“Nicole was incredible with our border collie! She made sure we got daily updates, ensured our baby had the best time and made him feel as safe and comfortable as possible. We look forward to using her in the future!”
“Soojin is an amazing doggy sitter! My pup Toby loved her so much, the next time I brought him to stay with her he was practically jumping out of the car window to jump in her arms. She truly loves dogs and caring for them and will treat your pup as if it's her own. 10/10! Will absolutely bring Toby back to stay with her when I need a sitter.”
“Jessica is fantastic! She took our pup to the park and on her errands which made him very happy. Very communicative too the entire time with photos and videos. And she takes excellent photos to boot!”
“Julie is fantastic with dogs. She takes great care of Harlie, as if she were her own. Her sweet Pug Daisy is such a lovely companion for my dog. Such a great dog sitter!”
“We had a great experience with Meghan! Freddy was happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands and would happily book again.”
“Michael and Janet have been wonderfully patient and compassionate with my two Chihuahuas, one of whom is elderly and has special dietary needs while the other is a rescue still getting acclimated. They took the time to win my dogs' trust, providing pets and outside time in a crate-free environment. I feel lucky to have found them!”
“We were so happy with the care that was provided for our two dogs. We received pictures of our dogs. They looked happy. She alway went the extra mile for our dogs. One of the dogs was licking his paw alot and she provided care for him. She kept us informed and we were confident of her care. We are so thankful and will definitely recommend her with your dog.”
“Kyle was amazing and went above and beyond in taking care of my puppy. Would rate him the best in business!! Thanks once again Kyle!!!!!! looking forward to boarding Snoopy with you in the future.”
“As usual, Balaji and his wife took care of Bunny as if their own pet . Feeding lunch and dinner by hand including required medication. Bunny enjoyed her company with Mocha. They played all the time together as siblings. Thank You Balaji and Sanna . Kali& Bhagyam”
“Thao has kept my Golden Retriever, Sully, for two different stays when I have needed to board him when my husband and I travel. Once was for a 4 day stint and the other time was for a short weekend. She is very communicable via cell phone and responds to messages very quickly and responsibly. She has sent me updates of Sully with photos and videos and been very nice. It's been really great to be able to leave home and feel confident and trust that my dog is in good hands. She has even come to my home to pick him up before when I haven't had time to drop him off, and she's been very flexible and easy to work with. If you need to leave your pet with someone when you are vacationing, I would HIGHLY recommend her! I have been very pleased with both of my experiences with Thao and Sully always seems excited to see her, which says a lot. Thank you for taking such great care of my fur baby, Thao!!”
“Jean is caring and very attentive to my dog. She gave multiple updates throughout his time there and paid attention to his behavior and asked questions. Very highly recommended”
“Amy & Lamar took amazing care of our dog! We will continue to book with them. They send us photos/videos daily which is so nice to see. Our pup was excited to be back with them!”
“We had a wonderful experience! Bingo is a shy and cautious dog, but she made him feel comfortable and took such great care of him. She kept us updated throughout his stay, sent us his photos and videos, and was always easy to communicate with, which we really appreciated. It was clear that Bingo was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!!”
“Luciana is an absolutely amazing sitter! My pup stayed with her for three weeks, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She and her whole family treated my dog like one of their own, giving her so much love, care, and attention every single day. I truly appreciated the regular updates and the peace of mind knowing my pup was happy and well cared for while I was away. I would trust Luciana with my dog again without hesitation. I highly, highly recommend Luciana to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy sitter. She is simply the best!”
About: I’m Valeriia - an animal lover to the core. Growing up, our home was always full of pets, so caring for animals has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. Whether it’s an energetic dog or an independent cat, I love caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. And yes - I can absolutely handle a strong puller on a leash without breaking a sweat! 🐾 I am relatively new to offering dog walking and boarding professionally (turns out we just didn’t know this could be a job sooner!), but our first clients came through word of mouth-which I think says a lot. Now we’re excited to connect with even more pet families through Rover. 🥰 When your dog stays with me, they’ll be in a smoke-free, child-free home where they’ll feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I live on the first floor with a spacious living room plenty of room to play and relax. While I don’t have a backyard, our community features a beautiful park and lake, making it the perfect place for calm, enjoyable walks. I am carefully follow every owner’s instructions, administering medications if needed, and sending frequent photo and video updates - so many that you’ll barely feel like you were apart 📸 One more thing: my English is still a work in progress, but don’t worry - communication is never a problem. And as for the pets? They understand me just fine. 🐾 My primary job is fully remote, so I’m home for most of the day. From time to time, I may step out for a couple of dog walks, but those are always short, and I’m never away for long. Because I live in an apartment community, it’s important that pets are comfortable staying home alone for short periods without excessive barking or howling, out of respect for our neighbors. The rest of the time, I’m almost always at home, so your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout their stay. I always follow the routine your pet is used to and carefully stick to all of your instructions, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, or any special requests. I also send regular photo and video updates, so you’ll always know what your pet is up to and can enjoy your time away without worrying.
“udith was wonderful with Linny! My biggest concern when using Rover is that Linny tends not to eat when he's in a new environment. Judith treated him like he was her own and made sure he was eating properly. Whenever he wasn't interested in food, she spent extra time playing with him to help build up his appetite. It was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being. I would definitely book with Judith again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter.”

“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!”
“Once again, Anna went above and beyond looking after our sweet pets! I love that she always sent us daily updates on the visits and so much appreciated the sweet photos she took. She turned on & off our lights, opened & closed our curtains too.”
“My rover experience with Denis was excellent and I would definitely book with him again. While I did not meet Nikki, it was very nice to know they work as a team and that my pets would have an extra person to care for them! Denis was kind enough to do a meet and greet despite my cats being shy, he asked pertinent questions to their care, which I greatly appreciated, and made me feel extra comfortable knowing he was prepared and experienced. His updates throughout the booking put me at ease, and I came back to happy cats, which is all I could ask for.”
“Jason was absolutely fantastic! His check-in updates were detailed and reassuring, with photos and notes that showed the care he put in. He won over our usually shy cat, Puddles, which says a lot about his patience and kindness. Both Storm and Puddles were clearly well cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Arianna did great with Porkchop! She was punctual to his feeding times and he looked happy and healthy when we returned. We will keep her in mind for future bookings!”
“Chloe gave great care to my senior, diabetic kitty, Lily. Lily even let her Chloe give her a couple chin scratches which is high praise! I would recommend Chloe to friends and family and I can't wait to have her back.”
“Diana was awesome dropping in on our 2 cats. Responded quickly when we needed last minute help before going on vacation and was very patient working through some initial trouble getting in the over the phone.”
About: Cats have been a part of my life for the past 16 years, and caring for them is truly one of my greatest joys. I've had the privilege of caring for my own cats as well as the beloved cats of family and friends, giving me experience with a wide variety of personalities and needs. From energetic kittens and affectionate cuddlers to independent cats, shy rescues, and senior companions, I understand that every cat is unique and deserves individualized care. I have also volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I helped clean, socialize, play with, and care for cats while they waited for their forever homes. This experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a calm, stress-free environment so each cat can feel safe and comfortable. In addition to my cat experience, I've spent many years caring for dogs, including administering daily medications and working with dogs experiencing separation anxiety and trauma. These experiences have strengthened my ability to recognize animal behavior, build trust at each pet's own pace, and provide compassionate, attentive care. Whether your cat loves to play, cuddle, observe from a distance, or simply enjoys a consistent routine, I'll respect their personality and make sure they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while you're away. My goal is for both you and your cat to feel comfortable knowing they're in caring, reliable hands.
“Nataliia has come to our house to do drop in visits with our cat for two separate vacations. She does a great job of caring for our cat and for completing any tasks that requires. Nataliia is trust-worthy, timely and a really sweet girl. We will use her again for our future trips!”
About: I have a 20 pound black cat and I'm literally in love ( the vet calls him Lebron James ) . I have been a cat lover since the day I was born. I have also watched my female cat Stacey give birth to kittens and can take full care of cats of all ages. Cats are cute adorable and the best little creatures ever.
“Absolutely wonderful pet sitter! Danielle took great care of my cat and kept me updated with photos and messages. I would definitely book again and highly recommend!”
About: I had 2 dogs growing up, and helped my parents take care of them. My parents were busy most days, so I was the one who would take them for walks. My dog recently got his teeth removed, so I also learned how to take care of him and how to feed him properly with that in mind. I’ve also had to take care of both dogs when my parents are out of town, taking them outside, administering medication, and feeding and providing water for them. I have done the same for my grandparents. I love animals a lot, and I volunteered at animal shelters in high school and can properly care for and clean up after many pets.. I’m currently taking all of my classes online, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I can be available at any needed times, both weekdays and weekends. I will provide food and water according to instructions. I will keep a clean, safe, and loving environment, and ensure that they get time to play and exercise regularly. I’m great at following instructions, and I am very attentive to any special requests that are given by the owner.
“Beth is so wonderful with my cats. They are so happy when she comes! I really appreciate how reliable she is and completely trust her caring for them. I highly recommend Beth. Thank you!”
“Christina was amazing!! We knew she was special when she got our very timid Bodhi to come out of hiding on her very first visit!! She sent lots of photos and updates, and our spoiled kitties were clearly very happy and pampered in her care. She made us feel a lot less guilty about leaving them, haha. We would highly recommend her, and would definitely have her look after our kitties again 😊”
About: I have never had to take care of cats before, however, from experience with my friends cats I have learned how much I love cats and what cats need to feel happy. I have also spent 4 months in Athens Greece where street cats are everywhere and many occasions I fed and took care of some of the neighborhood cats.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for 35 years. I currently have a German Shepherd and a domestic short hair cat. I volunteer at the humane society socializing cats. I am retired and have time and love enough to care for your small dog or cat. We travel a bit but am available when in town. I’m available for drop in visits or overnights. I am experienced keeping an active dog entertained. I can take small dogs for walks in your neighborhood

“We’re so glad we found Nicole when we needed last-minute care for our pup — she was fantastic. Our dog warmed up to her instantly, had a great day, and the happy updates she sent throughout kept us from worrying. We’d definitely book her again!”

“Very welcoming and very knowledgeable about elder dogs! Great energy which is so crucial when you leave your dog in a brand new place. Uma will be visiting many more times!”
About: I just graduated from UMass Amherst with a degree in Pre-Veterinary Science. I have grown up with pets and taken care of them for years! I’ve had dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish! I have a lot of experience taking care of animals as I’ve interned at a zoo and volunteered at shelters and vet clinics. I’m very comfortable giving medications to pets as I’ve had a lot of practice with this with my own pets and while sitting! I am currently on summer break so I should be available all day unless I have it blocked off on my calendar! I plan to travel around the end of summer and move out of Illinois in the fall. My house has one kitten, and my backyard is not fenced in. I’d love to take care of your pet in either your home or mine, whichever is easiest!
About: Hello! We love furry friends. We will spend time with your pets and take best care of them. We will let your pets feel like they are always surrounded with love. We need to go to office three days a week. We will get home around 5pm and both me and my husband can take care daily. We have a very friendly 6 years old yellow lab, Coco, at home. We go out 3 times a day and play with her very often. We will do the same thing and crated if you request.
About: I’ve grown up with animals. I love people who love animals! I enjoy giving ear scratches, tummy rubs and nose boops. We are a military family, with 3 furry friends. Let’s connect and hopefully you can find trust in myself with your most precious pets! I’m currently working part time. I have a flexible schedule as far as what services you may need. I’m open most weekends and week days. I can watch in your home or mine or stop by to take your dog out for the day! I have a fenced yard and a friendly husky. We are big on parks, walking and fetch. Big or small, I don’t mind at all!
About: Hi, I’m Yailyn! I have a genuine love for animals and hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, as well as other small pets. I’ve done everything from dog sitting, cat care, and walks to feeding and bath time—always making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. I also offer dedicated cat care, whether your kitty loves playtime, cuddles, or just having someone around to keep them company. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with you to make sure your furry friend gets the best care possible. I can’t wait to meet your pet and give them all the love and attention they deserve! 🐾✨ Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I currently work from home. This allows me to be flexible with my schedule, giving me plenty of time for frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and quality care throughout the day. 🐾✨ When caring for pets, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each owner’s routine closely to keep things familiar for their pet. This includes regular feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm and caring environment. I make sure pets have everything they need—from fresh water and a cozy space to plenty of love and care. 🐾✨
“Michael was prompt and professional; yet a very friendly, warm and welcoming person. Daisy took to him immediately. I appreciated the photos. And, from the photos, I could tell that Daisy was well cared for and loved. Thank you, Mike, for your loving care of Daisy.”
“Pat took great care of my dog. She has a lot of experience and really cares about animals. This was my dog's first time with Pat and he seemed to have enjoyed himself (even though he was a little uneasy with an unfamiliar environment). I definitely recommend Pat to care for your fur babies.”
“This was the first time Belle and Lucy stayed with Jean and they had a blast! She took such good care of my babies that I didn’t have to worry about them at all! We are glad to have found her and hope to use her services again in the future. Highly recommended.”
About: I owned a cat for 16 years and most recently a dog for almost 16! Not ready for another of my own just yet, but missing the cuddles and walks! As a teacher I am back to work this week so will only be available on the weekends for the time being. Will update my availability as holidays and school breaks approach. I have a fenced in side yard area that dogs can use throughout the day. I also have my own crate that a dog can sleep in, as well as my own litter box for cats to use.
About: My wife, Jana, and I have been dog lovers our entire lives. Currently, we're proud parents to our wonderful pup, Lula. Lula is a 75lb Komondor-mix. Recently, we said goodbye to our other beloved senior dog, so we understand the unique needs and joys of older dogs. We'd love to open our home to another dog, if only temporarily, to bring some companionship to Lula and fill our hearts with double joy once again. Rest assured, your furry friend will be treated like family while you're away. We can't wait to welcome them into our home with open arms! Jana and I both work from home, ensuring that there's always someone around during the day to provide company and care for your pet. Occasionally, we may step out for a meal or activity in the evenings or on weekends, but your pet will never be left unattended for more than a few hours at a time. Our cozy home boasts a fenced backyard, providing a safe haven for your pet. We enjoy daily walks in our scenic and relaxing neighborhood, ensuring your dog gets plenty of fresh air and exercise if desired. Our dog Lula is e-collar trained, and is playful with other dogs & humans
About: Hi! I'm Livia, and animals have been my whole world for as long as I can remember. Over the years my husband and I have had our own four dogs, two bunnies, and two ducks (yes, really!), so "a little bit of everything" is genuinely our specialty. We don't have any pets of our own right now, which is actually one of the best things about your furry friend staying with us. Your pet gets the run of the house with no resident animals to negotiate with, which is a huge relief for shy, anxious, or reactive dogs/cats who just need room to decompress. And there's a LOT of room. Our entire downstairs is 2,000 square feet and completely open to our guests, with dog beds tucked into every room so they can pick their favorite spot. Outside is a full fenced-in acre yard: space to run, sniff, and roll around in the grass without ever needing a trip to the park. Best of all, at least one of us is home all day, every day. Your pet is never left alone and never crated (unless you'd prefer them to be crated). We're happy handling puppies still learning the rules, seniors who need a gentler pace, medications on a schedule, and nervous pets who need someone patient. And if anything ever were to come up, we're literally a two-minute drive from three different emergency vet clinics. We're looking forward to welcoming your pet! My husband and I both work from home, which is the whole reason we're able to do this so well. There's no window where the house is empty - someone is always here, in the same room (usually being used as a pillow by one of our guests!). That means your pet's routine gets to stay your pet's routine. Whatever their feeding schedule is, we'll keep it. Meds at 7am and 7pm? Done. A dog who needs a mid-afternoon nap in a quiet room, or one who wants to be outside every hour on the hour? Also fine. We're not working around a commute, so we can build the day around them instead of the other way around. You'll get a few photos and updates a day, so you can see exactly how they're settling in. And we always do a meet-and-greet before booking, so everyone (including your pet) knows who they're staying with before the first night. Our yard is a full fenced acre behind a 6-foot privacy fence, so there's serious room to run with no gaps to squeeze through. Inside, our whole downstairs (about 2,000 square feet) is open to our guests, with dog beds in every room so they can pick their preferred spot. Cats stay upstairs in their own quiet, private bedrooms with the doors closed, completely separate from any dogs. We don't have pets of our own, so nobody's defending their territory when your pet walks in. Every booking starts with a meet-and-greet, and if we're hosting more than one family at a time, new dogs meet slowly and on leash in the yard before they're ever loose together. If any pair isn't a match, they get separated. Someone is home 24/7, so your pet is never left alone. We're comfortable with medications, senior pets who need a gentler pace, and nervous ones who need time. And we're literally a two-minute drive from three emergency vet clinics if anything ever were to come up.
“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!”
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover who recently relocated to the USA. While I love it here, I deeply miss the family dogs I had to leave back in my home country. Having grown up surrounded by dogs, I'm so excited to open my heart and home to your furry family member! What sets me apart is the personalized attention your dog will receive. I am currently home full-time, so caring for dogs is my main focus. My husband also works from home, which means there is almost always someone in the apartment, and your pup will rarely, if ever, be left alone. I live in a comfortable apartment with wonderful green spaces nearby for walks and outdoor time. I'm happy to adapt to your dog's unique personality and routine. If your pup loves to stay active, I'd be delighted to take them on walks or runs. If they prefer a slower pace, they're welcome to curl up on the couch with me for plenty of cuddles and relaxation. Having grown up with dogs, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your beloved pet with someone else. I'll care for your dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet your pup! I am home during the day, which allows me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout your dog's stay. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so I can easily follow your pup's established feeding, bathroom, exercise, and medication schedule. I take care of all daily walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My husband works from home full-time, so while I am your dog's primary caregiver, there is almost always someone else in the home as well. This means your dog will have plenty of companionship and will rarely, if ever, be left alone. With our flexible schedules, your pup can enjoy frequent potty breaks, regular exercise, and lots of affection throughout the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood in a ground-floor apartment, which is ideal for dogs since there are no steep stairs or elevator rides to navigate. We also have a securely gated balcony where your pup can safely enjoy some fresh air and watch the world go by. I keep my home dog-proofed, free of hazards, and calm so every guest feels comfortable and secure. While I am the one providing your dog's care, my husband works from home, so there is almost always someone in the home as well. During walks, I always keep dogs securely on a leash, stay aware of our surroundings, and prioritize their safety at all times. I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own.

“Jason quickly made a strong connection with our lab, Ralph, and with us. He puts extra time, thought and effort into his care of Ralph which has made a difference. He is also extremely responsive and provides detailed information about each interaction. He’s terrific!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Denis was amazing!! He was so professional and immediately put me at ease when we met. It was so fun to get pics of our dog while we were out of town & I knew he was being taken care of. I highly recommend Denis & Nikki!”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was young, starting with my neighbor's Old English Sheepdog. Today, I'm the go-to sitter my sister relies on to care for her little fluffball, whether it's for an evening away or extended vacations. I'm comfortable providing consistent, attentive care for every pet -- and following your every instruction to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you're away. I currently work a flexible, non-traditional schedule that includes fantasy illustration projects and teaching art classes. This gives me built-in gaps during the day that I'd love to fill with dog care, whether that means walks, playtime, or multi-day companionship. Your dog's routine and well-being are my top priorities. I make sure that your dog gets the best care possible and will follow all instructions to the letter: setting phone alarms to ensure potty breaks and meals happen right on time, monitoring treats so your dog is neither over- nor under-indulged, and sticking closely to established sleep schedules. I'm equally respectful of your home, taking care to leave it as clean and orderly (or better) than when I arrived.
“Nataliia is wonderful! Extremely responsive and provided detailed reports and photos of her walks with Bessie. Our dog loves her and we will be reaching out to her in the future! Thanks so much Nataliia!!”
“Diana was prompt, responsive and reliable! She was great to work with and I felt so much relief leaving my pets in good hands while I was away. Thank you Diana! Will absolutely rebook soon”
About: My doggies taught me everything I know. They are no longer here - they went to doggy heaven and we miss them all the time. My teens and I have a lot love to give and want to share with your doggy. You can rest assured we would treat your doggy as if it were ours. Also, anything under 10.5 miles for more than 1 day I offer pick up and dropp off. I work from home and have a very tight routine in our home that will help your pet feel calm and secure. Since pets thrive on routine it will bring them peace and calmness. I can give extra walks when it's a nice day and make sure we stay active if need or relaxed and enjoying a lazy "dog day". I have a quiet, grassy backyard that gives dogs a calm place to sniff, stretch their legs, and enjoy fresh air. It's a low-stress space that's great for potty breaks and relaxed outdoor time. I'm very mindful of which dogs are a good fit for my space and always put safety and comfort first so that your pups feel happy and at ease while they're with me. Doggies are allowed on our beds and couches and even our bathrooms :) - we keep a light sense of humor
“Christina is awesome. She takes my 5 month old puppy on walks, and she absolutely loves her. She gives updates as well so I know she’s in good hands while I’m gone at work.”
About: I've taken care of my families dogs for 10 years and just moved out and could use some doggy time, my 16 year old dog Ellie has passed away recently I have experience with dealing with older dogs because of her I'm working part-time at a retirement home so I have plenty of time to take your furry friends on a stroll, I do stand up and improv comedy so I'm not free late nights but most days I'm free till 5:30 I unfortunately am not allowed to have dogs in my apartment but because of that I'm more than willing to travel to your house to spend some time with your puppies!
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been something very natural and meaningful to me. I’ve grown up with dogs and have experience with their everyday needs, from walks and playtime to feeding, cuddles, and simply keeping them company. Unfortunately, I’m not able to have a dog of my own right now, and I truly miss having a furry friend around. That’s actually one of the reasons I’d love to be a Rover walker - I’d be so happy to spend time with your pup and give them the love, attention, and exercise they deserve. I’m patient, caring, responsible, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. I’m available for dog walks on weekends and enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs. I’m flexible with timing and happy to give your pup the exercise, attention, and care they need. I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and care, follow the owner’s instructions, and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy during every walk.
About: I have had at least two dogs at a time throughout my entire life, ranging from mid size mutt to large Bernese Mountain Dog, and from puppy to senior age. I am equipped to handle dogs of all kinds of temperaments and sizes for whatever your canine-related needs might be. Open to work nearly every day of the week for walking, drop in visits, or dog sitting. I currently have a part time job that takes up many weekdays during the evening, however outside of 5 days a week evenings I am free pretty much all day to be able to help out with pets. I have two dogs at home anyways that I need to take care of. I am a very non invasive person who does not seek to invade on yours or the dogs space. I am looking to connect with any animal I might take care of and develop a relationship with them.
About: I’ve taken care of different types of dogs since I was 14. I had a golden doodle pet of my own for 12 years. I have given injections and pills to dogs. I have been trusted to take care of dogs with epilepsy and diabetes. I have plenty of time to be with your animals. I love cuddling with them and won’t have a problem having them in my bed. I am from Riverwoods and it is soon to be my senior year in college but I have time off now. I also love being active and outside. I have no concerns about anxious dogs and I know they will warm up to me with time. I can crate your dog if needed. For extra outdoor time, I have a a zip line cord to connect to a collar that prevents them from going past a certain point in the backyard since we do not have a fenced in yard. They can roam around there.
About: I've been taking care of pets since I was 8. We got my first dog when I was three. He winked at me on the way home so I named him Winky. My favorite photo is of me napping on the couch with WInky in the 60's. Since then, I've had a love for dogs. But since my son has an allergy, I can't have a dog right now. I would love to walk your dog! I'm currently semi-retired so I have time to walk dogs. I need to walk every day so I'm happy to take on this role. I can't have dogs at my house due to my son's allergy. I can come to your dog. I am a trustworthy and prompt person (always on time!). I am gentle with all dogs and, if I may say so myself, dogs love me.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for 35 years. I currently have a German Shepherd and a domestic short hair cat. I volunteer at the humane society socializing cats. I am retired and have time and love enough to care for your small dog or cat. We travel a bit but am available when in town. I’m available for drop in visits or overnights. I am experienced keeping an active dog entertained. I can take small dogs for walks in your neighborhood

“Nicole was incredible with our border collie! She made sure we got daily updates, ensured our baby had the best time and made him feel as safe and comfortable as possible. We look forward to using her in the future!”
“We had a great experience with Meghan! Freddy was happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands and would happily book again.”
“We were so happy with the care that was provided for our two dogs. We received pictures of our dogs. They looked happy. She alway went the extra mile for our dogs. One of the dogs was licking his paw alot and she provided care for him. She kept us informed and we were confident of her care. We are so thankful and will definitely recommend her with your dog.”
“Kyle was amazing and went above and beyond in taking care of my puppy. Would rate him the best in business!! Thanks once again Kyle!!!!!! looking forward to boarding Snoopy with you in the future.”
“Thao has kept my Golden Retriever, Sully, for two different stays when I have needed to board him when my husband and I travel. Once was for a 4 day stint and the other time was for a short weekend. She is very communicable via cell phone and responds to messages very quickly and responsibly. She has sent me updates of Sully with photos and videos and been very nice. It's been really great to be able to leave home and feel confident and trust that my dog is in good hands. She has even come to my home to pick him up before when I haven't had time to drop him off, and she's been very flexible and easy to work with. If you need to leave your pet with someone when you are vacationing, I would HIGHLY recommend her! I have been very pleased with both of my experiences with Thao and Sully always seems excited to see her, which says a lot. Thank you for taking such great care of my fur baby, Thao!!”
“Amy & Lamar took amazing care of our dog! We will continue to book with them. They send us photos/videos daily which is so nice to see. Our pup was excited to be back with them!”
About: I’m Valeriia - an animal lover to the core. Growing up, our home was always full of pets, so caring for animals has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. Whether it’s an energetic dog or an independent cat, I love caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. And yes - I can absolutely handle a strong puller on a leash without breaking a sweat! 🐾 I am relatively new to offering dog walking and boarding professionally (turns out we just didn’t know this could be a job sooner!), but our first clients came through word of mouth-which I think says a lot. Now we’re excited to connect with even more pet families through Rover. 🥰 When your dog stays with me, they’ll be in a smoke-free, child-free home where they’ll feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I live on the first floor with a spacious living room plenty of room to play and relax. While I don’t have a backyard, our community features a beautiful park and lake, making it the perfect place for calm, enjoyable walks. I am carefully follow every owner’s instructions, administering medications if needed, and sending frequent photo and video updates - so many that you’ll barely feel like you were apart 📸 One more thing: my English is still a work in progress, but don’t worry - communication is never a problem. And as for the pets? They understand me just fine. 🐾 My primary job is fully remote, so I’m home for most of the day. From time to time, I may step out for a couple of dog walks, but those are always short, and I’m never away for long. Because I live in an apartment community, it’s important that pets are comfortable staying home alone for short periods without excessive barking or howling, out of respect for our neighbors. The rest of the time, I’m almost always at home, so your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout their stay. I always follow the routine your pet is used to and carefully stick to all of your instructions, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, or any special requests. I also send regular photo and video updates, so you’ll always know what your pet is up to and can enjoy your time away without worrying.
“Lola had the best "vacation" with Mark and Lori. She took to them right away and they were EXTREMELY accommodating. I also really appreciated how patient they were with me. This was our first time leaving her, and I was so nervous. Mark gave me updates every day, and when my kids were asking me to find out what Lola was doing, he responded right away with a cute picture. This totally took the stress out of leaving her for a week. She's our baby, gets a ton of affection from us daily, and it seemed like that attention was never lacking with Mark and Lori. They are such great people, and I will definitely be using them again. Lola is still very much a puppy at just over a year old and they handled her craziness wonderfully. Thank you so much Lori and Mark. I truly appreciate you and the way you took care of our baby girl.”
“Logan was an amazing pet sitter. She took care of our three cats for three days and two nights. Logan is very patient and nurturing with pets. She gave us daily updates and sent adorable pictures. She’s very responsible and is amazing with animals. We’d highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“Thea was great we received daily updates and pictures. Bailey had plenty of play time with Thea’s dog and the other guests staying over. Bailey has been home for a day now and seems exhausted after the great stay he had. Thea will be watching Bailey again next month and I’m sure he will get the same great care.”
“Winnie had a great time playing with Loki! I got photo updates and it was easy to coordinate drop off and pick up. So easy, will definitely book again!”
“Buddy was sorry to leave all his new friends but happy to see Mom & Dad. Marta did an excellent job and would certainly recommend her. Thanks Santa and Mrs.Claus 🎅🤶”
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover who recently relocated to the USA. While I love it here, I deeply miss the family dogs I had to leave back in my home country. Having grown up surrounded by dogs, I'm so excited to open my heart and home to your furry family member! What sets me apart is the personalized attention your dog will receive. I am currently home full-time, so caring for dogs is my main focus. My husband also works from home, which means there is almost always someone in the apartment, and your pup will rarely, if ever, be left alone. I live in a comfortable apartment with wonderful green spaces nearby for walks and outdoor time. I'm happy to adapt to your dog's unique personality and routine. If your pup loves to stay active, I'd be delighted to take them on walks or runs. If they prefer a slower pace, they're welcome to curl up on the couch with me for plenty of cuddles and relaxation. Having grown up with dogs, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your beloved pet with someone else. I'll care for your dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet your pup! I am home during the day, which allows me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout your dog's stay. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so I can easily follow your pup's established feeding, bathroom, exercise, and medication schedule. I take care of all daily walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My husband works from home full-time, so while I am your dog's primary caregiver, there is almost always someone else in the home as well. This means your dog will have plenty of companionship and will rarely, if ever, be left alone. With our flexible schedules, your pup can enjoy frequent potty breaks, regular exercise, and lots of affection throughout the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood in a ground-floor apartment, which is ideal for dogs since there are no steep stairs or elevator rides to navigate. We also have a securely gated balcony where your pup can safely enjoy some fresh air and watch the world go by. I keep my home dog-proofed, free of hazards, and calm so every guest feels comfortable and secure. While I am the one providing your dog's care, my husband works from home, so there is almost always someone in the home as well. During walks, I always keep dogs securely on a leash, stay aware of our surroundings, and prioritize their safety at all times. I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own.
“Chris was magic to work with. Super communicative, easy-going and ultimately a dog lover. I highly recommend Chris for anyone who is looking for extended dog boarding. (We used Chris for over a week while moving down to Florida). Thanks again for having our Pyradoodle!”
