“I couldn't have asked for a better family to take care of my puppy while I was traveling.

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!!”

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!”
“Communication with Tiffany was quick and straightforward. She offered to do a meet & greet as early as the same day, which I appreciate. She showed me her space and made Malcolm feel so welcome.

“Jiayi was awesome and I really appreciated all the pics and videos she sent! Perfect person for my firework anxious dog to spend the 4th with. Thank you so much Jiayi!”

Also appreciated you taking him out to the dog park, playing with him inside, taking him on walks, and putting him in his crate for nap time/at night. Would book with you again! Thank you so so much for the great care!”
“Cheyanne was amazing. She had great communication and my dog can be timid and not eat much at dog sitters but she didn't have that problem with her. Best sitter! Thank you”

“Nadine was great with my cats! Super communicative and sent lots of pictures. Everything was clean and kept up with. Will definitely book with her next time I need a sitter!”
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!
“Joselin was so kind and responsive. He took care of my sweet baby cat for two days very well. She is so communicative! She sent a lot of photos and videos of my cat. Highly recommended.”
“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!”
“I am so happy that I found Christina to take care of my little Rainbow while I was away! She was very caring and they bonded like love at first sight for our meet and greet. 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!”

“Jenna was a great sitter!! She took care of my fur kitty while away on holiday, made sure he got his food, tube treat and some play and cuddle time. She even helped bring in some packages that came for me. Very communicative, professional and easy going. Thank you!! Would hire again or recommend to others.”

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!.
“I was looking for daycare for my dog and am happy to have found Tamara! She’s great with communication and has been flexible which has been very helpful. And my dogs tail is always wagging when we walk up.”
“From the moment Teddy entered E. K's home it was like I didn't exist. Kind of like dropping off your kids at preschool and they don't say goodbye. Teddy had a great day with the other dogs especially Allie and will definitely be back.”
“Ashley did such a great job with our 5 month old puppy! She made sure Connie felt safe and comfortable during one of our first times away from her, and Connie returned home tuckered out from a great day of play.”
“Bola came through for me last minute and took great care of Bea!! She sent me picture updates and communicated well throughout the day. Will definitely be booking again with her.”
“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!”

“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!
“Excellent dog care! I booked this because the regular sitter was out of town and was most pleased. Now I know who my next regular sitter would be, should something change with my current one.”
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! :)”
“Jiayi was amazing! Her communication and care exceeded my expectations and she was willing to accept my little one for day care last minute! My pup loved her and she was so good with his potty/feed schedule as well. Definitely booking with her again in the future.”
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.
“Amy provided exceptional care for Maeve during her time at daycare. Maeve had an amazing time playing with her new friend Frank, and Amy treated her with the same warmth and attention as if she were her own. I highly recommend Amy and look forward to booking with her again!”
“Anni is so amazing!! She watches our puppy when my boyfriend is traveling and I have to be in office and she sends so many updates and our puppy Sally loves seeing her every time.”
About: I have a beautiful, clean home with a beautiful dog run. I am trustworthy and have references for your approval. I come from the pet industry and work from home. I work from home and teach online cooking classes. I have a very flexible schedule to accommodate any needs. I am available 7 days a week, including holidays. I have dog training experience and will care for your dog as if it were my own. I have a pet profile I will ask you to complete so that I can provide the best care possible.

“Tamara has been walking my dog Blowe daily since this summer, and I honestly couldn’t ask for better care. Blowe genuinely looks forward to his morning walks with her and always comes back happy and relaxed. Having someone I trust with him every day gives me real peace of mind.”

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.
“My boy seemed happy in every photo. She took great care to keep me updated before and after every walk. She even cleaned him up after an accident. I would definitely book with her again!”
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.
“Jozelin took Leo on morning walks while I was out of town for a few days. She followed my instructions, was respectful of the space, & was able to handle my Leo. Will book again!! Tyyy”
About: I grew up w a German shepherd and pit bull mix which had 7 puppies which we also raised. I am currently mama to a black lab named Mae Mae. I work from home and like to utilize walks with my dog for breaks in between meetings. I’d love for the opportunity to increase my daily walks with more furry friends. I’d make sure the animals were cared for with plenty of food and water, and would be sure to be attentive to their barks or cries for additional needs.
“Julia was absolutely wonderful with my pooch! My pup took to her right away. She was very communicative and flexible with accommodating my last minute requests. And with each walk I received pics and my pup couldn’t have looked happier! 😊”
“Lillian has been great with my dogs and very communicative throughout the walks. She took the time to make sure they were comfortable, shared updates and photos, and went above and beyond with their care. I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to work with my schedule, especially while I was out of town. I felt confident knowing my dogs were in good hands, and I would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.”
“Consistent, punctual, communicative, and generous. She shows up everyday in a timely manner, cares for my dog, and even gives complementary baths and cleaning if she makes a mess. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 🤗 she offers a good range of services as well!!”
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid. My many years of pet ownership has trained me for this opportunity. My Chewy is both happy and healthy. I’m recently retired. My daily schedule is built around the needs of my boy, Chewy. He’s walked at minimum three (3) times a day; my friends and family know the routine. I have a secure deck to allow fresh air and free movement with guaranteed security. I have a crate if needed, but think all dogs should have free movement daily.
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 prioritize flexibility and consistency to ensure that your pet feels comfortable and well cared for. Here’s how I incorporate pet sitting into my schedule: Daily Care: I am available for drop-in visits, walks, and playtime throughout the day, making sure your pet stays active and engaged. My schedule allows me to spend quality one-on-one time with pets to meet their exercise, companionship, and care needs. Flexible Hours: Whether you need morning, midday, or evening care, I adjust my schedule to ensure your pet gets the attention they need, especially if they’re on a routine or have special requirements. Weekend Availability: I also offer weekend care, ensuring pets aren’t left alone during your time away, with plenty of opportunities for exercise, attention, and even trips to pet-friendly locations. No matter the time of day, your pet's well-being is my priority, and I will ensure they’re happy and healthy during your absence. I create a safe, pet-proofed environment in my home and follow your pet’s routine closely. I provide constant supervision, offer regular updates, and ensure their comfort.
“Lisa "Rane" was fantastic with Bobby. She is prompt and personable. My dog received her well upon their first meeting. She and I developed a good rapport which led me to feel comfortable trusting her with Bobby. I will make her my first request when needing your service in the future.”

“We planned our trip ahead of time and Bola made sure to keep open communication along the way. As we dropped our pup off to Bola, the transition was very easy. While Bola had Junie, Bola made sure to keep us updated with pictures. Thanks Bola”
“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!”

“Katie is so amazing!! So flexible with timing, kind, and sends pictures! She also was so nice in meeting me before so I could make sure my dog would be okay with her dog. Her dog is so chill so it was perfect for my anxious dog. Thank you so much again Katie!!! Definitely will book again 😊😊😊”

“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!”
