“Ania is amazing! She’s checked in with pix and videos daily. My pup came home so happy and content. I’ll definitely be checking her schedule the next time I need a sitter. 10/10 ☺️”
“The BEST sitter we could’ve asked for! So attentive, with such a great attitude, constant communication and sweet updates throughout the day. Made us feel so calm about our little Yorkie staying with Katrina. Wonderful experience all around, would definitely be coming back! Thank you for taking such a great care if my baby :)”
“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.”
“Really appreciate Ashley take care of our dog for a long weekend! Ashley is super considerate and communicative - you can expect to receive regular updates on how your pup is doing and you can tell she goes to great lengths to ensure every pet that stays with her has a great experience. I would absolutely choose Ashley again for boarding!”
“We have a 14 year old dog who’s regular sitter could not commit to our 3 week Australia trip so I was nervous to find someone new for an older dog. Cheyanne is amazing, she has experience with older dogs and special needs, my dog was so happy with her and even found a “boyfriend” during her long stay. I did not hesitate to book her again for another long trip, our baby ran out of food but Cheyanne went to the store to buy her more “fresh pet” and even gave her a bath! Our dog loves being a high rise dog and Cheyanne spoils her just like we do.”

Her communication is excellent; she keeps us updated, responds quickly, and sends thoughtful notes, which gives us a lot of peace of mind. We also really appreciate the level of care she provides. She is attentive to our dog’s needs, patient, and responsible, and it’s clear our dog feels comfortable and happy with her. Mia goes above and beyond by being punctual, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in making sure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and positive. We’re very grateful to have found her.”

“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!”

I hope to always use Elizabeth when we’re out of town.”
About: I babysit kids often and a lot of families have cats. I would feed and play with the cat as long as it’s friendly.

Work background my first job was an summer school teachers assistant and work in healthcare with Medicare recipients

Before moving to Chicago, I worked for a reputable dog walking service in Minneapolis and volunteered at the Anti-Cruelty Society. I have professional training and hands-on experience providing daytime, evening, and overnight pet care including walks, meals, water refills, medications, and lots of tummy rubs! My personal experience includes raising a German Shephard, two Collies, and a Dachshund from pups; each have led long happy lives full of lengthy walks and tummy rubs. As a former doggy foster parent, I've hosted dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, etc. Does your furry buddy need some exercise? I'm a dependable, fun-loving, experienced dog walker and pet sitter at your service!!! I tend to work from home most of the time, so I'll have plenty of time to give your pup the love and attention he/she deserves! I live steps away from beautiful Armor Square Park and walking distance from several others. We typically take 4 walks each day; morning, afternoon, evening, and before bedtime. I do not require crate training, but my apartment has plenty of space to accommodate your crate in case your furry friend would prefer to have their own private space.

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!.

“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!”
“I was looking for daycare for my dog and am happy to have found Tamara! She’s great with communication and has been flexible which has been very helpful. And my dogs tail is always wagging when we walk up.”
“Talla was such a sweetheart. She took great care of Wilbur and made sure to update me regarding his activities and medications. She was available last minute and was very responsive and communicative!”
“Katrina was absolutely fantastic. She went above and beyond taking care of Snowy while I was visiting Chicago. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable dog care in Chicago.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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: Looking for a dog sitter with a passion for pups and years of experience? I’ve not only been a dog mom for 14 years, but recently assisting in training the now 6 month old puppy that’s in my parent’s care. I’m the #1 dog sitter amongst my network, not only because I work from home and have availability, but because I also include their fur babies in my dog’s activities as well i.e. dog park dates, dog birthday parties, and doggie brunch! I’m a full- time remote employee with a very relaxed work schedule. Your pet will be spending the majority of their time in my care. I have a fenced front yard and a patio along with one 22lbs dog that will keep your pet company. I also have a lot of space to allow the dog to move around as they would like.
“Disha was incredibly attentive and caring with Bear. She kept me in the loop with regular updates and made sure I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in great hands. Bear truly enjoyed his time with her, and it was clear he felt safe, happy, and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Disha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving for their pet.”
“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!”
“Vivian was amazing! Communicating with her was seamless and she took awesome care of my girl Maya. I loved getting pics and videos of Maya playing with her adorable pup Dior. I would def recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. Thanks for being such a great sitter.”
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.
“Neyhee was awesome as a sitter, and was great with Phantom. She was very caring and loving with him, like he was her own. I really appreciated that. Would give 10 stars.”
“Anni is so amazing!! She watches our puppy when my boyfriend is traveling and I have to be in office and she sends so many updates and our puppy Sally loves seeing her every time.”
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!

“Tamara was really flexible with my last-minute request, and did a great job communicating and taking care of my elderly dog while I was out of town. I would definitely recommend her!”
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.
“Lillian has been great with my dogs and very communicative throughout the walks. She took the time to make sure they were comfortable, shared updates and photos, and went above and beyond with their care. I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to work with my schedule, especially while I was out of town. I felt confident knowing my dogs were in good hands, and I would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.”
“I’m so grateful I found Jenna. She’s been a blessing for me and my dog. Zara is always excited to see her, and I can tell that Jenna treats my baby with so much patience and love. Jenna’s reliability and kindness mean the world to us.”
“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.”
“I couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care Chauntrell gave my pup while I was away! From the moment we connected, he was communicative, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. He sent daily updates, photos, and even little notes about how my dog was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. Chauntrell was so patient and gentle with him it didn’t take long before he was completely comfortable and excited for their walks. He treated my pup like he was their own, and that means the world to me. I highly recommend Chauntrell to anyone looking for someone dependable, loving, and professional. I will absolutely be booking with him again in the future! Thank you again for everything my friend! 🐾❤️”
“Ruthie loves seeing Anastasiia! While they don’t see each other very often, they became good friends and we love having Anastasiia care for Ruthie whenever possible.”
About: For several years, I've helped look after the pets of my family, friends, and roommates. I currently live with 3 cats, have lived with a pit lab mix for several years, and a chihuahua as well. I've taken care of pets with various temperaments, from more outgoing and energetic, to more anxious and reserved. Every pet has their own needs, personality, and boundaries. I take this into consideration every time I care for a pet. I've puppysitted for both of my sisters, will routinely look after my sister's double doodle for weeks at a time, and we're always excited to see each other. While I do not currently own any pets, I'm a proud pet uncle who is always excited to spend time with people's dogs and cats. I am currently flexible to provide pet care on any day, weekday or weekend. My only constraint is that I'm busy on Wednesday afternoons from 2pm-5pm. I'm primarily focusing on providing house sitting, dog walks, and drop-in services for both dogs and cats. In certain cases, I can provide boarding services for cats in my apartment, but not for dogs. If interested in boarding services for your cat, please contact me and we can discuss if I can provide the right service for you. I live in a large apartment with 3 cats that stay in my roommates' rooms. There are a lot of windowsills for cats to lay on, a sun room, and cat toys as well. My roommates' cats have experience being around other cats, but dogs not so much. Therefore, I'd only offer boarding services for cats, where I'd keep the cat's feeding area and litter box in my room. When housesitting and providing drop-ins, I'll ensure your home stays clean, pet stays in whatever boundaries you specify (i.e. if you don't allow your pets on furniture or certain floors). I'll respect your home as if it were my own.
“Consistent, punctual, communicative, and generous. She shows up everyday in a timely manner, cares for my dog, and even gives complementary baths and cleaning if she makes a mess. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 🤗 she offers a good range of services as well!!”
About: I've had pets since I was 9. From 9 till now I've had cats, dogs, fishes, and guinea pigs. I have experience with dealing with pets that may have previously trauma issues also with pets that may need careful care like medince or special needs. Even pets that don't need extra care just pets that wants to have long walks or need a lot of play time . I am currently in school. So I will be working part time for Rover. Evening and nights works best for the weekdays and for the weekends I am open for anytime you need. For cats do have multiple cat bags if they need to brought to a appointment or any where else. And foot dogs if you don't have a leach I can get one but I would prefer for you to have leeches and rates of pets need to be taken out of the house .
About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds before since i was a child. I was the one that was always responsible for taking care and walking the dogs for my friends and family. Im currently, in part time summer school however its online so i would have plenty of time to spoil your cute little loved ones all the time.

“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.”
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 have 12 years of hands-on experience caring for my own Chihuahua mix, along with experience caring for pets in family homes while babysitting. I adapt to each pet’s personality, whether that means active engagement or giving them space, while ensuring they feel safe, calm, and well cared for at all times. My background as a teacher’s assistant and current work in healthcare with older adults has strengthened my reliability, patience, and attention to detail. I provide calm, consistent, and attentive care for every pet. I am a fully remote worker and can work from anywhere with a quiet space. I work a daytime healthcare role Monday–Friday (9–5) and a talent agency role evenings and weekends. My work sessions are typically 2–4 hours, allowing for flexible availability and plenty of downtime for pet care. My philosophy is to leave every home better than I found it. I treat each client’s home with respect, secure it properly, allow no visitors, and prioritize the pet’s full care needs—food, water, walks, and medical attention if needed. I’m easy to communicate with and always open to house rules, questions, or concerns.
About: I have always had pets and since I started living on my own I am really missing them. I have pet sitted in the past for some family and friends while in high school, so I do have some experience with taking care of other peoples pets. I would love to give your dogs some extra care and loving on my days off! I am interning this summer and only work 4 days a week so I have more time than I know what to do with. I am typically off Monday-Wednesday. But on days that I do work I don't go in until 12:30 so I have plenty of time in the mornings! I have always loved pets and have never harmed an animal. I will do my best to take the greatest care possible of your dogs!
“Jaco & Matt had a great time together! Matt highly professional throughout the whole experience and was awesome about communicating what happened each day before, during, and after their walks. I would highly recommend Matt to any other folks who are looking for a Rover sitter in the Bridgeport area.”

“Fred took the best care of our 2 dogs. This was an 8 night job in his home! We have a rambunctious sweet younger pitbull (with no manners) and a very senior chihuahua. His place was perfect because it has no stairs for the senior doggie and Fred was willing to take the challenges if the big dog. Fred was attentive, answered calls and texts quickly, and sent us tons of pictures. He put our minds at ease on a daily basis, we have never left the dogs for so long or outside their own home. I highly recommend Fred.”
“Such patience with our beagle who can be a handful with his sensitive tummy. She kept us in the loop the whole time we were away and was so receptive to suggestions I had for keeping our pup comfortable and happy.”
