Tully has stayed with Rico three times now, and each time she comes home totally exhausted and unbelievably happy. Rico sends a ton of pictures, gives her plenty of walks, lets her explore the backyard, and generally just gives her (and us!) a wonderful experience. We can’t recommend him and his family enough for your dog-sitting needs!

Charise was amazing with our dog Zoe! Zoe came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Charise kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took Zoe on walks, car rides, and let her play in the yard with her sweet dog Navi. You could tell Zoe was getting lots of attention and love the entire time. We also really appreciated that Charise dropped Zoe off at home for us. Highly recommend Charise if you are looking for someone caring, reliable, and attentive to watch your fur baby!

I’m also extremely grateful that Eddie was able to water my tomato plant while I was away, too. Overall, I’m grateful for Eddie’s service while I could relax on vacation and will definitely book him again in the future!

About: I’ve had animals my entire life, caring for them from the start to the end of their lives. Growing up around veterinarians, I developed a strong focus on providing competent care. I’ve learned to listen to and trust animals, offering comfort and care accordingly. Having had all kinds of pets, I’ve developed a deep love and understanding for them. This experience has made me confident in my ability to care for animals with love and attention as a pet sitter.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals. Their loyalty, companionship, and energy make them so special, and they deserve the same care and kindness in return. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have hands on experience raising and caring for both dogs and cats. A little bit about me, I live in the Albany Park area and have my own reliable transportation, so I’m dependable and able to get to your pet when needed. I work freelance, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to adjust to your pet’s routine, whether that’s walks, drop ins, or longer stays. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet. I treat them like my own and take the time to understand their personality and needs. I’m very patient and comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who may need a slower and gentler approach. I also have experience with cats and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and comfort level. Whether your dog or cat loves to be active and go on walks or prefers to stay home and relax, I’m happy to match their energy and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also like to keep owners updated with messages and the occasional cute photo so you can feel at ease while you’re away:) I have a 7 year old Boxer who lives with me. She’s very friendly, loves other dogs, and would be happy to have some company. I’m easy to get along with, responsible, and always do my best to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. If there’s anything specific your pet needs, I’ll always try my best to accommodate. I’d love to be a great match for your furry friend! My work is freelance, so I’m not always tied to a fixed schedule. This means I can plan my day around pet care and be available when your pet needs attention, consistency, or last-minute help. I offer both in-home and at-your-home pet care depending on what works best for you. My home has a secure fenced backyard and is close to a large park for walks and playtime. I also have space available for a crate if your pet needs it, ensuring they stay comfortable and safe during their stay.

About: Hi there! My name is Nicky (he/they) and I’ve been taking care of pets for my neighbors, friends, and family members for upwards of a decade and am commonly regarded as the go-to sitter in my community. I strive to treat every pet (and owner) with the utmost respect and kindness, and I’ll follow your instructions to a T! (The T stands for toe beans 🤓) Currently unemployed due to layoffs in my industry, so I’ll be able to give your fur bestie as much attention as possible! I can do overnights, multiple nights in a row, or just a drop-in/walk; whatever you need - I got you! :) I have a fenced yard in front of my apartment complex so your fur bestie can run free and tire themselves out before beddybye! I can crate your pup if you provide one or they can get some shut-eye on the couch or wherever they’re comfy!

About: I have been a house and pet sitter since High School while working at a vet’s office and all throughout college and many years after. I love a good pet therapy session to keep stress levels down for me and the animal. I have two cats of my own and know how important it is for them to get interacted with throughout the day when we aren’t around, as well as when we have our own overnight commitments to attend. I would be honored to get to spend a little time with your fur baby when needed! I am a fun loving, easy going, and pet (and treat) giving cat mom who loves both cats and dogs! I can’t wait to meet all the incredibly adorable animals possible through this opportunity. I am quite the stimulating pet parent! My cats even knows some commands and tricks. We love some treat giving, toy searching, and you playing in my house! I work for Rover fulltime, so I am always here. I have enough space, and gates to keep 3-5 dogs at a time, if the family is comfortable with other friendly dogs being in the same house with them. I walk all separately unless they are from the same family or the dogs are really good friends. We take about 5-6 walks a day around the neighborhood ranging between 20-30 minutes depending on the weather of the season, and even have a deck with a piece of “grass” where older pets can use the restroom easily or if it is raining, for a quick potty break. We have water in every room of the house, we love to give treats, have crates and gates for alone time if needed, and there is always an opportunity to sunbathe in our house or on our deck.

Jessica took great care of our dog, Bebop, while he stayed with her for the day. She met with us first for a meet-and-greet and then sent updates and photos while he was with her. We will definitely be using Jessica again in the future!

David was great with our pup Chase. He's usually very shy and slow to warm up to people. However he really took to David and Pinto super quickly. David shared pictures and videos of them playing and sleeping throughout the day. I would definitely recommend him for any dogsitting needs.

Peter was AMAZING with my puppy, Milo! I can't say enough good things about Peter and the care he provided for my pup! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this was more than just a daycare — it was a second home. Milo immediately felt comfortable, and I loved how welcoming and knowledgeable Peter was during drop-off. Throughout the day, I received regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. It’s obvious that Peter genuinely loves dogs and treats each one like their own. Milo came home happy, relaxed, and tired in the best way after a full day of playing with Peter’s dog, Khalil! The space was clean, safe, and dog-friendly, and it’s clear that Peter pays close attention to each dog's personality and needs. We’ve officially found our go-to daycare! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Milo! I’m so happy to have found a daycare provider I can trust. 🐶💛

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 12 years. I treat my puppy like a family member and will do the same for yours! Since they are family they are allowed on the couch and will get plenty of belly rubs & cuddles. I work from home. My pup and I go for a walk through the park or around the neighborhood first thing at 7:30 am and then usually breakfast is serve. We go back four our next walk at 11:30/12 then we go out again after work at 5pm. This one’s a longer walk and we follow that with play time and dinner. :) That is followed by cuddles. I will send you super cute updated images so you can see what fun your fur baby is up to :) . I also have a fenced small backyard incase your pup wants to do some light leash free jogging with me.

About: My schedule won’t allow me to book far in advance. So if you’re looking for a last minute dog sitter feel free to reach out to me to check my availability. I have experience working with large breeds and bully breeds as well as the little guys that sometimes just want to be carried. Your dog will get plenty of exercise and all of my love and attention. I have a goofy fun-loving 2yr old boxer, who loves to play in our backyard. He is well socialized with all types of dogs. He knows how to adjust his play level to make all dogs feel comfortable staying at our house. I freelance in the film industry and often have time off in between projects. So I would be home with your dog for their entire stay. I have a safe and secure fenced in backyard. My house is super pet friendly. They will be free to roam around the house, choose one of the many dog beds or curl up on the couch with me. I also have dog crates and gates to keep them contained if that is what they are used to.

My couch is available and I have a wonderful mother I am taking care of who loves dogs. It heals her soul.

About: I'm a playful and fun friend to animals of all kinds! While this app is focused on dogs and cats, I have expeirence with reptiles as well. I'm cool under pressure and can handle hectic environments. The wildest experience I've had was with 3 grown dogs, 8 puppies, and a cat. Best weekend of my life. I have one regular client in the mornings, Mon-Wed. outside of that, I tend to prefer about 5+ days' notice for sits, 2+ for drop-is & walks. I can be flexible when my schedule allows 👍🏾 I'm adaptable and can adopt whatever schedules and routines you specify for your pets. I know it's good for dogs to get some exercise, so I'll play with them as much as I can. (a win-win since it's also good cardio for me!) If they're good with other dogs, we'll go to the dog park! With cats, I find it's best to follow their lead to an extent. I'm observant and will get a good idea of their boundaries quickly.

About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up caring for them by feeding them, walking them, playing with them, and giving them lots of love and attention. I also worked with children for 7 years, which helped me develop strong responsibility, communication skills, patience, and the ability to stay calm and caring in different situations. I understand that every dog has a different personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine because I’m available throughout the day and enjoy spending time with animals. I’m flexible with walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets attention and care. My schedule is open during the day until 3. Unfortunately if no response from pet owners ahead of walk etc I will not walk dog. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well attended to at all times. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely by providing walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, attention, and any specific instructions requested by the owner. I also make sure pets get plenty of companionship and exercise while keeping their environment clean, calm, and stress free.

About: Hi! I’m Mia, a middle school teacher and lifelong dog lover offering a safe, calm, home-based environment for your pup. As a teacher, I spend my days caring for others, staying organized, communicating clearly, and creating routines—and I bring those same qualities to pet care. I live in a quiet two-bedroom condo near Horner Park with my friendly 12-year-old Shih Tzu/Bichon mix, Penelope. She loves having canine visitors and is happy to share her toys, naps, and neighborhood walks. When your dog stays with me, they become part of the family. Pets are welcome throughout the home and are never left isolated. I provide multiple walks each day, plenty of playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of affection. During school breaks, holidays, and weekends, I am home frequently and can provide even more individualized attention. I know how important it is to feel connected while you’re away, so I send regular photo and video updates so you can see exactly how your dog is doing. Although I have been a dog owner for over 12 years, my experience extends well beyond caring for my own pup. I regularly provide pet care for family members, friends, and neighbors, including overnight stays, daytime care, feeding, walks, playtime, and administering daily routines. I am also currently working part-time as a dog walker, which has given me experience caring for dogs with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and needs. As both a teacher and pet caregiver, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and communication. I treat every dog as if they were my own and take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and comfort level. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or a quieter environment, I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while you’re away. I am especially a great fit for: ✔ Small and medium-sized dogs ✔ Senior dogs ✔ Dogs who enjoy companionship ✔ Dogs who do well in a home environment Before booking, I love arranging a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a great fit for both pups and owners. I look forward to welcoming your dog into our home! As a full-time middle school teacher, I provide pet care on weekends during the school year and have expanded availability during holidays, school breaks, and throughout the summer. While caring for your dog, I build my schedule around their needs and maintain a consistent routine for walks, meals, playtime, and rest. Dogs in my care receive multiple potty breaks and walks throughout the day, along with plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment. Your dog will never be left alone for extended periods, and I will keep you updated with photos and messages during their stay. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet two-bedroom condo near Horner Park with my friendly 12-year-old Shih Tzu/Bichon mix, Penelope, who enjoys having canine visitors. Dogs are treated like family and are welcome throughout my home. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before their stay. I provide a calm, structured environment with multiple walks, supervised playtime, and plenty of opportunities to relax. As a teacher, I am patient, attentive, and highly organized, and I bring those same qualities to caring for pets. I am also happy to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure everyone feels comfortable.

Cagatay and Busra took great care of Luna while we were out of the country for 2 weeks. They sent us daily updates via WhatsApp as we requested and we could tell she was happy and loved the entire time. We will definitely book with them again when we need a sitter for our furbaby!

Carla and her roommate took such great care of my girl. I had to find care last minute before a trip, and Carla was available and accommodating. She sent regular updates and great pics. Both my dog and I were really happy with Carla and definitely plan to use her again!

I cant recommend Joreg and Lake enough. They were SO kind and able to take in my dog on very short notice. I knew he would be in amazing care. They sent pictures everyday and took him around town. They treated him so wonderfully! I will absolutely be using them again for any pet needs. THANK YOU!!

Sophia and Andy were incredible. From the first time we met them, we knew our dog would be in great hands. They easily handled our dog’s personality quirks (both cute and obnoxious) and sent all the photos we needed to know that he felt at home while he stayed with them. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter!

My dog Waylon stayed with Sarah and Walter for daycare and boarding over the last two months and I cannot recommend them enough. I got plenty of updates and they treated Waylon like he was their own. He loved staying with them so much that he would run in as soon as they opened the door. Thank you so much!

Another great stay with Abigail and Christopher! Daisy was so eager to see them, she ran to the door when we dropped her off. We received daily updates, and were so happy to know our doggo was doing well. Thank you! Liz, John, and Daisy

Angel took good care of Ivy for a couple nights and sent lots of updates. He was also very flexible and was even willing to drop her off at my place since I wasn’t available to pick her up.
