“Mike and Joanna were absolutely amazing! I needed last-minute care for my dog, and they responded almost instantly. From the start, they were friendly, professional, and incredibly accommodating. They took such great care of my dog and made the whole experience completely stress-free for me. It was clear that my dog was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. What really surprised me was that they even sent my dog home with free gifts — such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture, especially for such a short stay! I can’t recommend Mike and Joanna enough. If I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would. Thank you both for going above and beyond!”

“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!”
“Fortino was amazing! My dog is pretty high energy and I could tell he was having a great time. Fortino sent regular updates and he took my dog on lots of fun excursions with his own dog.

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 :)
About: I was a cat owner for over 10 years, raising her from a kitten well into her senior years. I have experienced the sporadic nature of curious cats, and have ample toys, perches, and other necessities any cat may need.
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.
“Elizabeth was wonderful with Thomas. She was on time, and followed his feeding instructions. She was responsive and made Thomas feel less lonely. I’ll definitely hire her again—highly recommend.”

“Hope was so thorough, communicative, and lovely to work with. I've become a more anxious pet parent as our cats have gotten older and she immediately made me feel at ease. She cared for them as if they were her own, sent great pictures, and I will absolutely be reaching back out to her when we need pet care again! Thank you so much, Hope!”
“Justice took great care of my cat Opal. She was quick to learn her medication injection routine and made both Opal and I feel comfortable while I was away. She was very responsive and made sure to send me updates with every drop-in visit!”
“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’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I had the joy of having a Pomeranian as my first furry companion, and over the years, I’ve fostered many dogs, each with their own unique personality and charm. Most recently, I cared for my senior dog, who was the sweetest and most loving soul. Losing him was heartbreaking, but it deepened my understanding of the unconditional love and care dogs especially for seniors bring to our lives. As life got busier, I realized how challenging it can be for dog moms and dads to balance work and giving their pups the attention they deserve. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to help! With my dog care services, I aim to provide love, care, and attention to your fur babies while you’re away. Every dog deserves to feel safe, happy, and cherished, and I’m here to make that happen for your four-legged family members. I am currently working part time while studying! Being with your pets not only helps you but me too! I miss my dog very much so I am very happy to help anyone fur babies when they need. I have the time to walk and play with your dog or cat (: At your home I’ll make sure they are comfortable with much pats on the belly! Very well taken care of! Making sure always on leash and picking up after them.

“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.”
“Ruben was nothing short of awesome! I was running late to drop my dog and extraordinarily late to pick her up and he was accommodating. Ruben has great communication and shared pics throughout the day. I highly recommend and will definitely use his services again.”
“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!”

I eat, live, breathe pet care. It's what I do on a daily basis with over fifty one cats and three dogs in our facility, that is truly what I am passionate about. And do it all day. Besides having a fenced in yard, every part of our space has their safety and security in mind, Above all.

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.
“Jennifer took great care of Kashi. I got plenty of pictures and videos for his one day daycare stay. I picked him up and he was in great spirits. I would definitely use her again!”
“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’ve grown up with pets my entire life and the responsibility of taking care of them truly is second nature. I love to walk and jog with my girls and would love to get some exercise in with your dog too! I am also good with dogs that pull or need a bit more redirection. I work from home primarily, so I am able to designate a lot of time to pet care and spend quality time with my own dogs and any special guests! I walk often and will make sure your pet meets their step goal too! I have a fenced in yard and my two dogs love to make new friends. We do at least two walks per day and one enrichment game per day.
“Archie had the best time with Maria and her pup! They went to the park and he came home feeling so happy relaxed! 11/10 would recommend any pet parent to book!! Thank you!! 😊”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs (small mostly) since I was 11. I grew up with two chihuahuas and am currently fully in love with my mom’s current weenie dog. I’ve fostered 3 small/medium dogs in the past 2 years and am trusted with my friends and families dogs for walking and sitting. I work from home Mondays and Fridays and am usually home most weekends (unless I’m traveling). I’m able to be home with the dog and take on walks for most of the day. I live less than a block from Harrison Park, so I will be able to take the dog for a walk and some exercise daily. I also happy to lounge on the couch and bed with the dog if they need plenty of company and rest. Dogs are little fur babies to me and they will be the royalty in the home. Be prepared for many pictures.
“Sara and Jose take such great care of our 1 year old. I feel very at ease knowing our pup is in great hands and we’re so lucky to have them as a recurring pet sitter when I’m at work. They do a great job at making sure her daily schedule is met, maintain training, and give them lots of love and affection. My puppy loves spending time with their family and highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Super responsive and flexible as I booked a day care for my cat during my moving day. They even dropped my cat off after which was so helpful after a long day! Their dogs and kids were super playful with Josie who was a little nervous at first. Definitely would book again!”
“Christian was great! Used him as a first time sitter and he had great calm and clear energy that let me know my dog would be in good hands. I’m really happy I chose to book with him.”
“Elliott is amazing! My 7 month old puppy was a nervous/anxious mess around new situations and I’ve been so worried to bring him to just any daycare. I found Elliott and my dog Jax warmed up quickly, and ended up playing with all the other dogs in daycare! He came home and was walking around the block SO confident after just one day at daycare. The pic/video updates are also wonderful. So grateful I found Elliott, will definitely be using him from now on.”

“Mike was on time and very good about walking our two dogs for a week! When we were busy on the phone, he was very respectful and still able to walk them without interrupting our calls. Thank you Mike!”
About: From a young age, I've had a special bond with dogs. My parents took in neighborhood samoyeds and newfoundlands that had been abandoned by their owners. I grew up with them, trained them, did my best to make sure their home was loving. Since my neighbors knew I was good with large dogs, I frequently dog sat for them. I quickly became an expert in leash technique, engaging play, making sure they were fed right, and just plain being there for them. I don't have any dogs right now (my apartment is way too small) but I know I'll meet that special fluffy guy when I get a bigger place. I'm available nearly all the time, as I'm not currently working and am only doing occasional volunteering in the Bitter Lake/Greenwood/Shoreline area. I have the availability of a tireless assistant! I believe in respecting a dog's boundries while also being very mindful of their needs. From years of experience I've learned to find the proper balance and give the dog the best experience possible.
About: I regularly babysit my family’s and neighbors dog and additionally taking them on walks and to dog parks around the city! I am absolute dog person I treat all dogs as if they were mine.

About: I go beyond basic pet sitting by focusing on each pet’s individual needs and personality. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats—from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets who need a gentler, more attentive approach. I’m comfortable with routines like medication administration, crate training, litter box maintenance, and reinforcing basic commands or good habits. What sets me apart is my attention to detail—I make sure pets feel safe, stimulated, and loved, while also keeping owners updated with regular photos and check-ins. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I plan my schedule around it. I’m consistent with visits and make sure pets are cared for on time, whether that’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company. I check in throughout the day and keep communication open, so you’ll always know how your cat is doing. I enjoy making pet care part of my routine—it never feels like a chore, just something I genuinely love doing. Your cat’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. In your home, I stick closely to your cat’s usual routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I make sure doors, windows, and anything potentially unsafe are handled carefully, and I keep their space clean, calm, and comfortable. I’m very respectful of your home and follow all instructions closely—from feeding and litter care to playtime and any special needs. I also keep a close eye on behavior and health, so I can quickly spot if anything seems off. You can trust that your cat (and your home) will be in safe, responsible, and caring hands.

About: Hi there! I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and personalities my entire life—literally since before I could walk. One of my earliest memories is riding around on my childhood dog’s back like a pony! Over the years, I’ve cared for so many incredible pups—from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra love. I was the go-to pet sitter for my grandmother’s dogs, including two who required special care and medical attention. Most recently, I devoted the last year to giving our beloved rescue, Eli (a hound-lab mix), the best life possible as he bravely battled cancer. Now, we’re raising a puppy again! Hazel, our 7-month-old corgi-golden retriever mix, joined us at just 3 months old with no training. Today, she’s fully potty trained and knows all the basics—and then some! Whether I’m volunteering at my local animal shelter (which I loved doing throughout high school and college) or caring for my own pets, dogs have always held a huge piece of my heart. I’m patient, experienced, and completely dedicated to making every pup feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away! I am currently finishing my first year of teaching as a 4th grade general education teacher! I am looking to help those in need of someone to care for their furry loved ones while away for the summer. I am extremely flexible and I am a runner who runs before work every morning so I am up early. Once school is finished I will have a lot of free time during the end of June, all of July, and mostly all of August! Depending on which service is required I am very flexible! While I do live in an apartment building, we have all sorts of amenities! A dog run connected to the building, a nice little grassy area (my personal favorite for my pup), and multiple dog parks that are a 5 minute walk away! Again, I am very flexible so I definitely most likely will provide anything that you are in need of!

My friends think I’m a dog whisperer. I’m currently doing a career change & study for my Illinois real estate license. My availability is completely open and flexible at this time. Let me know what your needs are! I care for dogs in a way that respects their routine, their boundaries, and keep things clean and in order. Whether it be from dog sitting overnight, I have a keen ear to puppies and when they’re up to something or know when they need to go out to potty in the middle of the night. Any other type of care will be simply respecting your home rules & how you like your pet to be handled or trained along the way.
About: Originally from a small town in Texas I was raised on ranch surrounded by animals and I’ve loved every minute of it. Once I moved away I still wanted to keep animals in my life. I have experience fostering animals and caring for senior pets. I have open availability, so whatever time you need works for me. Whether you need someone to walk your dog while you are at work or someone to watch them overnight, I can help. I have grown up around dogs and spending time with them is one of the most enjoyable things I think a person can do. I am experienced with crate training, training basic commands, and teaching your dog to walk on a leash. If your dog doesn’t need any of that, that is fine too. Whether you just need a quick walk or want me to spend a couple hours with your dog, I will make sure it is the best part of their day!
“Stavroula has been great! She communicates well and sends me several pictures of my dog Winston doing his business. I actually have two dogs. Winston was just adopted on Christmas Eve and he's a little over a year old. He isn't fully housebroken due to being found as a stray. When she gets here to let him out, he and my other dog Benson get pretty excited. She deals with their mayhem without complaint. I definitely recommend her!”
About: I have acquired a unique set of skills. I may not know who you are, or where you’re from. But I will find you. And I will take the best care of your animals!! Also please tell me you know what movie the first part is from. Free schrute bucks if so! I am currently a fourth year medical student. Just moved to the Chicago area to finish med school. My hours are random but short and flexible. Best part about being in my final year is that I can make my own schedule and majority of my days are spent at home studying. I have a fenced in back yard, living with another medical student so one of us is usually always home. There is another small dog in the house and she is older, but loves other animals and is very friendly. I can do leash walks or allow your animal out in your yard for some play time. Whatever is easiest for you and preferred.
“Jacob was my first dog walker for Bear. He arrived later than booked but communicated his arrival. Jacob was able to answer my questions and we spoke about Bear and his behavior. Jacob returned with a happy pup after an hour. I like the report card that shows the walk they went on. I would recommend.”

“Angel was very responsive and accommodated early check in. He made sure Dobby is comfortable with his pets before going in and sent regular photos and updates with what Dobby had been up to. Definitely recommend to anyone in the Chicago area.”
“Ashley is AMAZING with our dog Rue! She sends such sweet photos and updates, she’s flexible and responsive - we always know Rue is in great hands when we’re out of town.”
“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.”
“So grateful for the wonderful care Lesslie provided for my two doggies. Everyday I received adorable pics and videos that put my mind at ease. Highly recommend Lesslie’s services to any pet parent!”
“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!”
“Fortino was amazing! My dog is pretty high energy and I could tell he was having a great time. Fortino sent regular updates and he took my dog on lots of fun excursions with his own dog. He was very communicative and I could tell he paid close attention to details of my dog’s comfort, personality, etc. He even gave my dog a sweater that previously belonged to his dog but was too small, which was very sweet. Will definitely board with him 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.”
“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!”
“Nate was so great with our pup, Nala. Nala gets bad separation anxiety and Nate (and Stella) was a great match for her. Nate gave us many updates, which not only eased our minds, but Nala looked so happy and peaceful! Will book again and know she is well taken care of.”
“Tim is a great guy who is amazing with animals. He provided pictures and updates every day. My dog did not even want to leave. He obviously provided great care and was very flexible with my schedule for pick up and drop off. I really appreciate his dedication and genuine love of animals.”
“John did a great job with our 125lb Bernese Mtn Dog, Georgia. From the pictures we received every day, it was clear Georgia was getting a lot of love and attention. She had a fenced in back yard and a very friendly playmate. We definitely plan to use John again!”
“Christine was wonderful with updates and pictures of Fitz throughout the day! I can’t speak highly of her care! She even gave a little gift of his picture the first night! Also I think Fitz has a new girlfriend with Brisa!!”
“Sam took great care of my boy Kimi when I was out of town. I appreciated the daily updates, pictures and videos! She made sure Kimi stayed warm when snow storm hit and made Kimi felt like being at home. Would definitely choose Sam again if I need a sitter in the future!”
“Kyla was so great with Poppy! She really helped me out with a last minute holiday weekend booking when my previous sitter fell through, and sent plenty of daily updates and pictures of her snuggled up relaxing and playing and having fun while I was gone. Thanks again!”
“Jenna was great to work with. Prompt replies, was on time at drop off and pick up. And from the pics, I could tell my frenchie liked staying with her. Would definitely work with her again!”
“Ania watched our dog Elliot for a weekend. During this time she was communicative and provided us with lots of pictures! He got comfortable fast with her and came back to us a happy dog!”
“Dayana was so flexible with me my flight got canceled last minute and I was late to pick them up due to traffic and she was willing to wait for me. She provided me with constant videos and feedback and my puppies looked like they had a blast and were well taken care of. Would book with her again!”
“Our dog had an amazing stay with Nina- I appreciated the care they took with him and the picture/video updates. Would happily have our dog stay with them anytime! He was so well cared for”
