“River enjoyed her stay again and the drop off pick up was super easy and Justine was ready to go. They gave us photos each and kept us up to date. We will be back again. River enjoyed being able to hangout with the kiddos as she's a social people loving dog.”
“Patricia took great care of Tess for us! She was very communicative and send lots of updates. Tess came home happy and healthy! We would definitely ask Patricia to help us with Tess again”
“Highly recommend! They took fantastic care of our dog, kept me updated with pictures, and handled everything perfectly. Extremely reliable, responsive, and trustworthy.”
“Matt and Michelle took great care of our 2.5 year old Mae again! They treated her like family and she had a great frolicking with their family dogs and visiting guest dogs. Very accommodating with some minor changes to our plans. Thank you!”
“So happy with Kaya’s stay at Elise’s house. Her dog and Kaya got along so well. Elise provided us updates throughout the stay, which put us at ease. Definitely coming back for more stays! Highly recommend”
“Kimberly was kind and truly cared for our dogs. In every photo she sent, our pups looked relaxed and happy. It was our first time leaving them with someone else, so we were quite worried — but all our concerns disappeared after just one day. We’re definitely planning to leave our dogs with Kimberly again. Highly recommended!”
“Amberly was super accommodating and was a lifesaver when our sitter canceled last minute, and our pup had so much fun playing that she slept like a rock when we brought her home! Also she took amazing photos of our pup as an added plus :)”
“Lucy stayed with Amanda & Anton while we went on a vacation for a week. Lucy seemed very happy and was well cared for. It was so nice to receive photos and updates. Thank you!”
“Kira was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was kind, friendly, understanding, and incredibly flexible. She made the entire experience stress-free and kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos of our dog playing with her dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind. Honestly, it never felt like we were leaving our dog with a stranger. Kira made both us and our dog feel so comfortable, and it was clear that she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she watches. Our dog looked so happy, relaxed, and well cared for throughout the stay. I’m beyond impressed with the level of care and attention she provided. I wholeheartedly recommend Kira to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and loving dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again whenever we need a sitter. Thank you, Kira, for taking such amazing care of our furry family member!”
“The furbabies had so much fun at Jessica's and were "dog tired" the entire next day following their return home. Booking was easy, pick up and drop off were a breeze, and she even sent a video of the dogs playing! Will book again.”
“Kaya has stayed here a couple times and all went well. She enjoyed her stay, interacting with other dogs, and Lynda's nice back yard. Regular updates with video were great. We felt Kaya was very safe in Lynda's care. Lynda is very organized making drop offs and pick ups very easy.”
“Jo’Ell was wonderful, super responsive, and the dogs all loved her. We couldn’t believe how quickly they went with her at drop off, they were so calm and settled. She kept us updated throughout her time with them with photos and messages, and we knew they were in great hands. We would definitely love to have Jo’Ell watch them again, highly recommend.”
“We had another great experience with Will caring for our dog during a short weekend getaway! So glad he was available. Quick, responsive and clear communication. Super attentive care. Our dog, Jackie, was happy to stay with Will again. Definitely plan to book him again.”
“Eric was awesome and super accomdating to us with timing even though our flight was delayed. We couldn't be more grateful for that and also knowing Papaya was in good hands during her stay. Papaya got along really well with Axl and Eric's family. We saw lots of pictures and a tired dog is always a good sign that she had tons of fun!”
“Allis is the best! She took such great care of my dog, as always. I love the pics and videos each day. She really cared about him, especially making sure he felt safe on 4th of July!”
“My poodle mix, Melanie, used to have anxiety when she came back from the lodging we used to use. With Valentina, we got photos and text updates, and in all the pics, Melanie was happily wagging her tail. When I picked her up, she was so happy and excited! I couldn’t be happier with how Valentina cared for our baby!”
“Arielle was wonderful with Charlie! She kept me updated, took great care of him, and made sure he felt comfortable. I really appreciate her kindness and patience. Highly recommend!”
“Rosie once again has taken very good care of our little "special needs" doggie, Peanut. My husband and I could tell that Peanut was loved, cuddled, walked, and given much attention- of which we are very grateful for. Rosie is also good at giving Peanut his medicine! We highly recommend her to pet owners in need of a sitter!”

“Annika is so wonderful! I could not have asked for better care for my girl. I’m so thankful for her help and I know Wink was happy to see her everyday!”
“Sarah took great care of our cat, Poof while we were Gone. Poof loved her morning visits and playtime and I loved the pictures we got everyday! That really made us feel good and at ease that she was being taken care of! We will definitely use Sarah again! Thanks!”
About: Growing up in a cat family, I’ve been loving and caring for cats my whole life! While learning how to write cursive in school, I was learning to scoop cat litter at home. Friends and family have relied on me to check in on their cats daily during their trips, and do everything to make sure the kitties have everything they need as well as keeping them company. I also have experience caring for and walking friends’ and families’ pups. As a college student in the city, I’m super familiar with the area! I’m off for the summer and ready to take on some work with Chicago’s lovely pets. I am very familiar with meeting new cats and dogs- adjusting my behavior based on the animal’s level of comfort with me. I’m super patient and love to spend time caring for (and playing with) the best fluffballs!!
“Victoria was awesome with our 2 cats! She took great care of them and followed our directions precisely. She even helped problem-solve an issue with the automatic feeder to ensure they would be okay after she left. My shy cat seemed very comfortable with her. I would absolutely book with her again. Thanks so much for taking such great care of them!”
“Paula did a great job with our two babies. We loved that she came onboard at the very last minute to help us. I tipped her, in gratitude, at the beginning. She’s terrific!!”
About: I love animals dogs and cats included. I have experience taking care of cats. I will go above and beyond to make sure that the cat has food and water, a clean space/litter box, and I know importantly they need play and engagement.
“Susan was our first ever Rover sitter, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Our Ted cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes, so it's comforting to know he's in good hands when we are gone.”
“Excellent care of two high energy cats the first time they were left with a sitter. I came home to find two very contented animals who seemed to have barely noticed we were gone.”
About: I've been a full time veterinary assistant for 5 years now. I've loved animals since I was a child. I pet sit friends and family pets. I am able to take care of your pet before and after work. I can stop by my apartment on my lunch break and take care of your pet, if needed. I do not work on weekends. My apartment has a dog park, but I do like going on long walks. Play time is essential. Giving treats as a reward for training.
“I am so grateful that Kristen was able to care for my cat Sylvester last minute. She took great care of him and he looked very happy and comfortable with her in the pictures. Kirsten has great communication and I felt comfortable and safe having her in my home. I recommend her and would book with her again!”
About: I have 5 years of experience caring for cats and understand that every cat has its own personality and needs. Along with my 30+ hours of animal volunteering, I have learned how to provide patient, loving, and responsible care. I am a very active and energetic person, so I enjoy spending time playing with cats, giving them attention, and keeping them engaged. I believe cats will feel comfortable and quickly warm up to me because I’m gentle, caring, and always take the time to build trust with them. I make sure every cat feels safe, happy, and loved while they are in my care.
“Brian took great care of our pup! Brian is reliable, respectful, and a good communicator. He sent us regular picture updates on our dog, which reassured us while we were away. He loves dogs, clearly. We will definitely use his services in the future!”
About: I am a high-energy individual who loves all types of dogs! Rover is my first "official" platform, but I have been pet-sitting and caring for dogs since I was young. As I got older, I gained more responsibility and more training with the family dog. I have had a lot of experience with adopted dogs, young and old, and promise to provide the best care while you are away. My parent's current dog that I care for often also has given me experience with regular medication/monitoring health concerns while also providing superior care. If your dog loves to play outside, go for a run, soak in the sun and play tug of war (but also sneak a nap in too), I am your pet-sitter! I am currently a fitness coach that works non-normal hours, so I can spend time with your furry baby during the day! I can also stay long hours overnight if needed to keep your pet relaxed while you are away. Depending on the day, your pet could be alone for 4-8 hours a day with me. I will care for the pet's health concerns (including medication), make sure they have ample time outside (weather dependent) for potty time and exercise, and will care for their physical health if requested (ie brush coat or give bath). I will ask about how they interact with other dogs, people, animals so I can protect your pet and keep them safe.
About: TLDR; I treat every pet like the main character. I lost my furbaby to kidney disease in July 2025 and it was absolutely life-shattering. I was so connected to her that she meant the world to me. While I'm not ready for another dog to fulfill my life, I'm ready to open my heart and home to care for your pet. I currently have 2 senior cats in my home. I’ve cared for family members’ dogs and cats over the years, from energetic puppies to calm senior pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, enrichment activities, and giving an abundance of affection. Your furbaby gets my full attention and a warm, peaceful home environment. I’m patient, safety-focused, and great at picking up on a pet’s personality—whether they want playtime, snuggles, or a little space. I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. If you think we'd be a good fit, let's chat! I have an open and flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to give pets attention, regular outdoor time, and consistent routines throughout the day. In my home, I focus on creating a calm, comfortable, and safe space. I stick closely to your furbaby's usual routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel at ease during their stay. I keep a tidy environment with a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I make sure they always have fresh water, cozy spots to relax, and plenty of attention.

About: We’ve provided care for both our own and others' pets since we were children. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted us to feed, water, play with, walk, and board their pets when they travel. Having lived both in the country and in town, we have both loved and cared for our own and others' cats and dogs for several years in several environments. We both have flexible working schedules, especially in the summer. We have plenty of time to devote to your beloved pet and are used to juggling multiple tasks. My husband and I live in a three bedroom house in Carol Stream, just outside Wheaton. We have a large yard with a 3-sided fence in which pets would be very safe with proper supervision. Pets would be welcome to lay and sleep wherever they are most comfortable - on our furniture, in one of our two beds, or in their own beds or crates. We are animal lovers and have had our own animals in our home. We have welcomed many a new pet into our home, so your pet would receive our love and care while staying at our home.
About: I grew up with all sorts of pets, from dogs, cats to birds, hamsters, birds and turtles. I respect and enjoy all sorts of lives, and teach my kids the same I have a hybrid schedule, being at home most of the time, except 1-2 days a week. Enjoy going for a walk or letting the dogs spend time in the yard I have a fenced yard, a super friendly dog (London, Dalmatian 2.5yo) and 2 kids who loves to spoil pets! Your pet will feel at home
“Justine is so compassionate with my dog. She assured me he would be at home and he is. I appreciate the interaction her family and cats with my pup. He comes home happy and tired. I highly recommend Justine.”
“We were visiting the area for a conference and wanted to have Bailey close so that she knew we'd come back for her. It takes a while to hear back from the caretaker, and I didn't get photos. However, our Bailey girl seemed just fine when we picked her up, which was a HUGE relief. The separation anxiety was there, but it was not as severe as I had anticipated. . When we come up next year, we will reach out to Barbara again!”
“Kimberly was an excellent dog-sitter, she was attentive and patient with my dog who was apprehensive at first. Nevertheless she cared for my Cofi and opened her home to him. I would definitely have her take care of Cofi again.”
“Robbyn its AMAZING!! She was Beyond incredible with my little Molly! Always keeping me updated with her activities and breaks! She very loving and truly cares about the health and happiness of your pet! I’ll definitely keep booking her for the future because molly loved her so much!”
“Maria has been a LIFE SAVER for me. I work full time in Chicago and I needed someone who was able to take my dog M-F but I didn't want to bring my dog to an impersonal day care. That's when I found Maria. I really love that Oliver (my dog) is safe in Maria's home and also able to go to the dog park everyday. When I pick him up he is a very happy and tired dog! I could not have asked for a better situation and we consider Maria part of the family. She treats my dog as if he was her own and for that I am so thankful.”
About: We lost our cocker spaniel of 13 years about 2 years ago so I love to take care of dogs now that we don’t have a dog to pamper. We care for one dog at a time unless two dogs are siblings or good friends then that’s OK. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park nearby or just snuggle on the couch and chill with them. I realize how important your baby is to you and will give them love, companionship and special care. We love having a dog around. I’m retired and an empty nester so I am flexible and around all the time. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park and Glenbard West HS just down my street. We also like to sit on the front porch in the shade (gated) and watch the world go by. It’s a dead end street; so it’s very relaxed & chill. We are a few blocks from Main Street and town. We love hanging out in the back yard or the porch with our dog guests and take frequent walks.
“Judy was great with our little girl. It was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter and Judy made us feel comfortable. She planned a meet and greet so we could see her place and she could meet us and our pup. Thanks to this, when we went over for the actual appointment, our puppy went right over to her with no worries. Judy also sent us photos and updates a few times during the day so we could be comfortable with how things were going. She took our puppy for multiple walks and let her follow her around so she was very comfortable. We will definitely reach out to Judy again the next time we need a sitter.”

Pets will be let outside on a leash and supervised. Can crate if necessary, if this is a comfort to the animal. Sections of the house are blocked off to keep them in controlled areas.
“My puppy was happy and tired when I picked her up which means she had a full day of movement and fun! I am so appreciative and happy with the service. Very accommodating and timely as well.”
“Dave has been amazing. We have used his services already a few times and will keep doing it. He has shown professionalism taking care of our dog and also he has been very flexible on schedule. Definitely we recommend him.”
“This was a very last minute booking. Bonnie was available and she and family were terrific with our dog. He had a party with all the other dogs with him and got to play lots and get his energy out. She sent us pictures and updates and it looked like he was getting lots of love too. She sent Buddy home with a goody bag full of doggie treats! Such a nice touch and so thoughtful. Thank you Bonnie!”
“This was Wag’s repeat stay which was just as good as the first one! So nice to know from the photos sent that she had a ball! Wags was so exhausted after she got home that she snuggled up on the couch and hit the hay. Thanks for taking care of Wags for us! Thank you Sonia & Greg!”
“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: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals is truly a passion of mine. I currently have one dog and two cats who are a huge part of my family, we love them dearly and treat all pets in our home the same way. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to give your pup lots of attention, playtime, and care. I’m available for both weekday and weekend boarding, and my schedule is very open. I live near several trails and parks, so walks and outdoor time are a big part of the experience here. I also have a very active 8 year old Lab named Layla who absolutely adores people and other dogs. She’s friendly, playful, and loves having company. Because I have two cats in the home, visiting dogs must be cat-friendly. At this time, I’m not able to accommodate pit bulls or pit mixes. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, and I aim to make them feel right at home while they’re with us. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup! In my home your pet will be family to us. While your pup is in my home, she will go on walks and plays right along side my dog. Your pet will have full range of our home, and will be treated no differently than my dog, so your dog might come home more spoiled than ever!
About: I have had dogs most of my life. From my childhood dog to the ones I raised as an adult. I have potty-trained dogs to use a bell to indicate they have to go out, taught them to back away from table food, and to give up stolen items. I will treat your dog lovingly and as if they are my own. I am mostly retired and home the majority of the day. The dog will go no longer than 4 hours without a potty break, and most days it will be shorter than that. Your pet will be the only one in the house with me. I block off my stairs so the dog is always very close and mostly within eyesight.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been caring for dogs since I was around 10 years old. I grew up with dogs, helped train my family’s pups, and have been the go-to dog sitter for family and friends for years. I’m comfortable with walks, baths, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, cuddly, or a little goofy, I’ll treat them like they’re my own :) I’m currently a graduate student finishing my final courses online this summer, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available by request in the mornings, afternoons, and on weekends, and I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Unfortunately, at this time I am not available is for overnight care. Other than that, let me know how I can best help you! I always aim to make them feel as comfortable, safe, and loved as possible. I’m very adaptable and I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs. Before any booking, I like to ask a few questions about your pet’s habits, personality, and preferences so I can provide the best care tailored specifically to them. I follow feeding, walking, and medication routines closely and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. If I’m in your home, I also respect your space and keep things clean and consistent for your pet so they feel secure in their familiar environment.

“Annika was great at communicating with us before the scheduled walk/play and throughout the day to let us know how our sweet pup was doing. We will surely ask her to help us again!”
“The absolute BEST dog walker we've ever had!!! I have two crazy 12 year old Husky mixes with very different needs. One is high-energy, loves to run, get into trouble and chase anything with fur or feathers. The other is arthritic, vocal and very stubborn. Sarah has been able to keep them properly exercised, entertained and above all SAFE for two years :) We are so lucky to have found her--she is an absolute GEM! I would recommend her in a heartbeat, but after seeing the 90+ glowing reviews, she doesn't need it.”
“Sydney was fantastic! And it makes going away so much easier knowing that Mia is in good hands with someone who meets Mia as she is and is patient as Mia takes her time to warm up”
“Leah is the best! She goes above and beyond for scooby and genuinely can tell she loves animals. She takes him on great walks and adores her from all the photos I see! 💖”
About: I love dogs with everything in me, and I have two of my own at home- a lab mix and a pitbull mix. I love dogs of all age, size, and breed, and would love to help out. I dog sat over the summer last year and it was one of the highlights of my summer. Just spending time with dogs is a gift! I work part time at a pizza place, and try to work as much as I can. But I would be available most days either in the morning or evening depending on my schedule. My home has a fenced in yard for our dog but I would prefer to not have other dogs at my home. My dog is usually great with other dogs but I don’t want to risk putting anyone in harm.

“Vivian has been our dog walker for the past couple months and has been getting along well with our dog Maxx. She communicates well and responds promptly. Maxx seems to really enjoy his walks with her by the cute pictures we get from the walk. My dog Maxx can easily be scared and doesn't always like to stay out long, but Maxx seems very comfortable with Vivian since he walks around a lot and stays out long. You can tell she works well with dogs especially with her experience taking care of her own dogs. I love the rover cards we get and will definitely use Vivian again in the future. I highly recommend if you need a dog walker!”

“River enjoyed her stay again and the drop off pick up was super easy and Justine was ready to go. They gave us photos each and kept us up to date. We will be back again. River enjoyed being able to hangout with the kiddos as she's a social people loving dog.”
“Highly recommend! They took fantastic care of our dog, kept me updated with pictures, and handled everything perfectly. Extremely reliable, responsive, and trustworthy.”
“Matt and Michelle took great care of our 2.5 year old Mae again! They treated her like family and she had a great frolicking with their family dogs and visiting guest dogs. Very accommodating with some minor changes to our plans. Thank you!”
“So happy with Kaya’s stay at Elise’s house. Her dog and Kaya got along so well. Elise provided us updates throughout the stay, which put us at ease. Definitely coming back for more stays! Highly recommend”
“Kimberly was kind and truly cared for our dogs. In every photo she sent, our pups looked relaxed and happy. It was our first time leaving them with someone else, so we were quite worried — but all our concerns disappeared after just one day. We’re definitely planning to leave our dogs with Kimberly again. Highly recommended!”
“Amberly was super accommodating and was a lifesaver when our sitter canceled last minute, and our pup had so much fun playing that she slept like a rock when we brought her home! Also she took amazing photos of our pup as an added plus :)”
“Lucy stayed with Amanda & Anton while we went on a vacation for a week. Lucy seemed very happy and was well cared for. It was so nice to receive photos and updates. Thank you!”
“Kira was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was kind, friendly, understanding, and incredibly flexible. She made the entire experience stress-free and kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos of our dog playing with her dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind. Honestly, it never felt like we were leaving our dog with a stranger. Kira made both us and our dog feel so comfortable, and it was clear that she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she watches. Our dog looked so happy, relaxed, and well cared for throughout the stay. I’m beyond impressed with the level of care and attention she provided. I wholeheartedly recommend Kira to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and loving dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again whenever we need a sitter. Thank you, Kira, for taking such amazing care of our furry family member!”
“The furbabies had so much fun at Jessica's and were "dog tired" the entire next day following their return home. Booking was easy, pick up and drop off were a breeze, and she even sent a video of the dogs playing! Will book again.”
“We had another great experience with Will caring for our dog during a short weekend getaway! So glad he was available. Quick, responsive and clear communication. Super attentive care. Our dog, Jackie, was happy to stay with Will again. Definitely plan to book him again.”
“Maria did a great job but what i appreciated was administering my guy's medicine and most of all staying up late to hand off my dog when my flight was badly delayed. Thanks again Maria”
“Penny looked after Ginger as a trial night before we go on a longer trip this summer. I could tell Ginger had a blast and Penny is very caring with the dogs. I’m not concerned with leaving my pup with Penny when I have to be gone this summer. Thank you Penny and Ginger and I will see you again soon!”
“Thank YOU Sonia & Greg & Sonny!!! We are so very grateful for the care, the patience, the expertise and the love you gave Wags while we were on vacation. We did not have to worry or wonder about Wags because we knew she was in good hands. Thank you very much!!!”
“Robert did a great job with our weimaraner Geddy. He gave him lots of good exercise and worked with Geddy’s quirks. Robert kept us updated throughout our trip. I would highly recommend him and we will definitely plan to use him in the future. Thanks for everything Robert.”
“Lori was amazing! We were in Chicago for a wedding and needed a last minute sitter. She was very responsive and took great care of our Mocha. We would definitely leave Mocha with Lori again next time we are in town.”
“Our little guy had another great stay. Kelly and Tariq are very welcoming and kind. Our dog ran right into their house and made himself at home. Highly recommend this family to care for your fur baby.”
“My usual sitter had an emergency & had to cancel on us. I found Rover.com & Edgar came to our rescue!! He was extremely accommodating with last minute plans for our two pups!! He has a beautiful fenced back yard & family that also helped to make our fur babies feel more at home. I could tell from update photos & messages daily that my boys were being well taken care of. Highly recommended!! Thanks again, Edgar & fam ❤️”
“This is our 3rd time working with Beth! Her and her family are so awesome with our dog!!! She is always sending pictures and her kids are always giving our guy love! We will continue to use Beth NO DOUBT when we need somewhere for Canon to go!”
