Highly-rated overnight sitters - Addison
“Arielle was wonderful with Charlie! She kept me updated, took great care of him, and made sure he felt comfortable. I really appreciate her kindness and patience. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah was great. She took very good care of my dog and cat and kept me updated with photos and recaps of their activities. She obviously loves animals and I felt my boys were very safe in her care--I recommend her highly.”
“Kent is really great with my dog and great at communicating. I am so happy I found such a great sitter for my dog. He is the best. Jager has made a new friend.”
“Michelle and her family took excellent care of my nervous pup. She went above and beyond making him comfortable, giving him lots of walks, and even gave him a bath when he needed it. Would definitely book again!”
“Amberley was an awesome sitter for our dog. She took him for long walks and texted us pictures every day of him with her dog and cat so we were not at all worried about him. I would absolutely use her again.”
“Many thanks to Lyn and her family for the great care they provided for our 2 dogs (Joplin and Hampton) over this past weekend. Each is an 8-year-old male and skittish about being separated from us (we have never left them with anyone but close family members). Lyn made them feel right at home from the moment we entered her pet friendly home. She has a warm and engaging personality and seems knowledgeable and really, really loves dogs. The dogs warmed up to her immediately and we left them totally at ease, knowing they would be safe and happy while we were gone. We really appreciate how Lyn accommodated our constantly changing plans as we were attempting to go sailing with a very unpredictable weather pattern. Thanks to Lyn, we feel we can make any future plans and be confident our dogs will be well taken care of.”
“Mary was great with Bernard. He was a happy camper when we picked up him and he was getting lots of time outside and attention - both of which he loves. She responded quickly to messages and was very flexible with pick up and drop off. There where several other dogs around and also other people. I would use Mary again!”
“Justine and Brett were amazing to work with. We were first time rover users and from the first message I sent they were great with communicating and setting up the booking. They were super friendly and welcoming. You can also be confident that with Justine’s background working with pets she knows what questions to ask to take the best care of your dog and they really do treat your dog like their own. One of my favorite parts was how they sent pictures of our dog playing and kept us updated throughout the weekend. Highly recommend and we will be booking again!”
“This was Mocha's first time with Danielle, and Danielle took such good care of her. She sent me pictures and kept me posted on how Mocha was doing. Danielle even got Mocha to eat - when usually Mocha doesn't eat much if she's somewhere other than home. We already have Mocha's next stay with Danielle booked!”
“Rosie once again has taken very good care of our little "special needs" doggie, Peanut. My husband and I could tell that Peanut was loved, cuddled, walked, and given much attention- of which we are very grateful for. Rosie is also good at giving Peanut his medicine! We highly recommend her to pet owners in need of a sitter!”
“Valentina was great! We had a change in our schedule and she was able to accommodate us easily! Our dog is also older and has issues with stairs- she was able to carry him up and down the stairs of her home to accommodate him. Thanks again!”
“We left our Sheltie, Molly, with Erica for 7 nights while we were on a cruise, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! She is incredibly kind, caring, and professional. Molly seemed to have a wonderful time with her and her dog, Rocky. We truly appreciated the updates and the love she showed our pup. Plus, her home is conveniently located just 10 minutes from O’Hare, making pickup after travel super easy. We will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Susan, David and their son,Jack, were conscientious caregivers for our dog. They asked questions to make sure they understood her needs and preferences. We received updates with pictures of her walks and outside play. We would highly recommend their service.”
“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”
“Allis is the best! She took such great care of my dog, as always. I love the pics and videos each day. She really cared about him, especially making sure he felt safe on 4th of July!”
“Patricia took amazing care of Zoey. She was great with sending us video and photo updates which gave us peace of mind. I highly recommend Patricia and look forward to having her watch Zoey again.”
“Shirley is the BEST. She cared for our kitten with multiple congenital issues (cleft palate & twisted back legs) and accommodated her litterbox & play area to fit her mobility needs, along with tube feeding her by hand. I can tell she truly cares for animals and looks out for both pets and owners. She went above & beyond in consulting her veterinary knowledge from working in a specialty clinic to make it easier for us as owners to care for our Callie & plan for all her needs in the future. I got so many updates & pics/videos of Callie over the weekend, & we couldn't stop talking about how grateful we were she was spending the night with Shirley. We send love & thanks!!!”
“Iris was great with my dog Chase. She sent pictures and updates while we were out of town, which I really appreciated. Communication was easy, and she answered all of my questions. Her kids and home made Chase feel comfortable, just like he was at home. Thank you again for taking such good care of him. I strongly recommend her!”
“Melissa is amazing! She kept me updated daily and even sent pictures!! I felt at ease knowing my pup was been very well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Carly: What can we say. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Three days of check ins,with our fur baby, and she was wonderful, well fed, and sassy as ever. You put in the extra effort and searched her out, and I know how hard it is to find a kitten. You found her and sent us pictures every day. You made us feel so much better, having to leave her for the first time. Thanks for bringing in our mail and even the package, you even fixed Maggie's swing. Truly the best ever!”
“Great job, Claudia, and what a thorough report! You paid great attention to my rambling directions, seemed to know just what to expect and kept an eye out for all I suggested to watch for.”
About: I love the quote by Mark Twain: “Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” That’s exactly how I feel about pet sitting. I grew up with animals and currently have two cats, Loki and Oreo. I also have experience working with dogs, cats and volunteer with local animal welfare organizations as well as worked with companies in the past. If you’d like to learn more, feel free to reach out! 🐾

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Cat Sitter – Punctual, Responsible, and Caring I cannot recommend Mariela enough! She is incredibly punctual, responsible, and attentive to my cat, Simba. From the moment I hired her, she was highly responsive and kept me updated, which made my vacation completely stress-free. Not only did she take excellent care of Simba—who absolutely adores her and thrives under her care—but she also went above and beyond by taking out trash. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail truly set her apart. Thanks to her, I could enjoy my trip knowing Simba was in the best hands. In fact, I’m already looking forward to my next vacation because I know she’ll take care of everything perfectly! If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy cat sitter, look no further. Simba and I are so grateful for her outstanding service, and we’ll definitely be booking her again!”

“Rachel is amazing! We have two geriatric cats with pretty specific needs; she went above and beyond to get to know them and learn how to care for them, including mastering administering an insulin injection. She was very communicative and kind, and it was a relief to know our kitties were in such great hands while we traveled.”
“Velvet was great looking after our cat. Responsive and came with specific questions about how to look after him. She also went above and beyond when we had some surprise flooding in our basement. Will book again”
“Beth is wonderful, we highly recommend her, and will continue to book with her! She is quick to respond to our requests, timely and attentive to checking in with us and taking care of all 5 critters (3 cats and 2 big dogs). She gives everyone what they need, walks, love, kitty box care. Our pets eat raw food and she is willing to take care of all that is involved in that process, thank you Beth!”

“Emily was very efficient and went above and beyond to make sure I had peace of mind while away. I will most definitely be requesting her services the next time I go on vacation!”
“Renee was great! Loved that she took the time beforehand to do a meet n greet. She even did an extra meet n greet because we booked so far in advance and it had been awhile. Attentive, kind, and her passion for animals is clear! Thank you 😊”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Addison
“Iris was amazing with our pup! He’s not perfect and she was so kind and accepting of his needs. Her home is dog friendly and made us feel very comfortable. She’s knowledgeable on all things dogs and truly spoiled our Oscar. We have already planned our next trip and know Oscar will be in good hands with Iris so we can rest easy while away.”
“Karissa is awesome. My Stu has so much fun and I love the photos and updates she shares. Any pup would be lucky to spend some time with Karissa, her people and fur family. Glad I found her!”
“Danielle and her family were wonderful with Blackie. He's a lab mix that can be a little anxious when he is away from us, but they treated Blackie like their own. If the pup is happy, we are happy and we plan to use Danielle again!”
“My dog Hippie gets so excited when he gets to see David and his furry friends. David has a big yard for the dogs to run around. He took care of Hippie very well, I can always trust and rely on David for a fun and safe stay for my doggy.”
“Great place to leave your special pup to be spoiled and care after. He loved being able to play with the other dogs. It was great that he never had to be crated. I would highly recommend.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Michelle! She took such great care of our Mini Aussie. Michelle was incredibly communicative throughout the day, sent plenty of photos and updates, and made us feel completely at ease. It was obvious that she is experienced, caring, and truly loves dogs. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking with Michelle again. Highly recommend!”

“Sadie had a great day with Valentina! Our "get acquainted" day was a success. Thank you so much! We are looking forward to Sadie's next weekend stay with Valentina in a few weeks!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals is truly a passion of mine. I currently have one dog and two cats who are a huge part of my family, we love them dearly and treat all pets in our home the same way. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to give your pup lots of attention, playtime, and care. I’m available for both weekday and weekend boarding, and my schedule is very open. I live near several trails and parks, so walks and outdoor time are a big part of the experience here. I also have a very active 8 year old Lab named Layla who absolutely adores people and other dogs. She’s friendly, playful, and loves having company. Because I have two cats in the home, visiting dogs must be cat-friendly. At this time, I’m not able to accommodate pit bulls or pit mixes. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, and I aim to make them feel right at home while they’re with us. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup! In my home your pet will be family to us. While your pup is in my home, she will go on walks and plays right along side my dog. Your pet will have full range of our home, and will be treated no differently than my dog, so your dog might come home more spoiled than ever!
About: My husband and I have both had dogs our entire life. We now have a 9 year old pointer mix who loves a friend every now and then. We have a fully fenced very large back yard for running around. We have food bowls and a crate. We will mainly care for dogs on the weekends when we are home. We usually do a long morning walk as a family. We spend a lot of time outside and almost always have our dog with us. Yours will fit right in and enjoy a lot of play time! We have a large fenced in yard, another sweet dog to play with and a crate if needed or preferred! We have multiple dog begs and welcome any security items form home.

“Justine and Brett were fantastic! By the time I picked up my little pup, he was all tired out from all the attention and playtime they had with him. So grateful to them for watching my pet!”
“Venus is absolutely wonderful! She took care of my dog and asked thorough questions prior to meeting her to ensure my dog Rosie was happy. She also gave me a little report card and treats for Rosie as if Rosie was at a party. It was amazing!!!”
“This was a very last minute booking. Bonnie was available and she and family were terrific with our dog. He had a party with all the other dogs with him and got to play lots and get his energy out. She sent us pictures and updates and it looked like he was getting lots of love too. She sent Buddy home with a goody bag full of doggie treats! Such a nice touch and so thoughtful. Thank you Bonnie!”

“Our dogs loved Carly! She seemed to really care about the specifics of our dogs' needs. They have some special needs so we worry about leaving them with other people-but Carly put us at ease.

I’m glad to have someone I can trust taking care of my pups each day!”
“Zack was very conscientious in meeting Trixie before our set schedule of walks. He was aware of her sniffing for food all the time and made sure to stop that behavior. We were able to be flexible with our schedule and his. I would hire him again”

About: I have had a love for animals since I was a young child. At the age of 8, against my parents wishes I snuck in an abandoned cat and it ended up being where my love for animals began. We have had many types of pets since then. Currently we have a 3 year-old German Shepherd whom we rescued from a shelter at 4 months of age. We also have a 1 year old Australian Cattle dog who is super energetic. I love spending time with animals, dogs in particular, because they are so playful, happy and full of unconditional love. I am responsible, caring and will take great care of you pet because I know that they are not only “pets” but are also members of your family. I will care for your pet like I would care for my own pets. I work full-time as a nurse practitioner but just started working some days from home. I figured, why not do something I love while also getting exercise at the same time. Note: the only breed of dog that I will not board in my home are pitbulls. My daughter had a traumatic experience with a pitbull so she is very triggered by that breed. I will gladly watch pitbulls in your home and care for them outside of my home. I think they do get a bad reputation for being an aggressive breed but due to our experience, we unfortunately don’t feel comfortable having them around our children. I am able to mainly available for pet care on the weekends. I am able to accomplish most evening/late evening or very early morning walks. Every other Tuesday I work from home so am able to break up my schedule this day. I care for my dogs in my backyard, which is fenced in. She is able to run around freely because we do have a large yard which allows her to burn off her energy. We also play fetch and she is able to spend a lot of her time running around there. We also go for walks around the neighborhood.
“Maria is absolutely amazing. Our dog Solo lovers her and she goes above and beyond when taking care of him. Always prompt and on time. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a walker or sitter”

About: I've taken care of pets ever since I was a kid. When I was in high school, my family hosted dogs of all sizes, including one of my favorites, a Burnese Mountain Dog named Ruby. Lately I've had the chance to watch my brother's two dogs (as seen in my bio pics) when he travels. I work a semi-active full time job over the week, with plenty of energy to spare when I'm not working. I am fully available over the weekends from Friday evening straight through to Sunday! I also am free on weekdays for walks or drop-ins as long as it's before 7:30 am or after 5 pm. Your dog will stay in a cozy, smoke-free condo where they are welcome on the furniture and bed. While I don't have a yard, I love taking long, frequent walks around the neighborhood. For their comfort and safety, I host one family at a time and ask that owners provide the dog's preferred bed or crate if possible
