“Fanny is an excellent person and dog sitter, very dedicated. She sent us a daily photo and message with updates about Max. They went on many walks and our cocker spaniel was so happy to be with her. I 100% recommend her, great area and very affordable! Thank you so much Fanny!”
“Pallvi and her family are fantastic! This is our second time leaving our two dogs with them and the experience continues to be great. If you or someone you know is looking for a family to look after your furry friends, my wife and I cannot recommend Pallvi and her family enough.”
“We are so happy with the care and attention that Valerie provided. We received regular updates and videos, and I could tell from her pictures that our dog was at ease and well cared for. Our dog is fifteen so we always worry about leaving her with a kennel where she will be crated most of the day. With Valerie, she was free to roam, got plenty of outside breaks, and got all the good food she was used to. Thank you for taking care of our girl!”
“Patricia was very responsive and sent plenty of pictures. She took very good care of our gentle giant, 7yr old golden doodle, and I would definitely seek to use her services again. She is awesome to work with. I would highly recommend.”
“Can wait to book another vacation for Ginger with Pennie. Pennie was caring and loving, she kept us updated and sending pictures through out Ginger's stay. I could tell Ginger loved her and that she had a fun time.”
“Ashley took wonderful care of our Pepper for an entire week, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was incredibly flexible when our return flight was delayed, which took a lot of stress off our shoulders. We especially appreciated that she was willing to let us pick Pepper up at 1am after our flight - it meant so much to us. Ashley was kind, accommodating, and clearly cared about Pepper’s well-being. We would absolutely book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“We have used Beatrice services for watching our 10 year old Pit Mix multiple times now. Mj loves going over to her house, I know she will be safe and loved and Beatrice is quick to respond and always is sending updates and pictures. She also was willing to add the service of bringing MJ home for us which was a huge help. We will continue to use Beatrice in the future!! Highly recommend!”
“I am grateful that I booked with La Toya. Her services are amazing. She provides updates and pictures and I can tell that she took amazing care of my yorkies while we were away. I will definitely be booking again.”
“Melvin enjoyed his time with Marisol. She kept me up to date with texts and photos. She also purchased optional food when Melvin wasn’t eating his regular food which had never happened before. I’ll use her services again in the future.”

“We had an excellent experience with Gabi. She always showed up on time, followed all instructions/requests with perfection, kept the house clean and showered lots of love on our precious kitty Monroe. Because of her, we were able to actually enjoy our vacation. Thank you Gabi.”
“Laura was absolutely amazing with both our kitties! It was our first time leaving them, one is shy and nervous, the other lives to play- hard! Laura was adept at handling both personalities. She was communicative and thorough. The updates and photos were immensely helpful at setting our mind at ease. Most importantly, both kitties were happy and healthy upon our return, as if we never left. Thank you Laura!”
“Nicolle was incredibly friendly and took the best care of my kitties! I’ve boarded my cats at the kennel before but they had an awful time, I was nervous to let a “stranger” into their space, but it was much more stress-free for them! Nicolle is quick to respond and asks great questions to make sure all of your pets’ needs are met. She also updated after every visit with fun notes and pictures of my girls! I will definitely be booking again! :)”

“Valerie did a great job for us while we were out of town for five days. Our dog, cat, fish, and house were well taken care of. We enjoyed being notified via the app when Valerie started and ended her visits. Her added photos and videos of our animals provided us assurance all was well and were fun to see. We provided Valerie with detailed care directions for our dog, cat, fish, and house needs. It was great to see those directions being put into action via Valerie's photos and videos. Thank you, Valerie, for taking care of our pet family members and home while we were traveling. We greatly appreciate your efforts.”
“Heather was so great with my cats. One of them is pretty shy and he even came out for her for some pets! Heather was really communicative and responsive. I would definitely use her services again.”
“Amy was wonderful to work with -- when severe thunderstorms rolled through, kept us up to date about the state of the house while we were away. Having two similar-looking cats with different dietary needs can be difficult to keep track of, but she met the challenge with aplomb.”

“Pallavi did a fantastic job caring for our 18- month old Goldendoodle ,Bruce. She is very flexible and accommodated our last minute reservation. She made sure Bruce was comfortable and provided regular updates and shared photos.”
“Mike was very gentle and caring with my sweet sensitive dog Penny for a day of doggie daycare in his home. She was struggling emotionally due to our recent relocation from out of state and being separated from me during my workdays at my new job. The big doggie daycares were too much commotion and not enough human interaction for her. Mike provided a quiet, caring and safe space in his home with plenty of attention and support for Penny. He sent pictures and texted updates during the day. He walked her several times as requested. Plus he was available last minute when another person cancelled on us. I am so grateful for Mike’s flexibility and support which gave me great peace of mind. I absolutely recommend him to others and will be back for sure!”
“So incredible! She is very attentive and responsive! We got video and photo updates throughout the day which made me know our dogs were well taken care of! Our dogs came home happy and tired! There is honestly nothing better than that. Cannot recommend Vanessa enough!!”
“Awesome experience! Kimberly was very quick to respond to my request, and schedule a meet/greet. Louis is typically shy at the start, however Kimberly provided great updates during the day as he warmed up. At pick up, Louis was running around all over with her two dogs. Thank you Kim, appreciate you and the warm care you gave Louis!”

About: Over the past year, I have been actively pet sitting for friends, caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities, routines, and needs. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, companionship, litter box care, and following specific instructions to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I used to be an IT professional, retired recently after both my kids graduated from college. Now we are empty-nested with no pets no kids. ☺️ I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days for pet sitting, walking, and playtime. When I am going to run some errands, my husband who is working at home and also a pet-lover will watch the fur baby so he/she is accompanied most of the time. Need a daytime solution for your furry friend? I also provide flexible Doggy Day Care alongside my regular boarding services. For all new clients, the first step is always a Meet & Greet to ensure we're a perfect match for your pup！ My journey into Rover boarding comes from a place of deep love for dogs. After 11 wonderful years together, my beloved dog passed away two years ago. While my heart has healed, I missed the joyful energy, the sound of paws on the floor, and the companionship of a dog in the house. I chose to start pet boarding because it allows me to pour all that lifetime of accumulated love, patience, and spoiling into your furry baby! When your pet stays with me, they won't just be "looked after"—they will be treated with the exact same deep devotion, warmth, and care that I gave my own boy for over a decade. I will only take one pet a time for boarding. Pet will enjoy completely unrestricted, free roam of our home, plenty of one-on-one attention, and a daily routine tailored exactly to their comfort level. Please bring your pets food and treats. If your pet has favorite bed/blanket/toy, bring them, otherwise they can use our dog bed, our sofa and, my bed! Small or medium size dogs (<40 lb).
About: I have been a dog owner for the past 16 years (3 dogs over this time), and currently have a very dog-friendly Bichon frise who is used to playing with dogs of all sizes (her favorites are her size or somewhat larger). My two previous dogs (both Shih tzus) lived to 16 and 14 years, so I am well aware of how to care for more senior dogs. I have a great neighborhood and am happy to walk your dogs with mine. While I have only owned small dogs, I love all kinds of dogs and am happy to welcome yours into my home. I am happy to work with pet owners on any special routines, including sleep, medication and feeding (I have plenty of room in my refrigerator for any special food your dog might require). I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your dogs (frequent potty breaks, walks as desired, etc.). Occasionally I will have to leave to run errands or meet with clients, but I am rarely gone for more than 2-3 hours. Days that I anticipate being away for more than 3 hours are marked as unavailable on my calendar. I have a fenced yard and a friendly Bichon frise to keep your dogs company. While I prefer crate-trained dogs for times I need to be away briefly, I will welcome your dogs to roam about the house and yard when I am at home. I do have several spare crates for smaller dogs, although I have plenty of space for you to bring yours. I am happy to work with each individual dog owner regarding overnight routines.
“Ashley provides a wonderful experience for our dog Bruno every week. All of Bruno’s friends are there each week and the socialization he gets with other dogs is invaluable and cannot be replaced. Thanks to Ashley for the great work she does with Bruno and his buddies!”
“Kendall was great to work with and took great care of our two dogs. She expanded her regular day care hours at a reasonable rate so we could have an all day family outing in Chi town. We would definitely use her services again.”
About: I’ve been caring for my Labradoodle for the past 3.5 years, so I understand how much attention, exercise, and love dogs need. From long walks and playtime to maintaining routines and basic training, I’m comfortable handling active and affectionate dogs. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and making them feel at home. I’m used to structuring my day around my Labradoodle’s needs - walks, meals, and playtime are already part of my routine. Because of that, caring for another dog feels very natural, and I make sure they get the same consistency and attention. I provide a safe, supervised home with a fully fenced yard for play. My friendly Labradoodle gets along well with other dogs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, offer crate use if preferred, and allow dogs on furniture so they feel at home.
“We did not have a lot of interaction with Pennie as our plans were rather last minute. We dropped our dog ioff for the first time early in the morning and picked her up late that evening. Our dog came home happy and very much herself. This is a big deal because normally our dog comes home from boarding anywhere and is unhappy and sometimes even sick from stress. This tells me Pennie went to great lengths to make her happy and comfortable. Would definitely use Pennie again.”
“Adithya was terrific with my high energy German Shepherd Champ. Even on a rainy day he kept Champ busy playing so he was nice and tired when we picked him up. He sent pictures and kept me posted throughout the day. Would definitely recommend him. He also responded very quickly to my request.”
“Jamie & Ritz are wonderful guardians to Maeve. They consistently throughout the day kept me posted on how she’s doing, and Toffee made her feel very welcome in their home. I highly recommend, and I plan to rebook with them again!”

“Laura answered right away when I needed a dog walker last minute because of an emergency situation. She stopped by and met my dog 6 hours before his walk and even walked him later in the night to accommodate his needs. Wonderful job!”
“Amy S. was very professional and responsive. She took time to get to know me and my fur baby. We scheduled a virtual call and in-person meeting. After both, I felt very comfortable and she didn’t disappoint! I would definitely hire Amy S. again!”

About: As a devoted dog mom to Milo, my pup I raised and trained from puppyhood, I know exactly what dogs need to feel safe, happy, and loved. I have hands-on experience teaching dogs essential commands, including leash walking, leave it, and stay, building the good habits and confidence every dog needs. I also have real experience caring for dogs with separation anxiety, helping them feel calm, secure, and comfortable when their favorite human isn't around. Beyond my own dog, I have experience caring for and training friends' and family's adult dogs of various breeds and temperaments. I understand that every dog is different, and I take time to learn your dog's personality, routine, and preferences before every visit. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, playtime, or just calm companionship, I give every dog the same patience, consistency, and love I give Milo every single day. Pet care fits naturally and consistently into my daily routine.

I also offer evening availability from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM for end-of-day walks, feeding check-ins, and bedtime drop-ins. Your pet will always receive timely, reliable care on a consistent daily schedule — no last-minute scrambling or uncertainty. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I always respect your home and your pet's space. During walks, I keep your dog safely on leash at all times and wipe down their paws and bottom before re-entering your home — keeping your floors and furniture clean and fresh. For cat drop-in visits, I make sure your cat is fed according to your exact instructions, clean the litter box thoroughly including the surrounding area, and ensure the space is left tidy and exactly as I found it. I stay within the areas of your home you designate — your space and privacy are always respected. I follow your instructions carefully every single visit, and I always send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy, clean, and well cared for."

Whether it was a potty break, water break, or pictures of my dog she was on top of keeping me in the loop. She was punctual too and was flexible with changing the walk schedule if I needed to for weather.”

“We are so happy with the care and attention that Valerie provided. We received regular updates and videos, and I could tell from her pictures that our dog was at ease and well cared for.

With Valerie, she was free to roam, got plenty of outside breaks, and got all the good food she was used to. Thank you for taking care of our girl!”

She was incredibly flexible when our return flight was delayed, which took a lot of stress off our shoulders. We especially appreciated that she was willing to let us pick Pepper up at 1am after our flight - it meant so much to us. Ashley was kind, accommodating, and clearly cared about Pepper’s well-being. We would absolutely book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

Due to a snow storm my return was delayed by a day and Beth was able to accommodate the last minute change. I would definitely recommend Beth to anyone looking for a great dog sitter with a spacious fenced in yard.”
“Kendall is great! She took excellent care of our dogs while we were out of town and did not have any issue with their special needs and unique personalities. She is wonderful at communication as well. We would definitely book with Kendall again!”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I take that responsibility seriously by providing loving, reliable care and plenty of attention. I work from home, which means your dog will be with me for most of the day. This allows me to closely follow their routine and provide attentive, reliable care. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I maintain a safe, supervised environment and have a friendly Cavapoo who can be a great companion for your pup.
“Our dog Taco LOVES staying with Tyler and how wife (and their two dogs). They are incredibly accommodating and have gone the extra mile to make our pup feel like he's part of their family. Taco is always so excited to go to their home, and you can tell they've created a bond. I know our dog is being cared for AND that he's having a blast. We're so grateful for Tyler and his family! 100% recommend”
About: I have been a dog owner for the past 16 years (3 dogs over this time), and currently have a very dog-friendly Bichon frise who is used to playing with dogs of all sizes (her favorites are her size or somewhat larger). My two previous dogs (both Shih tzus) lived to 16 and 14 years, so I am well aware of how to care for more senior dogs. I have a great neighborhood and am happy to walk your dogs with mine. While I have only owned small dogs, I love all kinds of dogs and am happy to welcome yours into my home. I am happy to work with pet owners on any special routines, including sleep, medication and feeding (I have plenty of room in my refrigerator for any special food your dog might require). I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your dogs (frequent potty breaks, walks as desired, etc.). Occasionally I will have to leave to run errands or meet with clients, but I am rarely gone for more than 2-3 hours. Days that I anticipate being away for more than 3 hours are marked as unavailable on my calendar. I have a fenced yard and a friendly Bichon frise to keep your dogs company. While I prefer crate-trained dogs for times I need to be away briefly, I will welcome your dogs to roam about the house and yard when I am at home. I do have several spare crates for smaller dogs, although I have plenty of space for you to bring yours. I am happy to work with each individual dog owner regarding overnight routines.
“Excellent hosts! The communication was top notch. I received daily updates with a photo of my dog. I was completely comfortable leaving my dog in their charge. My dog had a positive experience with Amanda and Anton. I definitely would book again with this pet loving family!”
“Katie and Timothy took great care of my dog King while I was on vacation. They sent updates and pictures daily which allowed me to enjoy my trip without having to worry about anything. I already rebooked them for my next trip!”
“Justine & Brett were so wonderful and patient with Ramen! He is anxious and can take time to warm up, but they went above and beyond to make him comfortable!”
