“Rob, is a great sitter. I just got a new position and would have to rehome my Nova. He said no she is not going to a shelter she can stay as long as you need her too. The reviews I have seen are very upsetting because when my flight was late, he said Nova was sleeping and just come her the next day without an extra charge. My Nova had her buddy Delta that he send pictures of once or twice a week. Rob does a good job of care, love and support.”
“I'm incredibly grateful to Maria and her daughter for taking care of my dog. Theo is a senior citizen who needs extra care. Maria was terrific with him.”
“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.”
“Elizabeth was so responsive, kind, and treated my dog as if it were her own. She sent me lots of photos and updates throughout the stay. Her kids were super gentle with my timid dog and I could tell that the entire family went out of their way to make my dog feel at home. Would definitely book again!”
“Jan is so loving and attentive. I’m going to book her a third time. She does more than most and goes above and beyond with your little fur baby. She loves animals and it shows. You never have to worry about your fur baby when they are in her care.”
“Thank you Angelica for caring for my fur baby while I was away! Angelica is a great communicator throughout from time of booking up until the end of stay. She is very passionate when caring for your fur baby. Overall a great sitter and highly recommended!! Please expect to receive pictures and videos of your fur baby interacting with other fur babies.”
“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!”
“So friendly and accommodating to me and my Santi boy. He seemed so happy and comfortable arriving home so i KNOW he had a great time. Charise is a true dog lover and i look forward to booking with her again. Thank you!!”
“Ruben took my Anubis on such short notice and if I could give him 10 stars I would. He was very communicative and consistent with updates/pictures. While away on a long business trip, every time I worried I was able to simply check my phone for peace of mind. So glad we chose Ruben and I will be using him again in the future.”
“Julia has been wonderful with our dog Clare. Clare seems to have a great time and we appreciate all the pictures and updates! We’ve worked with Julia twice now and will definitely be sending Clare back. Thank you!”
“Janette and Charlie watched our dog for the first time last week while we were on vacation. They were flexible with our schedule, and sent lots of pictures and videos so we could keep up on how Sadie was doing. She had a great week with them!”
“Doug and Deb took care of our 11-year old medium-sized dog for 2 days/1 night while we were at a wedding. They were wonderful! We explained ahead of time that she is immunocompromised and can’t be around other dogs unless we’re 100% sure they are vaccinated, so Doug & Deb made sure she was the only “guest” in their home that weekend. They were also very accommodating when we let them know a few days before our trip that our dog would be wearing a cone and needed some antibiotic cream applied after a toenail injury. And of course, they sent pictures and reports on how she was doing throughout her stay. We will definitely use their services again in the future!”
“Amazing! My doggy’s were so happy. One of my dogs had a cone and he was extra cared for it was really appreciated! The dogs came home with a goodie bag and everything. Will definitely book again!”
“Guadalupe took such great care of my Tommy. I could tell he was having a great time from all the picture and video updates I was getting! I will definitely book again!”
“Adolfo was very responsive and worked with my dog Lily to ensure she was comfortable! He sent me daily picture updates, which help someone nervous with leaving their pup behind. I would recommend Adolfo and would use him again in the future if needed!”
“Angel took such great care of our golden Rosie when she stayed with him for a week! She came back home tired and happy. Angel was great about providing us with updates and lots of pictures and videos so we could tell Rosie was having a great time with him and his resident pups. Would definitely recommend Angel!”
“Sophia and Andy are awesome. They sent regular updates and pictures of Max while we were away. Both are very experienced and are able to gauge and took really good care of Max. There are very few instances when Max was away from us in past, Sophie and Andy made him comfortable and gave him love, giving us the peace of mind. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again in the future.”
About: I’ve raised my mini-golden doodle of 8 years from when he was 2 months old. I’ve trained him to potty outside & all the main tricks. He’s well behaved & gentle. That’s why many of my friends have trusted me with caring for their pets. Whether that be checking in to feed them, walk them, play with them, or even lightly train them. My friends think I’m a dog whisperer. I’m currently doing a career change & study for my Illinois real estate license. My availability is completely open and flexible at this time. Let me know what your needs are! I care for dogs in a way that respects their routine, their boundaries, and keep things clean and in order. Whether it be from dog sitting overnight, I have a keen ear to puppies and when they’re up to something or know when they need to go out to potty in the middle of the night. Any other type of care will be simply respecting your home rules & how you like your pet to be handled or trained along the way.

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 prompt, considerate, and took awesome care of my two shy cats. First experience with Rover, and Coleen's impressive care was a great intro to this service.”
“This was our second time having Kelly sit for our two cats and the experience was just as great as the first. She is awesome and really takes great care of our girls while we are away.”
“I would highly recommend April! She took care of my cat for a week at my place while I was out of town. My cat Howie immediately liked her (like, leaped out of his tree to run and greet her) and I knew he was in good hands. I especially appreciated how flexible she was when my apartment building threw several curve balls at her. I would definitely book with her again.”
“I can't say enough great things about Jacqui! They went above and beyond while checking on my dog, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pup was in such good hands. Not only did they make sure all the basics were covered—food, water, bathroom breaks, but they also took the time to give my dog some love, playtime, and attention, which made all the difference. I got regular updates (including some adorable photos!), and I could tell my dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It’s clear that Jacqui truly loves animals and treats them like their own. Reliable, kind, and completely trustworthy. I'd recommend Jacqui to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry family members. Thank you so much for everything!”
“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!”
“Camille was very communicative, was great with small requests I had and sending photos daily! My cats were happy and healthy when I returned home from my trip.”
“Megan was fabulous! I had an emergency right before leaving and needed to modify my booking. She was so gracious and accommodating. I will absolutely be using her services 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.”
“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!!”
“Maria was absolutely AMAZING with our fur babies!!! She was so detailed and loving with their care. She even was able to accommodate a last minute change in schedule. She’s been the best and our babies LOVE her!!! We have found a permanent caregiver in Maria!!!”
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.
“I cannot recommend her enough! ❤️ I was honestly so nervous about leaving my sweet kitten, Gemma, since she’s still so young, but she completely put my mind at ease from the very beginning. She took such incredible care of Gemma and treated her like she was her own. She constantly sent me pictures, videos, and detailed updates about how Gemma’s day was going, which meant so much to me. I never had to wonder how she was doing because I always knew she was in the best hands. What impressed me the most was how quickly Gemma felt comfortable. Within the first hour, she was already playing, exploring, and acting like she was right at home! It was obvious that she felt safe, loved, and happy, and that speaks volumes about how caring and attentive she is. If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely care for your pet, communicate with you, and make your furry friend feel completely at home, look no further. I would trust her with Gemma again in a heartbeat, and she’ll absolutely be my go-to cat sitter for all future trips. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my sweet baby! 🥹🐾💕”
“We've used Yulissa twice and she's great with communication and always takes great care of our kitty. Will definitely continue to contact her in the future. Thanks Yulissa!”
“Rhianna was very communicative and provided great updates about Momo. She was also very kind and flexible with rescheduling the meet and great due to family illnesses and modifying the visit when our geriatric girl passed prior to the trip. She went above and beyond my expectations including cleaning the litter boxes more frequently, tidying around the litter boxes, food area, and Momo's vomit/hairballs.”
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.
About: I have a lifelong love for animals and extensive experience in pet care, having grown up in a home where we always had a dog, along with a variety of other pets including cats, birds, and small animals. From a young age, I learned the importance of responsibility, patience, and compassion when it comes to caring for animals. Whether it was daily walks, feeding routines, grooming, or vet visits, I was always actively involved in making sure our pets were happy and healthy. My genuine love for animals has only grown over the years, and I take pride in providing them with attentive, reliable, and affectionate care. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I make time each day to ensure pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime throughout the day, or evening wind-downs with cuddles and grooming, I prioritize their well-being and make sure their needs are consistently met. It doesn’t feel like a task—it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always strive to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow any specific routines or instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise routines, and preferred activities. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure pets feel secure by keeping their surroundings familiar. In my own home, I offer a calm, pet-friendly space where animals can feel relaxed and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I focus on making each pet feel loved, comfortable, and stress-free while in my care.
“Arianna watched my cat for a week while I was out of town and everything went great! I was new to the app and she helped answer some of my questions and worked with me to book the appropriate service at a very reasonable fee. My cat seemed to really like her, and I enjoyed seeing the pictures and comments in the visit reports. Someone also sent me a giant package while I was gone and Arianna went above and beyond by dragging it into my front entrance without being asked. Highly recommend!”

“Diana was thoughtful and caring! I really appreciated her ease with my dog. She also helped me with my “separation anxiety “ by sending pics of my dog playing and on walks. Diana was flexible with my schedule and was okay with me picking up my dog past 10 pm. That was really helpful to me! Overall great experience! Highly recommend.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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 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.
About: I have significant experience caring for dogs starting in my youth with family pets and for the past 9 years caring for our family dog. I am also experienced in caring for neighbors dogs of all ages and stages. My care is customized for the age and stage of your lovely dog. FOR INSURANCE REASONS, I CANNOT ACCEPT BULLY BREEDS. Thank you. I have wide availability 7 days per week. Your dog will receive lots of love and attention during their stay, including walks, treats and chew toys. Also feel free to include your dogs favorite toys. I have a fenced yard and a lovely well behaved 9 year old golden retriever named Daisy that loves other dogs to hang out with.
About: Hi, my name is Rick. I would like to start by saying my schedule is extremely flexible, as I am recently retired from the Office of the Chief Judge, Circuit Court of Cook County. My family and I have a home that has plenty of space to accommodate your pet. We have an 11-year-old son and also have three small dogs of our own that are extremely friendly, playful, up-to-date with all of their shots, and in great health. I believe pets complete a home. I am extremely passionate and enthusiastic about the care and needs of all types of animals. My experience in Pet Care began from having my own pets and caring for the ones of family and friends over a span of 40 plus years. I have also fostered a few dogs over the years. I have a substantial amount of experience with cats, guinea pigs, bunnies, hamsters, turtles, fish and so many others. My goal is to ensure your comfort and confidence, knowing that your pet will be loved and cared for as if it were our own. Should your pet require any medical attention or medication I am completely capable of providing this service, while in my care. We hope you consider us. I look forward to providing a caring, efficient service for your pets. My schedule is extremely flexible, as I am recently retired. For the exception of dropping off and picking up my son from school I am home all day to provide attention and care for your pet. I have a large yard with a privacy fence and three friendly, small dogs to keep your pup company. If preferred, I can easily crate your dog if needed.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats throughout the years. Usually neighbors or family friends. I’m relied on to feed , walk / clean litter boxes for the animals I have pet sat for. I have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages. I currently work hybrid. So I’m at home most of the week. I also have a partner who works fully remote and will step in when I’m not home. For dog/cat sitting at your house , I clean up after your pet !! I clean up after your pet if they have any accidents and make sure they are feed and have plenty of water. I enjoy walks and can ensure your dog gets some outdoor time so they can get some exercise. I am able to give dog’s/cats medicine. I will also try to keep your pets schedule similar to what you have in place ! I want your pet comfortable
“I am so blessed to have found her not far from home to watch over my 13 months old high energy puppy. After the first dog sitter he came to crash in his crate. He had no energy to not even jump. As first time dog owner- I have no idea what I’m doing but Jackie sure is a dog whisperer.”
“Ashley was our first experience with a Rover sitter, and we have a very shy/nervous lab mix. She did great! Ashley sent lots of photos throughout their visit which really made us feel at ease. Our dogs were happy and playing when we came to pick them up. We are planning on using Ashley again on our next trip! 10 out 10!”
“I couldn't have asked for a more down-to-earth, caring, responsible person to take care of my dog. Even with a wonderful grassy fenced-in backyard to play in, Camille also took our dog for two walks along the peaceful tree-lined neighborhood she resides in. Our dog is generally anxious in new settings but, when I came to pick him up, he was completely relaxed on the rug along with their dog, Rosie. With other Rover sitters, he usually bolts for me and the door simultaneously with a wide-eyed frenzy which I had always chalked up to his anxious personality. When my dog didn't bolt, I knew immediately that she had been especially hospitable kind and loving towards him - for him to feel so safe and look so comfortable and at home. I saw it in his manner and felt it in my gut. There is only one other Rover sitter (out of many we have tried) that has had this effect on him. I highly recommend Camille to take care of your dog because she has something special. I would be willing to drive 30 minutes out of my way and back to have her take care of our dog. There is nothing I want more than to know my dog is happy and content when I am not around.”
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.
“Jenny was great! My dog has anxiety and she made her feel comfortable and took care of her with walks and was careful to avoid the other neighborhood dogs as requested. Will definitely use Jenny’s services in the future.”
About: I have 2 cats, senior and adult, and 1 puppy who I raised since birth in 2025. They always come first before me and I make sure they are happy! My puppy loves when we go for walks and we always cuddle whenever we have time together! I work in the gigging industry of audio and lighting, so my schedule is open and flexible! I work friday nights for shabbat services and Sunday mornings for worship service but they last about 4 hours and I am home in time to care for all my children! Free access for water, I have toys for dogs and cats, cat trees and vertical shelter for my cats to enrich their behavioral habits! I walk my dog 3 times a day! Litter boxes are always clean and fresh for the next bathroom break!
“Bere looked after Bruno all day yesterday. She provided regular updates and photos, which I appreciated. Overall, I'm satisfied with her service." And also for her patience thank you bere.”

“I can't say enough how warm and loving Kelly is toward dogs. The moment my dog met her for the first time, he ran up to her and acted as though she was his long-lost best friend. She is absolutely the best.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. I am especially comfortable with high-energy dogs and anxious dogs. I trained my family’s dogs many basic skills and have practice administering medications. I love all animals and would be honored to take care of yours! I’m currently in graduate school, looking for a part-time job; and would love to help take care of your pets! My current schedule is open for any day of the week, anytime. I am happy to feed, walk, crate, or simply play with your dog or cat! I am quite flexible and have stubborn dogs of my own, so I know all the tricks of getting pups to do what you need them to do.
“I am so happy that we met Jacqui and she agreed to walk our two year old pup for the week. Jacqui was extremely clear, communicative, professional trustworthy, flexible, consistent and kind both during the booking and the week. Our dog, Max loved his walks (she took some great photos). We can’t wait to work with Jacqui again - she’s got a lifelong friend in Max and client in us!”
“We love Hillary. I am able to walk Charlie myself now but as we (Charlie and I) would miss Hillary terribly, we decided to ask her to walk Charlie two days a week. Luckily, she accepted. See? That's how wonderful she is to us.”
About: I love surrounding myself with pets. I have several of my own pets. I take care of blind, deaf, and reactive dogs. I love taking pets out for walks and playing with them while owners are away. I work different hours depending on the month. I'm currently available in the morning hours up to 1p. On the weekends I'll have more availability. I'd care for your family member like I would one of my own and respect your household. I'd clean up any messes your love one has made and let you know of any damages/messes
“Maria was very nice and did great with our sometimes-high-strung dog. He liked her immediately and was happy to go for a walk with her even though he sometimes has separation anxiety. We're planning to book with her again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 14 years old. I understand that's dogs are just not pets, their family. I've looked over pets for family and friends, and patient with dogs who learning! I'm currently applying for graduate, so I have a lot of downtime to spend it with your pets! I'm available weekdays and weekends! If you need to change your schedule last minute, I can accommodate!

“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 have 2 cats, senior and adult, and 1 puppy who I raised since birth in 2025. They always come first before me and I make sure they are happy! My puppy loves when we go for walks and we always cuddle whenever we have time together! I work in the gigging industry of audio and lighting, so my schedule is open and flexible! I work friday nights for shabbat services and Sunday mornings for worship service but they last about 4 hours and I am home in time to care for all my children! Free access for water, I have toys for dogs and cats, cat trees and vertical shelter for my cats to enrich their behavioral habits! I walk my dog 3 times a day! Litter boxes are always clean and fresh for the next bathroom break!
“Fanni is wonderful and I felt at ease when Chomper was in her care. She is communicative, responsible, and even braved walking up 13 flights of stairs when the elevator in my building was out. I am so appreciative of her time and would highly recommend her for any pet care needs!”
“Joshua walks our dog everday during the week and he is great. We can tell by the pictures our dog enjoys his time with Josh. He will also contact me or my fiancee if anything is out of the ordinary. I highly recommend using Joshua as a dogwalker!”
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: Ready to work hard and safe to take good care of your four-legged best friend! At your service for walks, sitting, driving to appointments, and any other basic pet care! I've been hired my neighbors, relatives, and family friends before to house sit/ pet sit. I think it's important to be careful and respectful at all times, to report any issues immediately, and treat the pet with the kindness and fun they usually receive from their owner! 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. I'm located in the near-west suburbs but I have my own car so I'm happy to go anywhere around Chicagoland! Take care! currently working a flex position at Camp McKean for community and outdoor recreation. off all day on Sundays Mondays and Tuesdays. Rest of the week I could dog sit before or after work. Early morning or evening. I will always top off a pet's water bowl, take an inventory of supplies like poop bags, toys, where food is, etc. with Rover gigs before I've taken pictures and videos for the client to let them know how everything's going 😀
About: I adopted my corgi, Colin, this past year. I enjoy playing with him, training him, and learning all that I can about caring for dogs. I am currently available to care for pets any time of the day on weekdays or weekends. I work as an elementary school teacher and I’m on summer break. I have a home with 1 dog who is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs. We have a fenced yard and no kids. I’m an elementary school teacher on summer break, so I’m available to care for your pup 24/7! I will be home to care and play with them every day! We typically only have 2-3 dogs in our home at a time to make sure all the dogs that stay are well taken care of. We have a big fenced yard and even a doggy pool! We make sure our yard and our house is clean and has lots of toys available. The dogs that stay with us usually sleep upstairs with us in our bedroom.

“Rob, is a great sitter. I just got a new position and would have to rehome my Nova. He said no she is not going to a shelter she can stay as long as you need her too. The reviews I have seen are very upsetting because when my flight was late, he said Nova was sleeping and just come her the next day without an extra charge. My Nova had her buddy Delta that he send pictures of once or twice a week. Rob does a good job of care, love and support.”
“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.”
“Elizabeth was so responsive, kind, and treated my dog as if it were her own. She sent me lots of photos and updates throughout the stay. Her kids were super gentle with my timid dog and I could tell that the entire family went out of their way to make my dog feel at home. Would definitely book again!”
“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!”
“So friendly and accommodating to me and my Santi boy. He seemed so happy and comfortable arriving home so i KNOW he had a great time. Charise is a true dog lover and i look forward to booking with her again. Thank you!!”
“Ruben took my Anubis on such short notice and if I could give him 10 stars I would. He was very communicative and consistent with updates/pictures. While away on a long business trip, every time I worried I was able to simply check my phone for peace of mind. So glad we chose Ruben and I will be using him again in the future.”
“Adolfo was very responsive and worked with my dog Lily to ensure she was comfortable! He sent me daily picture updates, which help someone nervous with leaving their pup behind. I would recommend Adolfo and would use him again in the future if needed!”
“Angel took such great care of our golden Rosie when she stayed with him for a week! She came back home tired and happy. Angel was great about providing us with updates and lots of pictures and videos so we could tell Rosie was having a great time with him and his resident pups. Would definitely recommend Angel!”
“Sophia and Andy are awesome. They sent regular updates and pictures of Max while we were away. Both are very experienced and are able to gauge and took really good care of Max. There are very few instances when Max was away from us in past, Sophie and Andy made him comfortable and gave him love, giving us the peace of mind. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Jenny did a great job taking care of our cattle dog for a week. She sent us regular updates and photos and Rosie looked quite comfortable there! We would definitely use Jenny again!”
“The number one destination for Aegon when we travel without him is Katherine and her crew. He’s practically part of the family and I hope we’ll have the pleasure of being repeat customers for many years to come.”
“Eniya was so wonderful. She took great care of King as if he were her own. She communicated everyday sending pictures and videos. I was at ease knowing that he was in such good hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again when I need. Thank you so much Eniya!”
“It was Ari’s first overnight stay after we adopted him two month ago. And in addition he is a very leash reactive dog. So of course we worried. But we shouldn’t have. Joe is very good. He doesn’t just love dogs, he definitely knows their psychology and is a good trainer too. Joe also kept us at ease by sending lots of pictures and videos. Ari was very happy staying there, he got to play a lot with Joe and his dogs and also got his daily cuddles.”
“Ian was fantastic! Kept me updated on my dog's and sent me so many pictures. I absolutely loved it, I felt like I could completely trust him w my dogs. The yard kept em entertained and they seemed very happy to be there. Deffo will rebook w him”
“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'm always nervous when we leave Luna with someone new, but Lorraine made it really easy with a meet and greet which made drop off simple. We received lots of pictures to reassure us. Lorraine was super easy to work with for drop off and pickup and was accomodating for Luna's minor issue with stairs. Luna came home very relaxed and tired, I'm guessing from the fun she had at Lorraine's!”
“Sasha's great !! Bella loved her and her 2 dogs, Chewy and Nacho. She certainly enjoyed herself because she was pooped when she got home. Will definitely come back if they'll have her :)”
“My dog was well taken care of and had a great time with Rico! He was great about sending photos and updates. I was unsure of my exact timing for drop off and pick up and Rico was so kind and flexible with me. Excellent experience and I'd be happy to have Margo stay with him anytime!”
“Great communication and did amazing with our anxious doggie. It was hard to predict our dog’s anxiety level as she had never been away from us for so long, but they really made it work. Grateful for their service”
