“Tiffany did a wonderful job taking care of my anxious dog Churro! My house was spotless when I got home and she sent regular photos and updates, and handled his medication schedule too. He was happy and well cared for all week. Churro and I look forward to working with Tiffany again!”
“Andrew did a great job with updating us on how our pets were doing. Kratos seemed to enjoy his company. Overall very satisfied with his care and Andrew went above and beyond what we asked of him.”
“Emily was incredible. She didn’t just watch my dog, she cared for him like he was her own and treated my home with the same thoughtfulness and respect. From the moment they met, my dog was instantly comfortable with her. She played with him, took him on walks and runs, and gave him all the snuggles and attention he could possibly want. She sent tons of photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. But what really made her stand out is how considerate she was with my home. Everything was spotless when I returned, and she even stayed until I got back so he didn’t have to be alone. I walked into a sweet welcome note and fresh flowers, such a thoughtful touch and a truly warm homecoming. I cannot recommend Emily highly enough. She is attentive, trustworthy, incredibly kind, and clearly loves what she does. I’d book her again in a heartbeat!.”
“Keeley took such great care of Finn and really helped ease my worries about leaving him alone for the weekend. We actually got home a little early and had the chance to spend some time chatting with her before she left, which was so nice. Finn absolutely adored her and was genuinely sad to see her go. We would definitely trust her with him again!”
“Iwona and her husband did a wonderful job taking care of my diabetic pug. He requires daily insulin and eye meds, and they were careful about following the instructions perfectly. They kept me up to date, sent pics, and left my place clean. I highly recommend and trust them.”
About: Hi there! My name is Nicky (he/they) and I’ve been taking care of pets for my neighbors, friends, and family members for upwards of a decade and am commonly regarded as the go-to sitter in my community. I strive to treat every pet (and owner) with the utmost respect and kindness, and I’ll follow your instructions to a T! (The T stands for toe beans 🤓) Currently unemployed due to layoffs in my industry, so I’ll be able to give your fur bestie as much attention as possible! I can do overnights, multiple nights in a row, or just a drop-in/walk; whatever you need - I got you! :) I have a fenced yard in front of my apartment complex so your fur bestie can run free and tire themselves out before beddybye! I can crate your pup if you provide one or they can get some shut-eye on the couch or wherever they’re comfy!
“I was terrified about finding someone to watch my little Velcro baby. But Rebeca put me at ease. Her communication with me and love she gave my baby is beyond what I could have expected. I am so happy to have book with Rebeca and next time I am in Chicagoland I will definitely book with her again! Thank you Rebeca!!!”
“Vasilisa looked after our 11 month old puppy ‘Happy’—and was just perfect! She really tuned into our pup’s energy and managed her routine like a champ. It was Happys first time being away from us and Vasilisa could not have been kinder or more patient. Thank you V!!!!”
“Katherine was fantastic with my dog! She was attentive, communicative, asked great questions to figure out what was needed, and followed through on everything. She also went above and beyond on providing updates and taking care of my place while sitting the dog. I'd be happy to book with her again!”
“This was my second booking with Ismy and Corey, and once again, they were absolutely fantastic! They took exceptional care of my cat, Fox Fox, and kept me updated throughout their stay. It’s clear that they truly care about Fox Fox’s well-being, and their attention to detail is top-notch. They even left the place spotless and made sure Fox Fox was comfortable before they left. I highly recommend Ismy and Corey to anyone in need of reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitters. I’ll definitely be booking them again in the future! Fox Fox will miss them until next time!”
“Renee was wonderful with our 4 pets! She house sat for us for a few days and followed all of our instructions. Everything went so smoothly. She was very considerate and was not afraid to ask questions during her stay, which I prefer. She went above and beyond taking our dogs on super long walks (which she def didn’t have to, esp in the winter weather!). I am thankful to have had Renee taking care of our animals and will def rebook in the future!”
“Sade was a great sitter for our dog and cat! We felt at ease the whole time we were away. Sade sent daily photos and updates and was easy to communicate with. We came home to happy pets and a very clean apartment. We’d definitely have Sade sit for our dog and cat again!”
“Mads did such a great job of caring for my apartment and my skittish, chatty cat while I was on a week-long trip out of the country! They were super diligent and consistent in sending me updates and photos of my cat, and they were able to accommodate my rather complicated pet feeding and house plant watering schedule. It was such a relief to come home after a roughly twelve hour flight to find my space in perfect shape and my cat fed and happy! I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them!”
“We came home to two happy and relaxed dogs thanks to Adam! He’s truly amazing and has definitely become a part of our family. I’ll be booking him for all our future stays without a doubt. Highly recommend!”
“Claude took care of my bernese mountain dog Glen Coco in my home while I was away on vacation, and they were an incredible caretaker for my girl. Glen Coco can be nervous with new people and hasn’t stayed with a non-relative in over 5 years, but she warmed up to Claude immediately at our meet-and-greet, and from the photos they sent, it was very obvious that Glen Coco was super happy and comfortable during the entire stay. Claude was very thorough in their communication and provided lots of great updates during my week away. They went above and beyond in their care for Glen Coco, spent lots of time loving on her, and made sure any issues were addressed promptly. They were also super respectful of my space and left my home in great condition. I will happily book them again for future stays!”
“My pups fell in love with Joseph. He took great care of both dogs and sent photos and videos of them to me. I also appreciate having such peace of mind while I was away.”
“Joanna was amazing. My pups loved her and she went above and beyond to care for them. I felt rest assured they were in good hands while I was out of town. I highly recommend her and I will be having her come again in the future.”

Madeline was fantastic! Our dog was immediately smitten with her. Not only was Madeline attentive to all of the instructions I shared with her, but she was also flexible when it came to scheduling, since we didn’t know how long we’d be gone for. I’d highly recommend Madeline as a responsible, dependable, and caring sitter for your pets!

Kelso was absolutely incredible taking care of my doggo child who can be a handful, I completely felt at ease with my dog son in her care! She kindly gave me updates, pics, video, and even got him his first pup cup which he loved! She administered his AM & PM meds without missing any, gave him his special meals, and was able to handle his dog reactivity on walks & keep my boy safe & other dogs safe as well. Cookie was even sad to see her go as he made a new bff, and he’s a picky lil guy. She’s super easy going and down to earth, I will definitely be rebooking the next time I need a doggo sitter & will be recommending for any friends who need dog sitters too!! 🙏🙌👌💖💖💖💖💖🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🐶☺️🤩
Emily is terrific! She is a true animal lover and pays close attention to my dog, making her feel comfortable and happy. Emily also took great care of our plants and house while we were on vacation. I highly recommend her. She will be your pet’s next best friend!
Afya did a great job taking care of our two cats. One of them takes medication and we were also having issues with bullying and resource guarding so she had to be particular attentive. She worked hard at bonding with them and kept them busy with playing and enrichment. We came home to two very relaxed and happy kitties which has not always been the case with other sitters. Her experience fostering kittens at Paws and Claws that I saw on her Rover profile gave me confidence in her skills as they have a high standard of care for their cats. She’s a cat whisperer! Thanks so much Afya!
Rosy and Josh were excellent house sitters. They were great communicators with frequent updates on how Izzy was doing. They definitely gave her lots of love and attention while we were out of town. We could tell when we got back home that she was very comfortable with them and had a good time. We will definitely be asking them to house sit again for us. Thanks!
Highly recommend Raquel! She took great care of my dog for 6 days while we were out of town. My preference is to have someone come to our house but not necessarily stay overnight. Raquel stuck to the schedule and made sure Arlo had plenty of play time. We came home to a happy pup!
