“Ann was great with our cats. We appreciated her quick communication, professionalism, and prompt updates. Also, thank you for bringing in our packages!! Our shmittens aren’t the friendliest but Ann even got some pets in. We are grateful we found Ann!”
“Janette and Charles were great with my kitty! They were very communicative about their visits, and even brought toys to play with my cat! I felt confident that my cat was well cared for while I was away. Highly recommend them to care for your pets.”
“Nicholas was the best! His care for my feisty cat was amazing. I especially appreciated his updates and good communication about the particulars, and he also attended to details. He went above and beyond and all respects.”
“Mario was great for our dogs and really cared for them while we were out of town. We were worried leaving during fireworks since one is terrified, but he calmed him down great! Mario was very informative and replied quickly. We will definitely use him again!”
“Michael was amazing!!! He checked in on our dogs twice, fed them, and took them out on a potty break. One of our dogs had an accident, but he did such a great job cleaning up, i couldnt even tell where it happened. He also left a very detailed note for each of the visits and sent pictures. We cannot recommend him enough, and will definetely be using him again in the future! Thanks so much Michael!!!”
“I could not expect more from Katy, Addy and Holden. They were truly the best to my two kitties. Tons of pictures that any pet owner would love to see! So grateful to have them while I was gone! Will definitely have them back very soon! ♥️”
About: I’m a reliable and experienced dog walker with over 5 years of hands-on pet care experience. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, and I’m very comfortable handling multiple dogs, following specific routines, and ensuring each pup feels safe and happy. I also have a dog of my own — a Boxer — so I truly understand the importance of exercise, structure, and positive attention. I’m used to high-energy dogs, longer walks, and keeping pups engaged both physically and mentally. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior, leash manners, and individual needs, and I always treat pets as if they were my own. Whether it’s a quick walk, extended exercise, or just extra love and care, I’m dedicated to giving every dog a great experience. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I have flexible availability during weekdays and weekends, allowing me to give dogs plenty of time, attention, exercise, and consistency. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort at all times. I carefully follow instructions, monitor behavior closely, and ensure dogs feel secure, exercised, and cared for in any environment. I treat them like part of my family!
About: As a dedicated and experienced dog lover, I offer a safe and nurturing environment for your furry baby. Having a Shih Tzu named Lady of my own and a Yorkie who was blind and had diabetes and required insulin shots on a daily basis and sadly passed away. My experience has given me a deep understanding of the patience and specific attention some dogs require. As a stay at home empty nester, your furry baby will receive the utmost attention and companionship it deserves. In my home every furry baby is part of the family. I live in a single family home with a huge fenced in yard. They are free to roam in my house, no restrictions, just fun!
“Elva is absolutely great. She is conscientious, thoughtful and helpful. She did such a nice job with our 5 month old bulldog and taught us a few ways to break her of some bad habits.”
“Cassandra did a great job dropping-in on my dogs. She made sure they were happy and fed and provided through updates including photos. I would definitely have her take care of my pet in the future.”

About: 🐾 About us Certified Dog Trainer (Animal Behavior College – Positive Reinforcement Based Training) I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and what started as helping family and friends turned into a true passion and profession. My wife and I both work from home, which means your dog receives consistent supervision, structure, and plenty of attention throughout the day. 📍 Located 10 minutes from O’Hare — perfect for travelers. 🕒 Drop-Off & Pick-Up Hours Monday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Tuesday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Wednesday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Thursday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Friday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Saturday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Sunday: 12:30 PM – 9:00 PM Please select a specific 30-minute drop-off and pick-up window when booking. I ask that you arrive within that window so we can keep transitions smooth, organized, and stress-free for everyone. If anything changes, just communicate as early as possible — I completely understand that travel plans can shift. 🏡 Our Home & Philosophy We have a fully fenced yard and a dog-friendly home designed with safety in mind. Playtime is always supervised, and dogs only interact if we’re 100% confident they get along. It’s completely okay if your dog prefers people over other dogs — we respect every dog’s personality. Each dog enjoys free roaming, walks, and one-on-one interaction with us — they’re treated like part of the home, not just part of a group. 📋 Requirements Dogs must be crate trained and comfortable resting in a crate when needed. They must also be up to date on all required vaccinations to ensure the health and safety of every dog in our care. These standards help us maintain a calm, structured, and safe environment for everyone. 📸 Updates You’ll receive daily updates with photos so you can relax knowing your best friend is in great hands. 🐾 Our biggest priorities are ❤️ Love, 🛡 Safety, 🤝 Trust, and 🏡 Comfort. Our number one rule: no dog is ever put in a position where they feel they have to defend themselves.
“Leah was great! It was wonderful to have someone who overthought feeding my boys and making sure they got their medicines. One of my boys is super shy and she took the time to find his hiding spots to check on him and even sat near by to lure him out. My other guy got lots of attention as well. Leah also went beyond cat sitting to water the plants, bring in the mail and brought in the trash cans from the curb.”
“Paige was above and beyond fantastic!!! She helped us out in a pinch when we had to change plans due to going into labor early. We could tell our dogs loved Paige. She sent photos each time, kept us updated and was fantastic all around!”

We just got home from a 10 day trip. Our dog, Heidi, seemed very happy and excited. This is our third time using Isaiah, and like before he was reliable and communicated very well with us. He took care of Heidi’s needs. We all enjoy his help. I highly recommend him.
Patricia was so great! Helped take care of our little zoo of ferrets, chickens, lizard, fish and a cat. Our ferret needed daily medicine which was super important and Patricia was so reliable we didn’t have to worry! She was thorough and communicated well, plus shared cute pics of our critters too… would highly recommend!!

Helen was awesome! Our cat is very anxious and requires a transdermal medicine and Helen was able to handle our cat really well. She was able to give proactive updates about her. She was thorough in understanding our cat's needs. We will be booking with her again for sure!
Arielle is a fantastic sitter who I highly recommend to anyone. She was very attentive to my Boxer's needs, checked in often and provided updates consistently. Communication was never an issue and I never worried that my dog was not being taken care of. Thanks Arielle!
Paige is amazing! She’s so friendly & is such a reliable and responsive dog sitter. We could always count on her and she was so flexible when our schedule would change last minute. Was a huge relief knowing she was there to take care of our 2 year old mini bernedoodle & give her love and cuddles. Would highly recommend!!
This is our second time having Ellie watch our cats and we were out of the country this time. She made us feel so much more comfortable being far away. She sends updates, pictures, and spends extra special time with each of our kitties. She's ama
Julianna was amazing! She is very communicative and was so understanding of our crazy schedule. She was so sweet to our dogs and provided them cuddles and pets. She even read to them and sent us pictures everyday! She was on time with the visits and was respectful of our home. She made our pups happy and safe, which gave us the peace of mind to have a fun vacation. 10/10!
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!
