“This is the second time I’ve asked Shakira to watch my Doberman, Laila and could not be more pleased. My dog can be super energetic and Shakira does a great job with her. I’ve even received compliments from my neighbors of how good she is when I’m away. Shakira is very responsive , detail oriented and sends daily updates and photos. HIGHLY recommend!”

“Belicia took wonderful care of Anya while we were away for 8 days. She fed and walked her and sent us numerous photos and updates. Anya fell sick during her stay and Belicia took great care of her. We would love to work with her again!”

“Alexa did a wonderful job taking care of our dog in our home over a long holiday weekend. She was communicative, made sure Beau got his walks and play time, left our home clean and our dog happy. She followed our instructions on everything and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. We hope our dog wasn’t too crazy for her, but we would gladly welcome her back! So grateful we found Alexa.”

“Montserrat was GREAT! She agreed to come over a few days before our booking to meet our squad, which we really appreciated. During her stay, she sent us many updates with tons of pictures! This was our first time using Roover and we were nervous but she quickly made us feel very comfortable about leaving. I would highly recommend asking Montse to watch your fur babies! I will definitely rebook with Montse for our next vacation.”

“Elizabeth was so great! We were able to meet before the house sitting and went over the specifics of my dog. She gave me daily updates and let me know he was doing well which I really appreciated!! I would definitely book again ?”

“This our first time hiring someone to take care of our dogs, usually we leave them with family. This time the entire family was on a trip so we opted for Rover and feel very blessed to have found Nicole. Nicole is very detail-oriented, communicated perfectly and even sent videos twice a day. We decided to leave the dogs at home instead of sending them to an unknown environment. And she not only walked them. She sat with them and gave them attention. This all became very crucial because it was very hard for me to leave my dogs this time around. One of my dogs had a bit of an eye irritation and she did a great job keeping track of his progress and keeping me updated. We are very grateful for Nicole and will definitely ask for her services again in the future.”

“Jayden was an extremely reliable sitter. They were very willing to meet us before booking. Jayden was great about providing us with frequent updates on our pets.”

“Margo did a great job. She was flexible and responsive. She sent lots of pictures and updates of our cats. We returned home after a week-long vacation and the house was in excellent shape. I will definitely use her for house-sitting and drop-in services in the future.”

“Shiri was awesome to accept a relatively last minute booking at a good rate, and was communicative and professional throughout her stay. I returned to my home exactly how I had left it for her which I appreciated as well. She was understanding and kind when problems arose which meant a lot for me given my dog is of old age and caring for him can be quite involved. Thanks Shiri!”

“Roman was such a great sitter! Arthur was very comfortable around him. Roman was very thoughtful and caring and made sure to send us photos and videos of Arthur while we were away. Would definitely recommend!”

“Sam did an amazing job watching my dog Josie. Josie is blind and requires help getting around and she can be a little stubborn. Sam was very patient with her and made sure she was very well taken care of. I will definitely book Sam again in the future.”

“Taylor was a great dog sitter for GiGi! She sent photos and made sure she was well taken care of. I would highly recommend Taylor for any pet sitting services!”

“I have one wire fox terrier and one boxer (he's 100 pounds) and crystal stayed with them an entire month and everyday I got pictures, updates, and so my babies having a GREAT TIME! Crystal also took care of my plants, house dusting, and brought in all my mail. It pained me when I moved from the city, because after six months I have not been able to find someone as good as Crystal. You can 100% trust her with your fur babies!!”

About: My household has been full of animals for as long as I can remember. I am currently a cat mom and co-owner of a parakeet, three sea frogs, and a kitten. I am an active volunteer in animal shelters as well and will take any opportunity to care for the animals around me. I am very caring and detail-oriented and will make sure your furry friend feels safe and loved in your absence. I am working part-time so I have a lot of flexibility to come check in on your pets as needed. I am flexible with traveling around Chicago as well so coming by will not be an inconvenience to me. I will send many update photos of how your furry friends are doing. I have cared for a wide variety of animals in my life (seriously almost everything), so I am comfortable with feeding and cleaning routines, as well as just fun activities for them. I am also comfortable with any medications that a pet would need to be administered.

“Alexis was wonderful! Timber loved her and they went on lots of walks and hung out in the sun. All I could ask for for my pup! Alexis also sent pictures and kept me informed the whole time I was gone. Will be booking her again!”

“Tamara was an excellent pet sitter. She showed up for the meet & greet before our scheduled time. Big plus for us! She was communicative during the time we were away & we hope use her again the future.”

About: I've taken care of our little furball, Rusty (11) since he was a puppy. I have had plenty of energy to tire him out running with the zoomies, and I'm still happy to give him gentle care and walks now that he's mellowed. I also volunteer at the local animal shelter walking dogs. I'm a current college student hoping to spend more time with pets and get my daily steps in! I keep on top of my availability calendar, and I'm excited to work with you to find the best time to care for your pet! I walk dogs with safety in mind. I'm already an avid walker of this beautiful Chicagoland area, so I have a good sense of the best sidewalks -- and I always keep an eye on traffic and possible hazards, including other dogs. I pet sit with the knowledge and respect that I am a guest in your home, and I always clear expectations and preferences with the client beforehand. I'm very flexible, and my object while sitting is to put your pet(s) first!

“Jessy was a great help to us in watching our old dog while we traveled for several days and we are so grateful for that she stayed at our place to keep our dog company. She is responsible, friendly, a good communicator, and great with dogs. Our dog is a bit high maintenance as she has aged and Jessy handled all of our notes and the dog's idiosyncrasies very well. We would highly recommend her to take care of any pets!”

“Wow Karen is great with animals. She is extremely friendly and patient when getting to meet new pets. Karen has two dogs of her own that she takes great care of and loves. I trust Karen with watching my dog Daisy, a pitbull mix, any day as I know Karen will keep Daisy safe and happy. Karen also loves to play with animals! All around she is great with animals and she is very passionate about their care!”
