“It was our first time getting a sitter to stay in our home and care for our 3 dogs for 2 days and Kathryn did not dissapoint. She was very attentive, sweet, patient, and understood all the directions on what to do for our 3 fur babies since they all have different eating habits and personalities. She made sure she texted me throughout her stay if she had any questions and sent us plenty of pics to keep us updated. She was very respectful of our home too. Her price is completely reasonable and I felt like the kids were in good hands with her. I would ask for her help again in the future and I definitely recommend.”


“I had the pleasure of hiring Patrick W to care for my beloved furry friends, Ray-Ray and Wyatt l, and couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that Patrick has a genuine love for animals. He immediately connected with my boys, making me feel at ease leaving my dogs in his capable hands. Throughout the duration of the dog house sitting service, my dogs were well cared for and Patrick generally stuck to the feeding and walking schedule I provided, and I received regular updates and photos, which brought me comfort during my time away. Patrick genuinely cared and took the time to play with the dogs and give them the attention they need, ensuring they received plenty of exercise and affection. If you’re in need of a trustworthy, dedicated, and caring dog sitter, I highly recommend Patrick W. He exceeded my expectations and I will be reaching out to him for future pet-sitting needs. Thank you, Patrick, for being such a wonderful caregiver to my four-legged family members!”


About: I’ve grown up surrounded by pets—dogs, cats, ferrets, even lizards—and I’ve cared for a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to laid-back seniors, I treat every animal like my own, with love and attention. I offer dog sitting, walking, and drop-in visits at your home, ensuring your pet feels comfortable in their own space. I carry my own trash bags for walks and provide plenty of exercise, affection, and attention. I also take pride in keeping your home clean and tidy during my stay. Before starting, I always do a meet-and-greet to ensure we’re a good fit and to discuss your pet’s needs. Let’s chat about how I can make your pet feel at ease while you're away! I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate to most pet care needs. I am available on weekdays all hours of the day, as for weekends Friday-Saturday I have full availability however Sunday's I will always have off for self care and cleaning up my home. I provide personalized care for your pets in their own enviornment, ensuring they stay comfortable and safe. I follow their routines, offer plenty of attention, and keep your home tidy. I have loads of energy and can give your pet constant attention

“Maggie was very thorough and thoughtful. She took great care of our pets and our home while we were away. She followed our instructions well and even thought of things we hadn't. She spent lots of time with our babies and made sure they got some extra attention. Maggie was great, would highly recommend.”


About: I was always had furry siblings but have graduated to a cat mama. I enjoy creating personal heavens for our companions. Reliable, punctual and kind. I have a full-time job that pays the bills but I am looking for ways to feed my soul. Overnights are great as well as drop ins. I would prefer to host at client's homes as my current home does not allow dogs. Willing to board or take cats overnight. Let's make it a sleepover!

“Tori was amazing with my high-energy dog! She spent a ton of time with my dog and took her to the dog park many times to burn her energy which my dog loved. She was also very thoughtful and sent lots of pictures and videos while we were away for 2 weeks and was very responsive the whole time. She was very accommodating and I would highly recommend her! Will definitely be using her again in the future.”


“From the first time I met with Lisa for our meet and greet, we knew our dog would be in good hands. She was so sweet with our dog. She has great communication skills and we were not worried. She took him on walks and cuddled with him. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.”


“Stacie was fantastic. Our dogs were impeccably cared for and she anticipated additional needs at our house and asked us if she could take care of them before we asked her. She was a joy and we’ll definitely be asking her again!”


“Bailey was the perfect sitter for our dog Cooper. Bailey was polite, consistent, trustworthy, communicative and most importantly, I can tell he really enjoyed spending time with our dog. He took Cooper on walks, cuddled and played with him. He even asked if he could take Cooper to a farmers market!! We said yes of course. I recommend Bailey 100% and will be using him again in the future.”



About: I’ve spent the past nine years caring for my poodle, watching her grow from a curious little puppy into my best friend. She is my fur sister. That experience taught me the importance of patience, love, and daily companionship. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and truly cared for while they’re with me. I work part-time, which means I have lots of free time to give your furry friend the love, play, and attention they deserve. I’m available on weekdays from 8 AM to 8 PM. Having cared for my poodle for the past nine years, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and part of the family. In my home, pets have a cozy and secure space where they can relax, play, and enjoy daily companionship. I follow their usual feeding, walking, and play routines to keep them comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick closely to their familiar schedule, so they feel just as loved and secure as they do with you.

“Bailey is a wonderful dog sitter. She listened to all my pups needs and was extremely accommodating to make the overnight stay stress free for my pup, and for me:) She communicated quickly and often, sent pictures and updates while we were gone, which again made my time away much more relaxing. I highly recommend Bailey and will be using her again in the future!!”


“Katherine made herself available at the last minute to watch our home and care for our Moose and did such a great job. We got tons of photo updates and she was very communicative. Moose actually spent the morning after our return looking around the house for Katherine as she misses her already!”


About: Hi, I’m Chanty. I’m based in Oak Forest and love spending time outdoors with dogs. I had a Yorkie for 15 years, so I’ve cared for dogs through all stages of life. I’ve also helped care for pit bulls, rescued young pups, and regularly look after my sister’s Maltese. I treat animals like family. I care for them with the same love and attention I’d give my own, playing and interacting with them based on their needs and energy, while also keeping up with routines, cleanliness, and any special needs they may have. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new, so I am happy to meet you and your pup beforehand. I also make it a point to keep you updated during visits with photos, messages, and anything else that would help you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I get around by bike and offer nearby walks and drop-ins full of play, love and personalized care. Whether your pup needs adventure, calm companionship, or even just a bath, I’d love to help out! Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work freelance online and create my own schedule. I’m very flexible and can adapt week to week to meet your needs, whether you need a regular walker or occasional drop-ins! When I’m in someone else’s home or caring for their pet, I treat it all with the same respect I treat my own. You can trust that I will follow whatever routines or instructions you give me, and I always leave things clean and as I found them. I try to really tune into each animal’s mood and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for a while now. I would always have to let out my neighbors dog when they’re not home. I understand dog’s behavior and what they need and making sure they are safe. I am responsible for making sure the dog is comfortable with me. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to watch and play with your doggie's. I’m available on week days and weekends anytime. I have a big yard for them to play in and I can put them in another room with food and water to relax if needed.

“I was very pleased with our sitter Katelyn. I received a good handful of cute photos. Updates on their potty time and eating. Both of my pitbull's took to her and we're laying down on the couch next to her within minutes. The best part of this, was that both of my dogs ate their dinner when it was prepared for them with us being gone so long during the day. My eldest dog has a pretty good dose of separation anxiety. It does not look like he felt any anxiety at all, and I could not be more pleased. And the youngest pitbull was happy to have somebody to play with, which she began doing almost immediately. Very, very happy!!”


“We couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience with Natalie. It was our first time booking through Rover so we were a little nervous, but Natalie’s strong consistent communication and clear experience dog/housesitting put us at ease. The daily pictures and updates gave us piece of mind on our trip away, and we came home to a clean house and a very happy puppy!”

Ximan L.
“It is with great pleasure that I recommend Ximan as a dog sitter. She has been an absolute lifesaver for my dog, Bowbow, and me. Her genuine love for animals is evident in the way she interacts with him, always providing him with the attention, care, and exercise he needs. I feel completely at ease whenever Bowbow is in her care, knowing he's not just being watched, but is being loved and treated as one of her own. Her reliability, responsible nature, and excellent communication make her an exceptional choice, and I wholeheartedly trust her to care for any pet.”
