“Sassy had such an amazing time with Michael and Joanna. They really made her feel at home. They have the perfect setup to take care of your pets with all of the essentials and more! Sassy was able to make new friends and receive all the love and attention she desires. They made sure to keep me up to date by sending daily pics and videos. If you are looking for a safe, reliable, and fun environment for your dog, be sure to book with them. They are true pet professionals that provide the support and care needed for your animals. And they even made a cute collar and bandana for Sassy that she loves! I will definitely bring Sassy back whenever I need a sitter.”

“Monica and Calvin were such excellent hosts for our shy Zuko! We appreciated the timely and detailed updates and our dog got along great with wonderful Parker. We would highly recommend and would book again!”
“Timothy was a wonderful sitter ! He shared updates and photos regularly and gave my dog extra food because I didn’t pack enough. He was also very gracious to let me extend my booking on short notice due to travel delays. Highly recommend Timothy and hope we can book with him again !”
“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 !”
“Fortino was amazing! My dog is pretty high energy and I could tell he was having a great time. Fortino sent regular updates and he took my dog on lots of fun excursions with his own dog. He was very communicative and I could tell he paid close attention to details of my dog’s comfort, personality, etc. He even gave my dog a sweater that previously belonged to his dog but was too small, which was very sweet. Will definitely board with him again.”
“Kept me informed the whole trip after taking Anubis on such short notice. He was happy and almost seemed like he didn’t want to leave. He also came back to me with a gift, a homemade bandana with his name on it. 10/10 service, will recommend and use again!”

“After a quick move to out of state move to Chicago with a vacation already planned, we had to scramble to find somewhere for our dogs go. Our dogs stayed with Ashley for a full week and it was such a relief to know they were well taken care of. We received frequent pictures and updates during the week. One of our dogs is having a hard time adjusting to city life and Ashley was very accommodating and gracious with her. We will definitely be reaching out to Ashley again in the future!”
“Dayana was so flexible with me my flight got canceled last minute and I was late to pick them up due to traffic and she was willing to wait for me. She provided me with constant videos and feedback and my puppies looked like they had a blast and were well taken care of. Would book with her again!”
“Michelle was very professional despite my dog going through pretty heavy separation anxiety from me. Sadly I will not be using her again because I think my dog needs to be with more of a pack, but would recommend her to anyone who's looking for around the clock care of their precious furbaby. She was flexible, communicative and very polite.”
“Iwona is my go to sitter for my Golden Retriever! My dog absolutely loves her and runs to her house when I drop her off. Iwona goes above and beyond with the service she provides - she has offered to pick up my dog rather than me having to drop off and she has always been extremely flexible with timing of the pick up. Best sitter!”
“Diana and Scott are the absolute best! I'm usually anxious when leaving Scout behind while we're away, but they took such great care of her that I'll never be worried if she's with them. They were communicative throughout her stay and shared daily updates/photos. I've actually never seen her get comfortable with new people so quickly (she was handing out belly rubs on day 2 which is not typical for her lol). So thankful to have found them as sitters and hope to keep using them in the future!”
“A+++++!!!! Barbara and Chewy were absolutely incredible hosts!! We can't say enough about how thoughtful, generous, kind, and communicative that Barbara was during our trip. We were very anxious about leaving our dog (this was our first time using Rover), and she put us at ease, sent frequent updates (including pictures and videos), and was extremely thorough, dedicated, and friendly, and followed our care instructions extremely seriously. Her dog Chewy is a sweetheart who seems to be great as a co-host :) We absolutely recommend Barbara to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter, and we are so grateful to her for this experience!”
“Julia was great! I had to book a rover last minute. Julia saved the day. We managed to get a meet up scheduled prior to Kiki’s stay. Kiki got a five star treatment. Plenty of communication. I felt like Kiki enjoyed her stay away from home just as much I enjoyed getting a short 3 day vacay. I will definitely book Julia again. Great location. I felt safe leaving her with Julia and I know Kiki enjoyed herself.”
“Jennifer is excellent!! Total lifesaver taking my dog at the last minute for several days while I was out of town. I loved the videos and pics!! So nice to know our dog was having as much fun as we were 😊😊😊”
“Watched our very young puppy for a night and was amazing, very communicative, and flexible. The puppy seemed to have a great time with him and the resident dogs, and he sent tons of photos.”
“Ania watched our dog Elliot for a weekend. During this time she was communicative and provided us with lots of pictures! He got comfortable fast with her and came back to us a happy dog!”

But Yesenia was in communication, sent lots of photos, and obviously cared about my cats and their comfort. She contributed to a great trip for me and I am so grateful. I really recommend her.”

“Christine took great care of the cats while I was out of town for a week, and made sure Gravy got all of his meds every day. She is a very caring and patient pet sitter! Thank you so much”
About: From a young age, I've had a special bond with dogs. My parents took in neighborhood samoyeds and newfoundlands that had been abandoned by their owners. I grew up with them, trained them, did my best to make sure their home was loving. Since my neighbors knew I was good with large dogs, I frequently dog sat for them. I quickly became an expert in leash technique, engaging play, making sure they were fed right, and just plain being there for them. I don't have any dogs right now (my apartment is way too small) but I know I'll meet that special fluffy guy when I get a bigger place. I'm available nearly all the time, as I'm not currently working and am only doing occasional volunteering in the Bitter Lake/Greenwood/Shoreline area. I have the availability of a tireless assistant! I believe in respecting a dog's boundries while also being very mindful of their needs. From years of experience I've learned to find the proper balance and give the dog the best experience possible.
About: I have a very shy cat and I’ve take care of her for 4 years. Living with her makes me have experience of taking care of a cat. I know cats can be sensitive to new people. I will leave some spaces and time for them to feel more comfortable and safe.
“Djemanesh did a fantastic job looking after my cats! She was incredibly attentive & always made sure they had more than enough food & water & pets. I could tell in the photos Djemanesh sent that Toast & Nova really enjoyed hanging out with her! Thank you! 10/10 would Djemanesh to watch my kittens again!”

About: I promise I won't overfeed your cat the way five-year-old me overfed mine! I grew up with a dog and a cat in our home at all times. While I mostly took on the play duties with the pets, I began my cat-sitting journey in elementary school watching my neighbors' cats when they were away. Over the past decade and a half, I have dropped in for cat visits, cat sat, and had countless playdates. My favorite thing to do with cats is to sun lounge together and give them lots of rubs. I have cared for up to two animals at a time which I feel most comfortable and confident in! I have no pets in my home, creating a safe space for your cat to make themselves comfortable. I'm not afraid to pull up my sleeves and take care of sh*t (literally!) I loooove taking pictures and will always share pics with your little babies, maybe even a little photo shoot :)
“Amanda was great! She was very flexible when scheduling a meet and greet for our cat, and also very flexible when I decided to change our dates a little bit last minute. She sent me pictures which I very much appreciated and I could tell our Lucy was in good hands! We’ll definitely be using Amanda again in the future for our kitty!”
About: I have owned a dog for a year now and I also have worked at a pet store for almost a year now and love it! I’ve trained my dog since he was 8 weeks old! He’s a biggg leash puller and he also is always excited to meet others! I can say that I have definitely experienced a dog that is a little more difficult to walk therefore I am equipped to handle any dog! I have also dog sat for a wonderful older dog! I currently work part time and I am always available afternoons, and most mornings! My schedule does change sometimes but I 100% am free every Tuesday! I have a 2 bedroom apartment with a large enclosed courtyard outside! I have one sweet dog who is crate trained and sleeps in a crate a night and when I’m away. Since I have a second bedroom that is completely free I can easily place any dog in a different room for their own space and quiet time! We have many toys and a large living room and we play all day!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs (small mostly) since I was 11. I grew up with two chihuahuas and am currently fully in love with my mom’s current weenie dog. I’ve fostered 3 small/medium dogs in the past 2 years and am trusted with my friends and families dogs for walking and sitting. I work from home Mondays and Fridays and am usually home most weekends (unless I’m traveling). I’m able to be home with the dog and take on walks for most of the day. I live less than a block from Harrison Park, so I will be able to take the dog for a walk and some exercise daily. I also happy to lounge on the couch and bed with the dog if they need plenty of company and rest. Dogs are little fur babies to me and they will be the royalty in the home. Be prepared for many pictures.

“I’ve had dogs for 26 years and it’s very clear that Jennifer and her husband are highly experienced dog lovers. My boy came back to me with a very peaceful energy which tells me he was well cared for. Highly recommend them!”
“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.”
“Diamond is an amazing sitter! She truly cares for the dogs she looks after and keeps you at ease with regular updates. My Leo came back home so tired and happy-which says everything, and he honestly didn’t even want to leave her place! Her dogs are wonderful as well and got along perfectly with mine, which made the whole experience even better. Diamond is reliable, punctual, and clearly passionate about what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.”
“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! :)”
“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.

“Yasmine was wonderful with my very energetic dog. Her own dog is well-behaved and serves as a great role model for other dogs. When my dog came home, he was happy, tired, and completely content, a clear sign that he had a fantastic time. She lives close to a large dog park where dogs can run, play, and burn off their energy while having the time of their lives. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with Yasmine and plan to do so regularly. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter and excellent company for their dog.”
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!
“Very communicative and caring with my two dogs, which is no easy feat given that one is a puppy and the other a giant. Would highly recommend and will no doubt use again.”

I’m currently in summer break from college and I been spending time with my dog and making sure he goes outside and I also have time to make appointments for him such as vet visits or showers. In my house we have a gate and we always the gate close so my dog doesn’t get out. I also have the a/c running most of the time so my dog could chill as summer is coming around the corner. I always make sure he has food and water.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13, mainly my own, but I’ve also taken care of friend’s and family friend’s dogs in these past 3 years, so I understand the anxiety or fear of leaving a part of your family in the care of someone that isn’t you and won’t treat your pet like you will. That’s why I always adjust and accommodate my services to every pet’s needs. When it comes to basic care of pets, I always take puppies and dogs on walks at whichever time of day that they need to go out, always making sure to bring snacks and water so they always stay hydrated and healthy. I make sure they have enough playtime inside and outside so they don’t get bored and are entertained. I understand that not every dog wants to play or can’t move too much, so I of course adjust these activities to accommodate every pet’s individual needs so they’re always comfortable and happy. I also have experience with senior care, specifically giving dogs the medicines they need at the intended hours of the day or night. It goes without saying that my main priority are the pets in my care so I also make sure to always check up on every pet at different hours and times, rarely leaving them out of my sight (while also keeping my distance if they’re resting) to ensure they’re always okay. I work part-time remotely since I finished university in March of 2024. So I have no issues with times and days that will work best for you and your pets! I care for pets in client’s homes by making sure they’re never missing anything, from food, water, toys, time to go to the bathroom, medicines if they take them, etc… I make sure pets understand I’m simply there as an aid for them and someone they can play with if they choose to! I’m simply there to ensure every pet is taken care of while also having time to play and give them their space, after all, it’s their home and they need to feel the most comfortable and safe in their own space.
About: I’ve take care of my friend’s dog while she’s away for traveling. My responsibilities included ensuring frequent and timely potty breaks and managing his high energy levels through structured play and walks. I strictly adhered to his feeding routine and followed all specific care instructions provided by my friend. This experience reinforced my ability to be responsible, attentive, and consistent, confirming my passion for providing reliable care for dogs. I am confident in my skills to adapt to any dog’s individual needs and maintain their comfort and routine while their owners are away. I‘m available before 9 AM in the morning and after 6 PM in the afternoon during weekdays. I’m available during weekends. I’m usually available during holidays because I’m more of a homebody and not traveling very often. I will record and memorize every specific detail and note of caution provided by the client. I treat all these key pieces of information as the main care guideline.
“They’ve been so great and are so helpful for a little pup! They walk her all the time and have really helped us last minute a bunch of times”
“Cristian is great! We needed some help with lunchtime walks 3x a week for a couple months after a foot surgery, and we feel so lucky to have found Cristian. He is super communicative, took great pics every visit, and wrote up thorough notes about our girl. He is super patient with our high energy girl, and would even jog with her on some days to tire her out! We highly recommend Cristian and will definitely be reaching out to him in the future when we need a dogwalker!”

About: Hi! My names Grace! I’ve had dogs me entire life but recently moved to the city for school and I miss my pup so much! I’ve been looking for a job to make some extra money so when I heard about Rover I had to sign up! I’ve had experience with dogs of varying suzes from a minniature Schnauzers, to English Mastiffs. I got one of my dogs when she was 8 weeks old and the other we had until he was 16 so I also have experience with different ages and activity levels and how to cater to that. Due to covid, I’m home all day every day so if I was to sit your dog I’d be able to constantly play with them and take them on frequent walks and bathroom breaks. I also am able to administer any medications needed. I will also accept cats! Please message me if interested! I am home right now full time so I have plenty of time to play with the dogs and take them for walks and many bathroom breaks. I let your animal treat my space as theirs while they’re here they can go where they please including furniture. I’m home for school right now so I will be able to give them lots of attention and love. Working a hybrid job allows me the flexibility to provide attentive and consistent care for the pets I pet sit. Since I spend much of my time at home, I’m able to offer frequent affection, bathroom breaks, and regular walks throughout the day. My pet care services are tailored to each pet’s needs, whether they stay in my home or I care for them in their own familiar environment. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I follow their established routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding at scheduled times, providing fresh water, regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I also offer companionship throughout the day, ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. For overnight stays, I maintain their normal bedtime routine and provide plenty of affection and reassurance. For pets staying in my home, I create a welcoming and stress-free environment that feels like a home away from home. I provide a structured routine with consistent meals, exercise, and enrichment activities. Whether it’s a cozy spot to relax, playtime in a secure space, or extra cuddles, I ensure each pet feels at ease. I also accommodate special requests, such as administering medications or following specific training guidelines. Regardless of location, my goal is to provide attentive, loving care that keeps pets happy, comfortable, and well-cared for while their owners are away.

Will definitely be booking with Samantha again, and I know Hazel will be excited to go back and spend time with her new friends!”

Would definitely recommend booking with Nathan!”

Best sitter!”
