“Gabriel was an excellent dog sitter for Walnut. He was attentive, patient, and very professional throughout the entire experience. He communicated clearly, provided updates, and always confirmed details, which gave me great peace of mind. Walnut seemed very happy and comfortable with him, and it was clear he genuinely enjoyed spending time with Gabriel. I truly felt that Walnut was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Gabriel and would love for him to continue sitting for us in the future.”

About: Looking for a dog sitter with a passion for pups and years of experience? I’ve not only been a dog mom for 14 years, but recently assisting in training the now 6 month old puppy that’s in my parent’s care. I’m the #1 dog sitter amongst my network, not only because I work from home and have availability, but because I also include their fur babies in my dog’s activities as well i.e. dog park dates, dog birthday parties, and doggie brunch! I’m a full- time remote employee with a very relaxed work schedule. Your pet will be spending the majority of their time in my care. I have a fenced front yard and a patio along with one 22lbs dog that will keep your pet company. I also have a lot of space to allow the dog to move around as they would like.

“Ashley was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure that my dog was comfortable with his stay at her house while I worked. She was very communicative, made sure to have full understanding of his care, and gave him lots of love! From the moment I dropped him off, I can tell she really cares about the pets she and her daughter care for, when I picked Echo up at the end of the day, he was so sad to leave! I’ll definitely be booking with Ashley again! :)”

“I can not say enough about Ebonee! She is totally amazing! She took such good care of Milo and sent pictures and videos of his stay with her. She is responsive and accommodating! I'm am more than pleased with her level of care.”

“Timothy is our puppy’s favorite sitter (and ours too!). It’s clear he really understands and empathizes with dogs of all ages and sizes. We’ve had multiple stays at Timothy’s place, and every time our dog comes home happy, well-cared for and occasionally having made new dog friends! We especially appreciate the way he handles our rambunctious labrador puppy- calm, kind, and confident. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in good hands. We’re grateful to have found him, highly recommend!”

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.

“Divya is the GOAT. From beginning (before drop off) to end (after pick up) she was attentive to not only my dog’s well-being and happiness, but also my questions. She was very responsive and had top tier communication with me throughout the day. She even sent pictures of my dog and gave updates on how she was doing. I’d strongly recommend her if you are looking for someone to care for your pet, and I’ll definitely be rebooking :)”

“Anni is so amazing!! She watches our puppy when my boyfriend is traveling and I have to be in office and she sends so many updates and our puppy Sally loves seeing her every time.”

About: Hi! I’m 32 years old and live in Chicago with my sweet and wonderful cat, Simon. My connection with animals started at a very young age, with my first best friend, Pablo — a 40kg Dalmatian who was my partner in crime for many years. We took care of each other and, whenever the neighbors needed a little help, somehow we ended up taking care of most of the neighborhood too! As I grew up and moved between different countries, animals continued to be an important part of my life. Along the way, I’ve had the chance to meet and care for many different furry friends, each with their own personality and way of connecting. Today, Simon is my little companion, and I’d love to bring that same care, patience, and affection to your pets while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands — and I treat every animal as an individual, with plenty of attention, respect, and love. I run my own company, so my days are busy and flexible. I always make time for animals, because they bring balance, joy, and connection. I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of animals and helping with whatever they need — from visits, walks, baths, and cleanup to playtime, companionship, and simply being there when they need someone around. I also understand that every animal has a different way of adapting to a new environment. I’m currently going through this process with Simon after moving into a new home, and it has taught me even more about how important patience and trust are. For them, everything is new: the people, the smells, the sounds, and the surroundings. It takes time to understand what feels safe. Simon loves going for walks, so we’ve been taking it step by step. Every day, we explore a little farther, stopping to sniff and investigate until a strange noise tells him, “Okay, time to go home!” 😄 Our building’s main lobby, which was once completely unfamiliar, is now a place where he feels comfortable walking around and spending time with me. And soon, I’m hoping Millennium Park will become part of our little adventure too! :) That’s the same approach I bring to every pet I care for: no rushing, no forcing — just patience, attention, and allowing them to build confidence at their own pace.

“Vivian was amazing! Communicating with her was seamless and she took awesome care of my girl Maya. I loved getting pics and videos of Maya playing with her adorable pup Dior. I would def recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. Thanks for being such a great sitter.”

“Moose had a great time with Carmina this weekend! She was very responsive and easy to coordinate with, we will definitely be using her again!”

“Jaclyn was super prompt in her responses, kind, and super sweet for my dog! Communication was excellent, and she made sure that Billie not only was taken care of but that she met her social and physical exercise for the day with enrichment time at the farmers market! I would definitely rebook her again and recommend Jaclyn to anyone!”

About: I’ve had dogs for over 25 years - from puppyhood through their senior days. My last dog passed away late last year, and now we’re looking forward to taking care of other people’s dogs! My wife and are retired and on the days we accept reservations will have plenty of time to take your dog on long walks and play! We have a single-floor apartment in the South Loop, We can accommodate a crate if your dog uses one. We will always follow your guidance on how much or little your dog prefers to interact with other dogs and people.

“We have definitely found our new permanent Dog sitter here in Chicago! I had a last-minute work emergency and Ksenia was SO responsive & flexible; I couldn’t be more grateful. Drop off was super easy and Nipsey came home happy and tuckered out. Couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience! 10/10 would recommend 🤩”
