I highly recommend letting your pet stay with Clarissa and will most definitely be contacting her again to watch Coco in the future.”

“Rizwan, Noorjahan and their family were such great sitters for our dog and cat! They are such a sweet family and we received many pictures every day. I was reassured that both my pets were having a great time with them! Will definitely reach out again for our next sitting.”
“Maria took such excellent care of my dog, she really went above and beyond in making sure he was safe, comfortable, and cared for ! I wasn’t expecting it to be so snowy while I was away, and she provided shoes and a coat for him to borrow: so thoughtful and really providing the best care ! As a highlight she also sent many photos and videos and was very responsive via Rover. I highly recommend Maria !”
“Carla and her roommate took such great care of my girl. I had to find care last minute before a trip, and Carla was available and accommodating. She sent regular updates and great pics. Both my dog and I were really happy with Carla and definitely plan to use her again!”
“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.????”
“Arlene was a great sitter for our energetic puppy. This was our first experience leaving our puppy for an extended period of time, and having our puppy stay with Arlene was the best thing we could have done. She was very attentive giving Bailey frequent walks and kept us updated with daily pics. We’ll be sure to use Arlene again!”
“Diana & Scott were wonderful! I felt super comfortable leaving my elderly dog with them and could tell she was very well taken care of! Also they sent great pictures! Would definitely recommend them!”
“Diana took really good care of our dog Lucy for over a week! She was flexible and gave us updates. When we picked up Lucy we can tell she was happy and enjoyed Diana and her family’s company! Thank you Diana for loving Lucy while we were away!”
“This was our second stay for our grumpy old man with Tanya. It is SUCH a relief to have a reliable caregiver and safe place to stay for our sweet boy when we are (way) out of town. He has such a great time and adores all the attention he gets - I don't know that he's particularly happy to come home! Thank you, Tanya, and I'm sure we'll see you soon!”
“Naomi and Johann helped to board Coco twice in a row. After 6 days Coco was excited to see me for a min when I picked her up but back to her old self right after and that’s exactly what you’d want - just like she only just took a walk with friends in the park. I’d be happy to bring her back next time!”

“Nicholas did a great job looking after my cat. She was always very shy and he would make sure to find where she was which would sometimes take a bit longer as she found new hiding spots. He completed all tasks that I asked of him. He was always on time and very professional.”

I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
About: Cats have always been a huge part of my life. Since I was young, I’ve always had a special love and admiration for them — I’m very much a cat person through and through. 😻 I naturally understand and respect their unique personalities, boundaries and routines. Every cat is so different — some are playful and social, while others are shy, independent, or need time to warm up — and I always adjust my approach to meet them where they are. I focus on creating a calm, safe and comfortable environment where your cat can feel at ease. Whether that means playtime, gentle companionship or simply giving them space while still being a reassuring presence nearby, I follow their lead — as you often have no other choice with kitties 😹 they truly do what they want! I also know the importance of paying close attention to their body language, moods and habits so I can make sure they feel understood, secure, and cared for while you’re away. 💗
“Best sitter ever! Helped our anxious dogs through a week of our absence and allowed my family and I to enjoy a vacation and family wedding with ease! Thank you SO much, Yazmin!”
“Dan was a much appreciated help with my 2 cats while I was out of the country for 2 weeks! He was attentive and provided great descriptions and photos after each visit. Cannot recommend his services enough, will definitely go to him again next time.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat received during the 30-minute check-in! The sitter was punctual, attentive, and experienced with feline personalities. Ann ensured my cat was fed and played with, and even sent adorable photo updates that gave me total peace of mind. She genuinely cares about animals, and my cat warmed up to her instantly. Highly recommend—will book again! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“This was our first time using River and I’m happy to have found Jessica. She remembered details about the cats that I shared during our first conversation, and shared many updates and photos from each visit. Thank you!”
About: Hi I’m Patrick! I love dogs and have been around them most of my life, I have three of my own named Bubba, Sassy and Neo who I walk every day. I will be very patient and kind with your pup as if they were my own and make sure they’re having as much fun as I’ll be having! I love all animals including cats but sadly I have family that is allergic so that is a no go but I would definitely consider myself a dog person anyway , no dog is too big or too small for me I’ll love em all the same. Id be ecstatic to add ur dogs to my daily routine:) Questions are welcome of course! My schedule is relatively flexible besides taking care of my own dogs. I am somewhat limited in means of transportation since I ride my bike to get around but that won’t stop me from meeting new dogs! If you do chose me to walk your dog we can discuss what would be best for picking them up for the walk and dropping them back off at your home. If your dog is crate trained I have no problem making sure they go into their crate before I leave.
“We were glad to find Coleen last minute and having our 2 cats well taken care of. She made effort to get familiar with the kitties who can be shy and scared of new people. She was also thoughtful in their comfort level both with her and all around in the apartment when we were away. It was assuring to read the detailed visit summary that Coleen made.”
About: I have taken care of cats almost my entire life. I am very diligent about play time and scooping the litter box. I will also make sure to send you lots of pictures during your time away. Lastly, medication management and feeding are very important to me. As a nursing student, I find it best to collaborate with the owners and make lists in order to make sure your pet is healthy and happy.

About: What truly sets us apart is the genuine love and attention we give every pet, treating them as if they were our own. Caring for animals has been part of my life since childhood, from dogs and cats to rabbits. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and (of course) snuggle their pets, knowing they’d be cared for with patience and kindness. Because I work from home, your pet is never alone. They receive constant companionship, supervision, and plenty of affection throughout the day. I’m attentive and experienced with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies who need play and structure to senior pets who deserve extra comfort, gentleness, and care. For added peace of mind and convenience, we’re located just minutes from O’Hare Airport with easy access to the Metra train, making drop-off and pick-up simple for frequent travelers and busy pet parents alike. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need dependable care close to home, your pet will be safe, loved, and well looked after here. Since I work from home, your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day, they’ll never feel lonely here! I have a fenced in yard with cameras and we will always monitor while pets are outside. I am a lifelong animal lovers and have cared for pets my entire life, including dogs, cats, and even rabbits. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I’d love to open my home and heart to your fur baby and treat them like part of the family.
“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.”
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: 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. Many 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. While many dogs are perfectly happy playing in the yard, I'm also happy to take dogs on walks upon request at no additional charge. 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. I have been a foster mom to dogs, so if I'm caring for a puppy or a dog that isn't fully potty trained, I take extra precautions, including removing rugs and closely supervising indoor time to set everyone up for success. 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 generally provide two walks per day, along with frequent opportunities to play and go potty in my fully fenced yard. I tailor activities to each dog's age, energy level, and preferences. 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 as closely as possible. 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.
“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. Janessa’s home is the perfect place for your doggo to spend time at - I absolutely recommend you choose Janessa for your fur-paninis’ needs!!”
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. 😀
“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.”
“We appreciate how Sasha took such good care of our senior dog. He enjoyed meeting her dog and napping in her comfortable home. She responded quickly to our initial request, communicated clearly along the way, and sent several cute photos. I definitely recommend Sasha!”
“Elva and her daughter rescued my Saturday, I needed to find a sitter for my dog Sugar on just a few hours notice, and they came through for me! They took great care of her, sent a couple of pics/updates, and I'm happy to recommend!”
“Finley is super responsive. We booked a last minute daycare date, and Finley was great with reaching out with any questions. We also received videos and pics which is much appreciated! Thanks Finley!”

I appreciated Valerie’s patience, flexibility, and ability to be both laidback with my pup while also giving her space to indulge her zoomies. Plus, we got lots of pics throughout the day. Thanks for a wonderful stay, will use again!”

The safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide consistent, individualized care. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and household rules.

“Paula is phenomenal. My dog Molly had a blast with her. Molly is very dog selective but got along with Choclo very well. Molly also loved Paula and her mom. I got many videos and photos throughout the day and updated on how everyone is getting along. We will 100% be returning to hang out with Paula and Choclo.”
“Andrea and Jerome are great! They are easy to work with, and receptive to any requests. We can tell Cody enjoys his time with them, since it’s difficult to get him to leave! We would definitely book again.”

About: While I’m beginning my professional pet care journey, I’ve been around animals my entire life — including cats, dogs, turtles, and more — and I’m very comfortable providing loving, compassionate, high-quality care.

I greet them warmly and offer plenty of pets, cuddles, affection, and companionship based on their individual personality and comfort level.

For pets who require walks, I ensure they are safely harnessed and comfortable while allowing them time to explore and sniff at their own pace. I stay attentive to their surroundings, prioritize their safety around other animals, and make sure they remain comfortable in all weather conditions — never too hot or too cold. My goal is always to help your pets feel safe, cared for, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. :)

This was our first experience leaving our puppy for an extended period of time, and having our puppy stay with Arlene was the best thing we could have done. She was very attentive giving Bailey frequent walks and kept us updated with daily pics. We’ll be sure to use Arlene again!”
“This was our second stay for our grumpy old man with Tanya. It is SUCH a relief to have a reliable caregiver and safe place to stay for our sweet boy when we are (way) out of town. He has such a great time and adores all the attention he gets - I don't know that he's particularly happy to come home! Thank you, Tanya, and I'm sure we'll see you soon!”
“Rico took great care of Drax. His frequent updates gave us peace of mind that Drax was happy at his home away from home. Will definitely book 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!”
“Jonathon couldn’t have been a better choice to take care of our puppy, Beverly. She is a 95lb big baby mastiff who has never spent a day without us and needs a lot of attention and cuddles keep her happy. Our honeymoon was 12 days long and I was very nervous leaving her for that long. Jonathon sent us lots of pictures and it was very obvious that she was happy and safe in their care and allowed me to relax and enjoy our trip. Can’t recommend them enough and so happy to have found a sitter we trust with our precious very large baby!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Sasha! She was fantastic with Moon, and it was so comforting to know he was in great hands. Sasha kept me updated throughout the stay, which really put me at ease. Moon got along wonderfully with Nacho, and it was clear he was having the best time. I would absolutely recommend Sasha to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter. Thank you, Sasha!”
“Thao has kept my Golden Retriever, Sully, for two different stays when I have needed to board him when my husband and I travel. Once was for a 4 day stint and the other time was for a short weekend. She is very communicable via cell phone and responds to messages very quickly and responsibly. She has sent me updates of Sully with photos and videos and been very nice. It's been really great to be able to leave home and feel confident and trust that my dog is in good hands. She has even come to my home to pick him up before when I haven't had time to drop him off, and she's been very flexible and easy to work with. If you need to leave your pet with someone when you are vacationing, I would HIGHLY recommend her! I have been very pleased with both of my experiences with Thao and Sully always seems excited to see her, which says a lot. Thank you for taking such great care of my fur baby, Thao!!”
“Roman was Charise’s first ever Rover dog and we were really happy to have connected with her for our 5-day trip. Charise was a great sitter—she sent detailed updates about how Roman was doing with Navi and hope he was settling in while we were away. Her home is very clean and Charise is a very warm and welcoming host. Navi is just the cutest little nugget ever, and I could tell immediately Roman would feel right at home with Charise. Our big GSD is a big baby and throws a bit of a fit every time we leave, but Charise and Navi were patient with him while he warmed up to the idea of us being away—by the time we returned, he was fully integrated into their little family. Roman is allowed on the couch and bed for cuddles, and Charise has a full basement for the dogs to run around and play, a small yard, and she takes them together on long walks. Roman came home fully pooped from a week of playing with Navi and we’ll definitely be using Charise in the future!”
“Gabriela & Richard took awesome care of my Tyson, I feel lucky to have found people who took such great care of my pup! Every picture or video they shared showed him as being completely comfortable and happy. I would highly recommend them!”
“Georgia was AMAZING! She was so flexible and constantly was sending me pictures/updates. The care she provided my pup was exceptional. Her doggy Livy is also perfection and did so well with my pup. Will most definitely always come back to Georgia when I need a sitter!”
“Adam and Keit came in clutch when our originally scheduled sitter no-showed last minute. They were gracious and understanding, and took great care of our dog.”
“This was Roisins second stay with Tammy and she had a great time. Tammy creates a lovely environment for the dogs she cares for and I feel lucky to have found her!”
“I can't thank Troy enough for watching Kash on such short notice! I was in a bind, and they were a lifesaver. Kash came home happy and tired, which is always a good sign. I got updates and pictures throughout the time I was away, which gave me total peace of mind. I would 100% recommend Troy to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter!"”
