Cassandra took great care of my dog Ace during his 4-day stay. I can tell he had a good time hanging out with her dog, Chewy. Cassandra was a pleasure to work with and I hope to use her services again for future boarding.

I couldn't have asked for a better family to take care of my puppy while I was traveling. I could tell that the family truly enjoyed taking care of my dog Mac and gave him all the love and cuddles he is used to getting. Liz provided numerous pics and updates every day single day. I will definitely re-book the next time I travel! I would highly recommend Liz and family.

Chelsea was phenomenal!! 5 out of 5 stars doesn’t even begin to cover it. So easy to communicate with, we received more pictures then we knew what to do with, and she was consistently taking the dogs on walks, to the beach, and out for treats. Couldn’t be more thankful. If we are ever in Chicago again we will be using her services!!

Here’s a review you can leave for Jenna on the Rover app: We can't thank Jenna enough for taking such great care of our dog, Lola, while we were away for a family funeral. She went above and beyond, sending us daily pictures and updates that gave us peace of mind during a difficult time. When we missed our flight and needed to extend Lola's stay, Jenna was incredibly accommodating and flexible, which was a huge relief. Lola clearly loved her, and we could tell she was in the best hands. Jenna is sweet, reliable, and a true dog lover. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! We will definitely be using her services again!

Nathan has taken care of our Luna twice now, both times on short notice, and we couldn’t be happier with him. He is incredibly caring, attentive, and truly treats Luna like his own. He kept us feeling completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. The pickup and drop-off service is an added convenience that we really appreciate. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust and will definitely be using Nathan again in the future. Highly recommend!

About: I've had a cat myself for 13 years, been a sitter for my neighbor's cat for the past year, and volunteered at Off The Rocks Cat Rescue Shelter for 4 years when I was in college :) Thus, I have extensive experience following detailed instructions to care for cats with the utmost care and responsibility. My cat is also diabetic and I do insulin injections for him, so I am prepared for any special accommodations in caring for your cats!

Chelsea did an amazing job caring for my kitties over the holidays! First, I ended up booking shorter notice and Chelsea responded immediately, was flexible, and was able to accommodate me and my babies. Chelsea was a great communicator when she was caring for my kitties, she gave consistent updates about how they were doing, as well as the tasks she completed when caring for them (refilling food and water, cleaning the litter box). I really appreciated the time and effort Chelsea put into caring for my babies, especially during the holiday time. Thank you!

It shows that Christina really loves cats and went out of her way to make sure that mine was comfortable and happy! When I came home, everything was neat and clean and Rainbow was happy and ready to play as if I had never left! I would highly recommend Christina and book her again, thank you so much!

About: What sets me aside from other sitters is the love i have for animals. Since i was a little girl I've always loved being around animals they were and still are very therapeutic to me. I've had big dogs from Pitbull's, Dobermann, American bullies, all the way down to tiny dogs; yorkies, shitzu etc. even different kinds of cats you name it. As I've gotten older I've gained sooo much experience to the point I've had at home births with my dogs and cats all by myself; even home training my own animals as well. My goal here is to gain a work related reputation where i can truly start doing what i love and make a name for myself until i can become that super Veterinarian I've always dreamed of being. So far all i have is personal experience with dealing with animals at home and at my job(My residents animals). This would truly mean a lot if i can show off my skills and how genuine i am with animals and even people. Pet Care currently fits for me during the week days. I work doubles every Saturday and Sunday; whereas for school i do online Vet courses which is self pace. Which means i am free during the week Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm if communicated at least at least 30min-1hr in advanced i could stay later if needed. Although, I am a mother which means i can not do any services past 7pm nor any over night services. I also am located downtown Chicago but I am willing to travel!! One thing about me i will spoil your baby(s) haha; I am very hands on and affectionate with animals unless they require space lol. I have never been a crate animal person BUT i know every household is different and every animal requires different training. Again, animals bring a lot of joy to my heart; very therapeutic for me and if given the chance you wouldn't be disappointed i promise!.

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!

Flexibility is required in terms of visit time. 🏠 House sittings: My standard rate covers overnight care from evenings through mornings and includes standard morning and evening potty walks, plus a final potty break before bedtime. Daytime hours, extended exercise walks, and constant care are not included in the base rate and may require additional fees depending on care needs and scheduling. 🚗Pick-up / Drop-off: Available upon request for repeat clients or when schedules align with my Lombard–Chicago commute route. 🐕 Boarding & daycare: Limited spots available - please message to confirm availability. 🏡 Home Environment & Safety Calm, cozy home with fenced yard and pet-friendly setup - a safe, peaceful space for every guest to relax, play, and rest comfortably during their stay.

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.

About: Looking for a dog sitter with a passion for pups and years of experience? I’ve not only been a dog mom for 14 years, but recently assisting in training the now 6 month old puppy that’s in my parent’s care. I’m the #1 dog sitter amongst my network, not only because I work from home and have availability, but because I also include their fur babies in my dog’s activities as well i.e. dog park dates, dog birthday parties, and doggie brunch! I’m a full- time remote employee with a very relaxed work schedule. Your pet will be spending the majority of their time in my care. I have a fenced front yard and a patio along with one 22lbs dog that will keep your pet company. I also have a lot of space to allow the dog to move around as they would like.

About: Hi! My name is Monica and I recently graduated from Indiana University. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I was in college, I fostered through local animal shelters, which gave me experience caring for animals with all different personalities, ages, and needs. I’m also currently a volunteer at the Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago, where I help care for animals and support the shelter. I work from home, so I’m able to give pets a lot of attention throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone for long. My dad is also recently retired and home most of the time, so there’s always someone around to give extra attention, playtime, and care. I have a small Yorkie named Tucker and a cat named Penny. They’re both very friendly and used to being around other animals. Tucker is great at matching other dogs’ energy (whether they want to play or relax), and Penny is very calm and tends to mind her own business. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away! I recently graduated from Indiana University and am now back home in Chicago full-time. My dad is retired and home all day, and I spend most of my time at home too, so your pet will always have company and attention. I’m not super busy and genuinely love being around animals — it’s the perfect setup! I have a private, fully fenced yard and never let pets outside without supervision. My home is spacious, and pets are welcome to relax anywhere they’d like. I also have a 2-year-old, 4.5-pound Yorkie who mostly keeps to himself but is always up for a little playtime if your pet wants a buddy! I’m happy to crate your dog at night if you prefer, or they’re welcome to sleep with me — I’d love that too!

About: Hi! It's been a pleasure watching so many amazing furry friends over the years here on Rover. I recently got a little buddy myself, so I am focusing on caring for her. If you're a repeat client (I have watched your pet before) feel free to send me a message and I'll see what I can do! Thanks :) currently working week day evenings and some Sundays, but my schedule varies a lot. Feel free to check with me and I’ll let you know what it looks like! My home is completely dog-safe. They won't be able to get into any trouble whether or not I'm around. I think body language is extremely important and I have a knack for figuring out what a dog may be wanting.

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: With over two decades of dedicated experience in pet care, I have nurtured and cherished dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to wise elderly companions. My profound joy in this journey stems from the deep connections formed with these furry friends. Having worked with a diverse array of breeds, I've honed my understanding of their unique needs and temperaments. In addition, my expertise extends to puppy training, where patience and consistency are key. Caring for dogs isn't just a passion; it's a lifelong commitment that brings immense fulfillment. I work a full time remote schedule. I am at home Mondays and Fridays. Im off on the weekends. So I have plenty of time to play and go on walks! Your pets can sleep in the room with me on their beds or wherever makes them most comfortable. I have a baby gate or I can also crate your baby if that is what you prefer.

About: What sets me aside from other sitters is the love i have for animals. Since i was a little girl I've always loved being around animals they were and still are very therapeutic to me. I've had big dogs from Pitbull's, Dobermann, American bullies, all the way down to tiny dogs; yorkies, shitzu etc. even different kinds of cats you name it. As I've gotten older I've gained sooo much experience to the point I've had at home births with my dogs and cats all by myself; even home training my own animals as well. My goal here is to gain a work related reputation where i can truly start doing what i love and make a name for myself until i can become that super Veterinarian I've always dreamed of being. So far all i have is personal experience with dealing with animals at home and at my job(My residents animals). This would truly mean a lot if i can show off my skills and how genuine i am with animals and even people. Pet Care currently fits for me during the week days. I work doubles every Saturday and Sunday; whereas for school i do online Vet courses which is self pace. Which means i am free during the week Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm if communicated at least at least 30min-1hr in advanced i could stay later if needed. Although, I am a mother which means i can not do any services past 7pm nor any over night services. I also am located downtown Chicago but I am willing to travel!! One thing about me i will spoil your baby(s) haha; I am very hands on and affectionate with animals unless they require space lol. I have never been a crate animal person BUT i know every household is different and every animal requires different training. Again, animals bring a lot of joy to my heart; very therapeutic for me and if given the chance you wouldn't be disappointed i promise!.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and breeds, from a beloved Cocker Spaniel to two Giant Schnauzers and later a Pit Bull. Each one helped shape my love and understanding of animals and taught me how unique every pet’s personality can be. Today, I’m the proud owner of a French Bulldog who keeps me on my toes and a pet snake, giving me experience caring for both traditional and exotic pets. I’ve also spent time around cats through friends and family and am comfortable caring for feline companions as well. While attending Ball State University, I volunteered at local animal shelters, helping care for animals and supporting their daily needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or senior, I understand the importance of providing patience, attention, and loving care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine, as I currently care for my own pets and understand the importance of consistency, attention, and reliability. I work as a State Farm agent in Chicago’s West Loop, and because it is a family-owned business that my family manages and operates daily, I have some flexibility within my schedule when needed. During the week, I am available for pet care before work, after work, and during my lunch break. Depending on the day and my workload, I may also have additional flexibility to accommodate specific care needs. On weekends, I typically have more availability and can provide extra time and attention for walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, and companionship. I am careful not to overbook myself because I believe every pet deserves quality care and attention. When I accept a booking, you can trust that I have the time and availability to provide dependable, attentive care and ensure your pet remains safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. At this time, I’m unable to offer boarding services in my home due to my own pets. However, I am happy to provide a variety of other services, including drop-in visits, dog walking, overnight stays, and personalized in-home pet care. My goal is to ensure your pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment while receiving the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. Whether your pet needs playtime, feeding, medication administration, exercise, or simply a reassuring presence while you’re away, I am committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to their needs.

About: I've had pets since I was 9. From 9 till now I've had cats, dogs, fishes, and guinea pigs. I have experience with dealing with pets that may have previously trauma issues also with pets that may need careful care like medince or special needs. Even pets that don't need extra care just pets that wants to have long walks or need a lot of play time . Pet care is an important part of my routine, and I make sure I have dedicated time each day to give every pet the attention and care they deserve. I plan my schedule around my bookings so I can be reliable, on time, and fully present for walks, feedings, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I believe consistency is important for pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine and provide dependable, loving care. I provide a safe, clean, and caring environment for every pet. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any medications if needed. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs and energy level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, keep the home clean, follow all care instructions carefully, and send regular photo and text updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, secure, and loved while their family is away.

About: While I do not currently share my life with a dog of my own (it's a matter of being unable to adopt every dog I lay my eyes on!), I dearly love helping pet parents keep their dogs happy and healthy and preferably in their own homes while their owners are away. I love to travel,and love to spend time with as many dogs as I can possibly fit into my day. You can often find me chatting with others about their animals, and I am always interested in hearing about every little detail. I enjoy helping people get a greater understanding regarding the welfare of their animals, and sometimes bore my friends with random and obscure dog breeds, and what I know of their temperament and behavior. I'm proud to say I try to research as many breeds as I can so that I know what to expect, and hey, it's always fun to just know why and how a breed came into existence! I happen to also be studying veterinary technology, for the knowledge of nutrition and behavior, since surgery is more information than I want. :D I am also very happy to drop by or stay with your cats, and am quite used to the varying personalities of these small creatures: the ones who like to play hide and seek, the aloof, the playful, and the grumpy. I don't mind at all, as long as the cat is comfortable, eating, and using their litter box, all is well! I can work my day around your dog or cat, as I am a dedicated sitter, and much prefer to spend my time enjoying the company of cats and dogs as much as I can. I much prefer to stay with the dog or cat in their own home, as having their familiar surroundings help them remain peaceful, happy, and comfortable.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog and cat for 7 years and before then was the go to sitter for all my friends with pets! I’m also a PhD student in psychology working in animal behaviors. Since young, I understand animals and respect them: how we treat them influences their behaviors. I’ve got the heart and the training to give your babies the best care they deserve when you are away! My schedule is flexible as long as we communicate in advance. Mornings work the best at the moment but let me know what you need I’ll try to make it work :) I have a comfy apartment with one dog and one cat. They’ll keep your baby company if you board with us. I’m skilled in introducing new animals to each other, I try to adjust to each animals temperaments. On other visits I try to get to your babies first as well, and of course your tips are always appreciated as you know them the best!

I couldn't have asked for a better family to take care of my puppy while I was traveling. I could tell that the family truly enjoyed taking care of my dog Mac and gave him all the love and cuddles he is used to getting. Liz provided numerous pics and updates every day single day. I will definitely re-book the next time I travel! I would highly recommend Liz and family.

Chelsea was phenomenal!! 5 out of 5 stars doesn’t even begin to cover it. So easy to communicate with, we received more pictures then we knew what to do with, and she was consistently taking the dogs on walks, to the beach, and out for treats. Couldn’t be more thankful. If we are ever in Chicago again we will be using her services!!

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!

Ashley and her daughter treated our dog as if she was their own! Regular updates made me feel so confident that she was well taken care of. No issues with the other dogs she had in her care that weekend either. Will definitely book again!!

Tamara was absolutely amazing with Frankie! From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in safe, caring hands. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. It’s clear she truly loves and understands dogs, and Frankie seemed so happy and comfortable in her care. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Here’s a review you can leave for Jenna on the Rover app: We can't thank Jenna enough for taking such great care of our dog, Lola, while we were away for a family funeral. She went above and beyond, sending us daily pictures and updates that gave us peace of mind during a difficult time. When we missed our flight and needed to extend Lola's stay, Jenna was incredibly accommodating and flexible, which was a huge relief. Lola clearly loved her, and we could tell she was in the best hands. Jenna is sweet, reliable, and a true dog lover. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! We will definitely be using her services again!

Nathan has taken care of our Luna twice now, both times on short notice, and we couldn’t be happier with him. He is incredibly caring, attentive, and truly treats Luna like his own. He kept us feeling completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. The pickup and drop-off service is an added convenience that we really appreciate. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust and will definitely be using Nathan again in the future. Highly recommend!

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.

He went above and beyond what I expected. The retractable leash broke so he bought another 1. He didn't have to do that but he did. Always sent me photos daily. Highly would recommend Angel.

We were a bit nervous leaving our Louie for the first time in years. Iwona’s attention and love to him was evident as he came back happy from his own vacation! The daily pictures and updates were very helpful. We will definitely use Iwona again and again. Thank you!

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!
