“Our dogs had an excellent stay with JoAnne. They were loved on and treated like part of the family. I truly felt like I’d left them in the caring hands of friends. She sent us several pictures of them throughout the week with reports of the fun they were having and didn’t seem to have any trouble with their weird quirks of barking at the tv or cowering at thunder. I would definitely book here again and recommend to all my friends with dogs.”
“June is amazing, she made of feel very comfortable leaving out DOG mocha with her family. June was great at responding immediately, asking care questions and helping with logistics. I can not recommend enough. Mocha came back so tired from the walks and their backyard, she had a great time.”

“Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay.

I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.”

Overall very happy with her services! Would 100% book with her again in the future.”

“Alicia was the best! I knew from our meet and greet that she was going to be great with Tig and of course she was.

I will absolutely book again if I need to in the future.”

I got regular updates and pictures, and it was so clear that Piggy felt right at home and was having fun. Tina took such good care of her and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I’m so grateful to have found Tina—she’s warm, reliable, and truly loves dogs. Piggy can’t wait to go back for another stay!”
“Paul and his family were so loving to my dog and took the best care of him! They seemed to really enjoy having him there, made sure he had the exercise he needed and even enjoyed snuggling with him. He was there for a week and I believe was well cared for. Will be a repeat client.”

They took the time to win my dogs' trust, providing pets and outside time in a crate-free environment. I feel lucky to have found them!”

About: I’ve grown up around cats and absolutely love taking care of them. I’ve always wished I could have one of my own, so I genuinely enjoy every chance I get to spend time with cats! I’m experienced with feeding, playtime, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every cat has a different personality and I’m happy to give them the patience, attention, and care they need. Your cat will be treated like family with me!
“Chloe did great with my cat, Ellie. She came over twice a day with no issues and fed, watered, and cleaned the litter area for Ellie when I was out of town for two weeks. The house looks spotless and Ellie appreciated the company. Highly recommended!”
“Hannah is so good to our fur babies! She is reliable and flexible and has come in last minute for those surprise bookings that most pet parents come across. We appreciate Miss Hannah and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving caregiver for their pets.”
“Zach did a fantastic job! I booked him to clean out for very dirty litter boxes and replace them with fresh letter. I was very impressed with his ability to get right to the work at hand, get the job done, and leave everything looking great. He was so fast, he had time to tackle one of two of the cats water fountains, which were also overdue for cleaning and refilling. My kitties will love that their favorite fountain is working again. Next time, he’ll tackle the other fountain and I have no doubt that that will be done efficiently as well. Thank you, Zach! Nice to meet you, and you’ll be number one on my call”
“Jessica and Luis are ah-mazing!! I reached it to them on short notice and they were still willing to meet with me and car for my 2 cats while I visited some friends for the weekend. It was my first time using a pet sitter so I was a little nervous but they made me feel at ease leaving Smokey and Pippa for a few days. They sent pictures and texted updates after each visit. Highly recommend them and will not hesitate to book with them again!”

About: I am comfortable walking and taking care of any size dog. I have over 10 years of experience taking care of wide range of breeds from Pittbulls to Labradors. I am in general an animal lover. I am available for walking, boarding, sitting and house visits. I love taking care of animals. I am available on weekdays, weekends and holidays. I am very flexible and can accommodate whatever you may need. I have a fenced in yard for the pups to play in and enjoy. I also love taking dogs on walks whenever the weather permits.
“Audrea and Mark were incredible! They took great care of our girl and were so nice to work with throughout the entire process. We felt confident and comfortable from the time I met them. Will definitely ask for their support again in the near future!”
“Erena is very friendly and personable with dogs. She was able to make our dog Leia feel comfortable in her surroundings and provided timely communication/updates. Overall, Leia had a great stay. We would highly recommend Erena.”
“Jackie was amazing with my energetic boy Tucker!! He loved playing in her backyard and snuggling with her and her pups on the couch. He is tired and happy after picking him up. It was my first time dropping him at someone’s house for Rover so I was very anxious, however Jackie eased that immediately when I met her and her two cute pups. I will 100% use her services again next time I’m in the area.”
About: I have a half acre of fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. I’ve had pets in my family my whole life: always dogs, a few cats over the years, a house rabbit, hamsters, ducks, fish, lizards, turtles - so many lovely creatures! I’ve worked with rescues and shelters and have taken care of elderly dogs at the end of their lifespan administering medications orally, injections, and topically. For my other job I do freelance graphic design from home and make my own schedule, so I’m very flexible with my schedule. When pet sitting at my home your pet will have my company throughout the day. I offer check ins, feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after all pets and livestock at their home. I board dogs and caged pets overnight or for multiple days at my home where dogs have access to a fenced yard at any time of the day, full time supervision, and cozy accommodations.
About: I've been around pets me whole life. I have always loved dogs of all sizes. My parents owned Shih Tzus since I was a kid and I was constantly around close family members' German Shepherds as well. I've done drop-ins countless times over the years for cats of friends and family. Now along with my husband, we live with our dog, Melon, and our cat, Amy. Melon is a 50lb 1-year-old mix breed, and Amy is an 11-year-old senior cat. They can be hectic and they keep us on our toes, but I wouldn't have it any other way! When your pets are in my care, I'll always treat them with all the love and adoration I give my own. I am currently between full-time jobs, so my schedule tends to be open and very flexible for caring for your pets, whether it be on weekdays or the weekend. For pet care at your home, I will prioritize sticking to whatever routine keeps you and your pets comfortable and happy! I know how stressful it can be when family members aren't home, and will do whatever your pets need to know that they are safe and loved even in your absence. If your dog comes to stay at my house, you can take comfort in knowing they'll have access to a fully fenced back yard to run and play in, so they are secure and entertained. My dog, Melon, LOVES other dogs and nothing would make her happier than a new friend coming over to hang out with her.
“Kaya really enjoyed her first visit with Elizabeth!! This was the first time she’s had dog sitting in a sitters home and it went really well! I felt very comfortable with Elizabeth and Kaya really likes her 😊”
“Christine was very flexible with my schedule and even helped out by bringing Teddy home for me. She is also very caring and Teddy took to her right away. Plus, Teddy had lots of fun playing with Chloe all day. Definitely recommend!”
“Mary was great. We were in the area for an unexpected family trip and wanted to do a little nearby sight-seeing without leaving Bibi alone in a strange environment. She took us on with late notice and was a great communicator through the whole process, which was especially great as we were new to the Rover platform. Highly recommend. Thanks so much.”

I’m working remote as a software engineer for a start up so I’m fully available for any time and any schedule that works for you. I live in a great suburb for tons of space for any sized dog to walk and play and tons of space inside as well.

“Carolyn is so caring, responsible, and thoughtful! I feel very lucky to have her take care of my dog. And he is SO excited when she gets here to walk him! We both think she is amazing!”
“Thank you for walking amber again. She is always so excited to walk with someone other than me and she loves it when you take her to the park. Hope you continue to enjoy Amber”
About: I love dogs of all shapes and sizes! I had two labs growing up and another lab in my early twenties who I still grieve for today. I currently have no dogs of my own so I pour all my love into my friend’s dogs. The dog I had my twenties had behavioral issues and required patience and understanding in a short amount of time he went from being withdrawn and antisocial to a complete love bug! I’m unemployed but I take care of my disabled mom. Because of this I have a very flexible schedule. I have always loved dogs and miss having one of my own. I’m always excited to spend time with my friend’s dogs. I don’t plan on boarding any dogs at my own home. With how my mom’s health is now it wouldn’t be a good idea to do so.
“Julia was wonderful with our dogs, and her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She was incredibly patient, quickly bonded with them, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets. We highly recommend Julia and would gladly have her care for our dogs again! Shannon”
“Had the opportunity to have Jaime watch my dog overnight after using Jaime as a walker. I can tell you we couldn't be more pleased after having Ernie spend 3 nights at Jaime's house.”
“Alphonse is the best! He came today even though it was so cold. Had I known it was below 0 degrees I would have canceled today. Neither Alphonse nor my dog should have been out. They started their walk and Norma showed that she was cold and her paws were suffering. I’m so grateful that he had the good sense to bring her home before the scheduled end to her walk!”
“Natalie was great! She walked Robbie for one hour when I had a long day at work and took pictures and gave him water. Highly recommend Natalie! She is very easy to work with and took good care of my pup”
About: I am a dog lover out of the Chicagoland area, and can’t wait to meet your pups! I currently have two dogs, one’s a coonhound mix and the others a whippet mix. I love them to bits and love taking care of them! I will be on summer break from college starting Monday, May 11th. I work a part time job but am very flexible with bookings and can easily work around my schedule. I am able to pet sit and dog walk your pups. I can easily accommodate and adapts to your dogs needs. Can’t wait to treat them like they are my own!
“Grace was wonderful for our pet. I needed her for an out of town get away! Ariel loved her. Grace was very nice, attentive, and communicative relative to our dogs needs. Thank you Grace! I would highly recommend Grace for your pets needs!”
About: I’ve helped raise 5 different dogs since my childhood, caring for them from their challenging puppy stage into their senior years and every sweet moment between. I’ve also lived with a cat, and love the feline spirit too. I’m currently freelancing as a photographer, so I have a flexible schedule to care for your pets! I am available throughout the work week and on weekends for walks or house sitting. I have a large back yard that is not fenced but I can go out with your dog and/or take them for walks for bathroom/enrichment time. The animal’s safety is my top priority, as is with my own dogs.
About: I’ve been a cat lover my whole life and would love to meet yours! I have 3 medically complex 4 yr old kitties with allergies, autoimmune conditions, urinary issues, and anal gland infections. I administer oral pills and liquid twice daily for them, and have experience with subcutaneous injections. The first cats in my life were outdoor cats in rural Michigan. Some of my fondest memories are of the excitement on the bus ride home from school to play with my cat when I got home. While in college, I raised a kitten with my partner at the time and introduced a second cat a year later. They were both super energetic and loved play time with catnip toys! After that, I adopted a senior kitty who ended up being my first medically complex fur baby. She had her remaining teeth removed recently when I adopted her, but we dealt with chronic ear and eye infections as well as inflammatory bowel disease. A few months after she passed, she sent me my current three medically complex fur babies to look after. My experience with dogs is less extensive, but I’d still love to meet yours! Growing up we’d dog sit for my grandpa’s medium sized dog and my best friend had 2 wire fox terriers. More recently, I’ve watched my friend’s tiny chihuahua for a few days who got along well with my cats 🐶🐱 I am starting a new remote job in digital accessibility. I’m expecting to have flexibility to squeeze a visit or 2 in during workday hours, but am happily available mornings, evenings, and weekends 😸🐾 Your pet’s health, safety, and happiness are my top priority as a pet sitter. Please let me know about any medical concerns, so I can properly care for your pet. I will diligently follow care instructions and provide detailed updates on your pet. I will also ensure your home is the same if not cleaner than when I entered if applicable.
About: “Dog fever” doesn’t even begin to cover it — my girlfriend and I are counting down the days until we can bring home a new puppy. I’m the kind of person who can’t pass a dog on the street without stopping to say hello, so you can imagine how excited I get around animals. I’m a private contractor working remotely with a very flexible schedule. I can shift my day to day schedule and adapt to most needs you may have. I am a very attentive person with patience and much affection. I hope to keep your pets routine consistent & stress-free with exercise, playtime, or just extra attention.
About: I would take my dog out for walks everyday since I was 13 and would make sure she was cared for, played with, and properly groomed I am currently working two jobs part-time, but I am often available to walk dogs (morning, day or afternoon) or cat-sit in my free time. In my home, we make sure our cats are fed at least twice a day and we scoop their litter everyday. When we had my senior dog, we would let her outside often to get some exercise and would bathe her at least once a month when she got dirty.
About: Individual approach - I take into account the needs of each pet, creating a comfortable atmosphere. Responsible and attentive to details - I carefully monitor the diet, walks and general condition of the pet. Love and care - sincere love and care for animals makes my care heartfelt and warm. I work from home. My flexible work schedule allows me to schedule walks and feedings at a convenient time. Pets can feel safe and receive attention when they need it. Animals are not left alone for long periods of time and do not experience anxiety or stress. I have a fenced yard - this makes caring for your pets easier and more comfortable, creating a safe and enjoyable environment for them to enjoy active recreation
“Simba ( American bully mix) and Kekas ( yorkie) had their first walk with Natalie a week ago and it went really good. Her experience with dogs is notable. I have a large and small breed dogs and she handled them very well. Simba is a 60 pounds puppy and I am super impressed how she handled his excitement and reinforce his training. Looking forward to many walks and drop ins. Thanks Natalie 😊💜”
About: I’ve been caring for, training, and owning dogs nearly my whole life starting from childhood to now fostering/watching for friends and family. I’ve also had experience working professionally as a pet sitter. Whether your pup is large or small I’ll care for them as if they were my own and bring all the playful energy as a young adult to provide a fun experience during my time with them. I currently work remotely and have increased flexibility for scheduling needs. Although I will need to primarily be at home during my working hours I am able to ensure your pets are taken care of in a timely fashion without being left for too long without potty breaks. Your boundaries for your animals whether they be rules or practices in your personal home will be closely followed and respected. I bring my years of pet experience to ensure their safety is my top priority when staying with them overnight or providing daily care along with giving them the company they’ll need while you are away.

About: I've taken care of pets ever since I was a kid. When I was in high school, my family hosted dogs of all sizes, including one of my favorites, a Burnese Mountain Dog named Ruby. Lately I've had the chance to watch my brother's two dogs (as seen in my bio pics) when he travels. I work a semi-active full time job over the week, with plenty of energy to spare when I'm not working. I am fully available over the weekends from Friday evening straight through to Sunday! I also am free on weekdays for walks or drop-ins as long as it's before 7:30 am or after 5 pm. Your dog will stay in a cozy, smoke-free condo where they are welcome on the furniture and bed. While I don't have a yard, I love taking long, frequent walks around the neighborhood. For their comfort and safety, I host one family at a time and ask that owners provide the dog's preferred bed or crate if possible
