“Stephanie was great was my dog Jackson - he stayed with her for two weeks and I received daily updates and tons of pictures. He loved her dog Baylen and came home exhausted- he clearly had a fun time. Stephanie was even flexible in taking him a night earlier than expected due to a snow storm. Overall very pleased and look forward to using her in the future. Thanks Steph and Baylen!”
“Iwona was absolutely wonderful! She sent us pictures and updates each night. We knew our pup was in good hands and played outside the whole week. We will absolutely be returning!”
“We could not be more grateful for Sam. We had never used him before and our dog got sick on the first night of our 7 day trip (Sam was not at all at fault for the sickness). The sickness ended with a trip to the emergency vet. Sam was so kind and helpful during this! He kept us up to date and never made us feel bad. I would recommend Sam 100/100 times!!!”
“Shelby was awesome with our dog Odi! She was really responsive and sent us a lot of pictures and updates the entire time we were gone. We will definitely be booking with Shelby again! I highly recommend her!”
“Katie was great! Chloe seemed like she had a fun time with her. Katie sent lots of pictures! We also were really grateful for how accommodating Katie was - our flight was delayed and she was so nice about us having to switch around pickup plans.”
“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.”
“Blaire took great care of our dog while we were away! She asked all the right questions before we left and gave us frequent updates on how they were doing. I’d recommend her for anyone’s dog.”

“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.”
“This was my first time leaving Ona with someone who wasn't family and I got very lucky with Cody. He's clearly a dog lover and took Ona in as family, and his dog Hopper seemed to really enjoy having a buddy around to play with. He was very responsive to messages, took plenty of pictures of Ona, and was flexible as well. Ona has some separation anxiety and had some issues for the first half of the trip and Cody was excellent in his communication about her issues and coordinating with me to get them taken care of. I felt totally comfortable with her in his care and would recommend him to anyone.”
“Brett was an incredible and trustworthy sitter for our dog! We received many pictures of our dog throughout the weekend, and it was evident he had a lot of activity (including picking out a toy from the pet store 😊). One of the best pet sitting experiences we’ve had! We will definitely re-book Brett for any future needs!”

“Morgan is amazing, thoughtful and caring. Thank you for taking care of my fur baby. She went above and beyond to take care of my cat and when our hallway outside was smokey, she called the front desk to make sure all is well and my cat would be safe! Thank you!”
“Second time using Cecilia to watch Whiskey. She provides very detailed updates and takes such great care going above and beyond to make sure our cat is well taken care of.”

“Connor did a great job with my cat, Siegfried. She had no issues giving him medicine (others have sometimes struggled) and contacted me with a concern about his eye. He was fine; though I really appreciate the attention and concern. He seemed at ease with Connor and was in good spirits when I returned. Connor also helped me out by filling my water reservoir for my outdoor plants, which I had forgotten to do before I left. Will definitely use Connor again.”

“Kacy was phenomenal! Her pictures and report cards were very informative and adorable. She also handled medicating our cat daily and cleaning up multiple episodes of throw up. She even asked which products to use to clean the carpet. She was very responsive and communicative through the app. Kacy was instrumental in keeping our kitties safe and happy! 10/10 would recommend!”
“Morgan took great care of my two cats while I was away for Thanksgiving break. She sent lots of photos of my cats and was on top of cleaning their litter boxes and maintaining their water and food supply. I would definitely recommend her services!”
“Emliy was Awesome! She did such a great job taking care of our 3 cats! We got updates with pictures everyday while we were gone.

“Darcy took such great care of my cats. She sent pictures/videos every day and it was clear she spent a good amount of time with them. She even sent pictures of their feeding bowls to show how much they were eating. On her last day caring for them she vacuumed, took out the garbage and tidied up. I will definitely use her again!”
“So caring and responsive! I just moved to Chicago and Andrea took great care of my kitty who was adjusting to a new home. She was knowledgeable about giving medicine and kept my place tidy. Thank you!!”

“Fantastic experience with Steven! Very prompt in communication and I could tell he genuinely loves dogs. Mochi was happy during his time with them. Highly recommend”
“This was my first time using Dog Vacay and Robby and Nicole were amazing hosts - answering all my questions and welcoming my puppy Gipper into their home. I was so excited to see photos and get updates of Gipper in action all day. They were very accommodating and I felt very at ease leaving my little guy in their care. He had a ton of play time with their dogs as well and came home a happy, tired, cuddly pup. Gipper can't wait to go back and play some more!”
“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’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. I have had my sweet girl Luna for 6 years now. From medications to vet and groom visits to training to just zoomies and play. She’s my babe. I work a night schedule currently Sunday night to Thursday night , and I am available during the day to pick up or meet you to grab your pet or pet sit and return them to you or meet you or pet sit later in the day. I keep my home dog proof, we all know how they can be, as well as cats. I also know signs for when a dog isn’t feeling well and cats. I’m very observant. They truly are our children.
“Isabelle was awesome with Coco! She was super communicative with sending updates and really paid attention to Coco's cues, which is really important to me. Coco warmed up to her immediately and I felt very comfortable leaving her in Isabella's hands!”
“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!!”
“Couldn’t have asked for better! Samantha was kind, communicative, knowledgeable and fantastic with Zeke. Provided plenty of surety before hand that she was well prepared and well equipped to care for Zeke. Updated with pictures throughout the day. The type of person you want to take care of your pet!”
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.
“Blaire was so great! She was communicative before and during the stay, and our dog came home happy and content! We will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“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.”
“Karlee is amazing! I don’t have enough good things to say. She made sure Winston was comfortable and was so patient with his shyness. She’s a great communicator and I love that she sends updates with pictures throughout the day. It was scary for us to leave Winston with someone he didn’t know but Karlee made it so easy for us and we’re so grateful <3”
“Grace was amazing! She welcomed me into her apartment to check it out since I had expressed being nervous as this was my first time using Rover for doggie day care. She took my dog for multiple walks and documented with pictures as well as multiple updates throughout the day. When I picked up my dog she was happy and tired out and seemed like she had a great day. Would definitely rebook with Grace when I’m back in town and recommend her for sure!”
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.
“Nicholas and family are amazing! Our first connect with them was when Harry was a little pup during a family emergency. They helped him with separation anxiety and Harry is happy when he sees them. They continue to help support our family during an ongoing health journey - can’t thank them enough! Highly recommend this family for any services - great home away from home for your pups! 🐾”
“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”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all personalities and sizes, including my two Goldens, Husky, and Pitbull mix. I'm ready to walk, feed, play with, and give your pets plenty of love and attention! I’ll be starting a graduate program at the end of August, with classes Monday–Wednesday. I’m completely free Thursday–Sunday, so I have plenty of flexibility for multiple walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout those days. I’m happy to work around each pet’s routine and provide consistent, reliable care. I care for pets by keeping them safe, comfortable, and supervised at all times. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and other care needs. I also make sure the home is secure and free of potential hazards, while giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would give my own.
