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.
“Ashley was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure that my dog was comfortable with his stay at her house while I worked. She was very communicative, made sure to have full understanding of his care, and gave him lots of love! From the moment I dropped him off, I can tell she really cares about the pets she and her daughter care for, when I picked Echo up at the end of the day, he was so sad to leave! I’ll definitely be booking with Ashley again! :)”

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!”
About: I have experience caring for pets and understand the importance of providing them with patience, attention, and a safe environment. My responsibilities have included feeding pets according to their schedules, providing fresh water, taking dogs for walks, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of exercise and companionship. I am comfortable following specific care instructions and paying close attention to each pet’s individual needs and behavior. I am dependable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. After spending 33 years working in corporate America, I am excited to begin a new chapter in life—one centered around spending more time with animals and providing them with loving, dependable care. I developed a strong sense of responsibility, reliability, patience, and attention to detail. I understands the importance of being trustworthy and following through on commitments, qualities that are just as important when caring for someone’s beloved pets. Now retired, I have the time and flexibility to give pets the attention, companionship, exercise, and care they deserve. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and creating a safe, comfortable environment where they can feel happy and relaxed. For me, pet care is more than simply a responsibility—it’s an opportunity to enjoy the companionship of animals while giving their owners peace of mind that their pets are in caring and capable hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My loft provides a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel at home. When your pet stays with me, you can feel confident knowing they’re receiving attentive, loving care in a safe home away from home. My goal is simple: for you to have peace of mind and for your pet to feel loved, secure, and comfortable.
“Pamela is the sweetest and Charlie simply LOVES her. I'm so grateful that she cares for him so lovingly and truly enjoys him. She sends sweet updates that warm my heart. Why leave him alone when he can be so well cared for! I'll book with her again and again!!”

“Divya is the GOAT. From beginning (before drop off) to end (after pick up) she was attentive to not only my dog’s well-being and happiness, but also my questions. She was very responsive and had top tier communication with me throughout the day. She even sent pictures of my dog and gave updates on how she was doing. I’d strongly recommend her if you are looking for someone to care for your pet, and I’ll definitely be rebooking :)”
About: I’ve taken care of or have had animals since I was a child. Currently I have a cat named Ida who is very sweet & affectionate. I just graduated with a Master’s of Social Work. Before beginning my career, I’m taking some down time and taking care of animals. This gives me the ability to prioritize your pets needs! My environment is animal friendly. I have a fenced in back yard and live near a park. I have a cat named Ida who is welcoming to new animals inside our home. I allow animals on my bed and furniture.
“We were visiting Chicago for a graduation and left our young golden retriever with Jennifer and her family. They have a nice yard set up and there were other dogs there for her to play with. They sent a video each day, which we appreciated, as well. Thank you!”
About: Hi! I’m 32 years old and live in Chicago with my sweet and wonderful cat, Simon. My connection with animals started at a very young age, with my first best friend, Pablo — a 40kg Dalmatian who was my partner in crime for many years. We took care of each other and, whenever the neighbors needed a little help, somehow we ended up taking care of most of the neighborhood too! As I grew up and moved between different countries, animals continued to be an important part of my life. Along the way, I’ve had the chance to meet and care for many different furry friends, each with their own personality and way of connecting. Today, Simon is my little companion, and I’d love to bring that same care, patience, and affection to your pets while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands — and I treat every animal as an individual, with plenty of attention, respect, and love. I run my own company, so my days are busy and flexible. I always make time for animals, because they bring balance, joy, and connection. I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of animals and helping with whatever they need — from visits, walks, baths, and cleanup to playtime, companionship, and simply being there when they need someone around. I also understand that every animal has a different way of adapting to a new environment. I’m currently going through this process with Simon after moving into a new home, and it has taught me even more about how important patience and trust are. For them, everything is new: the people, the smells, the sounds, and the surroundings. It takes time to understand what feels safe. Simon loves going for walks, so we’ve been taking it step by step. Every day, we explore a little farther, stopping to sniff and investigate until a strange noise tells him, “Okay, time to go home!” 😄 Our building’s main lobby, which was once completely unfamiliar, is now a place where he feels comfortable walking around and spending time with me. And soon, I’m hoping Millennium Park will become part of our little adventure too! :) That’s the same approach I bring to every pet I care for: no rushing, no forcing — just patience, attention, and allowing them to build confidence at their own pace.
“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.”

“Twix loves her so much! He knows her car at this point and is jumping for us to let him go with his friend.

“Artiss has walked my pup multiple times, and he has always been happy to see her! She has done a great job managing his high energy level, sent wonderful photo updates, and always made sure he went to the bathroom.”
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid. My many years of pet ownership has trained me for this opportunity. My Chewy is both happy and healthy. I’m recently retired. My daily schedule is built around the needs of my boy, Chewy. He’s walked at minimum three (3) times a day; my friends and family know the routine. I have a secure deck to allow fresh air and free movement with guaranteed security. I have a crate if needed, but think all dogs should have free movement daily.
About: I love puppies and letting them get socialized! I have a 5 month old puppy myself and choosing me to watch your baby would be an honor! I work from home so your pup will never be alone!

“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.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Before joining Rover, I regularly used Wag to walk and care for dogs, so I’m familiar with working with different breeds, temperaments, routines, and owner preferences. I’m new to Rover, but not new to dog walking or pet care. I’ve also cared for dogs in my own home and helped friends and family with their pets. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, senior dogs, shy dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I enjoy long walks, exploring new neighborhoods, and making sure every dog gets the exercise, enrichment, and care they need. I live on Chicago's Far South Side, but most of my clients are in neighborhoods farther north, including Lincoln Park, Fulton Market, and nearby areas. I’m happy to travel for scheduled walks and drop-in visits, so I’m a good fit if you’re looking for a reliable walker or sitter who is willing to come to you. I’m happy to accommodate each dog’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, special instructions, and plenty of updates while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or a reliable sitter, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine through caring for my own dogs. I’m used to incorporating walks, feeding, play, training, and general care into my day and paying close attention to each dog’s individual needs. I currently work part-time, and I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable managing dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize safety and make sure all dogs are comfortable with one another. In clients’ homes, I follow their routines and instructions closely and focus on keeping their pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Jozelin took Leo on morning walks while I was out of town for a few days. She followed my instructions, was respectful of the space, & was able to handle my Leo. Will book again!! Tyyy”
About: I am a CPR certified pet sitter who loves animals and loves to care for things. I have no pets of my own because I travel often for my full-time job . However. , I look forward to building a trust worthy, healthy relationship with you and your animal family. I currently work from home full-time so I have flexible hours.

I live alone and a very nice neighborhood full of lots of trees and families. I keep a very neat and nice home free of anything that could harm animals.

“Levi (Elizabeth) is an incredible sitter with my grumpy old dog! He’s a very difficult boy to work with and barks and barks at her, yet she is patient, kind, and gentle with him, meeting him on his terms. Highly, highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve always been the go-to among family and friends to watch their animals when they are gone for trips or vacations or need extra help. I’m an avid walker in general, and a walk is always better with a pet! I’ve volunteered for two years at animal shelters, trained and raised a puppy, and have experience caring for pets young and old. I’m currently a writer, remote copy-editor, and substitute teacher with an incredibly flexible schedule at the moment. I can watch, walk, and care for dogs and cats pretty much 24/7 at the moment. The only thing I cannot do is host animals in my home due to my apartment’s lease. Every pet is different and every pet owner cares for their pet differently. Let me know all your animals quirks and needs and I’ll meet them happily! I’d love to walk your dog around the park or neighborhood, give them them their special treats, respect your cat’s weird boundaries and quirks, etc, etc. :)
“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 felt confident knowing my dogs were in good hands, and I would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.”

About: I have experience caring for both energetic dogs who need structure and movement, as well as more sensitive pets who benefit from patience, gentle routines, and clear communication.

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life, and I wouldn't have it any other way. At home in Colombia, my house was full of paws: four cats, a shepherd dog, and a beagle before that. I've also pet sat for friends' dogs, including a Yorkie and a Cocker Spaniel. I have a special patience for puppies: the training, the energy, the chaos; I genuinely love it. And since I'm not working right now, your pet gets my full attention, all day long. No rushing home after a shift, just 100% focused, loving care. I live in Hyde Park, right in front of Harold Washington Park, and just minutes from Jackson Park, so long walks and outdoor playtime are always on the menu! I considered studying veterinary but realized I simply can't stand seeing animals suffer, which tells you everything about how much I care. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel as loved as mine do back home. Since I'm currently not working, pet care fits perfectly and naturally into my entire day. I wake up late morning, which means lazy morning cuddles are always on the table, perfect for cats or calm dogs who love a slow start to the day. From there, my day is completely flexible and centered around the pet's routine, whether that's feeding, litter care, playtime at home, or heading out for a walk to Harold Washington Park or Jackson Park, both just minutes from my place. I'm also available for overnight stays, so pets never have to spend the night alone or anxious in an unfamiliar space. At my home in Hyde Park: My apartment is a calm and loving space, no other pets, so your furry friend gets all the attention. I'm home all day, which means no long lonely hours. For cats, I make sure to provide a comfortable, stress-free environment, respecting their need for space and routine. For dogs, living right in front of Harold Washington Park and minutes from Jackson Park means fresh air and walks are always just steps away. I also offer overnight stays, so pets can settle in and feel truly at home. At your home: I understand that many pets, especially cats, feel most comfortable in their own space. When visiting your home, I follow your pet's established routine as closely as possible, feeding schedules, litter care, favorite toys, nap spots. I don't just stop by quickly, I stay long enough for real playtime and genuine connection. In both cases: I treat every pet like my own. Growing up with cats, dogs, and everything in between taught me to read animal behavior, respect their boundaries, and give them the kind of love and patience they deserve. And since my own two cats are waiting for me back in Colombia, I know exactly what it feels like to trust someone with the animals you love most. 🐾❤️
“Great Care! Manuel was professional and caring. He communicated throughout the day, sending updates and pictures. He went above and beyond caring for Levi. She was extremely happy and tired when I picked he up. I would highly recommend Manuel to take care of your Furbaby!”
“Fred was absolutely wonderful to coordinate with, super responsive! And he sent daily updates and pics of our sweet boy. Dante was the right amount of excited to see us, and I think he definitely enjoyed his time with Fred. Thank you so much!!!!”
“Tonisha is very kind, flexible, responsive. I missed my drop off window and she was very gracious. She shared daily photos and asked about Langston’s behaviors to ensure he was safe i.e.going on walks, etc. If possible, we hope to work with her again.”
“Amazing sitter for our dog! This was our first time leaving her for so many days not with family. Christina was great about sending updates and took wonderful care of Gobi. Will absolutely book with her again!!”
“Anni did an amazing job taking care of our fur babies! She was responsive, asked questions, and kept us updated while we were away on our vacation. It was a first time boarding our pets and Anni did a great job easing any concerns we had. Our pets were at ease with her and felt very at home in her space. Would definitely recommend!”
“Thomas is such a great sitter! He sent us daily updates on how our pup Maui was doing. From the start, he welcoming and communicative. Maui was very happy with him! Can’t recommend Thomas enough!”
