“Lauriel was wonderful! My pets were very well taken care of and I don’t even know how much they missed us. They enjoyed her so much! That is how I want to be! She was professional, prompt, and always sent pictures of my dog and cat! We will definitely use her again. She was wonderful.”
About: We've used Rover for years for our Zoey. It has always been great to know she is safe and happy when we're away. We want to provide that same relief when you need to be away from your furry friend. We've had dogs for 20 years and that doesn't even count the pets we had growing up. We will provide your dog with all the comforts of home including a big fenced in yard. Although I normally work outside of the house, my husband James works from home and our daughter lives here while in college. That means lots of love and care for your doggies throughout the day. Safety is our top priority so you can feel confident in leaving your pet in our care. We have a large, fenced in yard. We understand anxious pets because we have one! We promise pictures and updates (if that's what you'd like!)
About: As a firefighter, my entire career is built on safety, reliability, and handling high-stress situations with a calm, focused mind. I bring that exact same dedication to pet care. Whether your dog needs a high-energy workout, your cat prefers a quiet companion, or your pet requires strict medication schedules, you can rest easy knowing they are in highly capable hands. I have experience with our furry friends ranging from puppies with enough energy to power our houses to our senior dogs that need very specific special care instructions throughout the day. Whatever is needed to be provided throughout the day to your family, it will be delivered as if they were my own. Due to my firefighter shift schedule I typically have entire, unbroken days where I am 100% available to dedicate my time and energy to your furry family members. When not on shift there is nothing more I look forward to then spending time with animals. My profession requires a clean background, absolute integrity, and a high level of public trust. You can feel completely secure letting me into your home to care for your furry family members. I treat every member as if they were my own family, ensuring they get plenty of affection, exercise, and routine care no matter how meticulous. Being a professionally trained emergency responder any unexpected situation that arises you can have confidence will be handled in a calm and efficient manner.

I have experience with dogs who are boarded during alone time! With the experience of working with shelter dogs, i’ve learned patience works wonders!
“Pets were well taken care of. He shared pictures (but I did not receive the written reports the sitters usually share after every visit). He helped as possible with cleaning poop/throw up my puppy left around the house. Quick to reply to my text messages.”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was 8 years old. I figured out at a young age they can help heal the human spirit. I wanted to be like them and heal people so I became a nurse. While working as a home health nurse my patients' pets would get a visit from me too. Now I'm retired from nursing and freelancing. My experience is very diverse and I am hardworking. My schedule is very flexible. I'm available 7 days a week. I'm also available for holidays. I can do early morning walks, mid day, afternoon and evenings rain or shine. I have a big backyard and access to a local dog park as well. I love going on walks and exploring new neighborhoods with new fur friends.
“Valerie was able to come let our pup out when we had a last minute change of schedule and couldn't make it back in time. She was a life saver and we will absolutely be using her services again. She took great care of Arielle and was good at communicating with us the whole time.”

“Sandra was great. She was especially good with our dog Ollie who is a rescue with trust issues. She took her time with him and was very gentle. By the end of the visit he was sitting right beside her wanting attention. She is very experienced with dogs and it shows.”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I understand that pets are family. I am committed to providing safe, attentive, and loving care so that pet owners can have peace of mind while they are away. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and ability to build trust with pets of all ages and personalities. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy who needs consistency and positive reinforcement, an adult dog who enjoys walks and playtime, or a senior pet who requires extra attention and gentle care, I will tailor my approach to meet their unique needs. I pride myself on maintaining routines, providing plenty of exercise and affection, and keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages.

I have a friendly beagle, a fully fenced yard for supervised play and exercise, and accommodations to help pets feel at home. Whether in my home or a client's home, I follow each pet's routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they are away.
About: I've taken care of and had dogs ever since I was 8 years old. I recently relocated to Chicago and lost my dog a little over a year ago at age 12 to natural causes. I'm very active into sports and take many walks daily. Throughout the year I like to foster dogs to help rescues with adoptions. I like to do a morning long walk 20 minutes or more before I go to work. Depending on what is needed for pet care, I have a pretty flexible schedule to do more than one potty break. After work I also like to do another evening walk if time allows and just to settle down for the night. I have a friendly dog community and do not mind walking multiple times to expend energy. The house is also very spacious for relaxation. If you allow furniture sleeping so do I. I'm flexible to what my clients would want from my in home stays. If I come to your house, naturally I would follow guidelines that your pet is typically used to.
About: My dad used to be a forest officer(now retired). Therfore have grown up with lots of pets including dogs, turtles, parrots, and rabbits.

Currently working full time as a PT but usually get off work on Fridays at 4 and usually available to take bookings over the weekend. I live in a community house so we have a common yard. It is not fenced. Regarding inside of home I treat pets as a family member.
“Liliya could NOT have been more reliable or easier to work with! She cared for our dog while we had a weekend away with family and we felt so calm and comfortable with her from the beginning of our experience. She even stopped by to get acquainted with our pup the day before we left, and each visit she sent us photos and notes on how he was doing!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life (I'm 45] and can’t imagine it any other way! I currently have two of my own — Charlotte, my sassy 5-year-old pug, and Jack, my sweet 14-year-old Yorkie mix. So I’m experienced with both playful pups and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’m comfortable with different energy levels, sticking to routines, and making sure walks are safe and fun. I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of the family (and probably talk to them like they are too 😊). Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Morning & Midday Dog Walker ☀️ I work from home. Reliable, attentive, and patient with dogs of all ages. Focused on safe, structured walks and positive, loving interactions every time. 🐾 I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, keep their space clean, refresh water, give lots of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

“My wife and I like to take trips here and there, and we’ve always relied on our kids to watch the dogs while we’re away. We started to feel like it was becoming a burden for them, so we decided to look for a professional sitter instead. We were both understandably nervous about having someone come into our home to care for our dogs, but Selena quickly put us at ease. Selena was our first choice, and we are so glad we were able to book with her. She was quick to respond, extremely professional, and took the time to come over beforehand to meet the dogs and learn their routine. Right away, my wife and I were impressed with her experience, knowledge, and qualifications. While we were away for a long weekend, Selena was absolutely amazing. She sent us plenty of pictures, spent quality time playing with the dogs, and cared for them exactly as we would ourselves. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. I highly recommend Selena and have already rebooked with her for future trips.”
“Such a well dog sitter! Came to meet my dog and asked a lot of good questions on how to provide and care for my dog! She came did her thing just like how I told her and she went beyond! Gave me a lot of photos during the care and a lot of note taking on how my dog was! Definitely will book again and recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Streamwood
I'm impressed with Mariah. She's friendly and easy to work with. She follows my instructions perfectly. She shows up at the right time each day. She writes detailed summaries of each visit. And she takes a lot of good photos -- even selfies with my cats. When I'm out of town, I'm more relaxed knowing Mariah will be handling the cat duties.
every time we book with her, she is nothing but pleasant and professional. She always communicates with us. Everything that’s going on, she’s always on time and I know we can count on her to take care of our animals. I cannot recommend her enough, I would give her more stars if I could!
Sophia took such great care of our cats while we were away. Our kitten gets medication morning and night, and she handled it perfectly every visit. She also kept their water full, cleaned all of the litter boxes, and still made sure to spend quality time with them instead of just checking the boxes and leaving. Her updates were one of my favorite parts. They were detailed, authentic, and full of pictures that made us feel like we knew exactly how the cats were doing. You can genuinely tell she cares about the pets she’s watching, and that kind of peace of mind is priceless when you’re away from home. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats, and I honestly don’t think we could’ve asked for a better sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with Sophia again!
She went above and beyond with communicating how my elderly cat was doing while we were away. She let me know when my cat had a hard time walking/getting up and when she was doing better. She was also willing to help my cat with her mobility issues. I was very nervous about leaving my 18.5 yr old cat alone, but this communication helped tremendously. I was able to rest assured that my cat was being very well taken care of.
We had a small glitch Saturday am. Sitter Didn’t make it until noon to see my cat. Should have been around 9am stop. As soon as I contacted Ashley she apologized and ran over to feed Lola & give her meds. No worries after that. She gave very good details & pictures of how after every drop in went. Lola was well taken care of.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
