“Yaqi is absolutely the best, I have an elderly Frenchie who is generally with me 24/7. I was very worried about leaving her with anybody but Yaqi very quickly put my mind at ease. She sends many pics and videos and my dog loves her. I won’t sorry next time I leave town because I know my dog will be with Yaqi.”

“Hannah's care to my dog was wonderful, the photo she sent to me daily really assured me that Ling-Ling was at a sweet home away from home, that gave me a great relieve to be able to enjoy my vacation as I knew Ling-Ling was enjoying her great vacation with Hannah and her 7 years old daughter. I will book with Hannah whenever I need to if no conflict with her schedule. It's a great feeling that I will not feel anxious to plan vacation at the future anymore because I found Hannah.”
“Brian is a great host. He reached out quickly upon my request and the provided information so I was able to book within about 30 minutes. He was proactive and reached out the night before to confirm arrival time and it was very responsive to all my requests and inquiries over text message. He was able to accommodate my daytime doggy daycare request His neighborhood is great and they even have a small dog area that’s fenced in for some off leash time. Basically, the best experience you could ask for when handing off your fur baby.”

“We have been taking our dog Bear to Derek for almost 2 years now. Some of our trips have been pretty long and every single time bear has gotten the best care from him and his family.

I can’t say enough about Derek and his family… Your dog would be in perfect loving hands with them if you ever need to be away. Thank you, Derek!”

When a bad storm rolled in Jean was compassionate and loving and notified me about his condition. As a very overprotective dog mom I trust Jean and we will definitely be using her again.”
“Roberto and his family did a wonderful job sitting for our dog Hopper while we were on vacation for two weeks. He sent us pictures and updates every day or two. They really made Hopper part of the family (even though Hopper kept stealing all of their dog’s toys and attention). We were very happy to be able to leave Hopper in a home where he was so well cared for.”

I was nervous to leave him with anyone that isn’t family, but everything went so smoothly, I will definitely book Jessica again in the future. Yoshi also seemed to have liked her right away so that was a bonus! Thank you for giving me peace of mind while away!”
About: Cats have been a huge part of my life for decades, and I currently have four of my own. I’m very familiar with cat behavior and body language, and I know when a cat wants affection, playtime, quiet company or simply some space. I’m also experienced caring for cats with medical needs, including giving medications, injections and IV fluids. I keep litter boxes, food and water areas, and their overall space clean and comfortable. Most of all, I want every cat in my care to feel safe, understood and genuinely loved while their family is away.
About: I know life gets busy and you may need someone to stop in I would love to meet you and your fur babies. I’ve been pet sitting for puppies, older dogs, hedgehogs, rabbits, birds, cats, reptiles and Guinea pigs. I’m currently working part time but open my availability to all over night pet sitting or animal care that is needed so it’s nice to make my own schedule. I can do drop ins or over nights for anxious animals who like to be in their own home. I will listen to what your needs are and do the best I can to make the animal comfortable. Love Long walks outside in anyt weather needed. I have plenty of vouches and referrals off of rover if you’d want to hear some of them :)

About: I am comfortable walking and taking care of any size dog. I have over 10 years of experience taking care of wide range of breeds from Pittbulls to Labradors. I am in general an animal lover. I am available for walking, boarding, sitting and house visits. I love taking care of animals. I am available on weekdays, weekends and holidays. I am very flexible and can accommodate whatever you may need. I have a fenced in yard for the pups to play in and enjoy. I also love taking dogs on walks whenever the weather permits.
“Carla is the best! My dog has the best time with her & her family. Well cared for. Lots of play time. Carla is very mindful about following our dog's routine. Sends photos & videos throughout the stay with her. It's so comforting to find someone that cares for our dog so much.”
“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'm Victor a homeowner in Hoffman Estates with a fenced backyard and a genuine love for dogs. Your dog gets my full attention: structured walks, a safe yard to run, and a calm home environment. I keep owners updated with photos and check-ins throughout the day. Small things matter to me because your dog matters to you. I'm currently working full-time and have time to walk dogs after 6 p.m., I'm available on weekends as well upon request. Weekends availability if needed. I can responsibly walk your dog without distractions, that means not checking my cellphone every minute during the walk. If house sitting is needed, I am a home owner with fenced back yard and empty unfurnished basement.
About: Hi! I’m a caring and reliable dog walker and sitter with a deep love for animals and hands-on experience as a proud pet parent to my sweet 9-year-old Maltipoo. I treat every dog like my own—with patience, love, and lots of tail-wagging fun. Whether your pup needs a daily walk or a cozy home while you’re away, you can count on me for safe, personalized care. I’m here to give your furry friend the attention and care they deserve. Safety, comfort, and tail wags guaranteed! I work from home, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pup! I’m available for dog walks any day between 10 AM and 9 PM, and I also offer boarding any day of the week. Whether your dog needs a midday walk or a cozy place to stay while you’re away, I’ve got you covered with lots of attention, playtime, and love. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac, perfect for calm walks. Dogs are always kept on-leash outside, and I take them to fenced-in parks for safe playtime. At home, they get a clean, cozy space with lots of care and supervision.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. I’ve also taken care of senior dogs, so I know how to handle their special care. I’m very experienced in feeding and grooming, and I love the companionship it brings to a family! I am a stay at home mom, and my husband works from home, so there’s always someone there to watch and play with your fur baby! We always have lots of time for walking and playing throughout the day. I have an extremely safe neighborhood with a little park about a 3 minute walk away, two kids that love playing with dogs, (16 and 9) and an extremely friendly mini goldendoodle!
“Our dog easily warmed up with Steph the first time she met her! Steph was great and so accommodating. We agreed to an out of town trip and had to leave early and Steph, with no hesitation, accepted our booking. She really took good care of our dog, that our fur baby went home happy that day. We will use her services again in the future!”
“Ashley and Andrew couldn’t have taken better care of Bruce. He felt right at home.and was so happy. So many walks and play and love. Ashley and Andrew are so enthusiastic, very kind and very flexible. Over and above!”

About: **PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING PET/HOUSE SITTING** I want to clarify that I do not typically provide traditional overnight house sitting. Instead, I specialize in drop-in care and can provide multiple visits throughout the day to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. For example, I may visit in the morning, again during the day, and then for a longer evening visit. This works especially well for pets who don't need someone staying overnight but still benefit from consistent attention, exercise, companionship, and care throughout the day. If you're looking for overnight house sitting, I may be open to discussing shorter stays (3 days or less) after a meet & greet, depending on the situation. If you're unsure which option is best for your pets, feel free to reach out! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and genuinely enjoy caring for all kinds of animals. My experience includes dogs and cats, as well as small pets such as rabbits and other small mammals, reptiles, and horses. I also have hands-on equine experience, including equine bodywork, which has strengthened my ability to stay calm, observant, and responsive with animals of all sizes and temperaments. I follow routines closely—feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter care, habitat care, and all the little details that matter—and I adapt my approach to each animal's personality and needs. Whether your pet is social and energetic, shy and routine-driven, or simply prefers to do their own thing, I meet them where they are. You can expect clear communication and consistent updates while you're away, so you always know your pets are safe and well cared for. I am currently looking to fill in some gaps in my schedule and should be able to accommodate most pet owners and their pet care needs. I follow care instructions closely and treat both your pet and your home with respect and care. Safety, routine, and clear communication are always my priority. If anything comes up or you have questions, I’m easy to reach and will keep you updated while you’re away.
“Amanda is great! She is helping us with Blanche’s reactivity to other dogs and squirrels on walks. We have already seen improvement with Blanche when we walk her. Amanda is calm and kind with Blanche, we could not be happier! Thank you Amanda!”
“Olivia has been wonderful with Bear and Bella! She’s only walked them a couple of times so far, but I’m already very happy with her. She’s reliable, caring, and does a great job with both of them. I feel very comfortable having them in her care and would definitely recommend her! 🐾❤️”
“Christine was great! I met her ahead of time and instantly liked her. My dog did too. Everything ran smoothly and I loved getting the photos she sent. I’ll surely use her again.”
About: As a dog owner, playing with your dog every day might not be easy. But, there is another way to make them happy. I and my dog Grady welcome your furry friend and play with and guard them while you are not around. I’m mostly open during the daytime. I offer periodically a daycare and a boarding. I take a walk with your dog to get to know each other. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime if you have any questions or concerns! I have a fenced yard and a dog (WPG). He welcomes furry friends and spending time with yours. Our kids love to see and play with yours also.
About: We have experience of raising our 4 year old pitbull since a pup! She loves company and we work from home allowing us to provide all the care to any dogs in need! We work from home so our schedule is super flexible. Any specific routines or schedules that your dog needs just let us know and we’ll make do! Our dogs are allowed throughout the entire basement and first floor. We have an unfenced yard for them to play and also have an additional crate. This is a dog-friendly neighborhood with perfect paths to go on a walk.
About: My family and I love dogs. We also love cats, but unfortunately I’m allergic to them. We’ve raised three dogs over the years and currently have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever named Jax. I pretty much work from home and have a 4 year old Golden Retreiver named Jax so our routine is already made for a dog. I have a fenced in back yard. Your dog will have a playmate in Jax. I enjoy going out and playing fetch with Jax although he's not much of a fetch guy. He enjoys me faking like I'm going to chase him and then he gets the zoomies and runs around the yard like a crazy boy.
About: I’ve worked at my local animal shelter for the past three summers as well as interning at a couple of vet clinics. Im currently working at a clinic in Carpentersville! I’m confident in reading animal cues and providing based on pets’ needs. I have a great passion for taking care of animals, especially those that you hold near and dear. I’m currently home for a gap year and fitting in Rover during my free weekends. I am flexible and will do everything I can to adjust to your preferred schedule! I prioritize your individual pets’ needs. Care will be completed in a timely manner, respectfully, and with utmost care towards your pet. Feel free to send instructions or details about your pet so I can best provide for them!
About: I have been around pets my whole life and know how to read their body language. I am respectful if they need space and let them warm up to me. My family had large dogs and cats growing up that I helped care for and train. I helped care for 3 litters of puppies and I trained the puppies we kept. I also had a cat who was spoiled with love and lots of playtime. I work at a school and don't work during the summer, so I am very flexible. During the school year my availability will be afternoons/evenings on weekdays. I love cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I will love your pet like my own! I truly enjoy taking care of cats and dogs and giving them lots of play and affection. I always respect their space if they are afraid, but I am skilled at earning their trust and helping them warm up to me.

Love Long walks outside in anyt weather needed. I have plenty of vouches and referrals off of rover if you’d want to hear some of them :)
About: I have had pets (dogs, cats, horses, fish) since I was a baby. Caring for them feels like a natural task! I have pet sat for many neighbors and friends, and I would love to share some love with your pets as well :) I work as a nurse 3 days a week, so I have 4 days off that I would love to spend with your pets! My schedule changes weekly but I am very flexible with my off days. I love pet parents who know what their pets need. Leave me with simple instructions and I will follow your lead! I love to clean as well, so you won’t have to worry about returning home to a mess.

A few days before our trip Bob worked with us to schedule a time to bring our dog by to meet him and for us to see his set up. Once we saw Bob interact with our dog and ty either dogs that were there we were confident that we made the right decision. I would highly recommend Bob to anyone and we will certainly book him again.”

“Sammy and Rico had a great time and felt at home! Id highly recommend boarding your dog or dogs with Stella. She gave regular updates with pics. Of the boys. Greatly appreciated that! Thank you”
“This was the first time my 10yo dog, Finley, did not have someone stay with him in his own home. Kyle had been recommended to me by a friend’s daughter. We did a meet and greet prior to my leaving, and tho it went well, I was quite anxious about leaving Finn. Fortunately, all my fears were unfounded; each day I received a photo and/or a brief update. Finn was completely fine and quite nonchalant about my return. Kyle gave him his meds, more walks than I do, and I don’t think he was alone once! I feel great about having a resource in Kyle and his family for future trips!”
“Roberto and his family did a wonderful job sitting for our dog Hopper while we were on vacation for two weeks. He sent us pictures and updates every day or two. They really made Hopper part of the family (even though Hopper kept stealing all of their dog’s toys and attention). We were very happy to be able to leave Hopper in a home where he was so well cared for.”
“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!!”
“Rhondarose gave us multiple updates and pictures which was so great since this was the first time our pup was cared for outside of family. Cocco was able to run and play with other dogs and it was an easy transition with Rhondarose’s family. We are so grateful and already planned our next booking!”
“Outstanding!! we love that we got multiple pictures and videos every single day. They took care of our pup like she was one of their own. Their dog has a great temperament and I’m sure our dog will miss playtime and naps with him! I will absolutely book again!”
“Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
“Byron and Martha are the best. They took really good care of our dog Noki. They followed up each day with photos and followed all instructions for care. Will be reaching out again for his service thru Rover. For sure a 5 star sitter. Thanks again!”
