House Sitting in Riverwoods

“Our pup LOVES Gabi. When we returned from a 10 day trip she acted like we just took a short trip to the store. She used to have hair loss and digestive issues after a long trip. This time none of that!”

“If we could give Brianna L. more than 5 stars we would! Brianna watched our dog and 2 cats and house sat. We could tell our pets fell in love with Brianna during our time away. Brianna was excellent at communications including providing photos, videos and updates while we were away. We came home to a spotless house. Our dog Jill needed to take pills while we were away and Brianna effectively managed this. We would highly recommend Brianna for any of the services offered on Rover and will definitely use Brianna again in the future when the need arises.”

About: I had 2 tabby cats of my own, I love cats and their shenanigans! I have experience with kittens to senior cats - I can provide the care and attention they need while you're taking care of other essentials for your furry friends. Spending some time with your cat(s) will be a win-win. I'm available to drop-in to check-in on your cat(s) as early in the day as needed until around 8pm. I'm usually available most holidays as well. I typically have a meet and greet prior to accepting the first booking which would help me become familiar with the area your cat(s) will be in for drop-in visits, what their routine looks like, what their preferences and personalities are like, etc. And it gives you a chance to get to ask me any questions you may have. Booking any drop-in visits afterwards are quick as I'd just need a heads up if anything changed since the prior booking. It's important for me to understand if there's anything in particular with your cat(s) you want me to follow or watch out for, please let me know. I'm open to accommodate as you know your furry friend best. I hope to build trust with you & your cat(s) for seamless care when you're busy taking care of other obligations.

“Anna was such a dream. I had an unexpected delay in my flight and she was willing to stay a few extra hours to ensure my dog was taken care of helping ease the stress of the travel delay. I highly recommend her. She’s very responsive and communicates very well. Thank you for saving the day Anna!”

“We were very happy with Aury and will call her again to sit. She stayed in our home for 3 nights and cared for our sweet golden doodle. She gave him daily medicine, walked him twice a day and sent us photos and updates. He seemed well cared for and happy when we came home. Aury left our house neat and clean the way we left it. She is very pleasant and responsible. We’d highly recommend her . Thank you.”

“Grace was excellent! She checked in regularly, sent lots of pics of Tini and genuinely cared about Tini and her comfort (she's a Senior dog). Grace was respectful of our home and we came home to a clean house, she even washed and folded the sheets she used. We will definitely use Grace again, Tini was very well cared for! Thank you Grace!”

“Noemi was great at communicating and providing updates while we were gone! Our dog is typically skeptical of new people, but warmed up to her immediately in a way we rarely see. She was willing to do a meet and greet before staying with our pup which put us at easy. I would definitely user her again.”

“Amy was wonderful with our old husky. We loved getting daily dog pictures and videos from Amy while she stayed at our home for the week. She left the house spotless and we are so grateful for her care of both our dog and home. Absolutely recommend Amy!”

“Yuliia was terrific with our very quirky, anxious rescue dog and with our sweet, easy dog. She was patient with the anxious guy and didn't give up on becoming his friend. We'd definitely recommend her!”

Amanda G.

“Ryan is the best! He’s punctual, communicative, and reliable, plus our dog absolutely loved him. He stayed at our house for a long weekend and we came back to it being in the same condition we left it in, no issues at all. He sent us pictures and let us know how Birdie was doing, he even left us a cute picture of her on our fridge. Highly recommend!”

About: I have a really deep love for dogs, especially senior pups. I’m naturally gentle, patient, and attentive, which I think older dogs really respond to. I take the time to understand each dog’s unique needs and personality—whether they’re shy, slow-moving, or just need a little extra comfort. I truly care for every dog like they’re my own, and I find real joy in creating a calm, safe space where they can feel at ease. Caring for pets fits really naturally into my routine because I truly enjoy it—it doesn’t feel like a chore to me. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, check-ins, feeding, and cuddles throughout the day. I’m used to structuring my day around a pet’s needs, whether that’s slow morning strolls for older pups, medication routines, or just being a calm presence nearby. I’m happy to adjust to whatever makes your pet feel safe and cared for. I always treat a client’s home with the same respect I’d want someone to have in mine—clean, quiet, and mindful. When I’m in their space, I try to keep things as calm and familiar as possible for the pet. I stick closely to their usual routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, medications, or just how they like to relax. I move slowly, especially with older or anxious dogs, and I pay close attention to their comfort. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and never alone.

“Ana was so attentive to our dog Willow’s needs. She was great with communication and gave her some love & great walks! Would definitely recommend Ana as the caretaker for your dog or pet!”

About: I have owned dogs sense I was I’d say 6, once I turned 10 I started offering family and friends to watch their animals, which included feeding, playing with, walking, bathing, grooming. I am currently not working, I am currently enrolled in online classes to become a horse trainer, so I am open pretty much always sense all my classes are set paced I don’t offer in home services but I do have a dog of my own you can request that I bring him over to play, he is house trained, but is afraid of big dogs so small dog owners only! I worked for a dog day care company so I have a wide variety of experience with dogs all ages and sizes, as well as basic training in dog first aid.
