“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!”

About: What sets me apart is my long-term experience caring for the same cat for about 8 years, including occasional house sitting. Over that time, I’ve built a strong understanding of her routine, personality, and needs, and focused on keeping her comfortable, safe, and stress-free while her owner is away. I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of both pets and homes, and I always aim to maintain a calm, familiar environment so cats feel secure in their own space.
“Kayleigh was great with our cat! She was very communicative and followed all of our requests. It was great to know that our cat was well-taken care of while we were away. Thank you, Kayleigh!”
“Rachel was super helpful and caring. She was attentive to my little cat and treated her hotspot. I got great updates every day and lovely photos. I felt like my pet was in good hands and it made my stay away from home worry-free. I enthusiastically recommend Rachel for your pet caring needs.”
About: I've had a cat myself for 13 years, been a sitter for my neighbor's cat for the past year, and volunteered at Off The Rocks Cat Rescue Shelter for 4 years when I was in college :) Thus, I have extensive experience following detailed instructions to care for cats with the utmost care and responsibility. My cat is also diabetic and I do insulin injections for him, so I am prepared for any special accommodations in caring for your cats!
“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.”
“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.”
“Jasmine was amazing! They followed instructions, asked questions and gave a thorough summary of what happened each day! Greatly appreciate the thoughtfulness and care put into the time spent with my furry friend. Much appreciated!!”
“Coretta took great care of my fur babies over Christmas vacation. As usual, she sent detailed visit summaries and photos for each visit, and she pointed out any unusual behavior or things that my cats had knocked over.”
“Qutress was so considerate, sweet, and caring with our kitty cat and we would absolutely love to book her again!! She did everything we needed to a T and sent us lots of helpful updates and cute photos too! We felt really happy and relieved as anxious pet parents knowing that Qutress was nearby and available to help with drop ins while we were out of town :)”
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 :)
“Claire was fantastic - bailing us out when we accidentally booked the wrong dates, sending us thorough rover cards (with adorable photos), and being thoroughly communicative. Thank you!!”

“Liz and her family are ideal pet sitters. My bulldog Daffodil became comfortable quickly and is not eager to leave their home at the end of the day due to the abundant personal attention she receives. Great indoor and outdoor space. Consistent updates and photos. I think Daffodil has found a 2nd family, a home away from home, if you will.”

About: Hi! I’m Quirtina, a lifelong dog lover and dog mom to Biggie, my sweet 5-year-old Cockapoo. I grew up with two dogs, and Biggie is my second personal dog, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup in someone else’s care. I also regularly dog sit for friends, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m active and love long walks around Hyde Park, so I’m happy to help with exercise, playtime, cuddles, and keeping your dog’s routine consistent. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and administering medications. I’ll pay close attention to your instructions and your dog’s personality, and I’m always glad to send updates and photos for peace of mind. I’m a full time MBA student, so I have plenty of time to care for your pup! I am home most of the time during the day and evening. I live in a secured gated home, with a gated area for quick bathroom breaks outside of regular walks. Your pup will be in safe hands!
About: With over two decades of dedicated experience in pet care, I have nurtured and cherished dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to wise elderly companions. My profound joy in this journey stems from the deep connections formed with these furry friends. Having worked with a diverse array of breeds, I've honed my understanding of their unique needs and temperaments. In addition, my expertise extends to puppy training, where patience and consistency are key. Caring for dogs isn't just a passion; it's a lifelong commitment that brings immense fulfillment. I work a full time remote schedule. I am at home Mondays and Fridays. Im off on the weekends. So I have plenty of time to play and go on walks! Your pets can sleep in the room with me on their beds or wherever makes them most comfortable. I have a baby gate or I can also crate your baby if that is what you prefer.
“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.”
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!.

“Having Tamya provide day care for our Weimaraner MacKenzie was the best decision! We traveled from the DC area to Chicago to visit the new Obama Presidential Library and Center and wanted to ensure she would be in good hands for the several hours we were away. Tamya made planning for MacKenzie very easy and I was impressed with the advanced questionnaire provided so that they could match the needs for her. They got along superbly. Thank you Tamya for caring for our little girl!”
About: I have pet sit all kinds of loving dogs. Since I was 15 My family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with and care for their pets. I work full time virtually, so I am flexible and can care for your beloved pups while at home. I only have availability to do overnight boarding on weekends. I have a spacious place for your dog to have plenty of room to play and be comfortable. In addition, I have a dog park and a spacious park/field a walk away from my home.

About: Kyle and Ben have been caring for dogs in our home for over fifteen years. We have experience administering medications, whether they be topical, ingested or intravenous. Our goal is to make sure you know your dog is safe and well cared for while you're out of town. We are very quick to respond to all phone calls, text messages and emails and will keep you posted with photos and updates on how your dog is doing while they are staying with us. We also provide flexible pick up and drop off hours for your convenience and can provide transportation if necessary. Kyle has several years of experience working in the pet care industry, starting with shelter work, moving onto a dog daycare/boarding facility and managing of two different dog and cat supply stores (one local, one corporate) in the last fifteen years. She is certified in dog and cat first aid and CPR by the American Red Cross and has experience administering topical, oral and intravenous medications. She has extensive experience handling senior and disabled animals, as well as dogs with behavioral issues. We have always loved dogs and owned dogs throughout our respective childhoods, but Kyle has gotten more hands on experience in the last fifteen years by dabbling in different fields of animal care. She worked as a kennel attendant at the local SPCA for a period of time, caring for homeless dogs, cats and rabbits. It was there that she learned proper care techniques and how to administer medications. She took these skills with her when she went to work first as a kennel attendant and then as the office manager of a small dog daycare and boarding facility. She spent the next seven years serving as store manager of two different natural dog and cat supply stores, where she helped pet owners provide their animals with healthy natural foods, treats and other supplies. She also organized many in store events to help highlight and raise funds for many local rescues and shelters. In 2020, Kyle completed school to become a dog groomer and has been grooming dogs in Hyde Park for the last several years. Both Kyle and Ben work mainly from home, or not far from home. Kyle works as a dog groomer and is able to bring your dog to work with her during the day to minimize any time your dog may spend without human supervision. We never allow anyone off leash on walks, and we do not utilize off leash dog parks for safety reasons. All of our pets are fully vaccinated. Feeding times are always supervised to prevent any potential food aggression. Toys and chews are put away when human supervision is unavailable to prevent resource guarding.
About: I’ve cared for my sweet girl for about 10 years now. She’s changed over the years from a newly adopted young shelter dog to a senior dog and I’ve consistently modified how I care for her to meet her needs. I have boarded many family dogs too from tiny multi poms to larger sweet pits. I really feel at home with animals and treat every dog with patience and care like my own girl. I work from home, live across the street from a big park, and can offer plenty of walks, attention, and playtime. Please be sure to share If you’re dog requires supplements, medication, special feeding schedules/protocols, behavioral things I should be mindful of. I work from home Monday thru Friday. Typically up with my dog by 6. She gets a long walk in the am and after work. Plenty of walks in between work for potty breaks. Each day can look different though based on weather and overall energy level of your dog. I can adjust your dogs needs when it comes to feeding schedule, affection, attention, and stimulation. I vary my techniques based on your dog’s personality and what they need when it comes to affection, space and activity level. I am flexible!
“My dog hates being away from me, but Dwight has been really understanding of his needs and my dog is already warming up to him after a few visits! It's great to have someone as kind and as great with dogs in the neighborhood!”
About: I have extensive pet care experience that began in my childhood. Growing up, I was responsible for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and small mammals. This early exposure taught me the essentials of animal care, from feeding and grooming to understanding their behaviors and health needs. Over the years, I have honed my skills in providing attentive and compassionate care, ensuring that each pet feels loved and well-tended. This lifelong passion has equipped me with the knowledge and empathy necessary to handle a wide range of pet care responsibilities confidently. I work from home and I am a home body except when I walk outdoors, run or bike! A walk is so much better with a dog I have plenty of space for dogs to run as I has a long hallway and a downstairs! I have parks 2 blocks down where I live and a dog area.
About: Hi! It's been a pleasure watching so many amazing furry friends over the years here on Rover. I recently got a little buddy myself, so I am focusing on caring for her. If you're a repeat client (I have watched your pet before) feel free to send me a message and I'll see what I can do! Thanks :) currently working week day evenings and some Sundays, but my schedule varies a lot. Feel free to check with me and I’ll let you know what it looks like! My home is completely dog-safe. They won't be able to get into any trouble whether or not I'm around. I think body language is extremely important and I have a knack for figuring out what a dog may be wanting.
About: Hi fellow dog parents! Welcoming my home and yard to doggies.I have fostered and adopted out 11 dogs, and have two of my own, a chocolate lab Lucy and a Rottie Mix Bowie. Have cared for many Rover pups. 6 foot fenced yard with security camera on all times! It will be a lot more of fetch and cuddles. There is a doggy door for them to freely go potty as they like. I am in Mar Lee 80219. Reach out! I can gladly adjust to your pet’s needs. Whether it is solo walks, park time- all open to a discussion based on your dog’s comfortability and activity level. Etc. Customized to fit your dog’s lifestyle. I have extra crates, a guest bedroom, can feed seperately, really can adapt to what suits you and your dog. Obviously we would not be a good fit if your dog is not socialized around other pets. We have hosted many dogs and it usually will take a little time for everyone to relax but I am experienced in expediting this process and seeing what makes the pups most comfortable. Not a good fit if your dog barks constantly (mostly because this aggravates my dog Bowie who already has anxiety) and for puppies: I can not watch your puppies if they are destructive. I have already had a puppy chew through a really nice dog crate furniture piece when they were placed for feeding time and destroy 2 of my dog beds of which I ate the cost- no pun intended. Puppies must be trained or on a path towards learning.

Prices are estimates per walk. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: What sets me apart is my focus on individualized care for each pet. I take time to understand their routine, personality, and comfort needs so they feel safe and relaxed while you're away. I’m reliable, attentive, and make communication a priority by providing regular updates with photos and messages. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible and organized schedule that allows me to prioritize visits, feedings, and check-ins consistently. I’m able to plan my day around morning, afternoon, and evening care as needed, making sure pets receive attention on time and without rush. I’m also good at managing responsibilities, so I can balance pet care with other commitments while still being reliable and responsive. Whether it’s drop-ins, feeding, playtime, or house sitting, I can adapt my routine to meet each pet’s needs and ensure they stay comfortable and well cared for throughout the day. I provide care for pets in their own home to help keep them comfortable in their familiar environment. I offer house sitting, where I stay in the home as needed to provide companionship, maintain routines, and make sure pets are fed, walked, and well cared for. I also offer dog walking and daily walks to ensure pets get regular exercise, bathroom breaks, and attention throughout the day. In addition, I can handle scheduled feedings and basic care routines exactly as instructed by the owner. I do want to note that I do not offer boarding or training services. My focus is on in-home care and walking services, making sure pets stay safe, relaxed, and well looked after while their owners are away or busy.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and breeds, from a beloved Cocker Spaniel to two Giant Schnauzers and later a Pit Bull. Each one helped shape my love and understanding of animals and taught me how unique every pet’s personality can be. Today, I’m the proud owner of a French Bulldog who keeps me on my toes and a pet snake, giving me experience caring for both traditional and exotic pets. I’ve also spent time around cats through friends and family and am comfortable caring for feline companions as well. While attending Ball State University, I volunteered at local animal shelters, helping care for animals and supporting their daily needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or senior, I understand the importance of providing patience, attention, and loving care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine, as I currently care for my own pets and understand the importance of consistency, attention, and reliability. I work as a State Farm agent in Chicago’s West Loop, and because it is a family-owned business that my family manages and operates daily, I have some flexibility within my schedule when needed. During the week, I am available for pet care before work, after work, and during my lunch break. Depending on the day and my workload, I may also have additional flexibility to accommodate specific care needs. On weekends, I typically have more availability and can provide extra time and attention for walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, and companionship. I am careful not to overbook myself because I believe every pet deserves quality care and attention. When I accept a booking, you can trust that I have the time and availability to provide dependable, attentive care and ensure your pet remains safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. At this time, I’m unable to offer boarding services in my home due to my own pets. However, I am happy to provide a variety of other services, including drop-in visits, dog walking, overnight stays, and personalized in-home pet care. My goal is to ensure your pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment while receiving the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. Whether your pet needs playtime, feeding, medication administration, exercise, or simply a reassuring presence while you’re away, I am committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to their needs.
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 . Pet care is an important part of my routine, and I make sure I have dedicated time each day to give every pet the attention and care they deserve. I plan my schedule around my bookings so I can be reliable, on time, and fully present for walks, feedings, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I believe consistency is important for pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine and provide dependable, loving care. I provide a safe, clean, and caring environment for every pet. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any medications if needed. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs and energy level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, keep the home clean, follow all care instructions carefully, and send regular photo and text updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, secure, and loved while their family is away.
“Excellent dog walker. She is dependable, trustworthy, and amazing with my dog. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pet in her care during my vacation. She responds is a great timely manner”
“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!”
“Julia was absolutely wonderful with my pooch! My pup took to her right away. She was very communicative and flexible with accommodating my last minute requests. And with each walk I received pics and my pup couldn’t have looked happier! 😊”
About: I have experience taking care of all kinds of pets (mine and others) since I was a kid! Spent my life around all sizes of dogs, and I’m a lover of all cats! I’m a recent MA graduate, so my schedule is very open! I’m a very active person and enjoy walks, so I’m a great option to take your pup on midday walks! I have lots of experience around cats and dogs, so I will always make sure to help them feel comfortable in their space by building up trust between us!
“Manuela did a great job! My dog Ella really enjoyed walking with her. Manuela is punctual, reliable. My dog doesn't trust people easily but with Manuela, it was easy. Amazing! Thank you so much. ?”
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.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs of varying ages and have always enjoyed it immensely. I no longer have a dog of my own but I would love to make friends with yours. I am working 3 days per week (not a set schedule) and have enough time to spend with some lovely dogs. My schedule changes week to week but I am quite flexible and hopeful we can find a good agreement for dog sitting/walking. My apartment is clean and spacious and perfect for a small/medium dog to stay at and play. I do not own a crate but also would prefer if your dog is properly trained and can tolerate being in open space.
“Nazik is very timely and a good communicator. She was good at responding to my dog’s preferences while also responding what I was asking her to do - not always the same thing :-). Highly recommended.”
“Our dog took an instant liking to Karissa—unusual for him—and is always very excited to see her. She has always arrived right on time, and it has been a pleasure interacting with her. We highly recommend her!”
About: In addition to taking care of my own three dogs, I have spent the past four summers working at a doggy daycare/ kennel. I have professional training and experience in taking care of animals of a variety of sizes and various needs. With over 50 dogs in our care every day, I am experienced in creating an environment that is safe, clean, and fun. I feel prepared to handle anything that is thrown my way !! I am a graduate student here in Chicago, so I have classes four days a week, but I can do walks and drop in visits for most of the afternoon, and dogsitting and walks Saturday-Monday. I am unable to take pets into my own home, but in a clients home I am prepared to work with whatever is available, including spending as much time outside as necessary and bringing treats and a slip lead to help with walking, training, and crating. For pets who prefer to spend their time indoors, I will make sure they still get plenty of attention and mental stimulation.
About: I am a cat dad and dog uncle so have experience caring for both cats and dogs.

When taking care of your pet, I will send regular updates and photos so while your away you wont have to worry about a thing. If you have anymore questions or other requests like water your plants or bringing in mail while I check on your pets feel free to message me for further details. I look forward to meeting your pets! I work full time so I am available weekdays mornings before 9 am and evenings after 5pm. On weekends I am available any time and mostly during holidays. I have experience with animals personally and volunteering at animal shelter so I am comfortable taking care of cats and dogs. On a personal note I am a calm person which I think helps keeping animals calm.
About: I have grown up with many dogs. My childhood dog grew up with me and I learned to love and take care of a dog with her. Since then I have cared for many other dogs. Most dogs I have cared for have medical needs such as medication or certain foods. While I have a soft spot in my heart (and much experience) with senior dogs, everyone loves a puppy too! I have taken care of many high energy puppies who need to play! I am available most time! I work on call so my schedule remains fairly open! I am an early riser and love a morning pet session! With my pets in my homes, I ensure they are provided evweything they need and more. Safety health and well-being are top priorities for all animals in my life. I want to ensure there is nothing toxic for your furry friend to get into, while also providing engaging activities for them!
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!

“Manuel is the best sitter I could have found for my dog. He took such good care of my corgi Kit, and kept me updated the whole time. He looked after his sensitive paws and made sure Kit was entertained. I really appreciate the social time with other dogs that Kit got during his stay. Manuel is very responsive, attentive, kind, and reliable. Thank you so much for looking after my pup for the holidays. Will definitely book with Manuel again the next time I’m out of town.”

“Fantastic job caring for Tipo during the winter storm. Ensured that his booties and coat were on for his walk. Played with him to get some of his energy out. Sent pics and updates daily during our two week stay.”
“I honestly cannot say enough good things about her. From the moment I met her, she was so warm, kind, and welcoming. She kept me updated the entire time with pictures and messages which gave me so much peace of mind while Prince was with her. She went above and beyond in the most thoughtful ways. She even made a little report card for him which was the sweetest touch ever. It’s clear she truly cares and treats the dogs like her own. Prince was so loved and well taken care of. I would trust her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone genuinely kind, attentive, and amazing with dogs.”
