“I’m so grateful I found Julia! She is so reliable, kept me updated, sent lots of photos and really gave me peace of mind when watching my fur baby! I’m absolutely booking her again for anytime. I need a puppysitter!”
“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.”
“It was so great to have our pup stay with Chad for the second time! Chad is so easy to communicate with and clearly takes such good care of our boy - all the love and play time for him we could hope for while we’re away! We will definitely look to rely on Chad and his wife as our regular pup sitters whenever possible!”
“Diana and Scott did a great job watching our dog Chalupa. They sat her for a week, and it was clear Chalupa was well cared for and got lots of attention. Would definitely recommend Diana and Scott to others!”
“Angel took good care of Ivy for a couple nights and sent lots of updates. He was also very flexible and was even willing to drop her off at my place since I wasn’t available to pick her up.”
“Ksenia took fantastic care of our dog Alfie! She was super attentive to him and sent us lots of updates during his stay. He also got along really well with her pup! Would definitely board Ksenia again!”
“Katie and Java did a good job sending photos and updates. Katie is pleasant to work with and was flexible in allowing me to pick up my dog a day early. Thank you Katie !”
“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.”
“Nathan was extremely easy to work with. He adapted to changes very well and I appreciated the extra effort he made for us to meet with the dogs in our local dog park before he watched Bruce. Would definitely recommend”
“Yahret and her family showed Diesel a great time while I was away. They treated him like he was their family dog and gave him plenty of attention. I'd recommend Yahret to anyone with a dog who needs a caring person to watch them during a trip.”
“Roman was Charise’s first ever Rover dog and we were really happy to have connected with her for our 5-day trip. Charise was a great sitter—she sent detailed updates about how Roman was doing with Navi and hope he was settling in while we were away. Her home is very clean and Charise is a very warm and welcoming host. Navi is just the cutest little nugget ever, and I could tell immediately Roman would feel right at home with Charise. Our big GSD is a big baby and throws a bit of a fit every time we leave, but Charise and Navi were patient with him while he warmed up to the idea of us being away—by the time we returned, he was fully integrated into their little family. Roman is allowed on the couch and bed for cuddles, and Charise has a full basement for the dogs to run around and play, a small yard, and she takes them together on long walks. Roman came home fully pooped from a week of playing with Navi and we’ll definitely be using Charise in the future!”
“Peter was very communicative throughout Manjus visit. Manju came back a happy but tired puppy. Peter was also flexible when I needed an extra day for Manju to stay, which was really nice. It was also nice to see Manju interacting with another dog.”
“Bear was so well taken care of with Maria! She sends pictures and videos everyday and accommodates all his special needs. I even last minute had to extend my boarding and she was able to do so with no issue. I know Bear is in good hands whenever he’s with Maria!”
“Ania did a great job taking care of Dalí. He is very shy and needs time adjusting to new people. She was very gentle with him, and even took him on a couple of walks leading up to our reservation to make sure he was comfortable with her. Ania was responsive, accommodated Dalí’s needs, and sent pictures/video updates. I have already booked another boarding reservation with her.”
“We were nervous leaving Sonny with anyone besides our parents for the first time, but quickly knew he was in good hands with Christine. She sent several photo updates each day showing Sonny on walks, getting potty breaks, cuddling on the couch, and playing with toys or Christine’s dog Brisa (his new BFF). We are grateful to know that Sonny has a wonderful, loving home to stay in again with Christine next time we need it.”
“Jenna was so kind and responsive! I could clearly tell in my pup’s behavior that he felt safe and comfortable with her which was a huge win for us as he often anxious! I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Lisa is the best! Our travels are so much less stressful because we know our boys are in good hands with her (and her daughter)! Would highly recommend working with Lisa!”

“Aaron was a great support for my two cats. We had to leave town suddenly in less than ideal circumstances: the two cats had not been fully introduced. He was able to spend time with both cats while navigating their separation. I also appreciated that he was very kind and communicative. I would recommend and repeat myself.”
“Ariel was fantastic and took great care of my cat while I was out of town! Grateful for the many pictures and updates she provided & great communication throughout the process. I highly recommend her for anyone needing a dependable and caring pet sitter!”
“Caline is amazing! We have been repeat customers with her because she is so good with our cat Maggie! She always makes us feel comfortable to leave Maggie with her when we leave. Would highly recommend !”
“Allison took care of my cats again during a short weekend trip. I was happy to see the updates and photos she sent. Both of my cats were happy and healthy when I came home. I would recommend her to anyone needing someone trustworthy to watch their beloved pets!”
“Megan was very thorough and responsive! She was very patient with my shy cats and even did some extra vacuuming of the litter they love to kick out of their boxes. Thanks, Megan!!”
“I would highly recommend Talia for cat sitting! She was communicative, timely, clean and the kitties seemed to love her :) she took great care of my 2 cats and provided cute updates and photos. When I came home she had kept their area tidy and they seemed happy!”
“Alexis is a great sitter. She spent several days taking care of our two cats while we were on vacation. The cats were well looked after, enjoyed their time with Alexis, and her timely communication left us at ease while we were away. We definitely plan on using her again in the future.”
“Again, Robert was awesome to work with! He’s timely, communicative, and self sufficient. It’s really nice to not be worried about the cats while traveling, and Robert gives us that peace of mind!”
“Halley was wonderful! We have a very shy, scared kitty and Halley was very gentle with her, even coaxing her out from the bed, which never happens! I would gladly book Halley again.”
“Cris is wonderful - she is extremely reliable and attentive to details. She cared for our cat daily while we were out of town for two weeks and she also took great care of our house, bringing in the mail and taking out the trash. She provided thorough daily updates of our cat with many pictures. Her love of animals is evident in the care she gives! We are relieved to have found someone we trust to count on to take good care of our cat in the future!”
“Dom is the best! She house sat and watched our two cats while we were on vacation for four days and did an amazing job with both of them. She was willing to meet up beforehand to get to know us and the cats. Our older cat gets very anxious when we leave but from the daily update pictures Dom sent we could tell he was very comfortable with her. Dom followed all our care instructions and made sure our cats were well fed, played with, and comfortable — would definitely work with her again!”
“I had such a great experience with Adriana. She took the time to get on a video call with me before the visits to make sure she knew what I wanted and asked questions, which made me feel very comfortable before I even went out of town. She truly cares about animals and took wonderful care of my babies. She cleaned the litter box daily, cleaned the water fountain when she noticed it was collecting too much hair. She even offered to get my mail and water plants!”
“We have used Jacey multiple times. She is incredibly communicative and has gone above and beyond to fix things like water/ litter that were not required of her. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“A loving home away from home for our dog! we really appreciate how understanding Sara and Jose are of our anxious old girl 😅 They're very kind and flexible, and we can tell they take great care of her. Thanks Sara and Jose!!”
“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.”
“Nathan was amazing! He was incredibly responsive and kept us updated throughout our dog’s stay, which made the whole experience completely stress-free. Our girl was clearly well cared for and happy. We truly appreciate his professionalism and kindness. We will definitely recommend his services!”
“Nicole took such good care of our pup! She's got a fun energy and a very thorough approach for any dog that enters her home. I got plenty of updates on how he was doing throughout the visit, knowing he'd be happy and tired when he came home. We're excited to be regulars!”
“John provided such a great daycare for our dog Moose. Moose got to play with John’s adorable dog, go on walks and get out his energy and we got to enjoy pics from John! He was also super communicative and accommodated our rather challenging drop off schedule (it was early!) John will absolutely be my first call the next time we need daycare!”
“Carly takes wonderful care of our puppy Betty! She is attentive, communicative and we can tell Betty is comfortable there. Her dogs are also so friendly and fun for Betty to play with! We are excited to book again.”
“Maria seemed like a great sitter for Bambi!! We only left Bambi with her for about 10hrs during a long day we had, but in that time all seemed well! Maria sent us pictures of Bambi playing and looking happy which was reassuring. Maria was also really flexible with our drop off time and pick up time which I really appreciated as our day was really in flux and we ended up picking her up later than expected. Bambi seems super tired since we got back. Thank you Maria!!!”
“Rachel has done a fantastic job taking care of our dog Piper. She is great at making Piper feel comfortable (she’s an anxious girl!) She sends frequent updates and photos so we know Piper is happy and doing well. Rachel was also great at giving our girl her meds and she doubled checked something we forgot to even mention. Bonus: Rachel has a sweet chihuahua named Joey who has been so good at giving Piper space but being open to play too. Also, she has a good yard space which is a huge plus. We would recommend Rachel for sure!”
“Kevin has been watching my dog Ozzie on a consistent basis for many months now—he is very responsive and reliable, will definitely book again and recommend to friends!”
“Couldn’t have asked for better! Samantha was kind, communicative, knowledgeable and fantastic with Zeke. Provided plenty of surety before hand that she was well prepared and well equipped to care for Zeke. Updated with pictures throughout the day. The type of person you want to take care of your pet!”
“Cara is fantastic! We highly recommend her as a dog sitter. Our Luna absolutely adores her and is so happy when she realizes we are heading over to Cara’s house for the day. Cara is loving, caring, and very attentive. She makes Luna one happy pup!”
“Sani is the best! Our dog was so excited to spend time with her, she sends the best pictures, and is always very accommodating. Our dog always returns home so tired and happy which is all we could ask for.”
“Iwona is the best! Our dog went to Iwona's every week for the first 2 years of her life. We are moving out of state and we will all dearly miss our dog's weekly stay at Iwona's. She loves and cares for our dog as if she was her own. Our dog is shy and can be reserved but she lights up and wags her little tail like crazy when she sees Iwona. It can be scary to leave your beloved pup with a stranger that first time, but with Iwona, she's not a stranger...she's become a member of our community.”
“Blaire did a wonderful job taking care of my pup! Her dog and mine got along great! My dog had the best time and came home super happy! I received frequent updates and pictures which was so great to have!”
“Ashley was great! Kept me updated throughout the day with pictures too! Took leo on several walks & to the dog park through the day. Leo had the best day & even made a new best friend. Will definitely be using her often!”
“Ruben was fantastic with communication and care of our dogs. Thank you so much for caring for our babies as a part of your family and for the updates throughout the day. We will be rebooking for future use as the need arises. :)”

About: Hello! I'm Kaleigh, a passionate animal lover with 6 years of experience caring for pets. I understand that your furry family members are important, and I'm committed to providing them with the same love and attention they receive at home. I'm reliable, responsible, and dedicated to ensuring your pet's safety and happiness. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and any other specific care your pet may need. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I've structured my days to prioritize pet care. I believe in consistent routines for animals, so I create a schedule that includes regular feeding times, exercise, and playtime. I'm also very adaptable and can easily adjust my routine to meet the specific needs of each pet. Whether it's administering medication or providing extra cuddles, I'm committed to providing attentive and reliable care. During drop-in visits, I focus on providing essential care, including feeding, watering, and bathroom breaks. I also dedicate time to playtime and interaction to ensure the pet's comfort and happiness. I meticulously follow any medication schedules and provide detailed updates to the owner.
“Sarah is great!! My dog warmed right up to her and we both feel comfortable with her. I feel like I can trust her and she’s been easy to communicate with. So grateful to have found her!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’m comfortable caring for pets across the entire energy spectrum, from independent shy cats to high-energy athletic dogs. I currently have two cats of my own, so I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. One of my cats is shy and requires daily medication, so I’m experienced with administering medications and helping nervous pets feel comfortable and safe. My other cat is incredibly social, food-motivated, and always ready to remind me exactly when dinner should be served, so I’m no stranger to pets who know what they want! I also grew up with two Vizslas, which taught me just how much exercise, attention, patience, and consistency active dogs need. Whether your pet is looking for a playmate, a walking buddy, extra cuddles, or simply someone reliable to stick to their routine, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I treat every animal as if they were my own, and while I absolutely adore my cats, I’m always excited for an opportunity to get my dog fix, too. I’d love to meet your pets and help make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I have a 9-5 but I can work remotely whenever I’d like and I can step away during the day to take care of your pets. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine, providing attentive care, administering medications if needed, and treating your home with the same respect and care as my own.
About: I am attentive, empathetic, and patient. I pride myself on respecting fur friend’s boundaries so I have been taking time to learn about important body language cues. Additionally, I love making homemade treats for animals (don’t worry i’ll always double check for allergies or dietary restrictions before giving anything to your pet). Most importantly, I treat all animals in my care as if they are my own and take the responsibility of their care seriously so that you can have peace of mind while you are away :) Most of my days consist of coding lessons, crafting, reading, watching a relaxing show, going for leisure walks and/or doing somatic exercises to destress. Outside of these activities, I enjoy spending time with my friends in the city. Though most of the times this happens on the weekends. So don’t worry i’ll be available for good chunks of time to care for your pet. And if I ever need to step out, I’ll always make sure to communicate ahead of time and try not to be away for more than 3-4 hours. I start with building trust with the fur friend, which usually just looks like allowing them to sniff my hand and over time bonding through play and care. Ideally when pet sitting I follow my clients schedule which means feeding and walking at designated times. If there is not a designated schedule then days will usually look like this, Breakfast at 8am, Cool down time post breakfast until 9am (unless pups need to be let out immediately after to go potty), Walking between 9-10, 10-1 break time with snacks or playtime or a mixture of me playing with the pups and doing work, 1-2 potty break and walk time, 2-5 break time for the pups and more work for me, 5-6 dinner and cool down time, and finally between 7-10 the final walk of the day. I also ensure that I maintain a clean space. I can also now say that I am pretty well versed in giving oral medications to animals, though of course if there is anything additional I should know feel free to tell me!
About: Hi! My name is Christy. I’ve been around animals ever since I was a kid. My family always had 4 German shepards or cats at all times. I’m very fond of animals and can usually get along with any kind pretty quickly. I'm new to the Chicago area! I'm looking to restart petsitting before I start full-time employment. Currently, I have pretty open availability on weekdays and weekends alike. I can spend time with your fur baby either inside or outdoors, whichever is your preference. I have two cats of my own so I'd prefer not to bring any animals into my own home.
“This is the first time we've hired a dog walker for Rambo, so I was a bit anxious. I asked isaac to walk him 3 times during a day that we were going to be gone. He came to the house a couple of weeks before to meet Rambo and do a test run around the block. The day we were gone he arrived exactly on time and took Rambo on walks that were even longer than we take him on. He also played with him and sent us photos. All in all a good experience and I would hire Isaac again.”
“Alexis is the best dog walker you could ask for! Kind, considerate and timely. She goes above and beyond. Don’t look anywhere else for the best dog walker in Chicago!”
“Lora was great and Apollo loved her! She met Apollo for a meet and greet to make sure he was comfortable, followed all walking instructions, and provided pictures/updates about how he did. Would definitely use her again!”
“Mara is kind, caring, and patient with my pup, Harriet. Because Harriet is shy and new to the city, Mara takes her time with her and makes her feel comfortable. Even after one week, Harriet is has come out of her shell and is excited each time Mara arrives. I trust her with Harriet and would recommend her to everyone.”
“Greysee was great! She helped me out when I got called into work and responded quickly. She was able to walk Pepper the day of with super short notice. She also took the time to feed her and take her on another quick post lunch walk. Fun pictures and all that good stuff included. Thanks again!”

“Roman was Charise’s first ever Rover dog and we were really happy to have connected with her for our 5-day trip. Charise was a great sitter—she sent detailed updates about how Roman was doing with Navi and hope he was settling in while we were away. Her home is very clean and Charise is a very warm and welcoming host. Navi is just the cutest little nugget ever, and I could tell immediately Roman would feel right at home with Charise. Our big GSD is a big baby and throws a bit of a fit every time we leave, but Charise and Navi were patient with him while he warmed up to the idea of us being away—by the time we returned, he was fully integrated into their little family. Roman is allowed on the couch and bed for cuddles, and Charise has a full basement for the dogs to run around and play, a small yard, and she takes them together on long walks. Roman came home fully pooped from a week of playing with Navi and we’ll definitely be using Charise in the future!”
