“Eric did a fantastic job with my 13 year old golden doodle who has never been away from us before. He communicated any updates and sent beautiful photos. I greatly appreciated his efforts and willingness to accommodate Bella. Highly recommend!”
“I am so very pleased with Kelly and Dahl! Everyday I received pictures and videos so it was great to see she was getting along nicely! I for sure will be booking again for all of my needs!”
“Brook and her family took my pup in for a long weekend and she looked after him as her own. Brook gave me updates of Junior’s stay and put me at ease my entire trip!!! 5 ⭐️ & much 💖!! Thank you!!”
“We loved having Miika stay with Sergio and Bethany. They were very kind, communicative and took great care of our dog while we were gone. Will definitely return!”
“Kelly took care of Aiko for the second time and she was great! Aiko really seemed to enjoy her stay. I'm so glad we found her, she's super reliable. Aiko can be a little shy, but she warmed right up to Kelly. It gives me such peace of mind knowing Aiko is in good hands. I would definitely recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a pet sitter. We'll definitely be booking her again. Thanks again Kelly!”
“Our experience woth Pamela was amazing! We were beyond nervous leaving our Barkley but she made the process easy. We did a pre meet up and when I went to drop him off on he actual weekend, he ran right up to the door excited. I got frequent updates on how he was doing and pick was flexible after a flight delay! Our dog is not food motivated and she would add a couple drops of broth to his bowl to make sure he got some food. I appreciate the extra attention to his care! We will def use Pamela again for future sitting.”
“Rachael was AMAZING with my boys. Her care for them, communication and time spent to make sure they felt at home put my heart at ease. I would highly recommend you book with her🤍”
“Although we have used and been happy with Rover pet sitters in the past, we feel in finding Adriana we hit the Jackpot!!!! From our initial contact with her we were impressed with her lovely and caring demeanor. She related so naturally and comfortably with us and our little Brynnley, demonstrating her kindness and obvious love of these little fur-babies. Our plan always when we need to leave Brynn in someone's care is to provide a safe and positive experience for him and we certainly were assured of this through the many messages, pictures and videos Adriana sent several times a day! And I would be remiss if I didn't mention her beautiful home and yard...what a fun place for puppers to run and play...and comfy couches to cuddle. Great experience...thank you Adriana & Kayla”
“My dog always has the best time at Veronica’s. She sends me updates and cute pictures of Stella at least once a day. Stella is always excited to play with her and her kids and she loves the chickens in her backyard.”
“Christina is very responsive and helped put my mind at ease when leaving my pup for the first time. My dog loves Christina and her family and has so much fun while he's there. He has so much fun playing and is always worn out when I pick him up! 🐶”
“Jessie had such a wonderful time here. They were so kind and thoughtful with her. She provided lovely updates which made us feel happy that Jessie was safe with them.”
“I am so thankful for Cindy and her care of Roxy! I was so nervous to leave her while we went out of town, but Cindy was an expert at making Roxy welcomed and relaxed. With updates through the weekend, I knew Roxy was in great hands! Thank you again, Cindy!”
“Alex was the first person that we have ever had to watch our dog Maple and she will be who we continue to go to when we need someone. Alex was very attentive and knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable with her watching our dog for an extended period of time. While we were away we received many photos and updates which was amazing to see and Maple made plenty of new friends while staying with her. We appreciate all of her help and can't recommend her enough!”
“Darbi and Nate were great! We had a few schedule changes post-booking and they were so flexible and accommodating. They took Finny in and just loved on him so much! Sent updates and pictures which was great! In fact…we’re convinced that the poor dog is mad we brought him home 😂 Highly recommend!!”
“Thida was great! I had a last minute request and she picked up my booking quickly. She also sent several photos and updates throughout his stay. She even got Poki to eat both meals at her house which is pretty uncommon for him! I would definitely book Thida again for future stays ??”
About: I’ve fostered and rescued cats and dogs for a few years now , every since I was a kid I would bring in strays and help them . I’ve also pet sat for friends and family for a few years as well :) I currently have a job were I make my own schedule so my availability is very open ! I’m available every day of the week day and night :) I walk my dogs 3 times a day I take them to the dog park 5 times a week for an hour or longer depending on how hot it is
“I’ve had amazing experience with Huaqing. My cat is very shy and scared of people. Huaqing took great care and was accommodating to all my requests! She provided daily updates with pictures even when my cat gave hard time while taking them. I felt quite reassured on my trip knowing my cat is at safe place. She sent my cat off home with extra treats and toys and a handwritten card. It’s a 10/10 experience and I would love to board my cat with Huaqing again. Thank you for being an awesome sitter!”
“We had the best experience with Lana! She treated our dog like her own and welcomed her with open arms. I loved the photos Lana sent of Leila sleeping on the couch and even enjoying some knitting! She looked so happy and relaxed, I felt great knowing she was having the best time. Our dog is a rescue and Lana took extra time & care to ensure she was comfortable. She has a wonderful fenced in backyard which we prefer for overnight stays. Lana is an amazing pet sitter & we look forward to using her again in the near future!”
“Ashley was an amazing dog sitter! She kept me updated throughout Macy’s stay with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Macy clearly enjoyed staying with her and was very well taken care of. I would definitely trust her to watch Macy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Alyssa was amazing. Took a last minute booking to check in on my 3 cats. Was thorough in our first meeting and asked lots of great questions. She provided wonderful care to my 3 boys while we were gone. Definitely recommend!!”
“Veronika was a great sport about a somewhat irregular cat sitting gig of looking after a semi-stray cat I have been feeding for several months. She sounded honestly happy and pleased the one time she saw the cat in the yard. Very reliable and easy to work with.”
“Adrienne was amazing and made leaving my fur baby that much easier. She made sure he was comfortable and got the enrichment he needed. Will definitely be looking to reach and book again in the future.”
“Danielle is awesome. I was very worried about leaving my 17 year old tabby. She sent several pictures a day to let me see for myself that Marley was ?ok”
“This was our second time entrusting our fur babies with Cindy and again she exceeded our expectations. She did check-ins everyday for a week at the same time and was on time for every one. She even stayed late a couple times to make sure my kitties were happy and comfortable. We will definitely be booking her again.”
“I’m extremely grateful for aleksandras help! she sent lots of photos and videos which I really enjoyed. she went out of her way to make my extremely shy cat feel very comfortable and safe! I will definitely be a repeat client! 10/10 would recommend :)”
“Am absolute delight! She was so thorough with each visit and was very patient with my boys despite their skittish nature of always hiding. Going above and beyond to at least try to see where they might have tucked themselves away so I'd know what they were up to. Really gave me peace of mind while I was away.”
“Alexandra took excellent care of our cats! It was reassuring to get photo updates while we were gone, and our cats seemed very comfortable with her (even the scaredy-cat). I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a catsitter.”
“Alan did a great job with my indoor calico Sparkle and my outdoor cats. Sparkle was not very friendly but she got to know Alan and came out to see him more than I thought she would. He was good at getting her medicines to her and sending upates and photos. We look forward to having him help us again soon!”
“We are so grateful for Rachel ! We had a last minute booking and she was super communicative about availability and flexibility with our fur babies. She was always updating us on how they were doing during her check ins. Razor and Blueberry absolutely loved her and felt very comfortable with her specially when she brought them some treats!! We will definitely be reaching out again:)”
“Valerie walks my dog and is amazing so I hired her to watch my cat. She was awesome like always! Sent me updates, pics, and let me know how Simba was doing. It felt good knowing my kitty was getting some love while I was out of town!”
“I can't recommend her enough! She took such great care of my dog, Peanut, while I was away for the weekend, and I had complete peace of mind the entire time. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, and it was obvious how much she genuinely cared. Peanut came home happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. It's not easy trusting someone with your dog, but she made the whole experience stress-free. I will absolutely be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter!🫶”
“Can’t thank Carly enough for getting me out of a last minute jam. She took amazing care of my two pups and did a great job communicating updates. Will definitely use her services again!”

“Milla watched my cats for a long trip and she is great at communicating and was very professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She responded quickly when I had questions and my cats really liked her. She kept my space clean and tidy for when I came home as well. Thank you Milla!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Shalimar
“We needed someone to watch our 7 year old German Shepherd during the day while I went off and played old man baseball. Kelly turned out to be perfect. Very flexible and didn’t require any of these meet and greets a number of Rover sitters want. Being from out of town that never works. She sent pictures and videos four the four days we used her. Can’t really say much more she seemed to like him and he came back a tired pup. Good Job!!!”
“Susan did an amazing job watching Ava for the day! Took her out for walks multiple times, played with her and sent multiple updates and picture to let me know she was settling in well. I would highly recommend Susan!”
About: Hi! I’m Patience ! With over 10 years of experience caring for pets—ranging from energetic puppies to senior cats—I treat every pet like part of my family. As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets need tailored care to feel comfortable while you're away. A typical day in my care includes a morning walk, plenty of play sessions with chew toys, and quiet cuddles in the evening. For seniors, I focus on gentle, short walks and ensuring they have soft bedding and a calm environment. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have company throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, allowing for frequent potty breaks every 2–3 hours and mid-day play sessions. I usually take a longer walk in the late afternoon to help them burn off energy before dinner. Your pet's safety is my top priority. I require a meet-and-greet to ensure we are a perfect match. I only communicate through Rover for your security and mine. I am highly observant of behavior, ensuring pets are never put in stressful situations and that their environment is secure.
“I came in town to help with events for work & Jerron agreed to watch Ripley last minute. My pooch was happy and tired when I picked her up instead of anxious. & she is a high energy dog even at 6 years old. I recommend and would use Jerron's services again.”

“An afternoon spent at Alicia’s home, was a wonderful treat for Jack & Marley! Playing with other puppers and a walk with Alicia, was the socialization they needed. Alicia was very quick to respond to any questions I had and my boys had a absolute blast - with pictures and video as proof. I highly recommend Alicia to care for your furbabies!”

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for more than 20 years, and spending time with animals has always been one of my favorite things. Over the years, I've cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from playful Chihuahuas and energetic puppies to gentle Huskies, senior pets, and independent cats. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give each pet. I take the time to get to know their unique personality, routines, and preferences so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reassuring presence nearby, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I'm experienced with senior pets who need extra patience and care, including administering medications and following special routines. I'm also comfortable with puppies who are still learning and need consistency, supervision, and lots of positive reinforcement. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel connected when you're away from your furry family member. That's why I provide regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own.

My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. In My Home: When your pet stays with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can relax and feel at home. My fully fenced backyard offers plenty of space for supervised outdoor play, fresh air, and potty breaks, with both grass and shaded areas to keep pets comfortable. We're also conveniently located near parks and walking trails, making it easy to provide regular exercise and enrichment. Because I work from home full-time, pets are rarely left alone and receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I maintain each pet's normal feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule as closely as possible to help reduce stress and make their stay feel familiar. Safety is always my top priority, and I take the time to learn each pet's needs, preferences, and any special instructions before their stay. In Your Home: When caring for your pet in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine consistent and their environment stress-free. I follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and household guidelines to ensure your pet receives the same level of care they're accustomed to. I understand that trust is essential when welcoming someone into your home, so I treat every home with the utmost respect and care. I'll keep you updated with photos, messages, and regular check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, daycare, or overnight house sitting, I strive to provide dependable care and lots of love while you're away.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and fostered sick dogs or dogs who were too young to be adopted from the Pima Animal Care Center and Almost There Rescue. I recently moved into a home with a large grassy, fenced-in yard for a dog to run around in. I am also down the street from a large park! I work from home two days a week (days are flexible) and when I do go in, it doesn’t have to be for very long. I can adjust based on what you need. I usually ask for instructions to be written down so I can refer to them and prefer to do a meet and greet to confirm I would be the best person to watch your pet!
“Karli was great and super accommodating!!!! My dog came back happy and rested! Like he was on vacation too! I would definitely use Karli if I’m ever in the area again! Thank you ?”
“Jim&Ivy took exceptional care of our Goldendoodle Bingo. Jim gave regular updates with photos how Bingo was doing . And was very flexible dropping off and picking up Bingo. Jim and Ivy took Bingo for walks and played with him. I highly recommended Jim and Ivy for your pets Boarding and Daycare needs.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and love having them around. There is nothing like the unconditional love of a dog! People say I’m the dog whisperer because they just seem to like me. I’m retired so I’m home. I do puzzles and reading and I really enjoy the company of dogs, walking them helps me get my steps in. I can take care of feeding and walking dogs. I do live in an apt and walk my dog 4 times a day, so they would get plenty of exercise and lots of hugs!
“Micaela showed up early like I asked her to do. Very reliable and very sweet. She sent me pictures of my dog. I am very satisfied with her and would recommend her to my family and friends.”
“Nicole & Rose V. was absolutely wonderful with my dog! They were attentive, reliable, and made sure my pup was well cared for the entire time. My dog came home happy and relaxed. I could tell he received lots of love and attention. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring sitter!”
About: My name is Evelyn and I have taken care of my own pets for about 10 year. I own one dog named Bella, and we have 2 cats in the house. Typically I feed pets around 8am and take them out for 10 minutes for morning potty break. I work from home so there's plenty of potty breaks and just hanging around inside. Sometimes I'll take them out for a walk to the park .5 miles away. I work from home so I'm already taking care of my dog. Just feeding her and giving her attention throughout the day. Adding another dog for a day or as needed wouldn't change much for us. :) I first learn their feeding schedule and energy levels. Based on that I will make a schedule for play time with them, have plenty of water and treats, and a comfy bed for them to lay on.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Shalimar
About: I have had 5 cats over my whole life, since age 7 - Experience (chronological) of 7 months in an animal shelter volunteering (halted due to an emergency move, then the facility changed to S&N / vaccination services exclusively), 3 months full time in a pet resort, and 2 months professionally & full time in another animal shelter. I have more experience/specific knowledge when it comes to cats and their behaviors, but I am also comfortable and have had experience with dogs (doggy daycare, individual playtimes, walks, as well as feedings!) Cleaning & sanitation was also a major factor in safety when working with animals. I find individual/localized care is more fitting for my life, as I am discovering furthering limits with conditions of mine. Care for any of our little friends is my forte, and I would love to bring the knowledge & experience I have to your loved ones when someone is needed! I look forward to all the lives I may come across ❤️ 🫶 • 😸 🐶 🐹 🦜 🦎 • 🫶 As for my own cats; I will always make sure mine has their needs met first, and ensure they will be in good hands with my spouse if I happen to stay a night/several hours somewhere. They have 24/7 access to filtered water, 3-4 separate feeding times with a real meat & kibble mix (warmed meal,) and at least 15 minutes of full undivided attention playtime a day (doesn’t count the hours of loving on them!) Cat litter boxes are sifted daily, often twice when I can. Litter replacement every 2 weeks, Full washes every month! Whatever is asked for & beyond (unless asked otherwise!). Supervision is vital to how I care for animals, and will always be a top priority especially when it comes to outdoors. Routines and schedules are important to me as well and never skipped.
About: As a lifelong animal lover working from home full-time, I provide constant supervision, 'office mate' snuggles, and frequent potty breaks in a stress-free environment. Your pet will receive my undivided attention in a true home-away-from-home setting, including a large fenced yard for secure play and daily long walks! I am also experienced in senior care and dedicated to keeping your fur baby safe, active, and loved all day long. I work from home full time with a very flexible schedule. I am available for walks throughout the day and potty breaks as needed. I will provide daily updates with photos and videos to make you feel comfortable! I have a single story home with a fenced in backyard. We have a large crate if needed, but we had a velcro dog and know how important it is for animals to feel safe and secure, so they are more than welcome to spend as much time near me as they want!
“Danielle was awesome with my dog during the month that she walked him. She responded to my messages right away and set up a meet-and-greet so we could talk with her in person. My dog seemed to love her during the meet-and-greet. She sent us updates every day that included pictures and a map of where she walked him and how far the walk was. I would definitely recommend Danielle! ?”
About: I know how scary it is to entrust others with your pets, especially if you are like me and have an anxious/reactive pet. I volunteer with a local shelter, and they've taught me so much when it comes to minimizing stress in animals as much as possible. I will treat your pets like I treat my own, with a focus on comfort, reducing stress, and respecting boundaries in what your pet might find to be a new or scary situation. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule, so any time not spent with my own pets or volunteering at the animal shelter I can dedicate to caring for your pet! I have a fenced yard, dog crates, and even a dedicated "pet room" in my home. I also like to use the vertical space for my cats and give them lots of shelving and perches for them to climb and view the windows.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kristen was amazing with Sterling! She was kind, communicative, and totally in tune with his quirks. I loved getting photo updates, and it was clear she treated him like her own. He came back happy and relaxed. I’d book her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I've been loving and caring for pets of all kinds all my life, it's only natural to love yours too! I look forward to how I can help accommodate your special friend's needs. I'm also happy to take care of your reptiles, amphibians, or other small animal pets! I'm currently working part-time at a veterinary clinic and want to fill my days off with your pets! My schedule is prepared until the beginning of August. I can feed, water, walk, play with, let outside if yard is available, and bathe and/or brush with your supplies or mine at your home. If boarding, all services are available in a house with a large yard, and 4 new friends if pup is friendly. All dogs at home are crate trained and have many separate rooms if boarding requires. Client location is preferred.
About: I currently have 3 dogs of my own, and 2 of them were adopted when they were only 6 weeks old. They’re now 6 months old, so I have hands-on experience caring for young puppies and understand the time, patience, and consistency they need every day. I’m used to feeding schedules, potty training, cleaning up after them, supervising playtime, and helping them get comfortable in a home environment. I’ve also helped friends with drop-in dog care and have experience taking care of 2 large dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, refilling water, cleaning up, and making sure dogs get attention and feel safe while their owners are away. I genuinely love animals and always try to care for every dog as if they were my own. My schedule is currently flexible, so I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting throughout the week. I’ll keep my calendar updated regularly, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine whenever possible. I’m not currently offering boarding in my home, but I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any household pet-care instructions. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and make sure everything stays clean, safe, and well cared for while they’re away. I know it can be stressful to leave pets behind, so I’m happy to send photo updates and communicate clearly throughout the stay.
About: I have been working with animals for as long as I can remember. I have worked at an animal shelter for 5 years , I have worked at an Animal Hospital in Scottsdale, I have fostered many animals, and on the side use next door to walk/ babysit any animals as well!! I have fostered many breeds and ages of dogs. I am completely avalible and have a lot of free time currently. I just graduated from Cosmetology school and am currently unemployed . I am excited ! My home is very calm , and I only have one senior cat Alora , who is the sweetest and does not bother any animals. Shes worked well with all my foster dogs and cats. I also love to work with your animal at your home, and I usually do that most of the time. I like to make sure the animal feels safe and secure and a lot of the times I notice it’s when I’m at my clients house!
About: I have 40+ years of loving, nurturing and training pets, including dogs, cats, horses, birds, ferrets, reptiles. I’ve had several training workshops for horses which has amplified the quality of interaction and communication with all my pets. Animals have always been drawn to me as I to them and has always been a major component that enriches my life. You can trust that I will love your pet unconditionally and give them the attention and focus you would give them. I currently work from home which allows me the flexibility to modify my schedule based on your fur baby’s needs for walking and care routines. Each client and fur baby has their own schedule and unique needs and so I tailor my service based on each situation so as to keep their life as consistent and normal as possible while you are away.
“Mel is great! She went out of her way to meet with us within hours of reaching out and walked our dog the next day. She goes above and beyond. Has great attention to detail”
About: There has never been a time in my life where I haven’t been around animals. I’ve had dogs, cats, fish, and even mice! I’ve been pet sitting for about 10 years now for friends, family, and now clients. I’ve worked in a pet daycare/boarding facility and as a bather in grooming for about 2 years now, so you can be rest assured I have the training and compassion to take care of your furry (even feathered or scaly) friends! I am currently a part-time student, so I am available Mondays/Wednesdays after 4, Tuesdays/Thursdays after 2, and I have full availability (with some exceptions) on weekends! While I would love to care for your pets, I have my own at home and may need to break away shortly for short times during overnight sittings to take care of them. I am very adaptable to each owners needs. I am willing to play, walk, feed, or anything in between for your pets! I have no problem doing anything your dog or cat may require, even if that means taking care of the not-so-fun parts of owning pets.
About: I have had a dog since I was a child and have cared for all types of dogs, from a mini dachshund to a great dane mix. I have experience with shelters dogs, dogs with anxiety, and service dogs. I currently work from home and do not have a set schedule. I do have family dinners sunday nights and am typically gone around 4 hours but otherwise, I am typically only gone an hour or so every few days. I live in an apartment but love taking the dogs out on long walks every few hours. I have a retired service dog who will keep your dog company.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of care and attention I give to animals, especially senior pets. Honestly, animals have always been a huge part of my life — my first word was “dog.” Caring for them comes very naturally to me, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality, routines, and quirks. I currently have an 8-year-old pocket pitty named Zola and two cats, Zeke and Macen, who are 9 and 10 years old. Having my own pets has made me very attuned to the importance of routine, patience, and making animals feel safe and comfortable in their environment. Before them, I cared for my geriatric dog Jake, a large breed lab mix who lived to be 16 years old. Caring for an aging dog taught me a lot about senior pet care, including mobility support, medication schedules, comfort needs, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or health. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, shy, or needs extra support as they age, I focus on creating a calm, caring environment where they feel secure and loved while you’re away. I’m also very communicative and know how important peace of mind is for pet owners, so I provide regular updates and photos throughout their stay or visit. Most importantly, I treat every animal like they’re my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. I currently care for my own pets — Zola, my pocket pitty, and my two cats, Zeke and Macen — so my days are already centered around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, attention, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. At the moment, I have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets a lot of attention and consistency throughout the day. I’m available for daytime visits, walks, overnight care, and last-minute needs when possible. Because I’m not balancing a traditional 9–5 schedule, I’m able to be very attentive and adaptable to each pet’s routine and needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care doesn’t feel like an obligation to me — it’s something I truly love doing. I care for pets by trying to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible, whether they’re in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. I know pets are most comfortable when they feel safe, have structure, and get plenty of attention and interaction. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, litter box cleanup, and any specific routines their pet is used to. I also pay close attention to behavior and energy levels so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I also provide regular updates and photos because I know how important peace of mind is when someone else is caring for your pet.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life! I have professional experience with dogs, cats, horses, fish, rodents, and birds. I fostered for the Big Fluffy Dog Rescue based out of Tennessee when I lived in Chicago including long term foster care and transport! I have taken care of puppies, seniors, and all the in between. I believe that animals have this unique energy and pure understanding of the world that can make a persons life so much better. I can do basic training, learned animal safety skills, and oral medicine administration. I am happy to match your pets unique energy whether that’s laying down and relaxing for a chill afternoon or running around outdoors for some fun high energy playtime! I’ll always take to time to get to know your fur baby and tailor their care to them :) I currently work mornings, typically 4am-10am. I live with my partner so when I’m out at work in the morning your pet will still have a companion and someone to take them outside or just hang out around! When I get home from work it’s playtime, I love to interact with animals and find their energy fun and exciting and so sweet! We will absolutely tailor your experience to your pet, and we know they all come with their own special and unique personalities and quirks. We’d love to make you and your pet as comfortable as possible, so if there are any requests you may have we are happy to here them and adhere to what makes the tails happy! I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks and typically take walks throughout the day around a pond by my house! Walks can last as long as you or your pet prefer, but typically I aim for 30-45 minutes. I typically walk during the cooler parts of the day, and will bring water if it’s over 100°out. If the service takes place out of your home I will walk within the neighborhood if possible and stick to shady areas to keep your pet cool and happy! I want you to feel assured that your pet is safe and happy with me and love to snap pics along my route! I apologize if you hear me talking in my squeaky pet voice to your baby in any videos I send, haha!
About: I have had dogs since I was 10 years old. I also dog sat for my neighbors, family, and friends. Anything your pet needs, I’ll try my best to provide! I currently am working full time at Chase Bank. I am gone from the hours of 9 am to 6 pm! I get up early in the morning and go on a walk myself and then another when I get home from work! I do not have a yard but I fenced in grass areas near my apartment to take your dog out to play and go potty. If you’re more comfortable with your pet staying home and me coming to check on them there I am more than willing to do that!

About: I’ve fostered and rescued cats and dogs for a few years now , every since I was a kid I would bring in strays and help them . I’ve also pet sat for friends and family for a few years as well :) I currently have a job were I make my own schedule so my availability is very open ! I’m available every day of the week day and night :) I walk my dogs 3 times a day I take them to the dog park 5 times a week for an hour or longer depending on how hot it is
“I’ve had amazing experience with Huaqing. My cat is very shy and scared of people. Huaqing took great care and was accommodating to all my requests! She provided daily updates with pictures even when my cat gave hard time while taking them. I felt quite reassured on my trip knowing my cat is at safe place. She sent my cat off home with extra treats and toys and a handwritten card. It’s a 10/10 experience and I would love to board my cat with Huaqing again. Thank you for being an awesome sitter!”
“Highly recommended! She and her family took wonderful care of my dog and treated her with so much love and attention. They played with her, made sure she was comfortable, and truly cared for her as if she were their own. She also sent pictures and videos occasionally to keep me updated, which gave me great peace of mind. I’m very grateful and would absolutely trust her again with my dog.”
“Our first time using a pet sitter for our 18 month old female GSD and the experience could not have been better, for us or our pup! Right from the meet and greet, Christian and Hana calmed any worries we had and left us with great confidence that our pup would be taken care of. Hana provided updates with photos throughout her stay, and we were able to enjoy ourselves knowing she was in great hands. We will definitely be using Christian and Hana again and are very grateful to have found them!”
“We had such a great experience with Alani! From the start, she made us feel really comfortable by inviting us into her home to see exactly where our dog would be staying and to meet her family. That meant a lot to us. It felt very welcoming and gave me peace of mind knowing the environment he’d be in. Her home is beautiful and very well kept, which made it even easier to feel confident leaving our pupper in her care. Communication throughout was excellent, and we always felt informed and reassured. We’ll absolutely be booking with Alani again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Steven was an amazing host! He was very friendly and so accommodating to meet up prior to the drop off date to introduce our dogs to each other. He sent pictures every day with the daily walks, and we always felt reassured that Miso, our dog, was in good and caring hands. I definitely hope we can book him again in the future and absolutely recommend him to anyone that is looking for a dog host.”

They send us pictures and updates which makes us feel at ease while away from our baby. I definitely recommend them especially for senior or medically fragile dogs.”
“Elena took amazing care of Teddy, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was kind, professional, and treated him like her own dog from the moment I dropped him off. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind, and when I picked him up, Teddy was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious that she truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and safe. I highly recommend Elena to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Hi! I’m Patience ! With over 10 years of experience caring for pets—ranging from energetic puppies to senior cats—I treat every pet like part of my family. As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets need tailored care to feel comfortable while you're away. A typical day in my care includes a morning walk, plenty of play sessions with chew toys, and quiet cuddles in the evening. For seniors, I focus on gentle, short walks and ensuring they have soft bedding and a calm environment. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have company throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, allowing for frequent potty breaks every 2–3 hours and mid-day play sessions. I usually take a longer walk in the late afternoon to help them burn off energy before dinner. Your pet's safety is my top priority. I require a meet-and-greet to ensure we are a perfect match. I only communicate through Rover for your security and mine. I am highly observant of behavior, ensuring pets are never put in stressful situations and that their environment is secure.
“Nichole was excellent! She took great care of our dog for 3 nights and provided multiple updates with great pictures. We’d definitely book with her again. She was also very flexible on drop off/pick up times.”
