About: Hi! I’m Melissa, a 27-year-old social media coordinator working from home in Chicago. I’ve been pet sitting through Rover on and off since 2019, but I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for years before that as well. I’m very comfortable with pets of all personalities and always try to meet animals where they are, especially when it comes to affection, trust and personal space. I know every pet is different, and I never want them to feel pressured or uncomfortable. I have pets of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them. I’ll always treat your pets with the same love, patience and respect I’d want for my own because they really are part of the family! I live right by Winnemac Park and would especially love to connect with families nearby for dog walks and cat check-ins. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible throughout the week and I’m able to fit in walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I live right by Winnemac Park, so I’m especially available for pets in the surrounding neighborhood and can usually accommodate morning, afternoon or evening visits depending on the day. I believe mutual respect between a person and an animal are super important for the relationship especially in the pet service care industry, so I make sure to pay close attention to that!

“Kaira is amazing! She is extremely communicative, asked great questions when she met my dog Finn, and made me feel extremely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I couldn’t have asked for more. My dog Finn can be a handful at times but Kaira was so good with him. I will absolutely be reaching out in the future and highly recommend utilizing Kaira for your pet’s care 🙂”

“Michael has been wonderful with our two dogs! He is dependable, caring, and truly great with them. Our dogs absolutely adore him, and it's clear how much he genuinely loves what he does. We're very grateful to have found Michael and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dogs with love and care.”

“Vanessa was very thorough and attentive. She was quick to respond and arranged a meet and greet despite a short notice request. Nellie very quickly warmed up to Vanessa and definitely enjoyed her walks! Would highly recommend!!”

About: - We adopted our dog, Olive, in late August '23. - My significant other's parents have a dog who we frequently sit for and walk. He is dog-reactive so I do have experience navigating walks safely with him. We also had experience taking care of their senior dog. - I grew up in a household with two cats and have experience cat- and dog-sitting for multiple different households throughout the neighborhood in high school. I am available on weekends though I do work full-time. My hours are consistent though aren't typical work hours! This is my usual availability: - Saturdays and Sundays - Monday and Wednesday mornings before 9:30AM and nights after 8PM - Tuesday and Thursday afternoons/nights after 4-4:30PM - Friday mornings before 8AM and evenings/nights after 6PM I am available to sit for your pet or take your dog out for walks! I have my own 2 year old dog, Olive, who loves every dog she meets. If our dogs get along and if agreed upon, she would love to join in on walks but does not have to!

About: Hi, I’m Susan, a lifelong dog lover with over 40 years of experience caring for pups of all kinds and ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I offer safe, loving in-home boarding and daycare for small breeds (typically 30 lbs and under), with a special affection for terriers. I provide a calm, cozy home environment where dogs are treated like family and receive lots of attention, affection, playtime, and walks. My Westie, Isla, is friendly, social, and loves having dog friends over—especially other small and medium-sized pups with gentle, playful personalities. While I primarily care for smaller dogs, I may accept select medium-sized dogs on a case-by-case basis depending on temperament, leash manners, and overall fit with Isla and my home environment. I currently offer boarding and daycare primarily Fridays through Mondays, with Thursday evening drop-offs available after 7:00 pm for longer weekend stays. This schedule allows me to provide focused, attentive care and maintain a relaxed environment for every dog in my home. Whether your pup is staying for a night, a long weekend, or recurring daycare visits, I’ll do everything I can to help them feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. Caring for dogs is a natural and joyful part of my daily life. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to structure my day around the needs of the dogs in my care. My routine includes regular walks, indoor and outdoor play sessions, and lots of cuddle time. Whether we’re tossing a ball in the living room, enjoying a quiet break together, or following a familiar feeding schedule, I strive to make each dog feel safe, loved, and truly at home. Weekends follow the same routine, so your pup will enjoy a calm, consistent environment every day of the week. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly home where every pup is treated like family. I closely supervise all interactions—especially during introductions—and keep the environment low-stress by hosting no more than one or two dogs at a time. My own dog, Isla, a friendly, well-socialized three-year-old West Highland Terrier, offers wonderful canine companionship and helps other dogs feel welcome. You can trust that your dog will be in attentive, experienced, and loving hands throughout their stay.

“Josephine is the sweetest, this is my first time using the service and she helped me to make sure I was doing everything on my end correctly and Niko immediately took a liking to her as soon as them met. I would definitely rebook with her again! It was such a last minute request and I’m so thankful she was able to assis!”

“Cheryl is one in a million. I am so thankful that she came into my pups lives. My dogs are not easy to handle, but she was understanding, compassionate, and loving to them since the first day she met them. She is knowledgeable, skilled, extremely reliable and has helped me out more than once in a last minute situation. I cannot recommend her highly enough for any pet that you may have that is special needs or needs attention beyond your average care. She’s an absolute pro.”

“Trinity has been/is my dogwalker for my pug & has been amazing! She is quick with her responses & open communication, flexible when I need her to come at different times to walk my pug, and is so sweet to my girl. My girl trusted her immediately and that says alot! She was more than willing to try different things when my girl was not pottying on her walks at the beginning & that means the world. Highly recommend her if you are finding a trustworthy dogwalker!”

Sienna K.

“She was available asap when I was in a pinch! Very communicative and came through big time. Thank you!”

Aldo H.

“Maya was delightful from start to finish. We had a last minute booking which she accommodated with no stress. I’m recovering from a surgery so I needed her for 4 walks a day for 3 days. She showed up on time every time and was so positive and full of good energy every time. She was also very amenable to a few time changes I needed to make. She’s very sweet with my pups and I will most definitely work with her again.”

Winifred G.

“Olivia was awesome! She took great care of my dog and was available on short notice. I was a little nervous because my dog is still in the process of training and gets excited easily. However, Olivia was still able to provide exceptional care. Will be hiring Olivia again!”

Rose B.

“Maeve is always great to work with. She responds quickly to our requests and is flexible when we have to change our plans. She takes great care of our animals and our house. We will continue to use her services!”

“Michelle is fantastic with Milo! Always punctual, gives great updates, and clearly cares about Milo. Milo loves her, and we feel at ease knowing he’s in good hands. Highly recommend!”

Jung P.

“Solange was great with Lily! The weather was too bad for her to walk outside but she played with Lily and tired her out. She was great at communicating before and after and was very kind at our meet and greet with her. We want Lily to get to walk with her in the future!”

About: Hi! I'm Kelley and I'd love to help you out and take care of your pet! I have experience volunteering at my local animal shelter for over 5 years now. I've also worked as a dog bather at two separate dog grooming salons so i’m experienced with handling dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. On top of that, I’ve always had cats of my own. Whether it's staying overnight or just dropping by for a check in and a little dog walk, I’m here to help! I work a part-time job but keep my availability on this app up to date so there’s no confusion. Another plus: I'm great at answering my text messages so you'll never have to worry about miscommunication! Thanks for stopping by and let me know if I can help you! I currently work full-time at a restaurant, so my availability leans towards the daytime hours. I’m usually out of work by 10-11pm at the latest, so I am available in the late evening for overnight stays. I treat all pets, and animals in the world, as if they were my own. I focus on care and compassion with all my interactions in my daily life. I am open to all types of care, and am willing to work with the needs of both the animal and the pet-parent.

About: I’m an extremely mobile pet sitter: I have a car - let me visit your home or take your pet to their desired destination! I work remotely full-time - I can provide more indoor attention if needed! I live a very active life style - I can run, play fetch, and/or wiggle a string all day long! Since I work remotely full-time, I can relocate myself to the pet’s house easily and bring my work, or host pets at my place. Either way, I can provide extra attention to animals in need. I believe in respecting the pet and matching their energy - if they are friendly and seeking attention, I’ll provide it; if they need time to warm up, I’ll give them space. I also want to respect the wishes of the owners - any instructions owners want applied to their pets in their presence, I will honor in their absence.

“Morriah took the best care of Lilly, she follows instructions well. Recommend Morriah to anyone looking for a reliable friendly dog walker.”
