“Shawna is so amazing and took great care of my pup. She was attentive, communicative, and just all around the best!!! I will definitely book again and would recommend her to anyone I know!”
“Tiffany was amazing! I have a pretty high maintenance cat who enjoys playing, cuddling, and being around people in general! She has a cat room with a litter box, cat tree, and a bunch of cat toys. Initially when I did the meet and greet she said she sent a picture a day, and even though Sirius-Snape’s visit was short she sent me pictures at least 2-3 times a day! If you really need someone to watch cat or dog, then I would highly recommend Tiffany! Tiffany, is also very flexible with drop off, and pick up, is very communicative, and can tell that she loves watching cats, and dogs. I couldn’t have found a better person to watch my cat Sirius-Snape for a long weekend!”

“Monica is an excellent sitter. Our dog boarded with her for nearly 2 weeks and he was top shape when he came back. When we brought him to her he had some minor health issues (eye infection, skin irritation) that required some attention and medications that she very nicely provided. She also enjoyed playing with him, bringing him for walks, and in a safe park for runs. He is missing her for sure! I recommend Monica 100%!”

“Absolutely amazing. They sent us updates with pictures several times a day. When we picked up our puppy they had her stuff ready to go along with having already washed her stuff for us. Amazing experience and we will definitely use them again.”
“Norma was Amazing! I was very comfortable leaving My "Apollo" in her care. I felt like he was on Vacation at the same time I was on Vacation, he Loved her Catio! Norma sent Me pictures and I Loved to see how they had bonded! I highly recommend Norma and look forward to more Vacations now that I have found such a Wonderful Pet Sitter!”

It makes them feel comfortable just like at home. We will definitely be coming back for more visits. I can’t wait until it’s nice out so they can run and play in the big back yard.”
“Kelly is our go-to sitter. She takes care of our pup with so much love and we always feel safe and comfortable knowing he’s in her care. She’s amazing!”

“Megan was amazing with my cat! I’d never left my Gus in the care of a non-family member so I was super nervous, but he warmed up to her immediately and was soon demanding pets and making biscuits every single visit. She even left a little treat for him on the last day. She was very professional, always stayed for the full amount of time, and responded quickly. I would recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting!”
“10 out of 10 Recommend & Will request Lara to care for Biscuit again. Biscuit was drawn to Lara during our introduction home visit. I was instantly at ease leaving him for five days. Lara was polite, flexible and extremely dependable. Each one hour visit was followed by a detailed write up and photo shoot. I could not be more pleased. Highly recommend Lara. She will steal you and your pets heart”
“Gary was friendly, communicative, and professional! I appreciated the thoroughness of his rover cards and would feel comfortable booking him to watch my kitty again :)”

Ally was always on time, easy to communicate with, followed our instructions, provided personalized updates, and sent us the cutest photos of our boy, Ludo! I really felt a connection with Ally and knew that she deeply cared about providing the best care for Ludo. I would 10/10 recommend hiring her! So happy that we found her!”
“Awesome sitter, very responsive and on time. My cat felt comfortable immediately upon meeting. I will book in the future and would highly recommend to anyone!!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Dustin gave our little man Chuck. From the start, she was warm, communicative, and truly attentive to his needs. Chuck is particular, to say the least, and Dustin showed incredible patience and understanding, which honestly made all the difference. She kept us updated consistently with the sweetest notes and photos, and it was clear Chuck was relaxed and happy in her company. Seems like Bubbles may have a new favorite human! Dustin exceeded our expectations in every way. She’s reliable, compassionate, and goes the extra mile — we feel so lucky to have found her and we’re infinitely grateful!”
“Charlotte watched our cats while we were away. She did a great job. Kept me updated with messages and pictures. I would definitely recommend her services!!!”
“We couldn’t say enough good things about Asia’s care of our cat! We had to leave her for the longest time we ever have due for our wedding and it was a big stress reliever to know she was in such good hands while we were away! Asia always takes such great photos and gives great notes on how your pet is doing each day - you can tell that she is actively paying attention to any behavior changes in your pet instead of just getting the job done. Our cat loves her and we absolutely recommend her!”

“Emely has watched our previous senior pup and was very accommodating - so we wanted to have her watch our new pup too! He is very shy and she was very patient with him and provided walks treats and play time. Thanks Emely!”
“Thomas was great! He did a meet and greet which made us more comfortable, was really sweet with Mingo, responsive to messages and gave us updates throughout. We will definitely book again!”
“Lauren was an amazing sitter for Pascha. She was communicative and kept me updated throughout the day and was also very flexible. Pascha had a great time at doggie day care at Lauren’s and was excited to go each day - which says something considering she’s a sassy Shiba. I’d definitely recommend your dog stay with Lauren, they will have a great time and will be in good hands.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Shawna! She took such great care of Bruno—so patient and loving. She took him on walks, cuddled with him all day, and even shared the sweetest pictures. I’m so grateful for her care—Bruno absolutely loved it!”
“Barbara has been great watching our puppy Bogey! Her communication is terrific and she genuinely enjoys taking care of him. Would definitely recommend!”
“Felecia cares deeply for the animals she sees. She takes time to understand their needs and routines. High maintenance dogs or dogs that haven't been trained are not a deal breaker for her. I was very worried about bringing my dog over since he can be a handful, but Felecia was willing to take care of him. She gave me thorough feedback about his stay when I picked him up. Your dog is in good hands with her.”
“Savannah was amazing with my sweet pup Meadow! She really went the extra mile making sure Meadow was comfortable, safe, and having fun. I loved all the updates throughout the day! I will definitely be booking with Savannah again and highly recommend! :)”
“Liz is wonderful! Such a kind person, and very communicative. She takes great care of our puppy, and is open to additional instructions/special care. I feel confident leaving my puppy with her for the day.”
“Jade took My Baby “Yoda” for the day today while I was in town and found out last minute only took service dogs for physical disabilities and not for mental/behavioral disabilities! I was super nervous to leave him without me as he is my CPTSD service dog so he is constantly with me! Jade took awesome care of Yoda and he had a blast playing with her other dogs! If he could talk to me in English I’m sure he’d be asking when he’s going back to Jade’s house to play with his new friends!!! Not to mention CPTSD dogs are trained to notice peoples energy and moment and alert those around or myself if they are sketchy and he did nothing but play with the other puppies and cuddle with Jade!”
“My dog is loving spending time with Yvette, Derek, and the other pups! He wags his tail when he sees Yvette now and always comes home tired and happy 😊”
“10/10! Gloria was very accommodating, kind and understanding when it came to me being almost 2 hours late dropping off my pup to her! 🥲 She updated me as the day progressed with pictures and was so kind! Not to mention her rates are better than any of the other rates and the service was amazing!! Thank you Gloria I look forward to having my dog spend more time with you and your pup!”
“Our dog, Ace, is almost 14 yrs old and Mercy is so good with him. He has some mobility and hearing issues and she is so gentle and calm with him, He is comfortable at her home and there is easy access to the backyard. Thank you, Mercy!!”
“Lauren is so awesome. She was totally unfazed by our slightly clingy and very expressive lab. Lolli had a great time hanging out and came home happy!”
“We had a great experience with our dog sitter and felt really comfortable leaving our dogs in their care. Our dogs were well cared for in a warm, home-like environment, which gave us peace of mind. We came home to happy dogs and would definitely use them again!”
“Jen, Jim, their daughter, and their pup all really went out of their way to make sure Harper had a great first day with them. Harper especially loved snuggling and exploring their incredible backyard. 10/10 recommend!”
“Scott and Rachel were so amazing with our one year old girl Murphy. Scott took Murphy on walks and played with her throughout the day and it was clear she was living her very best life. Usually when I pick her up from daycare she’s eager to go home but she hopped right back up on the couch to get in some final snuggles with Scott. We are Incredibly grateful to find such wonderful sitters in the neighborhood!”

About: I have 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs. I am honest and deeply care for pets of all kinds. I have had rabbits over the years and I have specialty care with elder buns. Whether that be medicine administration, end of life transition resources and assistance with physical limitations, I have you covered!

I am actively looking for work and will update this piece once something comes along. Cross your fingers my friends! Trust is a huge priority for me. I was let down by a sitter years ago and I will not be the cause for pain and stress for any pet parent I have the opportunity to support. Regardless of whom enters my home, they have have their own sleep spot and play space as needed. I have a courtyard that is secured from any road access where your dog can run and play.

“Jade has been stopping by to take care of my dog while I work 12-hour shifts, and she's been amazing. She always keeps me updated and sends pictures, which gives me total peace of mind while I'm away. Even though Penny can't talk, it's obvious how much she enjoys her time with Jade-she's always so excited and happy when I get home. I truly appreciate the care and attention Jade gives her!”
“Todd is awesome! He made time to meet us for a meet and greet last minute and is super responsive. He also sends the best pictures of our high energy pup on walks! We will definitely continue to request walks from Todd!”
“Highly recommend Megan! She replied within minutes to our request for a walk and came by same-day for a meet and greet. Sounds like the walk went smoothly and Charlie felt very comfortable with her. We will book again with her in the future.”
“Nancy has been an amazing dog walker for us over the past two weeks. She is responsible, respectful, and punctual. Nancy is incredibly kind and helpful, and we felt completely at ease knowing our beloved Larry was in her care. Thank you, Nancy, for everything you’ve done we truly appreciate it. It was a pleasure having you take care of Larry!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and have always had dogs in my home. Over the years, I’ve dog sat for all ages of dogs— from energetic puppies to senior dogs, adapting to each pet’s individual needs and routines. I’ve also cat sat for multiple families and understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level. One of my most valuable experiences has been fostering groups of puppies across the years. This taught me how to safely care for multiple dogs, maintain routines, recognize individual needs and changes in behavior, and provide patient, consistent care while helping puppies grow and learn. I love to provide daily updates including photos and videos to pet parents to provide consistent, excellent communication, and share all the fun adventures they experience. :) I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own! También hablo español y con gusto puedo comunicarme con familias que prefieran hablar en español. :) I’m currently a psychology student in college and work with children as an RBT during the week, so caring for others has always been an essential part of my life. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy and find very rewarding. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate focused time on walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and giving pets lots of attention. I also love to run and hike, and would love to take your dog with me! I understand how essential routines are, and I do my best to keep each pet’s schedule as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while their family is away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I carefully follow every owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household rules. I pay close attention to changes in behavior and make sure pets are supervised and secure both indoors and outdoors. In your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect I would my own while maintaining your pet’s daily routine. I’ll always provide consistent communication, and updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Brittany was very patient with my dog as she was scared of all the fireworks. Very communicative and patient! Will definitely be requesting her help again soon! :)”
“Jessica has been awesome for our dog!! Our dog is extremely anxious and shy and Jessica has taken the time to let him warm up to her and make him feel completely comfortable! She has been reliable and consistent and has really helped us out!”
About: I am only available work 11 am to 5 pm. I worked in a shelter and helped out a little with the dogs and have had pets my whole life. I get along very well with animals, including very shy animals. I'm a freelance artist with a very free schedule and I can drop in anytime that you may need me to be there. I understand the regularity of a pet's schedule is very important! I can crate a pet if needed and am very careful with an animal's boundaries to insure safety and comfort for your pet and myself.
About: We recently moved and are now in the Washington Park area. Still have a fenced yard and a playful dog! Please reach out to schedule a meet and greet if you are interested. Thank you! My girlfriend and I are both experienced dog owners and love dogs! We both work from home and have pretty flexible schedules. We have a 4 year old spayed female Cattle Dog mix that is high energy, friendly, and loves other people and dogs. We trained our dog through Paw School, so we have most of the commands and positive reinforcement down. We have previously had other high energy dogs (Goldens, Jack Russells, etc) and understand the energy that dogs need to expend. We are active and can take dogs on long walks, hikes, and dog park visits. We have a big fenced backyard for day care. For drop-ins and walks, we would like to stay close to home. Boarding will be considered on a case-by-case basis after the dogs meet. Both work from home and have relatively flexible schedules. I work an East Coast day, so I start and end early. Afternoons are mostly open. Our house has a fenced yard and dog door. In your house, I will pretty much just pick up your dog and walk or play outside.
About: I have an 8 month old puppy who loves to play with all dogs. I have helped take care of family dogs for several years as well. We enjoy taking long walks, playtime at the park, and lots of cuddling! Use my referral code for your first booking: https://www.rover.com/sit/marybh84879 I am currently working Monday through Thursday but would love to help on Fridays, weekends, or evenings. I am a very active person and love to bring the puppy along on all the adventures. I have a fenced in backyard with an energetic puppy named Bear who loves to play with other dogs of all shapes and sizes. Bear and I love going on hikes or walks around the park.
“Graham and Brenda helped me out on a last minute need and were wonderful! I can't thank them enough for giving my pup a much needed walk while I was working extra hours.”
About: I am now living in Minneapolis and love my time here. I have had dogs for most of my life. I love having them around to play with. I have been a house and pet sitter for about four years and have a couple of regular people. I am looking to expand what I am doing to include dog walking. I work in the emergency management field and know how to work with animals in stressful situations for those that think their pets may be difficult. When I lived in Colorado, I took care of two dogs for an owner who believed one of her dogs was challenging and took time for him to get used to new people (and that was if he liked them in the first place). He and I got along from my first visit. During the first visit, she was surprised that he came and sat next to me after about 15 minutes. I work Monday to Friday from 8 AM - 4:30 PM. I make sure your pets go out before I leave for work and they are my priority once my work day has ended. I am happy to stay at your place if wanted. This can make things easier and less stressful for your pet. I am willing to work with you if there is some other situation you are looking for.

“Lindsay and Josh were awesome with Wolverine! I'm always nervous leaving him with new people, but I felt totally comfortable with them right away. They kept me in the loop, which was great!

The house and yard are great, they have two dogs who are quite comfortable and accomidating with new and visiting pets, and once you meet with her family I have no doubt you'll feel very secure leaving your special pup with Anne and her family. Can't say enough, but they will be my first call in the future!”
“Sarah (and her whole family) always makes Stanley feel so welcome. I super appreciate her attention to detail and communication. Stanley loves staying with them and always looks forward to the next time he gets to go, and I always have peace of mind to know he is in the best hands”
