“We left our dog, Brody, with Anlin for 13 nights, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. As this was our first time working with Anlin, I was a bit nervous about such an extended stay, but he put me completely at ease the moment we met. Brody can be a generally nervous dog, but Anlin handled him perfectly. Throughout the trip, I received frequent updates, including photos and videos, which made it clear that Brody was happy and being truly cared for. Anlin was also incredibly gracious and proactive in working with us to ensure Brody had fresh food throughout his stay. We are so grateful for his care and absolutely look forward to working with him again!”

Highly recommended and would schedule her services again.”

“This was the first time we’ve ever left our dog with someone outside the family, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We were gone for two weeks and received lots of updates the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog settled in wonderfully and clearly got plenty of cuddles and playtime. Highly recommend!!!”
“This was Chacco’s first time boarding, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Yuyun went above and beyond to make her feel right at home! I really appreciated the regular photos and videos sent every day—it was clear Chacco was having a blast. Yuyun was incredibly diligent with potty breaks every few hours and playtime. On top of the great care, she was so accommodating when we had a last-minute change of plans. I highly recommend Yuyun for anyone looking for a caring and flexible sitter!”

About: I've had dogs for nearly 20 years and know every dog has their own personality and routine. I work from home, so your dog will have company throughout the day, daily walks, and plenty of attention. I only board one household at a time because I want every dog to feel comfortable and at home, not a house full of unfamiliar dogs. My dog, Henry, is friendly with dogs of all sizes and enjoys having company, but he's also pretty laid back. I've cared for senior dogs, including one with megaesophagus and myasthenia gravis, so I'm comfortable giving oral and liquid medications and following special feeding schedules. Before every first stay, I'd love to do a meet-and-greet to make sure it's a good fit for everyone. During your dog's stay, I'll send plenty of photo and video updates so you know they're doing well. I work from home full time, so your dog will have company throughout the day and won't be left alone for long periods. We usually start the day with a morning walk, followed by another walk in the afternoon and a shorter walk before bed, plus potty breaks as needed. Henry and I visit nearby parks every day, and if your dog enjoys dog parks too, I'm happy to include those with your permission. If not, we'll stick to neighborhood walks and on-leash park visits. On hot days, I'll adjust our schedule and walk during the cooler parts of the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I only board one household at a time, I can give each dog plenty of attention and keep a close eye on how they're settling in. Dogs are never left outside unattended, and all walks and park visits are on leash unless we're in a designated enclosed area and you approve. My dog, Henry, is friendly with dogs of all sizes and enjoys having company, but he's also happy to relax and do his own thing. I also have a cat who mostly keeps to herself and usually prefers to stay out of the action. I'm happy to follow your dog's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, furniture rules, and any other instructions that help them feel at home. If your dog is crate trained, I'm happy to use your crate if you bring one.
“Jingwen and Zhuode were amazing! They took great care of my dog for 3 nights. From the very first contact, they were extremely attentive and even offered a meet-and-greet at their home. They were very professional in gathering helpful information about my dog to ensure a smooth stay. During the stay, they took him to a dog park (which he loves!) and sent daily updates and check-ins. Kuzco looked very calm and happy when we picked him up, which reassured us that he had a great time there. I highly recommend them!”
“Our second time leaving our pup with Rachel and C.W. and they are our now our go-to dog sitters when we are away. There whole family took such great care of our dog Archie, even going the extra mile to brush his fur! They kept us appropriately updated with tons of pics and a little synopsis each day. They are so detail oriented and I would recommend them to anyone!”
“i’ve left my dog hodu with ahiram a few times now and have had a great experience each time! hodu is always so excited to see her and her regular updates let me know he’s having a great time. i will definitely continue working with ahiram in the future!”
“Luna is staying at Soyoung's again for 5 nights :) She's so excited every time when she knows she's going to stay at Soyoung's. Soyoung sends me photos of Luna everyday that I don't have to worry about how Luna is doing. Luna also gets to play with lots of other dogs there everyday and sleeps very well at night. She plays in the backyard with other dogs and takes walks with them as well. She looks very happy! Thank you for taking care of Luna!”

“We went on vacation for a week and a half, and Gabriela stayed overnight with our 2 cats during that time. She did a great job taking care of them and giving us updates. Our cats take a little bit to warm up to people, but they warmed up to Gabriela pretty quickly and seemed to enjoy her company. She made sure to ask clarifying questions for anything she wasn’t sure about, and the house was very clean when we returned home. Would absolutely recommend her overnight services.”
“Warm, friendly and very thorough! Very attentive to my kitties and what they need. I definitely recommend to anyone that has fur babies! Robyn goes above and beyond to make sure that you’re home and babies are doing excellent. My new go-to sitter!”
“Jenifer did a great job taking care of our two cats while we were out of the country, we would certainly use her help again for future trips. She was also very responsive and made sure to get some good pictures of the cats while we were away.”
“We had a great experience with Hsuan-Chu. She took such good care of our cats and really spent time playing with them, which they loved. Clove is usually pretty shy and nervous around new people, but she actually felt comfortable with Hsuan-Chu and even warmed up to her, which meant a lot to us. Cumin also enjoyed spending time with her and clearly had a great time playing. Communication was easy, we always got thoughtful updates, and we could tell they were both happy and well cared for. We’d definitely book with her again.”
“Suzanne was great! I really felt I could trust her caring for my cats. She was great at communicating and even did me a solid and came a little earlier than scheduled one day when the automatic feeder didn’t go off! Appreciate her!”
“Michelle stayed at our home with our kitty for a weekend. She was warm and patient with her. She sent regular updates and pictures of kitty and any packages that arrived. She took great care of our kitty and house.”
“Malia is so good with Luna Nova,, my 8 year old Rottweiler who also just had surgery. She takes the cutest pictures of her and gives me really good updates. She informs me if anything is concerning. I 100% trust her with my dog. She handled giving Luna her meds and a snack during the day to keep Luna from getting an upset belly. I totally recommend her.”
“Soyoung looked after my cat for 10 days and she was wonderful! She was so patient and spent plenty of time playing with my cat to keep her entertained. I really appreciated that she even helped vacuum the litter around the box, keeping the house nice and tidy. She even went the extra mile by helping me bring in a package while I was away. I had complete peace of mind knowing my cat was in such good hands. I highly recommend Soyoung and will definitely be booking her again!”
“Yan took really good care of our cat. She was able to do pick up and drop off, and was flexible with the timings. I really appreciate that she sent daily updates and photos, which allowed us to have peace of mind while we were away. Will book again!”
“Highly recommend! She was incredibly detailed and responsible throughout the entire process. She even came over ahead of time for a meet-and-greet to familiarize herself with the entry process, which gave me great peace of mind. During the visits, she strictly followed all instructions to check on my two cats and provided very thorough, detailed updates and photos. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my babies!”

When I returned, my cats were happy and relaxed. I highly recommend XI to anyone looking for a responsible and loving cat sitter!”
About: I enjoy caring for dogs and cats and always treat every pet with patience and attention. I am responsible, dependable, and careful about following each owner’s instructions, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, and other daily care needs. I am generally available in the afternoons and evenings, which gives me plenty of time for drop-in visits and pet care. I can also adjust my availability depending on the day and the needs of each pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow the owner’s instructions and routine. I make sure pets have fresh water and food, keep doors and gates secure, and give them plenty of attention while respecting their space and comfort.
About: Hi! I'm new to professional pet sitting, but I've grown up around cats and other animals my whole life. Taking care of pets has always just been a normal part of my day-to-day routine, and I truly enjoy being around them. I currently have a 1.5-year-old cat of my own, so I'm very familiar with feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and all the little quirks that make cats unique. Living with my own cat also reminds me how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them when you're away - and that's something I don't take lightly. While I don't yet have experience with senior or special-needs cats, I'm attentive, patient, and happy to carefully follow any instructions you provide to keep your cat comfortable and stress-free. Whether your cat loves to play or prefers quiet company, l'll respect their personality and space. I'm happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is being cared for. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your cat.
“Carissa was great with my two cats, Cheez and Quincy. I already booked her again for another vacation. It was my first time using Rover, and Carissa took the time to meet me and my cats and explain the process and what I should expect. She did the drop-in visits around the same time, so their routine was not disrupted too much. Carissa gave me detailed updates for each visit, including plenty of pictures. I’m so glad I found Carissa and can worry less when we go away.”
About: I've had cats since I was born, and have grown up appreciating their quirks and caring for all different cat personalities! I look forward to getting to know you and your cats, and giving them the best care possible while you are away!
“Sandra was such a pleasure to work with and has been kind and attentive. Very responsive and communicative when it comes to messages and photo updates. Sandra adapted really well and with a lot of understanding when my cat had suddenly gotten sick and had different needs than we had originally discussed. My cat usually takes a while to be comfortable around new people and keeps himself hidden or acts sassy but by Sandra's second visit he was coming out of hiding to engage in a friendly way which I think shows good intuition and understanding of an animal's social ques on Sandra's part. Would love to have Sandra as a regular sitter for my cat.”

“We needed a last minute dog sitter and Anlin was responsive and more than happy to watch Dexter the next day. The whole process was smooth. Anlin and family are really nice and take awesome care of your pet. They checked in with photos throughout the day to let you know how your pet is doing. Would recommend for anyone who needs dog care.”
About: I have experience with: 🐶 Puppies (potty routines & reinforcing basic training) 🐾 Senior dogs requiring patience and gentle handling 🦴 Special feeding schedules and dietary needs 🐕 Multi-dog households and safe introductions I have a secure fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and exercise. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and routines to ensure each dog feels secure and cared for.

PPet care fits very naturally into my daily routine.

I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays, and I’m flexible with drop-offs and pick-ups.

Pets are never left unsupervised outside, and I follow each owner’s instructions carefully — including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and special routines.

“Brian and Emi helped Mochi felt comfortable by playing with him since it was his first time there. Teddy is adorable and is nice to share all his toys, especially his glow in the dark ball. He was sleeping in a car on our way home. Must be be tired from a fun day. 😊”
“If you're looking for a dog sitter who treats your pet like their own, look no further than Jie. She is my absolute hero when I'm on vacation. What stands out most is her genuine patience and thoughtful approach to my dog's needs. Her dog and mine are the best of friends, and it's clear they have so much fun together. She doesn't just stick to the basics of feeding and walking; she makes sure to dedicate time every single day to playing with him, which I know he loves. On top of all that, she sometimes cooks special food for Joey, which is a testament to her dedication. I am so grateful to have found someone so kind and caring to look after my doggy”
“Evangelyn was wonderful with Brownie. She was very caring and cared for Brownie as if she was her own pup. I received regular updates with pictures and she was always responsive. She has my highest recommendation!”
“I just wanted to share my great experience with you all. Today, my dog was in Soyoung's daycare, and I have to say, I'm very impressed with the level of care and attention he received. My dog is struggling with social skills (being super shy and timid), so I was a little worried about leaving him. However, Soyoung went above and beyond to ensure he had a fantastic time. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos of my dog. It was so heartwarming to receive those updates and see that my dog was having a great time. I really appreciate the extra effort she put in to make me feel at ease while my pet was in her care. My dog is a picky eater, and she even took the time to offer me some helpful advice when I came to pick him up. I'm so grateful for her kindness and expertise. She truly went out of her way to make sure my dog was happy and comfortable, and that means the world to me. If you're looking for someone who is caring and friendly to take care your pet, I highly recommend Soyoung. She is truly amazing.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Sarah’s care for our dog! From the moment we drop him off, he’s excited to see her, and by the time he comes home, he’s happy, tired, and clearly had an amazing time. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in great hands. Sarah is also fantastic with communication—she proactively sends updates and photos throughout the day, so we always know how our pup is doing. It’s clear she genuinely cares and goes above and beyond to make sure he’s comfortable and entertained. Overall, a 10/10 experience! We’ll definitely be booking with Sarah again. Highly recommend!”
“Emma took wonderful care of Pepper while we were away! She kept us updated, made sure he was comfortable, and treated him like her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, which gave us so much peace of mind. We would absolutely trust Emma with Pepper again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Natalia is a wonderful pupp-sitter for my 7-month old Portuguese Water Dog. She has taken Betty every Saturday of this month as I have a heavy work-load those days. She is great about blending my pup into her routine, taking her to the park with her older German Shepherd, Hershey, who Betty adores. Natalia is a kind, loving person who Betty gets very excited to see every Saturday ! Bet comes home happy and ready to sleep, need I say more...I highly recommend Natalia as she is so skilled and loving towards dogs!”

About: Everyone on here walks, but does your dog need an extra workout? I am willing to stroll, walk, play, and even run with your pup! I have two family dogs (Santita and Elphaba) who I love running with. While my living situation does not allow pets, I would be delighted to walk or pet sit your fluffy friend with the same respect, love, and care as my own. For walks and check ins, I am available in the mornings through 4pm everyday. My August/Fall schedule has not been confirmed as I will be starting a new job. Don’t let that stop you from reaching out, I am very flexible and am sure we can work out a schedule that fits your pets’ needs! Please contact me for more information on overnight stays. I will keep you notified on our events throughout the walk or stay. I will ensure your pets have enough water and food before I leave. Any kennels are locked and toys are put away. I double check kennel and house locks and wait a few minutes to make sure the pups don’t get out.
“Pearl always take the time to get to know my dog's specific needs and preferences, and it’s clear that she genuinely loves animals. The walks are always on time, and she provides detailed updates afterward, including photos and notes about the walk. My dog comes back exhausted (in the best way) and happy every time. I also appreciate how Pearl communicates. She is highly relatable and reliable.”

About: I've owned pets since I was a kid, from Aussies to Pitties to cats. I love all animals and their unique personalities. I'm here to help you care for your fur family, from walks to feeding, to sitting. I'm very patient and reliable and have open availability to be here to help when you need it. I'm currently have a very flexible work schedule and am looking to help keep myself occupied as well as another source of income. I'm a single mom of a High School Senior so I have lots of free time to devote to your pets. I'll provide care for your pet in your home. I'll feed, water, walk, entertain and clean up after; however snuggles and pets are free. If your pet has special needs like meds, diet, mobility restrictions, I'll gladly help as needed as well. Your pets will be in good hands.
About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including fish, dogs, lizards, rabbits, and cats. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of different pet needs, from maintaining routines to recognizing changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve regularly looked after friends’ pets during vacations and work trips throughout my college years. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my attentiveness and reliability. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive not just proper care, but also attention, patience, and affection. I’m adaptable to different personalities and routines, whether it’s an energetic puppy or a more independent cat. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible, which makes it easy to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m also really big on living an active lifestyle. I enjoy walking and running regularly, so having a pet actually fits in perfectly with that. It’s great because it keeps both me and the pet active and engaged, and it naturally becomes part of my day rather than feeling like a separate task. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in every environment I care for pets in. In my home, I have a secure, fenced yard that allows pets to roam and play safely. I also live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with nearby parks, which is great for regular walks and exercise. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their established routines as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions, including medications or special care. In both settings, I maintain a clean, hazard-free environment, keep a close eye on pets at all times, and make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. My goal is to create a safe and trustworthy experience where both pets and owners feel completely at ease.
About: I worked at Naperville Animal Hospital for about a year as a kennel technician. I have a labradoodle that just turned 7 who is 90 pounds. I also have 2 cats who are almost a year old. I love going on walks with my dog and taking him to do fun things (dog park, pup cup, etc). I also love playing and taking care of my cats. Am always available to give them the love they deserve. I always make sure to clean up after my own animals and will make sure to do the same for others. I also make sure to make them feel comfortable even in a new environment.

“We left our dog, Brody, with Anlin for 13 nights, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. As this was our first time working with Anlin, I was a bit nervous about such an extended stay, but he put me completely at ease the moment we met. Brody can be a generally nervous dog, but Anlin handled him perfectly. Throughout the trip, I received frequent updates, including photos and videos, which made it clear that Brody was happy and being truly cared for. Anlin was also incredibly gracious and proactive in working with us to ensure Brody had fresh food throughout his stay. We are so grateful for his care and absolutely look forward to working with him again!”
“I’m very glad I chose Ghazal to look after my dog Grace during my trip away. Ghazal provided multiple cute pictures everyday of Grace, updates of her activities, and was an excellent communicator throughout the week. She went above and beyond. Highly recommended and would schedule her services again.”
“Leaving Ollie with Sofiya was comforting. She took great care of him with daily updates and was also very flexible when we had to make a last minute change to schedule. Thank you Sofiya”
“My foster dog Baby had a wonderful stay with Tanya and her daughter. Their home is basically doggy heaven, and Baby enjoyed the huge lawn and tons of love and care accordingly. Baby looks forward to her next visit!”
“Oobleck had a wonderful stay with Michael getting daily walks, lots of belly rubs and scratches. Michael took great care of Oobie and I’ll definitely book him again for a future stay. Thank you Michael 😊 Oobie can’t wait to learn more cooking tips, watch the Roomba, and go on sniff walks with you again.”
About: I've had dogs for nearly 20 years and know every dog has their own personality and routine. I work from home, so your dog will have company throughout the day, daily walks, and plenty of attention. I only board one household at a time because I want every dog to feel comfortable and at home, not a house full of unfamiliar dogs. My dog, Henry, is friendly with dogs of all sizes and enjoys having company, but he's also pretty laid back. I've cared for senior dogs, including one with megaesophagus and myasthenia gravis, so I'm comfortable giving oral and liquid medications and following special feeding schedules. Before every first stay, I'd love to do a meet-and-greet to make sure it's a good fit for everyone. During your dog's stay, I'll send plenty of photo and video updates so you know they're doing well. I work from home full time, so your dog will have company throughout the day and won't be left alone for long periods. We usually start the day with a morning walk, followed by another walk in the afternoon and a shorter walk before bed, plus potty breaks as needed. Henry and I visit nearby parks every day, and if your dog enjoys dog parks too, I'm happy to include those with your permission. If not, we'll stick to neighborhood walks and on-leash park visits. On hot days, I'll adjust our schedule and walk during the cooler parts of the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I only board one household at a time, I can give each dog plenty of attention and keep a close eye on how they're settling in. Dogs are never left outside unattended, and all walks and park visits are on leash unless we're in a designated enclosed area and you approve. My dog, Henry, is friendly with dogs of all sizes and enjoys having company, but he's also happy to relax and do his own thing. I also have a cat who mostly keeps to herself and usually prefers to stay out of the action. I'm happy to follow your dog's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, furniture rules, and any other instructions that help them feel at home. If your dog is crate trained, I'm happy to use your crate if you bring one.
“Jingwen and Zhuode were amazing! They took great care of my dog for 3 nights. From the very first contact, they were extremely attentive and even offered a meet-and-greet at their home. They were very professional in gathering helpful information about my dog to ensure a smooth stay. During the stay, they took him to a dog park (which he loves!) and sent daily updates and check-ins. Kuzco looked very calm and happy when we picked him up, which reassured us that he had a great time there. I highly recommend them!”
“Our second time leaving our pup with Rachel and C.W. and they are our now our go-to dog sitters when we are away. There whole family took such great care of our dog Archie, even going the extra mile to brush his fur! They kept us appropriately updated with tons of pics and a little synopsis each day. They are so detail oriented and I would recommend them to anyone!”
“Amelia is wonderful! We were so happy to be able to be away and know that she's taking good care of our pup. The fact that our anxious little dog loves her says it all.”
“Hands down one of the best Rovers I’ve used. Very communicative and friendly, great stimulation for my dog while I was away on an extended trip. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants their pet to have the utmost care and love while away from home. A+ and an easy 5 star rating.”
“Zonic was well looked after by Madhumita, she would update me with photos and sometimes video clips of Zonic every morning. I highly recommend Madhumita as she is a caring and detail person.”
“Ben and his family took wonderful care of our two pups. We received plenty of updates, and both drop-off and pick-up were seamless. I was especially nervous about leaving one of our dogs, who can be quite anxious, but Ben’s knowledge and experience quickly put me at ease. Our pups came home happy, and we wouldn’t hesitate to send them back again.”
“Thank you, Jie and George for taking such great care of Skeeter today! I'm amazed by how much time you spent with playing him, walking him and giving him treats. He's completely knocked out now after such a busy day with you! And, thank you also for the constant communication on how he was doing. I really appreciated the photos and videos!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful and dedicated dog sitter than Qi. From the very beginning, she demonstrated genuine care, attentiveness, and professionalism in looking after our beloved dog, Bear. It was immediately clear that she treats every pet as if they were her own. Qi went above and beyond to ensure Bear was not only well cared for, but also happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. Her attention to detail, reliability, and warm nature truly set her apart. When we returned, Bear was relaxed, content, and clearly had formed a bond with her—a true testament to the exceptional level of care she provides. We are incredibly grateful for Qi and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly exceptional in pet care. Thank you so much, Qi! We are hoping to book with you again soon, I know Bear can’t wait to see you again!”
“Olga was absolutely amazing with Harley! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. Olga kept us updated, and it was clear Harley was having a great time. After picking her up, she was happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found someone as kind and trustworthy as Olga. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care for their pup!”
“I appreciate that Antonio and his family were willing to take our pups, Pip and Pumpkin on short notice. Pumpkin is an especially anxious dog and they provided safe and comfortable care for both dogs while we were away for the weekend. Thank you!”
“This is the first time that we left Luna and Riki for a long trip and Nadia took such good care of them during our trip. She sent us pictures and videos every day and responded to our inquiries very quickly.”
“Quang was a great sitter for my senior dog! He was very accommodating to my dog’s needs and sent me photos. He’s also still responsive while I was on a trip. Would book again and I’d recommend him to my friends.”
“Julia was a fantastic caretaker of my dog Ella when she was boarded for a week. We received multiple updates from her everyday, which gave us invaluable peace of mind while we were traveling. Ella is a very energetic dog and Julia made sure to take her out to walk multiple times and Ella looked happy to be with Julia. I would recommend Julia to anyone else looking to board your dog. Thank you Julia and hope to see you again!”
