“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”

“Incredible! From the first moment, I knew my pup was safe and loved on. Abigail consistently communicated how he was doing and sent pictures that made my day every day! I highly recommend her services. I have booked with Rover before, but this was by far the best experience.”

Tara D.

“Rut was absolutely phenomenal! I could sense her expertise from her well-crafted profile page. I have specific care instructions for my dog, and when I dropped him off before my trip, I noticed that Rut had already printed out the document to have a hard copy on hand. Throughout the day, she sent several updates with all the details I requested, confirming that she was diligently following my dog’s routine. Rut’s kindness and clear experience as a caregiver were evident in every interaction.”

“Tamara is outstanding on communication and was very attentive to Valentine’s needs and comfort. It is a big plus that she is very near a park space. I would use her again and recommend her without hesitation.”

“Briana provided a secure, nurturing, and comfortable environment for my dog. Her dog & cat were welcoming to my Keenan. I was somewhat nervous about leaving Keenan with any sitter. But her care for Keenan & her integration to Briana’s home was most assuring. She also lives one half block from Lincoln Park, which is a big plus. I intend to always book with Briana in the future.”

“Wow! Malvi and Andrej are incredible! ? I was nervous about leaving my 14-year-old arthritic pup for 9 days, but Malvi and Andrej sent me several updates a day with lots of great pictures and videos. The constant communication gave wonderful peace of mind. They were very attentive to my senior dog’s special needs and quirks, and took great care of him. And they have two wonderful dogs who made my pup feel at home and a part of the pack. If your dog wants a doggy vacation in a warm and loving home with a humongous yard and sooo much attention, book Malvi and Andrej. I’d 10000% book them again. ?”

“Caleb was fantastic—friendly and communicative. Lisboa had a wonderful time staying with him, and having another friendly dog around for her to play with was an absolute bonus for keeping her socialized and active. She came home happy and well-cared for. I would definitely trust Caleb to watch Lisboa again!”

Juan Pablo H.

“Krista was a great caretaker for Hugo! She was very communicative and proactive. She arranged a pre-stay meet and greet, sent thorough daily updates, and was flexible with pick-up and drop-off times to accommodate travel changes. Hugo had a great time, and so did we on our vacation, knowing that he was in great care!”

Caroline F.

“Robyn was a lifesaver by watching our dog Howie on very short notice. Even though Howie had newly begun having medical needs that required constant vigilance and a strict medication regimen, Robyn graciously and happily agreed to babysit him. She was so responsive and proactive and asked all the right questions about his needs, and Howie felt right at home with her. I can’t gush enough about how she came through for us, two strangers, in a critical moment. We will absolutely leave Howie with Robyn again and are so thankful to have found such a generous and compassionate sitter at such a stressful time”

Jimmie G.

“Fathia was amazing. Clearly loved Nicco. Provided fun photos while watching him. Easy to communicate with. Nicco seemed loved and happy upon his return.”

Alex D.

“Noah was absolutely fabulous caring and watching our sweet doggie! Our pup gets separation anxiety and Noah made sure he was got lots of hugs, long walks, and treats . Noah sent us pictures and regular updates throughout the weekend, something we enjoyed! He asked us all the right questions about our doggie’s habits and made sure Moose felt comfortable all weekend!”

Andrew & Jenny C.

“Callie is an incredible sitter! She followed his care instructions and kept us updated about our doggie. Her communication was perfect. We had peace of mind and felt like our anxious boy was in great hands!”

Joseph R.

“Lizbeth was a great sitter. She was very flexible when my flight came in earlier and I wanted to be reunited with my dog sooner. My dog can be a diva and Liz Beth did a great job sitting her”

Hannah D.

“Abby was a wonderful dog sitter for our pup Gracie while we were away for a long weekend. She sent regular updates and photos, and we could definitely tell that Gracie felt like a member of the family. In addition to treating our dog like a princess, Abby was such a joy to interact with--kind, thoughtful, flexible, and communicative. 10/10. Would definitely use Abby again!”

Tyler H.

“Jeison did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Pax. He was dependable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure Pax was comfortable, safe, and well looked after. I really appreciated the communication and peace of mind while I was away. Pax was happy and well cared for, and I would absolutely trust Jeison to watch him again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”

Julious B.

“Charnetta was very helpful and kind to us. We made some last minute adjustment and she accommodated us readily. Her space was great for our dog. She also kept us updated during our pup's stay with them. Great sitter overall!”

About: I've been a dog person my whole life. Our family has shared our home with everything from standard poodles to an American Eskimo, so I've handled big personalities, high-maintenance coats, smart dogs who need a job, and gentle seniors who need patience and a soft place to land. We recently lost our beloved standard poodle, and while we're not ready for another dog of our own yet, we have a lot of love with nowhere to go. We'd be thrilled to pour it into yours. Your dog will be our only pet, which means undivided attention: no competing for the couch, the yard, or the treats. Speaking of the yard, it's fully enclosed, so there's plenty of room to sniff, play, and stretch out safely, and we're an easy walk from a nearby park for longer outings. Our home also includes a dog-adoring 7-year-old who has grown up around dogs and knows how to be calm and respectful with them, and all interactions are supervised. By day I run a national nonprofit (from our home), so I'm organized, responsive, and used to being trusted with things that matter to other people. You'll get prompt replies, photo updates, and a sitter who actually follows your instructions, whether that's a medication schedule, a specific feeding routine, or a nightly belly rub quota. I work from home, so your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. My day has a natural rhythm that suits most dogs: a morning walk or yard time before I start work, a midday break for a potty trip and some play, and a longer walk to the park in the late afternoon once the workday winds down. In between, your dog is welcome to nap at my feet, keep an eye on the squirrels from the window, or supervise my Zoom calls. Evenings and weekends are family time, which means more play, more attention, and more couch cuddles. I'm happy to follow your dog's existing schedule for meals, medications, and bedtime, since I know routine is what helps most dogs settle into a new place quickly. Your dog's safety and comfort come first in our home. We have a fully enclosed yard for supervised play and potty breaks, and we're a short walk from several parks for longer outings, always on leash unless you've told me otherwise. I do a quick check of gates and latches before every outing, and dogs are never left unattended outside. Inside, your dog has the run of our home and is welcome on the furniture unless you'd prefer they stay off. We've never crated our own dogs, but if a crate is what makes your pup feel safe and settled, I'm happy to use one. Just bring it along with their bed, food, and anything else that smells like home.

“Kiara was incredible! My pup was so incredibly happy and loved and was even sad to leave. Kiara was also accommodating to my schedule changes, and I thank her immensely for that. I’m lucky to have found her.”

“Janay was amazing with Mattis!! Great communication and even better updates. Would absolutely recommend and would love to have Janay watch Mattis again!!”

STEVEN H.

“This was my second time leaving my rescue dog, Tao, with Rouday, and both experiences have been great. He was understanding of Tao's occasional timidity after being bounced between multiple shelters as a puppy. I also appreciate that he makes dog sitting a family affair, which has been great for Tao's socialization. I'd definitely recommend Rouday to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter!”
