“Can't say enough thanks to Jorge and Lake. After my travel plans unexpectedly changed, they were able to keep my dog an extra night. I truly appreciate their flexibility and love that they embrace my high energy pup!”
“Karla did a great job taking care of our dog, Lucky. We’ve only had Lucky for a few months, and as a rescue from Texas, he has a lot of separation anxiety. Karla was very understanding and made him feel relaxed and at home, while also being patient with all of his little foibles. She sent us lots of pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. She also has a great setup for dogs, including a large long condo with plenty of space for running around. We would definitely recommend Karla to others!”
“Susan was delightful and such a caring friend to Galway. She communicated well and had a natural love for my pup. Her dog Isla is the cutest and makes a wonderful playmate. A great time was had by all!”
“My dog was well taken care of and had a great time with Rico! He was great about sending photos and updates. I was unsure of my exact timing for drop off and pick up and Rico was so kind and flexible with me. Excellent experience and I'd be happy to have Margo stay with him anytime!”
“We had such a wonderful experience, this was our second time leaving Korra with Kim, and once again she was amazing. She took excellent care of Korra, and her communication was great, which gave us complete peace of mind. Kim truly went above and beyond; she even got Korra a Christmas gift, which meant so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

Our dog needed the getaway and he came home very happy. They are great about sending us updates and pictures! Kona loves seeing them.”
“Diane was amazing. I have two small Maltese dogs with separation anxiety, so I was very nervous about leaving them. From the moment we met, she made me feel at ease. She welcomed them into her home and went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable, safe, and confident. It was a wonderful experience, and I could tell my dogs were happy and well cared for. I’m already booking with her again for future stays. Highly recommend!”

His dog is very friendly and made it fun for our dogs to stay with them. We will definitely use Jacob again!”

“Outstanding host for our two fur babies! Anytime we find a sitter as caring and keen to detail as Mia was to our dogs, we cling on! She’s reliable and she goes the extra mile to make sure the dogs are comfortable and well taken care of. This was a last minute booking because their other sitter was unavailable, however, we feel so lucky to have found her, she adores our dogs and it shows in the interaction between them through the daily photos. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Deb and Doug did a wonderful job taking care of our pup (and us)! We have never left her with a non-family member before, and they put everyone at ease with an initial meet and greet. During our trip, they were communicative and sent daily updates and photos letting us know how everything was going.”
“Wonderful experience boarding our pup for the weekend! Makda had great communication and was very flexible around flights. Max had a great time, lots of attention and care. A home away from home ❤️ Can’t thank them enough!”

“Best pet sitter in the area! Aleena treats our cat Bumble with so much gentle affection, as if he is one of her own. We’re lucky to have her as a reoccurring sitter!”
“Ingrid was so great with our cat Binky, and having her coming to the house for drop-in visits while we were away gave us SO much calm and peace of mind! She knew how to interact with our cat and really got to know him on his own terms. She took care of everything while we were away and went above and beyond in ways both big and small. Ingrid was always on time and kept in touch with great updates and photos so we always knew Binky was well taken care of, happy, and content. Thanks so much for all of your help taking care of our precious kitty!!”

“Lucy went above & beyond, per usual. So thankful to have found her to care for my cats while i’m out of town. She’s so good with them and takes the time to give them both adequate attention and play time. She always communicates and really puts my mind at ease while i’m away knowing my babies are in good hands.”

“Shante was completely fantastic as a sitter for our two cats. She was responsive, flexible, professional, and communicative. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“Liz did a great job looking after my 2 cats. She was very reliable and communicative during my week long departure from the city. I had great peace of mind while away knowing she would be there daily to check up on my cats. The daily photos she sent left me reassured that my fur babies were doing ok. She was also quick to respond to texts, which helped further ease my stress. I have 2 very shy cats and she managed to do well with them. I came back and they were both very happy to see me, no issues with either. I would definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a sitter, she’s a total life saver!”
“Kit was incredibly thoughtful and made sure to ask me questions about my pets’ needs that hadn’t even occurred to me to share. She sent lots of pictures and updates on my cats throughout my trip so I knew they were well taken care of. Could not recommend her more!!”
“This was our first time using Rover. We had a great experience. Our cat sitter, Lee, was exceptional. We chose Lee because she seemed focused more on cats rather than dogs. We set up an appointment to meet her. We liked her immediately, and it appeared that our two cats felt the same. We have one cat that is extremely timid, but Mollie actually came out from hiding, rubbed against her, and allowed Lee to pet her. Lee took excellent care of the kitties while we were away for ten days, and we appreciated the daily updates along with photos. When we got home everything was tidy and in order. We will definitely use Rover again and rebook with Lee. We highly recommend her and Rover.”
“Wow! Hayley blew us away with her detailed visits and tons of pictures. Every pet parent knows, it’s the small details that help you feel safe knowing they’re taken care of. My husband and I looked forward to Hayley’s visit summaries each morning, giddy to ooo and aaaw at all of the pictures she sent of our babies. I know they were well loved while we were away. 10/10 experience for our first time using Rover!!”
“Venera is amazing! This is our 3rd time booking with her. She’s so sweet and you can tell how much she cares by her communication but also by the photos she takes of our pets! Both of my cats LOVE when she stops by!”
“Brenda has been very kind and considerate to my cat and her needs! My cat is pretty shy but opens up to Brenda whenever she visits so easily! Very happy knowing my kitter is in good hands when I am out :)”
About: Working in animal medicine, I have met hundreds of cats and understand each one is unique and amazing. Cats are so full of personality, and that’s what makes them so great! I have experience in handling and caring for cats that are shy, grumpy and as cuddly as can be. I am skilled in administering medical care to cats including oral medication- pills and liquids, and injectable medications- IM and SQ. I have also administered subcutaneous fluids. I have had 100 foster animals, most of which being neonatal and orphaned kittens. I have experience taking care of large litters to single kittens. There is nothing like waking up every two hours in the night to bottle feed hungry babies!
“Thomas did an incredible job watching my mischievous kittens. He took their shenanigans in stride like a pro while I was out of town. I could rest assured that they were fed entertained and cared for. I would definitely consider Thomas in the future.”
“Adriana loves cats and it shows as she took great care of our 4 cats while away. She's responsible, sent us pictures of the cats each day, and communicated with us the whole time. She followed a specific feeding routine to a tee (we have 3 cats who all have to be fed separately) and kept them with full water bowls.”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I have worked in an animal shelter and vet clinic as a veterinary assistant caring for a variety of animals. I have had the privilege of fostering 100 animals (mostly neonatal and orphaned kittens!). I currently have three cats and an 18 year old Crested Gecko. Two of my cats are fosters that never left- both have cererbellar hypoplasia, or better known as wobbly cat syndrome! I have pet sat for many kinds of animals including cats, dogs, guinea pigs and reptiles. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Please note: I do not use flexi/retractible leashes to ensure safety. I am happy to bring my own slip lead or standard leash. Please, let me know if you have questions! I work from home and have a flexible schedule! I typically have afternoons and weekends free. I would love to learn more about what your pet’s specific care needs are! I want to hear all about your pet! What do they like, what don’t they like? What are their quirks and preferences? I want to learn about them because I want to make sure I am caring for them the way you would.
“Cheryl is one in a million. I am so thankful that she came into my pups lives. My dogs are not easy to handle, but she was understanding, compassionate, and loving to them since the first day she met them. She is knowledgeable, skilled, extremely reliable and has helped me out more than once in a last minute situation. I cannot recommend her highly enough for any pet that you may have that is special needs or needs attention beyond your average care. She’s an absolute pro.”

“I really enjoyed Georgette as a walker for my dogs. She took the time to meet with me and the dogs for about an hour meet and greet. That was great to get all of the information needed for their care, and the time to discuss any preference we had.”
“I was just saying the same thing over and over again, but if you want trustworthy Dog Walker, who has exceptional communication skills that to mention my dog is madly in love with him and cries when he leaves. This is the person to hire.”
About: Hello! I've enjoyed working with animals for all of my life. I lived in Chicago for 12 years before moving to Japan for the last 5 years. I recently moved back to the Chicago area and am looking forward to helping local pet owners! I recently moved back from Japan. I have time available during the day, evenings and on weekends to provide care for pets. I'm flexible and happy to work around your schedule. I can follow instructions on what care you need for your pet! I am not able to offer care in my own home, but I'm happy to do what it takes to meet your needs.
About: Hi! I’m Sophie, a professional zookeeper with a lifelong passion for animals. 🐾 I currently work as a zookeeper and previously worked in animal rescue, giving me experience caring for a wide variety of species with different needs, personalities, and temperaments. My professional animal-care experience includes medication administration, behavior management, training, enrichment, feeding, and recognizing changes in an animal’s health or behavior. I’m comfortable working with animals who need a little extra patience, structure, or specialized care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, quirky, or needs a little extra attention, I’ll treat them like one of my own. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. ❤️ I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry (or not-so-furry!) family members!

About: I believe that animals aren't just something meant to make our lives better, but that we're meant to do the same for them. These little homies deserve the best we can provide so the love and affection can be mutually beneficial I'm a person with a love of routine, so many things about pet care come easily to me (feeding, walking, cleaning up) but can roll with the punches if things come as a surprise or go awry In either location I'll be attentive and loving. I believe that whatever systems are in place with the owner should stay in place with my like routines and how certain behaviors are addressed

About: Taking care of pets is second hand nature for me! I was raised with a cat and a dog. Currently, I also babysit a 10 month year-old baby boy and a golden retriever so I’m very accustomed to taking care of animals in all aspects. I currently have a part-time job and am a part time student but for the most part, I’m free and great at scheduling. Always feel free to reach out. High-quality pet care requires a reliable environment where safety, routine, and engagement remain top priorities. Experience with animal care ensures that guest pets receive attentive supervision while owners are away. Whether hosting boarding clients or visiting a home for drop, in services, maintaining a secure and familiar schedule is the baseline for every booking.
