Highly-rated overnight sitters - Chicago
“Ksenia took great care of Lola while we were out of town! We were new to Rover and a bit anxious about the process but Ksenia made the process smooth and comfortable. We are grateful for the care and attention she gave Lola, so much so that we have already rebooked for another stay soon. Thanks again, Ksenia!”

“I have used many different dog sitters for my girl Maggie, and Katrina has been the best by far. She is very thorough and you can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she is sitting for. Maggie was well taken care of, given lots of love and felt safe and happy. Katrina gave lots of updates with amazing pictures. She also did a great job grooming Maggie. I will definitely be using her again!”

“Fortino was amazing! My dog is pretty high energy and I could tell he was having a great time. Fortino sent regular updates and he took my dog on lots of fun excursions with his own dog. He was very communicative and I could tell he paid close attention to details of my dog’s comfort, personality, etc. He even gave my dog a sweater that previously belonged to his dog but was too small, which was very sweet. Will definitely board with him again.”

“Jenna was AMAZING!!! She was very accommodating and took great care of Honor!!! I had to go out of town last minute for work and she was truly a lifesaver!!! I definitely recommend Jenna!!! ??”

“Michael and Joanna were great. The communication was wonderful. They were very accommodating for Sunny and all of his energy. He got to play lots and they kept me updated with tons of pictures throughout his stay. I felt that he was safe and loved during his time with them. I would definitely recommend them & rebook when I need them again.”


“I was recommended to E through a good friend. It felt like a huge win! The location was 0.3 miles from my home and her family was willing to take my miniature GoldenDoodle Ellie at the last minute to accommodate my complex work schedule. I couldn’t have been happier with how clean and pet friendly their home is. I got over 25 pictures and a video sharing Ellie’s adventures throughout the evening. It was so reassuring and comforting to know that my baby was with a family that was ? treating her like she was their own. I just picked her up and I’ve already scheduled her next stay. You won’t regret leaving your fur baby with E and her family! A special thank you to Neil and the boys for letting her cuddle and play with you. She is forever grateful! See you soon. Xoxo”

“Andrea took great care of my dog for 5 days and I had a really positive experience. Communication was great the whole time, she was very sweet, and my dog seemed like she had a great time with her. She was also super thoughtful and flexible, she even offered to do drop-off for me, which I really appreciated. She also noticed my dog was running low on food and reached out right away to ask if it was okay to ration it, which I appreciated because it showed she was paying close attention and wanted to make sure everything was handled properly. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Timothy was a wonderful sitter ! He shared updates and photos regularly and gave my dog extra food because I didn’t pack enough. He was also very gracious to let me extend my booking on short notice due to travel delays. Highly recommend Timothy and hope we can book with him again !”


“Ashley was amazing!! She watched our mini dachshund Ellie for a week and did an incredible job. We got adorable photo updates daily and enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing Ellie was in good hands. Definitely recommend!”

“Crystal (Songen) is very professional and reliable. We received pictures, videos and updates throughout the visit of lots of playtime and cuddles which we very much appreciated!”

“We have a 14 year old dog who’s regular sitter could not commit to our 3 week Australia trip so I was nervous to find someone new for an older dog. Cheyanne is amazing, she has experience with older dogs and special needs, my dog was so happy with her and even found a “boyfriend” during her long stay. I did not hesitate to book her again for another long trip, our baby ran out of food but Cheyanne went to the store to buy her more “fresh pet” and even gave her a bath! Our dog loves being a high rise dog and Cheyanne spoils her just like we do.”

“Nathan did a great job watching my pup, Winston! He scheduled a meet & greet, worked with me to do a trial stay to ensure our dogs would get along well together, and then watched Winston for two weeks. He provided regular updates and I felt confident that Winston was doing well! I also appreciated that he picked Winston up and dropped him off as part of the sitting service. Would definitely recommend booking with Nathan!”

“OMG she was wonderful. Her space was nice and clean she checked in everyday with me I was running late she assured me it was ok my dog went on play dates and much more. I would definitely be using her every time.”

“Ann-Marie took great care of my fur baby while I was out of town. She sent pictures throughout the stay, maintained communication, and was flexible when we pushed our return to a later time. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to hiring her again in the future.”


“I had a great experience with Sara. She communicated well and was really easy going. She sent pictures and videos. And our dog Boomer seemed to have a great time! I would happily book again!”

“Katie was phenomenal. She provided excellent care to our poodle. She was extremely responsive over text. Our dog came back very happy and tired from all the excitement she had while staying with Katie. Would happily book again.”

“Ann was so great with my two dogs while I was out of town! Great communication the whole time + lots of photos! I can tell she really cared about my pups as if they were her own. We will definitely book again for future stays! :)”

“Kamiah and Casius were great sitters for Bailey. For me, it was a very last minute booking and Kamiah was incredibly accommodating to make it work. She was also very quick to contact us on the first day when Bailey wasn't eating (but everything was fine, as this is how Bailey always is at a new place), and Bailey looked very happy in the photos and videos we got each day. Also, Kamiah's pick-up and drop-off were prompt and efficient. I definitely plan to use them again!”

“Julia was great! I had to book a rover last minute. Julia saved the day. We managed to get a meet up scheduled prior to Kiki’s stay. Kiki got a five star treatment. Plenty of communication. I felt like Kiki enjoyed her stay away from home just as much I enjoyed getting a short 3 day vacay. I will definitely book Julia again. Great location. I felt safe leaving her with Julia and I know Kiki enjoyed herself.”

“Ania watched our dog Elliot for a weekend. During this time she was communicative and provided us with lots of pictures! He got comfortable fast with her and came back to us a happy dog!”

“Andres was great with my cat and was able to accommodate another week of visits when I had to extend my trip. He was proactive and made sure to check when her auto feeder was low and refill it.”


“Very caring sitter!! She helped me find my cat that somehow got under the floorboards and behind a wall. I was on the other side of the world so i really appreciated her help in finding him. Would definitely recommend.”


“Ashley’s service is amazing! My cat is super shy and timid and doesn’t usually come out for Rover sitters, but she took to Ashley right away. I will definitely rebook in the future.”

“Nadine was great! She was patient with my sassy cat and very communicative with me while I was on vacation. Would definitely use Nadine in the future.”

“Jozelin is wonderful!! She spent time with my cats, played with them and went above and beyond my instructions. This was my first experience with Rover after moving to a new city recently, and I feel like Jozelin is someone I could completely trust in my home and with my cats!”


“Sarah is professional, caring, and communicative and gave regular updates which I really appreciated. My cat was totally relaxed when I got home. Sarah is my new go to cat sitter!”


“Jason is absolutely INCREDIBLE with my two cat gals. He plays with them when they are missing me and is SO accommodating. I trust Jason with my fur babies and always reach out to him first if I am out of town. Tomato and Elphie love you, Jason! Thanks for being amazing.”


About: I have 2 cats at the moment. One is 9 and the other is 6. I have experience with senior cats as well. I have experience with almost everything except any sort of medical injections a cat may need.
“Another great job for our little guy. I know he gets a bit out of sorts when we’re gone, but Julianne has figured out how to chill with him to make sure he feels safe.”


“Yesenia is such a good catsitter. I have had catsitters in the past who I discovered reusing the same photos of my cats, so honestly, I was a little anxious about this trip. But Yesenia was in communication, sent lots of photos, and obviously cared about my cats and their comfort. She contributed to a great trip for me and I am so grateful. I really recommend her.”

“I couldn’t be more pleased and grateful for Breanna’s care for my cat. She is an excellent pet sitter and in the neighborhood. As a first time Rover user, Breanna was above and beyond caring, helpful, and communicative! I really appreciated the daily updates, and she helped answer any questions I had about my cat while I was gone. Thanks, Breanna!”


About: Hi. I have over 20 years of experience work with animals, especially dogs. I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I have experienced with ages from 8 weeks to over 20 years. I can help with sitting, boarding, walking, cuddling, playing, the list can go on an on. For boarding I currently have no pets of my own at home as in the last year my 2 loved dogs passed at the ages of 19 and 20. I’m currently working from home so I can go out for potty breaks every couple hours and walks every 4 hours. Feeding will depend on your dogs needs and routine. I care for other just as I care for my own pets, with love, caution and safety. My home and yard are safe and secure.
“I was more pleased with Cáel watching my babies than anytime I have had friends do it in the past. She went above and beyond making sure everyone was cared for and obviously is a professional pet sitter. I will absolutely hire her in the future anytime I need to go out of town.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Chicago
“Excellent dog care! I booked this because the regular sitter was out of town and was most pleased. Now I know who my next regular sitter would be, should something change with my current one.”


“Ashley was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure that my dog was comfortable with his stay at her house while I worked. She was very communicative, made sure to have full understanding of his care, and gave him lots of love! From the moment I dropped him off, I can tell she really cares about the pets she and her daughter care for, when I picked Echo up at the end of the day, he was so sad to leave! I’ll definitely be booking with Ashley again! :)”

“10/10!!! Very friendly, was able to accommodate my last minute request. Constant photo and video updates which was very important for me, they took Simba on multiple walks and my dog clearly enjoyed his time with Kseniia and Sophia💖 Will book again with confidence”

About: What sets me aside from other sitters is the love i have for animals. Since i was a little girl I've always loved being around animals they were and still are very therapeutic to me. I've had big dogs from Pitbull's, Dobermann, American bullies, all the way down to tiny dogs; yorkies, shitzu etc. even different kinds of cats you name it. As I've gotten older I've gained sooo much experience to the point I've had at home births with my dogs and cats all by myself; even home training my own animals as well. My goal here is to gain a work related reputation where i can truly start doing what i love and make a name for myself until i can become that super Veterinarian I've always dreamed of being. So far all i have is personal experience with dealing with animals at home and at my job(My residents animals). This would truly mean a lot if i can show off my skills and how genuine i am with animals and even people. Pet Care currently fits for me during the week days. I work doubles every Saturday and Sunday; whereas for school i do online Vet courses which is self pace. Which means i am free during the week Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm if communicated at least at least 30min-1hr in advanced i could stay later if needed. Although, I am a mother which means i can not do any services past 7pm nor any over night services. I also am located downtown Chicago but I am willing to travel!! One thing about me i will spoil your baby(s) haha; I am very hands on and affectionate with animals unless they require space lol. I have never been a crate animal person BUT i know every household is different and every animal requires different training. Again, animals bring a lot of joy to my heart; very therapeutic for me and if given the chance you wouldn't be disappointed i promise!.

“I’ve had dogs for 26 years and it’s very clear that Jennifer and her husband are highly experienced dog lovers. My boy came back to me with a very peaceful energy which tells me he was well cared for. Highly recommend them!”

“Gabriel was an excellent dog sitter for Walnut. He was attentive, patient, and very professional throughout the entire experience. He communicated clearly, provided updates, and always confirmed details, which gave me great peace of mind. Walnut seemed very happy and comfortable with him, and it was clear he genuinely enjoyed spending time with Gabriel. I truly felt that Walnut was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Gabriel and would love for him to continue sitting for us in the future.”


“E did absolutely amazing when it came to our dog (Jackson) being comfortable, fed and of course loved! She did an absolutely amazing job keeping in touch with us as well. if we are ever back in the neighborhood, we will definitely be getting a hold of E to take care of our puppy!!!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life so I’m adapting to watch dogs an cats I used to help some of my friends and family to watch their pets and actually I still doing with some of my neighbors’s pets and other people’s pets! I can watch the pets in my house or in the client’s house. I’m almost all day at home so I have time to play and walk to your dogs or watch your cats I enjoy when I watch pets ‘cause I’m a dog and cat lover! I have a park so close to my house so I can take Your pets for walks, and also there is a fence dog park with in walking distance from my house and I have a fence yard.
“I’ve never left my 3 month old Archer with anyone new before and had a work related emergency when David came in to save the day and treated my boy like royalty. David has three sweet pups with great manners that brought Archer out of his shell within a few hours, even though he’s still very shy around new pups. He gave me consistent updates with lots of pictures and was more than willing to move around schedules last minute to accommodate changes! Look no further if you want someone as attentive and caring as David to watch over your pup!”


“Diamond is an amazing sitter! She truly cares for the dogs she looks after and keeps you at ease with regular updates. My Leo came back home so tired and happy-which says everything, and he honestly didn’t even want to leave her place! Her dogs are wonderful as well and got along perfectly with mine, which made the whole experience even better. Diamond is reliable, punctual, and clearly passionate about what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.”

“Timothy is our puppy’s favorite sitter (and ours too!). It’s clear he really understands and empathizes with dogs of all ages and sizes. We’ve had multiple stays at Timothy’s place, and every time our dog comes home happy, well-cared for and occasionally having made new dog friends! We especially appreciate the way he handles our rambunctious labrador puppy- calm, kind, and confident. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in good hands. We’re grateful to have found him, highly recommend!”

About: Hi! My name is Monica and I recently graduated from Indiana University. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I was in college, I fostered through local animal shelters, which gave me experience caring for animals with all different personalities, ages, and needs. I’m also currently a volunteer at the Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago, where I help care for animals and support the shelter. I work from home, so I’m able to give pets a lot of attention throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone for long. My dad is also recently retired and home most of the time, so there’s always someone around to give extra attention, playtime, and care. I have a small Yorkie named Tucker and a cat named Penny. They’re both very friendly and used to being around other animals. Tucker is great at matching other dogs’ energy (whether they want to play or relax), and Penny is very calm and tends to mind her own business. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away! I recently graduated from Indiana University and am now back home in Chicago full-time. My dad is retired and home all day, and I spend most of my time at home too, so your pet will always have company and attention. I’m not super busy and genuinely love being around animals — it’s the perfect setup! I have a private, fully fenced yard and never let pets outside without supervision. My home is spacious, and pets are welcome to relax anywhere they’d like. I also have a 2-year-old, 4.5-pound Yorkie who mostly keeps to himself but is always up for a little playtime if your pet wants a buddy! I’m happy to crate your dog at night if you prefer, or they’re welcome to sleep with me — I’d love that too!
“Amy provided exceptional care for Maeve during her time at daycare. Maeve had an amazing time playing with her new friend Frank, and Amy treated her with the same warmth and attention as if she were her own. I highly recommend Amy and look forward to booking with her again!”

“Nathan did a great job taking care of our 6 month old puppy. This was the first time our pup stayed away from my husband and I, and Nathan did an amazing job. Nathan's calming personality made my pup comfortable around him right away. I got frequent pictures and updates throughout the day, which was very comforting. And Nathan was also able to drop off our pup back at home at the end of the day. Highly recommend Nathan!”

“Andres was wonderful with Mabel. He made me feel very secure with her being taken care of the way I would. Excellent job! Definately will book again! Thank you Andres!”

“I have a reactive dog and Angela was very understanding of the situation. I did my best to provide directions, so that and her experience with reactive dogs made it so taking out my dog was a breeze. Definitely will be booking Angela in the future!”

“Natalia was great! She reacted to a last minute request, was very flexible on scheduling when to do the first introduction and most importantly was on time and great with the dogs!”

“Jacob was my first dog walker for Bear. He arrived later than booked but communicated his arrival. Jacob was able to answer my questions and we spoke about Bear and his behavior. Jacob returned with a happy pup after an hour. I like the report card that shows the walk they went on. I would recommend.”

“Eunice is so good with Goonie! She’s so attentive and kind and very responsive. Taking care of a senior dog can be tough but she does it with grace and makes him feel loved.”

“Isabel was awesome with my dog! She really got to know my dog and made sure she felt comfortable and happy. I loved getting updates and pictures. I came home to a more calm and relaxed dog - cannot recommend her enough!”

About: I’ve had my own pets and taken care of others’ pets for decades. I love playing with cats, taking walks with dogs, throwing the ball, and I’m a big-time cuddler. I work from home on my own technology business and I’m available 24 hours a day all over Chicago. I’m also fine with short notice. We have a fantastic gated park across the street that we love taking puppies to. Inside our house there are a dozen different places for dogs and cats to rest. Drop-off and pick-up are easy here, too, as we have a door right onto the street.
“Breanna saved the day during my week suffering from a concussion. After an initial meet and greet Winnie took to her well and Breanna even got her to walk all the way to the lake without much issue Winnie came back happy and ready to nap. THANK YOU! 10/10 Recommend”

“Mariam has been a great dog walker for our senior dog Hannah- she is attentive, observant, caring and a great communicator. She goes above and beyond by giving our cats some attention as well and picks up on small details with our dog who is on medication which brings us such peace of mind.”

She took the time to make sure they were comfortable, shared updates and photos, and went above and beyond with their care.

I felt confident knowing my dogs were in good hands, and I would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.”

“Gaby has been such an amazing help to us! We are so grateful for her and her services! Gaby is reliable, caring, and trustworthy! We feel at ease knowing Mimi is in such loving and caring hands! She does an amazing job keeping us posted with her strong communication skills! Highly recommend Gaby to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive!”


About: I grew up with two big dogs who were more than a handful and walked them around my neighborhood when I was younger. When I moved to the city my favorite weekends were when my cousin asked me to dog sit because who doesn't love some puppy love? I am responsible and will treat your dog with the same level of love that I'm sure you treat them yourself. I have experience walking smaller dogs all the way up to big woofers who need a little extra attention. In the past, many of the dogs I've watched haven't been the best with other dogs so I have a lot of experience with taking routes that avoid other dogs and how to manage the situation if we do run into one. I've watched dogs for friends and family members who all have specific instructions for the way their dogs should be handled and I understand the importance of stability in a dog's routine whether at home or when walking! I hope I can meet your lovely furry friends soon!

About: I have been around dogs my entire life and grew up with several Golden Retrievers, which helped me build a strong understanding of their care and personalities. From feeding and grooming to exercise and playtime, I learned how to keep dogs happy and healthy from an early age. I also had a corgi of my own, which gave me experience with smaller breeds and their unique needs. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and always make sure they feel safe, cared for, and truly loved. I’m currently a grad student so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time during my week to work around both you and your pet’s schedule. Your pet’s safety comes first. I provide a calm, secure environment, follow routines closely, communicate clearly, and treat every pet and home with care, respect, and attention.

“Fortino was amazing! My dog is pretty high energy and I could tell he was having a great time. Fortino sent regular updates and he took my dog on lots of fun excursions with his own dog. He was very communicative and I could tell he paid close attention to details of my dog’s comfort, personality, etc. He even gave my dog a sweater that previously belonged to his dog but was too small, which was very sweet. Will definitely board with him again.”

“Jenna was AMAZING!!! She was very accommodating and took great care of Honor!!! I had to go out of town last minute for work and she was truly a lifesaver!!! I definitely recommend Jenna!!! ??”


“Thank you so much for taking such good care of my dog. This booking was kind of last minute when someone else fell through and I really appreciate them taking this on maybe more last minute than I wanted, but they followed all the things that my dog needs and was just warm and welcoming, and took great care of him. He almost didn’t wanna leave when I went and picked him up but thank you for taking such great care and following all the special needs that he needs.”


“I was recommended to E through a good friend. It felt like a huge win! The location was 0.3 miles from my home and her family was willing to take my miniature GoldenDoodle Ellie at the last minute to accommodate my complex work schedule. I couldn’t have been happier with how clean and pet friendly their home is. I got over 25 pictures and a video sharing Ellie’s adventures throughout the evening. It was so reassuring and comforting to know that my baby was with a family that was ? treating her like she was their own. I just picked her up and I’ve already scheduled her next stay. You won’t regret leaving your fur baby with E and her family! A special thank you to Neil and the boys for letting her cuddle and play with you. She is forever grateful! See you soon. Xoxo”

He provided regular updates and I felt confident that Winston was doing well! I also appreciated that he picked Winston up and dropped him off as part of the sitting service. Would definitely recommend booking with Nathan!”

“Iwona is my go to sitter for my Golden Retriever! My dog absolutely loves her and runs to her house when I drop her off. Iwona goes above and beyond with the service she provides - she has offered to pick up my dog rather than me having to drop off and she has always been extremely flexible with timing of the pick up. Best sitter!”

“Katie was phenomenal. She provided excellent care to our poodle. She was extremely responsive over text. Our dog came back very happy and tired from all the excitement she had while staying with Katie. Would happily book again.”

“Samantha is awesome!! Hazel clearly loved her stay with Samantha (and of course, her sweet pup Rosie). Samantha provided multiple updates (and very cute photos), and I felt very comfortable leaving Hazel at someone else's place overnight for the first time. She's great with dogs, very flexible, and knows how to handle high-energy dogs. Will definitely be booking with Samantha again, and I know Hazel will be excited to go back and spend time with her new friends!”

“Sarah was great! Very communicative and sent me daily updates. It was my first time using Rover and Sarah made it a great experience! Would definitely book her again.”
