra walks, playtime, or simply being around for comfort and companionship. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family, and I’ll make sure their stay feels like a second home. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. At my place, I provide a calm and cozy environment with a fenced-in backyard for play and potty breaks. I keep their routine as close to home as possible from feeding times, walks, and bedtime habits. I always ask for details about your dog’s preferences, quirks, and needs so I can make their stay feel familiar and stress free. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I treat the space with deep respect, just like I would want someone to treat mine. I’ll follow your instructions to a T and keep you updated so you feel at ease while you’re away. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, I show up with love, patience, and a little extra playtime. Every dog has their own rhythm, and I’m here to honor that.
