“I have booked with Eunice multiple times now (some very last minute bookings) and she always does a great job checking in and taking care of my Doberman. Eunice always makes sure my energetic dog gets enough attention and exercise throughout the visit.”

“Noa is very friendly with my pup ! She’s very well at communicating with you and showing up in a timely manner. I can’t wait to have her watch my dog again.”
About: I've owned pets (both cats and dogs) since I was very young, including pets that required special care and medicine. We've owned multiple senior pets, having cared for them from puppy/kitten age through their senior years. Other than pets we have adopted at an older age, I have helped care for our pets throughout their entire life, starting from a couple of months of age. I would be able to help with pets that require medication or special care routines, as well as adjust to their activity levels. I also have experience as an assistant at a veterinary office, so I am comfortable working with animals in general, including larger breeds of dogs. I also have experience with pet sitting/house sitting for my friends and family on multiple occasions! I'm currently a graduate student at UIC, working on research in the areas of Chemical Biology and Synthetic Chemistry. During the week, I am usually on campus during the day in classes, meetings, lab, etc., but I am available to provide excellent service any day of the week. I would be able to perform morning, evening, and overnight services. I provide care in a manner that best suits your pet's needs. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort for your pets and strive to meet their needs to the best of my ability. If you would like any specific requests, just let me know, and I can adjust accordingly to make sure I meet and exceed your pet's care needs!
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of our Ikey! It was super easy working with Annie. She did everything we asked and even got in some really good playing time with Ike. I’m sure he really appreciates it and I know we really did as well. We will hopefully work with Annie again soon!”

“Morgan was awesome! We found her to be very professional! She communicated effectively by making sure we had a record of her checking-in and -out of visits, sending pictures, keeping cat areas clean (several times she took it upon herself to clean a few cat mishaps w/food), providing food and water, and then adding a personal note on how our two cats were doing. She demonstrated a real love and care for them. We highly recommend Morgan!”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has been caring for pets since I was 8 years old. I currently have a fur child of my own (A cat named Moo moo) and regularly pet sit for family members and neighbors in my apartment building. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s dog walks, playtime, feedings, cuddles, or keeping routines consistent, I treat every pet with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love. I’m currently offering part-time care with my availability being afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I can offer after-work walks, evening check ins, weekend care, and drop in visits for out of town trips. I’m happy to provide dependable walks, check ins, feedings, playtime, and companionship during my available hours. I understand that every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and routine, so I always try to approach each animal with patience, attentiveness, and care. Especially as a pet is getting to know me, I focus on creating a safe, calm environment where they can build trust and feel comfortable at their own pace. I also believe communication with pet owners is incredibly important. I take time to understand their pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can provide the best possible care. Beyond basic care, I want pets to feel genuinely loved, safe, and supported while their owner is away.
“Lelia was great with my 2 cats, one of them took a treat right from her hand! This was the kitty who usually doesn’t go near anyone except me. She was able to give my cat his medications , all 4 of them with no issues ! I would definitely recommend her to any pet owners to care for their pets.”

About: I am a lifetime dog owner, volunteer with Last Hope. I foster and rescue with PAWS. I volunteer for the animal program at The Nettlehorst School, and plan to open an animal sanctuary. I work part time and have flexible hours. I can meet almost any scheduling needs and will work with you to do what's best for you and your animal(s). My building has an indoor fenced dog park. I have an apartment with a large outdoor balcony. I will focus on your pet's safety above all else.
“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!”

“Caitlin was great!! From the beginning she was very communicative and it was easy to set a time for me to talk to her about my cats and what they needed when I was away. I have relatively shy cats and she was able to connect with both of them over the course of her visits and she sent me great photos of them! I’m so glad I’ve found someone I can trust with my little ones while I travel and I am looking forward to working with Caitlin again.”

“Diana is absolutely fantastic! She sent tons of adorable photo updates, so I always knew my Tilly Bear was happy and cared for. I came home to a spotless apartment—actually cleaner than when I left! Truly above and beyond. Highly recommend to anyone needing a reliable and thoughtful sitter.”

“Lindsay has been so amazing with our puppy Bellam! She’s responsive, communicates well, and follows instructions to a T. Never fails to tire him out so he just sleeps for as long as he can until we get home.”

About: Hi! I'm an active professional who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. Whether your pup needs a walk to burn off energy or a quick drop-in visit while you're away, I'll make sure they receive attentive, dependable care. I'm currently offering dog walks and drop-in visits, which fit well with my flexible evenings and weekends. I'm a runner and spend a lot of time outdoors, so I'm happy to tailor walks to your dog's energy level—whether it's a leisurely neighborhood stroll or a brisk adventure. I have rich experience caring for dogs belonging to friends and family, including boarding, walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping them company while their owners were away. On weekdays, I'm a runner with a 8-4 job; I spend a lot of time outdoors, especially in the evening and at night. Weekends usually aren't packed when I'm in town, happy to offer long walks esp during the day. I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, walks, medications (if applicable), playtime, and any house rules your pet is used to. Safety is always my top priority. I'll make sure your pet is securely leashed on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and keep a close eye on their comfort and behavior. I also understand that every pet has a unique personality and energy level, so I'll adjust my approach to match their needs. Communication is important to me. I'll send regular updates and photos after each visit or walk so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and stress-free while you're away.
“Tierney is an absolute life saver! I was recommended to her by another Rover on a very short notice. She made herself available to come over and watch my dogs for a couple hours at a time. She was fabulous with my two small dogs and made them comfortable, ensured they had time outside, treats, and cuddles. I am so grateful for Tierney! Can’t wait to use her services again in the future!”

110% recommend! My normally shy cat warmed up to her so quickly, and Susmitha’s daily report and check-in’s were always detailed and thorough. It’s very obvious how much love, care and attention she provides our furry babies when we’re away! Will definitely have her around more often! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Leila went above and beyond taking care of my kitties and even tidying some of the messes the cats made! I felt reassured knowing she was spending time with them and giving them attention. She's incredibly communicative, which I really appreciate when I'm far away.

Thank you so much Shan for taking care of my kitty. I was able to be stress free during my travel knowing my kitty was in good hands with Shan. Shan made sure to feed him, give him water, clean his litterbox and bonus plug something in for me. Shan is amazing and highly recommend! Shan took great care of my kitty, she played with him and gave me lots of videos. Will get Shan again to take care of my kitty.

Dom is a fantastic person to take care of your pets! She is very attentive, kind, and great with communication. I trust Dom coming into my home and looking after my cat. She follows instructions well, sends great photos and makes me feel at ease being away from my kitty! I will continue to book with Dom.

Lisa provided amazing service! We have reactive dogs and they did fantastic! This was the first time someone other than family took care of them. The fact they did great and really took to Lisa is a wonderful gift to us. Can’t thank her enough. Highly recommend!

I’m so grateful for Emmalyn and the care and comfort she provided my cats while I was gone for 11 days. I got updates each day with pictures included and my plants were taken care of. She is friendly and professional, and I look forward to having an opportunity to have her look after my cats again in the future
