“Frankie had an amazing stay with Julia. She was very attentive and took great care of him. Also, she was great at communicating with us and making us feel comfortable, knowing that he was doing great. Highly recommended!”
“Maria is the absolute best! We have worked with Maria a few times and she is our favorite resource for boarding. She is outstanding with our 2 dogs. One of my boys is a senior and requires gentle care. Maria goes above and beyond to meet the needs of my boy. She is so communicative and cordial. Truly the gold standard!”
“Christian was very professional. He was responsive and inn time when he picked up Bonnie. He sent pictures of her while she was in his cage and she genuinely seemed comfortable and content. He followed instructions for her feeding. And he brought her back on time, safe and happy. Would his him again and recommend him.”
“Tracy is the best! Rick & Tracy are dog lovers with a comfortable home and large fenced in yard. I can tell Jax feels comfortable being there and is well taken care of. Of course we will be coming back. Thank you Tracy!”
“We moved to Chicago a year ago from Milwaukee and used our sitter there before. It is too time consuming to travel to Milwaukee to take Lily to her sitter before our trips, so we decided to find one in Chicago. We booked Irene through Rover based on her excellent reviews. We decided to let them get to know Lily before we leave her with them for our long travel at the end of this month. It worked very well. I met Ronnie when we left and picked up Lily. He is a very nice person and I can tell he loves dogs very much. Irene and Ronnie treated Lily like their own. They sent her pictures frequently. We can tell that Lily was happy there with Irene and Ronnie. Hopefully her longer stay will work as well even better. We highly recommend them.”
“Another great stay with John, Ryan and Bruno! This was Bambi’s first extended stay (two weeks) and I’m so happy we found John and Ryan to be her sitters. She loves it there and Bruno is the perfect host and playmate. Communication was great and we received plenty of photo updates. Highly highly recommend- they will treat your dog as if they were their own and you will have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.”
“I felt so comfortable leaving Maggie with Whitney over the weekend. Maggie seemed to love her straight for the get go, and Whitney kept us up to date with regular pictures and videos. Will definitely use her again in the future. Thanks again!!”
“Michelle is super friendly, caring, and communicative, and her dog is very sweet! My dog absolutely loved staying at her home! I'll definitely use her services again!”
“Susan was delightful and such a caring friend to Galway. She communicated well and had a natural love for my pup. Her dog Isla is the cutest and makes a wonderful playmate. A great time was had by all!”
“Adam is incredible! Fast and clear communication. Our puppy loved him instantly! He is near the lake to take dogs on long walks. Adam is an ideal dog sitter in just about every way! I will be asking him to watch my dog next time i'm out of town!”

“Chachi had a good time at Ian's house. He had three beds and couches to lounge on with blankets and pillows which he enjoyed a lot. He also had outdoor yard to roam and sunbathe. He enjoyed his time.”
“Megan was a great host for our pups! Very willing to accommodate our schedule and responsive before and during our trip. Our two dogs had a great time during day care at her place and come home tuckered out both days they stated there. Thanks for taking such good care of them!”
“Adam and Keit are so great! They’ve watched my dog a few times now and are responsive and kind. I know they take great care when watching him Tupper and because of that I definitely hope to have their help again in the future!”
“For his first stay My pup Jax was a little shy going inside, his second stay he walked right in tail wagging. Laura and Charles are great, they have the perfect home and setup for your pup to feel comfortable We will continue to book with them. They are truly dog lovers”
“Catherine and Johnny are like your dogs' favorite aunt and uncle. They were so welcoming to my pups and my pups were comfortable enough with them the first hour they arrived they had already settled in their favorite spot on their couch. They also addressed my concerns to work with my leash reactive dogs which is tough to find someone willing to work with that behavior especially if one dog is 80 pounds. Catherine and Johnny treated my dogs as if they were their own and it shows in my dogs' excitement when they see them. Definitely recommend these Rover sitters!!”
“Eleonora and family were wonderful! They took such good care of our pup, gave a lot of updates throughout the day, and gave her lots of attention. Quick to respond and accommodating, we couldn't have asked for a better experience!”
“Sarah and Walter took great care of my little guy. He felt really comfortable there and made himself at home. He had a good time and became Walter's shadow and his new BFF. Thanks so much guys!”
About: I do take up to 4 clients at a time, so I can only accept dogs that get along well with other dogs. I am doing Rover full time. Which means more time to spend on walks, playing and affection time ! I won't be distracted with any electronic device, when outdoors with your dog. I don't smoke, drink or party. I grew up caring for a couple amazing dogs. I've taken care of my brother's, neighbors and friends dogs. I love being outdoors and being active, so if your dog has alot of energy, he'll be sleeping like a baby by the end of the day. I currently don't have any pets of my own. I'm looking forward to making memorable moments with your dog(s). I can take your dog on an hour long early morning walk/run near a park close to where I live, so we can also play ball, Frisbee or with a toy! Then I could take your dog to 1-3 additional walks throughout the day. I try to make the dog feel at home,by being calm and trying to understand his/her body language, quirks and personality. Giving them affection and playing with them, but also some alone time.
“Brad was timely with communications, sent me the cadence of updates I asked for while I was gone, and everything appeared to be a-okay when I returned from my trip. I would definitely recommend booking Brad for taking care of your fur baby!”
About: Hi fur-parents, Pick me and lll promise you I’ll love your fur-babies like my own. I have several years experience with walking, and sitting dogs . I’ve also been educating myself on dog training and been practicing those skills on my own dog. I know trusting a stranger with your fur-baby is hard, so I’ll make sure to keep you posted with cute pictures and a quick text on how they’re doing throughout the day. I’m smart and trustworthy, and leaving your pets to my care will be an easy going experience. I guarantee you that. That way you can focus on work or enjoy your vacation without the unneeded stress of wondering how your pet is doing. There's no time to waste so let’s meet up! I’m looking forward to hearing from you. I am currently taking online classes to get my degree, so my schedule is very flexible so I can dogsit during the weekdays and weekends. I have a dog that loves to play and will keep your dog entertained and tired by the end of the day. I also have a crate that I can use if any behavior gets out of hand
“John & Ryan took wonderful care of my dog Newton! They sent a cute photo update and were very flexible with pick up and drop off times. Would highly recommend!”
“Johnny and Rosa took such great care of Buddy! He had a great, full day with new friends and plenty of time for naps and pics! Would definitely have him stay again”
“Susan was wonderful! She was very caring with our little elder dog. Communication was great and we were happy to receive a photo of our dog having a comfortable stay with Susan. We appreciate you, Susan!”
“There's a level of care, compassion, patience and empathy that no amount of money charged in a rate can manufacture in a provider. As an owner, you sense it instinctively. It's in the way they interact with your dog. It's the excitement in their voice when the next visit is talked about and more. Felipe encompasses all of these, unconditionally. and I feel fortunate to have found him. beyond being one of the best providers you could choose, he takes some of the best photos! Authentic ones. The kind that give you peace of mind and show you -you made the right call trusting this person with your dog. I chose Felipe. You should too.”
“Rebecca provided wonderful care for my pup Kinga. I felt very comfortable leaving Kinga with Rebecca and appreciated the updates she sent. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: Please note - I can only host dogs that get along well with other dogs, as I usually watch more than one dog at a time. Hi! I'm Maggie. 👋🏼 I've been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember. From my very first poodle when I was five years old to my sweet pup today, dogs have been one of the greatest sources of love, joy, and companionship in my life. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends and family have always trusted me with their pets while they're away, and I've learned that every dog is unique. Some are full of energy and eager to play, while others need a little extra patience, reassurance, or time to feel comfortable in a new environment. Helping each dog feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pups with a variety of medical and emotional needs. I'm comfortable administering both oral and injectable medications, following detailed care instructions, and adapting to each dog's individual routine. Whether it's supporting a nervous dog through separation anxiety, encouraging a picky eater, or simply offering extra cuddles to a pup who's missing home, I believe that thoughtful, individualized care can make all the difference. To me, caring for dogs isn't just about feeding, walking, or playtime. It's about creating a space where they feel loved, secure, and truly at home until their favorite humans return. I can't wait to bond with your best friend! Caring for pups is the main thing I do currently, other than driving Uber when I'm not booked, and some house chores or studying from home. I will be at home with your pups at all times and I will have plenty of free time to play and interact with them. We have a large porch and fully fenced back-yard with a large tree where all pups love to run around and play. If the weather is nice, we are likely to spend most of the day outside, either at home or Palmer's park across the street. We allow our pups and guest pups on the couches and beds. I make sure the pups get a lot of attention and interactions, and also some needed down-time.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 12 years. I treat my puppy like a family member and will do the same for yours! Since they are family they are allowed on the couch and will get plenty of belly rubs & cuddles. I work from home. My pup and I go for a walk through the park or around the neighborhood first thing at 7:30 am and then usually breakfast is serve. We go back four our next walk at 11:30/12 then we go out again after work at 5pm. This one’s a longer walk and we follow that with play time and dinner. :) That is followed by cuddles. I will send you super cute updated images so you can see what fun your fur baby is up to :) . I also have a fenced small backyard incase your pup wants to do some light leash free jogging with me.

“Kaitlyn was GREAT! She watched our 2 cats over Christmas break so we decided to book her for a dog walk and our normally shy dog warmed up to her and really enjoyed her walk and play time.”
“Nicole was fantastic. I could tell Haley’s best part of day was her time with Nicole! She was a total natural and welcomed her in our home and with Haley. Come again please Nicole.”
“Erica is AWESOME!! She made us feel super comfortable and I can tell by the photos that our dog was loving all the attention! Erica is very communicative and reliable. If you’re choosing someone - Erica is your gal! 😊”
“Roxanne is great! I often do things last minute and Roxanne is always accommodating and super responsive. She takes lots of pictures and my dog looks so happy in all of them!”
“Rebecca has filled in for my usual walker (who has disappeared off the face of the earth) multiple times and is great! My dog got into the trash before she came over for the walk...and sent me hilarious pictures and even tidied up the mess a bit (definitely didn't need to but much appreciated. I will definitely go with her again!”
“Maddie’s amazing! Always quick to respond, reliable, and keeps me updated with photos and messages. You can tell she genuinely cares for Milo and treats him like her own. I highly recommend her!”
“Ana was great! She was very accommodating to our last minute walk request on a holiday weekend and came the next day to meet our dog, Carmy, in advance of the walk. Our dog is reactive to other dogs while on leash and she was very understanding and let us know exactly how the walk went with lots of great pictures.”
“Valerie is wonderful! Her communication is top tier and my dog loves her already. She is patient with him and always makes sure to give him a full 30 mins of enrichment even on rainy days when he is hesitant to stay outside. She is the best!”
“Jessica’s great! Always attentive to Milo’s needs, gives constant updates and helpful feedback. We’ve come to depend on her reliability, efficiency and genuine care for Milo”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of lots of different animals throughout my life. I have owned dogs, cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, and other small animals. I worked in a veterinary hospital for 1.5 years and have provided medical care to pets in lots of different capacities. I am excited to get to care for your pet! I am a graduate student at DePaul taking a full load of classes, meaning I have availability starting in the early afternoon throughout the evening! I provide in-home care for pets, whether it be a quick check in during the day or a longer term stay! I think that animals are most comfortable in their own home, so I prefer to come to you!
About: I have cared for my own shared pets in past relationships and now serve as the regular dog sitter for friends who travel often for work. Dogs under 60 pounds are preferred as I am a smaller frame. I work from home full time and love to have a furry friend to take on walks and get me outside throughout the day. I can accommodate any schedule needs with this flexibility. I have a large patio for dogs who enjoy sun tanning and fresh air, and large windows for bird watching on the colder days. I live on a safe, tree lined street with lots of paths for walking and sniffing. I am happy to let dogs sleep anywhere, but would prefer to have a crate if I run out for errands.
About: I’ve had dogs in the family since I was little. With both parents working it was up to my sister and I to take care of them. I’ve had experience with reactive dogs as I’ve had two pitbulls that were unfortunately poorly socialized, and I know how important it is to keep a tight leash. That doesn’t mean I love them any less :) Currently my daily life has no set schedule, this means I can help out whenever! Pet care is a priority so I will be putting that ahead of any plans that arise. I always follow their routine to keep them as comfortable as possible. I know boredom can be a big problem especially with hyper breeds, so I always give the time to keep them entertained and engaged. Bathroom breaks and walks are consistent to keep them on a schedule.
“Rich was great with our pups. Came every day at the scheduled time, was super gentle and patient with our timid dog. Took photos. Was very responsive to any inquiry I made on Rover. Made sure they were secure in their crates when he left. We felt very comfortable leaving our pups in his care.”
About: Animals have always been a special part of my life. My home has never been without something furry or scaled or shelled. In addition to caring for my own dogs and cats over the years, I have enjoyed walking dogs and doing dog sitting and cat sitting for many friends and neighbors. I am loving, reliable and safety focused. I am also conscientious to clean up any pet mess and respect your home. I am home based and looking to fill my days and my heart with animals. My kids are in school so my schedule revolves around dropping them off and picking them up in the morning in the afternoon. As a life long pet owner myself, I know how much you care about your fur baby. I love mine too. I take a very safe, loving and risk adverse approach to pet care. I will take the time to learn from you about your pet to understand the specifics of how you want care to be handled and will follow those instructions. I am able to do walks, water checks, feedings, play time and accident clean-up if needed. I am comfortable working with pets on skills that need to be practiced and am comfortable administering oral medications if needed. I also have experience with rabbits and turtles. I look forward to loving your pet.

I felt relaxed the whole trip because I could see how much she loved dogs, and knew so much about their behaviors and interactions. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Adam is incredible! Fast and clear communication. Our puppy loved him instantly! He is near the lake to take dogs on long walks. Adam is an ideal dog sitter in just about every way! I will be asking him to watch my dog next time i'm out of town!”
“Nic took such good care of Bailey! Nic was so responsive, sent so many pictures, and was so sweet! Bailey got so much love and went on so many walks! I would recommend Nic to anyone and everyone!”
