“Michelle was prompt, kept in touch every day while we were away, and took great care of Cotton and Maizey, including making sure Cotton got all her meds every day. She was flexible when our plans had to change at the start of our trip. This was our first time using a dog sitter who stayed at our house, and Michelle made us feel really comfortable. We’ve just arrived home to two happy and healthy pups. Thanks Michelle!”
“Such great care! Ky was so friendly and kind to my pups. She kept them company, made sure they had lots of love and treats, and communicated frequently on their status. I would absolutely book her again.”
“As always, Tabitha has taken great care of my guy- and was able to help me out on shorter notice than normal! Duke and I are lucky to have found her!”
“I was going abroad and my friends watching my 7 month old puppy had a 2 day gap. Tyko had only”
“Rylie was so good with the dogs and communication while we were away. This is the second time we have used her and will definitely use her again!”
“Jack did a great job with my two dogs. He quickly scheduled a meet and greet to discuss our house and what our dogs would need. One of my dogs is old, a little anxious and does not allow many people to pet him. Jack was very patient with him and by the end of the weekend, Rudi felt comfortable enough to let Jack pet him. Jack was also very responsive and sent several pictures of the dogs over the weekend. Everything in the house was also in good order when we returned from our weekend. I would highly recommend Jack for house and dog sitting.”
“This was the first time using Rover. I could not be more pleased with the individual we picked when we chose Josh!!! He was readily available. He kept in great communication with us throughout the entire process from booking to his departure after watching our pups. He cleaned up and left house clean and tidy. Even kept the pups safe during a tornado warning. Cannot wait to book again with Josh!”
About: I’ve taken care of families pets since I was 14 years old. As well, I have raised 3 puppies and just finished training my friends new 8 week year old puppy that’s growing up to be a great boy! I care for dogs and all pets and their lifestyle and overall health emotionally and physically to make sure they get all their needs. I am currently a college senior student working a front desk job at a salon and I’m looking forward to taking care of some pups. 😊 I am currently home from a college winter break yet I reside in Chicago. I am familiar with the area and have a huge love for animals and their care. I am currently working part time as a front desk receptionist and a salon in downtown Chicago and I am looking for something else to do that I enjoy on my free time. I want to prioritize a pets needs and wants, taking instructions by a pets owner comes first since they know their pet best! Taking insight on the pets breed and making sure you keep them on a consistent schedule and maintaining it is super important for a dogs happiness. Keeping them entertained and safe is key! I would make sure I treat all pets like they are my own.
“Kelly was wonderful!!! She took great care of our little cat Claire, who is an antisocial beast of 17 years. Kelly contacted us daily with pictures of our little girl, which eased my concern of leaving her. She was also able to connect with the beast, who has never bonded with other sitters, OK she hid from them or hissed and tried to attack them, trapping one sitter an a small hall way. Claire not only talked to Kelly she came out of hiding, which impressed both me and my husband. Thank you Kelly for all you did for Claire.”
“Delaney is reliable friendly and very loving to our pug Louis. Very caring and attentive. Definitely someone I will always have be with our sweet boy.”
“Emily is a stellar sitter! She took care of my two dogs, fish and plants and left the house in great shape. She even cleaned! I can’t say enough good things about her, and I’m very grateful for her help!”
“Gabby was excellent. She took fantastic care of my cat--which included crushing up seizure medication and mixing it into her food 3x daily. Gabby also checked in frequently, followed directions, and truly seemed to care about our cat. We would hire her again in a heartbeat. This was our first experience with a house sitter and we're very glad that it was Gabby.”
“Lauren was prompt and very responsive. I could tell my dogs and cat were well cared for over an extended weekend.”
“We took a 9 day vacation and she took great care of our pets. She even made friends with my 15 year old cat, who typically does not like people. She frequently sent pictures, video, and updates. It was a great experience and she made me less nervous about leaving them behind.”
“Rachel was awesome. House and dog sat my very active puppy for 2 weeks. Puppy and plants are all thriving upon return. Would absolutely recommend ?”
About: I have had dogs all my life (and cats occasionally!) They need us so much - they are innocent souls like our children that depend on care & love. I work from home so I'm available at all times with great opportunity to hold/care and insure they are feeling calm & secure, well fed, and welcome at all times. I have had my own dogs/cats for 40 years. My dog, Julia, is 2 yrs. old and extremely well trained in all aspects. I live in an apartment that is 50 feet from a back open area of trees & ponds. I also have a fenced dog play area for those who are not accustomed to being leashed and need to run. I currently work from home so I may provide constant oversight & care. My dog, Julia, is extremely friendly without any aggressive behaviors. I can crate your pet should you feel that's required per your specifications. I live in a clean & welcoming apartment with my Pomeranian, Julia. We have a dog park/run/free roam area that I use constantly. In many cases, I feel it's important to bond with your pet by spending personal attention to them upon arrival. Giving a soothing voice, providing calming energy, toys, bones, & cleanliness is incredibly important for their care.

8. Andrea O.
“Andrea Ortega is an amazing candidate for this opportunity. She is a very gentle and earthy person while constantly expressing her love not only for animals in general but especially dogs. She owns two dogs that she has raised alongside her parents. One of the two were completely her responsibility and she took that task on headfirst from an early age. She cares for her animals as I know that she would care for others just as much. Finally, what makes her the best candidate for the position would be her drive to make sure dogs are not only loved but taught in order to reach their full potential.”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care Dylan provided for my dog Pete. From the moment we met, it was clear that he genuinely loves and understands animals. He was responsible, communicative, and made sure my pup was happy, safe, and well cared for. I highly recommend Dylan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, while out of town. I’ll definitely be using him again.”
