“Amanda J. took great care of my precious 16 year old cat. I will be happy to use her again someday as the need arises, and highly recommend her. She's reliable and kind!”



“Margaret is the best the sitter I've come across on this app. So attentive and keeps me updated. Such a peace of mind to have someone like her watching my babies. 100% recommend.”


“You can’t go wrong with Sam. She treats your dog like it’s one of her own. I’ll def be booking her again. Tyson loved her and Sam has great communication and is very prompt and very professional.”


“Seriously Patrick is the ONLY person outside of immediate family that we trust with our pups. They love him so much and he does what we ask I terms of their care (they are just spoiled, nothing medical or any like that. I’m 100% confident he would take care of them if that were the case though lol) We are still surprised we found such an amazing pet sitter.”


“Desiree was a great sitter for our two cats. She communicated well in person and over txt. She sent daily report cards and pictures, and informed me if anything was abnormal with the house. She was willing to do extra house things like bring in mail, take trash out, and water plants. Much appreciated. Highly recommend.”


“Stephanie was wonderful!! She had a hard time finding two of our cats and went above and beyond to try to make sure they were ok before leaving. Our cats were happy and everything was clean when we got home!”



“Julie did a fabulous job taking care of our two cats with drop in visits! Julie responds very quickly. She sent lots of photos and gave great rover cards with information about each drop in visit. Our cats were well taken care of! We will definitely book again!! Thank you, Julie!”


“Amanda made friends quickly with our shy dog! She played with her and took her to the park. She was very helpful taking care of our plants inside and out as well. She definitely went the extra mile!”



“Amazing sitter! Ann was very good with not only taking care of my puppy but also communicating with me. I would highly recommend her! She has done a wonderful job everytime she was here and was always ontime.”


About: I have a deep genuine love for all animals. I absolutely love dogs, I have experience with big overly energetic dogs and small ones as well. I’m very energetic, caring and compassionate so I know your pet will enjoy it’s time with me. I like to stay fit so walking with your pet won’t just be a job but a fun enjoyable activity. I have a lot of patience with dogs and cats. I have cat handling training and I also have my own 3yr old cat. I have a free schedule I’m very understanding and flexible when it comes to time and availability. I’m a naturally caring and nurturing person so giving your pet any type of special care won’t be a problem for me.

“Sophia is awesome. We are so lucky to have found her. She is punctual, flexible and wonderful with our dog, Pixy. Pixy is a stubborn senior who knows what she wants and Sophia makes sure Pixy gets it. Whether it’s a walk and a snack or just some company, I know she’s in great hands with Sophia.”


“Anna has been amazing to coordinate with and scheduling drop in visits on our 4 month old puppy during our long work days. She is excellent with communicating with us and has made us feel completely safe with entrusting the care of our puppy to her. We will continue to use Anna for our future pet care needs.”


“Angela was AMAZING taking care of my 9 week old pup! We needed her to make two drop in visits while we were away for the day and she went above and beyond for our puppy. She spent extra time each visit, had no issues going to the hotel front desk to get a key for the room, and followed our special requests as our pup isn't fully vaccinated yet. She seems to really care for the animals she watches and our pup didnt even cry when she put her in her crate for nap time. We are so thankful, especially this being our first time using Rover, and definitely recommend Angela to other puppy and dog parents!”


About: Hello! My full-time gig is as an elementary teacher! When it’s summer, I’m looking to replace my fifth graders with some furry friends :) During the school year, I’m available for evening walks. I’m also available for house sitting, however your pets have to be okay for 7-8 hours. I've been a pet owner for the last 12 years. I cared for and loved my dear beagle, Molly until she passed in 2021. Currently I'm a proud cat dad to my cats, Philly and Juno. I would love to take your pet for a walk, long or short, hang out with them at your home, and of course love them until you get home! I'm well versed in administering medication, puppy training, and general care for both cats and dogs. I'm most free on the weekends or during "teacher breaks" (think winter, spring break, and summer break), but I can be available for evening and nighttime drop-ins during the week. I CAN do housesitting gigs during the week as long as your pets can be without potty breaks for about eight hours. I can come over to your place and drop in for walks, play time, or just some good ol' snuggles. I am also available for overnights in your home!

“Erin does an amazing job; our greyhound Happy just loves her! She is professional and communicates very well. She's thoughtful and respectful of our home, making sure feet are clean and things are tidy. Erin is quick to respond to requests for help and flexible when my schedule changes. I can confidently recommend Erin.”


About: $25 for first-time bookers! Your Promo Code: GRANTS01745 Hello! My name is Grant, I'm a writer and creative marketing guy who works remotely, am a huge, season-ticket-holding Cubs fan, gay-friendly, and I absolutely love dogs! I have over 16 years experience caring for my own dogs and I'm one of the best Dog Dads out there! I enjoy dogs more than people sometimes, no offense, LOL, and I've always loved dog walking, pet sitting, reinforcing training techniques as instructed by owners (and teaching my own dogs), and playing with man and woman's best friends! I would love to meet you and your best friend, and I hope to have that opportunity to make your life a little easier by letting me take great care of your little guy or gal! I spend a good 45 minutes with your little lovers, including a walk and playtime, sometimes it’s a full hour—I don’t rush. I am responsible, loving and kind, educated, and will give your dog the best care possible outside of immediate family. For longer "day of" stays, where you may be going out for the day and need me for 8 hours or more of playtime and multiple walks, I will charge minimum wage in Illinois, $15 per hour, so for example an 8-hour day at your home with your pet would be $120. Tell me more about your pet and how I can tailor my time to make them happy and take the very best care that they are accustomed to! I can walk your dog up to 3 times daily and feed the pet according to your requirements. I am used to cooking for my dog, with a small kibble supplement, so if for example, you would love me to cook up some chicken with vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower, I can do that if you have the budget to accommodate purchase of the ingredients! I'm happy to play with your dog inside or outdoors, in your yard, or drive to the nearest park to get some great exercise and Vitamin D! A happy dog is a tired dog, and my plan would be for the dog to have a full day of fun and exercise! If your dog has a pal or two, or a day care you like to drop your dog off at where he or she has some buddies they like to play with, I'm willing to drop your snuggle bear off for a few hours, etc., to break up the monotony of being at home. Whatever I can do to match your dog's usual routine -- let me know -- and we'll make it happen!

About: I'm a true animal lover with tons of patience and experience. I have 3 dogs at home and they are my best friends. I rescued Maggie when she was a year old 9 years ago, and raised my 2 Shiba Inu boys from puppies. I used to have 1 cat as well but she passed away due to old age. I work from home so I'm fairly flexible. I recently move to Burr Ridge area and I'm hoping to take advantage of my work from home situation and provide some help to people with a busy work schedule. My home is a single family house sitting on nearly an acer with a fully fenced backyard. So the dogs have plenty of space to run around safely.

About: I've grown up with dogs all of my life. From puppies to seniors, small and big, I've taken care of them all. I've taken care of dogs after surgeries and kept them comfortable and assisted them getting around safely. I have completed dog training classes with my dogs and have taught them tricks! I have a huge place in my heart for all dogs and will take care of your dogs like they're my own! I am currently a stay at home mom with our 4 year old son. I would be available to take care of your dog(s) throughout the day. Israel, Jaxson and I live in a house with a fenced in yard with our two dogs, 11 year old mixed breed, Annabelle and 8 year old, Sophie, a Wheaten Terrier. We love meeting new dogs and enjoy seeing our dog friends return for another visit! Feel free to reach out to me with any questions! I am a Stay At Home Mom with a 4 year old son and our two dogs, so I am available throughout the day to take care of any new dog friends. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company and stay active. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

Grant S.
“Where to begin? Grant has done an amazing job taking care of my Bobbi girl, a growing German Shepard that’s a bundle of energy and who doesn’t always listen—but thanks to Grant’s calming energy, she has chilled out a lot and he even helps her practice some commands that Bobbi learned with a trainer! Bobbi loves to take a dip in the pool during the summer months, and Grant will jump in with her, playing fetch with her favorite ball! Bobbi always looks exhausted and smiley when I return home after a trip, so I know, along with the daily videos and photos Grant will send me, that my girl has been in great hands when I’m away. I had to take an unexpected two-week trip recently, and Grant was on the case with two days notice. Bobbi is used to Special Sundays where I will cook up a steak for her (which I make last a few days along with some rice and kibble), and Grant has cooked for Bobbi, too, going the extra mile to make her happy! Thanks Grant, hope this review helps you make other dog owners as happy as you’ve made me and my Bobbi!”

Heather & Israel B.

“Heather is an absolutely dog sitter. My pup always has a good time when she dog sits for me. You can have her stay at your place or they can stay with her. She has a nice gated backyard and nearby parks, so my dog always gets plenty of exercise. Its always a worry when picking a new pet sitter for your pup, but with Heather...they will be in GOOD hands. I would DEFINITELY recommend her!!”
