“Clarissa did a very amazing job of watching my dog. My dog got plenty of walks and attention and play time, and was definitely in good spirits when I came to pick her up after this stay.

I highly recommend letting your pet stay with Clarissa and will most definitely be contacting her again to watch Coco in the future.”

He sent me daily pictures and videos of Dean, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. Mario made sure Dean received his medication on time and gave him plenty of love and attention. I could tell that Dean was in good hands the whole time. Thank you, Mario, for your excellent care and professionalism. I will definitely be reaching out to you again in the future!”
“Conor and his family watched our 2 little dogs for a weekend and we’ve never been more comfortable with a place we’ve had watch them! Conor was an excellent communicator, frequently updating us with pictures and updates of our little guys just to let us know that all was well. Our little dogs were really comfortable there all weekend, and we will absolutely have Conor and his family at the top of our list for boarding next time we need help. It was a great experience sending our dogs to stay with someone so kind and trustworthy. We will be using them again soon. Highly recommend!”

“Nicholas did a great job looking after my cat. She was always very shy and he would make sure to find where she was which would sometimes take a bit longer as she found new hiding spots. He completed all tasks that I asked of him. He was always on time and very professional.”
“Janette and Charles did a wonderful job caring for our recently adopted cat while we were out of town!! They sent photos and videos and gave us great updates while we were away.

About: Hello, my name is Hannah. I am a part time art instructor and online Art Therapy student. I prioritize attentiveness and timeliness in my teaching as well as dog walking and sitting. I love all animals, have dog walked locally on and off since I was in middle school, and have had a dog of my own for 10 years. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I am an active person and look forward to taking your pet on frequent walks, or even runs! I’m currently working part-time and attending online school, so I have a lot of availability for overnight dog sitting, as well as many walks and drop-ins throughout the day. Besides a few mid-day classes and teaching the occasional night class, my schedule allows me to be very flexible. I treat all pets the way I would want my own dog, Sailor, to be treated. Your pets safety and happiness are my top priorities! I aim to create a stress free experience for you, and a fun experience for your pet.
“Emilee was awesome. She's super professional, and very warm and friendly and the cats were definitely pampered. She sent me several cute photos of the cats during her stay and when I got home they were so chill and the house was immaculate. I would highly recommend her.”
“Best sitter ever! Helped our anxious dogs through a week of our absence and allowed my family and I to enjoy a vacation and family wedding with ease! Thank you SO much, Yazmin!”
About: I have taken care of cats almost my entire life. I am very diligent about play time and scooping the litter box. I will also make sure to send you lots of pictures during your time away. Lastly, medication management and feeding are very important to me. As a nursing student, I find it best to collaborate with the owners and make lists in order to make sure your pet is healthy and happy.
About: Cats have always been a huge part of my life. Since I was young, I’ve always had a special love and admiration for them — I’m very much a cat person through and through. 😻 I naturally understand and respect their unique personalities, boundaries and routines. Every cat is so different — some are playful and social, while others are shy, independent, or need time to warm up — and I always adjust my approach to meet them where they are. I focus on creating a calm, safe and comfortable environment where your cat can feel at ease. Whether that means playtime, gentle companionship or simply giving them space while still being a reassuring presence nearby, I follow their lead — as you often have no other choice with kitties 😹 they truly do what they want! I also know the importance of paying close attention to their body language, moods and habits so I can make sure they feel understood, secure, and cared for while you’re away. 💗
“Jessica has looked in our 3 cats a couple times now and she’s amazing at not only feeding and playing with our cats, but administering oral medication, shots and asthma inhalers. She will put your mind at ease about your pets.”
“Karina was awesome! Our cat Francis loved her and she really helped us out last minute, even on a busy weekend for herself. She was great at sharing pics with us and keeping us updated on her arrivals and anything else we needed to know. Will definitely book with Karina again!”
“Leah did an amazing job taking care of our two kittens. She had great communication before starting, during and after the visits and sent great notes and photos. Will hire again! The kittens loved her.”
“We had a great experience with Jackie. She came to our home daily to feed and check on our cat. Jackie was always on time, reliable, kind and cared about making sure our cat was comfortable and well taken care of. We loved seeing pictures she sent. Her son played with our cat which made us so happy and reassured that our cat was getting extra love and attention. It gave us a real peace of mind when we were away. We would definitely recommend her and happily book her again!”
“Georgia watched our 2 cats over the holidays. She made sure they were well cared for and went above and beyond. We received daily pictures and detailed notes about their well being. We will happily ask Georgia to care for our pets in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life! From neighbors to friends/family! It’s my favorite and brings me so much happiness! That’s why I currently own two small dogs. Im currently a stay at home mom and would love to host some different pups! My two schnauzers love making friends. It would be awesome for everyone! I walk my dogs multiple times a day and take them to my local dog park! I’m home so I’m able to focus all my attention on your little one.
About: Hello! I'm a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Throughout my life, I've shared my home with six dogs of my own and several foster dogs. Additionally, I have experience raising puppies, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with different needs and temperaments. Many years ago, I worked in a veterinary clinic, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals and assisting with their medical needs. Because of that experience, I am comfortable administering medications, including pills and injections, if needed. I currently work primarily from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. Your pet will never be left alone for more than six hours, and in most cases, they'll enjoy having me nearby throughout the day. I live in a single-family home with a secure fence around the whole property, giving dogs plenty of safe space to run, play, explore, and burn off energy. While many dogs are perfectly happy playing in the yard, I'm also happy to take dogs on walks upon request at no additional charge. I have my own dog, River, about half the time, as I share custody with my ex. River is wonderful with other dogs; her favorite thing is creating a "puppy pile" by curling up next to—or sometimes right on top of—whoever happens to be nearby. If your dog enjoys canine companionship, they'll likely have a new cuddle buddy. My love for animals extends beyond dogs. I adopted an elderly cat from a family friend who could no longer care for her, and I also adopted a turtle from a friend who moved. My turtle now enjoys a comfortable home in a spacious 100-gallon aquarium. Providing animals with safe, enriching environments is something I genuinely enjoy. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you're away. I have been a foster mom to dogs, so if I'm caring for a puppy or a dog that isn't fully potty trained, I take extra precautions, including removing rugs and closely supervising indoor time to set everyone up for success. Pet parents describe me as patient, caring, responsible, and communicative. I believe regular updates and clear communication provide peace of mind, and I'll treat your pet with the same kindness and attention I give my own animals. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home most days. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and potty breaks throughout the day. On the days I go into the office, I am never gone all day—typically no more than six hours at a time. When caring for dogs in my home, I generally provide two walks per day, along with frequent opportunities to play and go potty in my fully fenced yard. I tailor activities to each dog's age, energy level, and preferences. I strive to make pets feel comfortable and secure by maintaining a consistent routine, providing fresh water, feeding them according to their schedule, and giving them plenty of attention and enrichment. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals that require medication, including administering pills and injections when needed. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow the routines and instructions provided as closely as possible. I know that pets are often most comfortable when their schedules remain consistent, so I prioritize maintaining their normal feeding, exercise, medication, and bedtime routines. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they are away.
About: What truly sets us apart is the genuine love and attention we give every pet, treating them as if they were our own. Caring for animals has been part of my life since childhood, from dogs and cats to rabbits. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and (of course) snuggle their pets, knowing they’d be cared for with patience and kindness. Because I work from home, your pet is never alone. They receive constant companionship, supervision, and plenty of affection throughout the day. I’m attentive and experienced with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies who need play and structure to senior pets who deserve extra comfort, gentleness, and care. For added peace of mind and convenience, we’re located just minutes from O’Hare Airport with easy access to the Metra train, making drop-off and pick-up simple for frequent travelers and busy pet parents alike. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need dependable care close to home, your pet will be safe, loved, and well looked after here. Since I work from home, your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day, they’ll never feel lonely here! I have a fenced in yard with cameras and we will always monitor while pets are outside. I am a lifelong animal lovers and have cared for pets my entire life, including dogs, cats, and even rabbits. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I’d love to open my home and heart to your fur baby and treat them like part of the family.
“Helen is absolutely wonderful! Our two dogs had such a great time at her house. She was responsive and so attentive to the needs of our pets. We can’t wait to take the girls to her again soon!”
“Finley is super responsive. We booked a last minute daycare date, and Finley was great with reaching out with any questions. We also received videos and pics which is much appreciated! Thanks Finley!”
“Janessa was absolutely amazing! Her communication to understand my dog prior made me feel so comfortable, and the attentiveness/updates while Berkeley was at her home made me feel so reassured and trusting. Janessa’s home is the perfect place for your doggo to spend time at - I absolutely recommend you choose Janessa for your fur-paninis’ needs!!”
“Paula is phenomenal. My dog Molly had a blast with her. Molly is very dog selective but got along with Choclo very well. Molly also loved Paula and her mom. I got many videos and photos throughout the day and updated on how everyone is getting along. We will 100% be returning to hang out with Paula and Choclo.”
“It was Ari’s first time “out” since we adopted him 2 months ago, plus he is definitely a leash reactive dog. Do needles to say - I worried a lot. Diana was wonderful. Everything was great. She texted me and sent a video, she comforted Ari when he was missing me and I could see that he developed a trust. I am really grateful and would definitely use Diana’s services again.”
“This is the first time we’ve had someone (who is not our family) watch our dog. I was very nervous especially be in Poppy is young - she’s just a year old. Noor watched Poppy for a day. Noor was so patient with her - poppy was initially apprehensive to go in their house, but Noor took her time to ensure Poppy was comfortable. Noor asked questions about feeding, walks, general behavior & preferences. this put me at ease knowing she was thinking these. We did this trial daycare in preparation for a longer stay for Poppy later this year. Noor was also very communicative with texts and also a video! We were happy with the care poppy received and plan to book with Noor again!”
About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of breeds, from small and toy breeds to large and working breeds. I’m familiar with breed-specific needs, energy levels, and behaviors, and I tailor my care to make sure every pet receives the attention, exercise, and comfort they need. I am working part time so I have pretty open availability between mon-fri and throughout the weekend. I would have plenty of time to care for your animals! I pay close attention to behavior and health cues, which allows me to respond quickly if something seems off. Clear communication is important to me, and I keep pet parents updated with photos and detailed messages so they always know how their pet is doing. Above all, I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own.
“1st impressions is everything. It was Friday and we needed a puppy sitter on Sunday for Kira. Our first time using Karina and she took our Kira with open arms and a smile. Taking care of Kira included not just feeding and potty breaks, but also socializing with her dogs and a couple of videos of play time. THATS LOVE! Highly recommend her for puppy/dog parents who want a pleasant experience for that special member in the family. When we took Kira home, she was so exhausted from the fun she had with the other dogs, she was asleep for the rest of the night.”
“Claire is a standout. She communicates timely and effectively, is polite and professional, organized and most importantly she is incredible with dogs. Claire documented walks including duration, route and distance, and meals including time, amount of food eaten by each dog. Her feedback on my dogs' personality traits was spot on as well, demonstrating her care and attention. I would wholeheartedly recommend Claire to anyone in need of a trustworthy sitter. THANK YOU, CLAIRE!”
About: I'm a life long pet lover. I grew up with 3 dogs and 5 cats...at the same time! I pet every animal I meet. I don't know all of the folks that walk their dogs on my block, but I know their pets' names!! Just ask Rambo's (a beautiful grey great dane) dad! I work from home, so I am around all the time!! My teen boys are also around and help with picking up the poop and the walks. I have a big, fenced in yard, a big couch and a warm smile!!! Whenever we sit down to watch TV, our dogs are all over us.

“Janette was AMAZING!!! Not only was she very thorough, she was so incredibly kind and caring. Not once did I ever have any hesitation about her caring for our 2 dogs and cat while we were away for an overnight Spring Break surprise. I felt comfortable with Janette immediately upon meeting her and knew this would be a wonderful addition! She was AMAZING with our pets and sent updates and photos with every walk. Before she left, I knew we'd be using her again - she really took the panic and uncertainty out of pet care while we were away.”
“Michael was great with my 3 dogs and keeping my foster dog separate and taking him for a nice walk. He even sent me a photo. The dogs seemed to really like him! We will definitely be hiring him again! Thank you, Michael!!”
“Nicholas has been a great Rover for us! He is punctual and communicative about his visits, and he goes the extra mile spending time with our dog. We could not recommend Nicholas enough!”
“We feel so lucky to have found Mary as our dog walker. Our dog Biz absolutely loves her—and Biz is an excellent judge of character, so that says everything! Mary is incredibly reliable, honest, and kind. She’s gentle and attentive, and we always feel completely at ease knowing Biz is in such good hands. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she works with. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet.”
“Katy is wonderful! She's a natural with animals, super responsive and reliable. She took tons of pictures and gave a detailed account of the walk with my pup. I'd definitely recommend her!”
“Hannah is quick to respond and has a great touch with animals. Our pups took a liking to her right away and enjoy getting a visit midday. So far, her communication has been stellar!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for and walked all types of dogs, from small breeds to large dogs up to 80 pounds, old and young. Friends, family and neighbors trust me because I have a calm, caring energy that dogs naturally respond to. I’m dependable, loving and treat every pet as if they were my own. I am currently retired and home most of the time, so your pet will receive lots of attention, affection and frequent walks. I truly treat every fur baby as if they were my own. I live in an apartment, so walks and outdoor breaks are frequent. When house sitting, I always follow the owner’s instructions to keep pets comfortable and routines consistent.

About: I volunteered at PAWS Chicago, walked dogs at Chicago K9 Rescue, and lived and cared for a cat in the past. Super comfortable around animals.

I will be patient with your pet and try to make things as comfortable as possible for him/her. I will also respect your home and any rules you set for your house.

“Sailor had a great time with his stay-cation with Tanya! Tanya is clearly comfortable with dogs of all types, including big boys like ours. Her home and yard is doggie heaven - I think I even caught Sailor wistfully looking behind him as we drove off after pick up! I appreciated the frequent communication since our guy does have some quirks. We will definitely look to Tanya for future care.”
“Hannah is probably one of the best dog sitters I’ve met. Piper would rather stay with her than come home! Without a doubt will be using Hannah as much as possible. She sends daily updates and her timely replies and flexibility is unmatched.”
“First time boarding Goldie overnight with Finley and the stay was seamless. Finley gave updates and provided pics of our girl. She was flexible with drop off and pickup times too. Thanks Finley”
“Makda was wonderful and took great care of our pups for us. She provided us with pictures and updates of our dogs. She was also very thoughtful in caring for our fur babies. We will be sure to rover our dogs with Makda in the future!”
“Joerg & Lake were awesome! Both were super friendly, fast communication and sent updates & pictures, which gave me peace of mind. Will definitely be using them again in the future!”
About: Hello! I'm a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Throughout my life, I've shared my home with six dogs of my own and several foster dogs. Additionally, I have experience raising puppies, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with different needs and temperaments. Many years ago, I worked in a veterinary clinic, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals and assisting with their medical needs. Because of that experience, I am comfortable administering medications, including pills and injections, if needed. I currently work primarily from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. Your pet will never be left alone for more than six hours, and in most cases, they'll enjoy having me nearby throughout the day. I live in a single-family home with a secure fence around the whole property, giving dogs plenty of safe space to run, play, explore, and burn off energy. While many dogs are perfectly happy playing in the yard, I'm also happy to take dogs on walks upon request at no additional charge. I have my own dog, River, about half the time, as I share custody with my ex. River is wonderful with other dogs; her favorite thing is creating a "puppy pile" by curling up next to—or sometimes right on top of—whoever happens to be nearby. If your dog enjoys canine companionship, they'll likely have a new cuddle buddy. My love for animals extends beyond dogs. I adopted an elderly cat from a family friend who could no longer care for her, and I also adopted a turtle from a friend who moved. My turtle now enjoys a comfortable home in a spacious 100-gallon aquarium. Providing animals with safe, enriching environments is something I genuinely enjoy. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you're away. I have been a foster mom to dogs, so if I'm caring for a puppy or a dog that isn't fully potty trained, I take extra precautions, including removing rugs and closely supervising indoor time to set everyone up for success. Pet parents describe me as patient, caring, responsible, and communicative. I believe regular updates and clear communication provide peace of mind, and I'll treat your pet with the same kindness and attention I give my own animals. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home most days. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and potty breaks throughout the day. On the days I go into the office, I am never gone all day—typically no more than six hours at a time. When caring for dogs in my home, I generally provide two walks per day, along with frequent opportunities to play and go potty in my fully fenced yard. I tailor activities to each dog's age, energy level, and preferences. I strive to make pets feel comfortable and secure by maintaining a consistent routine, providing fresh water, feeding them according to their schedule, and giving them plenty of attention and enrichment. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals that require medication, including administering pills and injections when needed. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow the routines and instructions provided as closely as possible. I know that pets are often most comfortable when their schedules remain consistent, so I prioritize maintaining their normal feeding, exercise, medication, and bedtime routines. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they are away.
“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.”
“This was my first long trip away since getting Clifton and I was so lucky to find Jeff and Ron. They gave great updates and took great care of Clifton. I picked him up and he was happy and calm! Will not hesitate to send Clifton back for a stay.”
“Amanda was amazing! Very helpful in coordinating pick up and drop off, great communication and lots of updates about our pups stay. Most importantly, it’s so clear how much she enjoyed and cared for our dog. We will definitely be asking Amanda to dog-sit for our next trip!”
“Jonathon took the time to make Kenya feel comfortable. He followed my instructions and went out of his way to make things work. The only thing I would like more is additional information about walks and how he’s doing on eating, etc. I will use Jonathon again and trust him with my dog - that’s the most important thing.”
“Roman was Charise’s first ever Rover dog and we were really happy to have connected with her for our 5-day trip. Charise was a great sitter—she sent detailed updates about how Roman was doing with Navi and hope he was settling in while we were away. Her home is very clean and Charise is a very warm and welcoming host. Navi is just the cutest little nugget ever, and I could tell immediately Roman would feel right at home with Charise. Our big GSD is a big baby and throws a bit of a fit every time we leave, but Charise and Navi were patient with him while he warmed up to the idea of us being away—by the time we returned, he was fully integrated into their little family. Roman is allowed on the couch and bed for cuddles, and Charise has a full basement for the dogs to run around and play, a small yard, and she takes them together on long walks. Roman came home fully pooped from a week of playing with Navi and we’ll definitely be using Charise in the future!”
