“Susan took great care of our puppy! She was very professional and went above and beyond. She took so many pictures and wrote visit summaries that made me feel totally in the loop. I can’t wait to have Susan check in on Trace again!”

About: Every animal deserves to feel safe, and I pride myself on being calm, compassionate, and attentive. Whether your fur baby is energetic or anxious, I meet them with patience to create that trusting bond during our time together. My only conflicts are listed below. Monday evenings are very flexible, though, and I’m always available before/after work at the candle store. • Mondays: 6pm-8pm at Save the Animals Foundation • Wednesdays: 12pm-5pm at Nova Candle Company • Thursdays: 11am-6pm at Nova Candle Company • Saturdays: 10am-3pm at Nova Candle Company I have a decent sized backyard (fenced in) with plenty of toys for your furry family member, and I have easy access to a park for walks. If they have low energy, my older Pug will be their snuggle buddy. If they have high energy, my Shiba Inu puppy will give them a grand playtime.

“Anissa had good energy and did a great job taking care of our two cats! She sent daily pictures. We felt she was trustworthy and plan to have her cat sit again.”

“Jill was amazing! She followed the instructions for our cats perfectly and it gave us a lot of peace of mind while away. Sent plenty of pictures - would definitely book again!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have extensive experience caring for medium & large breeds and dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications if needed, and providing attentive companionship and care. What sets me apart is my reliability, communication, and attention to detail. I work in a professional client-facing role and understand how important trust and consistency are when someone is caring for your pet and entering your home. I’ll always provide updates, photos, and responsive communication so you feel comfortable while you’re away. My office is in Kenwood so I’m available for weekday midday drop-ins and walks around the Kenwood/Montgomery area, as well as evening walks and visits during the week depending on location. My availability is usually more flexible on weekends as well. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine and I enjoy being able to incorporate walks and visits into my day. I always try to be reliable, responsive, and make sure your pets get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are really important to me. I know every dog has a different personality and routine, so I always try to make visits and walks feel as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. During walks and drop-ins, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and care while also paying close attention to safety like leashes, doors, and gates. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll always be respectful of your space and follow any routines or instructions you provide.

“I cannot express how thankful I am for Kristen! She flexed at the last minute to support our sick dog in addition to our cat! She was absolutely wonderful, super communicative, and took awesome care of our babies.”

“I had a great experience working with Emma! She took great care of my kitties and helped give medication to one of them, while also monitoring her condition and keeping me updated every day. It really gave me peace of mind. The kitties are happy to see her again!”

About: Hi 💕 My name is Pin-Hsuan, you also can call me Bella! Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals — cats, dogs, fish, birds, hedgehogs, and even hamsters. Caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Since moving to the U.S., I’ve taken care of my own cats, helped with cat-sitting around UC, and have some fostering experience too. I’m calm, reliable, and very clean. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, walks, or gentle cuddles, I pay attention to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I send daily photo updates so you always know your pet is safe and relaxed. 嗨～你好！💕 我從小就跟各種動物一起長大，像貓、狗、魚、鳥、刺蝟、倉鼠都有照顧過，動物一直都像是我生活的一部分。來美國之後，我一直照顧自己的貓，也有在 UC 附近幫忙過動物寄養和照看，還有寄養的經驗。 我個性很穩、好相處，也超愛乾淨。會盡量讓每一隻毛孩在主人不在時，都能覺得安全、放鬆、被好好照顧。餵食、清貓砂、陪玩、散步、抱抱，我都會根據每隻動物的個性來安排。我也會每天傳送照片讓主人安心！ About my schedule: I’m a musician, so my schedule is flexible between gigs. With a few days of planning, I’m available most of the time — and I can often accept last-minute requests too. 我是一名音樂家，因為演出時間比較彈性，只要提前幾天說，我大部分時間都可以配合，也能接受臨時需求。 For boarding cats overnight at my place I have an entire floor dedicated to kitty guests, with a clean litter box and plenty of places to jump and explore. I have experience giving pets medicine if needed. 我家有一整層是專門給寄宿貓咪的空間，乾淨、舒服，也有地方可以跳、探索、休息。如果需要餵藥我也有經驗。

“Jeff really took his time getting to know Bella and did a wonderful job taking care of her. I would HIGHLY recommend Jeff to anyone looking for someone to look after their pets while they are away.”

About: I’m a big animal lover and have had pets in my life for as long as I can remember. My first job in high school was working at Best Friends Pet Care, where I cared for both dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments throughout my entire high school career. That experience taught me how to safely handle, feed, exercise, and care for many different types of pets. While I was in college, I continued gaining experience by working at Red Dog Pet Resort during school breaks when I came home. In addition to that, I now do pet sitting on the side and have cared for up to nine animals at once (five dogs and four cats), all with unique personalities and needs. I also grew up with two dogs and two cats of my own, who have since passed away. Having pets my whole life has made my love for animals even stronger, and I understand how important they are as members of the family. I always strive to provide safe, attentive, and loving care for every pet I look after. I work full time Monday through Thursday and am usually off around 4:30 PM on those days. I also have a hybrid schedule, so I work from home a lot of the time, which gives me additional flexibility for pet care visits during the day when my schedule allows. During the week, I’m typically available for evening visits and walks, and from Friday through Sunday I’m off, which allows me to be much more flexible and available for daytime visits, walks, and check-ins. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my main goal is to keep them relaxed, safe, and content in the place they know best. I do my best to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—whether that includes meals at certain times, walks, playtime, or simply quiet companionship. I also ensure water bowls are kept fresh, litter boxes or potty areas stay clean, and your pet receives plenty of care and attention while you’re away.

“We had Monica let our dog out a couple times while we were gone for an overnight. She was great! We didn't have a chance to meet before hand as it was a last minute request but I was able to leave a key and instructions. She was great with our dog, filled his food and water, let him out, took him for a little walk, and even sent us a photo/updates. Would definitely recommend her if you need someone to care for your dog!”

Stephanie R.

“Stephanie has taken care of my pets a couple of times now & my pets were happy and well-cared for at home Receiving daily updates with pictures and messages is a blessing while being away knowing my anxious dog & cats are in good hands”

Preethi K.

“Absolutely amazing experience! He went above and beyond; took great care of both my home and my pet. He truly spent quality time with my pet, giving him lots of attention and love. My pet was happy and relaxed when I got back. Best sitter I’ve had on Rover, hands down!”

About: I grew up on a dairy farm and have always had cats and dogs around. My kids are excited to learn some responsibility through animal care along with my supervision and spend time with dogs. Recently retired from corporate world and children expressed interest in dog walking/boarding. Good opportunity to walk and teach children lessons in pet care while spending time bonding with dogs. We have a fully fenced backyard in addition to a bonus room that the animal would stay in while boarded. My children and I would show a lot of care and attention to your pet.

About: I’ve always had a dog and cat in my life. I will go out of my way to give your dog security and care. No matter how detailed your routine is. No problem . I’m a retired nurse from Canada. I have a lot of flexibility in my day to accommodate your pets needs. Any certain time you need pet care for meds, etc. I will always try and be there for your pet. I have a fenced yard. 2 friendly Pomeranians and a cat. I will always treat your animal with the same love and respect, that I give my own.

About: As a rising third-year veterinary student at the University of Illinois, I bring both professional training and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for. Through my veterinary education and hands-on clinical experience, I have worked with animals of many breeds, sizes, ages, energy levels, and temperaments—including shy, anxious, high-energy, and senior pets. My experience has taught me how to safely handle animals, recognize signs of stress or illness, and adapt my approach to each pet’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pet loves playtime and attention or prefers a calmer, quieter environment, I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and have experience with feeding routines, medications, and providing patient, attentive care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone dependable, communicative, and trustworthy, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated so you can feel confident they are in good hands. My schedule is very flexible this summer! I am currently working part-time and participating in some veterinary shadowing experiences, but outside of that I have wide availability for pet care. I am available most weekends and have flexibility throughout the week, especially during mornings and evenings. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that best fit their pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a veterinary student, I have experience recognizing signs of stress, illness, and discomfort in animals and understand the importance of careful, attentive care. I strive to create a calm and positive environment for every pet while respecting their normal routines and boundaries. I know how important trust is when someone else is caring for your pet, so I will always communicate clearly, provide updates, and treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs extra patience, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Nina did an outstanding job taking care of our bunny. She was very attentive and prompt with messages/updates. She made our first experience with Rover an excellent one, and we will definitely seek her help again in the future.”

About: What sets me apart is my experience and flexibility. I started pet sitting in college and have always loved caring for animals. Now that I work locally with summer hours ending before 5, I’m able to offer reliable drop-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I treat every pet like my own and understand how important consistency and trust are for pet owners Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I work in Hyde Park, so I’m already in the area during the week. On Wednesdays I’m off at 1, Thursdays at 2, and Fridays I’m off all day, which gives me plenty of flexibility. I care for pets like they’re part of the family. My own dogs are definitely spoiled — we have a 10.5-year-old Lab/Collie mix and recently adopted a 1-year-old Chihuahua mix — so I’m used to caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and comfort to help them feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away
