“Kathryn has watched our 3 dogs numerous times now and she always does a fantastic job. She gives us timely updates and goes above and beyond to make sure our fur babies are well taken care of while we’re gone.”



“Peggy (Margaret) was absolutely fantastic! We had to leave our 5 month old bernedoodle puppy (Ralph) for a week and it was our first time leaving him. Ralph is in his crazy puppy stages which includes him being a land shark but Peggy was amazing. We appreciated her consistent updates with pictures. We felt so at ease being away from Ralph. We will absolutely hire Peggy again. Ralph was very well taken care of and Peggy also went above and beyond with taking care of things around the house such as cleaning up. Thank you so much Peggy for all that you did for us! Us and Ralph really appreciate it and we hope to see you soon!”



“Kat was so attentive, communicative, and loved by our older Puggle. She left our house in great shape, and went above and beyond to make sure our Ernest was taken care of. 10/10!”


“Karolina was super responsive and very great with Darwin and my house for the week while I was at a work conference. Darwin can’t wait for my next work trip so he can hang out with her again!”


“I had the pleasure of hiring Patrick W to care for my beloved furry friends, Ray-Ray and Wyatt l, and couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that Patrick has a genuine love for animals. He immediately connected with my boys, making me feel at ease leaving my dogs in his capable hands. Throughout the duration of the dog house sitting service, my dogs were well cared for and Patrick generally stuck to the feeding and walking schedule I provided, and I received regular updates and photos, which brought me comfort during my time away. Patrick genuinely cared and took the time to play with the dogs and give them the attention they need, ensuring they received plenty of exercise and affection. If you’re in need of a trustworthy, dedicated, and caring dog sitter, I highly recommend Patrick W. He exceeded my expectations and I will be reaching out to him for future pet-sitting needs. Thank you, Patrick, for being such a wonderful caregiver to my four-legged family members!”


“Angelina was absolutely fabulous with Marshmellow and Emerson. She shared photos and updates each day, she also provided wonderful recommendations on products. I highly recommend Angelina's services to care for your pets.”



“Maani was wonderful! From the very beginning, she was communicative, professional, and clearly an animal lover. Throughout the entire stay, I received steady updates and pictures of my pets, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I will absolutely be booking with her again — highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring sitter!”


About: I've owned and cared for all kinds of animals my whole life. Professionally, I have experience working as a dog handler, kennel attendant, dog bather, and groomer. I also have extensive experience working and caring for cats, horses, and various small animals. My +3 years working at a dog daycare facility had me safely handling a pack of up to 25 dogs; providing exercise & engagement, soft corrections, and positive reinforcement. To do so, it was necessary to be observant and in tune with the dog's behavior and always on the lookout for any signs of stress or aggression. As a bather and groomer, I was focused on hygiene but a large aspect of the job relied on my knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques. I've owned cats my entire life and have worked with a TNR rescue the past few years getting pregnant females and unneutered male cats fixed and adopted. I also have pet care insurance with animal baliee coverage in case of emergencies. I always care for every animal as if they are my own and I understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable and loved. I work part-time on the night shift, so I'm out of the house between 9:30pm and 3am Monday through Friday. Outside of that- my schedule is flexible. I am available on most weekends and holidays. I only book one client at a time for boarding, so your pet(s) will have my full attention. I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood with a huge, unfenced yard. I own a variety of animal care supplies and equipment including lunge-line leashes to keep dogs safely on my property.

“Lisa was great!!! This was our first dog/house sitting with Rover. We were hesitant having a stranger in our home but Lisa made me feel at ease during our initial meeting. She seemed genuine and extremely kind. She respected our home as it was her own. She took the initiative to gather used items and left our home very clean. She kept the dogs routines, did everything we asked and followed our home request. Our dogs were spoiled that’s for sure!!! So grateful to have met her.”


“Margaret was amazing! She was so wonderful to work with. She took such good care of our zoo family which consisted of 4 dogs and 2 cats for 5 days. She also took care of our home. She made sure our babies felt comfortable while we were away. I will definitely be booking with Margaret if she's available!”


“Melanie was great with our dogs! She sent us lots of pictures of them having fun while we’re we’re away. They were so happy and had lots of energy when we got home. And our home was just as we left it! Thank you so much!”



About: I’ve spent the past nine years caring for my poodle, watching her grow from a curious little puppy into my best friend. She is my fur sister. That experience taught me the importance of patience, love, and daily companionship. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and truly cared for while they’re with me. I work part-time, which means I have lots of free time to give your furry friend the love, play, and attention they deserve. I’m available on weekdays from 8 AM to 8 PM. Having cared for my poodle for the past nine years, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and part of the family. In my home, pets have a cozy and secure space where they can relax, play, and enjoy daily companionship. I follow their usual feeding, walking, and play routines to keep them comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick closely to their familiar schedule, so they feel just as loved and secure as they do with you.

“Great sitter!!! Five Stars! Will rebook! Lauryn goes the extra mile! And when your fur babies are left home alone, that's exactly the type of person you need! -plus I was always updated on the day, and received lots of pictures! ? ?”


“Ethel went above and beyond to keep my pups safe in this heat. I can’t thank her enough. My air conditioning went out and she tried to find a portable unit and took my dogs to a home with Ac so I didn’t have to worry about them while I was out of town”


About: So far, the longest I’ve taken car of a dog is 10 years. Other than that, I’ve been around many other dogs who seem to like my presence. I currently am part time and my schedule is usually pretty flexible so I can stop in whenever is needed to let the dogs outside or to walk them. I always want to make sure that the animals are comfortable with me so I think a meeting before the job would be beneficial. Any schedule you have would be appreciated and followed to the letter.

About: I have had personal pets for as long as I can remember!! Not only that but I also volunteer at various animal shelters in the Chicagoland area :) In the fall I will be going to college to become a veterinarian!! I’ve had a plethora of different animals and dog breeds throughout my life including ; pitbulls, boxers, shih-tzus and labs just to name a few!! I have my own little dog currently who I walk daily. I also play with and take care of the dogs at the shelter I volunteer at! Every morning I take my dog out of his playpen to completely clean it out. Not only that but I always wipe off his paws and mouth after our walks so he’s not tracking dirt around

Patrick was absolutely wonderful with our dog! He gave Millie so much attention, kept me updated with pictures and messages, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such good hands. I highly recommend Patrick to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter.

We couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience with Natalie. It was our first time booking through Rover so we were a little nervous, but Natalie’s strong consistent communication and clear experience dog/housesitting put us at ease. The daily pictures and updates gave us piece of mind on our trip away, and we came home to a clean house and a very happy puppy!
