Prithvi walked us through everything, we had a great meet and greet, and they were so responsive. We just finished our booking and every day we got updates and pictures, and immediate responses. I felt so comfortable having my dog with them, and plan on using them again. Very positive and great experience!”

About: Growing up, my mother would buy and sell dogs. It was quite traumatic. I vowed to be better than her. I've had my dog Odin for 8 years, and I will happily care for your pet as well. Fortunately, my trauma is your gain. I'm well versed on most dog breeds and I know how to research breeds if something comes up. You can sit back and relax because my care for your dog will be the best. My commute is only 15mins away. So I take care of the dogs in the morning, then I care for them again on my lunch break. Then again after work and throughout the night with my own dog, Odin. I have several dog beds and comfy spaces for them to rest. I have a zone in my home that is for dogs only. They can grab a toy from the toy box or they can look out the balcony window as shades are always open for your pupper!
“My two pups love being babysat with Amanda and her daughter. Amanda is very responsive while communicating, organized during drop off and pick up, but mostly she loves seeing my dogs when they arrive. I know my dogs are receiving loving care while they are in Amanda's home. I highly recommend Amanda for your next dog sitter!!”
“Yaqi was amazing! She took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay. I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. Everything went smoothly, and my dog came back happy and well cared for. I truly appreciate her attention and kindness. Highly recommend!”
“Cecilia is always so wonderful with my older Pitbull Nala. We just came back from a long overseas vacation, and I trusted that my dog was in good hands. She always sends us tons of pictures, is super communicative, and I'm so grateful to have her as a sitter. Highly recommend her!”

“Brianna took care of my cats while my fiancée and I were out of town. It’s a bit difficult to find sitters that can administer oral medicine to cats, and Brianna was able to meet the task, give love to my 2 cats and make sure their area was well kept. She responds quickly to texts as well. If you need a cat sitter, I would recommend her to any client!”
“Nicole did an incredible job! We were gone for two weeks in Italy and she gave us peace of mind that our two kitties were in great hands. She was attentive and communicative. We came home to two happy cats :) If you want to have someone of good character watch your precious little ones, Nicole should be your choice!”
“Karina is truly the ultimate cat lover. She sent pics and videos of the love of my life while I was out of town. She’s kept me up to date and I know she loved on my Gavriel as much as I would if I were at home. Made me feel at peace knowing he was cared for in such a great way!”
“Sarah is the very best!!!!!! We loved having her watch our cats and will definitely be booking with her again. She has great cat energy and our two boys love her. We have a litter robot and automatic pet feeder, so we really just wanted someone to check in every couple of days while we were out of the country with no cell service for over a week on our honeymoon. Sarah noticed that one of our cats messed with the feeder machine and it looked like it wasn't dispensing food the right way. Sarah went out of her way to do extra visits to make sure that the cats had food. 10/10, she also helped water my patio garden plants while we were away”
“Giada was great with my cat, Apollo. She played with him and gave him social interaction while I was gone and also administered his medication. She was very easy to work with and a great sitter!”

“Emily is the best pet sitter! She gave thorough report cards of her drop-in visits and the cutest pic updates of our two kitties. I can tell she truly loves pets and treated ours like she would her own. Will definitely hire her for any future pet sitting needs.”
“Sarah was great! She sent me multiple pictures of my kitties at every visit. Great communicator. She kept the cat areas very tidy. My cats were played with at every visit. We will definitely ask her back when we need a cat sitter.”
“Emily was great & is very sweet! My kitty was well cared for. Emily sent a few updates and a precious video. Nelly stayed there almost a week. She did fine even though Emily has her own cat, but she keeps them separated. I would definitely book her again in the future. Thank you so much, Emily.”
“Dar took great care of our cats while we were gone. She was easy to get in touch with, fast at responding to our messages, and reliable. We will definitely keep her in mind for the next time we need pet care.”

“Tina was amazing and went the extra mile for my fur-babies! She even took pictures and shared them with us after each visit. I could tell how much they liked her and enjoyed the visits while we were away. We will definitely use Tina again!”
About: I've had at least one cat for the past 15 years. Currently, I have two cats. My first experience with cats was with my grandparents' cats. Their cats were always aloof and didn't like children. My cats are fairly friendly. I cat-sit for friends and family, this included freshening water, refilling cat food, scooping the litter box, and playing with the cat for a few minutes once a day.
About: I provide loving, personalized care for cats of all personalities—from playful kittens to sweet seniors. What sets me apart is taking the time to understand each cat’s unique routine, personality, and comfort level. I know every cat is different, whether they’re social and playful or more independent and reserved. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of enrichment, attention, and respect for their boundaries. Whether it’s playtime, interactive activities, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your cat feels happy, secure, and cared for while you’re away.
“Stephanie took such good care of our kitten. We were nervous to leave her for a few days, but she was in great hands with Stephanie. I would definitely hire Stephanie again.”

“D’Artagnan is a great provider for our boy and made sure to send us updates every once in a while to let us know he was doing alright. Reassuring and understood things our boy couldn’t eat or do. Overall very satisfied and believe our boy had a great time.”

About: We have a 8 year old French bulldog (Mason) who loves other dogs and is super friendly. We have a nice fenced in yard that allows great space for the dogs to roam and soak up the sun. We never leave them unattended and will always have eyes on them. We are dog obsessed! We will treat them like family and prefer small to medium sized dogs. Frenchies very welcomed:) We work from home and have a fenced in yard. We are frequently spoiling our dog and available for walks and frequent outdoor potty breaks. We have a 6’ fenced in yard. Security cameras on yard as well. Lots of sun and a fun frenchie to keep them company who gets along great with dogs.
“So thankful for Prithvi and her husband! They were so wonderful and patient with our puppy who still has a lot of energy and is shy around new people. I feel so comfortable with her in their care, and they sent lots of photos and videos. Their dog also showed my dog the ropes, and was great for her!”
About: My journey with Rover began approximately 8 years ago and it's been a delight to meet and care for furry babies when their parents were in need of a responisible and trusted caretaker. At that time, my Lola, was just as excited to befriend and play with pals. As my Lola grew older, she developed medical issues and my attention and all the time I could give,was directed only towards her. Therefore, I took a pause to spend time with her and give her all I could. Her time, to join the rest of angel friends, came on December 17th, 2025. I came back to Rover simply because I miss the company of the most pure soul and my best friend of 13 years. I know how important it is to leave your pet in good care, cater to your best friend just as your own family and hope to meet them soon.
“This is the second time Vicki has watched Marty. Marty feels comfortable there and never comes back anxious. Vicki is a great communicator, responds quickly and is very flexible! Another great experience, we are very appreciative!”
“Andy was awesome! He took our last minute request in stride and was extremely friendly and professional. We got the perfect amount of picture updates and our doggo clearly had a fantastic day!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, I volunteered at Heartland Animal Shelter for 2+ years fostering kittens, adult cats, hospice cats, and walking working dogs of different sizes and personalities. As a pet, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone patient, loving, and attentive. I provide: ✅ Frequent photo updates ✅ Playtime and TLC ✅ Oral medication experience ✅ A calm & quiet enviroment for shy or anxious pets ✅ Reliable routines and potty breaks Your pet will receive a lot of supervision and attention. I understand every pet is different, and I always take time to understand their personality, routines, and comfort needs so they feel safe while you’re away ❤️ I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I do occasionally leave for short errands, workouts, or appointments (typically 1–3 hours), but I prioritize maintaining your pet’s routine and comfort. Boarding: We live in a two-story home, with a fully fenced private backyard that the pups love. We use hypochlorous acid spray & dr. bronners soap to disinfect and clean. Cats litter is sustainably yours and scooped 3x a day. Air purifier by the cats litter. Stainless steel water fountain that the cats and dogs absolutely love. 3-liter anti bloat dog bowl for outside with a sprinkler. We provide our own leash & poop bags- *DOGS WALKED ON HARNESS ONLY-NO COLLARS* *Cats may ocassionaly get churu frozen treats during the summer *Dogs may get some as well or cut apples PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOUD LIKE TO OPT OUT OF THIS OR IF YOUR PETS ARE CHICKEN SENSITIVE House sitting: During my visits, I prioritize safety: all doors are locked at all times, and I take great care to leave your home clean and untouched. I can also bring in packages and mail upon request. For overnight stays, *Apartments only* I provide my own food, bring my own sheet, blanket, pillow, and towel for added comfort. I may have one member of my family visit during this time. Dog walking: Harness only- no walks by collar. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and boundaries so they feel secure and cared for. I have experience with cats of all ages, including kittens, seniors, hospice kitties, and cats needing medication. For dogs, I’ve worked with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments through Heartland Animal Shelter. I have a fenced yard for dogs that'll enjoy supervised outdoor time (always safely monitored). Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I adapt to what makes them happiest.
“We are incredibly grateful for the fantastic care provided to Flynn by Mike and his family! From the moment we reached out on short notice, he was incredibly accommodating. Throughout the day, we received regular updates and adorable photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing Flynn was in great hands. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our baby—your attention to detail and thoughtful communication made all the difference!”
About: For the past 8 years, I have been providing off-and-on sitting, boarding, and walking care for various relatives' dogs. Through caring for family pets, ranging from energetic Boxers to gentle Cockapoos, I have gained extensive, hands-on experience handling different temperaments, routines, and unique canine behaviors. While household allergies mean I am unable to have a full-time dog of my own, opening up my schedule to part-time pet sitting allows me to bring my passion for dogs into my daily life. This setup works beautifully for my clients, as it means your dog receives 100% of my focused attention and care during their time with me, without competing for space with a resident pet. Because I am currently doing pet care full-time, my schedule is highly flexible and open. I am available throughout the day for morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-in visits, seven days a week. This open availability means I can easily accommodate your dog’s specific routine, feeding times, and potty schedule without rush. Whether you need a reliable midday walker while you are at the office, or a flexible sitter for last-minute weekend plans, I am here to provide consistent, dedicated care when you need it most. Safety on Walks & Drop-Ins Safety is my absolute top priority. When walking your dog, I practice active situational awareness—I monitor the environment for triggers like loud traffic, bicycles, or off-leash dogs well before they become an issue. I use a secure, two-handed leash grip and never let your dog off-leash in public spaces. If your dog is sensitive or easily spooked, I am happy to take quieter routes and use positive reinforcement to keep them feeling safe and secure. My Home Environment (For Short-Term Boarding) I live in a clean, smoke-free home with a secure, fully fenced yard where your dog can safely stretch their legs under my direct, 100% supervision. I do not have any resident dogs or cats, meaning your pup will enjoy a peaceful environment without the stress of competing for space. We do share our home with a few securely housed reptiles (a Ball Python, a DeKay's Brown Snake, and two leopard geckos) who live strictly inside their locked enclosures, completely out of reach of guest dogs. Because we manage a saliva allergy in our household, my home is kept exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and structured. We maintain excellent boundaries: guest dogs are kept out of bedrooms and are safely crated during bedtime or if I ever need to step out for a brief moment. Your dog will receive a wonderful balance of structure, safety, and a whole lot of love.
“This was our first time leaving our pup with Bob and Roger seemed so at home from the very beginning. I loved getting pictures and videos at various points during the day and felt confident Roger was in safe hands. We will be using Bob again soon for a week of boarding and I trust it will go as well as yesterday’s daycare!”
About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. In addition to owning dogs, I have cared for pets for family, friends, and neighbors over the years. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I strive to provide the love, attention, exercise, and comfort they deserve while their families are away. My goal is to help pets feel happy, secure, and cared for, while giving their owners confidence and peace of mind. As a retiree, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. My days are typically spent staying active, running errands, enjoying hobbies, and spending time outdoors, which makes it easy to incorporate dog walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and companionship into my routine. Because I am not tied to a traditional work schedule, I can accommodate a variety of walking times and provide reliable, consistent care throughout the day. I enjoy being around animals and have the availability to ensure pets receive the exercise, attention, and affection they need while their owners are at work or away from home. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their family is away. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special care needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship, while also ensuring they have fresh water and a clean environment. I respect my clients' homes by keeping everything tidy and secure and providing regular updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, healthy, and well cared for in the comfort of their own home.
“Daphne had a fabulous time with Svitlana! I was somewhat of a nervous wreck since my dog was attacked a few months ago by another dog and Svitlana was attentive to our needs and made sure Daphne still had a great time! HIGHLY recommend her!”
“My dog Toby had the best time in Thea’s care. He really enjoyed going there and was happy to meet and socialize with Osiris and Chester, his big brothers. We are definitely be booking with Thea again. Thank you:)”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 10. I have had a big and small dog in my life. I have walked, play dates, overnight watched with other people's cats or dogs. I have also fostered 3 dogs in the past who have been adopted into loving homes. I am currently a stay at home mom. We take pups for walks. We love them like they are our own pets. We make sure that the pups have a lot of playtime inside or outside to keep them engaged. I have a fenced yard for all the running and zoomies your pet needs.

About: With a lifetime of caring for pets, I bring a strong understanding of animal behavior, routine management, and hands-on care. My experience includes administering basic medications, supporting senior pets, maintaining consistent feeding and exercise schedules, and creating a safe, comfortable environment for animals of all personalities. I’m confident, calm, and attentive—skills shaped by years of living with and caring for pets every day. We have a large, pet-friendly yard and home where there is always someone home to provide love, care for, play with, and entertain your pets. I have a large pet friendly fenced in yard for dogs to run and play supervised along our two friendly dogs. I also offer a comfortable environment for your pet to rest as needed.
About: I absolutely adore animals and have a giant heart for both cats and dogs! I grew up with a beagle, a golden doodle, two labs, and two vizslas! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, so I will treat your furry family members like my own. As an experienced foster mama, I’m happy to provide walks, potty breaks, belly rubs, and sleepovers any time! I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, medical care needs, and everything in between. My house has no other pets, no kids, WFH sitters, and a fenced in yard; the perfect house to cherish your pet in! I have open availability, Monday through Sunday. My husband and I are both home for work, and can give your pet our full attention and focus! I have a fenced-in yard with lots of room to play, sniff around, and have zoomies! I’m okay with pets on the couch if that’s what they’re used to.

About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own, so I understand the joy it brings dogs to go on walks and experience all the smells throughout the neighborhood.

“Dar is my go to! She’s so communicative, punctual and detailed with all of her visits. I appreciate the extra care and attention she pays to my 2 big girls. They can be pullers and a little wild, but she handles them with care and grace.”
“Sarah has been to our house for a meet and greet and a walk with my two dogs. She has been great with communication prior to and following both appointments. She also had a wonderful way with my polar opposite personality dogs. She gave my people-timid boy the space he needed to feel comfortable and trusting while engaging yet supporting the appropriate boundaries I need to practice with my overly exuberant girl. I'm looking forward to Sarah spending more time at my house caring for my sweet best pals.”
“I’m grateful I found Kelly to walk my 7 year old lab and hope to work with her again. Her communication was excellent and she took good care of my dog. I would highly recommend!”
About: I am a dog owner for the past 8 years and own two Setter pups. Friends have entrusted me with their dogs for petsitting and dog walking - in some occasions I would have as many as 4 dogs with me, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! As a dog parent I know how important is to have someone you trust with your baby, I will treat your dog as my own, making sure your dog is safe and happy! My work schedule varies week by week between office and home, which allows me some flexibility. When in the area, I am flexible to go on a walk with your pup to get some fresh air or do a drop in visit to spend some time with them. When I drop in to check on your pup or take on a walk, I will always follow your instructions closely and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. During walks, I will keep a close eye on them, always be on leash, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise based on their energy level. Afterward, provide a quick pupdate so you know your pup is happy and well taken care of.

About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I could remember. I had a family dog that I made sure to take care of, along with neighbors in my apartment asking me to help take care of their fur babies with anything they might need. I worked at a veterinary clinic before, so basic medical needs are no extra hassle at all! Working at a doggy daycare has allowed me to work with all different types of dogs with so many different temperaments and personalities, allowing me to know how to keep your fur baby entertained and feeling loved in any way they need! Im a current full time student at Illinois State Univeristy, but I am home for the summer with plenty of time to look after your fur babies! When going into a clients home my first step is building trust with your fur babies, I want them to still feel comfortable and loved in their home with me in it temporarily; keeping them as low stressed as possible. All pets are different and have different personalities, I’m more than willing to adapt to any, whether your fur baby needs to run around the yard, go on a walk, have their food prepared in a very specific way, or snuggle on the couch, I strive to meet all of those needs for them.

“Hannah is wonderful with dogs. Our dog stayed three days with her and seemed to have a great time. Hannah shared many photos with us during his stay and kept us updated along the way.”
“Prithvi and Varun were truly great!! This was our first time using Rover, and we were unsure of the whole process. Prithvi walked us through everything, we had a great meet and greet, and they were so responsive. We just finished our booking and every day we got updates and pictures, and immediate responses. I felt so comfortable having my dog with them, and plan on using them again. Very positive and great experience!”
“Thomas and Kelly were super communicative and were able to accommodate my request on short notice. I got daily photos updates and I can tell she was in great hands. Thank you both for taking care of Emery!”
“Stephanie was awesome - she took great care of our dog. She provided excellent communication and was flexible and accommodating with our drop off and pick up times. I appreciated the fact that they have a huge fenced yard. Thank you!”
“D’artagnan took great care of Yeti for a fairly extended stay. I will be booking again with him! He was responsive to any requests or questions that I had and was proactive in sending pictures and updates of how my dog was doing. He even worked with her a little bit on leash pulling and we talked about what he had seen in other dogs that might help Yeti. Highly recommend!”
“Our 1 year old puppy, Cali, had an amazing time here! She went on long walks, played outside and had fun with their dog, Bentley. She cannot wait time to go back again!”
“My dog Zoey stayed with Bob for five nights. He sent daily updates and and communicated well. I could tell Zoey had a blast from the pictures and videos he sent me. He even did some training work with her, and we are going to use him in the future!”
“My two pups love being babysat with Amanda and her daughter. Amanda is very responsive while communicating, organized during drop off and pick up, but mostly she loves seeing my dogs when they arrive. I know my dogs are receiving loving care while they are in Amanda's home. I highly recommend Amanda for your next dog sitter!!”
“Yaqi was amazing! She took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay. I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. Everything went smoothly, and my dog came back happy and well cared for. I truly appreciate her attention and kindness. Highly recommend!”
“Kyle and his family did a great job taking care of my dog Sugar. My mom passed away this week and he was available on very short notice, which I am grateful for. Anyway very communicative with pictures, etc, my experience justifies the other positive reviews... great person and family to take care of your dog!”
“Kaylee is the absolute best!! She cares for our puppy weekly but had him for a very long weekend and provided some many great updates and even when our guy was anxious - she was so attentive!!! The best of the best.”
“Yamile and her family and her pets have just been amazing. Yamile is Extremely responsive, followed a special diet, took her for walks , gave me frequent updates and generally took great care of my little girl while we were away!!! In fact she seemed sad to leave when it was time for her to come home. We have already booked a follow up stay!! Thanks yamile - you have been a life saver:)”
“Gracie had a wonderful time. She was very, very well taken care of. I had pictures at least twice a day that made me feel that she was so safe. She seemed happy and having a very good time and very comfortable. I will not hesitate to use Susan again if I need Gracie to be watched, they’re very nice people. I feel that I have also made new friends for life.”

“This was my first time leaving Whiskey with someone I didn't know. Erena was great! I received updates and pictures throughout the day which was perfect. Whiskey had a great time and will definitely book again”
“Michelle was a great dog sitter!!! We did a meet and greet before to make sure the her dog and our dog meshed okay. That put me at ease going into our vacation. Also, it gave us some time to get to know each other. We got daily messages and pics that were fun to see. She has a fenced in yard and deck where the dogs like to pal around. Rosie seemed right at home at her house. Michelle is very communicative and very on top of your pups needs. I can tell she’s a true dog lover!”
