“What a wonderful experience this was for my elderly kitty, who was so well cared for. I've never seen her adjust so quickly. Thank you, Phyllis, for taking such good care of my kitty. Definitely recommend!!”
“Shirley is fantastic with both our dog (medium size hound mix) and cat. Our dog gets so excited when she realizes she is going to stay with Shirley. Very responsive and responsible and communicates well with pics every day. We never worry about their wellbeing while in Shirley’s care.”
“Joanna and Mike were amazing! Most of my communication was with Joanna and she’s absolutely epic. Frequent/daily updates about Bella. I would definitely book again and so appreciate how welcome they made Bella feel and even me at drop off. 10/10 would definitely recommend!”
“Angelina was amazing with our senior dog! She watched our dog for four days while we took a quick vacation and Angelina sent fantastic photos throughout the trip. She gave her belly rubs and comforted her through thunderstorms. It was such a relief knowing our dog was comfortable and well cared for while we were away. I will definitely be reaching out to Angelina again for our next vacation!”
“Sarah was excellent! She sent us photos and updates of our dog Gus while we were out of the country for two weeks. She was understanding and able to care for our senior dog with special needs. Would highly recommend!”
“Tamara is amazing! She picked up Luna for us and even dropped her off before we came back from out of town. Luna had an amazing time playing with Tamara dogs. She has a huge backyard for dogs to play and she loves Luna like she is her own. She even left us some treats for Luna. I recommend Tamara for any services with your fur babies.”
“I couldn't be happier with how things went leaving Dolce with Christina and her family. I have boarded my dog at kennels before and have always had some issue when I returned, not this time. I could tell she was happy and felt at home with Christina and her family. Would highly recommend Christina to anyone.”
“Our normal dog boarding fell through last minute and Michelle and Otavio saved teh day a few days before a big week long trip for our family! Our pups were well cared for and seemed so happy upon their return. We got regular and thorough updates on them daily which made our time away more relaxing. We could see how comfortable and at home our dogs were while in their care and would recommend!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a different personality, comfort level, and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I adapt to their needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m dependable, attentive, communicative, and genuinely enjoy being around dogs. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, walks, routines, administering basic medications if needed, and providing updates/photos so you feel at ease while away. My goal is to create a warm, low-stress environment where your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and happy — not just watched. It would truly be an honor to care for your dog and give them the same love and attention every pet deserves. Daily and evening care including walks, feedings, playmate, bath time and bed time with any other activities including the dog park when availabe based on weathe. Pets are free to roam while I am home and crated when I need to run errands. They are treated like the rest of the family.
“We recently moved to Chicago and needed to find a sitter last minute for our dog, Charlie. We’ve had incredible sitters in the past and have really high standards for who we want caring for Charlie. Susseth was so accommodating and responsive from the beginning. We had a meet and greet with her and her dog prior to scheduling the stay. She even offered to do a day care day to make sure everyone got along and that it was a good match. During Charlie’s stay, we received multiple pictures and reports on how things were going. We couldn’t be happier with the experience!”
“So thankful for Kyla & Barbara (her mom) for taking care of Drogo! Drogo’s very happy. They have updates with photos & videos everyday. They are very sweet & accommodating. We even did a video call because our daughter missed Drogo so much! We’ll definitely book them again when we visit the area. ❤️?”
“Eniya was amazing with my dog! She kept me updated with pictures and notes the whole time, and I could tell he felt right at home. He came back happy, tired, and super loved. Definitely booking again!”
“Judith was absolutely WONDERFUL! She was super easy to communicate, flexible, and clearly has a passion for working with and helping dogs. She went above and beyond - I highly recommend her! We will definitely be repeat customers no question.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be more please. Janet was professional and caring for my dog, Cash and treated him like her own. He was very treated very well. Thank you!”
“Michelle and her family took excellent care of my nervous pup. She went above and beyond making him comfortable, giving him lots of walks, and even gave him a bath when he needed it. Would definitely book again!”
“Very happy to have chosen Saraí to take care of Aniza I received photos and videos all the time she has a huge yard where Aniza had a lot of fun playing with other dogs if in doubt I will recover again with Saraí 100% recommended”
“Very nice experience with Jaqueline, she was very attentive to jax, kept us in the loop as to how jax was doing. her home was very clean and nice backyard for the dogs to play around.”
“Hank had a blast playing with other dogs in the yard & going to the dog park while we were out of town for the weekend. This was a much better fit than a kennel for him being a newer adoptee & he had a great time!”
“This is the second time we have used Connie and we were happy yet again! Our dog was so excited to come in and be with Connie and Jojo at drop off. She sent pictures and kept in touch while we were away. Marco is blind, so I am sure he is extra work, but Connie has been amazing and we will use her again!! Thanks so much!!”

“Kelsey was fantastic with our 3 cats, attentive, and a great communicator. Would have no hesitation booking her again in future or recommending her to anyone else.”

“Lexi is amazing! I was fortunate to find her in a last-minute situation, and she enthusiastically took on three drop-in visits with less than 24 hours’ notice. My timid rescue beagle warmed up to her immediately, she followed very specific instructions perfectly, and I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Angelina was wonderful! She took great care of our elderly cat and had helpful suggestions for some of his ailments. We will definitely have her back again the next time we are traveling.”
“Olivia was great! She always showed up on time and stayed the full amount of time for her visit. She was nice enough to bring in mail and packages that got delivered. She always sent us pictures of our cat and updated us on activities they did during the visit. Definitely would recommend her services!”
“Estefanía took awesome care of my kitty Moji! She was always on time to the drop-in, sent plenty of photos, and very quickly converted my shy scaredy cat to her usual sweet self. Thanks Estefanía!”
“Zulema was amazing! She went above and beyond, sending the cutest pictures and making me feel completely at ease knowing my cats were in great hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for excellent care!”
About: I'm a pet care provider with over 10 years of professional experience in caring for all kinds of animals. I've owned and cared for cats my whole life. I have worked with a TNR rescue the past few years getting pregnant females and unneutered male cats fixed and cared for. I have experience providing subcutaneous fluids as well as oral and topical medications. I have cared for bottle-fed kittens, ailing senior cats and everything in-between. I always care for every animal as if they are my own and I understand how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable and loved.
“Rebecca is an amazing sitter! She is attentive and thoughtful with my cat. I really appreciate the descriptions she leaves me after her visits. I never have any questions because she is so thorough!”
“Max was very helpful when I booked him last minute. He was on time for all of his visits, took great photos of our elderly dog and was extremely gently and kind. He definitely has a special touch for animals!”
“Stephanie took wonderful care of both my kitties and my home! She communicated each day with photos and notes on how they were doing. She was very attentive to a change in behavior with one of my babies - she made sure to reach out to me, and even my emergency contact just to affirm that everything was OK. I’m extremely appreciative for both the attention and communication, because one of my cats is diabetic and sometimes a small thing is a big thing. Most importantly, my cats love her! They are always happy and well cared for when I return home. Stephanie also kept my house very clean and even changed my sheets for me so I could just return home and go right to bed. Very grateful to have her as a Sitter!”
“Sam is a wonderful sitter! She is communicate well and updates with photos. My cat is always happy to see her and she even gives my bunny attention when she stops by. She was able to help last minute and I can’t recommended her enough! This was my second time booking with Sam and I will continue to use her for any future bookings! 😊”
“Ann P is great with Charlie, 100% reliable on time, sends me pix, and is readily available when I ask to book with her. She even dealt with a quirky messed up sump pump backup battery for us. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has cared for our elderly cat with medications about 6 - 7 times ( 2-6 days each) and it’s been great.”
“I will never go to another sitter, ever! She takes care of my cat who is an absolute terror to people, and Ethel is bery kind to her. She goes above and beyond every time I have her!”
“Grace was amazing with watching and taking care of my cat, and she made me feel much better about leaving him with the pictures she sent daily through the app. They let me know he was in a good mood and comfortable around her which was nice. She played with him, took care of his food and water and even cleaned his litter box a bit. Very grateful to find someone who's experienced with cats, friendly and very reliable! A+”

“Michelle was great!! I feel so lucky to have found her on the site!! She went above and beyond, sending me pictures and updates throughout the day.

About: I’ve been dog-sitting and house-sitting for clients locally for the past 15 years. I’m an avid animal advocate and treat others pets like my own. In my spare time as a health coach, I enjoy researching pet wellness and nutrition. My clients know when they go out of town that their pet is in good hands. My current schedule and availability for pet-sitting is open, as I complete additional training for health coaching. I also work remote but have flexibility on the weekdays and I’m open on weekends. I provide care for your pets based off the directions and specifications provided. All pets are completely unique and have different needs and levels of care. I enjoy providing extra attention and play to dogs/cats who have anxiety. This can get overlooked when families are busy in their routines, and is so important for pet wellness. I have many friends who have pets with “behavioral issues,” that end up being alleviated with some extra attention, love and play.
“Suzy was so great! We were nervous about dropping our new puppy off somewhere for the first time, but Suzy sent up pictures and always kept us updated! She was very attentive with lots of potty breaks too!”
“Mary was communicative, convenient and put my mind at ease as we were in the city for the weekend and our hotel couldn’t accommodate for a late check out to house our pup, Teddy. 🤍 Our niece had a soccer game at Seat Geek stadium in 90 degree October weather and Mary solved our quandary and was as warm and inviting as the unseasonable weather. Highly recommend!”
About: My family fostered over 300 animals for different shelters which means that I have always been surrounded but dogs of all ages! I am able to provided different levels of care based on the animals needs! I work from home and can provide whatever level of care needed for your pets! I am super flexible and responsive as I am needed! I will provide the level of care for your pets as you need. I will work with you so you feel comfortable leaving your pets in my care!
“My dog is so shy and quiet, but when he got home he was so tired….i forgot he was home he was knock out. Lol She text me pictures and a video, which were adorable and kept me informed about everything.”
“Athena took wonderful care of our 9-year old yellow lab. She was available less than 24 hours for 1 day of dog sitting. Our dog was happy and relaxed when we picked her up. I highly recommend Athena to watch your pet!”
About: I have raised and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, all sizes and ages, several with serious medical needs. As a child, my family bred and raised Irish Setters and kept any pup that was not 100% healthy for adoption. Therefore I have experience with all aspects of pet care and I have raised my kids to do the same. We are Tara (49yr), Jaden (15yr) and Alia (12yr) and have been dog sitting for friends and family for years and really enjoy hosting pups to play with and pamper on the weekends since unfortunately we are not home enough during the week to provide adequate care and attention to a full time pup. Our three kitties are very accustomed to dogs but we have plenty of room to separate them if they overstimulate your doggy. Our three level home, plus large back yard, will give your pup plenty of room to play inside and out! We typically run and play in the backyard during potty breaks and go out for several walks a day. The yard is only 90% fenced so I have several 50ft leashes around the yard to provide the illusion of freedom while maintaining safety. If your pup is high energy, they can also play with the neighbor’s dogs or we can take a trip to the dog park so they can socialize and run with other pups. I assure you they will get lots of cuddles and attention and I will send photos and vids of your pup to you throughout their stay! I am available for boarding in my home on the weekends, beginning Friday evening through Monday morning. I can also board at your home from Saturday morning through Sunday evening. I will treat your pet like a member of the family! If they get muddy in the backyard I have no problem giving them a bath and brushing them. They are welcome on the furniture and will not be left alone while they are in my care.
“Thank you for having Addison over for a play date! Emily was easy to communicate with, accommodating to my schedule and send frequent status updates! Addison took a post play day nap within 10 mins of being home!”
“Sarai did great with our dogs. They immediately felt at home with her, and they came home happy and well cared for. She sent photos and video of their visit. Her house was clean, and she had a nice big yard for them to run around outside. She was great!!”
“Michelle and her son are wonderful! She took our booking last minute, which we really appreciated, and was so flexible when our business event in the city ran longer than expected. Our Boomer was in great hands, and we’re so thankful for her care and understanding. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren was the most amazing host to our puppy! She has a beautiful home and is a total joy to communicate with. Thank you for making our lives so easy and being so flexible with our timing!”

“James is awesome! He is very reliable, always on time, and is very kind to my dog. He has been walking my dog daily and it has helped get my dog the exercise he needs in the morning.”
“She is absolutely amazing! She follows instructions perfectly, communicates quickly and clearly, and always prioritizes safety. I really appreciate how she reinforces our dog’s training and handles dogs with so much care and confidence. We trust her completely and feel very lucky to have found her. Highly recommend!”
“Kelsey is an excellent communicator. She is great with Bentley and he is a handful, typical Golden with boundless energy! Thanks so much for helping on days I need to be away too long for him.”
“Morgan and John were lifesavers taking our chompy little puppy for a nice long walk to burn some energy in the middle of the day when we had to return back to work full time. We’ll definitely be using them again!”
“John was wonderful with both our dogs! He was on time, got to know them first, and won them over very quickly. Even our older dog who is very skittish took to John immediately for a walk this week. Would highly recommend!”
About: UPDATE JULY 2024, PLEASE READ: If you see that my reply time is incredibly slow, it's because my account was inactive for a while due to my dad being hospitalized. I had to help care for him for a long period of time and I was unable to reply to any messages on Rover. My dad is okay now and I am available for walks and sitting again. I was a dog groomer for almost 2 years. I'm well-trained in animal safety. I care deeply about all animals, so I'll form a bond with your animals. I'm currently unemployed, so I'll have loads of time to provide love for your animals of any kind! Just let me know what you need/what you're looking for! I understand the basics of taking care of dogs, cats and other animals just like most pet sitters. But I also provide what some sitters don't: love! I'm very sweet and I can give your animals great love and care. Plus, I'll provide some pretty amazing photos of them. If anything out of the ordinary does happen, I will do my best to help and I will contact you immediately.
“Angelina is fantastic with Griffey! She is super communicative, punctual, and makes me feel at ease knowing he is in good hands. Love the updates and photos too; it’s clear she really cares. Highly recommend!!”
About: I am very caring and compassionate for animals and pets. I have a cat of my own named Bruni and he is my best friend. Attentive and reliable pet care is assured with me as your pet sitter! I work as a teacher so my morning and afternoons are busy up until 3:30pm. However, I am available after those hours. I do have days off due to breaks, for example, winter break, where I can be reliable all day during those times. I have a cat of my own that I attend to 24/7. Therefore, I am very familiar with pets’ needs. I will assure you great communication and punctuality.
About: I’ve owned two Pitbulls who I hold very close to my heart and have dog sat for friends, family members and neighbors. Some dog breeds I’ve worked with are Pitbulls, Retrievers, mini Aussie doodles, labradoodles, and standard poodles. I am currently Dog/cat CPR certified. I’m currently working part time and taking classes at COD. My hours are: Monday 6:00am-12:00pm, Tuesday:6:00am-3:00pm, Wednesday: 6:00am-3:00pm, Thursday: 11:30am-1:00pm. I can do some Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays as well some current days I’ll be gone are July 17-19, and August 21-24 but other than that if you need help on Friday, Saturday or a Sunday please don’t hesitate to reach out. When it comes to taking care of pets - I care for them like they are my own. I make sure they are well cared for, fed, brushed, and I monitor overall healthiness. I report any changes in health or energy to their family. I’ve also given my clients a text letting them know I’ve arrived and when I’ve left, as well as a photo/video updates of their dog. When a client’s dog has medicine - I am skilled at helping administer the medicine so dogs feel comfortable. I monitor food and water change water and add when necessary or according to schedule. I clean up if there happened to be an accident such as potty or throw up, properly disposing of waste. I provide walks for exercise and believe in positive reinforcement. Play time is important so I provide games - such as chase or catch - to keep their minds and body active. I make sure their paws are clean after play/walks and wipe their paws when they come in the house. When I leave, I do safety checks to make sure I’ve properly lock up such as double checking to make sure the door is locked and if there’s a gate double checking to make sure the gate is closed and locked.
About: I’ve had experience with dogs since I was a child, along with many other types of animals. I’ve always loved caring for pets and my goal is to some day own an animal farm. You can trust your pet is in good hands, as I have 3 of my own that mean the world to me. My day revolves around pets care, it is definitely my first priority over anything else. Not only is there time to walk, but there is definitely time to play! Animals each need time dedicated to them individually and should feel special. We have a 3 story house, with a beautiful back yard. A cleaning crew keeps our house spotless and free from any pet dangers. You can trust your pet is in good hands when staying with us.
“I always feel so much more at ease when Stephanie checks in on my little lady Lilah when I have a long day at work! And Lilah is a much happier camper when I get home.”
“Isabell was so flexible last minute for us! It was our first time using Rover and she was extremely helpful. She was on time, very friendly, and our pup loved walking with her. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I've owned and cared for all kinds of animals my whole life. Professionally, I have experience working as a dog handler, kennel attendant, dog bather, and groomer. I also have extensive experience working and caring for cats, horses, and various small animals. My +3 years working at a dog daycare facility had me safely handling a pack of up to 25 dogs; providing exercise & engagement, soft corrections, and positive reinforcement. To do so, it was necessary to be observant and in tune with the dog's behavior and always on the lookout for any signs of stress or aggression. As a bather and groomer, I was focused on hygiene but a large aspect of the job relied on my knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques. I've owned cats my entire life and have worked with a TNR rescue the past few years getting pregnant females and unneutered male cats fixed and adopted. I also have pet care insurance with animal baliee coverage in case of emergencies. I always care for every animal as if they are my own and I understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable and loved. I work part-time on the night shift, so I'm usually out of the house between 9:30pm and 2am Monday through Friday. Outside of that- my schedule is flexible. I am available on most weekends and holidays. I only book one client at a time for pet sits and boarding, so your pet(s) will have my full attention. I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood with a huge, unfenced yard. I own a variety of animal care supplies and equipment.
“Jessica helped us out with walking our two dogs when we were traveling for two weeks. Our dogs are both pretty anxious, and one of them can be particularly difficult to work with, but Jessica was great! She's very kind and gentle with the dogs, and is very reliable. An excellent experience.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. When I was 18 I got my own dog for the first time. Since then I’ve moved into my own house and got another dog and 2 cats. Over the last 7years I’ve had friends and family rely on me to walk and feed their pets while they were not home. I’m a very big animal lover and would love to be able to do the same for your pet! I’m currently working midnights as a community service officer part time so I’ll have plenty of time throughout the day to walk your pets, do drop on visits, and have your dog over for doggy day care . I’m available to walk your dog or have your dog over for doggy care any day after 9 AM except Saturdays. I’m very flexible with my schedule. Before walking your dog I’ll make sure the leash and harness are completely secured to ensure your dog does not get loose. Your dog will not be off leash at anytime to ensure your dog does not run away. If it is hot I will make sure to check if the pavement is to hot for your dogs paws. If you allow your dog to have treats, I can bring healthy treats to reward your dog for good walking behavior. You’re dog will be treated how I would want someone to treat my dog while walking them. If your dog is coming over to enjoy doggy daycare they will start off with a little walk and then we will spend some time playing fetch and running around in the house and outside. I have a French bulldog who is very playful and would love to spend some time with your fur ball! If you bring food for your dog your dog will be fed on time at the time you prefer. Your dog will also be given treats (if you allow it) and will have a fun time! We will also go to a near by dog park (if weather permits and if you allow it). I also have plenty of couches and dog beds for your fur baby if he or she desires a nap!
About: I've helped to take care of both dogs and cats for many years, including pets of my own as well as those of friends and family. I currently don’t have pets of my own, but I grew up with a beagle-dachshund and a cat. I'm very responsible and organized and care deeply for animals. I'm recently graduated as a Doctor of Physical Therapy and am looking for some work this summer while I study for my boards exam and putting to use my love for animals! They will be in excellent hands with me! I currently have pretty wide open availability as I study for my boards exam, so I should be able to be flexible and work with your schedule! I can cater to whatever your needs are for the safety of your pet. I will take great care of your pets, whatever that entails for you.

About: I started pet sitting as a teenager for neighbors and family friends. Since then, I have watched all types of dogs, including senior dogs. I became a dog owner for the first time in my mid-twenties. He was an elderly beagle mix with health issues. After he passed, I grieved until I was ready to own a dog again. Then I had ten wonderful years with Shadow, a husky mix who was a stray that made his way to a rescue. He bravely fought lymphoma for 1.5 years before succumbing to the disease. Through that time, I provided medication, took him for chemotherapy, and spoiled him until he decided it was time to cross the rainbow bridge. Shadow's absence still leaves a void in my heart that is filled by caring for other people's dogs. I love all types of dogs, and have experience with small to large, young and old, as well as dogs living with various health issues. Giving dog owners the security and piece of mind knowing their furry family members are safe and sound while they are away is a responsibility that I take very seriously. My husband and I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood and our backyard is fully fenced. As a dog lover himself, anyone who books with me gets their pup double the love. My full time job is permanently remote, so I am able to be at home with your dog at all times. No matter their schedule, I can meet it because I can be here to fulfill their needs. I have a fenced in yard for safety, and a dog-friendly neighborhood where your dog will feel right at home. I know every dog has different needs, so I can follow the habits you have created with them to maintain consistency. Whether that is crate training or sleeping on the couch, I will follow your instructions. I know that dogs are family, and treat them as such.
“John did a great job with our 125lb Bernese Mtn Dog, Georgia. From the pictures we received every day, it was clear Georgia was getting a lot of love and attention. She had a fenced in back yard and a very friendly playmate. We definitely plan to use John again!”
“Cheryl did a great job with my pet Summer, she sent daily pictures and updates. I will use her again and recommend her services to anyone looking for a caring and comfortable environment for their pet.”
“Ethel has cared for our Luna multiple times over the last year and we cannot say enough about how awesome Ethel is. Luna comes home happily exhausted after her fun stays with Ethel and Ethel’s dog Tutsi. Ethel provides plenty of photo and text updates while on their walks and visits to the dog park. She’s responsive to messages, and she’s flexible and accommodating for dropoff and pickup. Ethel is so incredibly kind, and we always know Luna is in good hands with her. We’re so grateful to have found Ethel and you will be, too.”
“Guillermina accepted our booking at the last minute and took very good care of our Husky-Shepherd mix, Cannon, with love. She sent us lots of pictures and videos while we were away. Cannon had lots of fun and came back all happy! Guillermina is the best!! Thank you so much, Guillermina! We are so grateful we found you :)”
“Everything was absolutely amazing! Ellie my pup has a lot of separation anxiety but she was so good with Suzy. The best was Suzy sending me pictures of her. I felt that she was safe and so well cared for!”
