“Ashley and her daughter Marina are incredibly conscientious and caring. Every time I bring my dog to their place, he is excited to run up the stairs and be reunited with his extended family. He truly loves them, and I can see how much they love him as well. 10/10, would recommend Ashley’s services to anyone!”

“Timothy is our puppy’s favorite sitter (and ours too!). It’s clear he really understands and empathizes with dogs of all ages and sizes. We’ve had multiple stays at Timothy’s place, and every time our dog comes home happy, well-cared for and occasionally having made new dog friends! We especially appreciate the way he handles our rambunctious labrador puppy- calm, kind, and confident. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in good hands. We’re grateful to have found him, highly recommend!”

“Gabriel was an excellent dog sitter for Walnut. He was attentive, patient, and very professional throughout the entire experience. He communicated clearly, provided updates, and always confirmed details, which gave me great peace of mind. Walnut seemed very happy and comfortable with him, and it was clear he genuinely enjoyed spending time with Gabriel. I truly felt that Walnut was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Gabriel and would love for him to continue sitting for us in the future.”


“Jennifer took great care of Kashi. I got plenty of pictures and videos for his one day daycare stay. I picked him up and he was in great spirits. I would definitely use her again!”


“This was our first time using this app and man our dog was ASLEEP right after we picked him up. She was very communicative and updating in our dog while he was having a blast! Would 100% rebook!”


About: Hi! My name is Monica and I recently graduated from Indiana University. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I was in college, I fostered through local animal shelters, which gave me experience caring for animals with all different personalities, ages, and needs. I’m also currently a volunteer at the Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago, where I help care for animals and support the shelter. I work from home, so I’m able to give pets a lot of attention throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone for long. My dad is also recently retired and home most of the time, so there’s always someone around to give extra attention, playtime, and care. I have a small Yorkie named Tucker and a cat named Penny. They’re both very friendly and used to being around other animals. Tucker is great at matching other dogs’ energy (whether they want to play or relax), and Penny is very calm and tends to mind her own business. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away! I recently graduated from Indiana University and am now back home in Chicago full-time. My dad is retired and home all day, and I spend most of my time at home too, so your pet will always have company and attention. I’m not super busy and genuinely love being around animals — it’s the perfect setup! I have a private, fully fenced yard and never let pets outside without supervision. My home is spacious, and pets are welcome to relax anywhere they’d like. I also have a 2-year-old, 4.5-pound Yorkie who mostly keeps to himself but is always up for a little playtime if your pet wants a buddy! I’m happy to crate your dog at night if you prefer, or they’re welcome to sleep with me — I’d love that too!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs (small mostly) since I was 11. I grew up with two chihuahuas and am currently fully in love with my mom’s current weenie dog. I’ve fostered 3 small/medium dogs in the past 2 years and am trusted with my friends and families dogs for walking and sitting. I work from home Mondays and Fridays and am usually home most weekends (unless I’m traveling). I’m able to be home with the dog and take on walks for most of the day. I live less than a block from Harrison Park, so I will be able to take the dog for a walk and some exercise daily. I also happy to lounge on the couch and bed with the dog if they need plenty of company and rest. Dogs are little fur babies to me and they will be the royalty in the home. Be prepared for many pictures.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life so I’m adapting to watch dogs an cats I used to help some of my friends and family to watch their pets and actually I still doing with some of my neighbors’s pets and other people’s pets! I can watch the pets in my house or in the client’s house. I’m almost all day at home so I have time to play and walk to your dogs or watch your cats I enjoy when I watch pets ‘cause I’m a dog and cat lover! I have a park so close to my house so I can take Your pets for walks, and also there is a fence dog park with in walking distance from my house and I have a fence yard.
“Katrina was excellent! She made my first Rover experience with my pup a breeze. She is incredibly responsive and is punctual. She walked me through everything to expect and she even helped me set up a day stay as a introduction for my pup before her longer 5 night stay. I felt that my dog was well cared for and was receiving so much attention and love from Katrina! I got many updates and cute photos through the day which made me feel at ease while at work. She even gave me a little souvenir photo of my pup at the end of the stay. She is also very professional and transparent about every aspect of the stay. I give her my highest recommendation and will definitely be a repeat client!”

About: I grew up with family dogs and have had mine since he was 8 weeks old (he will be 17 years old this August!). Experience with puppies through senior dogs. Large breeds and small! Would love to take care of yours. I work full time from home, so I have ample amount of time to hang out with your pups (no matter the age, dogs are forever pups in my eyes!). I have an almost 17 year old pup who naps most of the day but is always excited for his walks! I live in a low traffic area and just down the street from a fenced grass area we play in. In case there’s rain, I have a covered area to take the pups out so they still get some fresh air.

About: I have been a pet owner for over 20 years, so caring for animals has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have helped raise, train, exercise, and comfort dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I was also a cat owner for over a decade, which gave me experience with pets who have very different personalities, routines, and comfort levels. My family has been pet sitting for nearly 10 years, and I helped with a lot of that care over the years. Through that, I learned how important it is to be reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. Now that I am on my own, I am excited to start offering pet care myself and to provide pets with the same kind of safe, loving care I would want for my own animals. I am a teacher, but I am currently on summer break, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I have plenty of availability during the day, evenings, and weekends, while still being dependable and consistent with the care I provide. I am able to work around each pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. In my home, pets will have a safe, clean, and comfortable space to relax and feel cared for. I live in a large 3-bedroom apartment with secure doors that create natural barriers throughout the apartment, which makes it easy to separate spaces when needed or help a pet feel more comfortable. There are no other pets in the home, so your pet will receive my full attention without having to adjust to unfamiliar animals. One of the best parts of my home is the fully fenced-in backyard. There is plenty of space for dogs to run around, play, use the bathroom, or just stretch their legs safely. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, water, comfort, and supervision based on each pet’s normal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow the owner’s instructions closely so the pet can stay on their usual schedule. I know how important consistency is, so I pay attention to feeding times, walks, medication instructions, favorite toys, comfort needs, and any house rules. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they are in my home or their own. Please note, I only sit pets from 1 household at a time - that way your pet(s) get all of my attention!

I can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s routine. I provide a calm, safe environment for cats and calm adult dogs, whether in my home or at the client’s home. Pets are always supervised and cared for according to their routines. My home features a fenced yard, giving pets a safe outdoor space to explore. I also have a friendly, well-behaved cat, so I’m experienced in helping pets feel comfortable around other animals. I follow owners’ instructions closely for feeding, litter care, walks, and general routines to ensure pets feel secure and happy while in my care.
“Yasmine was wonderful with my very energetic dog. Her own dog is well-behaved and serves as a great role model for other dogs. When my dog came home, he was happy, tired, and completely content, a clear sign that he had a fantastic time. She lives close to a large dog park where dogs can run, play, and burn off their energy while having the time of their lives. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with Yasmine and plan to do so regularly. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter and excellent company for their dog.”

My girl is very shy and nervous and usually takes time to warm up to new people, so I was a little anxious about leaving her with a new sitter. Amaris was wonderful with her from the start. She was comfortable enough to spend two full 8-hour workdays with Amaris right away, which is very unusual for her. Amaris kept me updated throughout the day, was flexible with scheduling, and made the whole experience completely stress-free!

Tate must have had a great day with Kseniia because she was fast asleep when we hit the road. When I picked her up she was very happy. For someone who travels a lot for work, Kseniia provided a great spot for my pup to be safe and happy while I attended a work engagement.

Our dogs really seemed to enjoy their time with Trey. It was just a couple of hours but it was so nice to know they were in good hands. He sent photo updates and I swear they were smiling the photos. We dropped them off with their bed and treats so they would feel comfy and he was so welcoming. We so appreciate that they were in good hands while we enjoyed our day.

I have extreme anxiety about leaving my dog with anyone, but Lauren took great care of Duke. She sent many photos and was very friendly. My favorite thing is that she only watches smaller dogs so I can feel safe knowing that I don’t have to worry about my small dog being attacked by a dog much bigger than him. I just genuinely feel that Duke is safe when he is at Lauren’s. Also, she is quick to respond and just seems very responsible and professional.

Lexi was a wonderful! She took such good care of my dog, and I could tell Koko had so much fun, she was so tired when she got home, and that’s when you know she had a great day! Lexi was also super good at keeping me updated and sharing photos, couldn’t have asked for anyone better.

This was our puppy’s very first sitting experience. We needed a sitter for a few hours during our trip to Chicago. From the moment we arrived, Zuma jumped right into Rachael’s arms, which immediately made us feel that she was experienced with dogs and had a calming presence. He seemed to feel safe and comfortable with her right away. It looks like he was able to relax and enjoy his time there. We would definitely recommend Rachael to other pet parents.

Yasmine was wonderful with my very energetic dog. Her own dog is well-behaved and serves as a great role model for other dogs. When my dog came home, he was happy, tired, and completely content, a clear sign that he had a fantastic time. She lives close to a large dog park where dogs can run, play, and burn off their energy while having the time of their lives. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with Yasmine and plan to do so regularly. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter and excellent company for their dog.

Jennifer took great care of my two dogs during their first boarding experience. As first-time boarders, I was a little nervous, but Jennifer made the whole process easy and reassuring. She kept me updated regularly with photos and videos, and always let me know how the dogs were doing. It was clear that my dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay. Jennifer is responsible, communicative, and genuinely loves animals. I really appreciated the attention and care she gave my dogs, and I would not hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommended! Thank you, Jennifer, for treating Turbo and Boomboom like your own pets! We truly appreciate everything you did for them. 🐾💙
