“Tracy is the best! We could not have found someone more responsible, kind and loving for our Coco. We never worry when Tracy is at our home, and we can rely on her 110% of the time to take care of Coco and keep her company. We would recommend Tracy to anyone who is looking for a walker/sitter! Simply the best!”

“Daniela was amazing as usual! She does a great job exercising our pups, follows instructions well and takes amazing care of them. They really seem to like her and we will definitely be using her as our go-to from now on!”


About: I have been around dogs since I was 5, as my best friend had dogs growing up. I worked at a doggie daycare, so I am comfortable walking and taking care of dogs. I am free in the mornings and early afternoon. I am an actress who has rehearsal at nights. I also have my own pets to take care of, so I won’t be out all day. I will respect the clients home and ensure to keep it clean/not move things around on them. I know how I would like to be treated with my home, and I will do the same for them.
“Taylor was very responsive and helpful, keeping me posted on changes, updates, and how my pets were responding to her in our absence. I would absolutely use her again on future trips, she was very warm and pleasant, and flexible, when we needed, including changing visits, or pick up times, And that flexibility allowed us to have an amazing family vacation. Thanks Taylor for all you do!”

“Taylor provided daily care for my 2 cats while we were on vacation. The care was outstanding with feeding cleaning and cat interaction sending daily updates . I would use Taylor again and would highly recommend her . Thank you Taylor”

About: I have my own bull mastiff, trained him myself. Sit, stay, pray, paw, lay down, and he doesn’t pull on the leash and taught him how to “go home”. I’ve been around dogs my entire life as I have had a few and my mom has been on rover for 10 years dog sitting. I am a College student with primarily online classes so my schedule is flexible. I am not on campus, and am currently at home in Rolling Meadows. I care for pets in my own home as if they were my own. Very responsible college athlete, just finished my 3rd year of basketball and will graduate with my bachelors in May. Mindful of other peoples property and environments.
“Heather has many 5 star reviews and I am leaving another one. She is friendly, personable and conscientious and that’s with people. My dogs consider her their new BFF! Calming with my reactive dog and doting on my needy over thinking dog - I came home to some very happy poochies. If you are looking for someone who is trustworthy with excellent communication skills (text updates and cute pics) Heather is a definite go to pet sitter. Highly recommend.”

“Kaylee did a great job. Very communicative and flexible when there was issues with our garage door opener while we were away. Glad to have her able to check in on our dog while we were away for a trip.”

“We love that we can count on Grace to take such great care of our dog Bucky. She is responsible, reliable, great with communication, and goes above and beyond to make sure Bucky is taken care of before leaving. Thanks again Grace!”


About: I have been around pets my whole life and know how to read their body language. I am respectful if they need space and let them warm up to me. My family had large dogs and cats growing up that I helped care for and train. I helped care for 3 litters of puppies and I trained the puppies we kept. I also had a cat who was spoiled with love and lots of playtime. I work at a school and don't work during the summer, so I am very flexible. During the school year my availability will be afternoons/evenings on weekdays. I love cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I will love your pet like my own! I truly enjoy taking care of cats and dogs and giving them lots of play and affection. I always respect their space if they are afraid, but I am skilled at earning their trust and helping them warm up to me.
“Deepthi was great at watching my cat! She did everything I asked and had great communication. Cat seemed very happy and healthy when I returned home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”

“Jessica did such a wonderful job with our Shephard/Lab mix, Tia! Tia warmed up to her immediately when we did our meet & greet before booking... I could tell I could trust Jessica to take great care of her while we were away. Jessica was prompt in her arrival times for our scheduled drop ins, uploaded photos and notes on her visits in the app so we could see how things were going. I'm so thankful we found someone we can rely on and will definitely be booking Jessica again! Thank you, Jessica!”

“Maite was absolutely wonderful! She watched our two dogs (pitbull and chihuhua/pug) while we were away. She had great communication and sent videos and so many photos of our pups! I loved seeing them happy and could tell they were being well taken care of. Maite is very sweet and caring. We will definitely be reaching out to her again to watch our dogs!!!”
