About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was around 7 years old. I’ve owned cats, dogs, hamsters a rabbit and a snake! I’ve always had a strong passion for animals which eventually led me to becoming vegan almost 7 years ago! I’ve pet sit and gone on walks for family and friends over the years. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! This is my full time job and I’m currently trying to build up clientele so if you don’t see a time available that you need, please reach out so we can work something out. I am not able to board at my home due to my own animals but I am able to provide overnight services at your home.
About: I have trained and groomed my dog since he was a puppy, and we all know how dramatic Shibas can be. I approach all animals with love and patience in order to gain their trust, no matter the situation. I am incredibly affectionate so your pet will never feel out of place during their stay with me! I’m currently home at all times with my pet and would love to invite yours into our warm and loving home. I am able to provide meticulous and attentive round the clock care to your pet if they require. I reside in a dog friendly apartment complex with multiple parks for them to release extra energy. My baby, Kylo, will gladly keep them company or leave them alone, depending on their needs. Much like myself, he is very attentive. I also have a porch and a hammock that Kylo and I enjoy during warmer weather. If needed, I can easily crate your pet

“Dominique did an excellent job with my Ella! I was out of town for 1 week and needed someone to give my pup her daily morning walks. I requested Dominique on a short notice, thankfully she was very quick to reply to my request. She also arranged a meet and greet which I had not done before. I'm glad she did it as it left me feeling very comfortable with the whole process (I'm a bit obsessed with my dog). Dominique was always on time and sent over lots of pics from their walks! Would definitely book her again!”

“Mary was excellent in letting my GSD Bane out for walks during the day while I was at work. She was very attentive to him and great with updates during her visits. I’d be so glad to use her again in the future!!”

“Michaela did a great job with Sophie! She was so easy to communicate with! I felt so comfortable having Michaela take care of Sophie. She took great care of her, was reliable, and took the cutest pics! Can’t wait to have her take care of Sophie again!”

“Tyree was available to walk my dog on short notice. He walked her for a full 30 minutes and sent pictures throughout. Would recommend to others, and I will be contacting him for future needs as well!”


About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, primarily large dogs up until end of life, as well as cats in the last 6 years. I’ve got extensive experience with these guys, and my love for these animals runs deep! I’m currently self-employed, so my schedule is very flexible for visiting or playing with your pets! The best times to schedule me are between 8am and 8pm, but I am open to other hours with planning in advance. :) I have a screened in yard, as well as 2 crates for small dogs and cats, comfy beds, and toys for them to play with! I also have treats and a dedicated space within my home for them to relax in.

“Lindsey was great with our dogs! She helped Beni feel comfortable right away, and was incredibly responsive. She kept us updated the whole time and helped make the booking incredibly easy. I strongly recommend her services.”
“To say that Rachel will go the extra mile is an understatement! We left and forgot to double check our key box to make sure she could get in. She troubleshot the situation and made sure Freya & Zeke were cared for. She gave them lots of love and extra long walks. So thankful for her! Highly recommend Rachel!!”


“Thank you, Mary for everything. I appreciate it. Yeah she could just leave those collars on. Makes things a little bit easier and it’s all right that she didn’t eat. She’ll just eat when I get home. I appreciate everything you’ve done. I’m happy that she was excited at first and eventually calm down and yes, there was a situation with skateboards the last time I took her down to the end of Philemon towards 36th St. and it scared the crap out of her so now I have to work on inch and her down there again so I am I know what you’re talking about. Yeah she’ll get to a certain point and wanna come home and that’s fine. That’s fine when when she’s with you again I appreciate it and thank you so much and now you didn’t need to put the water in especially if like you said she drank a sufficient amount so I will see you while she will see you tomorrow lol thank you so much.”

“Just one week into having Max (and his fiancé) take care of my two dogs and I’m already so impressed. Max and Jen took the time to get to know my dogs and asked tons of questions prior to starting weekly walks. They are both incredibly communicative and timely, send pictures and updates for each walk, and have been extremely patient with my female pup, who can be shy around new people. I will definitely turn to Max and Jen for any future dog sitting needs!”

“Diem was GREAT checking in on our dog and taking her for walks. She is extremely respectful of our home, communicated well, sent sweet notes and pictures on the app, and our dog loved her. Will book again!”

About: My husband and I have adopted three senior dogs over the years and absolutely loved giving them a safe, happy retirement home. We’re not in a place to adopt again just yet, but we really miss having a pup around—so Rover is the perfect way for us to share our home and hearts with dogs in the meantime. On top of caring for our own dogs, we’ve also spent years sitting for coworkers’ and friends pups, which gave us experience with all kinds of personalities and routines. From playful puppies to special-needs seniors, we know how to adapt and make every dog feel comfortable and loved. My husband and I both work hybrid, with only one day a week where we’re in the office at the same time. On all other weekdays, a pup wouldn’t be left alone for more than 2–4 hours. We’re also homebodies who love spending weekends around the house and yard, so dogs get plenty of company and attention! At our home, pups enjoy a fenced-in yard (about 40x30 ft), and we leash-escort them safely to and from it. We also live right by the Greenway and love going on daily walks—anywhere from 1 to 4 miles, depending on what your dog enjoys. We’re experienced with special needs and always happy to provide personalized care and extra love to each pup who stays with us!
About: I’ve taken care of my family dog since 2010. I am a huge animal lover. I love to feed into their energy levels. I feel like animals can sense a genuine soul! My family and friends have relied on me to walk and feed their pets when they are traveling long distance. I am currently working full time but I am off on Sundays and Mondays. Anytime after 7:30pm I am free for the late night walks. I’m really into fitness but sometime I lack motivation so the fur babies will keep me motivated! I live in an apartment but I have vehicle so I can provide long walks on a beautiful walking trail or even to park. If the dog likes other dogs after our walk is complete I can allow the dog to play at a dog park. The fur baby will return tired from a day/ evening with me.
About: I've always been a pet lover and once I became a nanny I had the opportunity to not only care for the children but the pets as well. I then started pet/house sitting. I have experience in administering medicine. I walk, bath, love and play with the pets I care for. I am a single mother and my daughter is with me all the time. We would love to take care of your fur babies who are good around children. . I'm available for morning walks/feedings. I'm also available all weekend. I work part-time as a nanny in the early afternoon till 6 but I'm free to do check ins. At the moment I am unable to provide care in my home. This is temporary and I'll offer those services again mid June, thank you.
Oak Forest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kait was amazing! She is very nice so my dog Renly fell in love with her immediately. She brought him on his walk, gave him some love and treats before leaving. She was punctual, responsible and I was very happy she could be of help. I would definitely recommend her!
