“This was very pleasant experience. I loved getting pictures and knowing she was well taken care of. Andrea took her for walks and gave her allergy meds. I definitely will book her again for house sitting.”


“Andrew did a great job with updating us on how our pets were doing. Kratos seemed to enjoy his company. Overall very satisfied with his care and Andrew went above and beyond what we asked of him.”


“Coleen did a wonderful job watching Ollie while we were out of town for a few days. We received frequent updates and upfront information related to time spent with our pup. Coleen was very professional and responsive, we will request to book again soon! Thanks Coleen!”



“April is responsive, personable, and friendly. She stayed in our home and took great care of our cat and dog, who can be anxious and high-strung at times. We enjoyed getting pictures and updates while we were away. Highly recommend!”


“Renee is great. Simple as that. Our sometimes tweaky, neurotic terrier, Molly, loved every minute with her housesitter. Renee was thorough, attentive, playful, and giving. She went above and beyond to ensure Molly got all the snuggles, walks, required meds, and love she so needs. I don’t think she wanted her week with Renee to end. Renee is personable, on top of things, and clean. Was my home cleaner when I got back? Holy cow, it was. Thanks Renee. Book her now before I do, again and again.”


“Joseph is fantastic. 11/10 went above and beyond to make sure our pup and the house was very well taken care of. He really understands the dogs and puts our mind at ease while we're gone.”


“Jillian was fantastic! She helped me when I was in a serious bind. She’s responsive and respectful of my home. Mostly importantly she is kind, patient, and attentive to my dog who has a big personality. I would highly recommend her.”


“I had a wonderful experience with Klaudia! She was punctual, attentive, and so sweet to my pup. She followed all instructions perfectly and kept me updated throughout the stay. Highly recommend!”


“Mary took care of our dog at our house for 2 weeks around the holidays (while we were out of the country) and she was great! Our dog is a weirdo and Mary was patient and attentive to his quirkiness, as well as patient and friendly with our many texts to check in and make sure all was well. She sent the occasional photo and updated us throughout the time we were away. We will gladly have Mary stay again--thanks so much!”



“All I can say is wow!! Actually I can say more. We unfortunately had to go out of town last minute due to a death in the family. Our regular house/pup sitter is cutting back her time and was not available. So Rover to the rescue. We looked at Liz's profile and I contacted her right away. She responded immediately and came over to meet our kids in a few hours and we were able to leave the next day. Sheldon took an immediate shine to Liz. And if our dogs like you, we like you. Liz sent pics everyday which for this trip were so welcome to brighten our spirits. She left the house in an immaculate condition. I cant say enough good things about her!! She's a keeper.”


“This was my 1st time leaving my dog for a long weekend and I couldn’t have chosen a better caregiver for him. My Murphy is a rescue & has some anxiety issues but Jo handled him with patience, understanding and love. She tapped in to her knowledge of dogs and put both myself & Murphy at ease. She tried a few new toys/treats with him which he loved and sent me plenty of pics and videos of Murphy throughout the weekend. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again.”


“Tanisa did a great job looking after our two senior dogs for a week. She walked them every day and followed our instructions to a T. Great communication, lots of pictures, easy going and reliable! Came home to two relaxed dogs. We’ll definitely book with Tanisa again.”


“Casey was amazing! She took the time to learn about my dogs and their needs before her stay. She asked great questions about their personalities, behaviors, and training. While I was away, my three dogs were well cared for and Casey took great care with my home as well. I would highly recommend Casey!”


“Stephanie did an amazing job with my two elderly Boston Terriers. She always kept me updated every day and sent some great photos/videos. I highly recommend her for any sitter job. Thank you so much!”


“Tetiana was amazing and super caring for our dogs. one of the dogs got pneumonia 2 days before our trip and was it was very hard feeding him his medicine. although challenging Tetiana managed to give him medicine and keep his mood upbeat even while sick. She also was very understanding of our situation as we just moved and had many packed boxes in the house. She would keep us up to date with pictures and videos of our pets and we never felt more relieved. I cannot thank her enough and would definitely recommend her for your pets. She has a hidden talent of calming dog who go crazy once locking eyes with a squirrel, by the time we came back our dog was trained and not pulling. It was absolutely shocking how much calmer he got with Tetiana training in place. ❤️”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life! From neighbors to friends/family! It’s my favorite and brings me so much happiness! That’s why I currently own two small dogs. Im currently a stay at home mom and would love to host some different pups! My two schnauzers love making friends. It would be awesome for everyone! I walk my dogs multiple times a day and take them to my local dog park! I’m home so I’m able to focus all my attention on your little one.

About: Hi I’m Patrick! I love dogs and have been around them most of my life, I have three of my own named Bubba, Sassy and Neo who I walk every day. I will be very patient and kind with your pup as if they were my own and make sure they’re having as much fun as I’ll be having! I love all animals including cats but sadly I have family that is allergic so that is a no go but I would definitely consider myself a dog person anyway , no dog is too big or too small for me I’ll love em all the same. Id be ecstatic to add ur dogs to my daily routine:) Questions are welcome of course! My schedule is relatively flexible besides taking care of my own dogs. I am somewhat limited in means of transportation since I ride my bike to get around but that won’t stop me from meeting new dogs! If you do chose me to walk your dog we can discuss what would be best for picking them up for the walk and dropping them back off at your home. If your dog is crate trained I have no problem making sure they go into their crate before I leave.

About: Hi, I’m Vanessa! I’m currently in college but my family has been fostering dogs since I was in middle school, so I have experience with every kind of dog from 8-week puppies to older dogs to three legged ones! I currently have 2 rescues I help take care of and train, and love volunteering at animal shelters(Chicago Canine and Wright Way) in my free time, so I have a wide variety of experiences when it comes to caring for animals. Whether it be walking one dog or bathing a van load of puppies, I love spending time with all dogs!!!! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time for walks, check-ins, and overnight stays. I’m available during the weekdays and most weekends, and my schedule is very flexible. I have experience with basic dog training classes, and my two dogs are both crate trained so I can follow any dogs schedule, strict or relaxed, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable. I also love to play with them and help them get the physical and mental stimulation they need to be happy and healthy!
