“This was our very first experience having an overnight pet sitter, and naturally, my husband and I were a little nervous about leaving our cats and our home in someone else’s care. Looking back, booking Christina D. was truly one of the best decisions we could have made. From our very first communication, Christina made us feel comfortable and confident. She is incredibly reliable, extremely friendly, easy to reach, and an excellent communicator. After speaking with her and then meeting her in person, we immediately felt that she was someone we could trust. She has such a wonderful way with animals, and it was obvious that their comfort and well-being were genuinely important to her. What impressed us just as much was Christina’s professionalism and attention to detail. She followed all of my instructions to a T, which was especially important to me because our cats have their own routines and schedules. I never had to wonder whether something had been forgotten or overlooked. Christina paid attention to every detail and respected exactly how we wanted our cats cared for. Her customer service is absolutely impeccable. She is attentive, responsible, considerate, and very clean and respectful of our home. Having someone stay overnight in your home requires a completely different level of trust, and Christina exceeded our expectations in every way. Most importantly, she gave us something that is priceless when traveling: peace of mind. For the first time, we were able to truly relax and enjoy our trip without worrying about rushing home, disrupting our cats’ routine, or constantly thinking about whether they were comfortable and being properly cared for. They were able to remain in their own home, follow their normal schedule, and receive the attention and companionship they needed. In fact, our experience was so positive that we have already booked Christina for our next trip! Knowing that we have someone this dependable to care for our cats has completely changed the way we feel about traveling. Instead of feeling stressed or guilty about leaving, my husband and I can now look forward to our trips and enjoy ourselves to the fullest, knowing that our cats and our home are in excellent hands. We could not be happier with Christina and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, professional, and truly exceptional overnight pet sitter. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her!”


“Maia is the most kind and thoughtful cat sitter! She took care of our little Brinkis so well! She shared regular updates, took such lovely care of our home, and is an overall loving and warm person. She went above and beyond to care for our little baby. Would highly recommend!”

“Qutress was great with our shy cat, who even let Qutress pet her which is quite rare for newcomers! She was very communicative and gave us wonderful updates every day. Highly recommend!”


“Evan did a wonderful job watching our cat for a long weekend. He was communicative and responsive, which made us feel comfortable and confident that our cat was in great hands.”

“As of now I have an aging cat which presents considerable challenges. Tamara was able to provide good care for her as I was away. She has visited my place many times throughout the year and I highly recommend her for all pet care needs. -William”
“Nadine was wonderful! She took great care of my cat, followed all feeding instructions perfectly, and sent great updates. It gave me total peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands. Thanks so much!”

“Jozelin did a great job with our two cats. Lots of pictures of them hanging out together. She left everything in order after her stay at our place, and we will definitely book with her again.”


“Jasmine took great care of our kitties (2yo and 15yo). She provided daily updates and great pictures. Our older cat has a variety of health issues and Jasmine was able to give her medications and gave updates about her eating. Jasmine is fantastic!”

“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!”


“This is my second time booking a stay with Sally, and I really can’t say enough wonderful things about her. I left her with two (somewhat shy) kittens for two weeks, and they must have remembered her from her first visit because it didn’t take very long for them to warm up and soak up all the love. I haven’t seen them as affectionate with anyone so far as they were with her. She’s so incredibly sweet to them I didn’t have a single worry being away for such an extended period of time. Her pictures also made me rest assured that they were having a blast. I came home to the happiest little guys and I can’t thank Sally enough. I would recommend booking with her in a heartbeat.”

“levi you were so amazing!! we looked forward to your updates every day - thank you for taking such great care of cal and santi!! we hate to leave them but it was such a comfort knowing you were around”

About: I love puppies and letting them get socialized! I have a 5 month old puppy myself and choosing me to watch your baby would be an honor! I work from home so your pup will never be alone!

“Having Tamya provide day care for our Weimaraner MacKenzie was the best decision! We traveled from the DC area to Chicago to visit the new Obama Presidential Library and Center and wanted to ensure she would be in good hands for the several hours we were away. Tamya made planning for MacKenzie very easy and I was impressed with the advanced questionnaire provided so that they could match the needs for her. They got along superbly. Thank you Tamya for caring for our little girl!”

About: i’m patient, detail-oriented, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. i take the time to make shy or anxious pets feel safe and comfortable, and i adjust my approach depending on their energy level and needs. i’m also very reliable with routines and communication, so you can trust your pet is getting consistent care and attention. pet care is part of my everyday routine, as i currently care for two kittens with consistent feeding, cleaning, and play schedules. i’m used to planning my day around their needs, so incorporating additional pet care is something i can do reliably & consistently. when caring for pets in a client’s home, i focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. i follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any specific preferences your pet has. i take the time to understand each cat’s personality—whether they’re social or more independent—and adjust my approach so they feel comfortable in their own space. i also keep the home tidy and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I have experience caring for pets and understand the importance of providing them with patience, attention, and a safe environment. My responsibilities have included feeding pets according to their schedules, providing fresh water, taking dogs for walks, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of exercise and companionship. I am comfortable following specific care instructions and paying close attention to each pet’s individual needs and behavior. I am dependable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. After spending 33 years working in corporate America, I am excited to begin a new chapter in life—one centered around spending more time with animals and providing them with loving, dependable care. I developed a strong sense of responsibility, reliability, patience, and attention to detail. I understands the importance of being trustworthy and following through on commitments, qualities that are just as important when caring for someone’s beloved pets. Now retired, I have the time and flexibility to give pets the attention, companionship, exercise, and care they deserve. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and creating a safe, comfortable environment where they can feel happy and relaxed.

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My loft provides a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel at home. When your pet stays with me, you can feel confident knowing they’re receiving attentive, loving care in a safe home away from home. My goal is simple: for you to have peace of mind and for your pet to feel loved, secure, and comfortable.

About: I grew up taking care of family pets and have also loved sitting for friends and family over the years. I joined Rover while in grad school because I missed having animals around and have been caring for dogs and cats since. Now I work from home and have lots of flexibility in my schedule for care! . What sets me apart? Your pet’s experience: a safe, calm, and of course, fun time. I’ll take the time to learn their quirks, shower them with plenty of love, and make them as comfortable as possible while their human is gone. I don’t have any pets and only take on one Rover client at a time so I can give your pet(s) the dedicated, individualized care they deserve. I also work from home and have lots of flexibility in my schedule. This means less stress, sticking more closely to the routine they’re used to, and no fighting for attention! . Your experience: I know how important it is to have a trustworthy sitter or walker while you’re away for peace of mind and I pride myself on being responsible, detail-oriented, and communicative. For every booking, I send plenty of photos of your pet living their best life and discuss your communication preferences ahead of time so we can be on the same page. I have a lot of flexibility in my daily schedule so I'm very happy to work with you to accommodate your needs or adjust if things change. For boarding, I live with my boyfriend in a spacious condo in Hyde Park, so there's plenty of room for your pet to play, get their zoomies out, or find a spot for some alone time. Although I'm the primary caregiver, he is also always up for a belly scratch or round of tug of war, so I consider him a nice bonus for your pet :) We live on a quiet one-way street on the top floor so there is minimal street noise and overstimulation. For house sitting, I know that your pets may be happiest in their own space, and I'm comfortable working in different environments to make sure they are safe and comfy! I will always be respectful of your space and communicative if any issues come up.

Highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and communicative!”


About: I am a CPR certified pet sitter who loves animals and loves to care for things. I have no pets of my own because I travel often for my full-time job . However. , I look forward to building a trust worthy, healthy relationship with you and your animal family. I currently work from home full-time so I have flexible hours. I do travel often for work so the further out I know for overnight days is the better. I also am available to walk dogs daily. I live alone and a very nice neighborhood full of lots of trees and families. I keep a very neat and nice home free of anything that could harm animals.
About: I have volunteered at animal shelters since I was 10 years old, and am comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages! Additionally, I have seven years of experience pet/house sitting, including overnight. In the past few years, I have specialized in caring for puppies, and have experience with bottle feeding. I also had the unique opportunity to work with a coalition that supported people experiencing domestic violence by connecting their pets with fosters while they stayed in shelters (which normally do not allow animals.) I am currently a grad student at the University of Chicago, and have quite a bit of flexibility in my schedule! Whether you would like me to stay at your home full-time while you are away, or just need me to stop by for periodic visits, walks, or play-time, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! I am available both during the week and on the weekends, and can't wait to spend them hanging out with your cats and dogs! I am very comfortable walking dogs of all sizes, and am happy to take them outside to play as well! If your pet has any medication, I can make sure they take them. I will make sure that dogs have plenty of potty breaks, and that all animals are fed on time. If I am staying in your home, I will be respectful of any boundaries you have and will leave the place just as you left it.
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.
