“Joerg and Lake were great! They hung out with my dog Sky for an afternoon while I went to a cubs game. Will definitely look them up if back in Chicago in the future.”

About: Hi there! My name is Nicky (he/they) and I’ve been taking care of pets for my neighbors, friends, and family members for upwards of a decade and am commonly regarded as the go-to sitter in my community. I strive to treat every pet (and owner) with the utmost respect and kindness, and I’ll follow your instructions to a T! (The T stands for toe beans 🤓) Currently unemployed due to layoffs in my industry, so I’ll be able to give your fur bestie as much attention as possible! I can do overnights, multiple nights in a row, or just a drop-in/walk; whatever you need - I got you! :) I have a fenced yard in front of my apartment complex so your fur bestie can run free and tire themselves out before beddybye! I can crate your pup if you provide one or they can get some shut-eye on the couch or wherever they’re comfy!
“Zev loves his daycare with Natalia and her fur-daughter Bella. She sends lots of updates and pictures with tails high and wagging. Now on walks, Zev is always pulling towards Natalia's house. Thank you Natalia for always being flexible and responsive!”


“Our dog had a wonderful time at Megan's. She sent us photos while we we were gone which made us feel so much better. Would use Megan again when we come back to visit Savannah again.”

“Brad is great - my dog is nervous around everyone yet she acts like she’s known him her whole life. I particularly like that he sends pics of the two of them lounging together!”

“Robert was amazing watching my dog for the day. He took her on a long walk and she instantly was comfortable with him. He was also flexible when I was a little later to pick her up than expected - thank you Robert!”

“Bobo had a great time with Carly. I loved the pictures she sent and how happy and tired he was when I picked him up! Carly was gentle, attentive and thorough with her care. She was also very responsive so arranging drop off and pickup was very easy.”

“Our pup enjoyed spending her days with Marla and James and playing with their Daisy. She was sad to leave and excited to arrived each day. Will definitely book daycare with them again! Thank you!!”

“Laura is absolutely amazing! She’s so friendly and welcoming, and my partner and I instantly felt comfortable leaving our dog with her. She invited us into her home, and our pup was immediately curious and happy to be there. Laura took the time to explain how she cares for dogs and kept us updated throughout the day, which we really appreciated. When we picked him up, he was tired and happy—a sure sign he had an awesome time! We can’t recommend Laura enough.”

“Susan was wonderful! She was very caring with our little elder dog. Communication was great and we were happy to receive a photo of our dog having a comfortable stay with Susan. We appreciate you, Susan!”

“Sarah and Walter have been such rockstars in helping us take care of our pup after his surgery! They are super responsive and flexible and great with taking care of special needs dogs. We are so appreciative of all of their work, and would definitely recommend them!”

“Michaela was very attentive to our puppy blue. Sent us pictures and updates all day. She took our request last minute and we are very grateful. Seems like blue had a great time.”


“Llama adores her days with Tara and her family. She's always wiggley with excitement in the morning approaching the front door! Tara has been extremely helpful, friendly and understanding. I Highly recommend her!”

About: We are two dog-smitten people who, after adopting our own dog Olive a few years ago, have continued fostering dogs and volunteering through local shelters and are now sitting for Rover. We love meeting new dogs and showering them with love and attention while they’re in our home. We have a soft spot for seniors and have experience working with shyer/anxious dogs. I work from home and my partner has a flexible schedule, so there will almost always be someone around with your dog. We live in a duplex apartment with a small backyard and one block from a large park, where we walk nearly every day. We will update you with pics throughout your dog’s stay. Please bring whatever your dog needs to be comfortable—food, dog bed, special treats, sweaters or booties if cold weather, calming chews, etc. We take care that our dog and our guest get along well. Your dog will be the only guest in our home, alongside our resident dog. Our dog is mostly indifferent to other dogs but occasionally finds a playmate. We do feed dogs separately and place them in separate closed-door rooms when we leave. We’re happy to have the dogs meet for a short walk prior to booking.
“Kate was an absolute pleasure! So flexible with my last minute booking and I really appreciate how I received updates and pics throughout the day. As an anxious pet mom, this truly means a lot to me. Kate was great with Pearl and was able to get her to feel relaxed in a very short period of time. Will definitely book again!”

“Sara and Christian alleviate all of my dog related worries. Ellie (the dog in question) knows exactly where we are when she gets dropped off and is so pumped to spend her days here. Thank you for the updates and for treating my girl as if she was your own! Would absolutely recommend!!”

About: Hey there! If you're reading this that most likely means you are going on a trip. If this is vacation, Congrats! You've earned it! If you're headed on a work trip, well then I hope the food is good! Either way, I would love to look after your furry friend while you're gone! I have been looking after pups for about 8 years and have had dogs of my own. I am more than happy to send regular updates so you don't miss your friend too much. I currently work part-time and from home, therefore I will be around all day to check in on your pet and keep them entertained while you are gone. After working with a family member who is a professional dog trainer, I have learned how to care for dogs with various temperaments. I can care for a shy doggie and play with a high energy puppy. I am no stranger to the intricacies of doggie care and will not shy away from strict guidelines. I truly care for the health of animals and want to do the best we can to give your furry friend some well deserved love and exercise.
“This was the second time that Nancy watched Bentley for us, and the first time we ever repeated a sitter on Rover. We usually feel guilty about leaving him knowing that he’s likely to be miserable, but not with Nancy! He really enjoys staying with her. It’s such a relief not to worry about Bentley and actually get to enjoy a nice day out.”

Emilia took excellent care of Kona. She asked great questions in preparation for his stay and provided updates throughout the day. Kona is slow to warm up to new people and it was obvious she gained his trust. He came home very happy :) we will definitely work with Emilia in the future!

Vladislav was a great sitter for our dog, Ginger! She’s a high energy dog and he took her on a long walk around the lake and gave her the care that she needs. He kept us updated with photos and was responsive and quick to answer any messages. We’d love to book again!
