“Milo was so great with our babies! He was really responsive and all of them were so happy when we got home. Our cat had surgery a week ago, and we felt very comfortable leaving him at home under the care of Milo.”

“Amy was awesome!! She took such great care of Balto and he really liked her! She sent so many photos and videos and kept in touch throughout the weekend. 10/10 Will book again!”
About: Growing up, spent summers in Mexico on my grandpa’s farm surrounded by livestock, sheep dogs, lap dogs and street dogs. Love to ride and experienced handling horses. Well-acquainted w animal behavior. Own a Shepard mix—Galilea, reformed Mexican street dog rescued as a 3 moth old puppy and also adopted a cockapoo named Pepe. Have lived around dogs my entire life—won’t go a day without one shadowing my every step. Resigned my job as teacher assistant to work my way to law school. Focused on passing my State Court Interpreter Exam in July. For fun: run marathons, don’t mind sun, rain, or snow. Naturally outdoorsy & active. Definitely don’t take commitment lightly, being trusted w your pet is a privilege. Every animal is unique and enjoy discovering their distinct personality
“Fallon did a great job housesitting my three dogs. She sent me updates and photos all day. She is very caring and responsive. I will def use her help in the future and highly recommend her.”

“Tanya provided exceptional care for our cat and two dogs while staying over a long holiday weekend in our home. She asked excellent questions during our "meet and greet," so when it came time for us to leave our animals we knew they were in good hands. She arrived to house sit early afternoon on Friday and left late on Monday to accommodate our travel schedule. Our animals each have particular needs and personality quirks. For instance, we have one high energy dog that requires oral medication, frequent potty breaks, and long walks. Our other dog is content sleeping all day and needs to be convinced to take short walks! Plus, the energetic dog will eat the lazy dog's food if given the opportunity, so we feed them separately. Then, our cat is low maintenance, but still needs food, water, affection, and to have her box cleaned daily. Finally, the dogs wake up at 5am for breakfast (whether we're awake or not). Caring for the three of them is a lot of work and Tanya did a great job attending to their needs! We came home from vacation to happy, heathy pets and a clean house. We could not have asked for a better pet sitter. I highly recommend Tanya and would absolutely employ her services again.”

“Briana was great, I've asked her to sit for my two clingy pitties multiple times and they are clearly comfortable and happy having her take care of them. And I'll be happy to call her back next time I need a sitter!”

“Michelle is incredible! She helped us immensely by caring for our pupper in home while we enjoyed a weekend away. Having recently moved, It was important for us to keep our pup less stressed in a familiar environment - Michelle totally understood and approached Finley with patience and KINDNESS!! Michelle sent the best photos of our little man and I knew he was in excellent hands. Michelle is an animal whisperer and we are just so glad to have found her 🥹 ty Michelle!!!!!”

“Patrick housesat and watched our dog and kitten over the Christmas holidays. He sent us daily photos and prompt messages. On very short notice he was able to stay an extra night due to our travel delays. We would definitely schedule again for any future pet sitting 😊”

About: Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to care for their pet family members for years and I have recently decided to expand my services through Rover! With over 20 years experience caring for cats, and dogs from small to large, I have enjoyed the connections made with each and every one of these sweet critters.

I have two friendly pets and a fenced in yard to keep your fur baby happy or I can easily crate your pet ifyou prefer.
About: I’m a huge pet lover!! I’ve had dogs since I was around 12, and have shared the responsibilities of taking care of them. Aside from my own pets, there are several families that I have had the pleasure of being a long-term pet sitter for. From walks, to baths, to feeding routines, I am here to make sure your pet is pampered. Currently a student, but will be here working over the summer with lots of mornings, nights, and weekends available! I am near the West Loop area but am happy to travel!! I am happy to follow any rules and meet any accommodations to ensure that your pet is happy and healthy. I’m adaptable to your environment, and can ensure dependability!
“Zoey is fantastic! She was great with our dogs as evidenced by the regular text and picture updates she sends. She was also a lifesaver by being flexible and extending her pet care services when our travel plans home fell apart and got significantly delayed. 10/10 ⭐️ and would definitely recommend Zoey!”

“Natallie stayed at my house again but this time it was for a week while my family was out of town and was able to give my cat life saving medicine we appreciate her so much!!”

“Emma was wonderful! She stayed for a week and my pampered pets didn't have to spend the night alone! Great communication when she had questions and sent adorable photos. Took care of the house, above and beyond! Highly recommend”

“We found Lorri on Rover while looking for a new sitter after moving from out of state. Our two dogs were especially sensitive after changing homes and routines, and we can’t believe the strides they made while in her care! She sent thoughtful detailed daily updates with pictures and let us know about all the “wins” she was celebrating with our very anxious pup, Pepper. It’s clear she is a natural with animals and is so patient and compassionate with them. Our house was well taken care of and I could tell our dogs were her priority while we were away—could not have asked for anything more. Will absolutely book Lorri again and would recommend her to anyone!”
