“We had such a wonderful experience, this was our second time leaving Korra with Kim, and once again she was amazing. She took excellent care of Korra, and her communication was great, which gave us complete peace of mind. Kim truly went above and beyond; she even got Korra a Christmas gift, which meant so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Deb and Doug did a wonderful job taking care of our pup (and us)! We have never left her with a non-family member before, and they put everyone at ease with an initial meet and greet. During our trip, they were communicative and sent daily updates and photos letting us know how everything was going.”
“Janette and Charles are the greatest. We were anxious about leaving our dog with a new sitter while on vacation for a week, but based on the daily photos and videos they shared with us, our dog Stevie had a terrific time. Stevie enjoyed playing in their huge fenced in yard with other dogs and snoozing on the couch after running around all day. Janette and Charles took great care of our fur baby and we will be sure to book with them again soon.”
“Brian did a fantastic job watching my dog, including giving medication 2x per day, and dealing with her anxiety being away from home. He was also flexible and accomodating when my travel plans unexpectedly fell through. Would definitely use Brian again in the future!”
“Simply THE Best. Zara is cared for so well, I’m surprised she comes home sometimes!!! 😍 Greatly appreciate the attention to detail, lots of Play time, Expert Dog training reccos and friendly prompt communication. We’ll be back next month! 💗”
“Our two girls, Elizabeth and Scout, were cared for wonderfully by Suzanne. On our first meet and great prior to boarding, our girls took to Suzanne immediately, this was GREAT to see since we booked a sixteen night stay! Elizabeth needed to have oral medication twice daily and Suzanne was happy to make sure Elizabeth's needs were met. We were pleased with how well our girls got along with Suzanne's new puppy, Harley ?, and her fenced-in yard provided a safe outdoor space for our girls to hang out. Suzanne was great at sending photos and videos, to keep us updated on how our girls were doing throughout our trip. When we picked our dogs up, we found two very happy girls, that had a great time in Suzanne's care. We highly recommend Suzanne for your dog sitting or boarding needs, as she really seems to have a way with dogs.????”
“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!”
“Lauren, and her family, were so kind, communicative and caring for our old boy! We couldn’t have been happier with Aspen’s care and are so grateful he was in such great hands!”
“Sarah was SO GREAT with our two little dogs!!! She sent pictures and videos every day while we were away, and little notes about how they were doing- the good and the bad, when one of our dogs decided that her plant was a perfect place to sit. :) THANK YOU SARAH and we look forward to trusting you with our little ones again when we need you!!!”
“So pleased we found Elva. Her and her daughter were so sweet with my pup and I was sent daily messages, pictures and videos which put my mind at ease. I appreciated Elva taking time to learn Mochas mannerisms to take care of her better. Would totally recommend.”
“Laura and Vldimir were great host and I can tell Ruby enjoyed her stay while she was there. They also sent out photos so I can see how Ruby was doing while she was staying with them. I would totally book them again for Ruby.”
“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”
“Jacob was great. He is very accommodating, his communication is excellent and you can tell he truly loves dogs. Jacob sent us nice daily updates and photos and made sure our dogs felt at home. His dog is very friendly and made it fun for our dogs to stay with them. We will definitely use Jacob again!”
“Tanya did a wonderful job taking care of our senior pup! Betty was recovering from surgery so needed extra love and attention, including getting medicine and wearing a cone. Even so, Tanya made sure she was comfy and spent plenty of time outside. We will definitely be scheduling with Tanya again!”
“Arlene is the best! I didn't worry about my little Ozzy at all. I think he had a vacation at her house! LOL I'll be asking her to watch my pup in the future for sure. Thank you, Arlene!”
“I'm always nervous going out of town because our pup has some quirks. Maria was warm and welcoming and our dogs immediately hit it off. 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!”
“Amanda was amazing! Very helpful in coordinating pick up and drop off, great communication and lots of updates about our pups stay. Most importantly, it’s so clear how much she enjoyed and cared for our dog. We will definitely be asking Amanda to dog-sit for our next trip!”
“We have so much peace of mind leaving our dogs with Eric — they are always so well taken care of! Eric is also very accommodating and communicative, sending lots of photos throughout their stay.”
“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!”

“Karli was great! ! Karli gave me a very detailed update and very detailed pictures of each cat. I appreciate how many pictures Karli took, it made me feel comfortable knowing my cats are out and safe! Karli was extremely responsive and flexible, and Karli helped us out last minute.

I highly recommend booking Katelyn”
“Super sweet. Definitely my new designated cat sitter. My kitties love her!!! Attentive and communicative. You can tell she loves all the pets she watches.”
About: I have two silly cats of my own who are well loved and taken cared of (and have been since coming home to me 5 years ago). I have also taken care of friends’ and family members’ cats as well during the past five years by feeding, cleaning up after, and playing with kitties. 🐱🐾❤️
“Keri was very easy to work with and quick with responses. Our interaction with her during a meet and greet leading up to a house sitting has also led us to recommend Rover to more people. She has done drop in visits for our cats and we are very pleased with her care.”
About: As a proud pet owner myself, I know that our animals aren't just pets—they are cherished members of the family. I take immense pride and honor in providing the highest level of care, backed by decades of hands-on experience. My background includes over 15 years of experience working with German Shepherd/Sheep Herd dogs, understanding their unique loyalty, energy, and intelligence. Additionally, I have 28 years of dedicated experience caring for felines—both male and female indoor cats—giving me a deep understanding of their diverse personalities, needs, and behaviors. When your pets are with me, they will receive the same fierce love, respect, and attentive care that I give to my very own. My daily life revolves around my own vibrant pet family: one high-energy German Shepherd and three indoor cats. Managing this household has taught me the art of a perfect routine—balancing the physical and mental stimulation needed for intelligent herd breeds with the quiet, structured care that felines thrive on. From morning walks and puzzle toys for large breeds to meticulous litter box maintenance and separate feeding schedules for multiple cats, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my everyday routine. I know exactly what it takes to keep a multi-pet home safe, organized, and filled with love, and I am excited to bring that same dedicated, expert care to your beloved animals! As a dedicated pet provider, safety isn't just a checkbox for me—it is the foundation of how I manage my home and routine. I believe that a predictable, structured environment combined with purposeful engagement is key to keeping animals secure, happy, and stress-free. Secure & Supervised Environments: To ensure total safety, my cats remain strictly indoors at all times, protected from outside hazards. When out in the beauty of nature, dogs are strictly kept on a leash to guarantee full control and security. Confidence-Building Playtime: I know that cats thrive on mental stimulation just as much as dogs do. Structured playtime with felines is a priority in my home because it burns excess energy, prevents stress, and—most importantly—builds their confidence and security in their environment. Structured Rest & Crate Comfort: I respect an animal's need for boundaries and decompression. If a dog needs downtime to relax or reset, I utilize crate training as a safe, positive haven for them to unwind. Proactive Health & Bloat Prevention: Having deep experience with large breeds, I am hyper-aware of digestive health. All meals are served on a strict, timely schedule. Furthermore, I enforce mandatory, quiet rest periods immediately after eating to prevent any digestive discomfort or dangerous conditions like bloat. When you trust me with your pets, you are getting an environment rooted in vigilance, confidence-building routine, and a deep respect for animal wellness.

“Karina is very communicative and took good care of our cat, who can be skeptical of strangers. But she accepted Karina really quickly. From the video and picture shared with us, you can tell Karina knows how to approach animals and makes our cat comfortable with her. We appreciate Karina keeping our cat company while we are away.”
“It is so easy to leave town knowing Colleen is taking care of my baby girl! Zora is generally a shy cat, but really opens up to Colleen, who makes sure she gets her oral meds, even though she hates it! My go to sitter, so grateful to have her!”

“Elva is wonderful! She updated me on every visit with pictures and spent time with Lola and Scout .Lola definitely got extra belly rubs from Elva. I will definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive pet sitter!”

Both my little pups have special needs and she put me at ease with her communication and multiple photo updates.

Thank you, Sarah!”
“Janessa was absolutely amazing! Her communication to understand my dog prior made me feel so comfortable, and the attentiveness/updates while Berkeley was at her home made me feel so reassured and trusting.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life! From neighbors to friends/family! It’s my favorite and brings me so much happiness! That’s why I currently own two small dogs. Im currently a stay at home mom and would love to host some different pups! My two schnauzers love making friends. It would be awesome for everyone! I walk my dogs multiple times a day and take them to my local dog park! I’m home so I’m able to focus all my attention on your little one.
About: I’ve cared for 7 dogs and 2 cats throughout their full life span, from puppyhood and kittenhood to senior years, including pets with special senior care needs. I’m confident handling large dogs and focus on structured walks, mental stimulation, and enriching playtime. As a psychotherapist, patience, intuition, and compassionate care come naturally to me. My schedule is very flexible I'm currently part time and work from home. I can be available on notice from 9am-10pm. I am able to do daily and weekly care/walking/play. I have a fenced yard. Two cats who are used to visitors and other animals. I can also crate animal if requested, use baby fence and adapt to living requirements specific to client needs.
“Arlene was such a blessing. She took our 10 month old puppy for a day. She is a ball of energy and Arlene was kind and patient with her. She was good at communicating and drop off/pick up was easy.”
“1st impressions is everything. It was Friday and we needed a puppy sitter on Sunday for Kira. Our first time using Karina and she took our Kira with open arms and a smile. Taking care of Kira included not just feeding and potty breaks, but also socializing with her dogs and a couple of videos of play time. THATS LOVE! Highly recommend her for puppy/dog parents who want a pleasant experience for that special member in the family. When we took Kira home, she was so exhausted from the fun she had with the other dogs, she was asleep for the rest of the night.”
“Elva is a great person and helped me care for my dog who has IVDD and has some special needs. She spoke with me on the phone and text several times to discuss how to care for my dog. She is a genuinely caring person and I am thankful for her help!”
About: I have cared for and owned dogs since I was 10 years old. As of this past year I also cared for my senior dog giving daily medication (oral and topical). I am a mostly stay at home mom. I work 2 hours a day during the school year otherwise I am home and available to care for your pet! We currently do not have any pets in our home. We have a large fenced in yard and I can also take your pet on multiple walks during the day.
“Sasha is great! I have an unpredictable work schedule that she was totally willing to accommodate. She has a great personality and is a good pack leader for the dogs. Her house is an inviting environment with a nice backyard for the pups to run around in.”
“David was great with our pup Chase. He's usually very shy and slow to warm up to people. However he really took to David and Pinto super quickly. David shared pictures and videos of them playing and sleeping throughout the day. I would definitely recommend him for any dogsitting needs.”
“River loved her doggy day care stay with Brian. The meet and greet before was helpful and greatly appreciated as well. Would highly recommend Brian to take great care of your fur baby!”
“Hands down one of the best sitters EVER! My cuddle bug had been going to her previous sitter for about 5 months and was still trying to warm up to them. However, after a week with Jonelle, Gina was wiggling her butt ready to go. One day she just walked into Jonelle's house without turning back to say bye or to whine. She's truly amazing and makes sure your dogs are treated as part of her family. Her family is just as great about letting your dog have space and build up comfort to bond with them. If you want someone who has great communication, is compassionate, and loves on your dogs (to the point you might consider your dog a traitor) then Jonelle is absolutely the person for you. All around a great person and sitter.”
About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. Growing up surrounded by pets taught me how important patience, kindness, and attention are to their well-being. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always strive to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I enjoy spending time with animals, taking walks, playing, and making sure they feel happy and cared for while their owners are away. I look forward to meeting you and giving your pet the same love and attention I would give my own. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and take seriously. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I moved to another country because of the war in my homeland, and spending time with animals has become especially meaningful to me, as I deeply miss the connection I had with them before. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine, make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection, and I always prioritize their safety and well-being. 😀
“Ruth was a wonderful sitter! My dog was happy and relaxed, and she was at the door waiting for us when we arrived- early in the morning!! I am definitely going to call on Ruth again when Wolfgang needs a place to hang. Thank you!!”
“Valerie was awesome! We needed someone to walk Pepper Ann and let her spend part of the day outside while we were on a day trip. Communication was excellent throughout, and Valerie’s interaction with Pepper Ann was great too. Would definitely book her again.”
About: We’ve been caring for family and friends’ dogs and puppies for 14 yrs, We have potty trained puppies, taught them to sit, wait patiently for food, and other fun tricks. Most importantly they get a lot of attention and love. We want to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible while away from home, creating the perfect home away from home! We both work from home, so rest assured that someone will be around with your furry loved one. We will make sure they have several potty breaks, timely feeding, and are well taken care of. Your furry loved one will be in the house where we keep a close eye at all times. We also use gates periodically to close off sections of the house, especially while feeding, if necessary. We have a fenced yard where they can run around in which we usually also keep a close eye while they are out

“I'll definitely book Jackie again. It's hard to leave your pup in the hands of someone you just met, but Jackie made us feel that Cooper was in good hands. We appreciated her consideration and care with him.”

About: Hello! I'm a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Throughout my life, I've shared my home with six dogs of my own and several foster dogs. Additionally, I have experience raising puppies, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with different needs and temperaments. Years ago, I worked in a veterinary clinic, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals and assisting with their medical needs. Because of that experience, I am comfortable administering medications, including pills and injections, if needed. I currently work primarily from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. Your pet will never be left alone for more than six hours, and in most cases, they'll enjoy having me nearby throughout the day. I live in a single-family home with a secure fence around the whole property, giving dogs plenty of safe space to run, play, explore, and burn off energy. I have my own dog, River, about half the time, as I share custody with my ex. River is wonderful with other dogs; her favorite thing is creating a "puppy pile" by curling up next to—or sometimes right on top of—whoever happens to be nearby. If your dog enjoys canine companionship, they'll likely have a new cuddle buddy. My love for animals extends beyond dogs. I adopted an elderly cat from a family friend who could no longer care for her, and I also adopted a turtle from a friend who moved. My turtle now enjoys a comfortable home in a spacious 100-gallon aquarium. Providing animals with safe, enriching environments is something I genuinely enjoy. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you're away. Pet parents describe me as patient, caring, responsible, and communicative. I believe regular updates and clear communication provide peace of mind, and I'll treat your pet with the same kindness and attention I give my own animals. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home most days. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and potty breaks throughout the day. On the days I go into the office, I am never gone all day—typically no more than six hours at a time. When caring for dogs in my home, I provide frequent opportunities for them to play and go potty in my fully fenced yard. I strive to make pets feel comfortable and secure by maintaining a consistent routine, providing fresh water, feeding them according to their schedule, and giving them plenty of attention and enrichment. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals that require medication, including administering pills and injections when needed. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow the routines and instructions provided. I know that pets are often most comfortable when their schedules remain consistent, so I prioritize maintaining their normal feeding, exercise, medication, and bedtime routines. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they are away.
About: I’ve been grateful to have had the opportunity to take care of my family members’ and friends’ furry friends, both cats and dogs, by providing adequate food and water, ensuring potty breaks and/or clean up time, and engaging and stimulating play and enrichment time. I also have experience reinforcing puppy training skills with puppies when sitting and looking after newly trained pups. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pup and/or kitty. My schedule is pretty open and flexible and willing to accommodate as needed with adequate notice. Safety is my number one priority, so when going into your home to look after your furry friend, I make sure all safety and security measures are in place while I am there and when I leave for the day. I communicate effectively and promptly with pet owners to confirm safety & lock up procedure of the home as well as when any other safety or environment concerns arise.
About: I am a dog lover who would love to watch over your pet while you’re away. I have a house in Norwood Park where dogs have free range to roam about and a large fenced in backyard to explore. I am self employed and spend a good amount of time at home. I love dogs & want to use our space to welcome fun visitors! I am home most of the day & am able to let dogs outside & go for walks frequently. If I do need to leave, dogs have free range of the house to explore.
“We had a great experience with Jenny! She was right on time and kept us updated throughout the walk. Our dog was happy and well cared for. We were very pleased and will absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and am an absolute dog lover! I have a large fenced in yard that dogs love to play in. I look forward to caring for your furry friend and helping with whatever they need. I work from home and can usually adjust my schedule to accommodate your needs. I’m available all day or night and weekends as well. Thank you! I have a dog and three children who will be able to play with your animal while I care for them in my home. I work from the house, so will spend the day with your dog. Your dog will have as much time playing in the backyard that they’d like!
“Mary was so great with Milo, especially for his first walk with Rover ? can tell she really has a passion for dogs and making sure they feel comfortable. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly walker/sitter!”
“Elva always does a great job walking our dog. She communicates well and always lets us know about changes or if there is anything we need to know about our dogs walk.”
“Wow Jonathon is amazing! He takes my dog on a walk every morning during the week. It gives me peace of mind knowing he is in good hands with him. Outstanding knowledge and experience second to None! Thanks for the great work my friend.”
“Jessica is amazing! She came over early to meet nyx, sent updates and took our girl on long, sniffing walks while we were away. She was respectful and caring and wonderful!”

They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”

“Amanda was amazing! Very helpful in coordinating pick up and drop off, great communication and lots of updates about our pups stay. Most importantly, it’s so clear how much she enjoyed and cared for our dog. We will definitely be asking Amanda to dog-sit for our next trip!”
“We have so much peace of mind leaving our dogs with Eric — they are always so well taken care of! Eric is also very accommodating and communicative, sending lots of photos throughout their stay.”
“Laurianne and Sven were amazing! They sent updates and pictures each day and I felt like my pup was in good hands the whole time. Will definitely be using them again on future trips!”
“My dog was well taken care of and had a great time with Rico! He was great about sending photos and updates. I was unsure of my exact timing for drop off and pick up and Rico was so kind and flexible with me. Excellent experience and I'd be happy to have Margo stay with him anytime!”
“Can't say enough thanks to Jorge and Lake. After my travel plans unexpectedly changed, they were able to keep my dog an extra night. I truly appreciate their flexibility and love that they embrace my high energy pup!”
About: Taking care of pets is second hand nature for me! I was raised with a cat and a dog. Currently, I also babysit a 10 month year-old baby boy and a golden retriever so I’m very accustomed to taking care of animals in all aspects. I currently have a part-time job and am a part time student but for the most part, I’m free and great at scheduling. Always feel free to reach out. High-quality pet care requires a reliable environment where safety, routine, and engagement remain top priorities. Experience with animal care ensures that guest pets receive attentive supervision while owners are away. Whether hosting boarding clients or visiting a home for drop, in services, maintaining a secure and familiar schedule is the baseline for every booking.
“Andrea was my first sitter on Rover. It couldn't be better. After meeting her and her family I went very calmly on my vacation. Athena would stay with her again without a doubt.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Sarah and her family took great care of Boomer during a 2 night stay. They have a beautiful home and yard. Coordinating drop off and pick up was a breeze. She sent us photos of Boomer having a good time. Sarah was attentive when he became anxious and was very patient and helped him through it. We would recommend her and would definitely hire her again in the future.”
“Beryl was great to work with, and I would definitely want to book her again. She is organized and prompt in her communication and super reliable with rover responsibilities. Plus the dog (s) were a big fan of hers as well. They knew they were safe and well-cared for. Thanks Beryl!”
