“Erika was wonderful with our Plott dog Nash!!❤️ he is still raving about how nice she was ! lol 😬 we took a week vacation and Erika stayed at our house and watched Nash for us. She sent us videos and pictures all the time! Our house was spotless when we came home! Just a really fantastic Dog Sitter! We will definitely use Erika again and again!”


“This is our first time using Rover. I was very concerned about leaving my fur babies with someone I didn’t know. Haylie was a perfect fit from the very start. She showed up promptly for a meet and greet and my dogs fell for her right away. Haylie stayed in my home for a full week and loved on my dogs the entire time. She was easily gotten a hold of, followed all directions to a T, and sent me so many pictures of my happy pups that it made it so much easier to be away. We chose Haylie because of her passion for animals, she got wonderful reviews and many repeat clients. I’m hoping that this review helps put another furbaby parent at ease about leaving their babies in Haylie’s care. I’ve already booked more stays with her. Thank you Haylie!!!!”


“Jordyn you were absolutely amazing. You took care of Denim as if he were your own pup. You were so patient with him. Gave him time to get to know you and to start trusting you. Thank you for the constant updates and for the kind note you left for me. I really appreciate everything you've done for us. Thank you.”


“Jennifer did an awesome job keeping us informed and making the dogs very happy with playtime, lots of naps, and fun treats. It was so relaxing to be able to go away and know our home was watched and the dogs happy to stay in their own beds. If an occasion presents itself again where we need to travel and not have all thee dogs with us we will call her again.”


“Jacob was incredible. He stopped by to meet our boys last week. They immediately took to his kind calming demeanour. He was as very personable and kept us informed periodically throughout the day with pictures and updates on our boys. We are very thankful for him and would use him as our sitter again in a heartbeat.”


“Haley and Alex came through for me in a very last-minute and stressful situation due to a family emergency. They stayed with my Boys and kept them happy and cared for in my home while I was out of town. They were great about keeping me updated, especially knowing how stressed I was since this was the first time anyone besides my immediate family took care of my pups. I would definitely book them again and will recommend them to all of my pet parent friends! 🐶🐾”


About: I’ve had animals my whole life and love interacting with them and spending my time with them! Whether that’s just sitting around or being outside playing/walking! I’m very much an animal person! I work full time but 12 hour shifts so I only work 3 days a week. My work schedule is 7AM-7:30PM. I can wake up early to let them out and feed them and can take care of them when I get home but on my days off my attention goes to them when needed! I make sure I listen to exactly when and how the pets need to be cared for. I don’t over push the walks or the play time. I make sure if I am staying in the clients house that I keep it clean and listen to their rules and expectation for me staying. I also make sure I communicate often and keep up with updates to the clients.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my lifelong experience with animals. I've always had pets, including those I've rescued and others I've raised from birth, so I'm familiar with a wide range of temperaments and needs. I've also provided loving care for several senior dogs and a senior cat I had since she was a kitten, giving me valuable experience with pets at every stage of life. Since I am primarily self employed, I am flexible in terms of availability! I am available day or night. I try mt best to accommodate client needs. Since I love in a second story condo, I walk my two canine boys several times daily for exercise and for bathroom needs. My cat, Gracie stays indoors but has everything she needs at her disposal.


“Lauren was the best Rover I've had. She was responsive, sent photos and genuinely cared for my pup while I was gone for the week. As soon as my dog was in care I didn't have a worry. She will be my go-to Rover of choice from now on! Thank you Lauren. You were amazing!!”


“This was my first experience of using Rover so I was a little unsure of how it all worked but Jennifer was such a blessing to find, her knowledge and experience of dogs and rescue is invaluable. Angus was walked and played with and entertained. I was relaxed and able to enjoy my weekend away without worry. They even had an adventure with a squirrel being chased into the house !!!! Jennifer was very capable and confident and calm and was able to get the squirrel out !! much to Angus' excitement. LOL Jennifer was punctual, and left my home just as I left it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs a petsitter.”


About: i’m very attentive to animals! i’ve had mice, hamsters, a bunny, fish, and now a super sweet kitty! and my family has 2 pitbull mixes(very hyper!) and 40 chickens! My fiance , who i’ve been with for 5.5 years(6 in febuary!) is my doggie care partner, and loves animals just as much as me! your pets will be getting double the attention for the price of 1 person:) I’m available at all times as i’m trying to take college classes to pursue my baking career ! I am my Cat, gizmos, favorite person and he’s always following me around! i currently would be watching your dogs in your home . i am available for drop ins, and overnight if needed, If you have big dogs/multiple that need walking my boyfriend will be able to accompany me!

About: I am a big animal lover and it is rare that I do not get along with a pet. I have had both cats and dogs my entire life, both big and small. I have been caring for animals for my family and others for over 10 years, and am comfortable dealing with animals that have special requirements and needs. I am currently on summer break from college and my job up there so during the week I am available anytime. Weekends can get busy for me catching up with family so I am not guaranteed to be available. I have worked with many different dog breeds and am not scared by their breeds or age. I will care for your pets as they are my own with lots of love. I am the person who looks for the dog to hang out with at parties because they deserve to have fun too. Pets always come first in my mind because they might be a small part of our lives but we are their entire life.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my extensive pet care experience, which includes training puppies, providing specialized senior pet care, and a genuine love for animals. I’ve volunteered at the shelter, where I gained invaluable experience fostering dogs in need, including the special bond I formed with my best friend, a rescue dog. I understand each pet's unique needs, whether it’s active playtime for young pups or gentle support for seniors. My commitment to creating a safe and nurturing environment ensures every dog feels at home with me. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I work a flexible remote job. This allows me to dedicate ample time to walk, play, and care for your dog throughout the day. I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. Whether it’s regular feeding times, play sessions, or cuddles, your furry friend will always be my priority. In my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment for pets by ensuring all hazardous items are out of reach, providing cozy resting areas, and maintaining a clean space. I have secure play areas where dogs can enjoy themselves without risk. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their space by following established routines and guidelines. I prioritize safety by keeping doors and gates secure and monitoring pets during playtime. Trust is built through consistent communication, regular updates, and attention to each pet's individual needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away.


About: My motto is: "I wouldn't trust my pet with just anyone, why should YOU?! I TREAT EVERY PET AS IF IT WERE MY OWN!" I'm a pet care specialist with 40+ years experience. One of my first jobs was as a Veterinary Assistant. Since that time I've worked at various animal hospitals, kennels, grooming salons & dog walking/pet sitting companies. Over the past the 40 years, I've worked in nearly every aspect of the pet care field. In 1994 I started my own pet care service in Chicago, offering petsitting/feedings/dog walking for clients who were stuck at work or going on vacation. After relocating in 2008, I began offering my services in the northwestern suburban area & added in-home basic grooming such as nail trims, ear cleaning, etc. Available by appt. Days, evenings, overnights, weekends, holidays, etc. I currently work part-time at a grooming salon & have open availability (but please still try to book in advance!) Various online payments accepted including Zelle & Cash App as well as cash & personal checks. Feel free to be as specific & detailed as you'd like when it comes to how you prefer your pet is cared for! I welcome any notes regarding feedings/diet, treats, etc. My goal is always to provide top quality pet care that DOESN'T break the bank & become great friends with your fur baby!

About: I am experienced in administering medicinal injections, nail trimming and teeth brushing of larger breeds, lifting 60+ lbs, pad and potty training, and assisting senior and special needs dogs. I currently work remote and spend most of the day with my own pup by my side. We go to the nearby dog park at least weekly, go on two 20-25 minute walks (1mi+) daily, and play regularly throughout the day. He is very friendly and happy to tag along for any walks or play times, if the company is welcomed. I have a large crate available, if needed, and an in ground stake in the front and back yard with 30ft leads attached, allowing for plenty of time outside in shaded and unshaded areas. Food bowls are cleaned after every meal and pet waste is cleaned up after every trip outside.


“Maddie and Amy were wonderful!! Maddie is great with communication and kept us updated several times while we were gone. Maddie sent photos and videos of the pups and we could tell they were very happy with their sitters. I highly recommend Maddie and will definitely be using them again!”


About: I've been raising and training dogs since I was 10. I am a Mom of 2 boys and we have 2 dogs currently. I will care for your pets like my own with care and compassion. I am also a great housekeeper and very organized. I am experienced with all size breeds of dogs and cats as well. I am currently working full time from home so I am happy to give your dogs some attention and exercise on my lunch and after work hours. I would be happy to help out on the weekends as well with staying with your pets or taking them out for a walk or playtime. I am happy to watch your pet at your home. I have a medium size dog at home now so I wouldn't want to bring your pets to my home.
