“Mario was great for our dogs and really cared for them while we were out of town. We were worried leaving during fireworks since one is terrified, but he calmed him down great! Mario was very informative and replied quickly. We will definitely use him again!”
“Best sitter ever! Helped our anxious dogs through a week of our absence and allowed my family and I to enjoy a vacation and family wedding with ease! Thank you SO much, Yazmin!”
“We are very pleased with our first drop in with Jackie. Our dog is very anxious around all people and Jackie understood Nabi’s special needs, was on time and very communicative! We will be requesting more drop-ins with Jackie!”
About: I have hands-on experience dog sitting for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, administering basic care, maintaining routines, and ensuring each dog feels safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m attentive, reliable, and always prioritize a dog’s well-being, safety, and individual needs. If you text me ahead of time I normally free everyday. I only work randomly 1-2x a week and my shifts aren’t long making my schedule very open. I also have 2 dogs of my own boy and girl that I take care of everyday. Please NOTE I HAVE 2 DOGS OF MY OWN. I CANT ACCEPT SICK DOGS OR UNFRIENDLY DOGS. I closely follow owner instructions, monitor behavior and health, and ensure secure spaces during walks, playtime, and rest. By creating a consistent and stress-free environment, I help dogs feel comfortable, protected, and confident while their owners are away. I also have a fenced in yard for them to go to the bathroom.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life — from growing up with them to raising my own now. I currently care for a black Lab with a strong personality, so I understand leash control, structure, and clear boundaries. I’m calm, consistent, and confident with all breeds, including high-energy or reactive dogs. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walks, feeding, cleanup, and calming routines. Whether your dog needs structured exercise or just a reliable visitor, I’m ready to show up. I work part-time with a consistent, flexible routine that allows me to care for your dogs during the day. I’m available for walks and drop-ins: • Mondays after 11:00 AM • Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays after 8:00 AM If your dog needs structured exercise, calm energy, or just a mid-morning break, I’ve got you covered. While I do not offer in-home boarding, I provide dependable drop-ins and walks tailored to your dog’s needs. I live with my own dog, Sam, who is reactive to other animals, so I cannot bring pets into my home — but this also means I understand how to work calmly and respectfully with dogs that may need space or structure. I’m confident handling leash reactivity, high-energy dogs, and special instructions.
About: I’m a pet loving individual here to help and protect your fur babies in your absence. My name is Cynthia and I currently have two cats, one beagle/hound dog, one hermit crab and a beta fish. I am patient, flexible, caring and have dog and cat training experience, since I grew up with pets of all kinds. I have experience with both large and small dog breeds. I’m flexible with whatever the needs are of your animal and will treat your dog/cat like our own plus accommodate as necessary. I’m active and love going on dog walks or cat sitting and look forward to taking care of your fur babies. Happy to provide references. I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to take care of more than one pet. I’m also flexible either morning or evening works good for me. I have a big fenced yard and two crates (size small and medium) if needed. I also have a friendly dog who can play and keep your fur baby company.
“Dan was a much appreciated help with my 2 cats while I was out of the country for 2 weeks! He was attentive and provided great descriptions and photos after each visit. Cannot recommend his services enough, will definitely go to him again next time.”
About: 🐾 About us Certified Dog Trainer (Animal Behavior College – Positive Reinforcement Based Training) I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and what started as helping family and friends turned into a true passion and profession. My wife and I both work from home, which means your dog receives consistent supervision, structure, and plenty of attention throughout the day. 📍 Located 10 minutes from O’Hare — perfect for travelers. 🕒 Drop-Off & Pick-Up Hours Monday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Tuesday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Wednesday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Thursday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Friday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Saturday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Sunday: 12:30 PM – 9:00 PM Please select a specific 30-minute drop-off and pick-up window when booking. I ask that you arrive within that window so we can keep transitions smooth, organized, and stress-free for everyone. If anything changes, just communicate as early as possible — I completely understand that travel plans can shift. 🏡 Our Home & Philosophy We have a fully fenced yard and a dog-friendly home designed with safety in mind. Playtime is always supervised, and dogs only interact if we’re 100% confident they get along. It’s completely okay if your dog prefers people over other dogs — we respect every dog’s personality. Each dog enjoys free roaming, walks, and one-on-one interaction with us — they’re treated like part of the home, not just part of a group. 📋 Requirements Dogs must be crate trained and comfortable resting in a crate when needed. They must also be up to date on all required vaccinations to ensure the health and safety of every dog in our care. These standards help us maintain a calm, structured, and safe environment for everyone. 📸 Updates You’ll receive daily updates with photos so you can relax knowing your best friend is in great hands. 🐾 Our biggest priorities are ❤️ Love, 🛡 Safety, 🤝 Trust, and 🏡 Comfort. Our number one rule: no dog is ever put in a position where they feel they have to defend themselves.
“Karina was amazing while watching my lil cat while I was gone on a long trip. I came home and Peach was well cared for and happy. Karina sent lots of cute pictures and updates every day about my lil lady.”
About: I have over 9 years of experience as a dedicated pet owner. I've successfully managed a multi-pet household with both cats and dogs, understanding the unique needs and personalities of each individual. For the past 4 years, I have cared for family and friends pets with overnight stay and evening play-dates with my pets. My experience includes: Feeding, grooming, administering medications, and providing fresh water. I've successfully trained multiple puppies using positive reinforcement methods, focusing on basic obedience, socialization, and leash walking. Litter care: I have experience assisting with the care of pregnant dogs and their litters, including monitoring the mother's health, assisting with whelping, and ensuring the proper care and development of the puppies. I understand the dynamics of a multi-pet household and can effectively manage interactions between different species, ensuring a harmonious and safe environment for all. I am adept at observing animal behavior, identifying potential issues, and implementing appropriate solutions, such as addressing separation anxiety or destructive behaviors. Feel free to inquire on experience for special circumstances or special pet needs. I am able to give most attention Friday-Monday and provide more frequent bathroom breaks to pets (dogs). Tuesday-Thursday I have a more limited schedule and can only dedicate time early morning (6-830AM) and evening (after 4PM). Feedings and bathroom break must happen during those timeframes. I am open to caring for multiple pets from same household, but not from different households. I have a fenced yard and a friendly female Labrador that lives with me part-time. My partner and I have separate households and we share her care and quality time. My pet may not be in the home, but when she is present she does well with other dogs and is crate trained.
About: I am an experienced, reliable and dependable pet lover. I have grown up my whole life with animals. I recently had to put my senior pitbull down so my house is very quiet now. Pet care is my passion and currently my main source of income and work. I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am interested in walking, daily visits, or overnight boarding anytime of the week. Our home has a large fenced in yard, perfect for your pup to enjoy some fresh air, or bask in the sunshine. I can take your pet on walks or they can run around in the yard. Or we can snuggle up on the couch and get lots of belly rubs.
About: I provide exceptional care and have much love for dogs and all animals. I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life, and love walking, feeding, and spending time with them.

I am currently a college student and have plenty of time for pet care. I don’t mind stopping in 1-3 times a day to entertain, take care, feed, and/or walk your pets. I will treat your pet and house with kindness and respect. I have pleanty of patience and energy and love playing with pets. I will make sure your pet has all needs taken care of.
Niles dog parents share their Rover experiences
Elva was great with my dogs! She is professional, reliable, always on time, and truly cares about making sure my babies get the most out of their visit. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands, and they were always happy and well cared for after spending time with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
We had Nicholas care for our dog and four cats while we were away, including administering medication twice daily for one of our cats. Overall, he was reliable and made sure everyone was fed, cared for, and safe. We appreciated the photos and updates during visits. Our dog did get spooked during one walk due to a loud car and had a harder time going out after that, so more backyard time was used. There was an accident during one of the visits, which he handled and cleaned up, and we appreciated that. Overall, we’re grateful our pets were well cared for and would book again.
Thanks for all your love and help with timo during my vacations. For anyone that is thinking in someone to trust to be at your home when you are not Jamie is the person, she keep the keys of my home for a month and she is super responsible and take care of my dog with so much love, always make sure he is happy , safe and give me all the updates needed.
Paige is amazing! She’s so friendly & is such a reliable and responsive dog sitter. We could always count on her and she was so flexible when our schedule would change last minute. Was a huge relief knowing she was there to take care of our 2 year old mini bernedoodle & give her love and cuddles. Would highly recommend!!
