“Artiss has walked my pup multiple times, and he has always been happy to see her! She has done a great job managing his high energy level, sent wonderful photo updates, and always made sure he went to the bathroom.”

“Kaia had a great time with Annie today; brief walk and some cuddle time. She also sent great photos and even brought in our package from the lobby. Thank you! Looking forward to using her services.”

About: i’m patient, detail-oriented, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. i take the time to make shy or anxious pets feel safe and comfortable, and i adjust my approach depending on their energy level and needs. i’m also very reliable with routines and communication, so you can trust your pet is getting consistent care and attention. pet care is part of my everyday routine, as i currently care for two kittens with consistent feeding, cleaning, and play schedules. i’m used to planning my day around their needs, so incorporating additional pet care is something i can do reliably & consistently. when caring for pets in a client’s home, i focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. i follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any specific preferences your pet has. i take the time to understand each cat’s personality—whether they’re social or more independent—and adjust my approach so they feel comfortable in their own space. i also keep the home tidy and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Levi (Elizabeth) is an incredible sitter with my grumpy old dog! He’s a very difficult boy to work with and barks and barks at her, yet she is patient, kind, and gentle with him, meeting him on his terms. Highly, highly recommend!!”


About: I am a CPR certified pet sitter who loves animals and loves to care for things. I have no pets of my own because I travel often for my full-time job . However. , I look forward to building a trust worthy, healthy relationship with you and your animal family. I currently work from home full-time so I have flexible hours. I do travel often for work so the further out I know for overnight days is the better. I also am available to walk dogs daily. I live alone and a very nice neighborhood full of lots of trees and families. I keep a very neat and nice home free of anything that could harm animals.
“Jozelin took Leo on morning walks while I was out of town for a few days. She followed my instructions, was respectful of the space, & was able to handle my Leo. Will book again!! Tyyy”


About: I grew up taking care of family pets and have also loved sitting for friends and family over the years. I joined Rover while in grad school because I missed having animals around and have been caring for dogs and cats since. Now I work from home and have lots of flexibility in my schedule for care! . What sets me apart? Your pet’s experience: a safe, calm, and of course, fun time. I’ll take the time to learn their quirks, shower them with plenty of love, and make them as comfortable as possible while their human is gone. I don’t have any pets and only take on one Rover client at a time so I can give your pet(s) the dedicated, individualized care they deserve. I also work from home and have lots of flexibility in my schedule. This means less stress, sticking more closely to the routine they’re used to, and no fighting for attention! . Your experience: I know how important it is to have a trustworthy sitter or walker while you’re away for peace of mind and I pride myself on being responsible, detail-oriented, and communicative. For every booking, I send plenty of photos of your pet living their best life and discuss your communication preferences ahead of time so we can be on the same page. I have a lot of flexibility in my daily schedule so I'm very happy to work with you to accommodate your needs or adjust if things change. For boarding, I live with my boyfriend in a spacious condo in Hyde Park, so there's plenty of room for your pet to play, get their zoomies out, or find a spot for some alone time. Although I'm the primary caregiver, he is also always up for a belly scratch or round of tug of war, so I consider him a nice bonus for your pet :) We live on a quiet one-way street on the top floor so there is minimal street noise and overstimulation. For house sitting, I know that your pets may be happiest in their own space, and I'm comfortable working in different environments to make sure they are safe and comfy! I will always be respectful of your space and communicative if any issues come up.
“Consistent, punctual, communicative, and generous. She shows up everyday in a timely manner, cares for my dog, and even gives complementary baths and cleaning if she makes a mess. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 🤗 she offers a good range of services as well!!”


“Erin has been absolutely amazing with Oscar. She walks him every day, is always on time, and consistently goes above and beyond. I really appreciate the detailed updates and photos after each walk — it gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. She’s also so thoughtful with my cats and always takes time to give them attention too, which means a lot. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she works with. Highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and communicative!”


About: I have experience caring for pets and understand the importance of providing them with patience, attention, and a safe environment. My responsibilities have included feeding pets according to their schedules, providing fresh water, taking dogs for walks, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of exercise and companionship. I am comfortable following specific care instructions and paying close attention to each pet’s individual needs and behavior. I am dependable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. After spending 33 years working in corporate America, I am excited to begin a new chapter in life—one centered around spending more time with animals and providing them with loving, dependable care. I developed a strong sense of responsibility, reliability, patience, and attention to detail. I understands the importance of being trustworthy and following through on commitments, qualities that are just as important when caring for someone’s beloved pets. Now retired, I have the time and flexibility to give pets the attention, companionship, exercise, and care they deserve. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and creating a safe, comfortable environment where they can feel happy and relaxed. For me, pet care is more than simply a responsibility—it’s an opportunity to enjoy the companionship of animals while giving their owners peace of mind that their pets are in caring and capable hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My loft provides a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel at home. When your pet stays with me, you can feel confident knowing they’re receiving attentive, loving care in a safe home away from home. My goal is simple: for you to have peace of mind and for your pet to feel loved, secure, and comfortable.
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid. My many years of pet ownership has trained me for this opportunity. My Chewy is both happy and healthy. I’m recently retired. My daily schedule is built around the needs of my boy, Chewy. He’s walked at minimum three (3) times a day; my friends and family know the routine. I have a secure deck to allow fresh air and free movement with guaranteed security. I have a crate if needed, but think all dogs should have free movement daily.
About: I have volunteered at animal shelters since I was 10 years old, and am comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages! Additionally, I have seven years of experience pet/house sitting, including overnight. In the past few years, I have specialized in caring for puppies, and have experience with bottle feeding. I also had the unique opportunity to work with a coalition that supported people experiencing domestic violence by connecting their pets with fosters while they stayed in shelters (which normally do not allow animals.) I am currently a grad student at the University of Chicago, and have quite a bit of flexibility in my schedule! Whether you would like me to stay at your home full-time while you are away, or just need me to stop by for periodic visits, walks, or play-time, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! I am available both during the week and on the weekends, and can't wait to spend them hanging out with your cats and dogs! I am very comfortable walking dogs of all sizes, and am happy to take them outside to play as well! If your pet has any medication, I can make sure they take them. I will make sure that dogs have plenty of potty breaks, and that all animals are fed on time. If I am staying in your home, I will be respectful of any boundaries you have and will leave the place just as you left it.

Danielle was an incredible help with a very last minute booking. She was professional, polite, and friendly throughout the entire process. My dog absolutely loved her, which gave me great peace of mind. I would definitely book with Danielle again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog walker.

Ruari is incredibly reliable, patient, and responsive. She truly goes above and beyond for my fur baby, and I always feel confident knowing he’s in such caring hands. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to trust with my dog. Highly recommend Ruari to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate dog walker!

Sarah is great with my dog, Mushu. I have booked her for house sitting and for one-off walking and she is fast with communication, flexible with timings, and a great house guest. Mushu is a little protective but likely thinks that Sarah is now a part of the household which is a win in my books. I will continue to book her.

Highly Recommend! I cannot recommend Kaycee enough! For personal medical reasons, I found myself unable to lift or pull weight, which severely limited my ability to control my dog, Katalina. I desperately needed someone reliable to take over her morning potty walks before 8:30 AM every day, and Kaycee stepped right up. For 1.5 months, Kaycee was consistently punctual, incredibly responsible, and completely trustworthy. Katalina is a total sweetie who loves people and other dogs, but she definitely likes to try to chase birds on walks, Kaycee handled her with ease, care, and great patience. She also helped out with our house-sitting routine whenever we needed extra coverage, giving us complete peace of mind. While we are sad to see her go, we are so happy for her as she moves on to her new job. If you have the opportunity to hire Kaycee, do it! We would book her again in a heartbeat. 100% recommended!

At the risk of losing her to another client, I will say that Jenna did an amazing job with my anxious and reactive pit! I was dreading leaving her alone for a few days but Jolene took to Jenna's vibe right off the bat and it worked out beautifully. Jenna went above and beyond and was able to accommodate us when we found ourselves stranded in another state for a couple more days. We will definitely be coming back for more walks and pet sitting.
