“Jenn & Brian have become our go-to sitters, they are consistently wonderful! Life savers! The only time Luna pulls on her leash is when she realizes we pulled up to Jenn & Brian's place 😊 She is always so happy to be there!”

About: I have raised two dogs (one large bread and one small bread) both from puppy to 16 & 17yrs old. I have had three cats (one still residing with me). Currently I dog sit two fur babies since 2020. In a week I am losing one of my buddies due to his parents relocating. I am already missing him and am hoping to make some new walking and cuddling partners. I work part time on weekends but can sit with advanced notice. Monday til Wednesday I am available for anytime on shorter notice. When I have your furry sweetheart I do not leave them by themselves at all,so I like to schedule when there is nothing to conflict with the time I have them. When in my house they have no restrictions from me, only what the parent wants. I have an outside bathroom area on leash for quick bathroom trips. I like to go for at least one or two long walks per day, weather permitting and your dogs abilities. I live in a walkable neighborhood and close to parks. When at your house I will follow whatever routine your partner is used to.
About: I will take care of your best friend like they are mine! I’m very familiar with training puppies and taking medical care of the old little guys too. Administering medications is a breeze and wound care is something I can do with my eyes closed. We have a huge park behind us. I love a good walk/run with a doggo too. I will get on the floor and roll around with them too! I currently work part time so my schedule is pretty available. My husband works from home and is 100% open. We are also a team when it comes to pet care. I ask you bring your doggos favorite toys so that while inside, we are still entertained. There is a huge park behind us that allows ample space for walks/jogs/runs. Dogs will stay leashed at all times for safety. When they come back inside, Bella the cat will bathe them. She’s a 16 year old little lady who loves all animals. If you are bringing your cat, Bella will show them the biscuit factory and give them showers as well. All animals are treated like a family member; with love and respect. All needs will be fulfilled
“Melissa has a very caring way with my fur girl - she gets so excited when I pull up by her apartment! Make my heart feel good that she’s happy to see her! Thanks Melissa for your special care of her!”

About: Hi! I’m Sasha—a calm, attentive, and upbeat caregiver who adapts easily to each pet’s unique needs. I’m gentle and nurturing when animals need comfort, and energetic and playful when they’re ready for exercise and engagement. I work from home full-time and set my own schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular walks, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m an early riser (usually up by 6 a.m.) and love starting mornings with walks and fresh air before the day gets busy. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 16 years old, including my own family dog, and I take pride in creating a safe, calm, and welcoming environment. My apartment has a spacious, open layout with minimal clutter—perfect for pets to relax and move comfortably. I’m also surrounded by green spaces and walking areas in my neighborhood, making daily exercise easy and enjoyable. During the winter months, my home is always warm and cozy, ensuring your pet stays comfortable year-round. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, happiness, and routine while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! Dog sitting fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to plan my day around pets’ needs, including regular walks, potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I care for every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their safety, comfort, and routine. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on maintaining consistency with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions you provide.
“He’s a great person and a huge animal lover! Apollo loves him and loves playing with the other dogs. I highly recommend Jose for all your pet sitting needs, he’s the best!”

“Julia was so sweet and helped Finney feel right at home. She was attentive to all his needs and even sent me pictures and updates throughout the day to let me know how he was doing. I’m so happy she could help me out!”

“We appreciate Mindy's flexibility with our dog sitting needs while visiting Buffalo. She was friendly and communicative, too. Our dog seemed happy and relaxed in Mindy's home. Will be using Mindy's services again.”

“Kevin is great! We did meet and greet before Remy starts daycare. Can't express enough how lucky and thankful of Kevin, provides excellent care. His flexible and accommodating, we get updates how Remy's day went, communicates any concerns, and send photos throughout the day. Peace of mind. Remy is happy to see Kevin and Hoochou (Kevin's dog his Golden Retriver) full of energy, gentle and super friendly. Best combo Remy is older and Hoochou is younger balance. Thank you!”

“Alexis is a wonderful dog sitter. She is responsive and understanding of my dogs individual needs. He's an older boy and appreciates a good lap or couch for requent relaxation and Alexis is willing to provide that. This was our second time at doggy day care with Alexis and he rushed out of the car to visit her again!”

About: Hi! I'm Caitlin and I have worked with animals professionally for over 10 years in grooming, boarding, training and animal shelters. Now, I work remotely and spend my time with my 4 cats :) My specialty and preference is in cat care and senior dogs. However, I will consider all booking requests. I am currently not able to handle very energetic animals, or animals that are very strong. I am better suited to more relaxed pets. **Important** - I currently work a full time job from home and can be flexible with scheduling. I will work from your home if booked for house sitting, so it is required I have a reliable internet connection! - At this time I require m&gs for all house sitting services before bookings, to ensure our expectations meet and to make sure your pet is comfortable with me. For long term house sitting, I highly reccomend a trial run of 1 day of daycare or a drop in visit. I work from home full time so I am available during the workday when most people are away! I love being able to hangout with new friends during my work week. Safety is and always has been my top priority. I am proudly fear free certified and have worked on extensive safety training measures in all of my professional working environments.
“I received a constant stream of pictures of Sophie’s stay with Ruth and her wonderful family. I felt safe leaving my precious Service Dog in her hands for the the evening. Ruth’s caring and love for dogs is worth twice the price! I’m am totally bonded to Sophie, having been with her since she was 8 weeks old and trained with her from puppy school right through Service Dog work, every step of the way. We’ve never been apart more then 4 hours. Sophie loved here little mini-vacation at Ruth’s house. If the need arises again when I’m in town I definitely will contact Ruth to watch my girl for me!”

“Laura was amazing with my off the wall super energetic 3 month old springer spaniel puppy!! She is a super experienced trainer and was amazing at providing a balance between structure/close monitoring for safety and a lot of fun play time for my girl. She sent a lot of updates and advice that was very helpful for our training as well! Laura went above and beyond and even gave me tons of training tips outside of the visit because my pup is very difficult and has been struggling with separation anxiety. Best value out of a Rover stay I’ve ever gotten!”

About: I have had and cared for dogs since I was 5 years old. I just recently lost my elderly dog that I took care of for many years and through the end of his life. I have lived with up to 5 dogs in the house and can handle the chaos of multiple dogs and the high energy of puppies. I have lived in Chicago for the past 3 years and am familiar with the local dog parks. I am currently a fourth year medical student at Rush and am interviewing for residency currently. I am very empathetic and conscientious dog lover and hope to help you with all of your dog care needs. If you have any questions please reach out to me. I am currently interviewing for residency positions and have a lot of availability in my schedule, with most of my activities ending by noon or early afternoon. I defer to my clients for the needs of each and every pet that I take care of. I am able to crate train and take care of dogs with special needs.
About: We’ve had dogs our whole lives, from puppies to seniors, and always treated them as part of our family. We’ve had many different breeds and all different sizes. We’ve always done basic training for their safety! I work from home so I’ll be with your pet all day! In the afternoons and evenings the rest of the family will be home to love on your dogs! We have a fully fenced backyard and a house set up to keep animals safe, comfortable, and happy. Your dog’s comfort and safety will be a priority!
“Priya and her family were so good to Koda. He loved spending time with them! She gave us updates throughout the day- great communication overall. I’d definitely have her watch Koda again. He was so happy with her. :)”

“We were just passing through on a road trip and landed tickets to see the Bills play so this was a last minute book. Sierra was wonderful with our Bella who has separation anxiety. She took it slow with Bella and soon Sierra had her eating (she has NEVER eaten a meal when we are not there with her), going for walks, and napping. I can tell Sierra was great with Bella because she was happy when we picked her up and went right to sleep when we got home.”

Ariel was absolutely wonderful with my 4.5-year-old lab over the weekend! She was attentive, caring, and made sure my pup felt right at home. I got regular updates, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My lab came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It’s clear Ariel truly cares about the dogs she looks after. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving care for their pets !

Mindy provided day care for my aunt's dog, Sassy, while we visited Niagara Falls from Arkansas. Sassy had never been under someone else's care and my aunt was nervous about leaving her with a "stranger". But Mindy was wonderful and allowed us to come for a 'meet and greet' when we arrived in town the day before our booking. My aunt was still nervous about leaving her the next day because Sassy, being a Maltipoo, has separation anxiety. But Mindy knew taking Sassy for a walk right after we left would be a good distraction. She was also wonderful about sending pictures and videos especially that first day and that made us feel better about leaving her. By the second day Sassy was comfortable going straight to Mindy when we arrived. Also, she was very flexible regarding drop off and pick up times.

Very close to Buffalo hospitals. I had a procedure done and Mitchell and his pup, Leopold provided excellent accommodations for my pup, Finnegan. He was excellent at communicating and sending pictures. Finnegan seemed happy and well taken care of. Thank you Mitchell, you put my mind at ease.
