3. Christopher R.
“Chris was amazing, and I’d highly recommend him to anyone needing dog sitting. My pups took to him immediately, and got excited when he’d come over to walk them. They really enjoyed the special attention he gave them, and he was great at giving me updates during my very long business trip. I felt my dogs were in the best hands! Thanks, Chris!!”
4. Anna N.
“This was my first time EVER using a dog sitter and Anna helped me to feel so much better during this process. I had a lot of anxiety worrying about him but she provided updates and completed every visit. My biggest worry was booking a sitter and them not showing up, but she did every time and in a timely manner. You could tell she loved dogs and she has 2 sweet little girls that love them too so my dog got extra attention on visits. My big dog loves kids so this worked out well! I guess that could be the only issue with other clients, if your dogs don’t prefer children, but I personally have no hesitations to book her again!”

About: I've been around dogs since I've had a working memory. From friend's, family's, neighbor's to my own I've watched and cared for many different dogs of many different sizes and needs. Dogs are a joy and a privilege to care for and deserve the best. I've worked with pups to pops and enjoy both :) I currently work full time working with children that have autism so that takes up a bit of my time. I'm unavailable mornings but free after 4pm. Whether your pet/pets just need to be fed/let out or walked I'm sure I'll find time after work on weekdays or during my open weekends to care for them. If I'm pet sitting, I'm able to stay in you're home and give your pets all the attention they could dream of. Chill, lazy dog? Nothing like relaxing outside or watching TV getting pets and cuddles. Adventurous hounds? Lots of walks and play. I tailor the pet care your fur babies need to fit their lives and personalities. I work 1:1 with pet families so that your pets get all of my attention.
15. Stephanie K.
“I don’t trust many people with my dog, but Stephanie is one of the few! She was amazing & it allowed us to be able to enjoy our vacation stress free. We will definitely be using Stephanie again for our next trip. We can’t thank her enough for treating our dog, Summer, exactly how we do.”
16. Joy J.
“Thanks for taking great care of Winnie and Arlo!”
17. Ally K.
“Ally has been helping me care for my animals since I moved to Illinois in October of 2022. Ally is dependable, incredibly kind, and most of all an avid animal lover. Whether it was helping feed my animals dinner or staying at my home for a weekend while I was out of town, Ally was able to provide excellent care to my pets and stay in touch with me while I was away. Ally seems to approach pet care as if she was caring for her own pets - that is to say she always has an unconditional love for the animals she works with and loves to ensure they are safe and happy. I recommend Ally to anyone looking for a solid, dependable, and loving care taker for their pets! She’s truly amazing!”
18. Emily M.
“Emily did a great job with 2/day drop-ins for our dog while we were on vacation. She was on-time and provided caring attention with reports and photos. She was also flexible with added and revised schedule changes as needed. We would book her again and recommend her highly to others!”
19. Taylor C.
“You couldn’t ask for a better caregiver than Taylor…she loves all pets… she is dependable, sensitive and trustworthy. Taylor would petsit my dog every now and then. My dog loved Taylor. My dog is deaf and Taylor was so patient with her… I would still use her service but I moved away. I believe animals know when people love them. Plus she has two kittens and a dog and grew up with pets. I highly recommend Taylor for Rover. Sincerely Debi P.”
