Kat is honestly the only person we trust with our pup. She’s caring, considerate, and very respectful. She always finds a way to leave our house cleaner than when we left it. Whenever we leave our dog with Kat, it’s immediate peace of mind. She’s the best!

About: Hola! I’m Barbara—an economic justice advocate, Red Cross volunteer, and total bonafide Dog Mom. I grew up surrounded by German Shepherds, but as an adult, I fell in love with the little ones—starting with my very first Shih Tzu, who looked more like an Ewok than a dire wolf! For over 20 years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve walked and cared for cats and dogs of all ages and sizes, from playful puppies to seniors needing a little extra TLC. In 2020, my life changed when I adopted a special-needs Shih Tzu named Chewy, who has a rare condition called Megaesophagus and eats upright in a “Bailey chair.” Chewy’s thriving journey has been such a gift—and we’ve shared it with a supportive community through his Instagram Now that Chewy is doing great, we’ve been hosting more furry friends and officially joined Rover to offer personalized, loving care to other pets—especially small to medium dogs. I work remotely, so I’m home most of the day and love having a companion to walk, cuddle, and care for. ✅ We only care for one household’s pets at a time—so your dog(s) will get all the attention ✅ Calm, flexible, and experienced with both healthy pets and those with medical or mobility needs ✅ Fully covered with Pet Sitter Insurance for your peace of mind ✅ Let’s set up a Meet & Greet to see if we’re the right fit! Whether you’re going out of town or just need a reliable sitter, Chewy and I are ready to make your dog feel right at home. I work from home full-time, which means your furry little one will get plenty of attention throughout the day. I have the flexibility to take them on walks, enjoy playtime like fetch or tug-of-war, and give them the love and companionship they need—whether it’s a quick potty break or a full day of care. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow any instructions you provide closely—feeding schedules, medications, preferred routines, and behavior notes are all part of the care plan. I also keep your pet's environment calm, clean, and cozy, just like you'd want it to be. In my home, I care for only one household’s pets at a time to make sure your dog gets plenty of one-on-one attention. I supervise all outdoor time and never allow off-leash play unless in a securely fenced area. I also have Pet Sitter Insurance for added peace of mind. If I’m visiting your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I give your pet—double-checking doors, cleaning up, and keeping things tidy and secure. And if anything seems off while you're away, I’ll keep you informed right away.

The experience with Diane was great! We will not hesitate to book with her again. She recently stayed for 4 nights with our 90-lb German Shepherd Dog. Being so comfortable with Diane made being away so much more enjoyable and relaxing. Diane sent multiple videos throughout each day to reassure us that our boy was getting exercise and having a good time. In addition, she took great care in the house. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. 5 Stars!!

Yesenia is so knowledgeable and attentive. Our cat was scared of fireworks so she made him a fort using a chair and a blanket; she also won over our rescue lab, who is wary of anything and anyone new. In addition to seemingly being a natural with animals, Yesenia is a pleasure to work with and provides lots of updates to pet parents. 100% will be using her again!

Samantha was marvelous! I’m always nervous leaving my 9yo wheaten terrier, as she’s been known to get kind of cranky and snarly around other dogs. However, Samantha assured me she felt comfortable with my high-maintenance fuzzy friend. She sent regular photos and updates throughout my week-long trip, and always responded quickly whenever I’d reach out. My place was very clean when I returned and, most importantly, my dog seemed happy and relaxed. I’ll definitely reach out to Samantha again for upcoming trips!

Lifesaver!! Due to some emergency travel issues, we needed Gianni just stay with our dog for an extra night. This was during horrible storms in Chicago. She acted quickly, changed her plans and was able to stay another night with our dog. Cannot thank her enough.

Maniyah did an amazing job caring for my Yorkie, Major, while I was away. From the very beginning, she was professional, communicative, patient, and genuinely caring. Major is very emotionally attached to me and normally takes time warming up to people, but he became extremely comfortable with her throughout the stay, which gave me a huge sense of peace while traveling. She consistently kept me updated with messages, photos, and videos, which I truly appreciated. I could tell Major was receiving attention, love, playtime, and comfort while I was gone. She also followed his routines closely and treated both Major and my home with care and respect. Overall, Maniyah made this entire experience smooth and stress-free for me. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, compassionate, and reliable to care for their pet. Thank you again for taking such great care of my little guy!

Vanessa is amazing. I just adopted a rescue two days prior and had separation anxiety, as did I. She also had a seizure condition si so it was so comforting to have someone who knew what was had to be done in case of an emergency. Vanessa put Olivia at ease. She sent me pictures throughout the night. Olivia even followed her to the door when sheleft. She asked such good questions at the start of the night about the emergency syringe and ER if needed. Feel so grateful for her. Highly recommend!

From the beginning when we connected with Ernesto & he agreed to house sit for Marx & we met him I felt secure in choosing him. He's a very responsible sitter who took care of Marx in a way that I appreciate. Marx grew attached & trusted him. The photos & videos helped in making me feel secure my doggy Marx was being cared for. I would certainly have him as a house sitter in the future if needed & highly recommend him to anyone who needs a wonderful sitter for your pet.
