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.

My Dog Dottie loved Ava! Dottie has tons of energy and Ava spoiled her with long walks and lots of dog park trips. I felt so relieved that my pup was in great hands. Ava sent lots of pictures and updates and left the house nicer than she found it. The best! Already booking her again

Travis is a fantastic pet sitter. He watched my puppy, my bigger, older dog, and my cat while I was in Detroit for a weekend getaway. This is my second time using Rover as my first time did not go well and now I usually am too afraid to trust anyone else with my animals. I was kept updated (but not too much) and I can tell by their mannerisms that they were well cared for. I am planning on using Travis’s services again later this summer when I’ll be gone for ten days. He is a kind, empathetic, and considerate pet sitter.

About: I've raised and trained two dogs from the ground up-meaning I've cleaned up accidents at 3AM, taught "sit" a hundred times, and celebrated every little win like it was graduation day. I know how much love, patience, and consistency it takes, especially with puppies. I treat every dog like my own- with calm, energy, structure, and tons of love. Even on my busiest days, my pets get taken care of before I do. That's just how I move. Making animals feel safe, loved, and seen is part of my everyday routine-and it never feels like work to me. Its natural. When I care for pets- mine or someone else's- I make sure they're clean, fed, and happy. I give them plenty of attention and play time. I even sit with them while they eat to comfort them and help prevent food aggression. I show up for them no matter. They know when they're loved- and I make sure they feel that.

Very happy with Daniela as a pet/house sitter while we were overseas for 2-weeks. We don’t speak a common language, but my pets don’t speak English or Spanish either, so I wasn’t gonna let a language barrier be the sole reason to not hire someone. We used an audio translator app during the meet & greet, and most apps/ txt auto translate. I did provide an emergency contact of a bi-lingual friend. Thankfully we didn’t need to involve her. At the meet & greet, we practice giving my anxious cat’s oral tablet medication with dry kibble, and she was pretty good at it within a couple tries. Reassured me she would be able to administer when we’re gone. She sent regular photos/updates of our pets which always makes us happy and comfortable while traveling. We even had some HVAC issues while we were away, and Daniela was a trooper the whole time. Twice she helped coordinate a technician coming to the house since we couldn’t be there. She left the house very clean, trash taken out, bed made. Brought all our mail in. Watered the few plants we asked. Etc. I hope she’s available next time we travel. Thank you!

She came into my home and not only took care of Lela but played with her outside. I got updates, because I was the one feeling anxious. I will continue to use Sara for future sittings.

About: I have taken care of many different personalities of cats and small dogs since I was growing up. I appreciate their character and would love to meet your family pet. I work from home, also flex, so I would be able to pop in during the morning, lunch and afternoon if need be. I am flexible to the needs of your family and believe in clear communication. I would appreciate a quick meeting with you and your fur baby so I can see how you would like everything provided. It can be as detailed as you like, I take diligent notes to ensure everything per your standards.

About: Hi there! I’m Danae, your friendly neighborhood pet sitter! 🐶🐱🐾 Looking for someone who treats your pet like family? Look no more, that’s me. Whether your pet is a nap-loving cuddle machine or a playful tornado, I’ve got the energy and patience to match. I’m here to give your furry family member the best time ever from belly rubs and cuddles to play time and walks outside in the fresh air. I’m all about the pets living their best life with comfort and fun. I have experience caring for pups, kittens, adults, senior fur babies, and have cared for pet pairs and multiple siblings at the same time. Whether it’s a simple check-in or an overnight stay, I tailor every visit to your pet’s vibe, paying close attention to their unique personalities, routines, and needs. Whether your pet loves playing fetch or prefers watching birds from a window I bring positive energy, compassion, and a whole lot of joy to every pet I care for. My approach is nurturing, patient, fun, and detail-oriented. I provide reliable care with daily updates, adorable pet pics, and clear communication so you can feel stress-free, confident, and connected while you’re away. I'm committed to making sure that you and your fur baby have the best experience ever, and I look forward to meeting you both! I am self-employed, so I am super flexible and will have plenty of time to care for your fur baby, whether it's daily check-ins or overnight stays. I am available to book 7 days a week. When your pet is in my care, their safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my top priorities. I take time to earn your pet’s trust—never rushing interactions, always moving at their pace. Home Safety I make sure doors, gates, and entry points are secured at all times, and I monitor your pet closely during walks or outdoor time. For pets with special needs, medications, or dietary requirements, I follow instructions carefully and communicate openly so nothing is missed. Aggressive or Violent Behavior The safety of all pets, people, and myself is my top priority. For this reason, I am unable to accept pets that display aggressive, violent, or unsafe behavior, including biting, lunging, or other threatening actions toward humans or other animals. Health & Parasites As protection for health and safety, all pets must be: • Free from fleas, ticks, mites, and have no contagious illnesses • Current on vaccinations (or have valid titer test documentation) Harness & Leash Safety For the safety of your pet, other animals, and the public, I require that all dogs be provided with a secure, well-fitted, and durable harness and leash for walks. You’ll always be kept in the loop with regular updates and photos, because trust goes both ways. My goal is for you to feel confident, and for your pet to feel calm, loved, and completely cared for until you return.

About: I’m really a dog lover and have always been around them. They’re kids honestly. Imagine a different one per day that’s amazing to me ! Recently moved to Illinois where I now work for Alter Domus, an investment firm in Downtown Chicago and it’s work from home. I have all the time in the world to watch them !! Love them and it’s definitely therapy to me also. Continuing what I started in Ohio with Rover here ! My neighborhood is full of dogs and grass for them to walk. It’s away from danger and quiet, there might be a friend outside too.

About: Hello! I work remotely, therefore I am always home. Your dog will not be left unattended. I also have a flexible cancellation policy. I know life can be crazy! I am the ultimate dog lover and will treat your dog like family. I keep my dog healthy with lots of snuggles and daily walks. Your dog will receive that same care that my Fur baby receives. I can also accommodate more than one pet; the more the merrier. You can call any time to check on your baby. I am always available to talk. I have a big fenced yard and a cozy home. Your dog will always be welcomed on my lap and couch. ❤️ Since I work from home full time I have lots of time to hang out with the dogs in my yard. They are like my little coworkers! I usually take the dogs on 2 walks a day but if you have a preference on more or less, I can do that. How do I ensure your dog is safe during their visit? I have a small friendly chihuahua. He loves making new friends and sharing his toys. My yard is treated monthly for fleas and ticks (All pet friendly treatments). The yard is secure with a tall fence and no gaps. My dog is up to date with his vaccines. Please let me know if your furbaby has a set schedule if not they will follow our routine. They get plenty of supervised play time and potty breaks throughout the day. I regularly vacuum and mop my house. All furniture also gets vacuumed daily. I use pet friendly flea prevention methods inside and outside my house. We get our house and yard professionally treated to avoid ticks and fleas. But I ask that you also keep your pet on flea preventatives. All dogs that come in must be vaccinated. Please do not bring your pup if they are showing any symptoms. (Runny stools, coughing, runny nose)

Lupe has watched my pets over the past couple of years. I can always count on her to take care of my pets well in my home. My cats could be a bit shy with strangers but they were able to warm up to Lupe fast. They feel at home when she takes care of them, which is a relief when I am away. In addition, she keeps me updated daily with pictures and any important info every time. I highly recommend her ❤️

Danae was amazing with my 12 chihuahuas—kind, playful, and reliable. She kept great communication, was very affordable, and I highly recommend her pet-sitting services!! You won't be disappointed.

About: I’m really a dog lover and have always been around them. They’re kids honestly. Imagine a different one per day that’s amazing to me ! Recently moved to Illinois where I now work for Alter Domus, an investment firm in Downtown Chicago and it’s work from home. I have all the time in the world to watch them !! Love them and it’s definitely therapy to me also. Continuing what I started in Ohio with Rover here ! My neighborhood is full of dogs and grass for them to walk. It’s away from danger and quiet, there might be a friend outside too.

Christine S is one of few individuals that I can honestly say is the very epitome of kindness. She is also the only person I trust with watching my dog when I need someone to. The relationship she has with her dog, chocolatè, can only be described as a motherly loving relationship. The bonds she builds with both people and animals are both amazing and a mystery. I believe the bonds she builds with both pets and people is a trait, all owners of pets, including myself, should aspire to obtain and develop.
