“Simply put, Dwight is everything you’d want in a dog sitter. He works from home, has a yard, and makes sure the dogs have a lot of activity. He is incredibly responsive and sends great photos to keep you updated. Beyond that, he’s just an awesome guy. I have a demanding schedule and he is incredibly flexible and willing to accommodate. Will use over and over again.”
“Bernie’s hosts were wonderful, especially in the unflustered and caring way they dealt with a transportation crisis my wife and I had. They made me feel like they would have happily made extra room in their family for another week as cooly as they did for an extra day. Bernie is an untroubled, self-confident old girl who enjoys human and canine company, and this was a great environment for her with very nice dog-loving people.”
“Ebonee was very attentive and knowledgeable about dog behaviors. She kept us informed daily. She sent lots of pictures. I’m very happy with the service she provided and would book her again.”
“My dog was so calm after I picked him up boarding with Kyla. Energetically, I could tell that he was very well taken care of with her - no stress, no anxiety, just peace. TY KYLA!!!”
“Chelsea is such a wonderful sitter !!! My dog absolutely loves her and her family. It’s great knowing that my dog is in great hands when I’m away and Chelsea always takes great care of her. Highly recommend Chelsea !!”
“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!”
“This is the second time I've worked with Tamara. Both times she provided daily pictures with information on how Frank was doing. He came home well rested and happy. Thanks again Tamara!!🐶”
“Fred was amazing to work with! He kept me updated every day and made sure to keep me in the loop with how my dog was doing. My dog can be a bit stubborn, but Fred handled it like a pro and made sure everything went smoothly. I really appreciated his communication and care.”
“I was so nervous about using a dog sitter for my 2 fur babies. I was especially concerned about my youngest dog who we adopted from an animal shelter because she is fearful of people she doesn’t know. MariaJose quickly put my mind and heart at ease. She boarded Prince and Bella for a week. Not only did she send messages to let me know they were doing well, she also sent pictures and videos. My babies were happy and well taken care of. I definitely recommend her as a sitter.”
“Cassandra took great care of my dog Ace during his 4-day stay. I can tell he had a good time hanging out with her dog, Chewy. Cassandra was a pleasure to work with and I hope to use her services again for future boarding.”
“Katrina is an amazing caregiver. Incredibly thoughtful and caring. Excellent communication. Fun pictures. I felt completely comfortable with Katrina watching my little one 🐶🙏”
“Our Bernie loved staying with Joe. He understands dogs through and through, and maybe even more important, he understands and appreciates the quirks and idiosyncrasies of particular dogs. He kept us well informed and accommodated our schedule. Bernie would go back in a heartbeat, I’m sure, and we would be happy knowing she was in good hands.”
“Dozer loved his long weekend with Sahana, who was very accommodating and communicative when I had to move around my drop-off and pick-up times. 10/10 would recommend—Sahana is the BEST!!!”
“Ashley, on short notice and later with a cold, accepted my new puppy in her home with great energy. As of this writing, she has spent more time with my Snoopy than me, and I’m jealous. She is professional and skilled at managing multiple animals. She was a caring life saver for my impromptu two week trip out of town. Thank you again. 💜”
“Ann is awesome! She kept me updated throughout Briggs entire stay and even made him food when he didn’t want to eat his own. I appreciate all the pics and attention she gave him.”
“I came back to a happy pup. Steven sent pics and gave me assurance that kelce was happy and comfortable when I was away. I hope Steven has availability next time I go out of town.”
“Ashley was great and took great care of our dog. She was communicative and sent a bunch of photos to make sure we were updated on how he was doing. Took him to the dog park, on walks, etc. Made us feel completely at ease while we were on a trip.”
“Jennifer and her family have always been reliable sitters that we can count on for our pup Kona. Both with food, medications, socializing with other dogs, and even attending to more particular concerns about her care they’ve always been very kind and caring. The only sitters I use!”
“Craila is our go to dog watcher. We have a high energy dog and he is definitely tired out and content after his vacations with Craila. She does a great job watching him and keeps us updated on how he’s doing which puts us at ease!”

“Qutress is an amazing sitter. My cat felt comfortable with her very quickly and loved when she would visit. Qutress sent me thorough updates and lovely photos every time she went to check in on her. If I leave town again I’d definitely want to rebook with Qutress (and so would my cat!).”
“Kayleigh was very kind and was amazing with our cat! Our cat has accidents sometimes, but she was able to clean them while we were away. We appreciated her playing with our cat and making sure that she was well taken care of! Thank you!!!”
“Coretta & her daughter were wonderful with our kitties, Charlie & ChaCha! She arrived on time, was sweet to give the boys space to feel comfortable, and spent quality time giving pets as they relaxed. Looking forward to booking her again”
“Haley was very friendly, and kept us well updated each day on how out cat was doing. Gus warmed up to her instantly. We would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter, and look forward to using her again in the future.”
“Lucille is an incredibly kind and attentive cat sitter. She made him feel loved and played with him so much. She even took him for a stroll on his backpack. Would highly recommend. Felt like our baby was in wonderful hands!”
“Evan did a wonderful job watching our cat for a long weekend. He was communicative and responsive, which made us feel comfortable and confident that our cat was in great hands.”
“Jasmine took great care of our kitties (2yo and 15yo). She provided daily updates and great pictures. Our older cat has a variety of health issues and Jasmine was able to give her medications and gave updates about her eating. Jasmine is fantastic!”
About: My cat Clove (he goes by Miantiao, which means noodle, at home much more) knows how to high five and answers to his name. Cats are smart enough to be trained if you know how to do it and treat them right! I’m here to give them the best care they deserve when you are away :)
“I had arranged a last minute trip and my regular Rover sitter was unavailable. I got in touch with Maribel and we were able to arrange everything in a day. I got tons of photos while I was away and came home to happy cats. I’d definitely use Maribel again!”
“An amazing cat sitter! It’s clear how much she truly loves animals, and they love her back. Even our very shy and unsociable kitty fell in love with her at first sight, which was a huge surprise to us. We’re so grateful for her care, kindness, and attention.”
“Grace is the best cat sitter we’ve ever had! She sends timely updates and photos, is super responsive, and our cats seem to be really comfortable around her. She is also really respectful of our apartment and always take the time to take out the trash and recycling and clean up before she heads out. I would trust my cats with anyone else!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my home my entire life, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of who I am and I truly love spending time with them! I have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your dog, so I treat every pup like they’re my own. Whether your dog is staying with me for the day or just needs a walk, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and, of course, lots of love and cuddles! I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I’m always happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. My goal is for both you and your pup to feel comfortable, safe, and happy while they’re in my care! 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available for pet care throughout the week! I’m happy to provide daytime care, walks, drop-ins, and plenty of attention throughout the day. As a teacher, my schedule may change once the school year begins, but I plan to continue offering pet care before and after school, in the evenings, and on weekends. I’m flexible and happy to work with you to find a routine that works best for your pet! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking preferences, and any specific instructions you provide. When caring for dogs in my home, I’ll make sure they have a comfortable, safe environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and opportunities to relax. I’m also happy to accommodate crates, special routines, or other needs to help your dog feel as comfortable and at home as possible.
“I have an unexpected conference to attend in Chicago. I needed someone to watch my baby for me. Pamela was quick in her response, flexible and very caring. She literally save me. Thanks again”
“Dayana is always so quick to respond to bookings, despite last minute requests. She is always keeping me updated throughout using video. Kitty loves going over because there is usually others dog she can play with. So happy we found Dayana!”
“Demetra was great! She took care of buzz so well that we’d like to book her again in the near future. She was super responsive, flexible and took our little furry boy for nice/long walks. I definitely recommend Demetra!!”
“When I first saw Jennifer I knew right away that I could safely leave my dog to her. Cola had a great time with Jen and her family while we had a whole day trip in Chicago city. It’s very convenient that her place is only 15 mins away from the downtown area. Thank you Jen and family -Ryan from Minnesota”
“Ashley did such a great job with our 5 month old puppy! She made sure Connie felt safe and comfortable during one of our first times away from her, and Connie returned home tuckered out from a great day of play.”
“Anna was an amazing dog sitter! She sent us great pictures and updates throughout the day, was very communicative, and Moose seemed to have an amazing time with her! 10/10 would use her again!”
“Jaclyn was super prompt in her responses, kind, and super sweet for my dog! Communication was excellent, and she made sure that Billie not only was taken care of but that she met her social and physical exercise for the day with enrichment time at the farmers market! I would definitely rebook her again and recommend Jaclyn to anyone!”
About: I grew up taking care and even sitting some of my mom's friends dogs. In my teens I would take care and sit a few family members dogs. I then volunteered at a puppy adoption center in Mexico. I am currently only attending school on Friday mornings from 8am to 12pm. I will update my schedule once I go back to tutoring or when my classes change. I will ensure that your pets get the care they need and the exercise they need. I will also pay attention to any requests your pets may need.
“We were in a pinch while visiting Chicago! Our dogs decided to howl while we were out the very first light and the condo sent two warnings….third time- we were out! I contacted Michael in desperation to see if he could help take care of the dogs while we explored the city. He was very quick to respond! And he said yes! Why did i chose him out of all the pet sitters in Chicago? He had a friendly face and i just felt that he would be a total buddy to the dogs. And he was great! He is located in a central location, communicated throughout the day (and sent pics of my dogs totally taking advantage of the opportunity to be comfortable) explored the city with them and seemed to enjoy having them for the two days! He even got a kiss on day two from Rooney! It is so hard to leave your dogs with someone you don’t know- but Michael did a phenomenal job with my pups. I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Chicago as a trustworthy person to care for your furry friends.”
About: Having my own dog, I know first hand that dogs are precious family members who need a lot of love and care and, and each dog had different needs. I have had my own dog for 3 years and previously cared for many of my friends’ and relatives’ dogs. I have training experience having gone through classes with my own dog. I am excited to meet new dogs and make sure they are happy and healthy while in my care! I currently work from home and I can be flexible throughout the day Mon-Thurs , but evenings or early mornings work best for me. I can also be flexible on Fridays and weekends. I have a friendly dog who likes to play but also understands when other dogs need space. I can crate my dog or set up the baby gate to keep them separated if needed.
“This was our first time using Rover, so we were a bit nervous about leaving our two pups for the day (especially a teething puppy). Dwight however made us feel at ease and we appreciated that he sent us several pictures throughout the few hours our pups were with him. He even gave our pups a new toy! Thanks Dwight !”

“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.”

I’m organized, responsive, and great at managing schedules—skills I use every day in my professional work and bring directly into pet care. I pay attention to details, follow instructions carefully, and make sure owners feel fully informed while they’re away.

Whether your pet needs slow, steady walks, a playful activities, or lots of affection, I’m here to help your weekend feel stress-free. If you’re looking for a sitter who is responsible, communicative, and truly loves spending her weekends with animals, I’d love to support you and your pet!
“Roxy is the best. If I could, I would give her 10 stars. Amber has had 3 walks with Roxy now and she loves it. Amber is a 8 month old puppy who is not easy to handle. Roxy takes her time to make my pup comfortable and happy. She gives out a gist at the end of each walk and it really gives me a collective idea on how to train my dog. We are really happy with Roxy and we are planning to be her repeat client.”
“One of the best I’ve experienced on this app so far. Bola was very effective, communicative and a joy to work with! Django loves her so much! I highly recommend her for your pet!”
“Ryann was great with our puppy who has tons of energy and can be a handful at times! She sent plenty of updates and was very respectful and responsive in communications. Definitely will book again!”
About: I have lived with animals for my entire life, including cats, dogs and reptiles. I have years of experience caring for a range of fur (and scale!) babies. I have also cared for and walked dogs of a variety of sizes and temperaments, from big, energetic playful pups to standoffish and anxious ones. I always enjoy the challenge of meeting an animal where they're at and figuring out what I can do to make them the most comfortable. As I don't work a standard 9-5, I have plenty of time in the day to fit in your furry friends. I have availability throughout the week and partial availability on weekends. Your pet's comfort is my top priority. Whenever I meet a new animal, I always approach calmly and patiently, as I know not every animal responds to new people the same way. Over the years, I've managed to get dogs with a wide range of temperaments to warm up to me through a mix of persistent gentleness, patience and space.
“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.”
“Teddy finished his first week with Sonya & Bobby. He let his hair down as usual and was his goofy, snotty self. Hats off to you guys for giving Teddy a chance. He needs the walks & attention. You are so professional & pleasant. You must love dogs because Teddy is hard to reach. But he's happy.”
“Kim did a fantastic job handling and walking my very active yellow Labrador. She was very friendly, communicative, prompt and she followed some of the direction we had left her. Really appreciated her last minute help in caring for our dog! Highly recommend”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for the past 7 years. I’m currently the go to cat and dog sitter in my apartment building! I am trusted to handle a pet’s feedings, walks, and playtime.

I follow pet owner’s care instructions carefully to ensure pets and their parents are happy!
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog and cat for 7 years and before then was the go to sitter for all my friends with pets! I’m also a PhD student in psychology working in animal behaviors. Since young, I understand animals and respect them: how we treat them influences their behaviors. I’ve got the heart and the training to give your babies the best care they deserve when you are away! My schedule is flexible as long as we communicate in advance. Mornings work the best at the moment but let me know what you need I’ll try to make it work :) I have a comfy apartment with one dog and one cat. They’ll keep your baby company if you board with us. I’m skilled in introducing new animals to each other, I try to adjust to each animals temperaments. On other visits I try to get to your babies first as well, and of course your tips are always appreciated as you know them the best!
