“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!”
“This was my second time booking with Maria and she was once again great! Provided me with lots of updates and I knew Julio was having a good time. I would definitely recommend Maria!”
“Kim is responsive and friendly and sweet with my babies. She did some extra travel and pickup of meds I didn’t plan for without hesitation. Having her with my kitties gave me one less thing to worry about!”
“Doug & Deb were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Mae! They gave her lots of attention, cuddles, and walks. It was a relief to know that she was getting such great care (and having a fantastic time) while we were away.”
“Yuliya is AMAZING! My dogs loved her so much they seconds guessed coming home with me! She is my go to dog sitter and I’m very lucky to have found her on Rover. Thank you for taking such good care of Marcus and Faustina. They’ll be back to stay with you soon!”
“Angelica is the nicest most sincere person I have met on Rover. It was my 2 dogs that were equally on a great vacation maybe even better than mine. The dogs have a ramp to their bed, other dogs to play with and a great environment to play and live. A+++. She also was extremely accommodating to our schedule and sent wonderful pictures. Will DEFINITELY use 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!”
“Lauriann and Sven were wonderful sitters! They sent pictures and updates every day. They made sure my Shar-Pei mix felt comfortable through the rain and fireworks, which she can get anxiety about. I felt so safe leaving her in their care and I would definitely book them again.”
“Charlie loves Joe and Camille's yard, their house, the treats he gets, and them. He is 17 with some senior health issues, and I never when he's with them.”
“Marie was great with my 3 mo. old kitten 'Goose'. She was prompt and helpful with logistics and showed great enthusiasm for pet care and kindness toward Goose. Very happy with Maries' hosting Goose at home.”
“I love the attentiveness to all the fur babies and keeping them on a schedule - Katie and Teddy were playing with the others fur babies which is wonderful. These guys are my go-to boarders from this day forward 😊”
“Charise was amazing with our dog Zoe! Zoe came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Charise kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took Zoe on walks, car rides, and let her play in the yard with her sweet dog Navi. You could tell Zoe was getting lots of attention and love the entire time. We also really appreciated that Charise dropped Zoe off at home for us. Highly recommend Charise if you are looking for someone caring, reliable, and attentive to watch your fur baby!”
“I was so pleased with how well Jonelle took care of my Mello. She can be a little shy at first so I was glad to see her warm up and appreciated the pics and videos of my dog having a wonderful time! Highly recommend!”
“Brian took great care of my dog and asked thoughtful questions to ensure my dog’s first stay with him would go well. He provided a picture daily and my dog was happy when I picked her up.”
“Sophia and Andy were super accommodating. Never had to ask for a picture because they were on top of it. You can tell how much they care for pets. Made me feel like my dog Morrie was really well taken care of. Morrie came back happy and content :) Definitely recommend. Thanks so much again”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jackie took such amazing care of Aomi! She made sure Aomi was comfortable and happy every single day. I really appreciated the daily pictures and videos — it was so nice to see how well Aomi was doing while I was away. Communication was excellent; Jackie always kept me updated and responded quickly to any questions. Her home has a lovely, welcoming environment, and Aomi clearly felt right at home there. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter — we’ll definitely book with Jackie again! 🐾”
“Angel took great care of Bean while we were gone for our extended vacation. He was very flexible on dates/times and communicative about how my dog Bean was doing while away.”
“I cannot recommend Bailey enough! I was out of the country for a week, with little to no signal, and Bailey still managed to keep me updated as much as she could. My dog, Leo, wasn't eating alot in the beginning and Bailey did everything she could to get him eat and gave him a bath or two after rolling he rolled in poop lol. It was my first time using Rover and I'm so glad I came across her profile! Also, it was a last minute booking and she was able to accept Leo. Thank you, Bailey, for taking care of Leo as if he was your own pup. I know he misses you! Will definitely be rebooking!”

“Such an amazing cat sitter. I’ve only ever called her in my two years of living in this area to watch my cats because I love her that much. She’s reliable, communicative, attentive, and so loving to my kitties. Thank you Kelly!”
“Ruby was a great sitter for my cat, Lucy. She was very communicative, sent lots of photos and I came back to a clean home. I’d definitely recommend Ruby and will plan to hire her again!”
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, including a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Pitbull mix, so I’m very comfortable with both large and high-energy breeds. I also have experiences with extended stay puppy sitting where I managed feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and creating a calm, structured environment. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are, especially with puppies. I’m currently preparing to welcome a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very intentional about creating safe, positive experiences for dogs. I work Monday through Friday but my partner is currently home all day, so someone will always be there to care for your dog! We are open to boarding any night. Walks I am primarily available after work or sometimes the morning before. My partner is currently available most anytime! We are both reliable and detail oriented. We are prepping to bring in our very own golden retriever puppy, so will treat your dog as if they are our own! As mentioned above I work Mon-Friday roughy 8-4. My partner is currently home throughout the day so someone will always be there to care for your dog. We are open to boarding almost any day especially weekends where we are both home. Walks and drop ins work best for me before work hours or after but my partner has open availability so between us we can accommodate to you! Feel free to ask if you have any specific availability questions! :) Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and am very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and safety during walks and care. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing a safe and positive experience. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always feel confident and connected while your dog is in my care.
“Coleen was incredible with my kitty. Great communication and went above and beyond to make sure all my kitty’s needs were met. I could tell she was in very loving excellent care. Thank you Coleen!”
“Heather is Amazing with our Fur babies!! She treats them both like her own :) I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with their fur babies!! Thanks again so much for all your help!!”
About: My husband and I have always been dog people. Growing up he had two labradors and I had a beagle. When we bought our house we adopted a senior lab. We spoiled him as much as we could and loved him unconditionally. After losing Ceasar two years ago, we walked into an animal shelter and that's where our baby, Uru-Kai, stole our hearts. I don't work on weekends, I have holidays off and the summer off. I already have a dog so I know how important it is to stick to a routine. Our current dog goes out on four walks a day. If he needs to go potty because he drank too much water we let him in the back yard. If he seems bored he rings the doorbell to be let in the backyard. When we need to leave the house our dog is put in his crate to ensure that he's safe and stays out of trouble while we're gone.
“Camille did drop-in visits for my cat. She was excellent. I appreciated that she kept his litterbox clean and sent several photos daily. I highly recommend Camille and will use her again.”
“Samantha was great with the cats. They let her pet them the first time she met them. She was very understanding of the complex situation I was in to have someone watch my daughter's cats.”
About: Your cats will have access to the entire apartment complex and all the furniture. I provide personalized, one on one care and take time to understand each cat’s unique personality and routine. I’m patient with shy cats, attentive to their needs, enrichment, cuddles. I will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your cat is happy.
About: I’ve had cats in my life forever. I raised my first cat from age 10 through marriage. I’m currently bonded to an 18 year old Balinese. I understand cats need their own routine, space, and quiet time, and I’m happy to give them exactly that while you’re away.
“It’s always nice to travel without worrying about my girls back home. Ellen does an awesome job checking in on my cat and makes sure she gets lots of love while I’m out of town. Thank you!”
“Liliia took great care of my cat. She was very responsive and sent me daily updates. She also picked her up and dropped her off at my home which made my life infinitely easier! Would highly recommend!”
“This is the second time I’ve used Rhianna to take care of my two cats. They are very shy, but she got both of them out of their shells and they were looking forward to seeing her in no time. She took great care of my babies and I would use her services again!!”
About: I’ve often been told I’m a bit of a “dog whisperer” because pups seem to gravitate toward me, and I think it’s because they can sense my genuine love for animals. I’ve been a dog lover since childhood, growing up with 4 family dogs, and that passion has only grown over the years. I recently cared for my own senior pomeranian, who lived to 18, so I understand the patience, gentleness, and extra attention that senior pups need. On the other end of the spectrum, I know the energy and consistency it takes to care for playful puppies. Right now, I share my home with two spoiled rescue dogs, Chico (chihuahua) and Squeaks (tripod Pomeranian) who remind me daily how much joy and comfort pets bring into our lives and family. I have taught my dogs how to sit, stay, down, shake, come, and spin. So maybe I can even teach your dog some new tricks :) I also know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member at home. My goal is to be their bright spot while you’re away, whether that’s a walk, a potty break, or simply some kisses, belly rubs, and companionship. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own! I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule to fit in drop-ins, potty breaks, quick walks (10-15) min, kisses and belly rubs during the day while you are away! Right now I only offer drop-ins, potty breaks, and quick walks for your furry babies. I do not offer any home services at my personal residence. If any service is requested outside of the normal services offered, I would be happy to help and discuss prior to my drop-in visit.
“Jesse is utterly fantastic! He was incredibly patient and gentle with our dog. His experience and knowledge in caring for dogs is strongly apparent, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing sitter.”

“Emily was a great sitter. She was super easy to work with. She had a great backyard setup. Our pup, Bandit, loves water and Emily had a doggy pool all set up for him. Would book with Emily again.”
“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.”
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.
“My Shih Tzu, Coco had his first visit with Erica and her family. He was very excited to meet them and he had a great time. I got photos that reassured me he was happy and didn't seem to show any of the separation anxiety he has had. I'm happy to recommend Erica and Ricardo to all and I am definitely adding them to my list of fave Rover people.”

I care for all pets according to whatever their needs are. There is no one way of caring for peoples pets and each pets needs its own individual attention tailored to their needs. Behavior is important as well.
About: I’ve owned dogs most of my life and consistently for the past 11 years — small or large, puppy or senior, I love them all. My own pets thrive on routine, so your dog will get consistent walks, feeding times, and plenty of attention while you’re away. I currently share my home with a pug and an 18-year-old cat, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and energy levels. Pug mom + cat whisperer offering a loving, low-key place to stay I work from home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches — they’ll get plenty of company, attention, and bathroom/play breaks built right into my day. Pet care isn’t an interruption to my routine, it’s part of it. Your dog will get long walks through my beautiful neighborhood, plus supervised outdoor time tethered out front alongside my pug (my yard is unfenced, so all outdoor time is supervised). I’m happy to crate your pet if you provide one, and I’ll keep them on whatever feeding and routine schedule they’re used to at home.
“We appreciate how Sasha took such good care of our senior dog. He enjoyed meeting her dog and napping in her comfortable home. She responded quickly to our initial request, communicated clearly along the way, and sent several cute photos. I definitely recommend Sasha!”
“The best Rover caregiver! We feel so lucky to have found her! Camille sincerely enjoys having our pup stay with her. She welcomes him into her home and treats him like family along with her sweet dog Rosie. Our dog enjoys a stress-free day being at home and part of a second family, taking leisurely walks along their quiet tree-lined neighborhood, sniffing for squirrels and rabbits in the park, indulging in play with Rosie anytime he wants in her grassy back yard along with songbirds to boot. What more could a dog ask for? We couldn't be happier having our dog stay with Camille. Thank you!”
“I’m so impress! Jackie is so responsive and always update the condition of my dog Bentley. She is very good with dogs. Thank you Jackie for taking care of my baby. I highly recommend her and will use her in the future.”
“Arlene is great! Benny was so excited to return to her house. She went out of her way to make pickup easy - taking him to the park, where we were able to meet her. Great service and care.”
“Previously booked with Ruben for boarding when I went out of town for a weekend. Booked for daycare today, and everything was great. Kodak had a fun time playing with the other dogs! I can already tell he’s worn out and will sleep well tonight hah”

“Carley is very sweet and loves animals! She was very considerate and kind with our dog. She paid attention to our needs and made sure our dog was safe, fed, and walked. There was another dog there, so our dog got lots of playtime. Carley sent updates and videos which really made us feel comfortable. Once we got our dog home, we could tell she had a lot of exercise because she went to sleep quickly. Carley was even flexible on the pick up time, which was really appreciated! Overall we were very happy with the service and would recommend Carley for Dog walking & Doggie Daycare !”

Routines are super important for pets, if you don't have one I can create one for you and your fur baby that is specialized for them; that way you always know what to expect. I always ask for permission when it comes to treats, the rooms in the home that are off limits, and what animals can be with who/how many I can walk at a time.
“My dog Cali loves Jackie and her daughter. She responded really quickly when I needed a new dog walker and was really easy to communicate with and quickly met for a meet and greet. Cali loves her weekly walks with Jackie!”

“Leslie is amazing you can tell she is super passionate about animals and is very loving with my dog! Her updates after the walks are also hilarious and they make my day!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. We’ve had dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks, so I’ve had my fair share of taking care of animals. We’ve gotten all our animals when they were babies, so I have experience with all ages. I love animals and my home would feel empty without any. I’m currently have a schedule consisting of classes and basketball. I have a bit going on, but whatever free time I have, I am available! I can stick to a schedule and do everything as close to the pet’s routine as possible. I have time to go on walks and/or let them outside in the client’s yard.
About: Growing up with a larger family I have always been used to a much hectic environment. I’ve been around much vocal and less vocal pets and it’s always awesome to see what personality you will get with your fur baby! I would love to be able to play and most importantly keep your pets safe. I dedicate about all of my time to making sure all pets are well taken care of. I also love going to my nearest shelter and love to take out the pups out on walks and love to keep up with my shelters announcements. Whether they need fosters or donations I’m always happy to help any pet in need! I would love to take care of your fur baby at anytime needed as I have open availability currently and would be free for you and your pet! Growing up I have always made sure to do thorough research on what any pet must not eat or play with as I have always made sure to take the best care of any animal that comes into my home. I’ve had my home cat proof, dog proof, chicken proof, and even bird proof to ensure that no lovely pet ever gets hurt as I want nothing more than to have everyone of them live their best life!

My family has previously kept a dog, geckos, a chameleon, fish, a rabbit,and a bird. My hobbies include chess, bowling, music and concerts, hiking and running.

No problem! 5 dogs? (It’s okay I do too!) consider me to watch your lovely animals! I promise that I won’t let you down! I am currently a full time vet tech! I am free pretty much every Sunday and Wednesday and Saturday afternoons after 3pm. I am off some Mondays as well. I would love to be able to work with your schedule as well! Bringing pets into my home won’t always be an option for me but I am more than happy to stay at your home to watch your fur babies! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats myself so bringing in other pets does not always work well for my little guysz
About: I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing dependable, loving care tailored to their unique needs. I'm patient with puppies, attentive to senior dogs, and committed to keeping pets safe, active, and comfortable. I communicate regularly with owners, provide updates after each visit, and strive to create a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and their families. Being a school teacher, and having the summers off, my schedule is very flexible. Daily walks and sitting is a phone or text message away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their regular routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of affection while ensuring their environment stays clean. I also administer medications if needed, monitor their well-being, and send regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away.
About: Hi, my name is Jesse and I offer In-home boarding, dog walking/pet visits and a pet taxi service. I can administer any medications and/or injections. I self employed and make my living as a professional pet trainer, groomer and have managed large pet care facilities in the Chicagoland area for 20 yrs. I have been responsible for the care and health of at least 300,000 pets in my time in the industry, so I am very well experienced with most medical issues and I specialize in senior and special needs dogs. I only take care of friendly, social dogs that are neutered(depending on age) and love the company of other friendly pets that might not do well in a boarding facility. I am self employed as a professional pet trainer and pet care provider. someone is home most the time which allows the pets to get the exercise they need in order to socialize well during play, rest or naps. I care for all pets according to whatever their needs are. There is no one way of caring for peoples pets and each pets needs its own individual attention tailored to their needs. Behavior is important as well.

“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!”
“Yuliya is AMAZING! My dogs loved her so much they seconds guessed coming home with me! She is my go to dog sitter and I’m very lucky to have found her on Rover. Thank you for taking such good care of Marcus and Faustina. They’ll be back to stay with you soon!”
“Lauriann and Sven were wonderful sitters! They sent pictures and updates every day. They made sure my Shar-Pei mix felt comfortable through the rain and fireworks, which she can get anxiety about. I felt so safe leaving her in their care and I would definitely book them again.”
“Charlie loves Joe and Camille's yard, their house, the treats he gets, and them. He is 17 with some senior health issues, and I never when he's with them.”
“Marie was great with my 3 mo. old kitten 'Goose'. She was prompt and helpful with logistics and showed great enthusiasm for pet care and kindness toward Goose. Very happy with Maries' hosting Goose at home.”
“Charise was amazing with our dog Zoe! Zoe came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Charise kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took Zoe on walks, car rides, and let her play in the yard with her sweet dog Navi. You could tell Zoe was getting lots of attention and love the entire time. We also really appreciated that Charise dropped Zoe off at home for us. Highly recommend Charise if you are looking for someone caring, reliable, and attentive to watch your fur baby!”
“I was so pleased with how well Jonelle took care of my Mello. She can be a little shy at first so I was glad to see her warm up and appreciated the pics and videos of my dog having a wonderful time! Highly recommend!”
“Sophia and Andy were super accommodating. Never had to ask for a picture because they were on top of it. You can tell how much they care for pets. Made me feel like my dog Morrie was really well taken care of. Morrie came back happy and content :) Definitely recommend. Thanks so much again”
“Angel took great care of Bean while we were gone for our extended vacation. He was very flexible on dates/times and communicative about how my dog Bean was doing while away.”
“Reuben took great care of our pup! He checked in and updated us often and made sure that we knew our dog was in good hands. Reuben was also very accommodating when a flight delayed and we picked up our dog a little later than anticipated. He is a kind and knowledgeable individual and we will book with him again!”
“I was confident that my dog was in good hands with Christine! She sent me many adorable photos every day so I could see that he was well cared for while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Christine!”
About: I am a sound healer, wife, mother to my toddler and animals. My husband is a city of chicago worker and we love the chicago area :) We are very active and love to go on long walks and love being outside with our dogs! I absolutely adore cats and love to spend time feeding the feral cats in my neighborhood. In my spare time I also love to go to the local park with my daughter to watch the squirrels and birds. I love nature. I am good with all types of animals and they love me! We have 2 dogs and 3 cats, and some chickens in our backyard. Our dogs are very friendly and love making new friends whenever they can. I truly love watching and meeting new animals and enjoy this type of work. Your pet will love and I cannot wait to meet and take care of them. Please reach out so I can help you with your pet needs! My schedule is open and flexible. My sound healing job varies but typically does not get in the way of pet sitting/ dog walking. Most days I am at home with my toddler or we are out exploring the parks. We have many pets in our home that we care for. I love to work with lists to help me to ensure all tasks are completed and that I am organized.
“This was Daisy’s first stay with Joe but it won’t be her last! Joe clearly loves dogs and that gave us peace of mind on our vacation. We loved the photos and videos he shared with us. It was great to see Daisy enjoying herself with him. I have no hesitation in recommending Joe.”
