“Ava was wonderful with our 3 pups. She knew how to manage their chaos and treated them so sweetly. She left the place looking great and really just went above and beyond. We will definitely be using her services again.”

“Jayden watched my 2 big dogs and cat for a week at my house. They provided frequent updates and administered meds and made sure my picky animals were all well fed. We returned home to a cleaner house than we left it. They were wonderful and I’m so grateful for their care!”
“Evan was terrific - great with the dogs, good communicator, and he left the house in wonderful condition. We booked him at the last minute and would definitely book him again. Highly recommended.”

“Alexa was a very thoughtful, thorough, and kind sitter. She followed all the house rules and Nala rules. She left our home better than when we came back. We will definitely hire her again.”

“Mia is a wonderful dog sitter! Charlie and Cooper had a great time with her while we were out of town and she was very communicative with a check in and pictures every day.”

“Claire was fantastic. From the moment we met her, she was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took exceptional care of my anxious dog, Balu, and we were so relieved to come home to a relaxed, happy dog. Claire kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She stayed in our home and left everything spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if she’s available.”
“Jasmine was amazing! She showed great compassion toward our pups and responsiveness to our concerns. One of dogs had GI symptoms from the start of her visit. Jasmine monitored closely and took our pup to the emergency vet for us (the pup is fine 😊)… this was an unexpected snag that took a lot of time and care. But Jasmine did it willingly and kept us informed throughout. We will definitely hire her again!!! (Oh! And she did a great job taking care of the house too!)”

“Manuela and Tomás are very friendly and warm people. They both are experienced dogsitters and ask the right questions, so you can leave your pup with them with peace of mind. They are respectful with your home. Can only highly recommend.”

“Quinn was fantastic. She was very responsible, and our dog, who can be a lot of work, loved her. She stayed with our dog at our home and was very neat and responsible. I highly recommend her!”

“Nicole is so sweet and communicative! She was quick to respond from the first message I sent her inquiring about her availability. She took good care of our pups and would be happy to have her watch our girls again!”
About: I currently do not have a dog but my family do we have 3 dogs and just had puppies not too long ago that I potty trained. I have worked with the dogs in my house to make them calm. I do not work everyday and have alternative schedules, I go to the park daily and would love to have your dog come with me. I am very good with leash traing, and have taken the dogs or family members to parks many times I insure that no harm comes to dogs.
About: As a dog owner you should pick someone to care for your dog who has experience and loves dogs. Well, that care giver is me. Dogs are super energetic and absolutely loyal and that's what I love most about them. Trying to tire out a dog is fun because they're always ready for a game of fetch. If you choose me to care for your dogs you'll be receiving absolute professional service and a great experience for your dog. I have experience in walking, providing medication, and feeding dogs. Hopefully you pick me to care for your loving, four-legged friends. I work from home full-time so I am available for early morning, afternoon, and evening drop offs most week days and weekends as well. We can arrange a drop off on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays after 6pm. I have a cat already but they don’t require much attention. I have a big fenced back yard for your fur babies to run around. If you bring the crate I can easily crate them. I have a great neighborhood for dog walking.
“Nicole was wonderful! She messaged me everyday on how my dog and cat were doing with pictures or videos. She stayed for like 10 days in our home with them so we are very grateful!”

About: Hi! My name is Bipasha, and I’m currently a first-year med student here in Chicago. I miss my dog, Cody, so very much and would love to spend some time with your dog(s)! I am available for both dog sitting and dog walking. I am doing work remotely from June to August and have plenty of time and flexibility to help with pet care in the Chicago area. I currently live in an apartment so can only take care of pets in the owner’s home. I am very clean and reliable, and will be sure to take great care of your home and pet!
About: It’s all about honoring the autonomy of each animal when building a bond plus providing them a safe and nurturing place to live and be while away from home. I am a Full-Time PET SITTER in Chicago running a cat sanctuary where our pet guests become a member of a loving family right away. We provide a healthy and safe space where pets are always free to roam plus enjoy the amenities of individual cat houses, window gazing, and human play.
“Annie watched our French Bulldog, Fiona, for 7 days. It was also a holiday weekend which is a big deal. She did a great job with Fiona! She would send pictures and Fiona looked like she was in her element at home. I felt so comfortable with Annie taking care of Fiona that I didn't feel the need to check in constantly (which is a big thing for me). She also left the apartment just as clean as we had left it! She was great!”
“Right off the bat I got an excellent first impression of Nikki. She is very warm and friendly. She approached my cat slowly, allowing the greeting to be on my cat’s terms. It showed me she understood cats. During the stay she sent pictures and updates which put me at ease. Nikki was extremely flexible with booking times. When I got home my linens and towels were clean which was not requested or expected. She really above and beyond! She’s now my go-to gal! If you’re looking for someone kind, communicative and great with animals… well, look no further!”

South Shore pet parents share their Rover experiences
Rahmya was amazing! She was very flexible in setting up a meet and greet and instantly prioritized befriend Stormie. I got lots of updates and update pictures daily of stormie which made the whole process of being out of town much easier. I never felt like Stormie wasn't in good hands. The home was clean and perfectly tidy when we arrived back, which was so appreciated when returning from our trip. I would 100% recommend Rahmya for anyone looking for a pet sitter 💙

Claire was fantastic. From the moment we met her, she was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took exceptional care of my anxious dog, Balu, and we were so relieved to come home to a relaxed, happy dog. Claire kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She stayed in our home and left everything spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if she’s available.
Mia was incredible with my cat Stormie! We were able to quickly schedule a meet and greet for her to meet Stormie and I could already tell she genuinely cared. She asked questions about feeding, whether Stormie likes to sleep in the bed, daily routine, and took notes when I explained some food changes due to Stormie's sensitive stomach. It is VERY clear she does truly love and care for animals. We had Mia watch Stormie for the weekend and came back to the apartment being clean, litterboxes were empty and freshly cleaned, etc. Mia sent regular updates as well with photos and videos of Stormie so I knew that everything was going smoothly. She also sent messages regularly about how they were playing with toys, how Stormie was doing, etc. I 100% will book with Mia again as I truly never felt more comfortable with someone watching my baby before now.

Jasmine is the epitome of caring combined with professionalism. She took care of my small shorkie for an extended stay and when i returned my pet was calm and well cared for. Jasmine checked in every day with a quick message update and pics to let me know how things were coming along. She even checked in on the plants as well. Highly recommend this sitter and will use her again

Dahlia was fantastic to work with. She was great at communicating and sent daily updates of our pups while we were out of town. I felt confident our pets were well cared for. She was respectful of our home as well. I would definitely recommend Dahlia for any housesitting and pet needs.

Samantha was absolutely wonderful! She stayed overnight at my home with my 5-month-old puppy, Barkley, while I was in California, and she made everything so easy—no stress, no worry. She sent frequent updates and really went above and beyond, especially since Barkley developed some digestive issues right before I left. She took such good care of him, and I came home to a happy, healthy, and very tired puppy who had clearly been well loved and played with. We’ll definitely be hoping she’s available every time we go out of town!
