I cannot say enough about my experience with Beth and her husband and their home, little dog and cats. I felt so at ease around their kindness. The best part is that my dog was more vibrant and playful after two days with them. They were keen to follow instructions and just be a loving presence for Zushi. That’s what we needed most! I will be booking with them again. And highly recommend them.

I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my dog, Bucky, to Evelyn R., and I can't express enough how fantastic the experience was! From the moment I met her, it was clear that she had a genuine love for animals and an exceptional nurturing spirit. Her home was welcoming and safe, with a perfect setup for pets. Bucky came home happy and healthy, and I could tell he had a wonderful time. I highly recommend Evelyn R. for anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog sitter. Thank you for giving Bucky such a remarkable experience! I will definitely be booking her services again in the near future!

About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life. I also know how important it is to be able to leave my pets with someone who is caring, kind, and safe. Pets are family but sometimes we need to leave them with sitter. I will care for the pups I care for as my own. I have a fenced yard where they can play. Arlington Park a few blocks away for walks. I am recently retired RN. I wake looking forward to care for my two small dogs and am available to open our home to another small dog. I keep my boarding to a single dog or will care for two from same home. I have a complete fenced yard and will be able to crate dog if necessary. Constant care. Never leave them outside by themselves. My dogs are allowed on furniture and sleep with me. The visiting dog will be able to as well if ok with owner.

Lisa and Matt are amazing people! Their love for animals is immense and instantly obvious. They are so warm-hearted, detail oriented, loving, and communicative. Our golden retriever has epilepsy and requires a special regimen of (a lot of) medication. They set alarms to ensure his medication was administered on time, provided updates about his behavior and food/water intake, sent pictures of him, and made us feel so at ease. It is hard to find and trust quality pet sitters in general, but especially when your fur baby has special needs. We would 1000% recommend Lisa and Matt to anyone looking for quality care. Leo can’t wait to go back and spend time with their family and pets 🐾🖤 thank you Lisa and Matt!

About: I may be new to Rover, but I’ve been running a “private flight crew” for dogs in my apartment community for the last three years. Now that we’ve moved into a home with a yard, I’m able to expand my guest list and offer more First-Class stays. I specialize in creating a calm, boutique boarding experience with small groups, gentle structure, and tons of personal attention. My background is in real, in-home care for dogs of all personalities — seniors, shy pups, social butterflies, and everything in between — and I focus on safe introductions, cozy routines, and individualized care so every pup feels secure and completely at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine — it’s part of my everyday “flight plan.” I work from home and stay hands-on throughout the day, so the pups enjoy consistent attention, yard time, play, treats, and snuggles. My husband, Riley, is also a co-pilot in our little operation, and for reasons unknown, every pup decides he’s their instant favorite — I’ve accepted it. Together we keep a calm, steady rhythm with morning potty breaks, midday activity, afternoon naps, and evening walks or yard zoomies. Because we only host a small number of dogs at a time, each pup gets the time, structure, and companionship they need to feel completely comfortable and cared for. When pups stay in our home, they live right alongside us — part of the household, never tucked away or left alone in a separate space. I tailor each dog’s care to match their routine and personality: slow introductions for shy pups, structured play for energetic guests, cozy rest areas for nappers, and plenty of enrichment throughout the day. I supervise all interactions to keep the environment peaceful and positive, and I follow your feeding, medication, and comfort instructions exactly as you share them. Riley is also involved in the day-to-day care (and yes, he somehow becomes everyone’s favorite within minutes). With only a small number of dogs at a time, we’re able to give each pup thoughtful, individualized attention and create a safe, familiar, truly home-like experience.

About: Hi, I am Nick, I’m a dedicated pet care professional with years of hands-on experience working with dogs and cats of all breeds and temperaments. As a kid, I worked at a Labrador retriever kennel, where I learned the basics of caring for all stages of life from puppy to adult. At home growing up, we trained guide Brittanys who were loyal and playful family dogs and a staple in my life. In college, I adopted a redbone coonhound who familiarized myself with building and maintaining a daily structure and routine as well as tending to his needs for enrichment and stimulation. Over the years, I’ve cared for many different breeds as well as plenty of cats with big personalities. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their routines consistent. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or giving medication, I make sure every animal gets the attention and respect they deserve. My goal is simple: treat every pet like family and give owners peace of mind knowing their companions are in good hands. Oh and lots of pictures :) I can accommodate your schedule through out the week and am completely flexible as I work from home with only one part time shift 10-2pm on Saturdays. I keep leashes secure, check gates and doors before walks, and maintain calm energy to help animals feel safe. You’ll receive clear updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s an older cat or a high energy retriever, I prioritize their safety and happiness first.
