If we are ever in Chicago again we will be using her services!!”

Cheyanne is amazing, she has experience with older dogs and special needs, my dog was so happy with her and even found a “boyfriend” during her long stay.

“Mia was incredible with my cat Stormie! We were able to quickly schedule a meet and greet for her to meet Stormie and I could already tell she genuinely cared. She asked questions about feeding, whether Stormie likes to sleep in the bed, daily routine, and took notes when I explained some food changes due to Stormie's sensitive stomach. It is VERY clear she does truly love and care for animals. We had Mia watch Stormie for the weekend and came back to the apartment being clean, litterboxes were empty and freshly cleaned, etc. Mia sent regular updates as well with photos and videos of Stormie so I knew that everything was going smoothly. She also sent messages regularly about how they were playing with toys, how Stormie was doing, etc. I 100% will book with Mia again as I truly never felt more comfortable with someone watching my baby before now.”

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!.
“Bola came through for me last minute and took great care of Bea!! She sent me picture updates and communicated well throughout the day. Will definitely be booking again with her.”
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: 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: 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!

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.

“Timothy is our puppy’s favorite sitter (and ours too!). It’s clear he really understands and empathizes with dogs of all ages and sizes. We’ve had multiple stays at Timothy’s place, and every time our dog comes home happy, well-cared for and occasionally having made new dog friends! 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!”

“Gabriel was an excellent dog sitter for Walnut. He was attentive, patient, and very professional throughout the entire experience. He communicated clearly, provided updates, and always confirmed details, which gave me great peace of mind. Walnut seemed very happy and comfortable with him, and it was clear he genuinely enjoyed spending time with Gabriel. I truly felt that Walnut was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Gabriel and would love for him to continue sitting for us in the future.”

“Really appreciate Ashley take care of our dog for a long weekend! Ashley is super considerate and communicative - you can expect to receive regular updates on how your pup is doing and you can tell she goes to great lengths to ensure every pet that stays with her has a great experience. I would absolutely choose Ashley again for boarding!”
“Chelsea was phenomenal!! 5 out of 5 stars doesn’t even begin to cover it. So easy to communicate with, we received more pictures then we knew what to do with, and she was consistently taking the dogs on walks, to the beach, and out for treats. Couldn’t be more thankful. If we are ever in Chicago again we will be using her services!!”
“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!”
“Timothy was a wonderful sitter ! He shared updates and photos regularly and gave my dog extra food because I didn’t pack enough. He was also very gracious to let me extend my booking on short notice due to travel delays. Highly recommend Timothy and hope we can book with him again !”
“Katie watched my dog for his first overnight stay at someone else’s house. She was absolutely amazing! She kept me up to date multiple times a day and kept my pup busy. We will definitely be booking with Katie again. Highly recommend!”
“Jenna was so kind and responsive! I could clearly tell in my pup’s behavior that he felt safe and comfortable with her which was a huge win for us as he often anxious! I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“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.”
“Steven was very communicative during pickup and drop off. He shared regular updates and photos of Polo that put us in peace of mind. Polo had a very nice and comfy stay with Steven. And I’d recommend Steven to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter in the area.”
“Manuel is the best. He’s looked after my little corgi Kit twice now and has done an excellent job. I can’t recommend him enough! Your pup will always be in good hands with Manuel. Thanks so much!!”
“Luxi was very easy to work with! She was both kind and flexible despite my own schedule being a little bit variable. Costello came back to me very happy and well cared for. I really appreciated her help and would definitely book her again :)”
“Randall was having stomach issues before being dropped off to Angel. He kept me updated and gave great care. Happiest dog ever after Angel watches him.”
“Pei was absolutely amazing. She took great care of my dog. She was super kind, communicative and responsible. I would highly recommend her. She provided me with plenty of updates so I never had to worry about my dog.”
“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!!”
“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.”
