Donna was wonderful! She texted pictures and updates every time she was here. Henry really liked her, and he was well taken care of. It gave me peace of mind knowing that he was happy. I would hire Donna again any time.

Absolutely recommend Rebeca! You can tell she really cares about dogs and loves what she does. My dog Snoopy has anxiety & is very shy at first but he felt at ease with her as soon as he met her during the meet and greet. She was so gentle, patient & sweet with him right away. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. I will def be booking with her again!

About: I give a lot of attention to dogs and can walk them on extra long walks if needed. For puppies, if they need to play with other dogs, I have my own senior dog (shihtzu-terrier mix) they can play with. I’m currently working part-time on nights so I can walk and feed your dogs as needed. I’m very flexible with your schedule and can be available when needed. I can offer the dog lots of attention, TLC, extra long walks, feeding, and/or any medicine needed to take orally. I also have a car and can pick up/drop off the dog when needed.

Ella is terrific! She always arrived on the scheduled visit times and shared photos with us from her drop-in visits. This was our first time using Rover and the first weekend our new kittens have had a kitty sitter. Everything went great and we will definitely look for availability with Ella for future visits.

Leah was great! It was wonderful to have someone who overthought feeding my boys and making sure they got their medicines. One of my boys is super shy and she took the time to find his hiding spots to check on him and even sat near by to lure him out. My other guy got lots of attention as well. Leah also went beyond cat sitting to water the plants, bring in the mail and brought in the trash cans from the curb.

About: Ever since I was a child, I have had a passion for dogs and animals of all sorts. Growing up in the Philippines, my relatives found it strange to have such compassion for animals. I'd always begged my parents for a dog while doing avid research and volunteering at pet-related jobs to prepare myself if my dream was to come true. When I was 17, my parents finally agreed to get a dog-- but not just any dog. I wanted my dream dog: an Alaskan Malamute. Huge, stubborn, and a daily shedder, it was a huge challenge I took on myself. However, this Malamute was well trained, house-broken, and friendly. I believe I can take care of a dog of any size, temperament, or history. I am a graduate from the University of Illinois in Chicago with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology/Sociology. I volunteered at the Chicago Canine Rescue downtown where we play and walk with shelter dogs. I have copious experience with boarding, walking, and overall loving dogs. As a past dog boarder, I understand the care and attention that must be given to a pup to create a trusting bond with them. For more pictures of our past clients and to get a better idea how I interact with your pup, check out this instagram: powerpuffdogs May have to step out a few times a day, or if I have an outing I would make sure your pup has had plenty of exercise and pets before leaving. I adhere as closely as possible to the pet’s existing schedule— routine is key! Other than that, if you are comfortable with it, I can take your dog on forest walks, dog parks (only if you’d like, and with ample supervision), or on play dates with my own well-socialized dogs!

About: I am currently a college student who loves animals. I have a dog and three cats at home, and I have volunteered at animal shelters in the past, so I’m very experienced with pets. While I am newer to house sitting, I am definitely not new to loving and caring for our furry friends! I work part time so I am available multiple times every day. I can stop by homes in the morning before work, and then after work in the afternoon and evening. I walk my dog and he loves our fenced in yard. I also am accustomed to feeding and cleaning litter boxes. And of course, care, love and attention are important every day!

Stephen and Donna did an excellent job walking our Great Pyrenees mix several times over a few weeks. You could feel their love for dogs from the moment we met them and they were very communicative and kind throughout the whole process. Our boy enjoyed and looked forward to his walks with them and we would definitely recommend and use their services in the future.

About: Hi there! I'm Dana, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for a wide variety of pets including dogs, cats, birds, fish, rats and other exotic animals. I currently have two cats and an axolotl myself, and throughout my life I've helped care for everything from energetic puppies and independent cats, to birds, aquatic critters, and other unique companions. I believe every animal is different and deserves patient, individualized care. One of the most important lessons I've learned over the years is that trust takes time, and building a positive relationship with a pet starts with kindness, consistency, and understanding their unique personality. Whether your pet is outgoing and playful or shy and cautious, I take the time to help them feel safe and comfortable. When caring for your pets, I treat them as if they were my own. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship while you're away, my goal is to ensure your pets are happy, comfortable, well cared for, and that you have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I'm committed to providing regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Unfortunately, Rover does not allow me to show my specific availability. I currently work full-time, so for dog walking and check-ins my availability will be: Monday: 5am-6am and 6:30pm-8pm Tuesday-Friday: 5am-6am and 4pm-8pm Saturday: 5am-6am and 10am-9pm Sunday: 5am-8pm I care for every pet as if they were my own and work to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while you're away. Whether you have cats, dogs, fish, birds, or other small and exotic pets, I'll follow your care instructions carefully and make sure their individual needs are met. For dogs, this includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. For cats, I'll provide fresh food and water, litter box maintenance, enrichment, and affection based on their comfort level. I'm also happy to care for fish, birds, reptiles, and other pets by maintaining their feeding schedules, cleaning habitats as needed, and monitoring their overall well-being. I'm comfortable administering medications when required and will keep a close eye on your pet's health and behavior. During each visit, I'll provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I'll also treat your home with respect and leave it clean, tidy, and secure.

About: I have a half Australian shepherd half poodle named Luna! She’s been with me for 13 years since she was a puppy. I’ve grown up around dogs and cats since a young age and have lots of love towards them. They’re awesome and I’d love to help care for yours! I’m currently working a full time position that is predominately remote, with me having to go into the downtown office once a week. My schedule varies week by week. I am responsible and can hopefully get any special requests executed. I follow directions super well and am trustworthy. It’s scary having a stranger take care of your pet, I get it. They will be in special hands!

The best pet sitter. Rosy literally just saved my cat’s life, when she noticed he was not his usual self, took him to the vet, where they identified he had a urinary blockage and likely just hours to live. How lucky for us that Rosy was caring for our animals and so observant. Thank you, forever. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Beyond grateful that I connected with Lauren and Lauren, and they could help with our cat while our entire family traveled together. Communication is always quick, clear, and helpful. They flagged every visit, and kept me updated with all the details from each house visit for our cat. Will absolutely keep them at the top of the list for any future needs!
