“Tali is the best! I have a challenging cat and it takes someone special to get along with her. Tali met my cat and had her eating treats out of her hands in minutes. She is extremely perceptive and knows when to give space. She also knows when to engage and make connections. My cat had never made a connection this fast in the 7 years I’ve had her. Trust Tali! She’s the best.”
“Jessica was an amazing cat sitter for my recent week long vacation! My cat is generally shy around new guests but immediately wanted pets from Jessica. She has great communication skills and replied to my messages very quickly, which I value. Her visits were always within the agreed upon timeframe, which helped me fully relax and enjoy my vacation. She provided detailed updates with lots of photos. I trust her and plan to book with her next time I'm away.”
“Serena was fantastic. I was out of the county for a few weeks, and she took great care of my cat. She is detailed and kept me in the loop every day I was gone. She is willing to go the extra step for your pets! My cat looks forward to her visits in the future.”

“Lavinia was very sweet and communicative with us about her visits!! She sent a lot of pictures of our kitty cat, which is great for me because I get anxious being away from him. He is a very skittish and shy baby, so the fact that he was willing to come out and interact with her for a bit says a lot about who she is as a person. I would absolutely ask her to cat sit again!”
“Daniel took excellent care of our two cats over the holidays. He was communicative, sent great photo updates, and most importantly our cats clearly loved having him around. It was obvious from the start that Daniel truly understands and loves cats, and he did a great job adapting to their different personalities.”

I love getting daily updates and pictures, which gives me peace of mind knowing they are in great hands. Highly recommended for anyone looking for someone to treat their pets with the same love and care they would themselves!”
“We have used Emily many times over the last couple years. Whenever we will be out of town she is the very first person we check with to see if she is available. Not only does she just do the basic tasks but it’s clear she genuinely cares about your pets like they are her own. Can’t recommend enough.”

“This was my first time using a cat-sitter and I was extremely nervous about leaving my cats at home! Kelly has been FANTASTIC. She's extremely quick to respond, very thorough, and is calm and patient with my scaredy-cat. Seeing pictures of my girls every day while I was away was so nice. THANK YOU Kelly!!!”
“Thanks Ryan! We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ryan! From the very beginning, they were professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about animals. They took the time to understand our cat’s routine, quirks, and preferences, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Each visit came with thoughtful updates, photos, and little notes that made us feel connected and reassured. It was clear our cat was not only well cared for, but genuinely enjoyed their company. We came home to a happy, relaxed pet and everything exactly as we left it. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and kind. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets!”
“Elyse took great care of our cats! She was very responsive, and we got lots of updates and cute photos.

“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!”
About: Hi! I’m Jill and I live in a comfortable sunny apartment in North Center with my 5 year old husky, Luna. Luna is very good with other dogs and has lots of energy— she loves playtime with other dog friends! Your pup will be surrounded with love and in good company over here :) My goal is to just help your dog feel as comfortable, loved, and taken care of as possible while you are away. To be their perfect home away from home, where they know they have a friend waiting for them anytime they’d like to stay. I work from home so I will be around at all times aside from running an errand here or there! We go for at least three walks per day and otherwise are relaxing/playing in the house together. I will take care of your dog as if they are my own, offering love and play and comfort while you are away. I have taken care of all types of dogs, from puppies to senior dogs and everything in between and will always cater to their needs.
“Even though the other dogs were bigger, Chachi was not scared and in fact he loved them and got along with them great. They were all gentle dogs and knew Chachi was small. He even shared beds with the big dudes and went out for play time. Chachi wants to return soon and meet up with the same pack again because Ian made him feel at home and comfortable. Chachi had all the pillows, blankets and belly rubs he needed.”
“Brad was great! He sent pics and feedback. Made me feel very comfortable that my dog was getting all the TLC possible. I will be using him for my vacation stay.”
“Carly took great care of my dog Avery; she seemed very happy and comfortable there! Carly was also very easy to communicate with, which made things easy. I would definitely leave Avery with her next time I need a sitter!”
“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!”
About: I have always had a furry friend in my life and could not imagine not having one. I have extensive experience walking, bathing, and taking care of pets. I love to go on walks and play catch with the pets. I work from home full time and therefore have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I work in my apartment building that has a dog park across the street for easy play time! Excited to give them all the attention they will let me. I have a strong love for fur animals and your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure, and loving environment where pets are treated like family. My apartment is a smoke free place and we allow pets on our furniture.
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.
“Laura is absolutely amazing! She’s so friendly and welcoming, and my partner and I instantly felt comfortable leaving our dog with her. She invited us into her home, and our pup was immediately curious and happy to be there. Laura took the time to explain how she cares for dogs and kept us updated throughout the day, which we really appreciated. When we picked him up, he was tired and happy—a sure sign he had an awesome time! We can’t recommend Laura enough.”
“Michaela was awesome! Things I appreciated: Michaela is friendly and warm, she took great care of dog, and she gave us regular updates. Will definitely go back to Michaela!”
“Peter was AMAZING with my puppy, Milo! I can't say enough good things about Peter and the care he provided for my pup! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this was more than just a daycare — it was a second home. Milo immediately felt comfortable, and I loved how welcoming and knowledgeable Peter was during drop-off. Throughout the day, I received regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. It’s obvious that Peter genuinely loves dogs and treats each one like their own. Milo came home happy, relaxed, and tired in the best way after a full day of playing with Peter’s dog, Khalil! The space was clean, safe, and dog-friendly, and it’s clear that Peter pays close attention to each dog's personality and needs. We’ve officially found our go-to daycare! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Milo! I’m so happy to have found a daycare provider I can trust. 🐶💛”
“John & Rosa did a great job taking care of our pup for an afternoon! John was very communicative upfront and during daycare, ensuring there were plenty of pictures to review afterwards. Will definitely work with them again!”

“I found Rebecca last minute on Rover and truly couldn’t have had a better experience. She was so kind and communicative even before we met, and was willing to care for Luna with little notice. From the moment I dropped her off, she kept me updated throughout the day with the cutest pictures, which meant so much. I was pretty anxious leaving Luna with someone new, but Rebecca completely put my mind at ease. I knew Luna was in excellent hands the entire time. Highly recommend 🤍”

“Seems to have had a great walk with Addy! Covered some great distance which is always appreciated for my active girl. Did come back closer to 45 min instead of the hour I paid for but possibly due to the heat is my guess. Overall great job.”

“Roxanne took very good care of my baby boy! Will def be using her for future walks. You can tell that she genuinely cares for the wellbeing of animals as if they were her own. Tbh I’ve had some kinda crappy dog walkers recently, so it’s great to finally find someone I trust!”

I have a calm demeanor and patience while pets take time to feel safe around me. I tune into their behaviors to help me understand what they need. I’m attentive and love to cuddle and play. I wfh from 8am-4pm. My arrival and leave time from sits can be flexible, but need to be arranged around my job. I can do either overnight sits or check on pets daily. I care for pets in client's home only, following all the directions from pet owners on how to care for their animals. All my belongings are kept in safe places where the pets can't swallow anything or hurt themselves. I make sure there is emergency contact information available including a pet hospital, if I were to need it.

About: I’ve taken care of my sister’s dogs (golden doodle and schnoodle) throughout both of their lives. I enjoy walking dogs and getting them exercise so they can get some much needed sun!

If you prefer that your dog is crated, I will happily do that and leave them with whatever they need. Or, if you prefer to leave your dog in a certain area, I will let them stay there with the required food and water!
“Kevin was great both with Hank and me, his Type A mother. First time entrusting him to a dog walker, Kevin kept me in the loop with text updates on his ETA and shared pictures and fun recaps of their time together. Would definitely recommend Kevin!”
About: I’ve been around dogs all of my life and frequently dog sit for my friends and parents. There’s no bad day when pups are around! I work from home Fridays and the weekends are currently dedicated to spending as much time as possible outside! My husband is at home to help as well! I live in a walk up with only a couple steps. Im comfortable with your dog being free in the house unless you prefer crating. We live in a very friendly family and dog neighborhood.
“Jon is a very considerate person. We’ve been using him for several weeks now and he always makes sure our dog is well taken care of. We can tell he really cares by taking our dog on long walks or making sure our dog’s paws are cleaned off enough after the walk.”
