About: I am an experienced, reliable and dependable pet lover. I have grown up my whole life with animals. I recently had to put my senior pitbull down so my house is very quiet now. Pet care is my passion and currently my main source of income and work. I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am interested in walking, daily visits, or overnight boarding anytime of the week. Our home has a large fenced in yard, perfect for your pup to enjoy some fresh air, or bask in the sunshine. I can take your pet on walks or they can run around in the yard. Or we can snuggle up on the couch and get lots of belly rubs.

“This was our first time using Ellie as our dog sitter and we now know why she is listed with star sitter status. Upon meeting her we knew she’d be a good fit and exactly what we were looking for. She was amazing and we truly appreciate the attention to detail, the communication, and care she provided to us and our baby while we were away. Each visit she sent us pictures and detailed notes about our pup’s potty breaks and feedings. We were at ease knowing our baby was safe and in good hands. We are looking forward to hiring Ellie again in the future! Thanks so much!!”

About: Mario: I have owned a dog for a majority of my life, from small to big sized dogs. I have owned pure bred and rescues throughout my life, every dog deserves a good home. My favorite dog is the Boston Terrier and I have owned 3 in recent years. I have experience with caring for older dogs and raising pups. My last Boston became sick with a neurological problem which provided me experience with giving daily medicines and changing her diaper multiple times a day. Since her passing, I have adopted two more Boston Terriers. Yoshi is a 2.5year old boy with a quirky personality who loves to give kisses and cuddle at night. Most recent addition to my home is an 8 month old girl named Mochi. Both of my pups are dog friendly, they love going to the dog park to run around and play. I have watched over my brother's 80 pound husky/cattle mix, my parents mixed rescue from a puppy mill, and friend's fur babies in the past. I provided plenty of stimulation with toys, bones, walks, dog parks and general play time of tug of war, fetch, etc. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby and promise to love them like my own!!! Mario: I work full time on a hybrid schedule. I work from home 2-3 days a week; when I do go to the office I am gone from 7am-4:45pm. My dogs eat in the morning then go for a walk to take care of business before I leave for work. When I work from home, I have more flexibility to take the dogs out for more walks or to the dog park (weather permitting). After I come home from work the dogs are fed and taken for another walk; my two dogs keep each other busy, either playing tug-a-war or keep away of their favorite toy. I will also play these games and fetch if they want me to but they tire each other out way better than I ever could. I have a small fenced in patio with grass area for them to do their business, I let the dogs out whenever they want to. I have a small fenced in patio (4ft high fence) with an astro-turf area for the dogs to go potty. I provide a loving and safe environment at my home for my two pups and would do the same for yours. I provide plenty of toys and treats for good behavior, using positive reinforcement. I do crate our dogs when I leave, your dog doesn't necessarily need to be crated if they are well behaved. My pups also sleep in our bed, I would accommodate you to the best of my abilities on the structures and rules your pup has already in place.

“Mary did a great job. Our 6 mo old puppy is skittish with strangers and Mary’s knowledge and manner allowed them to get along as well as could be expected, certainly well enough to keep her safe and cared for. We are hoping to become regular customers :-)”

About: I have been a dog owner since 1992. My family had 2 Labradors and now currently have small rescue dogs at home. I have taken care of family and friends dogs over the years I am a full time teacher so for now I am available on the weekends drop by visits. When summer comes I should have a much greater availability. My first focus will be the safety of your animal and making sure it receives all its basic needs while I’m entrusted in their care.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and am an absolute dog lover! I look forward to caring for your furry friend and helping with whatever they need. I work from home and can usually adjust my schedule to accommodate your needs. I’m available all day or night and weekends as well. Thank you! I have a dog and three children who will be able to play with your animal while I care for them in my home. I work from the house, so will spend the day with your dog.

“Pamela is fantastic! We really appreciate how kind, consistent, and trustworthy Pamela is with our pet. The pictures that she sends during her visits help us feel at ease and know that everything is ok at home. Thank you!”

“Molly Is Great!”

“Elle dropped in on Cubby a few times when we needed help. She was absolutely awesome with Cubby, very gentle and genuine. Her care and passion for dogs truly came out when we saw the photos she took. She was on-time, followed all instructions to ensure Cubby's routine wasn't interrupted. She kept us informed throughout the process of her visit. I would highly recommend Elle for any Rover service!”

About: I have had a dog ever since I was little. I have also taken care of both dogs and cats for neighbors in the past. I’m currently not working, so I have a lot of free time. I’d be happy to help take care of your pet—whether that’s feeding, walking, keeping them company, or whatever you need. Let me know how I can support you I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—walks, feeding times, and bedtime rituals. I also provide regular communication with lots of photos as well.

About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was little and I’ve also worked with horses. I love animals, and I’m really excited to meet your dog or cat. I’m currently a student, but I’m taking a break semester from classes so I have a lot of availability and free time to take care of pers. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly English Pointer at my home. I also have a harness and leash available for large dogs to walk them if you don’t have one already.

About: I am a young professional originally from Park Ridge, IL. Ever since I was born, I have had a dog in my household. Currently, my parents have two Great Pyrenees named Harry + Sally (Sally is in my profile picture). I really love dogs (the bigger the better) and would love the chance to take care of dogs while being home this holiday season. I am very friendly, caring, and pay close attention to what makes each dog happy. I have a flexible, hybrid work schedule that allows time for pet care. I current live and work in New York but am back in Park Ridge for the holiday season. My building allows pets so I would be happy to house pets as necessary. I am also willing to make consistent visits to the clients home if that is preferable for each of us.

About: Growing up, my family’s pet allergies meant I couldn’t have dogs of my own, so I devoted myself to helping neighbors by walking, pet sitting, and loving their pets as if they were mine. These early experiences taught me to care for animals with patience and compassion. As a licensed nurse, I bring professional attention to your dog’s safety and comfort, giving you confidence they’ll receive loving, reliable care every time we’re together. I prioritize pet care in my schedule by setting aside dedicated time each morning and evening for walks, play, and check-ins, ensuring pets receive consistent, attentive care. My flexible nursing shifts allow me to tailor my availability to each pet’s unique needs, so your dog stays happy, healthy, and on a routine you can rely on. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I follow their established routines closely to keep pets comfortable and reduce stress. I always secure doors and gates, remove hazards, and double-check collars or leashes for safety before walks. In my own home, I create a calm, clean environment with pet-safe spaces free from allergens or toxic plants. My nursing background ensures I monitor pets’ health closely, respond quickly to any concerns, and communicate updates honestly so you always feel confident in your pet’s care.

About: I’ve grown up around all sorts of animals and have experience taking care of cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, fish, and more! I’m quick to learn and follow routines. I also have experience with giving medicine and treatments to animals. I am currently working as a teacher in the suburbs and have availability before and after school hours; this could be drop in visits or overnights. I also have all day availability on Saturdays and Sundays. **For the summer I am available every day, any hours. I unfortunately do not have the flexibility or availability of having cats and dogs in my home, but I am more than willing to follow a routine and provide play and care in yours!

About: With 28+ years of experience, I provide reliable, loving care, personalized attention, and fun adventures, treating every dog like my own for stress-free peace of mind. I am currently working part-time, and my hours are very flexible. I am available both weekdays and weekends to help you out with your four legged friend when needed. Having my own dogs for so many years, I understand that a dog is a part of the family and others need to take care of it and treat it as such. As a dog walker, I am committed to making sure that your dog is safe with me. I am extremely vigilant when crossing the street or alley. No interaction with other dogs if required.

About: I have 2 puppies and I take care of them on a day to day basis. I love taking them to the dog park, going on walks, and playing. I have experience with training them as well. I love to bring them with me everywhere I go. They are very well trained and very well behaved even as puppies. I love animals and have also dog sat for other families in the past. I look forward to meeting anyone for dog sitting or walking! I am a nanny a few days a week but other than that I’m completely free. I can always work dog-walking into my schedule ❤️ I would prefer to care for pets in your home as it’s easier and less stressful for the pet. I am very trustworthy and never break trust with clients.
