“Iman is so flexible and quick to respond. She has the cutest added touches that make me feel confident that Malcolm is being cared for properly. I won’t spoil it by sharing all the details but know that Iman is super thoughtful. I hope that Iman is Malcolm’s forever sitter! 💕”
“Nemo took to Kathleen right away. She kept him busy with walking and playing with her children. She is a dog lover! He is as in good hands. Sent several pics too. Would definitely ask her to sit again.”
“Mercedes was amazing! She sent updates and pictures of my little Zeus and she let me know he was in good hands at all times. I will definitely be booking her again soon.”
“I have to give Jesus a 5 star! He was very professional, I loved the pictures that was randomly sent. My pet was very comfortable with getting dropped off with him. That made me calm lol I will be using him again very soon. Thanks again Jesus p.s I referred you to some ppl.”
“Shani (and her kiddos☺️) LOVED on my pup while I was away. Shani was an excellent communicator and sent update photos and videos, too. I really appreciated such good communication and how well Lady was taken care of. When you see your dog smiling in the update photos, you know it’s real. I’ll be looking to book Shani for my next trip away.”
“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!”
“My puppy loved hanging out at her home. With my pup being so young; just a baby I thought I would be more worried. I wasn't thanks to Mia. She kept us posted throughout every day via text, pics and video. My furbaby enjoyed herself being there. I really appreciate Mia and her service. Definitely will be booking with her and recommending her for sure!”
“Janet was a great hostess to our Alice for the extended weekend. She communicates well via the app and answers any questions you have within 10 minutes. She also sends pics of how your dog is doing during the stay. Will definitely be using her again.”
“Tonisa was great, she was always responsive and kept us up to date with pics throughout our trip. Deuce seemed to have a great time at her house. Thank you Tonisa!”
“Sharee was a GODSEND!!! An absolute a dream to work with from initial contact to meet & greet, to the drop-off, to pick-up: everything was simple, seamless and SO well in hand. Since our Morty has only been for an overnight stay once without either me/my husband or a family member he’s known a LONG time, my husband and I were concerned about leaving our boy behind while we were on vacation but Sharee put both of us at ease right away. Sharee is warm and friendly with a great vibe. You can tell she knows what she’s doing and is very comfortable and confident working with multiple dogs of varying sizes. Sharee definitely gives off “Alpha” energy, which is especially important because dogs need to know who’s running things in order to feel as well as actually BE safe and secure. She’s got a great back yard with lots of room for pups to run around in and sniff as well as a decent sized area that is still outdoors but parceled off if pups need separation for any reason. This way everyone gets fresh air without having to sacrifice safety. I love this. Morty (who normally is quite bashful when meeting new people) took to Sharee right away: I believe this was because she was so calm, decisive, yet loving and warm with all the other dogs that were there. Once he saw how happy/not stressed out all the other dogs seemed, Morty seemed to fold into the pack pretty seamlessly. Tails were wagging hard and fast all around— it was amazing! One thing I truly appreciated was on the evening when we dropped Morty off, Sharee met us at the car and SHE walked Morty into the house and I followed behind. This set the tone and served as a kind of “changing of the guard” insofar as signaling to Morty that he had to listen to HER from then on out. He got on board without issue (again, safety first: I. LOVE. IT.), and then she introduced him to the other dogs who would be his buddies during his stay (some he’d met during the meet and greet, one he hadn’t… all was well!) While we were away Sharee kept us updated throughout each day on how Morty was adjusting and what good mischief he and the others were getting into with sweet pictures and videos which were always appreciated. We also discovered that Sharee’s dog, King, and Morty are kindred spirits and became fast friends so that was great too! While Morty seemed happy to see us when we came to scoop him up when it was time to go, I’d be lying if I said he didn’t cry for a little bit on the car ride home when he realized King wasn’t coming too! 😂 All told, we could not have asked for a better experience and will MOST DEFINITELY be repeat customers!!! Sharee is AMAZING!!!!!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am so grateful I found Juliana. I was so nervous leaving my baby in the care of anyone for the first time on an extended stay. Juliana took such good care of my Benito! Her communication was great and you can tell she truly is an animal lover. I would definitely recommend her! Thank you for caring for my Benito! 🫶🏽🐈⬛”
“This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.”
“What can I say? This lady is an ANGEL and my son LOVES her. She makes you feel so comfortable and you can text and check on your fur baby at anytime. So happy that my son actual got to interact with other dogs and was given so much love like his mom would give. My son will be going back and I found my ANGEL that protects my son.”
“i can tell just by walking into the house that Jene and her grandma is good people. I felt comfortable to leave my dogs with them and my dogs casino and celestia seem to have got comfortable quick. I would def use again”
“Christine did an absolutely AMAZING job watching my dog. She was so attentive to him, kept consistent communication and went out of her way to make sure my dog was well taken care of and had fun. Thank you Christine!!”

“Coretta is awesome!! She dropped in on my fur babies twice a day while I was away. She sent a detailed summary and photos after each visit. She followed all instructions regarding their feeding and medication, as well as instructions regarding opening/closing the blinds and activating the echo dot each day to give them some background noise. I can be a little overprotective of my kitties, but I was able to enjoy my trip because I felt confident that she was taking care of them!!”
“Chloe was super nice and accommodating when I had to make a change of plans last minute! 10/10 would recommend and she took super cute pictures to keep me updated as well!”
“Anyah spent three days looking after our very shy cats and she took their standoffish nature in stride. She was communicative, organized, friendly, and punctual. Most importantly, she helped us out when we really needed a reliable pet sitter, and was unbelievable accommodating of our cats’ many quirks. We will absolutely be calling her first from now on.”

“Jorinee was excellent with both of my cats. I am so glad I found her. I use to be concerned about who would look after my fur babies or even if I would be able to travel at all. My cats were very comfortable with her. They were relaxed, well fed and their litter box was clean. You can tell it was done on a consistent basis. I have another lengthy vacation for next year and will no doubt be requesting her. She is excellent and I would recommend her to anyone asking.”

“Maria was great. I scheduled her for a couple of drop in visits on a day we were going to be gone all day. She contacted me an hour before her first visit because there was rain in the forecast. She asked about how the dogs were in the rain and checked to see if she should walk them or plan for the backyard. She sent pictures and communication was great. I’ve already scheduled her for an upcoming overnight stay.”

About: I grew up in a multi pet home and learned to walk, train and groom pets from a young age. I cared for the last family dog through her medically tedious senior years. Through college I pet sat and walked for friends and family. For 2 years I worked for a veterinary clinic, although my job was marketing I often was asked to assist with holding and monitoring patients. When I became a pet owner I adopted puppies raising them through potty and crate training. I am proud to say they continue to be healthy and happy. Now we foster and pet sit dogs of all ages and sizes because of the dog friendly environment we’ve created at home. My success in pet lies with gaining the pets trust. I approach them slowly and go at their pace, sitting and waiting on the ground if necessary. I am pet sitting and walking full time so I have plenty of time to dedicate to my clients! Dogs are typically walked and out between 7am and 9pm. I have a fully fenced yard with ample room for running and playing. There are four resident dogs who are friendly and used to guests. We can crate your pup or have them sleep in a bed or in bed with me. Water is available at all times through a 2 gallon water dispenser.

“Amazing!!!! Only five stars??? If it was more than 5 stars, Mia can have each & every last one, she is wonderful. The best decision was choosing Mia out of all the other sitters that were listed. Communication skills are top notch, fast replies, Mia stays in contact all throughout the day, plenty of photos and videos. I was 100% worry free while I was at work. Not once was I worried about my baby. And I know my baby can be a handful since he is a puppy, that did not stop Mia from taking my baby in and treating him like her own! I know for sure my baby had so much fun being with Mia. I can’t thank you enough!!! You’re truly a blessing! Thank you for taking such good care of Flash.”

About: Hello - I’m Rick! I've lived with dogs all my life, and had a cat when I was a teenager. My girlfriend, Cristina, and I are passionate about pets and animal advocacy — we have fostered eight dogs a various ages and breeds through a local animal shelter. We've provided lots of care and training to help them prepare for their forever home and are familiar with administering medications to pets as needed. We live in a house with a fenced backyard and we are two blocks from a state park where we spend lots of time walking and enjoying nature with our pets. We’re excited to meet you and your pet(s) and provide the individualized care, comfort, and peace of mind every pet parent seeks!! For the safety of our pets and those we are caring for dogs we host, we highly prefer for the dogs to be crate trained but we can discuss if they are not. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! My girlfriend works from home during the day and I work night shift so someone is usually always home. Our schedules are flexible and we are usually able to accommodate special requests - don't hesitate to reach out! Our house has a fenced backyard and our guests are free to roam upstairs or we section off our living room area if they prefer to have their own space and couches to lounge on. We can offer crates for small to medium size dogs if your pet is more comfortable sleeping in a crate. We’re happy to accommodate special requests to ensure the comfort of your pet! For new clients, our meet and greets typically last about 15 minutes, and we can have your dog(s) explore the backyard or go on a group walk together. We are privately insured through Pet Care Insurance (PCI), in addition to the Rover Guarantee, so your pups are well covered!
“She was so great with my pups! They’re usually timid around new people, but she was patient and took the time to meet them a few times so they could warm up. Super communicative and reliable—I felt completely at ease leaving them in her care.”
About: After loving and caring for my dog of 12 years, Fuzzy Wuzzy, I decided to take up dog care/dog walking to care for other pets who need it. I worked for a Professional Company, ‘Canine Care,’ for a year, and it was one of the best experiences of my life! I work with barking, lunging, curious, drooly, happy, jumpy dogs all day, and I won’t have a problem with however your dog is! I look forward to meeting and having a great, safe, time with them. I am available pretty much most days for house sitting and walking. I text back very quickly so just ask and I’ll let you know right away! I have a fenced in back yard, no pets in the house and if you’re comfortable pets are allowed on the furniture. For walking, I have 6 foot and 10 foot leashes, and my neighborhood is on the quieter side if you’re dog is sensitive to noise. Let me know if you have any other questions I’m happy to answer.
“She is absolutely wonderful patient and kind very attentive to my fur babies follow all instructions give them a full walk and report i love her I only book with her”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a child and owned a few so nothing really intimidates me about any dog or cat. But personally, I do love cats more. They’re just much more my personality. At the moment, I honestly do not have that much time but if I do have an open day, it’ll be on the weekends and I can move things around pretty flexibly Building trust with any living thing takes time and willingness to meet bumps in the road. I’m committed to making sure your pet and your space are well respected and taken care of.
“Iman was wonderful! I have never left my dogs before but had to in order to move. She was patient, truthful, transparent about her services, and most importantly KIND. I was a mess and she talked me through all the changes and what she thought was best for my animals. She was very professional when she met them and when we walked them. She came at all of her scheduled visits and spent time with them even sending me photos to keep me calm. Most importantly, the last photo she sent me of my little, old lady, I could tell that Leela was sad to see her new friend go. She really did a great job caring for my babies and even left me samples of her dog food. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend!!!”

About: I have cared for pets since I was 7 years old! I currently share my home with two kitties and three dogs. I also have some experience with smaller animals, I've had three Syrian hamsters in the past and have cared of guinea pigs and rabbits in a shelter setting. I've even cared for pigs, goats, and horses before! For my professional credentials, I've worked in animal care for a combined five years. I have cared for hundreds of animals in animal shelter and veterinary clinic settings. From shy and fearful dogs to feral cats, to kittens and puppies, to senior animals. I have cared for animals that need medications and/or special diets. I have experience with leash and barrier reactive dogs, exuberant canines, and leash biters. I have completed dog handling in a shelter and feral and fractious cat handling courses through Maddie's University. And I've assisted in moderating 10-15+ dogs in play groups before! Through these experiences I've become proficient in understanding animal body language, able to identify a variety of possible health issues, and learned how to best keep animals safe and happy. All in all I believe my varied experiences with animals professionally and personally will allow me to provide great care to your pet! This is my primary source of income at this time! So my schedule is very flexible. Just reach out and we can work something together. I understand that safety is number one with pets! I will always respect your pets' boundaries. And I want to work with you, the pet parent, to understand your pets' habits, preferences, and any allergies or health issues.
About: Growing up with and caring for my own dog has taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention are when it comes to pets. I’m very attentive to a dog’s behavior, energy levels, and comfort, and I always make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. I also have experience with basic grooming, keeping routines consistent, and giving pets calm, gentle care based on their individual needs and personality. I'm currently looking fo a Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I’m someone who enjoys staying active, organized, and consistent. While I’m currently looking for a part-time summer job, pet sitting and care is something that also works well with my schedule long-term because it gives me flexibility once I start school again. I’m able to balance responsibilities well, and I enjoy spending time with animals as part of my routine rather than seeing it as just work. job for the summer. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, playtime, walks if needed, and a clean environment. I’m very attentive to a pet’s behavior and comfort level, and I always try to create a calm, safe, and loving atmosphere while respecting the owner’s instructions and home. I also make sure to give updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away.

About: I have taken care of pups and kittens to older cats and dogs for about 5 years. I understand that they need love and care just like us humans do. I mostly work on my computer and take care of my daughter so, I'm pretty flexible. Their every need will surely be met. I have a 3-year-old and she loves animals, although she will be at school a great deal at the time.

About: I grew up in a multi pet home and learned to walk, train and groom pets from a young age. I cared for the last family dog through her medically tedious senior years. Through college I pet sat and walked for friends and family. For 2 years I worked for a veterinary clinic, although my job was marketing I often was asked to assist with holding and monitoring patients. When I became a pet owner I adopted puppies raising them through potty and crate training. I am proud to say they continue to be healthy and happy. Now we foster and pet sit dogs of all ages and sizes because of the dog friendly environment we’ve created at home. My success in pet lies with gaining the pets trust. I approach them slowly and go at their pace, sitting and waiting on the ground if necessary. I am pet sitting and walking full time so I have plenty of time to dedicate to my clients! Dogs are typically walked and out between 7am and 9pm. I have a fully fenced yard with ample room for running and playing. There are four resident dogs who are friendly and used to guests. We can crate your pup or have them sleep in a bed or in bed with me. Water is available at all times through a 2 gallon water dispenser.
About: It’s all about honoring the autonomy of each animal when building a bond plus providing them a safe and nurturing place to live and be while away from home. I am a Full-Time PET SITTER in Chicago running a cat sanctuary where our pet guests become a member of a loving family right away. We provide a healthy and safe space where pets are always free to roam plus enjoy the amenities of individual cat houses, window gazing, and human play.
About: I have a genuine love for animals and they can sense that. I have rescued two stray cats. They came at different times to my front porch waiting for something to eat. I adopted the last one and her name is Bonita. As a child, we always had dogs, so my love for them is inmense. For me they are not animals, they are little humans with a huge soul. I work as a freelancer so I have a lot of free time. My schedule is very flexible, so I can accommodate service as long I have one day in advanced notice I have a fenced yard where you dog can play in the company of my sweet and friendly cat. I ca crate your dog if needed. I can walk your dog close to your home. I live close to hyde park, Woodlawn, south chicago, south shore areas where we can walk to different parks or beaches.

“Nemo took to Kathleen right away. She kept him busy with walking and playing with her children. She is a dog lover! He is as in good hands. Sent several pics too. Would definitely ask her to sit again.”
“Shani (and her kiddos☺️) LOVED on my pup while I was away. Shani was an excellent communicator and sent update photos and videos, too. I really appreciated such good communication and how well Lady was taken care of. When you see your dog smiling in the update photos, you know it’s real. I’ll be looking to book Shani for my next trip away.”
“Tonisa was great, she was always responsive and kept us up to date with pics throughout our trip. Deuce seemed to have a great time at her house. Thank you Tonisa!”
“Sharee was a GODSEND!!! An absolute a dream to work with from initial contact to meet & greet, to the drop-off, to pick-up: everything was simple, seamless and SO well in hand. Since our Morty has only been for an overnight stay once without either me/my husband or a family member he’s known a LONG time, my husband and I were concerned about leaving our boy behind while we were on vacation but Sharee put both of us at ease right away. Sharee is warm and friendly with a great vibe. You can tell she knows what she’s doing and is very comfortable and confident working with multiple dogs of varying sizes. Sharee definitely gives off “Alpha” energy, which is especially important because dogs need to know who’s running things in order to feel as well as actually BE safe and secure. She’s got a great back yard with lots of room for pups to run around in and sniff as well as a decent sized area that is still outdoors but parceled off if pups need separation for any reason. This way everyone gets fresh air without having to sacrifice safety. I love this. Morty (who normally is quite bashful when meeting new people) took to Sharee right away: I believe this was because she was so calm, decisive, yet loving and warm with all the other dogs that were there. Once he saw how happy/not stressed out all the other dogs seemed, Morty seemed to fold into the pack pretty seamlessly. Tails were wagging hard and fast all around— it was amazing! One thing I truly appreciated was on the evening when we dropped Morty off, Sharee met us at the car and SHE walked Morty into the house and I followed behind. This set the tone and served as a kind of “changing of the guard” insofar as signaling to Morty that he had to listen to HER from then on out. He got on board without issue (again, safety first: I. LOVE. IT.), and then she introduced him to the other dogs who would be his buddies during his stay (some he’d met during the meet and greet, one he hadn’t… all was well!) While we were away Sharee kept us updated throughout each day on how Morty was adjusting and what good mischief he and the others were getting into with sweet pictures and videos which were always appreciated. We also discovered that Sharee’s dog, King, and Morty are kindred spirits and became fast friends so that was great too! While Morty seemed happy to see us when we came to scoop him up when it was time to go, I’d be lying if I said he didn’t cry for a little bit on the car ride home when he realized King wasn’t coming too! 😂 All told, we could not have asked for a better experience and will MOST DEFINITELY be repeat customers!!! Sharee is AMAZING!!!!!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am so grateful I found Juliana. I was so nervous leaving my baby in the care of anyone for the first time on an extended stay. Juliana took such good care of my Benito! Her communication was great and you can tell she truly is an animal lover. I would definitely recommend her! Thank you for caring for my Benito! 🫶🏽🐈⬛”
“What can I say? This lady is an ANGEL and my son LOVES her. She makes you feel so comfortable and you can text and check on your fur baby at anytime. So happy that my son actual got to interact with other dogs and was given so much love like his mom would give. My son will be going back and I found my ANGEL that protects my son.”
“i can tell just by walking into the house that Jene and her grandma is good people. I felt comfortable to leave my dogs with them and my dogs casino and celestia seem to have got comfortable quick. I would def use again”
“Amazing, attentive, and so caring. Her dogs are soooo nice too! My dog will be coming very often and I definitely recommend!!!! Very spacious as well my dog had her own room. 🫶🏼”
“Thankful. Very positive and seamless experience. My sitter cancelled last minute and I reached out to E K. And within minutes we set up an appointment to meet my pup. After, she gave me a set of instructions for the morning and everything went smoothly. As a firefighter, family is everything to me and Pongo is my comfort dog. To know he was taken care of through out the day made my stressful shift easier to navigate. I strongly recommend E K. To anyone. Large home. Back yard. And positive vibes. Thank you again.”
“Our Daisy had a great time at her overnight with Bridget. Bridget was great to work with, excellent communication and sent lots of pics/videos. Definitely recommend.”
About: At 13 I had the privilege of being a doggy mom, I wouldn’t replace the moments for a thing! I love dogs and they deserve to feel safe and cared for. ROD dog lover! I am now 20 and my bestie for the restie is my fur baby🥰 I am currently doing online school and have a flexible work schedule. Commonly work nights mostly during the weekends but am able to go in whenever I have 2 dogs! My sisters cat visits here and there. My dogs are both Shih Tzu and Maltese. 1 boy 1 girl. They are very accustomed to our home and are very well trained!
“I met Joy at my sons’s school trunk or treat event and I’m so happy I got her card! Maple was with Joy for 2 weeks. Her family was wonderful during the meet and greet. Joy sent me photos of Maple everyday, and I can see him smiling and loved. She was very helpful, responsive, and professional while setting up Maples stay too. Highly recommended!”
“I am so happy with the service Ginebra provided for Bentley! She loved on him just as much as me and my daughter! I could tell Bentley loved spending time with her too! Ginebra, you have a new Fur Baby to add! Thank you so much for the picture of my baby, I love it 💖💖💖”
“Dominique was AB-SO-LUTE-LY Fabulous!!! She treated my babies like her very own (even calling them by their "cutesy" baby names when she scratched them under their cheeks and behind the ears). She created a safe, loving and clean space for them... allowing them to thrive. Truth be told, I'm kind of jealous that they "took to her" so quickly and didn't miss me more (our first time separated in 11 years). Knowing Dominique was taking such great care of them, made the stressful time I was going through easier to manage. My babies came back, calm,well feldand clean!!! 👍 I will definitely seek out Ms. Dominique again for any and all future pet needs.”
“If you want complete peace of mind, book Twanna W. immediately! She recently cared for my senior golden retriever pit mix, H'Raka, for four days and treated him like royalty. She made sure he got plenty of exercise, kept me updated with photos and videos, and followed through with my request and bought him his own bed to make sure he was comfortable. H'Raka loved romping with her two boys and came home incredibly happy. Twanna’s generosity and attentiveness are unmatched. I am so grateful for her and will definitely use her services again!”
“We left our dog for 2 nights and 3 days, and everything was fantastic! Arianna sent great photo updates and treated our dog like family. Picked up a happy, relaxed pup. Highly recommend!! Thank you, Arianna, for doing a fantastic job🔥🔥🔥💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼”
