“Leslie has watched our 2 dogs a couple times. She’s very kind and our dogs love staying with her. She sends pictures and gives us updates regularly. Her communication is excellent. We HIGHKY recommend her.”
“I can't imagine a better person to leave our Parker Boy with! Heather took the best care of our dog and sent pictures and videos to keep our minds at ease while we were apart from him. She made him feel like a part of the family and made sure to do whatever she could to make him comfortable. We would recommend Heather to anyone looking for a sitter for their furry friends!!”
“Nichole is wonderful! She took very good care of our dogs for our week long vacation. My yorkie loved her son, who was very sweet to her. Nichole sent pictures and kept us up-to-date on everything. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Joy was fantastic, very personable and took great care of my dogs! She is flexible with meet and greets and professional during the whole process (no matter how many questions/directions I threw at her!). We will absolutely book with her again!”
“Danielle is just fantastic. Our dog runs to her as soon as he sees her and clearly has the best time at her house. She is so fantastic with updates, pics and videos too! Thank you so much Danielle!”
“Julia was fantastic! She took such great care of my dog, did more than I even expected of her. And kept up with any questions I may have had while I was gone and updated me with photos. Would book again. I could tell my dog fell in love with her and her dog while I was away.”
About: I've had family dogs as long as I can remember and enjoy their company. From puppy to senior I have experience with pet needs and would love to treat your furry friend as our own! Currently available to walk in the late afternoons and evenings on the weekends and evenings only on week days. Only providing dog walking services for now. I have experience feeding and walking my family pets but also enjoy playing with them as well. I love exploring new places with my pets like taking them to the beach for example and enriching their lives with new experiences.
“Lindsey was incredible with our 7-month-old German Shepherd, Luna! Luna is usually scared of people when she first meets them, but Lindsey quickly made her feel comfortable and at ease. This was Luna’s first time away from us, and Lindsey went above and beyond to ensure she was happy and well cared for. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and even sent us regular photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Luna was in great hands. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and Lindsey will absolutely be our first choice if we need a sitter again. Highly recommend!”
“Used Anna to keep my dog Boomer for 9 days and everything was perfect. She sent updated pictures and videos Boomer looked like he was having a great time like he was at home. We're most definitely going to use them again everytime we go out of town in the future. It's his new home away from home and I swear I think they even gave him a bath.”
“Rolanda was amazing! She kept me updated and sent pictures of Chloe throughout her stay! I can tell that Chloe was comfortable with her and she came back just as happy as she was before i dropped her off! I would definitely book with Rolanda again!”
“Leo and Mickey loved staying at Barbara's house. They said they felt right at home.( which may or may not be a good thing). They know if their human family goes away again they do not have to be afraid. If Barbara is home they are packing their things and going to her house!”
“Thank you for doing such an amazing job. I was so impressed. We will definitely be booking again. Jack had so much fun and I can tell he was well taken care of. We can’t thank you enough.”
“Debra and Mike are just the best with my little old lady. They play with her and take her on walks. She loves all the snuggles and attention they give her. We will always book with them for our girl. The best for our needs!”
“I could not have found anyone more perfect to watch Corey! I can tell Monica and Daniel treated Corey as their own. I was so happy to see them playing with her and taking her places to run around, even during the cold, snowy days. The daily pictures let me know Corey was in good hands and on her own fun vacation!”
“John and Julie were fabulous with our pup. They sent us updates and pics on how she was doing while we were away. Seemed like she fit in right with their family! We will definitely use their services again!”
“Our dog had so much fun playing in the yard with the other dogs! It was very easy and convenient to drop her off and pick her up. After seeing the backyard and meeting Elanore and her husband I wasn’t worried at all about our pup. They sent us updates and overall was a great experience.”

About: I've been caring for animals most of my life, from growing up with family dogs to being a dedicated cat owner for the past four years. Caring for pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and giving each animal the love and attention they deserve. Although I'm new to Rover, I'm committed to providing dependable, personalized care and treating every pet like they're part of my own family. I'll always follow your pet's routine, keep you updated with photos, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm available Monday through Saturday during the morning and afternoon for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I have a flexible part-time schedule, so I'm happy to work with your pet's routine whenever possible. Sundays are my day off, so I'm unavailable that day. When caring for your pet in your home, I'll follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of playtime, walks (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I'll also keep your home tidy, clean up after your pet, and provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for in the place they know best.
About: Taking care of your animal will be my number one priority. I love animals, I will be more than attentive to their needs and accommodate anything you would like. I’m available any time you need me and I will take in any animal, big, small, furry, hairless, you name it! I love them all. I’ve had animals my whole life so I know how to take care of dogs, I’ve had cats now for 5 years and kittens and it’s a handful but it has taught me so many things needed to be a perfect sitter! I love getting pets toys, and fancy food sometimes to spoil them so expect that (if it’s fone with the owner) of course. I can’t wait to meet you and your lovely pet!
“It was our very first time using this service and we were a bit nervous. Jeff was available even on the short notice. From the first time we met Jeff we felt good. He is an experienced sitter. Cats felt comfortable around him. Jeff was very responsible. He ensured we received photos from each visit. Cats looked good and relaxed. Definitely will be calling him again in the future.”
About: Cats have always been a special part of my life, from growing up with them to now sharing my home with my own two beloved cats. Living with cats has taught me to appreciate their unique personalities, respect their boundaries, and recognize the little changes that can signal they need extra attention. I understand that cats thrive on consistency, patience, and a calm environment, especially when their people are away. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers quiet companionship, I'll make sure they receive attentive care, affection on their terms, and the routine they're accustomed to. My goal is to help your cat feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you're back home, while giving you confidence that they're in caring, capable hands.
About: I’ve had my own cats for over a decade. I know how to engage their playful behavior with toys and cat nip. I’ve had years of experiences to draw from, and dealt with everything from fleas and ticks to old age and emergency clean up of pet accidents.
“Alexa was a perfect sitter for us! She is professional, nice, and kept us updated with messages and pictures. And most importantly, our cat absolutely loved her! We will be using her services again.”
“Samantha is the best! So greatful she was our sitter. Samantha followed all the instructions I had to take care of my senior (18 yr) cat. Her and Noel became friends after a few days. I would definitely trust Samantha with my pets. She was even nice enough to leave additional lights on knowing we were going to come home late.”
About: Hello! I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years — including rescues, seniors, and pups with lots of energy! I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with feeding routines, meds, and special care needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I promise to keep you updated with cute pictures and messages throughout their stay. Your fur baby’s comfort and safety come first! 🐕✨ I am currently working part time. Which is Tues-Sat 4pm-11pm tho so I’m anytime free before then. & I am off every Sunday and Monday I rent a home with a fenced in backyard. I do currently have 2 dogs. (Chihuahua mixes and a heeler mix.) they are crate trained so if you’re more comfortable with them staying separated from your baby(ies) that is absolutely no problem, depending on the duration of the stay.
“Hannah was amazing! This was my first time hiring a sitter off Rover and naturally I was a bit nervous to do so but when I came across her profile and saw how much experience she has with all kinds of animals, I knew my kitties would be taken great care of! She was always available and dropped in every day to give me updates and pictures. I would 1000% hire her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a 5 star sitter! Your babies will get the best care in Hannah's hands! :)”
About: What sets me apart as a cat sitter is my understanding that cats thrive on consistency, patience, and respect for their space. With over 5 years of experience caring for cats, I’ve worked with a wide range of personalities from playful kittens to senior cats, from affectionate lap cats to shy, independent observers. That experience has taught me how to read subtle cues, adapt quickly, and create a calm, secure environment in any home. I take the time to learn your cat’s unique preferences, routines, and boundaries so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I follow a structured daily routine to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible. Each visit includes fresh food and water, litter box cleaning and monitoring, a wellness check, and quality time tailored to your cat whether that’s interactive play, enrichment activities, brushing, or quiet companionship. If medication is required, I carefully follow instructions to ensure it’s given properly and on schedule. I’m highly observant and attentive to detail. I notice small changes in appetite, behavior, or energy levels and communicate promptly if anything seems off. I don’t just “stop by” I make each visit intentional and meaningful so your cat feels cared for, not just supervised. Communication is a priority for me. You’ll receive thoughtful daily updates with photos so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away. I also treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and organized. Most importantly, I genuinely care. After five years of cat sitting, one thing has remained constant. I treat every cat as if they were my own. Their comfort, safety, and emotional well-being always come first.

“Danielle did an amazing job! It was our first time using Rover and leaving our dog somewhere and she made the process as smooth as could be. She walked us through her house , how she handles the dog , and was so patient with us and answered all our questions. Oscar had a blast and can't wait to book her again!”
“Rachel was amazing. I received so many pictures. My pup was well taken care of. I would recommend Rachel to anyone who wants a safe comfortable animal lover to care for their pets.”
About: Lifelong animal lover skilled in river walks, companion feedings, and earning a sly cat’s trust. I will make sure your pets are happy, SAFE, and completely spoiled while you’re away! I only care for one “pack” at a time, which means your pets get my undivided attention and personalized care- whether they are boarding or just visiting for the day. After a recent career shift, I’ve found myself with more flexibility in my schedule—and I’ve decided to dedicate that time to doing something I LOVE! I’m excited to spend my days surrounded by wagging tails, happy purrs and plenty of personality. Your pet’s safety is my priority. I closely supervise all outdoor time—my yard is unfenced, so your dog will never be outside unattended. I use a secure ground lead (rated for 125 lbs) or a long leash held in hand. I prefer dogs to wear a harness while in my care. On walks, I stay alert to our surroundings, watch for potential triggers, and use redirection when needed. I’ll also follow your pet’s routine and your preferences as closely as possible to help make their stay comfortable and stress-free.
“Noel was amazing! It was our first time leaving our puppy with someone during the day. He was so excited to see her every morning. We cannot recommend Noel enough. Will be using her in the future!!!!”
“Joy was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She provided a safe, fun, and caring environment, and it was clear how much she truly loves animals. My pup came home happy and relaxed. This was my first time using Rover and Joy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter! 🐾”
“It was a relief with all of our funeral planning taking place in Chicago, to know that Ms. Bernice was going to take care of Niko. This was his first time at any day care and it seems that this will help us as we work with him to socialize with other dogs. Overall, she was very cooperative, reliable and conveniently located to our hotel. We would use her services again.”
“Bridget did an awesome job with Ardal! She took great care of him and sent me a few updates, which I appreciated. I have a very tired, very happy pup and will definitely be requesting future daycare appointments!”
About: My husband and I are very unique. We would have a farm if we could. We live in a smaller home, but have so much love between our pets and kids. I hope we can raise our 3 kids to love animals as much as we do. I have been a pet sitter for about 15 years, but grew up in a house of animals. My family's huge animal lovers. I have stayed for weeks at a time with families, dog walked, issued medicine to pets, and just simply stopped in to let them out and hang for a bit. We have had dogs and cats stay with us while families are on vacation and made it work perfectly. My kids knowing they are small, are great w the animals too. I am just excited to make your fur baby feel safe and loved while you're away. *Update: We just added bathing and nail clipping as an add on option! My husband's mom owned the Canine Clipper that was in business for over 30 years. He grew up as cheap labor for 15 years in the shop washing, drying and trimming nails of any cats and dogs that came. We do not offer grooming services as that is not in our wheelhouse. Have you pet come home feeling and smelling fresh! I just had our new baby born on August 8th this year. I have three boys that I am obsessed with. I love being a boy mama 💙 I am a personal trainer but have cut back on hours so I can hang w my kids while they are young. I sometimes forget about how I was a nanny for 10 years and a dog sitter for about 15. I would love to do my passion again knowing I have so much more free time at home. My 5 year old is in school all day, my 3 year old has preschool twice a week for 2 hrs, and my newborn just goes for the ride. I'm always home on the weekends, and during the week I'm always looking to do something-which I would love to show my kids how to treat animals. If your pet is not good w kids, I can also drop them off w their grandma for a bit. I always make it happen ❤️ She loves some grandson time. All our pets are spoiled because they are our family too. Our dogs have dog beds all around, even though they sleep on couches and beds w us. The cats have cat towers and toys and get the free range of the house. We used to have a nanny because I wanted someone here for the kids, but also the pets. It always made me feel better knowing someone would always be there for them too.
“Eloise was great! She has a nice fenced yard that our outdoor loving pup loved. Eloise is clearly a kind dog lover who appreciated our sweet girl. Eloise was flexible and understanding whem our plans inadvertently changed. I highly Recommend her !!”

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Family and friends have relied on me for decades to take care of their animals. Growing up on a farm helped give me a lifelong affinity for animals. I’m a teacher who is off all summer. I have plenty of time to fill and would love to look after your animals, either in my home, as a drop in, or just a walk. I have a fenced in backyard, two amazing labs who love other dogs, and a wife and daughter who love dogs as much as I do.

About: ‼️Please read entirety of bio prior to sending a booking request Please note: My Rover profile information may not always be the most up to date, as I also own and operate my own pet care business - but I still get notifications here! Please message me so we can discuss your specific needs and availability! Hi, I’m Bee! I’m a medically retired police officer turned professional pet care provider. Pet care is my full-time work, not a side hobby. I take a calm, structured, safety-first approach and focus on low-stress care that allows pets to feel secure, respected, and comfortable. I have years of hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including seniors, rescues, anxious dogs, puppies, large breeds, and special-needs pets. ⸻ What I Offer • In-home dog boarding in a low-volume, structured environment • Structured dog daycare with supervised play and rest breaks • Drop-in visits for feeding, potty breaks, enrichment, and medications • Dog walks tailored to your dog’s comfort, energy level (must not pull heavily on leash) • Care for seniors, rescues, anxious, and special-needs dogs • Slow, intentional introductions and individualized care plans • Solo or one-on-one care options when appropriate for daycare and boarding • Real-time updates with plenty of photos and detailed written notes ‼️I do not provide boarding or daycare for cats, and I do not offer overnight stays in clients’ homes. ‼️Meet and Greets are mandatory to schedule any service. ‼️My two dogs, Trooper and Moose, will NOT be present for the meet and greet for boarding and daycare ‼️Dates are not reserved unless a deposit is prepaid in advance. ‼️Dogs must be crate trained to stay at Bee’s Bed and Barkfast daycare and boarding. This is a non negotiable for safety, feeding, rest and safe transitions. ‼️Boarding can be booked anytime, as long as the dates are within the next 3 months. I do not book out more than 3 months in advance. I am available generally anytime between sunrise and sunset. Due to a vision disability, I may occasionally need to adjust timing on very rainy days, and I do not drive after dark. If weather requires a schedule shift, I’ll always communicate in advance and ensure your pet still receives attentive, high-quality care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my top priorities. I provide intentional, structured care designed to reduce stress, prevent issues before they happen, and create a calm, predictable experience for both pets and owners. This applies whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or in mine. How I care for pets & homes: • Safety-first, prevention-focused handling at all times • Calm routines that prioritize rest, enrichment, and emotional regulation • Respectful care of your home… clean, secure, and exactly how you left it • Doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions double-checked every visit • Clear, proactive communication so you’re never left wondering how things are going Boarding & Daycare Environment: • Low-volume, home-based care, not a brick and mortar storefront or warehouse-style daycare • Structured daycare with supervised interactions and enforced rest breaks • Slow, intentional introductions tailored to each dog’s comfort level • Solo or one-on-one care available for dogs who need space or prefer independence at an increased rate • Crate training mandatory to ensure smooth transitions and safety How I differ from other sitters: • I do not force interactions or “let dogs work it out” • I do not overbook or rotate large groups of unfamiliar dogs • I do not take a one-size-fits-all approach Instead, I focus on individualized care, clear boundaries, and calm structure, the kind of environment where dogs can truly settle, decompress, and feel secure.
“Very pleasant and flexible. They took my pup on walks and sent pictures. The children seemed to love my dog as well. There may be other dogs on property at the same time in case that's an issue for your dog.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for my entire life. I’ve spent many years working at a vet clinic so I am comfortable with all animals.

About: I have taken care of all sizes and temperaments of animals for 6 years, no one is too much to handle!

About: With over 5 years of hands-on dog watching experience, I provide more than supervision I provide stability, attentiveness, and genuine care. Over the years, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and ages. From energetic puppies who need structured activity to senior dogs who thrive on a calm, predictable pace, I understand how important it is to adapt to each dog’s individual needs. What truly sets me apart is the balance I bring between structure and affection. Dogs feel most secure when their routine stays consistent, so I make it a priority to maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible. My daily routine typically includes on-time feedings, fresh water refresh, bathroom breaks, and exercise tailored to your dog’s energy level. Whether that means long walks, active play sessions, enrichment activities, or simply relaxed companionship, I adjust based on what your dog needs that day. Beyond the basics, I focus on mental stimulation and emotional well-being. I reinforce positive behaviors, engage in interactive play, and ensure your dog has both active time and calm downtime. I work overnight shifts during the week, and I dedicate my weekends fully to pet care. This allows me to provide focused, unrushed attention from Friday through Sunday. I intentionally keep my weekend availability open for pet sitting so I can give each pet consistent, quality care without overbooking. Weekend care includes structured routines with feedings, walks, playtime, enrichment, and calm companionship tailored to your pet’s needs. I make sure their schedule stays consistent and stress-free while you’re away. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep everything as normal and stress-free as possible. Pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I prioritize maintaining their routine, respecting their space, and creating a calm, consistent presence while you’re away.
About: I have always loved animals, especially dogs! I am a responsible, energetic, caring person that would love to take care of your pet! Your pets are part of the family, just like mine. I have experience dog sitting small to medium sized dogs. I am not strong enough to walk or care for larger dogs (unless of course they are great on the leash walking). I do not discriminate against any kind of breeds. I have two dogs of my own that are chihuahua and chihuahua mix. I have cared for small chihuahuas to larger pit bulls. Just message me with your needs as I work part time as a dental hygienist so I will work around my hours. I, also, volunteer at a wild animal rescue where I get to care for raccoons, foxes, deer, possums, squirrels and rabbits under the supervision of a veterinarian. I love animals of all kinds! Caring for animals is a passion of mine !
About: I truly love pets and enjoy taking care of them. I regularly care for my brother’s and my boyfriend’s dogs, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and giving lots of attention and affection. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs! Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I’m already used to caring for dogs on a daily basis. I plan my schedule around their needs, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and relaxation. I care for pets in their home by following their routine, providing feeding, walks, playtime, attention, potty breaks and making sure they feel safe and loved.
About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets with different needs and routines. I have taken care of a 1-year-old cat along with 3 other adult cats, including a cat who required at least 30 minutes of playtime and interaction every day. I have also cared for a large dog who ate home-cooked soup mixed with his food at specific feeding times, as well as a husky who stayed in an air-conditioned dog house unit and required daily vitamins and attentive care. I am good at following direction for the desired care you and your pet need. I work remotely and any activities I plan I would plan around a schedule if at all with the pet in mind. I will plan in advance for the openings I have in my schedule to permit me to be with the pet. I typically stay in the pets home to create a less stressful environment for the pet and go about its daily routine as instructed by the pet owner. I will stay as long as required by the pet owner or stay in a guest bedroom all day depending on what makes the pet owner most comfortable with.
About: I absolutely love animals and will make sure your pup is well taken care of and send you updates as frequently as you would like I am available at all times as I work from home and my job is very flexible! Please let me know your needs as I am more than happy to help! Your pet will be treated as if they are my own. Loved and fully cared for and completely attended to! Any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask and I am also flexible with times and availability

“Leslie has watched our 2 dogs a couple times. She’s very kind and our dogs love staying with her. She sends pictures and gives us updates regularly. Her communication is excellent. We HIGHKY recommend her.”
“I can't imagine a better person to leave our Parker Boy with! Heather took the best care of our dog and sent pictures and videos to keep our minds at ease while we were apart from him. She made him feel like a part of the family and made sure to do whatever she could to make him comfortable. We would recommend Heather to anyone looking for a sitter for their furry friends!!”
“Nichole is wonderful! She took very good care of our dogs for our week long vacation. My yorkie loved her son, who was very sweet to her. Nichole sent pictures and kept us up-to-date on everything. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Joy was fantastic, very personable and took great care of my dogs! She is flexible with meet and greets and professional during the whole process (no matter how many questions/directions I threw at her!). We will absolutely book with her again!”
“Julia was fantastic! She took such great care of my dog, did more than I even expected of her. And kept up with any questions I may have had while I was gone and updated me with photos. Would book again. I could tell my dog fell in love with her and her dog while I was away.”
“Lindsey was incredible with our 7-month-old German Shepherd, Luna! Luna is usually scared of people when she first meets them, but Lindsey quickly made her feel comfortable and at ease. This was Luna’s first time away from us, and Lindsey went above and beyond to ensure she was happy and well cared for. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and even sent us regular photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Luna was in great hands. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and Lindsey will absolutely be our first choice if we need a sitter again. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog had so much fun playing in the yard with the other dogs! It was very easy and convenient to drop her off and pick her up. After seeing the backyard and meeting Elanore and her husband I wasn’t worried at all about our pup. They sent us updates and overall was a great experience.”
“We went on a week long vacation with our dog in April’s care. We always knew our pet was cared for and loved. April did an excellent job updating us with pics and status updates. I’m pretty sure our dog had a better time than we did! We will 100% have April watch our pet next time!”
“I can't recommend Karen enough as a dog sitter! She has taken exceptional care of my dog, Django, and I always feel at ease knowing he's in her hands. From the moment I met her, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. Karen goes above and beyond, ensuring that Django gets plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. She provides regular updates and photos, which I truly appreciate. Django always comes home happy and well-cared for after his time with her.”
“It’s so cute to see my Chaseypoo interact with Amia and Joshua, the kids and their pups. They adore her and she comes home happy and tired and ready for a nap.”
“Noel and his family were wonderful. Everyone gave Tom love and affection. I have no doubt that he felt very well looked after. Every day she didn't hesitate to respond to my messages and send photos. It reassures us a lot when we know that our pet friends are in good hands.”
“People in the Lincolnway/Tinley Park area, these are a great couple who love dogs. Big yard, friendly dogs to pal around with your dog, assurance by video. Will use again. Lucy gives five tail wags”
“Sheree was a great dog sitter while we were out of town. She kept us informed of everything via texts, pictures, and videos. It was very calming knowing that our pup was in good hands while we were out of town. I highly recommend her services if you need an experienced dog sitter! She is absolutely phenomenal”
“Bridget is amazing. Our dog hates to stay anywhere without us. She wont eat. She just lays around and mopes. We planned a 10 day vacation and needed someone that knew how to take care of anxious dogs. We could not believe our luck when we found Bridget. She brought Shelly into her home and treated her like one of her own. She sent us updates and pictures daily. It felt like we dropped Shelly off at doggy camp. She was comfortable the first day there. She ate, played with the other dogs, went for walks, watched tv, and got lots oflove. It was such a relief! We will definitely be repeat clients.”
