“Juilia was great. She was very responsive and did a lot of activities with Nico to ease him into a new environment. I would absolutely leave my dog with her again.”

“This was our first time working with a sitter, and Susan gave Gus the exercise, attention, and comfortable space he needed while I was away. Although at first when I left, Gus settled in, got in some walks with Susan, and overall did well -- and came home happy and calm - a testament to Susan's care. Thank you!”
“Megan was absolutely amazing!! She took such good care of Harrison, was communicative, and sent updates constantly! I cannot speak highly enough of her services :)”

“Osito’s stay was excellent as usual!! Abigail and Christopher are so attentive and communicative. Getting photos and updates from them while we’re away is the best part of each day! Plus I’m pretty sure our dog has a new best friend in Olive! 🥰”

“Lavinia was very sweet and communicative with us about her visits!! She sent a lot of pictures of our kitty cat, which is great for me because I get anxious being away from him. He is a very skittish and shy baby, so the fact that he was willing to come out and interact with her for a bit says a lot about who she is as a person. I would absolutely ask her to cat sit again!”
“Cierra was so helpful with checking in on our cats while we were out of the country! She sent cute photos and updates and offered to come by more often if we needed. When the cats were low on water she went out of her way to make sure they had more than enough. She was extremely communicative and prompt with everything. We felt safe and comfortable with her - would highly recommend and will plan to use her again!!”
“Amanda was amazing! My cat was dealing with a minor medical issue while I had to travel and Amanda was not only so great with her, but also provided me with detailed and reassuring updates while I was gone. Thank you Amanda!”
“Jenie sent me photos and a report on each visit to let me know how my sweet is doing, it meant a lot to me. It’s not easy being away from pets but it helps to know they are in great hands. Highly recommend her.”
“Nautica is an excellent cat sitter! Felt very confident and comfortable leaving my cats in her care. She provide great updates and pics. Will definitely be contacting her for future bookings. Highly recommend!!”
“Olivia is great! Took care of our two cats multiple times this fall, including a stint when we had construction work ongoing. Took it all in stride and took good care of the monsters. Appreciate it!”
“Madison was nothing short of excellent - warm and friendly, super easy to communicate with, and took great care of our cat while we were out of town. Everything a pet parent could hope for; I highly recommend her services!”
“Dylan was incredible! My two cats were in great hands with dylan, pictures were sent everyday, and I always got a quick review of their activities. Would definitely rebook!”
“Libby was an outstanding kitty sitter for our cat! when we returned from our trip, our cat seemed so happy, and very well taken care of. We definitely would book with Libby again. Thank you so much!!”
“Curtis was so patient with my cat Ruby! I know she can get anxious when I'm not around and he was able to handle all of her big feelings. I definitely recommend Curtis especially if you have a cat who struggles being around new people.”
“We have used Emily many times over the last couple years. Whenever we will be out of town she is the very first person we check with to see if she is available. Not only does she just do the basic tasks but it’s clear she genuinely cares about your pets like they are her own. Can’t recommend enough.”
“Mason was an amazing sitter for Grendel! Grendel is usually apprehensive and very nervous in new environments, to the point where she won’t eat much in the first days. Mason helped Grendel feel comfortable very quickly, which I could tell from the pictures and from texts that they sent me about how she was behaving and eating all her meals and treats. Mason was very kind in not only ensuring Grendel was feeling happy and safe, but also in setting my mind at ease, as I always have a lot of separation anxiety in being away from Grendel. Grendel, on the other hand, seemed reluctant to leave when my partner and I came to pick her up and kept looking back towards Mason’s apartment and meowing as we were driving away. She definitely enjoyed being there, and we’ll absolutely ask Mason to take care of her again! Thank you so much!!”
“I consistently book with Bao because they are so caring and kind with my anxious kitty! They're the first person Pepper has come out for besides her dads. Bao is patient with her and stays to hang out with her, which I think helped greatly in Pepper getting comfortable with them. Anyone that my cat trusts, I trust!”
“Emma is fantastic! She was so patient with my ornery kitty. And she didn't give up when she had to give him transdermal medication! I can't tell you how much that means to me. I will definitely book her again!”
“Tali is the best! I have a challenging cat and it takes someone special to get along with her. Tali met my cat and had her eating treats out of her hands in minutes. She is extremely perceptive and knows when to give space. She also knows when to engage and make connections. My cat had never made a connection this fast in the 7 years I’ve had her. Trust Tali! She’s the best.”
“Wow, Kayla sends slots of images and a very detailed report of the activities and observations during the visit! I felt very confident that Oskar was well cared for. The day after we returned, Oskar waited at the door, hoping Kayla would come and play!”
“Thanks again, Jamie! We really appreciate how caring and empathetic you are toward our two elderly cats. We miss them when we’re away, but knowing you’re here means we don’t have to worry about them.”
“Mia is absolutely wonderful to my kitty Lulu! Lulu is a shy girl and Mia is very kind and patient when she cares for Lulu on her visits. I always return home to a happy and safe kitty! ❤️”

About: I grew up around dogs and have always had a love for caring for them. While I haven’t been able to have a dog of my own due to occasional travel for work and family, Rover has been the perfect way for me to stay connected to what I love most (caring for pets). I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising and training my family’s cockapoo in obedience and showing her at the county fair for several years. I’ve also dog sat for friends, family, and neighbors, including sweet senior dogs who need a little extra attention. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure each pup feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making their day a little brighter. ⭐️ Unfortunately, I’m only able to board and do doggy day care for low-shedding/hypoallergenic dogs due to allergies in the home. ⭐️ I work fully remote, which means I’m home and available throughout the day to give your furry friend lots of walks, attention, and the love they deserve! 🤗 I prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort by following their established routines. Whether in my home or the client’s home, I ensure pets are supervised and cared for how YOU request.
“I found Rebecca last minute on Rover and truly couldn’t have had a better experience. She was so kind and communicative even before we met, and was willing to care for Luna with little notice. From the moment I dropped her off, she kept me updated throughout the day with the cutest pictures, which meant so much. I was pretty anxious leaving Luna with someone new, but Rebecca completely put my mind at ease. I knew Luna was in excellent hands the entire time. Highly recommend 🤍”
“Laura is absolutely amazing! She’s so friendly and welcoming, and my partner and I instantly felt comfortable leaving our dog with her. She invited us into her home, and our pup was immediately curious and happy to be there. Laura took the time to explain how she cares for dogs and kept us updated throughout the day, which we really appreciated. When we picked him up, he was tired and happy—a sure sign he had an awesome time! We can’t recommend Laura enough.”
“John & Ryan took wonderful care of my dog Newton! They sent a cute photo update and were very flexible with pick up and drop off times. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have 5 years of experience and I have loved taking care of dogs, cats and other pets. I am versed in basic training techniques and love to spend my time enriching pet's lives. I currently have a small dog that is spayed and very friendly with people, other dogs, and cats. I work from home so I’m pretty flexible and able to provide loving care and attention to your pets. My husband is very supportive too and grew up around dogs from a young age. We live close to a wonderful dog park, a lot of green spaces, and the Montrose Dog Beach. Working remotely so I have a pretty flexible schedule and routine. I am looking to take advantage of my current flexibility by doing what I love, making pets happy. My small dog goes out 3-4 times a day and loves to go on runs, and I can provide high energy dogs the exercise and play they need. My husband works part time and also loves to help take care of pets in our home. I am studying to be a counselor and really care about proving a safe space to people and pets. I am detail-oriented and used to effectively adhering to the owner's guidelines. I'm also a strong believer in regular updates including several photos. I know how to adapt to the dog's unique needs, like extra care, avoiding possible triggers, or providing extra attention and medication.
“David was a great dog sitter! He took really good care of Toni, and you can tell he genuinely loves dogs. Toni felt comfortable with him right away, and they became friends so quickly 😊 I’d definitely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring!”
“Zev loves his daycare with Natalia and her fur-daughter Bella. She sends lots of updates and pictures with tails high and wagging. Now on walks, Zev is always pulling towards Natalia's house. Thank you Natalia for always being flexible and responsive!”

“Cierra was amazing with our dog! She was punctual and flexible with scheduling but most importantly she was incredibly sweet and caring with our dog. She took the time to send pictures and personalized messages. I will absolutely be booking with her in the future 10/10 recommend!!”
“Dylan had been awesome with Ellie. He’s very patient and loving to her. Plus he’s been super flexible with our schedule. We are glad we found him and definitely recommend to anyone!”
“Ryan was absolutely fantastic to work with. He was very detailed on how his and Luna's walks went. He was very attentive to her and made sure she had plenty of play time and pets. I will definitely be booking walks with him in the future”
“Kiefer saved the day! Last minute late at night I requested a dog walker for the next day and he accepted. He was responsive, flexible, and listened to my requests. I greatly appreciated the photos and kind comment after the walk. Walking my 3 boys could be a handful and Kiefer ensured the boys enjoyed their walk! I’ve found my new walker! :)”
About: I’m a lifelong dog owner and a lifelong dog lover! My very first dog was a shihtzu who lived until she was 17. I have as much experience with the running around and keeping up with a pup as I do slowing down and meeting their needs. As my sweet girl crossed the rainbow bridge, I learned a lot about how to accommodate senior dogs and how to navigate their care. My family adopted a Burmese mountain doodle as well, so i’ve definitely got some experience on BOTH sides of the size spectrum. 😂 I’m familiar with the finicky nature of yorkies, the bold yet gentle nature of goldens, and the sassiness of corgis. I know every dog has their quirks, and discovering and working with them is one of the joys of being alive. Since my family raised all of our dogs from puppies, im very comfortable looking after younger dogs. I am very active so I can help get your pups energy out! We can run and fetch and make sure you have a peaceful home when you get off from work! I can also trot along with our older dogs and make sure they’re getting their medication, etc. I can also cook their food as i’m experienced with homemade food for pets. Care is one of my biggest traits so being able to extend that to your four legged loved ones would come next to nothing for me. There are very many paw prints on my heart and I hope maybe your dog can leave one too :) ps- you’ll always get super cute candid pictures of your dog from me too! and maybe even a doodle :D I have open availability. My schedule can revolve around what’s necessary. I’m an artist so since I make my own schedule, there are no interruptions. I live in a very dog friendly apartment building. We have a dog wash area downstairs- pet friendly. There are a handful of big open fields near my building and plenty of walking paths! I have routes picked out for dogs who need super long walks to get all that energy out; and shorter routes for our older friends who need to just go potty and right back inside. I am 8 minutes from Puptown dog park, so friendly dogs get to have a great time here. Cuddly quiet dogs who have attachment issues as well as avoidant buddies have plenty of space in the apartment to cozy up or- hold their own space! I have open availability constantly so your pup is never left unattended for long.
“Madison was great!! Really loved that she gave Calvin space to get comfortable with her and handled him great during walks. Calvin really liked her, even though it is difficult for him to trust new people, he was happy to see her after meeting once. Very excited for future bookings :)”
“Mariah did everything right when it came to my extremely fearful dog Pepper. She came for a meet and greet before the walk to learn a little bit about her/how to handle her and I really appreciated it. I got updates throughout, and a great report after. Wil definitely book Mariah for future walks!”
About: Hi!! I’m Allene — your pet’s new best friend (and your peace of mind while you’re away). I’ve been pet sitting for years and have experience volunteering at a pet boarding facility, plus I’m an active volunteer with PAWS Chicago — so I’m very used to all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and main character pet energy! I also have a lab/border collie named Kuzma, so I fully understand the chaos, the energy, and the unconditional love that comes with it. I love to travel, so I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you actually trust (not just someone who shows up, feeds them, and dips). I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and honestly… a little spoiled. Expect lots of updates, pics, and me treating your pet like they’re my own I currently work from home full-time, which gives me a lot of flexibility for pet care. I’m available during lunch hours on weekdays and have full availability on weekends. This allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I’m great at sticking to routines and making sure your pet’s schedule stays consistent and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I care for pets in their own home, I make sure to respect your space while keeping your pet in a familiar, low-stress environment. I’m very attentive, follow all care instructions closely, and keep you updated so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make you feel confident and your pet feel completely at ease!
“Patrick did a great job walking Killer for 2 afternoons. He stepped up at the last minute to help us out of an unexpected jam, and we really appreciate it. Patrick is pleasant, funny and easy going. Killer felt comfortable immediately upon meeting. We will ask Patrick for help next time we meed a walker.”
“Whitney was absolutely amazing! She was flexible to my changing schedules and she is always available to help out with your fur baby. My dog Fiona enjoyed her walks with Whitney and I got wonderful report cards with pictures of their walk. From Fiona’s reaction to see Whitney, I could tell that she has a very loving heart towards your pet. Whitney is extremely reliable and a wonderful person. I highly recommend her. Thanks Whitney from Fiona and me! ?”
“Great communication and friendly, last minute scheduled due to being under the weather and Madeline pulled through for me and Nal. Will book again and recommend to anyone :)”
“Walks with Koemi were the highlight of Rosie’s week! She was always excited to go and calm and happy after. She helped us get back on track with walk reactivity because she’s way more disciplined at training than we are day to day but it was the extra push we needed to get back on track! Thank you for everything!! (Definitely reach out especially if you have a pittie!)”
“Darisbeth is absolutely wonderful!! Takes excellent care of my baby Milo on their walks. Always sends updates and photos along their walks and Milo always seems very happy! She is very communicative and overall has been a wonderful experience having her walk him”
“Jena is great. She handled our dog Darby in such an expert and gentle way. Darby clearly felt comfortable with her. She inspired confidence and communicated well. We will definitely wish to have her walk Darby again.”

Charise kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took Zoe on walks, car rides, and let her play in the yard with her sweet dog Navi. You could tell Zoe was getting lots of attention and love the entire time. We also really appreciated that Charise dropped Zoe off at home for us. Highly recommend Charise if you are looking for someone caring, reliable, and attentive to watch your fur baby!”
“Brian took great care of our puppy, and we will definitely be going back to him again next time we need a sitter. He sent lots of pictures and updates without us having to check in, so we always knew how she was doing. He was very loving to her and we knew she was getting lots of attention. We never worried about her. Thanks Brian!!”
