“Breanna was available for visits on a short notice. She responds immediately and sends detailed updates. She made pretty good progress engaging our shy cat in two visits.”
About: I’ve take care of my friend’s dog while she’s away for traveling. My responsibilities included ensuring frequent and timely potty breaks and managing his high energy levels through structured play and walks. I strictly adhered to his feeding routine and followed all specific care instructions provided by my friend. This experience reinforced my ability to be responsible, attentive, and consistent, confirming my passion for providing reliable care for dogs. I am confident in my skills to adapt to any dog’s individual needs and maintain their comfort and routine while their owners are away. I‘m available before 9 AM in the morning and after 6 PM in the afternoon during weekdays. I’m available during weekends. I’m usually available during holidays because I’m more of a homebody and not traveling very often. I will record and memorize every specific detail and note of caution provided by the client. I treat all these key pieces of information as the main care guideline.
“Yesenia is amazing. This is our first time leaving our cat after we got her from the streets, so we're a bit reluctant, but Yesenia gave us updates every single time. We'll definitely ask Yesenia again next time”
“Great walker! Very reliable, punctual, and caring. My dog was happy and well taken care of, and I really appreciated the updates and photos during the walk. You can tell they genuinely love animals and treat them with care. I would definitely book again and highly recommend!”
“Calvin and Monica were quick to reply, professional, and kind. They took great pictures of my cats and sent thorough reports! Thank you, Calvin and Monica!”
“1st time away from my kids for more than two nights & also this was my 1st time using Rover. Anxiety is running super high but everything went off without a hitch. Nicole was extremely professional an took great care of my kids! I will be using Rover & hoping that I can book Nicole again.”
About: My family has two dogs and I was frequently put in charge of taking care of them when my parents were out of town. One of our dogs is blind at this point and has ear troubles and a bunch of other problems but he is so sweet that he’s still by far my favorite (he’s the big white floofy one if you look at my photos). But my parents live in Cleveland so now I miss my little doggo friends. As such, any new dog I sit will be showered with playtime and affection :) I currently work full time however I work from home. So, my schedule can be pretty flexible especially for mid day walks and things like that but generally after work (past 5 pm) would be ideal. There are no other pets in the house I live in but there is a nice yard to play in if I attach a leash to the porch. The house itself is also very spacious with plenty of room for a crate if need be. I can would be very flexible and respectful when using someone else’s home.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, dogs are a girl’s best friend! I love animals and I treat any dog as if they were my own. I’m very reliable and always available by phone. I work in office 4 days a week, remote one day a week. After work I am available for drop in visits and dog walking services. Saturday I also have availability for both services as well. I have a high fence around my home and large yard space. Both great for running around and getting the zoomies out. I live in the city so I am near great dog parks to take dogs to. For drop in visits, I follow the pet owner’s instructions as to how to care for their pets as they prefer.
About: Hi! I’m Emily — a dependable and caring animal lover based in Chicago. I’ve had medium to large dogs my whole life, so I’m very comfortable handling different energy levels, personalities, and needs. I also volunteer at PAWS Chicago, where I spend time caring for and working with dogs of different temperaments. This has given me experience reading dog behavior and helping them feel safe and comfortable in new environments. I currently don’t have a dog of my own at home, which allows me to give my full attention to the pets I’m caring for and be flexible with scheduling. My family dog Bella likes to come for a visit here and there for a few days in a row. She will not be with on our walks or home visits. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I’m happy to adjust to your dog’s routine, energy level, and personality. Whether your dog needs a long walk, playtime, or just some company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m very responsive, detail-oriented, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet like they’re my own and aim to make the experience stress-free for both you and your dog. Feel free to reach out with any questions — I’d love to meet you and your pup! I work in education so during the school year Monday-Friday I am free after about 4pm. I open on the weekends. During June-August I have a free schedule I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment whether I’m in your home or out on walks. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walking, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m experienced with medium to large dogs and comfortable handling different energy levels and personalities. I prioritize safety on walks by using secure leashing and staying aware of surroundings, and I always make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also very communicative and will send regular updates and photos so you feel confident while you’re away.
“Ericka helped us while we were on vacation by checking on our cat, making sure she had fresh food/water and a clean litter box. She sent us pictures of our kitty and gave us updates at every check-in. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Michael was easy to work with and it really seems like he enjoys spending time with animals. Any pet would be in good hands with him. Will definitely be in touch with him again!”
About: I haven't formally cared for animals, but I've fostered for a pit bull rescue in the past. I can also care for chinchillas because my partner has two that I care for when she is away. I'm a teacher about to be on summer break and will have a flexible schedule to work with you and your needs. I'm a teacher with CPS, and I'm about to go on break, but I maintain a consistent routine during summer because I typically always work. I wake up early every morning and can accommodate your schedule! We just bought a house with a fenced-in yard. We don't have kids, so our home can be a calm environment should your pet have anxiety needs or doesn't thrive around children. Our only pets right now are two chinchillas that have their own closed-off area. You can rest assured knowing your beloved pets are cared for during any vacation need you have!
“Kexin was incredible! I was very nervous about leaving my kitty home for the first time, but Kexin sent me so many photos it was like I never left! I came back to a very happy and well taken care of cat all because of Kexin. 100/10 amazing cat sitter!”
“Joselin was so kind and responsive. He took care of my sweet baby cat for two days very well. She is so communicative! She sent a lot of photos and videos of my cat. Highly recommended.”
“Wendy took such great care of my cats! She gave detailed updates of each visit and took a lot of cute pictures. It's comforting knowing they were well taken care of while I was away!”
“Allison was wonderful with my two cats as a pet sitter. One of my cats had some accidents and she cleaned it all up without any hesitation. She followed all directions perfectly and I will 100% rebook her!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of or have had animals since I was a child. Currently I have a cat named Ida who is very sweet & affectionate. I’m a grad school student & interning as a hospital social worker Monday, Wednesday, and a half day Friday. I have availability Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, & Sunday. On my free days, I can prioritize your pets needs! My environment is animal friendly. I have a fenced in back yard and live near a park. I have a cat named Ida who is welcoming to new animals inside our home. I allow animals on my bed and furniture.

We have been working with Ayla for a couple of years while she lived in Chicago, and we were so sad to learn she was moving home to PGH after graduation. Ayla is extremely reliable and such a wonderful pet sitter. She is very detail-oriented and prepared for every visit. She most recently cared for our cat (cranky) but also has experience with our dog (pittie), and they are both enamored with her. She truly got to know our pets, and her care for them exceeded our expectations. She always provided regular and consistent photos and updates, easing our minds while we were away. From drop-ins to house sitting, we always came home to happy and healthy pets and a clean apartment at that. There's no need to look any further for your go-to sitter because Ayla is it! We can't thank her enough!
Calvin was an amazing pet sitter and we will absolutely book with them again. He was very responsive, asked specific questions about our pets that showed his experience, and was incredibly easy to work with. It was clear that Calvin took the time to get to know our two cats and their personalities. His summaries and the pictures made us feel so much better about leaving for several days in a row. I highly recommend Monica and Calvin to anyone who wants a worry free vacation away from their fur children.
Lourdes was amazing with my kitty’s. she also was flexible and easy to book with (despite it being last minute on my end) so that made it all very easy. I came back to a clean space and happy cats. My boy cat is usually shy/ timid but he warmed right up to her. Very grateful to have found her 💕😻
