“Ashley was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure that my dog was comfortable with his stay at her house while I worked. She was very communicative, made sure to have full understanding of his care, and gave him lots of love! From the moment I dropped him off, I can tell she really cares about the pets she and her daughter care for, when I picked Echo up at the end of the day, he was so sad to leave! I’ll definitely be booking with Ashley again! :)”

About: I have several years of experience in the biomedical research field where I took care of mice. Administering drugs was a daily task for me. I have also taken care of my romantic partners' pets throughout the years. I am vegan now for several years, so I am deeply committed to treating animals well. I just completed my first cat boarding service, and I discovered that I am very happy taking care of pets at home. I am excited to start hosting more pets! I work from home, so it will be convenient for me to care for your pet(s) throughout the day. I am a freelancer, so I make my own schedule. I can make my schedule around your pets' needs! I maintain a clutter free home where your pet(s) can run inside! There's plenty of light with windows in all rooms. I am vegan for the animals, so you can trust me that I will care for your pet(s) to the best of my ability!

“We were visiting Chicago for a graduation and left our young golden retriever with Jennifer and her family. They have a nice yard set up and there were other dogs there for her to play with. They sent a video each day, which we appreciated, as well. Thank you!”

“Alexandria took excellent care of our puppy, Pista. He loved spending time with her, especially practicing sit and come. She was thoughtful, punctual, and responsive throughout the entire process, taking him out for multiple walks. Highly recommend her services!”

About: I truly treat every dog as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities — from playful puppies who need patience and training, to senior dogs who require extra love, attention, and gentle care. I believe animals are our companions in life, and I always take the time to follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully, paying close attention to routines, diets, and any special needs. I love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they feel at ease while they’re away. My own dog is my adventure buddy, and she has taught me how much joy, trust, and unconditional love pets bring into our lives. That same passion drives the way I care for every animal I meet. 🐾 Pet care is naturally part of my everyday life. I already care for my own dog, so my routine includes daily walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love. Whether it’s mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I make time to ensure pets get exercise, attention, and care. On weekends, I enjoy taking longer walks and spending extra time outdoors with dogs. Caring for animals isn’t something I have to “fit in” — it’s already how I live my life. In my home: Pets are welcomed as part of the family. I live in an apartment that is completely closed and secure, so there is no way for dogs to escape. They can relax safely indoors, and I make sure they feel comfortable with plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and a clean space to rest. I also follow their feeding schedule closely and provide a calm, loving environment so they feel at home. In a client’s home: I respect the pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions to make the transition as smooth as possible. I maintain their schedule for meals, walks, and playtime, while also giving them companionship and care so they don’t feel alone. I keep owners updated with photos and messages, so they always know their pet is happy and well cared for.
“Annika and Olivia are fantastic!! Mindy loves staying with them and they kept me updated on how and what she was doing all day. They also always respond super quickly which I really appreciate. Definitely recommend using them!!”

Lower West Side dog parents share their Rover experiences
Toby is an anxious reactive guy and they were SO accommodating and understanding! I hopped on a call with them the day before and they were so respectful of our needs. Toby actually jumped on her lap when he got there! Absolutely loved working with them, would do it again in a heartbeat.

I had an amazing experience with Annika! She took such great care of Charu and kept me completely at ease with regular updates and the cutest pictures throughout the day. Charu clearly had a wonderful time and felt so comfortable with her. I was able to explore Chicago without any worry, knowing my little one was in such loving hands. Highly recommend! truly a wonderful sitter! 🐾💛

Pashan was a great introduction for us with Rover. She agreed to briefly meet our dog before we booked and had short notice weekend availability. Our dog warmed up to her and this gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She provided pictures and updates which we appreciated. Thank you so much!

Had to book a last minute daycare and found out about Madison through a fellow dachshund owner friend who had a great experience with her. She was very quick to respond and sent us photos and updates while we were gone. She made us feel comfortable (I was nervous about leaving him last minute with someone new) and clearly made Ralph feel comfortable because he was laying in her lap halfway through his stay (always a great sign!). We plan to book her again and will also recommend her to our other dog owner friends!

Sara was amazing with our puppy today! He came back home so happy and full of energy, and it was clear he had a wonderful time under her care. She was attentive, gentle, and made sure he felt comfortable and loved. It gives us such peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Sara again—highly recommend her!
