“Mike and Joanna were absolutely amazing! I needed last-minute care for my dog, and they responded almost instantly. From the start, they were friendly, professional, and incredibly accommodating. They took such great care of my dog and made the whole experience completely stress-free for me. It was clear that my dog was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. What really surprised me was that they even sent my dog home with free gifts — such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture, especially for such a short stay! I can’t recommend Mike and Joanna enough. If I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would. Thank you both for going above and beyond!”
“Ashley took great care of our dog! She provided daily updates and photos and was very responsive to messages. We would definitely recommend her!”
“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!”
“It was our first time using Rover and having Elizabeth watch our very energetic 8 month old Lab/Hound Pup. I cannot recommend highly enough the care that our dog Oliver received while we were gone. Elizabeth and her family took such loving care of our dog while we were away with lots of walks, snuggles, and a few treats too :) Thank you for watching our pup while we were gone and I know next time we are away Oliver will be so happy to spend time with his new friends!”
“Katrina is an amazing caregiver. Incredibly thoughtful and caring. Excellent communication. Fun pictures. I felt completely comfortable with Katrina watching my little one 🐶🙏”
“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!”
“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.”
“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 !”
“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!”
“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!”
“Cheyanne was amazing. She had great communication and my dog can be timid and not eat much at dog sitters but she didn't have that problem with her. Best sitter! Thank you”
“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!”
“Ann takes such good care of my dog and truly treats him like her own! She’s very flexible and gives great updates, really appreciate her good communication!”
“Great experience with Kyla, it was my first time using the service for my Teddy and I was really nervous to not have him with family who normally watch him and since my daughter was moving same weekend(who normally has watched him) I said let me read reviews and go with it. Kyla kept me informed on Teddy’s progress with pictures and videos and my boy seemed happy to be there. I will use again in future for upcoming trips.”
“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.”
“Outstanding host for our two fur babies! Anytime we find a sitter as caring and keen to detail as Mia was to our dogs, we cling on! She’s reliable and she goes the extra mile to make sure the dogs are comfortable and well taken care of. This was a last minute booking because their other sitter was unavailable, however, we feel so lucky to have found her, she adores our dogs and it shows in the interaction between them through the daily photos. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Nathan is fantastic. He’s knowledgeable, great with all dogs, and someone you can truly trust with your pet. We felt completely at ease, and will absolutely be booking with him again.”
“Monica and Calvin always are so caring for my baby boy Aris. I look forward to the daily updates and pictures. They really take care of his physical and emotional wellbeing, so Aris is always the happiest pup during his stay.”
“Angel was very responsive and accommodated early check in. He made sure Dobby is comfortable with his pets before going in and sent regular photos and updates with what Dobby had been up to. Definitely recommend to anyone in the Chicago area.”

“Joselin was so kind and responsive. He took care of my sweet baby cat for two days very well. She is so communicative! She sent a lot of photos and videos of my cat. Highly recommended.”
About: I absolutely love cats. I have 2 kitties of my own (Scully & Cloud) and they're awesome. I enjoy playing and cuddling with them. On occasion I've had to administer medication to them in the past as well, so if you need that.
“Sarah did a fantastic job looking after my two senior cats while I was out of town. She was communicative and followed my instructions for feeding and giving meds perfectly. I could relax and enjoy my break knowing that my cats were in good hands while I was away!”
“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.”
“Mariam was great with checking on our cat, Tom, while we were away for the long weekend! Mariam kept us updated with how he was doing and was overall very responsive and excellent to work with! Thank you!”
“This is my second time asking Ericka to pet sit for us & she went above and beyond regarding the communication required to successfully pick up our key. After our coordinating was complete, my cat Quesita’s needs were met and I was able to have a lot of peace of mind knowing that she was being properly looked after. I would highly recommend Ericka for anyone seeking a responsible, responsive, and flexible pet-sitter!”
“Chelsea did an amazing job caring for my kitties over the holidays! First, I ended up booking shorter notice and Chelsea responded immediately, was flexible, and was able to accommodate me and my babies. Chelsea was a great communicator when she was caring for my kitties, she gave consistent updates about how they were doing, as well as the tasks she completed when caring for them (refilling food and water, cleaning the litter box). I really appreciated the time and effort Chelsea put into caring for my babies, especially during the holiday time. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Yesenia is my go-to catsitter because she is SO reliable and my cats are always calm and relaxed when I come home from a trip. I could not recommend her more strongly.”
“Wendy took such great care of my cats! She gave detailed updates of each visit and took a lot of cute pictures. It's comforting knowing they were well taken care of while I was away!”
“Julianne sat for our cat during a recent vacation. We'd recently brought a sweet, lovable stray cat into our home and were worried about finding the right cat sitter who would care about our Callie as much as we did. We met a few cat sitters and Julianne was the only one who offered ideas for ways to make Callie feel more comfortable while we were gone. One of the suggestions was scheduling youtube bird shows to come on the tv during the day. Callie LOVED this! So much so that even after we returned from vacation, Callie would look up at the tv screen expecting for birds to appear….well of course as any good cat mom would do, I put the birdies on for her! I appreciated Julianne's thoughtfulness and true desire to engage with Callie on her terms ;) We will definitely be working with Julianne in the future.”
“Molly did drop-in visits for my cat Maizie while I was out of town and she was great! Maizie can be shy and anxious with new people and Molly was very patient with her. Molly was also willing to administer Maizie's daily oral medication (and to build the necessary trust with Maizie to do so), which was very important to me. I also appreciated how communicative Molly was and how quickly she responded to questions I had while I was away. I would definitely recommend Molly for cat-sitting/cat care!”
“Great with dogs! Daphne gave our 11yr old and 1yr old so much love and attention during her mid day drop in visits, we are grateful for her service. Wonderful and easy to work with and we will definitely use again.”
“1st time away from my kids for more than two nights & also this was my 1st time using Rover. Anxiety is running super high but everything went off without a hitch. Nicole was extremely professional an took great care of my kids! I will be using Rover & hoping that I can book Nicole again.”
“Netiya took wonderful care of our Babycakes! She is responsive, communicative and truly cares about the pets she takes care of. We will absolutely re-book Netiya on our next trip, knowing that she was there and taking care of things gave us peace of mind. I've never seen my cat so happy, either - she really made a huge difference. Thanks, Netiya!”
About: Cats are my favorite animals! I love hanging out with them, especially cats who are friendly but a little bit chaotic—they really crack me up. In recent years, I’ve cared for my close friend’s cat, Mona, who is chill and likes to hang around with occasional play time. I’ve cared for my sisters two younger cats (under 6 months) who are clingy and playful! My favorite cats are my partner’s, a group of 3, Atlas, Rayita, and Charli. They all have very different personalities but all are occasionally crazy, very cuddly, and super adventurous! I really enjoy providing cats with the care and attention they need to thrive.
“Kexin was an amazing sitter! She came over for a meet and greet and asked questions and took notes about how best to take care of my cat Camomile. I would recommend her services to anyone! :)”

“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.”
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!
“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!”

“Ashley and her daughter Marina are incredibly conscientious and caring. Every time I bring my dog to their place, he is excited to run up the stairs and be reunited with his extended family. He truly loves them, and I can see how much they love him as well. 10/10, would recommend Ashley’s services to anyone!”
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!.
“Katrina was just the best! Couldn’t be happier with the care our Loki got. The pictures and updates I received during his stay provided great peace of mind while we were away! 11/10 recommend”
“It was a last minute booking but she was responsive and took Oreo in. He was exhausted after his day care ! She also provided updates and pics . I will absolutely use again ! Thank you”
“My dog loves Tamara! I’ve been using her for over a year and only trust her to watch my dog who has bad anxiety and is skiddish with most people. When I drop her off, she doesn’t even know I’m there anymore. That makes me happy since my baby has anxiety bad. Definitely recommend her. She’s very caring and accommodating!”
“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!”
“Vick is the best! Flexible, easy to communicate with, super nice, dependable, thoughtful, and caring! Best of all, he treated my old, anxious, nearly blind dog with kindness and expertise. She really loved staying at his house. It's obvious that he really loves and understands dogs. He's an amazing dog sitter. Thank you!”
About: Hi, my name is Erika, and I recently decided to join the app because I love hanging out with dogs and cats. I've always loved animals and have grown up with a wide array of dogs, cats, lizards, and small rodents. Having recently moved to an apartment in Chicago, I currently do not have any pets, but I miss having furry friends around! I am always asked to watch my mother's two dogs and cat when she travels, and friends' pets when they travel. I’m comfortable with basic training, daily routines, walks, feeding, and understanding dog and cat behavior. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on keeping a safe and happy environment. I’m happy to send regular photo and message updates and will follow the owners’ instructions carefully. I am a fully remote employee and can accommodate your pet's schedule as needed. There are a few parks nearby for us to wander and take in new smells, and I am more than happy to take your dog for short/longer walks. Non-smoking, clean apartment, with parks nearby. I live on the 3rd floor but have access to an elevator. I am reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I will follow your instructions carefully and ensure your pet feels safe and pampered during their stay.
“Mylo had a really nice time with David and his dogs. He came home happy and tired. David took nice care of Mylo and sent a lot of photos and updates from time to time. We will definitely approach David next time!”
“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs (small mostly) since I was 11. I grew up with two chihuahuas and am currently fully in love with my mom’s current weenie dog. I’ve fostered 3 small/medium dogs in the past 2 years and am trusted with my friends and families dogs for walking and sitting. I work from home Mondays and Fridays and am usually home most weekends (unless I’m traveling). I’m able to be home with the dog and take on walks for most of the day. I live less than a block from Harrison Park, so I will be able to take the dog for a walk and some exercise daily. I also happy to lounge on the couch and bed with the dog if they need plenty of company and rest. Dogs are little fur babies to me and they will be the royalty in the home. Be prepared for many pictures.

“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.”
“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!”
“It was a pleasure working with Chauntrell to walk my boy! I received great progress pics and solid communication during the process. I appreciate knowing my son was well taken care of while I couldn’t be home. Thank you, Chauntrell!”
About: i’m patient, detail-oriented, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. i take the time to make shy or anxious pets feel safe and comfortable, and i adjust my approach depending on their energy level and needs. i’m also very reliable with routines and communication, so you can trust your pet is getting consistent care and attention. pet care is part of my everyday routine, as i currently care for two kittens with consistent feeding, cleaning, and play schedules. i’m used to planning my day around their needs, so incorporating additional pet care is something i can do reliably & consistently. when caring for pets in a client’s home, i focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. i follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any specific preferences your pet has. i take the time to understand each cat’s personality—whether they’re social or more independent—and adjust my approach so they feel comfortable in their own space. i also keep the home tidy and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I love caring for dogs and cats! I have had my own pets throughout my life and I’ve recently been able to provide care to my close friends’ and family’s animals—from calmer to more chaotic kitties, energetic and relaxed dogs, I love the spirit that different animals bring to my life. I’m excited for the opportunity to provide your pet with the safety, care and fun that it needs to thrive! I currently work from home apart from 2 days in office each month, so I am able to provide constant care and attention to a pet. I am active and always looking for opportunities to get outside, so I’d love to have the opportunity to go on long dog walks. I currently have no pets living in my home with me. I have a partially fenced backyard and I live in a very walkable neighborhood, near a fenced in open dog park.
“Nataliia has been great! My dog can be a little anxious, but she is patient and built trust right away. It’s such a relief knowing he is in kind, capable hands. We especially appreciate the detailed updates after each walk—it shows genuine care and professionalism.”
“Kexin is so amazing with our big pup, Ace! She is reliable, trustworthy, and great with dogs! She always sends us plenty of updates and photos of their adventures, even when they happen to be in the rain!!”
“Kaia had a great time with Annie today; brief walk and some cuddle time. She also sent great photos and even brought in our package from the lobby. Thank you! Looking forward to using her services.”
About: While I do not currently share my life with a dog of my own (it's a matter of being unable to adopt every dog I lay my eyes on!), I dearly love helping pet parents keep their dogs happy and healthy and preferably in their own homes while their owners are away. I love to travel,and love to spend time with as many dogs as I can possibly fit into my day. You can often find me chatting with others about their animals, and I am always interested in hearing about every little detail. I enjoy helping people get a greater understanding regarding the welfare of their animals, and sometimes bore my friends with random and obscure dog breeds, and what I know of their temperament and behavior. I'm proud to say I try to research as many breeds as I can so that I know what to expect, and hey, it's always fun to just know why and how a breed came into existence! I happen to also be studying veterinary technology, for the knowledge of nutrition and behavior, since surgery is more information than I want. :D I am also very happy to drop by or stay with your cats, and am quite used to the varying personalities of these small creatures: the ones who like to play hide and seek, the aloof, the playful, and the grumpy. I don't mind at all, as long as the cat is comfortable, eating, and using their litter box, all is well! I can work my day around your dog or cat, as I am a dedicated sitter, and much prefer to spend my time enjoying the company of cats and dogs as much as I can. I much prefer to stay with the dog or cat in their own home, as having their familiar surroundings help them remain peaceful, happy, and comfortable.
About: As a dog owner for 14 years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including seniors who need extra patience and attention. I genuinely love dogs and will treat your pet with the same care and affection I would my own. I currently work full-time 3 days/week in-person. I’m available to walk or sit on my off days. Just a heads up my availability can vary week to week I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I respect their space and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to ensure every pet feels loved, secure, and well cared for.
About: I love animals! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in pet care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I currently work from home Tuesdays and Fridays so I’m available anytime those days for walking and play dates. I am available Monday, Wednesday and Thursday after 3:00 and any time on the weekends. I have a Boston Terrier of my own name Jax – love him so much !! I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "fur baby". I couldn't imagine my life without Jax. He brings so much joy and happiness to my life. Seeing his little faces everyday just puts a smile on my face! I will walk and care for you pet as if they are my own. I am trustworthy, reliable and always punctual so if you need someone to a walk your dog while you are at work, working late, venturing on a night on the town or just need someone to check in on them and play I am your girl. I will send pictures and videos to let you know they are in good hands.
“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.”
“My pup is always excited to see her! She’s careful to make sure she’s well exercised and safe on their walks, and always checks in with me before taking her to new places (ie a new dog park) :) would book with her any day.”
“Netiya is very friendly and great with my dog Tasia! She is very reliable and I can feel comfortable that Tasia is in good hands while I am at work. I love that she sends me pictures of Tasia from every walk. She is also great at communicating and will respond to me right away. One day I had an emergency and I couldn't get anyone to be home with Tasia, and she was more than willing to run over and take her out! I would 100% recommend Netiya to anyone!”
About: I just recently had a beautiful baby boy, and before him I’ve had my beautiful fur babies. I have two dogs that I love and treat as my sons. Making that a total of three sons (one baby boy,two dogs), my dogs are small but I also have had dogs that were much bigger than I am. My dog that was bigger than I was had to go to doggy heaven, but it explains that I have experience with different sizes and breeds. I love animals and would love to be apart of your fur baby’s life. I wouldn’t mind dog sitting or dog walking. Let me know if you need me, I am available more in the evening or available to schedule if needed.

“Ashley took great care of our dog! She provided daily updates and photos and was very responsive to messages. We would definitely recommend her!”
“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!”
“It was our first time using Rover and having Elizabeth watch our very energetic 8 month old Lab/Hound Pup. I cannot recommend highly enough the care that our dog Oliver received while we were gone. Elizabeth and her family took such loving care of our dog while we were away with lots of walks, snuggles, and a few treats too :) Thank you for watching our pup while we were gone and I know next time we are away Oliver will be so happy to spend time with his new friends!”
“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 !”
“Nathan is fantastic. He’s knowledgeable, great with all dogs, and someone you can truly trust with your pet. We felt completely at ease, and will absolutely be booking with him again.”
“Angel was very responsive and accommodated early check in. He made sure Dobby is comfortable with his pets before going in and sent regular photos and updates with what Dobby had been up to. Definitely recommend to anyone in the Chicago area.”
“Per usual, Cocoa was in the best hands with Christina. She loves going over, so much so she dragged me there this time. I love all the updates and never have any second thoughts dropping her off with Christina!”
“Katie was great! Our dog had an injury that required some extra care and Katie made sure our pup was well taken care of and kept us updated throughout our dog’s stay”
“Jenna went above and beyond for Doris. She was super communicative and sent plenty of updates. I was elated knowing Doris was in good hands. I couldn’t recommend Jenna enough.”
“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.”
“Sam took great care of my boy Kimi when I was out of town. I appreciated the daily updates, pictures and videos! She made sure Kimi stayed warm when snow storm hit and made Kimi felt like being at home. Would definitely choose Sam again if I need a sitter in the future!”
“Steven was very communicative during pickup and drop off. He shared regular updates and photos of Polo that put us in peace of mind. Polo had a very nice and comfy stay with Steven. And I’d recommend Steven to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter in the area.”
“Ruben is an absolute HERO. I was struggling to find someone to keep my fur babies (dog & cat) long enough because work kept extending my trip away from home and that’s where a Ruben came in. He worked within my budget, picked up & dropped off my animals while I was already out of town and even left us a little goodie bag. Both Cocoa and Willie came back happy and healthy! Would recommend Ruben 20/10!”
About: Your Best Friend in Downtown Chicago Hi there! I’m a recently retired professional and a lifelong dog lover, currently enjoying an active and fulfilling lifestyle in Downtown Chicago (60601 area). After a rewarding career, I am now focusing my time on my true passion: providing top-tier care, safety, and companionship for dogs. My experience is deeply personal. I am the proud owner of a 100-pound "gentle giant" whom I rescued from a shelter eight years ago. Raising her has been one of my most rewarding journeys; it taught me the importance of patience, positive reinforcement, and how to truly understand the unique personality of every dog—especially those who may have had a rough start. Today, she is an incredibly well-socialized and gentle host who loves making new friends. Whether your pup is a high-energy athlete, a shy rescue, or a senior who prefers a slow stroll, I have the experience and heart to cater to their specific needs. What We’ll Do Together My location is a paradise for urban pups! My routine is built around being outdoors, and I typically walk my own dog at least three times a day. When your pet stays with me or joins me for a walk, they will enjoy: Park Playtime: We are located just steps away from a local dog park for social interaction and fresh air. Scenic Strolls: I am just a 5-minute walk from the beautiful Lake Shore sidewalk path, offering refreshing lake breezes and plenty of mental stimulation. Personalized Attention: Because I am retired, your pet isn't just a "stop" on a list. They become part of my day, receiving focused attention, consistent supervision, and plenty of companionship. Availability & Commitment Since I am fully retired and live right here in the neighborhood, I offer exceptional availability. Unlike sitters with a 9-to-5 or a long commute, I am home throughout the day. This means: Constant Supervision: For boarding and daycare, your pet will rarely be left alone. Flexible Scheduling: I can easily accommodate specific feeding times, medication windows, or last-minute walk requests. Professional Reliability: I treat every guest dog with the same level of care and safety I give my own. You can expect regular "Rover Cards" with photos and updates, so you can rest easy knowing your furry family member is thriving in a safe, experienced home. I look forward to meeting you and your pup for a "Meet & Greet" to ensure we are a perfect match! As a recently retired professional, my daily routine revolves around staying active and enjoying the outdoors. I am very disciplined with my own dog’s schedule, and we head out for at least three walks every single day. Being located in 60601, I take full advantage of our local dog park and the beautiful Lake Shore path. Your pet will simply be joining our established, healthy, and consistent routine. Whether it's a brisk morning walk or a relaxed afternoon stroll, I have the flexibility and the passion to ensure your dog gets all the exercise, fresh air, and attention they need throughout the day.
“Kyla was very accommodating and communicative with watching my dog. I appreciate her flexibility as sometimes he can be moody and other times he’s very playful. My dog enjoyed himself very much and was exhausted from all the play time when we made it home. I look downward to booking with her again in the near future.”
“Excellent as always! Great communication and our dog always is excited when he realizes he is going to Iwona’s. She takes great care of him and he seems to have a great time!”
