“Maria is the absolute best! We have worked with Maria a few times and she is our favorite resource for boarding. She is outstanding with our 2 dogs. One of my boys is a senior and requires gentle care. Maria goes above and beyond to meet the needs of my boy. She is so communicative and cordial. Truly the gold standard!”

“Christian was very professional. He was responsive and inn time when he picked up Bonnie. He sent pictures of her while she was in his cage and she genuinely seemed comfortable and content. He followed instructions for her feeding. And he brought her back on time, safe and happy. Would his him again and recommend him.”

“Frankie had an amazing stay with Julia. She was very attentive and took great care of him. Also, she was great at communicating with us and making us feel comfortable, knowing that he was doing great. Highly recommended!”


“Tracy is the best! Rick & Tracy are dog lovers with a comfortable home and large fenced in yard. I can tell Jax feels comfortable being there and is well taken care of. Of course we will be coming back. Thank you Tracy!”

“Susan was delightful and such a caring friend to Galway. She communicated well and had a natural love for my pup. Her dog Isla is the cutest and makes a wonderful playmate. A great time was had by all!”

“We had such a wonderful experience, this was our second time leaving Korra with Kim, and once again she was amazing. She took excellent care of Korra, and her communication was great, which gave us complete peace of mind. Kim truly went above and beyond; she even got Korra a Christmas gift, which meant so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“I felt so comfortable leaving Maggie with Whitney over the weekend. Maggie seemed to love her straight for the get go, and Whitney kept us up to date with regular pictures and videos. Will definitely use her again in the future. Thanks again!!”

“Adam is incredible! Fast and clear communication. Our puppy loved him instantly! He is near the lake to take dogs on long walks. Adam is an ideal dog sitter in just about every way! I will be asking him to watch my dog next time i'm out of town!”

“Can't say enough thanks to Jorge and Lake. After my travel plans unexpectedly changed, they were able to keep my dog an extra night. I truly appreciate their flexibility and love that they embrace my high energy pup!”

“We moved to Chicago a year ago from Milwaukee and used our sitter there before. It is too time consuming to travel to Milwaukee to take Lily to her sitter before our trips, so we decided to find one in Chicago. We booked Irene through Rover based on her excellent reviews. We decided to let them get to know Lily before we leave her with them for our long travel at the end of this month. It worked very well. I met Ronnie when we left and picked up Lily. He is a very nice person and I can tell he loves dogs very much. Irene and Ronnie treated Lily like their own. They sent her pictures frequently. We can tell that Lily was happy there with Irene and Ronnie. Hopefully her longer stay will work as well even better. We highly recommend them.”

“Another great stay with John, Ryan and Bruno! This was Bambi’s first extended stay (two weeks) and I’m so happy we found John and Ryan to be her sitters. She loves it there and Bruno is the perfect host and playmate. Communication was great and we received plenty of photo updates. Highly highly recommend- they will treat your dog as if they were their own and you will have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.”


“I'm always nervous going out of town because our pup has some quirks. Maria was warm and welcoming and our dogs immediately hit it off. I felt relaxed the whole trip because I could see how much she loved dogs, and knew so much about their behaviors and interactions. We will definitely be booking her again!”

“Ruben was amazing taking care of Alfredo and Frida, he was always updating about the day of my dogs. Is good to know that we have someone to stay with them so responsible.”

“Angel took great care of Bean while we were gone for our extended vacation. He was very flexible on dates/times and communicative about how my dog Bean was doing while away.”

“Ariella always takes great care of Nori. I have booked with her a couple of times and am always happy with how detailed she is with her check-in’s. I can tell that Nori likes her too. ❤️”


“Violet was an exceptional pet sitter with our two cats. She was very communicative and also very sweet and gentle with the kitties. One of our cats has to have oral meds given to her each morning and night, and Violet went above and beyond to make sure that she received the medication that she needed—even with our wiggly, energetic cat. By the end of the visit, it was clear from the photos that our cats trusted Violet and looked forward to seeing her. She was always on time and took care whatever we needed. Really happy we found Violet for our babies.”

“Luiza was so easy to work with and made sure we had zero worries while we were on a sudden and long trip. When I returned, it was clear our cat had been well taken care of. I would choose Luiza to look after our pet anytime.”


“Ellena watched my feline baby girl while I was away for two weeks and did a wonderful job. She was super communicative and always sent a number of pictures which were one of the highlights of my day. She was willing to work with me on a crisis as well, which I really appreciated. I would recommend her to anyone in the area and definitely plan to book her again!”

“Savina took great care of my cat while I was away and shared some really enjoyable updates and photos along the way. Thank you Savina for making my first Rover experience such a positive one!”

“Tetiana was amazing with our mix of indoor, indoor/outdoor, and feral community cats we care for. None of them are friendly to strangers, but she quickly developed a rapport and perfectly managed 3 different feeding regimes for the cats. We’re thrilled with her as a sitter, and we feel we can travel more now that we know someone who will take excellent care of our feline menagerie in our absence!”


“Eddy took great care of my very shy cat. I can tell she really cares about making my cat comfortable enough to come out of hiding. Eddy was also very communicative about planning and during visits.”

“Devon was a fantastic sitter for our cat Phoebe. Very attentive and caring, she sent great photos and updates every day so we felt relieved Phoebe was so well taken care of. We will absolutely work with her again!”


“Lauren did great with our two cats! They were well cared for, we got timely updates, and Lauren was easy to coordinate with. We’d definitely hire Lauren again!”


“She’s super responsive, sweet, and great with our 2 cats! We’ve gotten many cute pictures of the cats looking super happy and flopped over, it makes my day every time ❤️”

“Super responsive and flexible as I booked a day care for my cat during my moving day. They even dropped my cat off after which was so helpful after a long day! Their dogs and kids were super playful with Josie who was a little nervous at first. Definitely would book again!”

“Highly recommend Sarah. We had a great meet and greet to get on the same page with expectations. Sarah and her husband took great care of my cats and our home while we were away. She gave great reports and pictures for each visit and was always so quick to respond to my messages. I felt at ease with them taking care of them and highly recommend you have them take care of your fur babies!”


“Elaine was great!! I received a text message upon arrivals and a text messages for departures. Elaine was kind and thoughtful and you can tell she really loves animals. I will certainly be using her services again in the future!! Thank you!”


“Sarma was fantastic with Kiki and communicative with us during the time we were away. She was flexible and accommodating when our travel was delayed, and we couldn’t recommend a better caretaker!”


“Alexis was great as always! Friendly, clear communication, punctual, and always willing to love on our fur baby while we are away. So happy we have her to count on when things come up!”


“Stephanie has been an amazing ongoing sitter for my cat Vashti. She has so much care for my cat and is truly an amazing cat photographer. Would very highly recommend!”

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I do take up to 4 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.
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: Hi fur-parents, Pick me and lll promise you I’ll love your fur-babies like my own. I have several years experience with walking, and sitting dogs . I’ve also been educating myself on dog training and been practicing those skills on my own dog. I know trusting a stranger with your fur-baby is hard, so I’ll make sure to keep you posted with cute pictures and a quick text on how they’re doing throughout the day. I’m smart and trustworthy, and leaving your pets to my care will be an easy going experience. I guarantee you that. That way you can focus on work or enjoy your vacation without the unneeded stress of wondering how your pet is doing. There's no time to waste so let’s meet up! I’m looking forward to hearing from you. I am currently taking online classes to get my degree, so my schedule is very flexible so I can dogsit during the weekdays and weekends. I have a dog that loves to play and will keep your dog entertained and tired by the end of the day. I also have a crate that I can use if any behavior gets out of hand
“Chachi had a good time at Ian's house. He had three beds and couches to lounge on with blankets and pillows which he enjoyed a lot. He also had outdoor yard to roam and sunbathe. He enjoyed his time.”

“For his first stay My pup Jax was a little shy going inside, his second stay he walked right in tail wagging. Laura and Charles are great, they have the perfect home and setup for your pup to feel comfortable We will continue to book with them. They are truly dog lovers”

About: Please note - I can only host dogs that get along well with other dogs, as I usually watch more than one dog at a time. Hi! I'm Maggie. 👋🏼 I've been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember. From my very first poodle when I was five years old to my sweet pup today, dogs have been one of the greatest sources of love, joy, and companionship in my life. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends and family have always trusted me with their pets while they're away, and I've learned that every dog is unique. Some are full of energy and eager to play, while others need a little extra patience, reassurance, or time to feel comfortable in a new environment. Helping each dog feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pups with a variety of medical and emotional needs. I'm comfortable administering both oral and injectable medications, following detailed care instructions, and adapting to each dog's individual routine. Whether it's supporting a nervous dog through separation anxiety, encouraging a picky eater, or simply offering extra cuddles to a pup who's missing home, I believe that thoughtful, individualized care can make all the difference. To me, caring for dogs isn't just about feeding, walking, or playtime. It's about creating a space where they feel loved, secure, and truly at home until their favorite humans return. I can't wait to bond with your best friend! Caring for pups is the main thing I do currently, other than driving Uber when I'm not booked, and some house chores or studying from home. I will be at home with your pups at all times and I will have plenty of free time to play and interact with them. We have a large porch and fully fenced back-yard with a large tree where all pups love to run around and play. If the weather is nice, we are likely to spend most of the day outside, either at home or Palmer's park across the street. We allow our pups and guest pups on the couches and beds. I make sure the pups get a lot of attention and interactions, and also some needed down-time.
“I’m that paranoid puppy parent who always thinks the worst- but David and his fiancée were super kind and communicative the whole time. It was great to know my puppy was in good hands- They were also very considerate of the heat today and made sure Machi stayed safe and hydrated! I’m very grateful to them and will definitely use them again in the future. Thank you!!!”

“Johnny and Rosa took such great care of Buddy! He had a great, full day with new friends and plenty of time for naps and pics! Would definitely have him stay again”

“Sarah and Walter took great care of my little guy. He felt really comfortable there and made himself at home. He had a good time and became Walter's shadow and his new BFF. Thanks so much guys!”

“On very short notice, Ruben agreed to take care of our pup for the day when another sitter flaked out. 😑 He was glad to have Titus join the little pack of dogs at his house, and he made sure that Titus was comfortable around them. We had to push back our pickup time a bit, and Ruben was super understanding. It’s clear that there’s a reason why he has so many happy reviews and high ratings!”


“Megan was a great host for our pups! Very willing to accommodate our schedule and responsive before and during our trip. Our two dogs had a great time during day care at her place and come home tuckered out both days they stated there. Thanks for taking such good care of them!”

“Lio's first stay with Amy was a real success....he felt right at home with her warm and caring manner and it was obvious to me that her house is genuinely a place were dogs are genuinely liked and appreciated. I hope this first experience will offer Lio and I a reliable, safe, and consistent source of daycare and boarding in the future. Thanks! Luisiana”

“Leaving Luna with Christine was such a great experience. Christine was extremely communicative, sending pictures and updates throughout the day. She left us with the most adorable goody bag as well, with a Polaroid to commemorate Luna’s stay. Above and beyond - would not hesitate to use her again.”

“Leeraz was so great with our 7 month old puppy! She gives the pups lots of love and attention, and sends tons of photo and video updates. Will definitely be using her again!”

“Brenda and Milo were great. Their home was welcoming and safe, and I was regularly updated on Pattu’s activities during the day. She can’t wait to see them again!”


“Arlene was such a blessing. She took our 10 month old puppy for a day. She is a ball of energy and Arlene was kind and patient with her. She was good at communicating and drop off/pick up was easy.”

“Elliott is amazing! My 7 month old puppy was a nervous/anxious mess around new situations and I’ve been so worried to bring him to just any daycare. I found Elliott and my dog Jax warmed up quickly, and ended up playing with all the other dogs in daycare! He came home and was walking around the block SO confident after just one day at daycare. The pic/video updates are also wonderful. So grateful I found Elliott, will definitely be using him from now on.”

Not only do I recommend her, but I will continue to use her as long as she is doing this job.”

“Carly was very accommodating and kind with our dog. She walked him 3 days in a row and was clearly a great companion for our little guy. We really appreciated all her help!”

“Salem loves Obie and I couldn’t be more grateful! They were a joy to have over for a little meet and greet with my pup Obie. He is an opinionated sassy cattle dog and would not do well with a stranger coming in unannounced! Fortunately, he loves Salem and is getting more confident each walk they do. They always give me picture and text updates while walking! I could be happier with our new dog walker ! Thanks Salem!”


“Chris was great! My dog Woody was very happy with his experience and so was I. Communication was easy, and he made sure to give my dog lots of love and attention. Thanks Chris!”
