“Grace is really amazing!!!! She agreed to a meet and greet at my request and once we met, I felt she would take great care of Toby. I had to reschedule the morning of the sitting and Grace was so kind and understanding and accepted the literal last hour change to the following week. When she was sitting Toby, she sent updates, pics and videos of Toby every hour. She took great care of Toby. I absolutely recommend her services and I will definitely be a repeat client.”

“Ollie's first sitting experience was a success! Nitasha and Neerav kept me updated throughout the day and sent the cutest videos. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I'll definitely be booking with them again.”

“Qiuyan and her husband take wonderful care of our dog. They are attentive, kind, and genuinely passionate about what they do. I always feel completely confident leaving my dog at their daycare, knowing she’s in great hands.”

About: Hello my name is Nicholas and I'm a pet loving, experienced dog walker. I just received my first 5 star rating. I take great pride in providing the best pet care possible for my clients. Besides having pets growing up I was the only child. So I fully understand the value of a pet as a member of the family. I'm a full time pet care provider but more over we're a family owned business. So we provide pet care in McGinley Square and in Society Hill. Essentially we walk, board, pet visit, and doggy daycare all week. Plus on holidays. We have a backyard so the guys get run some laps and get in some much needed quality time. Plus we literally take group photos. Plenty of belly rubs to give out and fresh Poland Spring for the modern active doggo.
“Starry and Gio took an amazing care of my dog Fiji! They kept me updated during the whole day and my dog had a good time with them! Highly recommend!”

“Erik was a wonderful sitter to our dog Brownie. He made us feel comfortable and at ease from the very beginning, and was great with communication and sent us photos. Brownie was happy and relaxed for pick up, which is a great testament to Erik’s care. Highly recommend. Thank you!”


“Jessica was great. She picked up and dropped off Callie for me. Callie came home so happy from her stay with Jessica. Jessica was great and gave me updated texts how Callie was doing the whole time I was gone. It's so great to know my girl was taken such good care of while I was gone all day.”

“My dog now becomes friend with Vera’s dog! Even before the day care start date she has already asked many questions for my dog to make sure everything is ready. During the day care she constantly sends my update with photos and videos. I know my dog has a wonderful stay at her home with his dog friend!”

“First time using Rover in this area, and i’m so lucky to find Chi-Wing as our dog sitter. Highly recommend! Lots of love, care, pics and videos. Dogs seem really happy after pick up. ?”

“Arthur had a wonderful time with Rainie and Loby! Rainie was super communicative and sent lots of pics and video. Really appreciate the updates and felt very comfortable with her watching Art!”

“Very happy to have found Zoe (and her husband) on Rover to take care of Noodle. From the very beginning, Zoe was professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about caring for dogs. Zoe was responsive to all the questions and concerns prior to the booking. She kept me updated with messages and photos during day care. It was clear that Noodle was well cared for and loved during his stay. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”

Reliable, kind, and caring, with great communication and regular photos/videos to keep us updated. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be using their services again!”

About: Hi there! 👋 I’m Christina, a lifelong dog lover and proud Frenchie mom. I grew up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and personalities, so caring for pups has always felt like second nature to me. For the past three years, I’ve had the joy of raising a foster dog and my own French Bulldog, Besos, who has taught me everything from the art of the perfect belly rub to the importance of daily zoomies. Whether your dog is a cuddly couch companion or a playful ball chaser, I know how important it is to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family, with patience, attention, and lots of affection. From walks and playtime to overnight stays, I’m here to make sure your pup’s routine stays consistent and they get all the care they deserve. Can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! 🐶❤️ I work from home, so I have plenty of time throughout the day to give your dog attention, walks, and care. I provide baths as needed and stick to medical routines as needed. I have a cozy crate available for medium-sized dogs and a friendly Frenchie of my own to keep your pup company, so they’ll feel safe, comfortable, and never alone while they’re here.
About: Hi all! I live in the Journal Squared apartment complex. I enjoy caring for pets outside of my corporate job and have experience looking after a variety of dog and cat breeds, from young, energetic animals to older, more mature companions. Some of the dog breeds I’ve cared for include Australian Shepherds, Corgis, Labradors, Whippets, and Yorkshire Terriers. I’ve also looked after Persian cats and my best friend’s cats, which she adopted from a cat café. With a flexible schedule, I strive to accommodate each pet’s unique needs and ensure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I’m always open to feedback and would love to hear how I can make the experience even better for you and your pet. Thank you, and I look forward to helping out! I love spending time with pets to get to know them, and will provide updates on how they’re doing. I also enjoy taking nice photos for them too :) I can take same day appointments but my availability isn’t always guaranteed. It’s best to get in touch with me more than 24 hours in advance so I can prep and take notes. My apartment is a very safe, clutter-free space for pets. My apartment building also has a 5,000 sq ft dog park with a view of Manhattan, which is super convenient for doggy play time.
About: Hi, my name is Sarah and I love dogs! I have had a dog for the majority of my life and taking care of pets has become second nature to me. My sister has a puppy (only one year old) named Cosmo and I frequently pet sit him while she's at work. Taking care of Cosmo usually entails everything from walking to feeding and even administering medication if needed. I also have a golden doodle of my own who is an absolute angel. I don't mind taking care of energetic pets or more chilled out ones. I think it is important that all pets are well looked after attentively. I enjoy being around dogs and want to provide the best quality care for them. I currently work from home so I have flexibility as to where and when I can work. I’ll have plenty of time to take care of and spend time with your pet! I have a spacious two bedroom apartment in South Loop with a dog park right around the corner! I could easily take your pet for a walk to the park and play some fetch!
“We really enjoyed having Minsie take care of my doggie! My dog had such a great time and looked so comfortable and relaxed. Minsie kept me updated with sweet photos and messages throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I also booked at the last minute, and she responded promptly, answered all my questions, and handled everything with such care and attention to detail. Highly recommend!!”
