“Kimberly took care of my dog for a week and was fantastic. She was very responsive and sent lots of photos and updates throughout the stay. My dog looked happy and comfortable the entire time. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave. I’d happily have her watch him again.”
“Julia was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Sammie. Sammie is very shy and can take time to warm up to new people, but Julia was so patient, understanding, and gentle with her. She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos where I could easily see how comfortable and happy Sammie was in her care. It’s clear Julia truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. I felt completely at ease while I was away and would trust her to watch Sammie again in a heartbeat!”
“Obi seemed to really enjoy his stay with Brian! Obi is sensitive, so he will get sick from separation anxiety after I pick him up from a stay or he will be very clingy. He’s been completely normal since I’ve picked him up and he is doing perfectly fine! Brian provided me updates daily that eased my own separation anxiety. Thank you, Brian!”
“This is the second time we have had Rico take care of our dog for the weekend and we felt so great knowing that Odin was in such good hands. Rico sent lots of pictures each day and truly made Odin feel welcome and comfortable in his home. We highly recommend Rico and his wife!”
“Maria and her family were wonderful. They sent me constant updates and pictures of my dog playing with theirs. He came back happy, healthy, and energetic. If I need a sitter again, they will be at the top of the list of people I call.”
“Sophia and David did an amazing job taking care of our baby Bella. They continually keep us updated and they truly made her feel at home. We would certainly recommend their services to anyone.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Ian! He’s attentive and communicative, and goes above and beyond to create a great space for our dog. Thank you, Ian! Looking forward to our next visit.”
“Thank you Susan for such a quick turn around on last minute support for Jasper. We appreciate the flexibility and graciousness. Can’t wait for Jasper to see you and Isla again.”
“5 stars as always! As soon as we got off the car our dogs RUSHED inside of their apartment without even saying goodbye to us 😂 Can’t give a better review than that!”
“Doug and Debbie were incredible hosts for our dog, Stella, while our family was away for a week. Stella can be slow to warm up to new people, but thanks to their gentle care, she quickly felt at ease. We had a few unexpected flight cancellations, which required Stella to stay an extra day, and Doug and Debbie happily accommodated her without any issues. We're so grateful that Stella had a safe, loving place to stay, and she especially loved their beautiful backyard patio. Will definitely be re-booking for any other family vacation!”
“Abigail and Chris were so wonderful! We are always nervous to leave Vino as she's old, deaf and set in her ways but after the the initial meet and greet, we knew we found a great fit! Vino seemed very comfortable and bonded with them quickly (and even tolerated host dog Olive). Abigail and Chris also didn't hesitate with all of Vino's meds and special food. We've already booked them again for a trip next month. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our sweet girl!”
“I was nervous to leave my pup with separation anxiety with another person, especially after my last experience leaving my pup with someone (he escaped!) but Chad sent frequent updates, photos, and videos and he and his wife seemed very caring of him. I would definitely book with them again.”
“They were easy to communicate with and Bowie seemed to be having fun! They sent me pictures daily and were responsive. I felt comfortable leaving my dog with them and would use them again.”
“So friendly and accommodating to me and my Santi boy. He seemed so happy and comfortable arriving home so i KNOW he had a great time. Charise is a true dog lover and i look forward to booking with her again. Thank you!!”
“Wonderful experience boarding our pup for the weekend! Makda had great communication and was very flexible around flights. Max had a great time, lots of attention and care. A home away from home ❤️ Can’t thank them enough!”
“Remi had a great time with John and Ryan and they updated me with pictures every day! She came back sleepy and content. I'll definitely have her stay with them again if I go out of town!”
“Christian was amazing! I had a last-minute emergency and needed someone to board my dog with less than an hour’s notice—for four whole days—and Christian came through without hesitation. He was incredibly accommodating, responsive, and reassuring from the start. I could tell right away that my pup was in great hands. Christian kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, and my dog came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I’m so grateful for his flexibility and care, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Highly recommend!”
“Nicky was great with our Frenchie. Lots of communication and photos. Would recommend if you need someone that can care for a fussy dog that needs lots of attention!”
“Marcos was absolutely amazing!! We plan on using him for all of our future vacations where we cannot bring our baby - he was super responsive and sent plenty of pictures of her enjoying her time with him. Thank you Marcos!!”

“Yara has been an the absolute best for watching our two babies. Her dedication, care, and attention to detail made our time away worry-free. It’s obvious that Yara genuinely adores and loves animals. She took the time to get to know our cats' unique personalities and habits, ensuring they felt comfortable and loved while we were away. Yara was punctual and reliable, consistently following our feeding and playtime schedule. She even went the extra mile to send us daily updates with photos, which brought us immense comfort and joy. It was evident that our cats were not just taken care of but truly spoiled during her visits. Furthermore, Yara's attention to the cleanliness of their litter boxes and living spaces was exceptional. We returned home to happy, content cats in an environment that was as immaculate as when we left. In addition to her professionalism, Yara's genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter, and we highly recommend her to anyone seeking top-notch care for their furry family members. Thank you, Yara, for your outstanding care and for treating our cats as if they were your own. You've set the bar high for pet sitters, and we'll definitely be calling on you again in the future!”
“Sydney helped us out in a pinch and was just the best with our cat, providing absolute top-notch care and giving us much needed peace of mind while we were away. Rebooking with her is the easiest decision ever!”
“Parisa was an absolute angel. Our beloved pet rabbit became sick while we were out of town, and she immediately stepped in to provide emergency care without hesitation. Her compassion, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals truly saved our little one’s life. We are forever grateful for what she did. she went above and beyond in every way imaginable. It’s rare to find someone as kind and dedicated as Parisa, and we can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. She’s simply amazing”

“Dinara was great! She was very flexible, tidy, and communicative. Our cats immediately seemed to like her, and we had no concerns about their care while we were out of town.”
About: As a cat owner myself, I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I rescued my adult cat from the street and learned firsthand how important patience, trust, and a calm environment are in helping animals feel safe and secure. I also care for an energetic kitten, which has given me experience with both playful younger cats and more independent adult cats. I strongly understand the importance of routine for cats, including consistent feeding schedules and daily care that helps them feel stable and comfortable. I also recognize that when cats are sick or stressed, they often need extra patience, time, and sometimes special care such as medication, dietary adjustments, or simply a calm presence. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will care for your cats with the same attention, patience, and love that I give my own, making their comfort and well-being my top priority.
“Hannah has been an absolutely wonderful pet sitter. They are always quick to respond when I reach out about a job, consistently show up when they say they will, and go above and beyond every time. Hannah is an incredibly strong communicator, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. It’s clear they genuinely care about both the pets and the people they work with. I would highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy to care for their animals.”
“Katherine was great! She kept us informed with pictures and detailed updates every day on how our cats were doing, and our timid girl even felt comfortable enough with her to come out of hiding.”
“Tiffani was so great with our two cats for drop in feedings. One of my cats is not very nice and they got along just fine and he even let her get a quick pet here and there. They got lots of playtime and pets and I got lots of fun photo and video updates. Thanks Tiffani!!!”
“Annabel is fantastic! She took great care of my furball and I am grateful for the nice notes and pics while I was gone. It was nice to come home see a happy kitty, and know he was cuddled and had playtime everyday too. Highly recommend!”
“Ellie was excellent, I totally recommend her. I was out of town for a week and Ellie took care of my cat while I was out. She came twice a day to feed him, check his water fountain, clean his litter box and play with him. Ellie was very detailed in her daily reports and sent 8 pictures along with each report which gave me a sense of relief each time, knowing that my cat was being well taken care of. I’ll for sure contact Ellie again whenever I need to travel again.”
“Allie was great, very responsive and conscientious. She sent great photos and updates so I felt very at ease while away from my kitties. I will definitely ask her to sit again!”
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.
“Tetiana was amazing!! She was so communicative and nice (and took such great pics of our cat!!) We had an unexpected delivery and she was so kind in bringing it in for us. She gave us detailed reports and we really felt so at ease on our vacation leaving our car in her care. This was our first time using Rover and I'm so glad we booked Tetiana. We would 100% book her again and highly recommend her!!”
“Desiree was great with my two cats. She fed them and gave them water but most importantly pet them and made the effort to comfort them while I was gone on a three week trip. Would recommend Desiree and will use her again!”
“Karli was very easy to communicate with and professional for our last minute booking. She provided thorough check-ins and took great care of our cats. Usually they’re timid with new sitters, but they were present and engaged during her drop-in visits. We look forward to using her again.”

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 am home full-time, live in an apartment with 1 adorable dog. Dogs have been a part of my family since I was a little girl. I think they are the most adorable creatures and I love their personalities. I like playing with them, teaching them tricks and just hugging them all the time. Your dog will feel like it's their home when they are with me. Hope to see your dog soon. Have a great day! About this sitter: Love Animals! Why I love dog sitting Dogs have been in our home and a part of my life since I was a child. About my yard Yes, it is a small backyard. Several parks in the area for long walks.

“Susan was wonderful! She was very caring with our little elder dog. Communication was great and we were happy to receive a photo of our dog having a comfortable stay with Susan. We appreciate you, Susan!”
About: I do take up to 3 clients at a time, so I can only accept dogs that get along well with other dogs. I am doing Rover full time. Which means more time to spend on walks, playing and affection time ! I won't be distracted with any electronic device, when outdoors with your dog. I don't smoke, drink or party. I grew up caring for a couple amazing dogs. I've taken care of my brother's, neighbors and friends dogs. I love being outdoors and being active, so if your dog has alot of energy, he'll be sleeping like a baby by the end of the day. I currently don't have any pets of my own. I'm looking forward to making memorable moments with your dog(s). I can take your dog on an hour long early morning walk/run near a park close to where I live, so we can also play ball, Frisbee or with a toy! Then I could take your dog to 1-3 additional walks throughout the day. I try to make the dog feel at home,by being calm and trying to understand his/her body language, quirks and personality. Giving them affection and playing with them, but also some alone time.
“Arlene is great! Benny was so excited to return to her house. She went out of her way to make pickup easy - taking him to the park, where we were able to meet her. Great service and care.”
“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.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. As a pet owner and foster caregiver, I’ve cared for pets with all kinds of personalities, from energetic puppies who love adventure… to cuddle bugs who just want company. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and patient. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Expect lots of affection, playtime, and photo updates! 🐾 I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding, with extra flexibility on evenings, weekends, and holiday weekends. I strive to keep pets on their normal routines so they feel comfortable and at home. My home is full of animal lovers, and visiting pets are welcomed as part of the family. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels and always prioritize safety, supervision, and comfort. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet behind, so I’ll provide lots of love, attention, and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands.
“Stacey was very generous and honest when my high energy dog came to her home. Unfortunately, my dog was not able to behave properly because he is a puppy and it led to some issues which she quickly made me aware. I was glad that she made me aware as quickly as she did because it allowed me to respond to the issue with speed and given the situation she was incredibly clear and understanding. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog had a wonderful time at Megan's. She sent us photos while we we were gone which made us feel so much better. Would use Megan again when we come back to visit Savannah again.”
“So understanding, so amazing, so caring and loving. I could tell Molu loved staying with them. I first did a meet and greet and got such amazing vibes and warm aurora. I immediately knew I trusted them. When I dropped Molu off they were giving so many updates, it was so cute :) she will most definitely be a regular with them”
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.
“Chachi had a wonderful time at day care. He got along very well with everyone even though he was a late arrival to the pack today but he got along just fine and everyone loved him. He shared a bed with a sweet little dog who was missing a leg. Chachi likes the big yard to roam around; he's older so he does not play but he still likes the opportunity to go free in the fenced in yard. Ian can well accommodate little ones, big ones and handicapped ones all together for a nice time to be had by all. Ian offers food on time and often, sets out clean full water (I know other places that do not set out water the whole day) and he accommodates each individual dog's needs.”

I’m dedicated to creating a welcoming, stress-free environment where pets feel loved and secure. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique personality and needs.

“Meli had a wonderful time with Tara and her family. I received pictures and an update of Meli during the day. She was accommodating and flexible with my schedule. Would definitely reccomend.”

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.

“This is the second time we have had Rico take care of our dog for the weekend and we felt so great knowing that Odin was in such good hands. Rico sent lots of pictures each day and truly made Odin feel welcome and comfortable in his home. We highly recommend Rico and his wife!”
“Sophia and David did an amazing job taking care of our baby Bella. They continually keep us updated and they truly made her feel at home. We would certainly recommend their services to anyone.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Ian! He’s attentive and communicative, and goes above and beyond to create a great space for our dog. Thank you, Ian! Looking forward to our next visit.”
“5 stars as always! As soon as we got off the car our dogs RUSHED inside of their apartment without even saying goodbye to us 😂 Can’t give a better review than that!”
“Abigail and Chris were so wonderful! We are always nervous to leave Vino as she's old, deaf and set in her ways but after the the initial meet and greet, we knew we found a great fit! Vino seemed very comfortable and bonded with them quickly (and even tolerated host dog Olive). Abigail and Chris also didn't hesitate with all of Vino's meds and special food. We've already booked them again for a trip next month. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our sweet girl!”
“So friendly and accommodating to me and my Santi boy. He seemed so happy and comfortable arriving home so i KNOW he had a great time. Charise is a true dog lover and i look forward to booking with her again. Thank you!!”
“Wonderful experience boarding our pup for the weekend! Makda had great communication and was very flexible around flights. Max had a great time, lots of attention and care. A home away from home ❤️ Can’t thank them enough!”
“Remi had a great time with John and Ryan and they updated me with pictures every day! She came back sleepy and content. I'll definitely have her stay with them again if I go out of town!”
“Christian was amazing! I had a last-minute emergency and needed someone to board my dog with less than an hour’s notice—for four whole days—and Christian came through without hesitation. He was incredibly accommodating, responsive, and reassuring from the start. I could tell right away that my pup was in great hands. Christian kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, and my dog came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I’m so grateful for his flexibility and care, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Highly recommend!”
“Nicky was great with our Frenchie. Lots of communication and photos. Would recommend if you need someone that can care for a fussy dog that needs lots of attention!”
“Marcos was absolutely amazing!! We plan on using him for all of our future vacations where we cannot bring our baby - he was super responsive and sent plenty of pictures of her enjoying her time with him. Thank you Marcos!!”
“This was Roisins second stay with Tammy and she had a great time. Tammy creates a lovely environment for the dogs she cares for and I feel lucky to have found her!”
“I am very grateful. Akon spent 7 days with Michael and returned very happy and well cared for. He kept me updated every day by sending me photos and videos. Thank you for taking such good care of him.”
“Keit took great care of Bumi while we were away for a long weekend. He has some back issues and Keit was great about carrying him up and down the stairs.”
“Huactemo and the team watched Louie again this week, and as always, it was a great experience. Their reliability really stands out—every stay is consistent, smooth, and stress-free, which makes traveling so much easier for me. Louie was well cared for the entire time and got plenty of social interaction, which I really appreciate. It’s clear they make an effort to keep him engaged and comfortable, not just watched. I also received regular updates throughout the stay with notes on how Louie was doing and his behavior, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I came back to a happy, relaxed dog once again. I truly appreciate the consistency and care—highly recommend!”

As a pet owner and foster caregiver, I’ve cared for pets with all kinds of personalities, from energetic puppies who love adventure… to cuddle bugs who just want company. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and patient. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Expect lots of affection, playtime, and photo updates! 🐾 I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day.

I strive to keep pets on their normal routines so they feel comfortable and at home. My home is full of animal lovers, and visiting pets are welcomed as part of the family. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels and always prioritize safety, supervision, and comfort. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet behind, so I’ll provide lots of love, attention, and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands.
“Cagatay and ]his family were wonderful and super responsive. This was our first time using Rover and with a puppy we were nervous to leave her but Cagatay sent regular photos and videos and Tuki even learned a few new commands! Tuki has a lot of energy and we appreciate all of the family's love and attention.”
“Another great stay with Greg and Darla. We’ve used them many times and it’s always been fantastic. Our dog looks forward to staying with them again!”
