Timothy is our puppy’s favorite sitter (and ours too!). It’s clear he really understands and empathizes with dogs of all ages and sizes. We’ve had multiple stays at Timothy’s place, and every time our dog comes home happy, well-cared for and occasionally having made new dog friends! We especially appreciate the way he handles our rambunctious labrador puppy- calm, kind, and confident. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in good hands. We’re grateful to have found him, highly recommend!

Amy provided exceptional care for Maeve during her time at daycare. Maeve had an amazing time playing with her new friend Frank, and Amy treated her with the same warmth and attention as if she were her own. I highly recommend Amy and look forward to booking with her again!

We have definitely found our new permanent Dog sitter here in Chicago! I had a last-minute work emergency and Ksenia was SO responsive & flexible; I couldn’t be more grateful. Drop off was super easy and Nipsey came home happy and tuckered out. Couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience! 10/10 would recommend 🤩

About: What sets me aside from other sitters is the love i have for animals. Since i was a little girl I've always loved being around animals they were and still are very therapeutic to me. I've had big dogs from Pitbull's, Dobermann, American bullies, all the way down to tiny dogs; yorkies, shitzu etc. even different kinds of cats you name it. As I've gotten older I've gained sooo much experience to the point I've had at home births with my dogs and cats all by myself; even home training my own animals as well. My goal here is to gain a work related reputation where i can truly start doing what i love and make a name for myself until i can become that super Veterinarian I've always dreamed of being. So far all i have is personal experience with dealing with animals at home and at my job(My residents animals). This would truly mean a lot if i can show off my skills and how genuine i am with animals and even people. Pet Care currently fits for me during the week days. I work doubles every Saturday and Sunday; whereas for school i do online Vet courses which is self pace. Which means i am free during the week Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm if communicated at least at least 30min-1hr in advanced i could stay later if needed. Although, I am a mother which means i can not do any services past 7pm nor any over night services. I also am located downtown Chicago but I am willing to travel!! One thing about me i will spoil your baby(s) haha; I am very hands on and affectionate with animals unless they require space lol. I have never been a crate animal person BUT i know every household is different and every animal requires different training. Again, animals bring a lot of joy to my heart; very therapeutic for me and if given the chance you wouldn't be disappointed i promise!.

Ashley and her daughter Marina are incredibly conscientious and caring. Every time I bring my dog to their place, he is excited to run up the stairs and be reunited with his extended family. He truly loves them, and I can see how much they love him as well. 10/10, would recommend Ashley’s services to anyone!

About: ​With a love of animals and a dog of my own, I understand that your furry friend is family. I’m an active person who believes a tired dog is a happy dog, so I love taking frequent, long walks to keep pups healthy and stimulated. ​Whether it's a quick potty break or a holiday boarding stay, I provide a safe, loving environment where your pet will be treated just like one of my own. I have a hybrid work schedule and am able to provide lunch walks. I can also do morning and evening walks as I'm used to frequent walking with my own dog. My building has a long dog run ideal for playing fetch. I also walk my dog 3 to 5 miles daily and can do the same with yours!

Hua / Katrina was phenomenal! My dog, Moka, is a highly energetic and excitable dog and Hua was able to care for her so well and was so accommodating. She kept me updated throughout the day with thoughtful notes and sent me videos/pictures of Moka. Hua is an amazing dog sitter and I would definitely have her care for Moka again.

I hired Pamela to watch my doggo across two business days when I had longer meetings. She was kind enough to schedule a meet and greet ahead of time and very responsive overall. The best cue was on day 2 when my dog was SO excited to see her. She's a bit nervous around new people so the fact that she warmed up to Pamela so quickly means she felt safe and loved. Will absolutely book again with Pamela :)

Maya is amazing, caring and communicative! I was in pinch and needed help with my mini dachshund during the workday and she was great. She was prompt grabbing him and dropping him off to me, she gave me many updates and pictures during the day, and best of all, my highly anxious dog with separation anxiety had a great time with her and her sweet dog, Taz (she shared a video of them playing with lots of tail wagging)! Will be using her going forward :)

We are so happy we found Luxi. She got back to me right away and said yes without any hassle, which put me at ease from the start. She took such good care of Hazel all day and sent me updates that made me smile. You can tell she truly loves dogs. Hazel came home happy, tired, and clearly well looked after. We already want to book with her again. If you need someone kind and reliable for your pup, she is the one.

This was our puppy’s very first sitting experience. We needed a sitter for a few hours during our trip to Chicago. From the moment we arrived, Zuma jumped right into Rachael’s arms, which immediately made us feel that she was experienced with dogs and had a calming presence. He seemed to feel safe and comfortable with her right away. It looks like he was able to relax and enjoy his time there. We would definitely recommend Rachael to other pet parents.
