“Dayana was a great dogsitter to our puppy Honey. She sent pictures and videos throughout the day of Honey having fun and being taken on walks, and she was very nice and communicative. I will definitely be reaching back out for more dog sitting with Dayana!”
“Emily was a great sitter. She was super easy to work with. She had a great backyard setup. Our pup, Bandit, loves water and Emily had a doggy pool all set up for him. Would book with Emily again.”
“Gaby was great! Gaby has been walking my puppy for a few weeks now and she loves her! We thought we would try day care with Gaby and it was perfect for her. Gaby was very accommodating and able to keep my puppy a bit longer since I was delayed.”
“My Shih Tzu, Coco had his first visit with Erica and her family. He was very excited to meet them and he had a great time. I got photos that reassured me he was happy and didn't seem to show any of the separation anxiety he has had. I'm happy to recommend Erica and Ricardo to all and I am definitely adding them to my list of fave Rover people.”
“Michelle was absolutely fantastic - one of the best Rover's we've ever worked with. She was very responsive and flexible with our timings, sent numerous pictures throughout the day, and took excellent care of our Millie. Millie had a great time at her place and left happy - will definitely be comfortable leaving Millie with Michelle and her family again!”

About: Looking for a dog walker? Or dog sitter? I’m sure you have a lot of options. I’d like to know what I can do for you to make this experience easy and enjoyable for you. I’ll ask you questions about your pets and I’ll treat them with care. I’d love to learn about them and about you so I can take care of them in the long run whenever you need me to. I’m a student at Depaul University for educational psychology, and work at an elementary school during the week. I currently am free most of the week. I love to take care of animals, so please feel free to contact me regarding any questions. When taking care of your pet I will make sure to ask questions regarding any secret hide outs your pet might like to hide in or what their favorite toy is to keep them company.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and animals my entire life! I grew up with 5 cats, 2 dogs and 3 horses and I have loved animals since I was a little girl! I am also familiar and comfortable with administering meds! I work part-time and my partner, Nate works from home full time so together we are able to take complete care of your fur baby! We have a fenced in yard, multiple dog parks nearby and a dog of our own that LOVES to play with other animals! We are also able to crate your dog if/when necessary and are able and willing to accommodate most requests!
About: I am a dog mom of 2. I have been caring for my oldest dog for about 9 years now. I trained my two dogs on my own. I am currently working from home, so my work schedule is extremely flexible. I am available in the afternoon and evenings to go on dog walks. There are a lot of nearby parks in my area. I like to be in nature so I do on long walks daily, and would love to have a furry companion with me.
“Rosario took excellent care of my dog. She pet him throughout the day, took him for a walk, and fed him treats and dinner. I received photos and videos all day long. I would definitely use Rosario’s services again.”
About: I’ve owned dogs most of my life and consistently for the past 11 years — small or large, puppy or senior, I love them all. My own pets thrive on routine, so your dog will get consistent walks, feeding times, and plenty of attention while you’re away. I currently share my home with a pug and an 18-year-old cat, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and energy levels. Pug mom + cat whisperer offering a loving, low-key place to stay I work from home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches — they’ll get plenty of company, attention, and bathroom/play breaks built right into my day. Pet care isn’t an interruption to my routine, it’s part of it. Your dog will get long walks through my beautiful neighborhood, plus supervised outdoor time tethered out front alongside my pug (my yard is unfenced, so all outdoor time is supervised). I’m happy to crate your pet if you provide one, and I’ll keep them on whatever feeding and routine schedule they’re used to at home.
“Sarai did great with our dogs. They immediately felt at home with her, and they came home happy and well cared for. She sent photos and video of their visit. Her house was clean, and she had a nice big yard for them to run around outside. She was great!!”
About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, starting with my own 5-year-old pup, whom I raised and trained myself. Over the years, I have also looked after the pets of family members and friends whenever they traveled, managing everything from high-energy play sessions to strict feeding and medication schedules. Being a pet parent myself has taught me how to read a dog's body language, understand their anxiety when away from their owners, and provide the patience and comfort they need to feel safe. I am fully capable of handling daily routines, maintaining potty schedules, and ensuring a safe environment both inside the house and out on walks Since I am at home full-time, my schedule is highly flexible and revolves completely around the pets' needs. A typical day starts around 7:00 AM with a morning potty break and breakfast, followed by some relaxed morning playtime or a walk to burn off early energy. Throughout the day, I follow a consistent routine of potty breaks every 2 to 3 hours, interactive playtime, and dedicated rest periods where they can nap comfortably by my side. In the late afternoon, we head out for a longer, more dynamic walk to explore and sniff around. After a filling dinner, the evening is all about winding down with plenty of couch cuddles and attention until bedtime. I strictly follow any specific schedules provided by the owners for feeding, medication, or specific bathroom habits to ensure their routine stays as normal as possible. Safety is my absolute top priority. When hosting pets in my home, they are supervised 24/7 since I work from home. My space is fully pet-proofed, with no hazards or toxic plants within reach, and doors are always kept securely closed. Introductions with my own dog are always done slowly and safely on neutral ground to ensure everyone gets along. I strictly follow all instructions left by the owner. During walks, I am always alert to our surroundings, keep the dog on a secure leash at all times, and never allow socialization with strange dogs unless explicitly approved. I also provide detailed updates and photos.
About: I grew up taking care and even sitting some of my mom's friends dogs. In my teens I would take care and sit a few family members dogs. I then volunteered at a puppy adoption center in Mexico. I am currently only attending school on Friday mornings from 8am to 12pm. I will update my schedule once I go back to tutoring or when my classes change. I will ensure that your pets get the care they need and the exercise they need. I will also pay attention to any requests your pets may need.
“Katie was GREAT! We set up a meet and great, which went great! Katie was super communicative and sent us a lot of pictures! We definitely felt like our dog was in good hands and had a great time!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lyons
Angelina has been amazing! Our boy is so happy and Angelina is so communicative throughout the day, and has made this process so easy. I was definitely a little anxious about Opie going to a new daycare but Angelina has relieved all of that worry. We will definitely be using her in the future!
We had a wonderful experience with Emilia! She was incredibly kind, communicative and took great care of our pup during daycare. We appreciated the picture updates throughout the day, which gave us peace of mind to let us see how much fun our pup was having. It was clear he was happy and well cared for the entire time. We will book with her again!
Thank you to Julliana and her husband for watching Charlie! They agreed to watch him last minute when I was having difficulty finding a sitter and sent pictures to let me know how he was doing - they are so kind and sweet & I’ll definitely be requesting them to watch my pup in the future again.
Christine was our life saver when we visited Chicago. It was a last minute booking and she accommodated us quickly. She loved our fur baby! Our Rollo had a blast with her and her beautiful cats ♥️ Thank you, Christine! We appreciate your love and care for fur babies.
