“Darcy was wonderful caring for our boy. She communicated well throughout our trip, followed the routine, and was caring with our home. We would use her again anytime and we're thankful for her fantastic care of Charlee.”

“Abigail was an amazing sitter for our critter crew! She was kind and responsive, was attentive to details and especially patient with our old chocolate lab who has several health issues, and younger doodle who has some behavioral preferences we’re still learning! 🙏❤️ We so appreciate her taking such good care of everyone, and would love to have her back!!”

“Amy is amazing, our dogs were happy, fat and sassy when we got home from our trip. She gave us updates and pictures daily. I highly recommend her and we for sure will reach out to her for all our sitting needs.”

“Amanda was great! My social cat really enjoyed playing with her and hanging out with her! She also left the house spotless and with washed sheets which was extremely helpful so that we could crawl into bed right when we got home from our trip!”

“I cannot say enough about Lakshmi. She is absolutely wonderful. It is immediately apparent how much she loves (and knows about) dogs. My pup was in love right away. I SO appreciated the "pupdates" Lakshmi sent while I was away. I didn't have a worry in the world while my dog was under her care (especially as a vet tech!!) Will definitely use again and highly recommend! Thank you !”

“We are SO grateful for Jaxton! He watched our two boys the week of Thanksgiving while we were out of town, and he was absolutely phenomenal. He sent us updates and photos every day, and even brushed our dogs with the shedding tool we left in their bag—without us ever asking. He took such thoughtful care of our home and treated our pups like they were his own. If you’re looking for someone to trust with your pets and your home, Jaxton is the one. We cannot recommend him enough. Thank you, Jaxton! We appreciate you so much!”
“Ashleigh is a fantastic communicator, she asked all the questions to make sure my boys were taken care of during the long weekend. My dogs are big, so I am always worried that someone may be intimidated by their size. Ashleigh found out there is nothing better than love from a 110-pound lap dog. Would definitely recommend!”

“Lacy is truly amazing!! She is our go to regular sitter for our cat, and we always are extremely pleased with her and how well she cares for our baby, but this most recent time she truly went above and beyond for us. We got stranded in our travels because of the snow storm and she not only was able to stay with her for extra days, but the hvac unit also went out and our house lost heat! The temps dropped dangerously low and she helped us to troubleshoot the system for HOURS! Unfortunately the problem had to do with something outside our control and we needed to find an HVAC technician who could solve it. She stayed with our cat despite the cold and helped the hvac technician gain access to the house, answering questions as they arose, and worked with him until everything was fixed! She also made sure to drop the faucets and do everything she could to keep the house warm. She not only cared for our cat but she also saved our house from freezing pipes! We could not be more thankful for her and the amazing person she is!! People like her are rare and choosing her to care for your pets is truly a blessing! Thank you so much, Lacy!!”

About: I love animals. I was a former foster pet parent. We ended up adopting. We have adopted three dogs and they are our families world. Can’t imagine life without them. I’m able to help with your pet after my work hours and before my 8 hour shifts at the hospital and on the weekends as needed. Would love to pet sit or walk your animals. I love pets and helping when needed. I usually work 8 hour shifts at the hospital.

About: I have several years of experience pet sitting dogs and cats for family friends, neighbors, and coworkers, and I also spent over a year working as a veterinary assistant. I have worked hands-on with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and energy levels. I'm comfortable caring for nervous or fearful pets, high-energy dogs, and animals that require extra patience or careful handling. I also have extensive experience administering medications and following detailed medical and care instructions. I now work as a wildlife researcher and have additional professional experience with animal handling, behavior, and husbandry across a wide variety of species. I'm comfortable reading behavior and adjusting my approach to the individual animal. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, senior, or just has a very particular routine, I'm happy to work with their needs and make sure they are comfortable and well cared for while you're away. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time with the pet in my care! While I do have daily obligations that may take me away for parts of the day, I have plenty of availability for walks, playtime, meals, and lots of attention throughout the day. I provide care in your pet’s home, where they can remain comfortable with their normal environment and routine. I’m happy to provide multiple walks per day, plenty of playtime and attention, and meals, snacks, and medications according to their regular schedule. I will always follow care instructions closely and adjust my approach to your pet’s individual needs and personality.

“Allison went above and beyond caring for our 2 fur babies!!! One got very ill and she cleaned up after him and graciously took him to the vet to have him checked out after I arranged an appointment. She was so caring and kind to them. They loved her. We found a friend for life!”

About: My attention to detail and helping ensure pet parents have a relaxing time on vacay by proving top-tier care sets me apart from other sitters. I like to send pictures I’ve taken throughout the day to pet parents and let them know what we did for the day. My 3+ years of experience working at a doggy daycare has helped me understand our furry friends. I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages - puppies to seniors, given meds, and took care of a dog with paralyzed back legs. Love providing care for our furry friends! I’m currently working part time in the evenings typically on the weekends. Other than that, I’m free during the day/night. I typically work 4/5 hours in the evening. I’m off by 9 pm at the latest. For previous client care, I’ve either stayed overnight at their house or made several trips during the day and evening. If I stay overnight, I wake up let them outside to go potty and then feed breakfast (if they get it). Let them out again after breakfast. If I didn’t stay over night, then I would arrive in the morning and do the same process as if I stayed overnight. I will hang out with them and let them go outside to potty several times throughout the day. I will also try and play fetch if they like that. For dinner, it’s the same process as breakfast. I’ve also taken some dogs on walks to get their exercise in. Anything to keep our furry friends needs met!
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. Growing up with a dog by my side taught me how to understand, care for, and connect with them in a way that feels completely natural. Being around dogs isn't just something I do—it's something I've known my whole life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, learning their unique personalities, and making sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away. Every dog deserves care that feels like home, and that's exactly what I strive to provide. I currently work Monday-Friday (8am-5pm). I can take care of pets after 5pm and on the weekends. We can arrange timing if needed. Thank you! I have a very spacious loft downtown I can have them in. Also have space for kennels if needed. Lots of parks near by and sidewalks to walk them. I’m also willing to take care of them at the clients residents as well. Whatever is needed for the job at hand!

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 10 years. My first baby was Kramer (cockapoo) and now I have a big boy named Koda (Golden Retriever). I love all pets, but specifically dogs. They are so loving, loyal, and kind, and I love to give that to them in return. I work as a professor at an university and usually done around 1pm each day, so I can let the babies out for their afternoon/evening potty breaks. I am also free for the summer due to school letting out, so I will have way more free time from May until the middle of August to give your baby attention any time of day. I have a fenced yard and a golden retriever for your baby to play with. Sometimes, I have my sister's dog to babysit so there will be another friend.
About: Welcome to my Rover! I’m 26 years old and a lifelong animal lover. Growing up, I had the most amazing boxer rescue named Duke, and through my teenage years and young adulthood another rescue Munson, who was a black lab/pit bull mix. Currently mom to two fur babies Dexter and Koda, a black cat and a tuxedo cat. Aside from my primary occupation, I’m a very active person and love being outside. I’m a lifelong animal shelter volunteer and have worked with animals from newborn to elderly, perfect health to less than, anxiety, etc. I understand the obligations of everyday pet parents and am more than happy to meet and provide top tier care and support for your fur babies! I am currently working out a full-time schedule as I work remotely and am offering short-term care for the time being. All drop-ins, walks, and sittings will be accepted case by case. Will update when I move to a more regular schedule! The trust required to invite a sitter into your home and around your fur babies is paramount, and as a professional, your home becomes my office and will be treated with the utmost respect. I tend to leave a home cleaner than I found it, and follow instructions to a T, so please do not hesitate to let me know how I can best care for your fur babies and your home while I'm in service!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Forest
Sarah did an amazing job taking care of my two Newfoundlands and my home. She was incredibly reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about the dogs as if they were her own. Every day she kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Both dogs were happy, well cared for, and in great condition when I returned. The house was also well looked after. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional dog sitter. I couldn’t be happier with her service!

Farah is an excellent dog and house sitter. I am traditionally nervous leaving our dogs while on vacation, but I have never been nervous when they are under Farah’s care. She is excellent at following care requests, sends ample updates, leaves the dogs well taken care of, and even cleans the house/washes sheets etc. This trip, she even had to deal with a tree limb falling on our roof, and limitations with Nala undergoing heartworm treatment. We are very thankful to have found Farah, and look forward to hiring her again in the future.

There aren’t words to express how incredible Autumn is. She came over the day before I scheduled her to meet my pets, and took notes of their routine while I went over it with her. She sent updates and pictures of my dogs while I was away, spoiled them with love and attention, and has been the sweetest to communicate with. I had ZERO concerns while she cared for my dogs, and I couldn’t ask for more than the comfort and safety of my babies!
