“Johanna was the perfect pet sitter over Thanksgiving. I had travel hiccups and changes up through our booking, and she was so flexible. She also provided tons of photos and kept our apartment super clean. We will definitely be booking her again.”

“Dylan was a lifesaver when we had another cancellation at the last minute. He was professional and great with our senior pup. We'd definitely work with him again.”

“Ray was great! He sent lots of pictures and updates and consulted me on pretty much everything I hadn't left instructions for. Also, he was very accommodating when I booked him for the wrong dates initially and had to switch things up while I was on my trip. I will definitely book Ray again if I need another house sitter or dog walker.”


About: I’m a cat parent to two very sweet, rambunctious long hair kitties and grew up with both dogs and cats. Both of my cats are medication dependent so I’m very comfortable with animals who need a little extra care. I also regularly care for my friends’ and neighbors’ pets. I’m a freelance illustrator with a very flexible schedule so I’m available to work around each pet’s unique needs and schedule. My goal is to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible without disruptions to what they are used to when you’re home. I am available for drop ins as well as staying at your home and will adhere to your pet’s schedule for meals, walks, play, and potty breaks.
“Coleen did a wonderful job watching Ollie while we were out of town for a few days. We received frequent updates and upfront information related to time spent with our pup. Coleen was very professional and responsive, we will request to book again soon! Thanks Coleen!”
“This is the second time Sarah has pet sat for us, and both times she took great care of our dog and our cat, and left our house immaculate. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Had a great experience with Tammy, who provided in-home dog-sitting for our two dogs while we were away for a couple of weeks. She was kind, professional, communicative, and took very good care of the fur babies. We returned to a tidy house and a couple of happy, healthy doggos. Will definitely ask her to sit for us again, and would recommend her to others!”

“Aleia was awesome. She sent us frequent photo updates of both our normally shy pets looking so happy and playful! We came home to happy pets and hope this is the first of many sits with Aleia!”


“Jai pet sat for my two cats and went above and beyond! She left the house cleaner than she found it, and accommodated their early feeding times/ medications, and sent detailed updates that were very much appreciated”

“Patrick stayed at our house for eight nights with our dog. He left the place immaculate. Our dog was excited for us to come home but not desperate, like she has been with other sitters. He was responsive with all requests and sent frequent pictures. I trust that my dog had a great time with Patrick and we'll definitely use his services in the future.”

“Samantha was great! Really responsive and made me feel at ease leaving my pup for the weekend. I loved getting pictures and updates from her and would be happy to have her watch Finn in the future!”

“Tanisa is the best! She watched my 2 dog boys at my house for the weekend and it couldn't have been more perfect. Even my skittish, near-sighted husky mix sat in her lap! We can't wait to have her again!”


“Katelyn was great with our fur babies! She sent plenty of photo updates throughout the booking. She updated us about anything going on with the kids and asked questions along the way. We really appreciated her communication! The dogs loved her during meet and greet. I’m sure they wanted her to stay with all the doggy cuddle puddles! Would definitely book her again! It was so reassuring to have someone reliable, communicable, and compassionate. Made our vacation a breeze. We missed our doggos, but didn’t have to worry or stress with Katelyn!”

“Carla is wonderful! My husband and I both had last minute work trips come up at the same exact time, and Carla was available to watch our two dogs on short notice. She stayed in our home to watch over them since they are both older, and they couldn't have been in better hands. She was diligent, made sure we had care instructions, and sent photos and updates for us through her whole time watching them. My flight was delayed due to weather, and she even stayed a few hours extra to make sure they were taken out and comfortable until I could get home. She was even willing to come back in the evening to give them dinner and take them out again if my flight had gotten delayed even more. She is so sweet, and she left our home in immaculate condition. We will absolutely be reaching out to Carla to take care of our boys again!”

“Jo is just a great person. Period. She always goes above and beyond in caring for and entertaining our dogs, whether it’s bringing over her best enrichment toys or finding our dog’s favorite Real Housewives franchise to watch together. For this house sitting, Jo watched our newer puppy for the first time. He can be vocally reactive on walks and has some unique methods for managing his behavior. For Jo, it was no sweat. And during this house stay, my husband and I happened to be in Puerto Vallarta during the recent cartel rampage. Not only did Jo make sure that our doggos would be cared for regardless of when we made it back to the States, but she also made a genuine effort to check in on our general well-being. Like I said, she’s just a great person.”

“Milly was great! She had great communication and took wonderful care of our dog and home. The entire process was very easy and we would be happy to her book again. Thanks Milly!”

“Emily was so wonderful. My Bruno was very anxious and had GI issues all week. Emily handled everything like a champ. She was attentive and responsive. She communicated frequently and sent lots of pictures. Plus more when we asked. I would ABSOLUTELY book again. In fact I already have booked again”

“Lauren was so great with our dog, who unfortunately got a bit sick right before we left on our trip . Lauren was very flexible with the changes and was responsive throughout, providing lots of pictures and updates that made us feel more comfortable leaving our dog! The house was also perfectly clean when we got back. Thanks you!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Portage Park
Shaiva was exceptional. There were times while I was gone that I got quite jealous; I was confident my dog had completely forgotten about me because she was taking such great care of him. She sent so many pictures and updates I couldn't keep up. The house was in perfect condition (well, it looked just like I left it, so maybe not "perfect," and everyone was happy. I'll tell you, I've used Rover before for dog sitting. I have had great experiences every time. This was the best, bar none. Hire Shaiva. You won't regret it.

Kerlly took great care of our two senior dogs, including giving medication. She was very communicative and sent plenty photos and updates, so we got to see that our dogs did all of their favorite things. We would be very happy to have Kerlly watch our dogs again.

David did a great job pet sitting. He accommodated a last minute booking so we could go out of town Labor Day weekend. David sent photo updates throughout the day and was very easy to communicate with. Our dogs were very happy when we got home and the house was clean. Highly recommend!

Julia was a lifesaver for a last minute house sitting request! Julia was communicative, put in maximum effort but most importantly kept my two dogs including a very manic “puppy” happy, comfortable and safe. I loved getting photos of my fur babies while I was away and came back to two excited dogs and relatively clean house. Thanks so much!

Kailani house sat for me and my Labrador retriever. I highly recommend her to anyone needing the service. She provided regular check ins, left my apartment in the same condition she found it in and was great to work with! Will definitely be using her in the future when I travel out of town.
