“Amazing! My doggy’s were so happy. One of my dogs had a cone and he was extra cared for it was really appreciated! The dogs came home with a goodie bag and everything. Will definitely book again!”
“Angel has been nothing but incredible. I have brought my dog to him 3 times now and every time it is a smooth drop off/pick-up process. He treats my dog incredibly well and will continue to use Angel moving forward.”
“Barbara is AMAZING!! She is everything you could hope for in a person to entrust the care of your pet. She is extremely reliable, and takes her job very seriously, and does it with a very warm disposition. Our dog Lanie is older, and we wanted someone who would understand her needs. Barbara really delivered. She's like a dog whisperer. We received updates and pictures everyday, and Lanie was happy, well rested and given EXCELLENT care while staying with Barbara and Chewy. Her dog Chewy has a great personality too, and was a lovely companion for our dog to hang out with. She covered every aspect of Lanie's care with us beforehand in detail, and I have never been more at ease with leaving Lanie with her. We've had a lot of boarding experiences over the years, and Barbara is hands down, simply the BEST! We have already booked with her for another upcoming stay, and I am so happy to have found someone who is so dedicated and genuine. If I could give her 10 stars instead of 5, I would!”
“Kept me informed the whole trip after taking Anubis on such short notice. He was happy and almost seemed like he didn’t want to leave. He also came back to me with a gift, a homemade bandana with his name on it. 10/10 service, will recommend and use again!”
“So thankful for Kyla & Barbara (her mom) for taking care of Drogo! Drogo’s very happy. They have updates with photos & videos everyday. They are very sweet & accommodating. We even did a video call because our daughter missed Drogo so much! We’ll definitely book them again when we visit the area. ❤️?”
“Iwona was amazing! I had to find a last minute for our dog and she immediately put me at ease. Ziggy came home very happy and tired:). We will definitely be using Iwona again.”
“Ruben was very good with our pup. And, Ruben was very good at keeping us abreast of how she was doing - giving by us daily updates and fun pics. Our pup was very happy while in Ruben’s care. We will definitely use Ruben again.”
“Mocha loves being with Marieclaire and her pups! He gets a ton of exercise, play time, and love from her & her family. I will continue to book her!”
“Ashley and her daughter were wonderful! Very communicative and they took great care of my baby. Very much a relief knowing he was in their hands. I will be using them again!”
“Had such a great first experience on Rover booking with Kyla! My dog is a newer foster fail so i didn’t have too much knowledge of how she would be while we were away but Kyla kept me informed every day. She even went the extra mile when my dog got sick and took care of her better than i could have expected. Will definitely book again!”
“I am very grateful. Akon spent 7 days with Michael and returned very happy and well cared for. He kept me updated every day by sending me photos and videos. Thank you for taking such good care of him.”
“She was absolutely lovely. My baby seemed very happy and comfortable with her, even though it was my first time leaving him. She kept me updated with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely book with her again if I ever need a pet sitter. I won’t look anywhere else. Thank you so much!”
“Christina was amazing!! From the booking, to drop off, to pick up everything was perfect. She communicated quickly and I got daily updates that made me feel reassured the entire time. I would 100% recommend and I will always keep her in mind for future bookings!”
“I hate having to leave my girl behind when i go out of town, but I feel comfortable doing so when I know Nate is taking care of her. He exudes friendliness and warmth and you can tell he really cares. Nate is a reliable caretaker for your fur baby and I recommend him to anyone!”
“Chad was great with the communication and the care he gave to Cill. Chad and his wife were very loving with my pup and very attentive I will in the future use Chad again and anyone else would be lucky to have Chad care for their pup!!!!!!”
“Charise was amazing with our dog Zoe! Zoe came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Charise kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took Zoe on walks, car rides, and let her play in the yard with her sweet dog Navi. You could tell Zoe was getting lots of attention and love the entire time. We also really appreciated that Charise dropped Zoe off at home for us. Highly recommend Charise if you are looking for someone caring, reliable, and attentive to watch your fur baby!”
“My dog Quigley had an amazing weekend with Diana and Scott. They took him to lots of fun places and we’re sure to update me every day! They were very professional and I look forward to using them for my pet care needs in the future!”
“Ania was fantastic and our pup clearly loved spending the weekend with her! She took her to play fetch every day and was flexible with us on our return home. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Jennifer and her partner are amazing! I never worry when Luna is with them. She is so happy and tired from puppy play when she gets back. I love the videos of the pups and makes me feel like I’m right there with her. The drop off van is the cutest like your kid getting dropped off from school 🥰❤️🐶”
“Nina was great! Flexible and communicative and sent pictures throughout Luna’s stay. We could tell Luna was comfortable with her and would happily use her again in the future.”

“Leila is SPECTACULAR! I've always relied on friends and neighbors to catsit and never again. She came in to meet my cats and my shy cat was immediately relaxed with her. She also was incredibly communicative and went past above and beyond. After my 3 day trip with only an hour each day I was worried my really happy and social cats would be sad or naughty. Luckily they had a great time with Leila”
“Michael was great with the cats. They both really liked him. He was very diligent - took lots of pictures and provided good updates. He was also very communicative, professional, and punctual. Can’t recommend him enough!”
“Jean was fantastic, always on time, great communication, I was kept up to date on what my furry baby was doing. Your pet will be well taken care of with Jean :)”
“Yesenia is truly an awesome catsitter. I would recommend her if you want to feel secure that your sitter is taking care of your pets and looking after them. I will be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve lived with dogs my entire life. Everything from labs, adopted mutts, terriers, vizslas, poodles, goldendoodles, big, medium, and small. I have yet to meet a breed that I can't whisper to. While my profile on Rover is new, I have been walking and house-sitting dogs on the side for years, for neighbors in the area and a small network of family friends I've kept up since middle school. Additionally, I am a serious runner and regularly put in 20-30 miles a week. If you have a Vizsla, Greyhound, Weimaraner, or any other high-energy breed that needs a run to blow off some steam, please reach out! I’d love to take them out with me on the trails. Primarily, I serve the West Suburbs, West Loop, and North Side neighborhoods; I currently reside in the Oak Park area, and attend the UIC campus on Harrison and Halsted. Please note: To ensure the absolute best and safest care for your pup, I do require a quick Meet & Greet before accepting any first-time bookings Looking forward to hearing from you. I am currently in summer school at UIC, and will be in class from 8am to noon on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so your dog would be alone for about 4 hours on those days. Before I leave, they will get a good walk, and when I'm back they'll spend the rest of the day with me doing homework, tutoring, or getting outside for a walk or run. I always treat every dog like my own. I make sure they are secure, comfortable, get all the pets and treats they need, and are never alone longer than necessary. You will also receive daily updates along the way, so you'll always know how they're doing.
“Luis is my number one choice for holding things down with my furry crew when I travel. He is a kind and communicative person who spends quality time with my kitties, and makes sure they have all the food and water and fresh litter they could possibly need every day. I’m grateful for him!”
About: I have cared for pets for over 5 years, providing love, exercise, and companionship. I am experienced in feeding, walking, bathing dogs and administering medications. Pet care is integrated into my daily routine with scheduled feeding, and playtime. I ensure they receive attention and care consistently, making their well-being a top priority and it's so easy when I work from home. I provide a loving environment, playtime, and adhere to feeding schedules, and I ensure their safety, comfort, and happiness because after all they are family. Please note my Home is in the 2nd floor so there's a good amount of stairs!
About: I’ve lived in households with cats through my roommates, so I’m very comfortable caring for and being around them on a daily basis. I know that every cat has its own personality, from independent to very social, and I adjust my approach accordingly. I’m responsible with feeding schedules, litter box care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment
About: I promise I won't overfeed your cat the way five-year-old me overfed mine! I grew up with a dog and a cat in our home at all times. While I mostly took on the play duties with the pets, I began my cat-sitting journey in elementary school watching my neighbors' cats when they were away. Over the past decade and a half, I have dropped in for cat visits, cat sat, and had countless playdates. My favorite thing to do with cats is to sun lounge together and give them lots of rubs. I have cared for up to two animals at a time which I feel most comfortable and confident in! I have no pets in my home, creating a safe space for your cat to make themselves comfortable. I'm not afraid to pull up my sleeves and take care of sh*t (literally!) I loooove taking pictures and will always share pics with your little babies, maybe even a little photo shoot :)

“Diver and Sloane has a great time at Ruben’s. He kept them safe and busy while I moved into my new place. I will definitely bring the dogs back to his home!!”
“Diamond is an amazing sitter! She truly cares for the dogs she looks after and keeps you at ease with regular updates. My Leo came back home so tired and happy-which says everything, and he honestly didn’t even want to leave her place! Her dogs are wonderful as well and got along perfectly with mine, which made the whole experience even better. Diamond is reliable, punctual, and clearly passionate about what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.”
“Dayana is always so quick to respond to bookings, despite last minute requests. She is always keeping me updated throughout using video. Kitty loves going over because there is usually others dog she can play with. So happy we found Dayana!”
“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”
“I booked with Esmirna again, this time for doggy daycare, and as always, it was a great experience. Nadia truly enjoys her time there and is always happy and comfortable when she’s with Esmirna. She is professional, kind, and clearly cares about the animals she watches. I would definitely recommend Esmirna to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Yasmine was wonderful with my very energetic dog. Her own dog is well-behaved and serves as a great role model for other dogs. When my dog came home, he was happy, tired, and completely content, a clear sign that he had a fantastic time. She lives close to a large dog park where dogs can run, play, and burn off their energy while having the time of their lives. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with Yasmine and plan to do so regularly. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter and excellent company for their dog.”

“Ashley was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure that my dog was comfortable with his stay at her house while I worked. She was very communicative, made sure to have full understanding of his care, and gave him lots of love! From the moment I dropped him off, I can tell she really cares about the pets she and her daughter care for, when I picked Echo up at the end of the day, he was so sad to leave! I’ll definitely be booking with Ashley again! :)”
About: I have been a pet owner for over 20 years, so caring for animals has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have helped raise, train, exercise, and comfort dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I was also a cat owner for over a decade, which gave me experience with pets who have very different personalities, routines, and comfort levels. My family has been pet sitting for nearly 10 years, and I helped with a lot of that care over the years. Through that, I learned how important it is to be reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. Now that I am on my own, I am excited to start offering pet care myself and to provide pets with the same kind of safe, loving care I would want for my own animals. I am a teacher, but I am currently on summer break, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I have plenty of availability during the day, evenings, and weekends, while still being dependable and consistent with the care I provide. I am able to work around each pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. In my home, pets will have a safe, clean, and comfortable space to relax and feel cared for. I live in a large 3-bedroom apartment with secure doors that create natural barriers throughout the apartment, which makes it easy to separate spaces when needed or help a pet feel more comfortable. There are no other pets in the home, so your pet will receive my full attention without having to adjust to unfamiliar animals. One of the best parts of my home is the fully fenced-in backyard. There is plenty of space for dogs to run around, play, use the bathroom, or just stretch their legs safely. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, water, comfort, and supervision based on each pet’s normal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow the owner’s instructions closely so the pet can stay on their usual schedule. I know how important consistency is, so I pay attention to feeding times, walks, medication instructions, favorite toys, comfort needs, and any house rules. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they are in my home or their own. Please note, I only sit pets from 1 household at a time - that way your pet(s) get all of my attention!
“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.”
“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!”

“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!”
“Maria seemed like a great sitter for Bambi!! We only left Bambi with her for about 10hrs during a long day we had, but in that time all seemed well! Maria sent us pictures of Bambi playing and looking happy which was reassuring. Maria was also really flexible with our drop off time and pick up time which I really appreciated as our day was really in flux and we ended up picking her up later than expected. Bambi seems super tired since we got back. Thank you Maria!!!”
“Samantha was great at communicating and her flexibility on pickup was super helpful! Felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her and he had a great time hanging out and playing with her and her dog as well.”
“Leaving Luna with Christine was such a great experience. Christine was extremely communicative, sending pictures and updates throughout the day. She left us with the most adorable goody bag as well, with a Polaroid to commemorate Luna’s stay. Above and beyond - would not hesitate to use her again.”

“Leila is fabulous! We need a last second walk for our pups. She came to our house to get the pups. Our friend that was there earlier in the day left the leashes in the wrong place and Leila was patient enough to search for them. It delayed her walk quite a bit but she didn’t shorten their walk. She took great care of our pups and gave them treats. Her report was thorough and detailed, which helped alleviate any worry I had for our pups. Thanks Leila!”

About: I am an educator by training. I am looking for extra work during the summer and school year away from the classroom. I dog and cat sat and dog walked throughout college for four years. I cared for a 15-year-old labrapoodle and I cared for a 7-year-old bordie collie for a combined 5 years. I took them on daily walks, fed them according to a strict meal regimen, and made sure they were safe. The 15-year-old dog had health issues so I have experience in responding to health crisis with elderly dogs and know how to respond in case of an emergency. I am willing to commute, but have limited availability with overnight visits as I have a 19 month old and 7 month old at home.I also have experience with cats! I personally have four cats (ages 2,2, 2, and 4) who I love dearly. I’m able to administer medicine, feed, and care for all breeds and ages of cats. Generally, I do have a full-time job so pet care is part time for me. I’m saving to buy a house and go on a trip so I’m really looking for extra income. Work takes up my time during the day, but I’m available in the evenings and weekends for pet sitting. I’m also available during holidays and the summer. As of 12/2/25: I am currently not working so I have open availability. I have cats so animals need to be friendly with cats. We dog sat for a few weeks and my cats were friendly with the dogs. If the animals must stay with me, I prefer cats as my schedule makes dog walking from my home challenging. I can do drop ins!

About: Hello! I’m a recent college graduate and a devoted pet lover working from a home office. I offer reliable, flexible, and high-quality care for your furry family members, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and entertained while you are away. My Pet Care Experience My passion for animal care is rooted in a lifetime of experience with both dogs and cats. I am currently the proud owner of three cats with unique needs: Stomy (my rescued Orange Tabby) taught me patience, Sheba (my Highlander Lynx) keeps me active with high-energy play, and Atticus (my Siamese) taught me the importance of constant social engagement. In addition to my cats, I have extensive experience with dogs. Until recently, I was a dedicated owner to three rescued dogs who passed away peacefully last year. Caring for them, especially in their golden years, gave me deep experience with senior pet care, administering medication, and providing the gentle, compassionate support that older or shy animals need. Whether you have an energetic puppy or a slow-moving senior, I have the hands-on experience to make them feel safe and comfortable. Services & Activities I Provide When I visit your home, my goal is to keep your pet's routine consistent and stress-free. My drop-in visits and house-sitting services include: * Feeding & Hygiene: Adhering strictly to feeding schedules, refreshing water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and picking up waste. * Enrichment & Exercise: For cats, this means interactive play to burn off energy. For dogs, this includes stimulating walks, fetch, or backyard playtime. * Safety & Home Care: As a pet owner, I am hyper-aware of "door dashers." I practice strict safety protocols when entering and exiting to prevent escapes. I also bring in mail, water plants, and ensure your home is left tidy and secure. * Updates: You will receive detailed updates and high-quality photos after every visit, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. My Schedule & Availability Because I work remotely from my home office, my schedule is my biggest asset for your peace of mind. Unlike sitters with rigid 9-to-5 commutes, I have open flexibility throughout the day. * I can easily accommodate mid-day drop-ins, early mornings, or evening visits. * I am available for last-minute requests if your plans change. * I have the time to stay a little longer if your pet seems lonely or needs extra cuddles. I understand that inviting a sitter into your home requires a great deal of trust. I treat every pet I meet with the same affection I give my own crew, and I treat your home with the utmost respect. My schedule: FLEXIBLE I currently work remotely from my home office, providing me with open availability throughout the week. Because I am home-based, I am highly reliable and able to commit to specific time slots that suit your pet's feeding and medication schedule. I have the freedom to step away from my desk to ensure your pets get the quality time and attention they deserve, exactly when they need it. Safety begins the moment I unlock your door. As a cat dad to three active felines, I am hyper-aware of "door darters" and curious paws. I practice a strict "look down before you step" policy and always double-check that doors and windows are securely latched before leaving. inside the home, I keep a close eye on your cat’s health and mood, ensuring they are eating, using the litter box normally, and engaging comfortably. I also make sure to leave your home exactly as I found it—tidy, secure, and peaceful.
