“Sarah was great. She took very good care of my dog and cat and kept me updated with photos and recaps of their activities. She obviously loves animals and I felt my boys were very safe in her care--I recommend her highly.”
“Once again, Michelle and her family took incredible care of Bilbo! They truly treat him like one of their own, and it brings so much peace of mind knowing he’s getting just as much love as he gives. The regular updates and photos keep me completely at ease while I'm away. We couldn't ask for a better sitter and cannot recommend Michelle highly enough!”
“Erica was a great host for our dogs! She and her pup Rocky did a great job making Oreo and Lotus feel welcome. Erica was great at communicating and I appreciated her flexibility when our travels got delayed!”
“Amberly was super accommodating and was a lifesaver when our sitter canceled last minute, and our pup had so much fun playing that she slept like a rock when we brought her home! Also she took amazing photos of our pup as an added plus :)”
“This was our first time leaving our pup for more than a few days and needless to say we were only a little tightly wound about it. But Shirley made us feel like we could breathe on our travels and actually be present in the moments. Not only did she keep him loved and cared for, but she was the ultimate documentarian, showering us with plenty of pics and videos to never feel left out. I would highly recommend Shirley for any pet care taking needs, and would love to have her watch Kaito again.”
“Connie was incredible! She was so sweet with Rocky, and great with communicating and sending updates/photos. I’ll definitely be using Connie the next time I’m out of town!”
“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”
“Jo’Ell was wonderful, super responsive, and the dogs all loved her. We couldn’t believe how quickly they went with her at drop off, they were so calm and settled. She kept us updated throughout her time with them with photos and messages, and we knew they were in great hands. We would definitely love to have Jo’Ell watch them again, highly recommend.”
“Danielle and her family took care of our Cookie (11.5 yrs) and our Stella (8 months) while we visited our daughter out of town. Our dogs were treated well like their own. We really appreciated knowing our dogs were safe and in a caring home with a big fenced in yard.”
“A sincere thank you to Angelica for looking after my puppy for several days, even a day longer than I had anticipated due to serious travel issues from Boston. I cannot thank Angelica enough. If she permits, I will be looking to book Angelica's services routinely in the future. Thank you sincerely Angelica. Patricio,”
“We brought Scotch to Kent’s place for Christmas while we went out of state. Kent was so kind from the start and Scotch warmed up to him very quickly. We were so glad to see our shy boy so happy in all the photos Kent sent us. Scotch was picked up happy, healthy, well fed, and well walked. We will definitely be reaching out to Kent when we need a sitter again. Would definitely recommend!”
“Matt and Michelle took great care of our 2.5 year old Mae again! They treated her like family and she had a great frolicking with their family dogs and visiting guest dogs. Very accommodating with some minor changes to our plans. Thank you!”

“Great communication and terrific care for our dog, including daily walks. Love that Brian only takes dogs from one family at a time. Already scheduled for our second visit with Brian.”
“River enjoyed her stay again and the drop off pick up was super easy and Justine was ready to go. They gave us photos each and kept us up to date. We will be back again. River enjoyed being able to hangout with the kiddos as she's a social people loving dog.”
“So grateful to have found Shannon, Nick and family to watch our dog! They were so accommodating, warm and friendly and took him on frequent walks! Also sent lots of pics! I feel so comfortable leaving him with them again. Thank you!”
“Mary was great with Bernard. He was a happy camper when we picked up him and he was getting lots of time outside and attention - both of which he loves. She responded quickly to messages and was very flexible with pick up and drop off. There where several other dogs around and also other people. I would use Mary again!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we could not have been happier with Jan. She genuinely cared for Sosa and made him feel loved and cared for while he stayed with her. We would happily use Jan's services again!”

“Emily was very efficient and went above and beyond to make sure I had peace of mind while away. I will most definitely be requesting her services the next time I go on vacation!”
About: Being a bunny owner, I take a very patient approach towards each animal I am caring for. I prefer to know their habits and quirks before I begin our journey of knowing each other. I pay very close attention to each animals body language and move forwards based on that. Growing up I was extremely obsessed with my families dogs and cats. My first pet was a grey cockatiel bird that I rescued, shortly after I got my first yellow lab. Ever since, I have been very involved in taking care of many of my family or friends pets while they are away. I have taken care of extremely small puppies, fish, birds, bunnies, and cats, to nervous, and anxious big labs ! I heavily enjoy spending time next to a furry creature and I even have a bunny of my own named Diva. She has been a very long lesson in attention to attitude when it comes to handling an animal. I am more than available during the day or night to take care of any animal, I do not have a current job so I am free during awkward hours. I make sure to follow the directions my clients have left for me, I often ask more information on the personality of the animal so I understand our boundaries !
“Ashley always does a fantastic job with my cat and fish. I appreciate how she truly cares for my animals and my cat always is very happy to see her. She always goes above and beyond by bringing in mail, watering plants in the summer, etc. I can relax knowing my animas are well taken care of with Ashley.”
About: I have extensive experience with specialized senior feline care. From 2021 to 2024, I looked after a sweet senior cat named Raja. Following a tumor removal surgery years prior, he had no teeth and required a very careful approach to his daily routine. Though I was told he had outgrown playtime due to his age, I used patience and gentle encouragement to prove that old cats can still love to play. I will bring that same dedicated, observant care to your cat.
About: I'm a big cat lover and have been caring for cats since I was a kid. I'm very patient and will make sure every kitty feels safe with me. I'm responsible, flexible, and will care for ur kitties with load of love! i'm bilingual and speak spanish if needed!
About: I’ve always been around cats and have experience with cat sitting different types of cats (disabled, kittens, social, a little spicy, etc.) I love just spending time with cats so any type of drop in, i can do :)
“Beth was a huge help for us while we were traveling! The peace of mind knowing that our cats were taken care of and getting good human interaction was great. Both cats warmed right up to her, and her updates were always clear that food/water/litter had been taken care of. Thanks Beth!”
“Sara was wonderful and took care of my 3 cats while away for a week on a trip! She was very responsive and communicated and shared photos from each visit. She was friendly and great to know of a local pet sitter within our neighborhood! Highly recommend.”
About: I treat every dog as if they were my own child. I have successfully trained multiple dogs, including two boxers and a black lab, starting from when they were just 8 weeks old. Additionally, I have experience handling and walking excitable dogs that are similar in size to myself. As I am currently taking online courses and on a break from nursing school, pet sitting fits seamlessly into my schedule. It allows me to enjoy the outdoors while providing a valuable service to pet owners who need their dogs walked regularly. When caring for the dogs, weather permitting, they have access to a half-acre backyard with partial fencing. I utilize a 360-degree swivel and tie-out stake when I'm not outdoors with them. Inside, they have water bowls and food, and they enjoy free roam of the first floor of the house. They are always kept well-hydrated, and many of the pups enjoy finding shade under the trees and bushes after a long day of play. During snow season, dogs will be kept indoors, with the exception of bathroom breaks and exercise
“This is the second time we've had Gina watch our cats. We got great photo updates, and the cats seemed very content when we got home! The less mad they are at us for leaving, the better time they had while we were away!”

“Iris was amazing with our pup! He’s not perfect and she was so kind and accepting of his needs. Her home is dog friendly and made us feel very comfortable. She’s knowledgeable on all things dogs and truly spoiled our Oscar. We have already planned our next trip and know Oscar will be in good hands with Iris so we can rest easy while away.”
“Danielle was so flexible, responsive and accommodating to my changing plans. And most importantly, my Ava had an absolute blast! Such a comforting feeling to know she’s being so well taken care of. Will definitely rebook. Thanks again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Michelle! She took such great care of our Mini Aussie. Michelle was incredibly communicative throughout the day, sent plenty of photos and updates, and made us feel completely at ease. It was obvious that she is experienced, caring, and truly loves dogs. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking with Michelle again. Highly recommend!”
“Bach spent a quiet restful day with Emily and family. He was very happy and well cared for. Even though it was the first visit and only for a day, he seemed very happy and peaceful when we picked him up. It's always difficult to introduce a dog to a new "friend" and household but Emily made it easy and comfortable for Bach. Bach recommends her!”
About: My husband and I have both had dogs our entire life. We now have a 9 year old pointer mix who loves a friend every now and then. We have a fully fenced very large back yard for running around. We have food bowls and a crate. We will mainly care for dogs on the weekends when we are home. We usually do a long morning walk as a family. We spend a lot of time outside and almost always have our dog with us. Yours will fit right in and enjoy a lot of play time! We have a large fenced in yard, another sweet dog to play with and a crate if needed or preferred! We have multiple dog begs and welcome any security items form home.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals is truly a passion of mine. I currently have one dog and two cats who are a huge part of my family, we love them dearly and treat all pets in our home the same way. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to give your pup lots of attention, playtime, and care. I’m available for both weekday and weekend boarding, and my schedule is very open. I live near several trails and parks, so walks and outdoor time are a big part of the experience here. I also have a very active 8 year old Lab named Layla who absolutely adores people and other dogs. She’s friendly, playful, and loves having company. Because I have two cats in the home, visiting dogs must be cat-friendly. At this time, I’m not able to accommodate pit bulls or pit mixes. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, and I aim to make them feel right at home while they’re with us. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup! In my home your pet will be family to us. While your pup is in my home, she will go on walks and plays right along side my dog. Your pet will have full range of our home, and will be treated no differently than my dog, so your dog might come home more spoiled than ever!
About: I have taken care of various animals since I was 16, ranging from chickens, roosters and parakeets, to hamsters, guinea pigs, cats and dogs. I have helped birth and take care of newborn puppies. I have open availability for either in-home care or boarding during the week and on Saturdays. I am available morning, day and night for either full care and company, or just a daily walk. I will take care of your pet or pets as if they were at home, whether they're actually at home, or in my own home. I'm bilingual, para los dueños y mascotas que necesiten la confianza de ser escuchados en su idioma, yo cuidare de ellos.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds since I was young. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, giving me plenty of hands-on experience with dogs of different personalities and needs. As a mom to both a child and a beloved fur baby, pet care is a genuinely enjoyable and rewarding gig for me. I understand how important pets are to a family and love providing them with the attention, companionship, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m responsible, nurturing, and happy to treat every pet like part of the family. I have a small fenced yard and a huge open lot across the street. I can walk your fur babies in residential areas, or take them on forest preserve trail runs nearby if they are active pups!
“My dog Coco had a wonderful time with Emily and Amy and their dog, Pepperoni 🌶. I would certainly recommend Emily to anyone needing doggy day care. And I will certainly bring Coco again.”
About: I grew up around many different breeds of dogs. My family calls me the dog whisperer. Building trust from young puppies to older pups. Also, making sure they are fed, going on walks, and getting bathed as needed. I’m available for boarding on the weekends! I’m a home body so I stay home on the weekend. I’ll have plenty of time to play and care for your pup! I love to give pups cuddles and playing fetch. With summer heat coming around, I have introduced a dog pool to help keep my puppy cool. I love providing new ice treats that are refreshing and delicious!
About: I have been a lifelong pet owner and understand that pets are truly part of the family. I share my home with my partner, and together we have years of experience caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. Our family currently includes two small dogs and a cat, and pet care is an important part of our everyday life. What sets us apart is the personal attention and understanding we bring to each pet. We take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, daily habits, comfort level, and what helps them feel safe and happy in a new environment. We have experience with feeding routines, walks, playtime, enrichment, and recognizing when a pet needs extra patience, comfort, or quiet time. We understand that every pet is different, whether they are energetic and playful, more relaxed, shy, or simply prefer their own space. We are an LGBTQ+ household and believe every family member — human or furry — deserves to feel safe, respected, and cared for. Our goal is to provide dependable, loving care and give pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are welcomed into a caring home and treated with the same attention and affection we provide our own. I work full-time during the day from 9:30 AM–5:30 PM, and my partner has the same schedule. While we are away, pets have a consistent routine, and once we are home, they receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care. Whoever arrives home first is ready to greet the pets, provide potty breaks, meals, playtime, and any attention they need. My job is only about 10 minutes from home, so I have the flexibility to accommodate additional check-ins or special needs when needed, including extended lunch breaks for pets who require extra attention. On weekends, we are home and able to provide extra companionship, backyard time, play, and relaxation. We understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s normal routine and creating a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe, loved, and cared for while away from their family. We prioritize safety, comfort, and trust for every pet that stays in our home. We live in a 3-story townhome with a fully fenced backyard, providing a secure space for outdoor time, play, and fresh air. Our finished basement offers a dedicated pet area where pets can have their own quiet space to relax, decompress, or have separation when needed. We understand that every pet has different comfort levels and needs. If you would like your pet to have companionship during their stay, we can arrange a slow and supervised introduction with our pets to make sure everyone is comfortable. If your pet prefers their own space, we can keep pets completely separated for the entirety of their stay. Our own pets will have access to the upstairs third level of our home, allowing us to create a safe and comfortable environment for everyone. Our home already includes two small dogs and a cat, so we have experience managing pets with different personalities, routines, and boundaries.
“Rhae was very responsive, kept me updated during my dogs' stay, my dogs seemed happy! She took the time to walk them a few times while they were there just for the day. Very easy to work with, definitely recommend.”
“Dezmond was so wonderful! He kept our dog happy and took such good care of her. He was great with letting her get comfortable with his pups before I left for the day, and she came home happy and wonderfully exhausted.”
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and hands-on caregiver. I raised my own dog from the time I was 15, so I have real experience caring for a dog through every stage of life, from energetic younger years to senior care. I understand the importance of patience, routine, and paying attention to changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve babysat family pets many times and am comfortable with both large and small dogs. I take pet safety and comfort seriously and treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, calm companionship, or extra TLC, I’m attentive, gentle, and dependable. Pet care is now my full-time focus, which means I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to every pet in my care. I'm available throughout the week and on weekends, making it easy to accommodate a variety of schedules, including last-minute requests when possible. I plan ahead to make sure any pets in my care receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I’m reliable about sticking to schedules and instructions so your pet’s day stays as normal and stress-free as possible. When caring for pets overnight, my priority is safety, comfort, and keeping their routine as consistent as possible to your dogs needs. I make sure pets have a calm, secure environment and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any special needs. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and comfort throughout their stay, and I never leave pets unattended for long periods of time. I keep spaces clean, pet-safe, and free of hazards, and I’m careful to respect boundaries, especially for pets who may need time to adjust in a new environment. I provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while their pets are in my care. Whether your pet needs playtime, quiet companionship, or extra reassurance overnight, I treat them with patience, respect, and the same care I would give my own.
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was young, though never as an official job, mostly for family and friends. I grew up surrounded by animals, including many dogs, cats, and even farm animals. Currently, I have an older Border Collie and a Chihuahua, and they make my days so much better! I love going on daily walks with dogs and playing fetch with them in the backyard. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel loved, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently not working, so I spend a lot of time at home and have plenty of flexibility to care for your dog. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable and at home. Typically, the first thing I do in the morning is let the dogs outside to go potty, followed by breakfast. I also enjoy going for walks during the morning and again in the afternoon, so your dog can get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention throughout the day. i have a fenced yard and 2 trained dogs to keep your baby with company. I have a large crate at home, which I normally only use for my Border Collie during thunderstorms, as it helps him feel safe. However, if you feel that it would be best to separate the dogs at any point, I have the space and can safely accommodate one of them in the crate if needed.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. My love for animals comes from raising my own dogs, especially my sweet girl, Roxi, whom I was fortunate to have from the time she was a puppy until she crossed the Rainbow Bridge in February 2026 at 15 years old. Caring for her through every stage of life gave me firsthand experience with senior dog care, medication schedules, mobility assistance, and the extra patience, compassion, and love that aging pets deserve. I'm comfortable maintaining feeding routines, administering oral medications, providing potty breaks, and recognizing when a dog's behavior or health seems out of the ordinary. I understand that every dog has a different personality, energy level, and comfort needs, and I adapt my care to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved. For puppies, I'm happy to reinforce the training and routines you're already working on, including crate training, potty schedules, basic commands, and positive reinforcement. I know consistency is important, and I'll follow your instructions to help keep your puppy on track. You'll also receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, comfortable, and in caring hands. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I work a hybrid full-time position, which allows me flexibility throughout the week. I carefully manage my calendar and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to, ensuring every pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it's morning walks, evening visits, overnight stays, or weekend care, I plan my schedule around each pet's needs. I believe reliability and consistency are just as important as love and affection, so I make it a priority to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible.

“Hands down one of the best sitters EVER! My cuddle bug had been going to her previous sitter for about 5 months and was still trying to warm up to them. However, after a week with Jonelle, Gina was wiggling her butt ready to go. One day she just walked into Jonelle's house without turning back to say bye or to whine. She's truly amazing and makes sure your dogs are treated as part of her family. Her family is just as great about letting your dog have space and build up comfort to bond with them. If you want someone who has great communication, is compassionate, and loves on your dogs (to the point you might consider your dog a traitor) then Jonelle is absolutely the person for you. All around a great person and sitter.”

“Macey has done such an outstanding job walking our Sophie this summer. From the first meet & greet, she read Sophie like a book: anticipating when she might bark at another dog, chase a squirrel, or simply watch a rabbit eating grass. And Sophie is a Great Dane mix so she weighs 90 pounds! Macey communicates fully and regularly and has almost always been able to accommodate changes in our schedule. I will simply say that Macey is simply the best and we've already arranged future times we'll need her help. We cannot thank her enough!”

“Sara has been amazing with my dog. She has now provided services for my dog a few times and has been patient with my dog, who is shy and scared of almost everything. She has also been great with communication. Glad to have matched with her and look forward to booking future walks with her”

“Amberly was super accommodating and was a lifesaver when our sitter canceled last minute, and our pup had so much fun playing that she slept like a rock when we brought her home! Also she took amazing photos of our pup as an added plus :)”
“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”
“Danielle and her family took care of our Cookie (11.5 yrs) and our Stella (8 months) while we visited our daughter out of town. Our dogs were treated well like their own. We really appreciated knowing our dogs were safe and in a caring home with a big fenced in yard.”
“Matt and Michelle took great care of our 2.5 year old Mae again! They treated her like family and she had a great frolicking with their family dogs and visiting guest dogs. Very accommodating with some minor changes to our plans. Thank you!”

“Everything about the experience was so smooth and easy. Can’t say enough about Robert’s communication. We got many updates throughout the week that we were gone with lots of pictures. The backyard has lots of room for the dogs to run. A+ experience!”
“Great communication and terrific care for our dog, including daily walks. Love that Brian only takes dogs from one family at a time. Already scheduled for our second visit with Brian.”
“River enjoyed her stay again and the drop off pick up was super easy and Justine was ready to go. They gave us photos each and kept us up to date. We will be back again. River enjoyed being able to hangout with the kiddos as she's a social people loving dog.”
“So grateful to have found Shannon, Nick and family to watch our dog! They were so accommodating, warm and friendly and took him on frequent walks! Also sent lots of pics! I feel so comfortable leaving him with them again. Thank you!”
“Cheryl is absolutely the best, most caring person on rover. She will 100% treat your pet like one of her own and will make sure they are well taken care of. She is communicative, sending regular updates on how our dog was doing. Our large, senior dog experienced some health issues while we were gone, and Cheryl went above and beyond to make sure our dog was well taken care of including taking our dog to our vet multiple times for fluids. Even our vet told us that Cheryl is the sweetest person ever. There is no one I would trust more with our dog, and I absolutely suggest to anyone to book with her because she will take amazing care of you and your pets. Thank you Cheryl! You seriously are the best sitter on this app! Thank you for taking such good care of our girl while we were away.”
“Many thanks to Lyn and her family for the great care they provided for our 2 dogs (Joplin and Hampton) over this past weekend. Each is an 8-year-old male and skittish about being separated from us (we have never left them with anyone but close family members). Lyn made them feel right at home from the moment we entered her pet friendly home. She has a warm and engaging personality and seems knowledgeable and really, really loves dogs. The dogs warmed up to her immediately and we left them totally at ease, knowing they would be safe and happy while we were gone. We really appreciate how Lyn accommodated our constantly changing plans as we were attempting to go sailing with a very unpredictable weather pattern. Thanks to Lyn, we feel we can make any future plans and be confident our dogs will be well taken care of.”
“Ivy had the best time with Mary! She felt right home with the dog toys she has already there, the walks, and getting to look out the window. Mary was communicative and prompt and we will keep Mary on our short list for the future when we need a dog sitter!”
“This is our second time with Melissa and once again she did a fantastic job. We love how many videos and pictures we get of Pancake! We can tell Pancake loves going there and playing with her dogs and other new friends. Plus Melissa’s family entertains and plays with the dogs too, which is an added bonus- extra attention! Highly recommend!”
“Melissa is amazing! She kept me updated daily and even sent pictures!! I felt at ease knowing my pup was been very well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Highly recommend! They took fantastic care of our dog, kept me updated with pictures, and handled everything perfectly. Extremely reliable, responsive, and trustworthy.”
“Quandra is amazing! She knows how to care for large and small dogs, as well. Took great care of my Husky and her puppy, while I had to catch a flight on business. I highly recommend her.”
“I absolutely love this sitter! My dog always has the best time and comes home happy and exhausted. She got sick on this last visit and they were very communicative and followed up after to make sure Rylee was okay. All good things to say!!!!”
“Our pup had another great stay with Dez! We appreciate that Dez is always reliable, communicative, and takes great care of our dog. Our dog is an anxious pup but she’s always excited to see Dez!”
