“What a wonderful family! Daisy was well cared for and loved on. I appreciate all the videos and great communication during Daisy's stay. Daisy enjoyed her time. Looking forward to her next stay.”

“Oli was able to accommodate my cat last minute while I was moving. My kitty tends to be nervous around new people and places, and Oli definitely helped her feel comfortable and safe (as evidenced by the cute pics she sent throughout her stay!). I’m super grateful to Oli and the care she gave my Josephine, highly highly recommend!! Her dog Benji is also a sweetheart :)”

“I would give more than 5 stars if I could! April and her family took EXCEPTIONAL care of my pup, Monkey! She sent many updates, photos and videos while I was away that I never had to wonder how Monkey was doing. Will definitely book again. Thank you!! 🙏🏻 🐒 😁”

“Rajarshi is absolutely amazing! He watched our dog like as if he was his own child! He sent us regular updates with pictures and videos of what our dog was doing during the day! Gave him 3-4 walks during the day, played with him and took such great care of him! We will always leave our dog with Rajarshi! Rajarshi’s background and experience in fostering dogs makes him one of the most experienced & well rounded pet sitter who you can trust blindfoldedly! I would say that anyone and everyone can trust him with their pets! I wish I could give him 10 stars ⭐️ but 5 is the maximum we can give so giving him 5 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“Dodi was great and kept us informed throughout the visit with photos of how our dog was doing. She facilitated a meeting between our dogs before to make sure there were no issues. I felt safe leaving our loved one with her.”

“Erika was wonderful with my husky. She sent me pictures and updates to reassure me my dog was happy and healthy. My dog seemed very content staying with Erika and I would highly recommend her.”

“Hayden took great care of Jellybean and updated us throughout our trip with photos and videos. He has a huge yard and lots of places to explore. Definitely recommend! Thanks Hayden.”

“Marcella is awesome she is a very caring and nurturing individual! She is really great with animals. I will definitely be using her in the future for all my animals! Thank you so much Marcella! 😊”

“Jordan was great with our two cats while we were on vacation. Communication was prompt and consistent, and he was very accommodating to our needs. He also made sure Jeffrey got his pills without any issues. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats. Highly recommend!”

“Karen is amazing! She made us feel so comfortable with leaving our “baby” (2-year-old doodle mix) because we could immediately see the bond between the two of them. Karen so clearly loves animals and is very responsive and sends lots of updates. We are so excited to have found Karen! Thank you very much!”

About: So, a little about me, I’m an animal lover and I absolutely love to be around dogs! I previously had a toy poodle mix and a pug that we rescued but both have unfortunately passed! We loved our fur babies as much as people love their real babies. I enjoyed taking walks with my dogs and just giving them as much love and attention as possible, I’d like to extend that love and care to your pets! I have found myself with a lot of extra free time and would like nothing more than to help care for other people’s pets! I’m a stay at home mom so I’m available most days for feedings and walks as well as runs, dog parks, and any other special requests. I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate just about any request in order to give your pet the best care while you’re away. I typically try to follow what your family prefers for keeping your dog safe. Whether that is walking your dog on a leash, going to a fenced in dog park, your own backyard, etc.
“Caira was wonderful with our dog Luna. We used her boarding services for 2 nights and she was easy to communicate with. She also provided updates and pictures daily which we appreciated.”

About: I have taken care of many dogs. I used to have a Samoyed and a multipoo myself for many years previously. I love how affectionate dogs are. I am great at sticking to feeding schedules. I enjoy petting and playing with a dog kindly and gently. I have a big backyard that is fenced where a dog can run and play safely. I work part time, not everyday, and just a few hours a day, so I am a great companion to your sweet lovable pet. I am gentle, caring, loving, warm hearted. I am very empathetic to pets because they are loving beings. I will often take them for bathroom breaks, pet, and feed on schedule. I want the pet to feel safe and happy and the owner to relax and enjoy their time away. I have a fenced backyard. I accept cats or small dogs only. The pet will have space to run and play. I am gentle with my voice and my affection to the pet. I have a big heart and am also good at keeping a feeding schedule. I am warm hearted and responsible.
About: Caring for animals has been second nature to me since childhood. Over the years, my experience has spanned far beyond standard pet care- I've raised and cared for everything from dogs and cats to ferrets, bunnies, goats, pigs, and chickens. That diverse hands-on background taught me how to read animal body language, manage different temperaments, and handle daily routines with patience and confidence. Today, our home is a true animal-loving environment. We share our space with our sweet rescue dog, Valentina Bella, whom we welcomed into our family nearly two years ago. My two children have grown up sharing that same respect and gentle affection for animals, making our house a warm, nurturing second home. Expect to have a safe, calm environment: Your pet's comfort and routine come first. We prioritize safety, clear boundaries, and saree-free transitions. Attentive Care & Exercise: Whether your dog loves neighborhood walks, active playtime, or just lounging nearby while receiving gentle affection, their daily needs will be met. Consistent Communication: I know how important peace of mind is when you're away. You can count on regular updates, notes, and photos throughout their stay. Comfort with All Personalities: From outgoing social butterflies to rescues that need a little extra time and patience to feel secure, we know how to meet animals where they are. Because we already share our home with our own rescue dog, a steady, dependable pet routine is second nature to our household. My schedule allows for dedicated time before, during, and after work/school hours to give dogs the exercise and care they need. Mornings begin with breakfast and a solid walk to burn off energy before the day starts. During the day, our setup ensures pets are safe, comfortable, and never left unattended for extended periods. Evenings and weekends are completely centered around family and pets - featuring long neighborhood walks, play sessions, and calm downtime. We treat pet care as a priority and make sure visiting guests receive the exact same consistency, affection, and structure as our own dog. Safety is top priority. We start with a mandatory meet-and-greet to ensure compatible temperaments before any stay. Inside our pet-proofed, secure home, visiting pets are closely supervised, and slow, respectful introductions are always practiced. With years of experience managing diverse animals and rescues, I am vigilant about body language and routine boundaries. Your dog will never be left unattended with other pets or children without direct supervision. When walked, pets are always securely leashed. You'll receive prompt daily photos and honest updates so you always know your pet is secure and comfortable.
“We can’t recommend Laura & Nicolas highly enough! Overall wonderful experience from the minute we reached out until we picked up our happy and very well cared for pups…with new adorable handmade bandanas!”

“I had never boarded Oliver before, but Chase made us all - dog and humans - feel comfortable and confident right off the bat. He's got a great setup, a great schedule, and a great calm demeanor my dog instantly appreciated. We will definitely be back!”

“Thea was great match for both of my dogs, from the beginning, I really loved the idea of the meet & great, it is a peace of mind knowing that you don’t have to worry about the actual day! I would definitely rebook with her, for the near future.”

About: I've been a dedicated dog owner for a few years and understand the responsibility, structure, and attention dogs need to thrive and feel comfortable. In addition to caring for my own dog daily, I’ve also provided pet care for friends and family. I believe in treating others the way I would want to be treated, so I prioritize clear communication, consistency, and updates to give pet parents peace of mind while they're away. I work remotely four days a week and off Saturday through Monday, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and interaction. My own dog, Peanut, spends the day with me in my home office, and this allows for a couple of one-on-one play sessions throughout the day. My home office has a sliding door that leads directly to our large, and secure, yard, making potty breaks easy and as frequent as needed. I have a school age daughter, and a terrier mix who roams freely, so we’re very mindful about keeping floors and common areas clear of anything that could pose a choking hazard or safety risk. Same goes with the outside. I provide close supervision in a normal household activity and everyday sounds like TV or music. My dog is crate trained; however, we typically use a playpen if a secure space is needed. I am happy to follow each pet's parent's preferences regarding crating, feeding routines, and supervision to ensure every dog feels safe and comfortable.

About: My dogs are some of my best friends! They bring me such joy and teach me how to be a better human being each and every day. And dog kisses rock btw! I have rescued, raised and trained many dogs over the past 30 years. I enjoy being in the company of dogs at all times. I am home alot so I get to play with, excercise and care for my dogs. Caring for dogs is one of my passions and is a noble purpose in life. It is an honor for me to share my love of dogs with your dog(s)! They will love it here in my home and yard, which is connected to a huge greenbelt so they can run and play! I hope your doggy can have a sleepover soon! I am a dog lover, pure and simple! Dogs are the most amazing animals! I enjoy taking care of all sizes and breeds and I especially love getting to know all their different personalities. Your pups will get my full attention with lots of exercise if that is what they require. Senior dogs can be separated from any active dogs if they are less likely to want to play. And most importantly, they will gets lots of love and attention. I have a securely fenced yard with a big area to run and play in which also has lots of shade, a kiddie pool to splash in and soft beds to lounge on.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Park
First of all Ayni and Alfonsus are such a welcoming, friendly and kind couple. They were so sweet with my dog and treated him like his own child from the moment they met him. He was pampered beyond imagination which I am eternally grateful. Nervous, anxious dog no more after such a wonderful time with them! ❤️ truly appreciate them and the care and consistent communication throughout our time away! I can’t recommend them enough 🙌🏾🥰 I now need to find a way to make my dog understand he has to come back home 🤣❤️ thank you again for everything!!!

Harlan is the best!! I left my dog with him for nine days and he did a great job. He sent me pictures, kept in touch and when Violet got home, she was very happy. You can’t go wrong with Harlan. I highly recommend him. I will definitely use him again and again. I’m so glad I found him.😁👍

Our experience with Zenia was great from start to finish. She is responsive and a good communicator. My 6-year-old puppy has always stayed at my daughter's when I go out of town and I needed a sitter who could make him feel at home. I could see from the photos, (which Zenia sends daily,) that he relaxed right away and enjoyed snuggling, walking, and being with her dog Misty. Highly recommend!
