“Gheraldine is very sweet! She was attentive in understanding Bruno’s needs for the day, and when I received my card at the end of the day, my dog was well looked after. Thank you!!”

About: I’m a professional groomer and lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m originally from Cuba and have always been surrounded by animals growing up. I understand how important pets are to every family, so I treat them with patience, love, and attention like they are my own. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, brushing, playtime, and providing a calm environment for anxious or senior pets. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have availability throughout the entire week and a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. I always make sure pets stay comfortable, safe, and happy while following their normal routines as closely as possible. I live in my own home with a fully fenced yard where pets can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time. I also have a separate room dedicated just for pets, giving them a quiet, comfortable, and stress-free space to relax if needed. I work as a groomer, so I’m experienced in handling animals patiently and gently. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority.
“As a worried mom of a 9 week old puppy I was hesitant to leave her with someone new for the first time but Natalie made me feel so much at ease updating me throughout the day while I was at work and and reassuring me that she was doing great. I will be booking with her again! 🐶”

“Maria is definitely a 5 Star pet sitter! We contacted her somewhat last minute for our 2 pups. She was so friendly and welcoming, also sent several photos and updates throughout the day which was so comforting.”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I raised two dogs from puppyhood. Lucy lived to 18, and my current pup, Porscha, is now 14. I also have a 15 year old cat, AppleJack, I’ve had since she was a kitten. So I know what it’s like to care for pets at every stage of life, from playful zoomies to slower senior strolls. I started pet sitting because I wasn’t looking to commit to another full time pet, but I still wanted to spend my days caring for animals and helping fellow pet parents. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight stay, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m especially great with: Puppies and senior pets Shy or anxious animals Keeping routines and providing lots of updates (with cute pics!) At Playful Paws, your pet will feel safe, loved, and totally at home. I work fully remote, and so does my husband, which gives us the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or some evening cuddles, we’re usually home and available to help. Being remote means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and we can easily adjust to their routine. Weekdays, weekends, we’re here to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them in your home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, love, and respect for their routine. At home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces, a clean setting, and plenty of playtime. My husband and I both work remotely, so someone’s almost always home for companionship and supervision. In your home, I’m mindful of your space and your pet’s habits. I follow instructions closely, whether that’s meal times, meds, or favorite toys, and I always keep things tidy and secure. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in caring, capable hands.
“My dog shadow told me he had the best time with Valerie!!! She is literally the best! She sent me photos of shadow every day, I was able to communicate with her easily and coordinating everything was super easy. She is probably the best dog sitter here on Rover!!!”

“When I picked up my dog, he looked genuinely happy and comfortable. It was clear he was well cared for and enjoyed his stay. I really appreciate the great care, and I’ll definitely be leaving him more often in the future!”
“Camilla and Maribela were amazing take care of our two dogs for the day! They were very sweet and attentive to the two pups, and sent us the cutest photos of the dogs having a great time. We were running late to pick up the dogs due to traffic, and they were so accomodating and understanding. We will go to them again when we need a dog sitter!”

Pets are never unsupervised. They have access to a fenced yard 24/7. Minimum of 24 hours is required to allow for possible meet/greet prior to booking A dedicated fenced clean yard adjacent to an indoor area with AC, crates, food preparation, and "comfy" furniture.

“Great sitters for the evening while we had dinner out. Our dog has severe anxiety, happy pup as long as he humans like Vadim & Stacy to keep him company.”

“My dog comes home happy every day. She’s very flexible with drop off and pick up. I work long hours and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg for 8+ hours of daycare. I have peace of mind knowing that my dog is in good hands. Definitely recommend Brigitta to anyone who needs to find a reliable sitter for their dog!”

“Francis was amazing! I had never left our 4 month old puppy with a dogsitter before, but I felt so comfortable leaving him with Francis. She has a beautiful open home where the doggies can play inside and outside all day and receive lots of human attention. When I brought our dog back for the second day he was so excited to see Francis! She is so warm and loving. I have already booked her again.”

Melrose Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Brigitta was amazing! I don’t even know how to describe how awesome she was. We were in town for a week going to a conference and wanted someone to play with our very energetic puppy. She took him running or walking every day. She even went roller blading with him! She sent us photos and updated us throughout the day without us asking. By the end of the week, our dog knew when we were getting close to her place and started getting so excited. If you are looking for someone to take excellent care of your dog, tire them out, or just be loved on….i would recommend Brigitta!

Natalie and her family are always an absolute pleasure! We wouldn’t trust anyone else to care for our fur baby, Pepper. I truly appreciate how they treat her like one of their own. They are our first choice, always and forever! We love you, Natalie and family. Repeat clients for life!
