“I can't say enough nice things about Josie-she is absolutely fantastic with my two dogs! She takes the time to teach them tricks and cares for them like her own. She is very thoughtful, she has cleaned up my dog's cage when they had an accident. I would highly recommend having her as a dog sitter! She is truly the best!!”


“Janay is the person to have when you are looking for a pet sitter. She took care of our 3 cats for 3 days when we were out of town. She exceeded our expectation in every aspect of what we could ask for as our cat sitter. She is friendly, honest, punctual, and communicative. Most of all she is being very nice to our cats. She treats our cats as if they are her own. When she started a drop-in service each day, she sent us numerous pictures of before and after service food/ water/ litter boxes situations. There were also pictures and videos of cats playing and having treats which let us know that the cats were doing fine. Receiving many visual aids put our mind at ease while being away from home. One of the cats has been urinating outside of litter boxes. Therefore we had to put some training pads underneath the boxes. She changed the pads every time the pads were dirty even though it was not addressed to her during our initial meeting. She did everything we asked with a smile on her face:) Overall she is very trustworthy. I would definitely hire her again without any hesitation. I would also recommend her to my friends if they are looking for a great pet sitter.”



“Akane was an amazing caregiver for Max. She stepped in when a sitter was unable to provide Max with her medication. I appreciated her responsiveness and professionalism.”


“We were so stressed with so many things going on that we forgot to get find someone for the cats. Sydney accepted our very last minute request even though she was busy. That says so much already! We love everything about her and she was so great with our two kitties! Would 💯 use her again!”


“Hayley was an excellent sitter for drop in visits. She thoroughly spoiled our senior dog with affection and treats, and was able to help with her eye drops and special hygiene needs. Hayley makes you feel reassured your pet is in good hands with many photos!”



“Ryan did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away for a week. Even though I only asked him to spend a little time with them each visit, he made sure to play with and have "cuddle time" with them so they didn't feel lonely. Also, he swept up after my cats got a little too messy, which I didn't ask for but I really appreciated! Thanks Ryan!”


“Allison is an absolute doll to have help out with our little doggies...she's kind, loving and always on time..I completely trust and appreciate all of her time she has spent with our pups!”


About: I’ve always had pets of my own and love to give them the best care of their needs, whether it’s love & affection to mental or physical stimulation, I’m ready to enjoy the day with them, Your pup will have so much fun with my dog (Oreo) & I. We hike daily and if your pup is active, they are more than welcome to join us on any hikes that we do! Or if they just like simple short walks that’s great too! I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible, as long as I know ahead of time, we can work out a schedule that works out! I have a fenced in yard for bathroom breaks or for play time. If your dog is crate trained during the night and you wish to continue, I have medium size crate but you are welcome to drop off their own crate with them, if they like to rest in their own crate, otherwise they are free to roam around the house and rest anywhere! Does your dog have any allergies to food/other things? or is reactive with another dog, or around food? • please let me know in advance so I can take precautions. I love updates of what my pup is doing throughout the day, when I’m not with her, so if you love getting updates of pictures of your pup throughout the day or at the end of the day just let me know!

“First time with Riley and she was absolutely great. Wonderfully detailed updates and super dependable. She took great care of my cats and even my place! I came back to a litter-free space and even my dishes done. On top of all that, my cats absolutely love her! (: Highly recommend.”


“Daniel is fantastic! Although he is new to Rover, he clearly has a lot of experience with pet-sitting. He took wonderful care of our senior dog and cats. Daniel expertly used all of the features of the Rover website, to include logging check-in and check-out times, GPS tracking for walks, and report cards with photos for every visit. I have never had a sitter this thorough before. Speaking of photos, he took some great quality shots of our pets. I hope Daniel is available to sit for our next vacation, because I plan to be a repeat customer.”

“Couldn’t be happier with Madi! She came over everyday, stayed the entire time she was supposed too, and took care of my cat with no issues! She was responsive and will be using her again! Thanks!”


About: Born & raised around dogs and cats. I understand how important they are & how they’re family more than anything. I’ve taken care of dogs from German Shepard’s to Labradors to Miniature Poodles etc. I’ve taken care of older dogs who need to take medicine and younger dogs who need to be house trained. Seen it all! I go on walks throughout the day & make sure food & water & temperature is all good. I work very close to home, so I am able to come home for lunch if necessary. Activity outside is just as important for animals as it is for humans. I live close to a fenced dog park & take toys with me for playtime!!

About: I am both a devoted animal lover and trusted, verified pet caretaker with over five years of serving with Wag and more than seven as an independent contractor. I have over 400 5-star ratings with Wag and was voted in the Top Ten of all Pet Caretakers in the Chicagoland area in 2017. The time your animal(s) spends with me will be full of new smells, long hikes, and sweet cuddles. I am more than a dog walker or house sitter but a best friend to yours. I am insured through Wag as a verified pet caretaker/house sitter. My first priority is always safety, health, and hygiene. As your chosen pet caretaker, I consider myself responsible not only for the well-being of your animal(s) but also the maintenance of your home and ensuing materials (e.g. leashes, dog park passes, house keys). As a graduate from the University of Denver with a Bachelor’s of Arts in Communications, I prioritize professionalism in my bookings through unmatched customer service with photos/videos and other reporting updates. Please feel free to request my resume or professional references for further consideration. I maintain a flexible portfolio of ten to twenty recurring clients and I am often able to schedule within a week's notice with new clients. Whether I am sitting in your home or boarding in my own, I make sure to maintain the rules and expectations that you animal is used to. I prioritize a clean environment and will be with your animal almost every moment of our booking, leaving animals for only two hours at a time tops. I arrange my schedule to ensure I am playing, cuddling, working out, and feeding your pet for the entirety of our booking.
