“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 our first time using Rover, and we could not have been happier with Jan. She genuinely cared for Niko for 8 nights. I know she made him feel loved and well cared. Our Niko doesn't warm up to everyone easily he’s a 14 year old Shiba Inu he doesn’t like to be alone, but he warmed up to Jan as days went by. Jan was absolutely amazing she took such great care of Niko. I had peace of mind receiving regular updates and photos while we were away. Our Niko came home happy, clearly I am sure he was well cared. We truly appreciate the kindness, professionalism, PATIENCE and attention Jan gave my Niko he’s my first furry child in my family. I know she had a hard time with him because he was anxious and howling a lot, but I greatly appreciate her patience!!! We'll definitely return to Jan for her services. THANK YOU Jan! 🙏☺️”
“Angelica was great. My dogs had only been boarded at their vet before but I wanted to try leaving them with someone. Angelica was so caring and sent me pics throughout their stay. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Bear was so well taken care of with Maria! She sends pictures and videos everyday and accommodates all his special needs. I even last minute had to extend my boarding and she was able to do so with no issue. I know Bear is in good hands whenever he’s with Maria!”
“Another fun stay! Jenny went crazy happy when we arrived. So much attention. This is definitely like a second home for her. Thanks Doug & Deb and family!”
“The absolute best! We do not live close to Kimberly but the level of care and love she and her family give to both our babies makes the travel absolutely worth it. She makes our pets apart of her family and they absolutely adore staying with Kim. Highly recommended!”
“Rob was so great with our dog Rory! He was very attentive and sent along tons of great pictures and updates. She definitely had a great time at his house, playing in the yard, and snuggling on the couch. Thanks Rob!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Connie was incredible! She was so sweet with Rocky, and great with communicating and sending updates/photos. I’ll definitely be using Connie the next time I’m out of town!”
“Joe is fantastic! He is great at providing updates, pictures, videos and always responds quickly. I can trust that my dog is in good hands when Joe is looking after him.”
“Shirley was absolutely amazing with our older pup! He had an amazing time. Shirley went above and beyond to make sure our pups needs were met and that he was happy. She sent pictures and videos and gave us updates regularly. Shirley was the best! Would use her again and would definitely recommend her to others!”
“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.”
“First time working with them and they were great! We felt so comfortable leaving our two French bulldogs with Janette and family. Easy to communicate with and they sent us videos and pics every day! Will definitely book again!”
About: I work from home and my job requires very little actual attention (fortunately). I have a lot of time to dedicate to a pet and the space for it too! I work from home full time, but my job requires very little actual attention so most of my time clocked in allows me to do other things. I am always home unless I have errands, the gym, or appointments to get to. Other than that, I frequently visit my local parks for walks during my break and after or before work! I have big backyard where pets can play and run around! My neighborhood is very walkable and I like to visit my local parks a lot too!
“Jonelle is an absolute professional and very passionate about her work. She checked in regularly with a brief description of daily activities, and provided pics & videos of my pups during their extended stay. Response time was exceptional and was available every time I reached out. My dogs mean the world to me and I was able to enjoy my time away without worry of their care or well being. If you are looking for someone that’s dependable and efficient, Jonelle is definitely someone to consider without any hesitation. HIGHLY recommend. A simple thank you would not come close to expressing my gratitude.”
“Sarah was excellent! She sent us photos and updates of our dog Gus while we were out of the country for two weeks. She was understanding and able to care for our senior dog with special needs. Would highly recommend!”
“Erica was a great host for our dogs! She and her pup Rocky did a great job making Oreo and Lotus feel welcome. Erica was great at communicating and I appreciated her flexibility when our travels got delayed!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Both of our dogs absolutely adored their time with Jackie and her family, our pups miss them already. Every day we received plenty of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious they were being loved, spoiled with attention, and enjoying lots of playtime. They came home happy, healthy, and tired from all the fun. We’re so grateful for the incredible care and will definitely be booking again!”

“I had a great experience with my dog sitter! She did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I would absolutely book with her again! 🐶❤️”
“I was very pleased with having Ray stay with my cat Xena. He is a warm and responsible person. Ray even took extra time to meet Xena and me before my evening out. He also texted me with an update on Xena while I was away. I highly recommend him for pet sitting.”
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.
“Chris was a truly amazing sitter. My cats have complicated needs and both of them were sick for the visit. Their care instructions changed several times and Chris handled everything perfectly. My furnace started leaking and Chris sent me multiple videos, video called with us to fix the issue, and cleaned up the mess. Most importantly, she gave amazing care to my kitties and they loved her visits. She even bonded with my shy guy! 10/10 visit.”
“Extremely communicative & trust worthy! A true animal lover, my very shy cat warmed up to her immediately. This was first time using Rover and Colleen left detailed information about her visits and many took many pictures. My husband and I had a worry free vacation because of Colleen.”
“Karina is amazing - we needed last minute care and she was there. Our third cat never comes out for pet sitters - but Karina is the exception! It’s super great to actually know all three of them are ok! Thank you!!!”
“Nicholas did a great job looking after my cat. She was always very shy and he would make sure to find where she was which would sometimes take a bit longer as she found new hiding spots. He completed all tasks that I asked of him. He was always on time and very professional.”
“All 3 of my cats were happy and well cared for when I got back. She is prompt, thorough and kind. My shy cat was friendly with her immediately which never happens. Absolutely recommend and will book again.”
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.
“Yulissa took great care of our kiddies. All cat areas were clean when we came home, and the bowls were filled. Yulissa also communicated very well. One of our cats needs medicine, and is not easy to deal with. Yulissa always let us know how it went. She clearly established a good relationship with the cat that needed medicine, because she let Yulissa brush her 😊. Overall, we really recommend Yulissa..”
“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!!”
“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!!”
“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 had a great experience with Jackie. She came to our home daily to feed and check on our cat. Jackie was always on time, reliable, kind and cared about making sure our cat was comfortable and well taken care of. We loved seeing pictures she sent. Her son played with our cat which made us so happy and reassured that our cat was getting extra love and attention. It gave us a real peace of mind when we were away. We would definitely recommend her and happily book her again!”
“Odalys went above and beyond with my five cats while I was on vacation. She updated me at every visit as to how they were all doing. My cats enjoyed her company. She followed all of my instructions. I would definitely have her take care of my cats again when I go on my next vacation...without hesitation!”

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
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.
“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.”
“My dog Coco had a wonderful time with Emily and Amy and their dog, Pepperoni 🌶. I would certainly recommend Emily to anyone needing doggy day care. And I will certainly bring Coco again.”
“Jackie saved the day, offering to sit for my dog CoCo when the other sitter failed to come through for me. She is kind, thoughtful, responsible, and communicative, and I love her Black Cat! I recommend her whole-heartedly. :)”
“Our pup loves going to Erica and Ricardo’s for daycare. She’s an anxious girl, but she gets so excited when we pull up and runs into the house as soon as we get there. She gets lots of playtime and love, and we get cute pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend them!”
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.
“Rhae was very responsive, kept me updated during my dogs' stay, my dogs seemed happy! She took the time to walk them a few times while they were there just for the day. Very easy to work with, definitely recommend.”
“We could not ask for a better first experience. Tanya took excellent care of our new puppy. From potty breaks to play times she was there with him sending updates and pics. We were able to enjoy our night knowing he was in good hands. Thanks again.”
“Arlene pup-sat our lovely 3 month old puppy, who came home happy and tired. I would recommend her for all ages. She is a warm, caring person and I felt that our pup was in good hands.”
“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”
“Janessa was absolutely amazing! Her communication to understand my dog prior made me feel so comfortable, and the attentiveness/updates while Berkeley was at her home made me feel so reassured and trusting. Janessa’s home is the perfect place for your doggo to spend time at - I absolutely recommend you choose Janessa for your fur-paninis’ needs!!”
“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!”
About: We are the proud owners of an adorable dog (Ace) and are adept with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Everyone in the house (Micah and I) work from home full-time, so the dogs will never be left alone. Ace is always great host and will have a lot of fun with his new furry friend 😊 Ace (a miniature poodle / Bishon mix) can mingle with any visitors but can be separated upon request. Please bring dog beds and food. We can’t wait to host your little friend! We work from home full time and plenty the time to dedicate to watching and playing with the pups! Morning walks, afternoon potty breaks, whatever the dogs needs are will be met. Fenced in backyard and large park across the street for long walks. Perfect environment for your dogs staycation! As a proud dog owner ourselves, the pups are never far from our minds and will get plenty of attention…maybe too much lol
“1st impressions is everything. It was Friday and we needed a puppy sitter on Sunday for Kira. Our first time using Karina and she took our Kira with open arms and a smile. Taking care of Kira included not just feeding and potty breaks, but also socializing with her dogs and a couple of videos of play time. THATS LOVE! Highly recommend her for puppy/dog parents who want a pleasant experience for that special member in the family. When we took Kira home, she was so exhausted from the fun she had with the other dogs, she was asleep for the rest of the night.”
“Sarah accommodated my daycare request at short notice and I couldn’t be happier to have chosen her! Both my little pups have special needs and she put me at ease with her communication and multiple photo updates. She was very thorough with understanding their care and I will absolutely use her services again next time we’re in town. Highly recommend if you are looking for a professional pet lover! Thank you, Sarah!”
“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.”
“Marissa went above and beyond taking care of Theo! She took him on a 3 mile walk, sent lots of pics, and was understanding about a late pickup. Thanks Marissa!”

“We cannot say enough about Nicholas . He has gone above and beyond in the 4 weeks that he has taken care of our beautiful pup. His communication and ability to adjust to our everyday needs are superb! Thanks Nicholas we look forward to keep having you be part of Midas’s life”
About: I’ve cared for 7 dogs and 2 cats throughout their full life span, from puppyhood and kittenhood to senior years, including pets with special senior care needs. I’m confident handling large dogs and focus on structured walks, mental stimulation, and enriching playtime. As a psychotherapist, patience, intuition, and compassionate care come naturally to me. My schedule is very flexible I'm currently part time and work from home. I can be available on notice from 9am-10pm. I am able to do daily and weekly care/walking/play. I have a fenced yard. Two cats who are used to visitors and other animals. I can also crate animal if requested, use baby fence and adapt to living requirements specific to client needs.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, they’ve always held a special place in my heart. From dogs and cats to horses and more, I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, explore, or simply enjoys calm company, I’ll care for them with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own fur babies! As a licensed esthetician, I create my own schedule & have the flexibility to work around your pet’s routine, making scheduling stress free for both of us. You can count on me to be dependable, respectful of your home, and to keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving, capable hands. Pet care has always been a natural part of my day to day routine because I’ve grown up around animals & have cared for pets for majority of my life. I work part time as an esthetician, meaning I can create my own schedule, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for walks, visits, & overnight stays! The pet’s safety, comfort, & routine would be my highest priorities. I like to take the time to learn each pet’s personality, feeding schedule, medications, favorite activities, etc so they feel secure and cared for. I have experience being around cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every animal has different comfort zones and boundaries. Whether your pet is shy, playful, independent, or needs extra patience, I always respect their pace. I’ll l keep your home clean, follow your instructions carefully, & provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your furry family members are doing.🐾
“Suzanne has been wonderful for Prince. She is timely, energetic, and takes him on long walks. It's very helpful knowing someone who cares about dogs is in my neighborhood.”
“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!”
About: 23 years of dedication & genuine love for what I do. I've pretty much done it all except for training. Primarily grooming but also have extensive experience with walking, boarding, day care, home/vacation visits & house sits. I've been a home groomer for the past 8 years but due to allergies, need to switch modes. Over those years I regularly attended workshops & seminars to continue to educate myself & hone my craft. Including certification courses in puppy handling, senior care, proper sanitization, business compliance, skin assessment, & CPR. This only means I have been educated on these subjects, I am not an expert. As mentioned, I was a home groomer so I'll be turning my grooming room into an area for daycare/boarding. I am home based and plan to stay that way. Pets in my home will have a designated area for eating & sleeping but will have freedom to walk about for the most part. I have a large, fenced back yard with plenty of space to run & play. The yard will be the primary potty area. Walks are available for an added charge. Caring for pets in the clients home will be based on the instructions given by owner.
“Joshua was wonderful! He responded right away and was flexible when I switched some of the details last minute. I'll definitely be using him for walks in the future. Thank you! :)”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I helped care for my brother's dog by taking him on walks, feeding him, bathing him, taking him to the park to play fetch, and making sure he was always happy and comfortable. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I'm patient, caring, and attentive to their needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with company, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I'll treat your dog like they're part of my own family. Pet care fits well into my daily routine, and I have the flexibility to provide consistent attention and care. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, or companionship, I'll make sure they receive the care they need. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I'll do my best to follow their normal schedule so they feel comfortable and happy while you're away. Your pet's safety is my top priority. My home is pet-friendly with a fully fenced yard for safe play and a deck where pets can relax in the sunshine. I'll follow your pet's routine, give them plenty of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care.
About: I’ve grown up and taken care of dogs ever since I was little. I would say I’m knowledgeable on dog training and have a lot of experience with all different types of dogs. I love to walk and pet pups so hopefully we can be good match!! I’m currently working part-time in the afternoon (3-6) so I have lots of free time to check in or walk your pet. I have owned Goldens my entire life so training a high-energy dog is something I’m experienced in. I’m all about creating a safe and enriching environment for dogs, so I’m open to adapting to your pets daily routine.
About: I grew up with cats and have taken care of them my whole life, and I am now a full-time pet sitter! I have lived with dogs and done some care for them as well. I currently have a rabbit, rats, a frog, a gecko, and a jeweled lacerta, so I'm well-versed in pet care and in balancing multiple pets' needs! I am also experienced giving meds to rats, frogs, dogs, and cats, as well as caring for rabbits. I am a former librarian, but now I pet sit full-time, so I have a lot of daytime availability to take care of your pets! I'm very careful to triple-check that I'm following all the instructions I am left. I never want to leave out an instruction, since you know your pets best! I always make sure to give pets as much love as they want, but if your cat is shy, I'll give them their space! Please inform me in advance if anybody will be in the home while I am there. This does not preclude me taking care of the pets, it is just informational. Thanks! I pet sit full-time, so I have a lot of availability at all times of day, all week long. Just let me know what time you need and we'll make it work! I don't provide in-home services on Rover. However, my own pets get a lot of enrichment and as much attention as they want to have.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I’ve raised many puppies and taken care of them into their senior days. I’ve provided pure love, safety, care, and tons of cuddles with many many many doggies. My own throughout my entire life, and for many friends, neighbors, family, and clients. My schedule is pretty open and flexible right now. So I’d have all the time to give your pups all my time and attention. Availability 7 days a week. I have a fenced yard. A safety gate blocking the stairs to the basement so no little doggies that might have trouble slipping on stairs can get to them or the basement. A dogs safety is always my utmost priority.
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 😀

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
“Karina has been one of the top consistent walkers over the past year. Maisey simply adores her and we are blessed she is part of our routine. I would highly recommend her.”
About: Hi, I’ve been taking care of Dogs and cats for over 40 yrs. I have always grown up with my pets I really do like cats and dogs there not a animal I don't like .Dogs and cats flock to me I know how to walk feed and give a bath oral and syringe medication and entertaining your fur baby. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to pamper your fur baby taking them on walks feeding playing cuddling talking to them. I have a house with a back yard I am very trustworthy, and I know a lot about animals ill treat your fur baby like my own.
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: I have previously worked in a dog and cat daycare, boarding, and grooming center for three years, and have watched pets of family friends since 2018. I have owned and cared for dogs, cats, snakes, birds, and more, and my family regularly fosters kittens! I am comfortable with feeding, giving medication (not injections), walking, and providing care for all types of pets. My schedule is available for overnight care at your home, daily drop-ins, single visits, or walks. Please ask me about any accommodations you may need and I will see if I can provide them. In your house, I am happy to follow any instructions about leashed or unleashed time on walks or in your backyard, will feed on your schedule, and can spend time with your pet as much as you need. I am happy to try and accommodate any changes you may need to make, give updates with photos, and tell you any behavioral or medical changes as soon as possible.
“She is the dog whisperer! My friend and her dog came into town so we could attend a funeral (very last minute) and she was so accommodating to our needs. The dogs were a handful for us and we worried (needlessly) how they would do with a walker. It was such a relief to get a detailed message and pics of how well it worked out! She managed to walk both dogs at the same time (something we couldn't master with the 2 of us!) and they got a lot of energy out. I will continue to use her services in the future and highly recommend Rochelle and her sister Chris.”

“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!”
“Rob was so great with our dog Rory! He was very attentive and sent along tons of great pictures and updates. She definitely had a great time at his house, playing in the yard, and snuggling on the couch. Thanks Rob!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Joe is fantastic! He is great at providing updates, pictures, videos and always responds quickly. I can trust that my dog is in good hands when Joe is looking after him.”
“Jonelle is an absolute professional and very passionate about her work. She checked in regularly with a brief description of daily activities, and provided pics & videos of my pups during their extended stay. Response time was exceptional and was available every time I reached out. My dogs mean the world to me and I was able to enjoy my time away without worry of their care or well being. If you are looking for someone that’s dependable and efficient, Jonelle is definitely someone to consider without any hesitation. HIGHLY recommend. A simple thank you would not come close to expressing my gratitude.”
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.
“It was our pup's first time with Camille and she was well-taken care of. Our dog can be shy and slow to warm to new faces but by day two she was on her back getting belly rubs on the couch and loving it.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing! She sent regular updates and even taught my puppy how to use the stairs. She has an awesome backyard and cozy home for pets to enjoy and lots of experience, she even has a vet background the moment she held my puppy she knew he had a hernia which I did not even know until a vet told me and I did not inform her she was smart enough to notice on her own.”
About: I have a degree in veterinary assistant, and I also ran my own dog-walking business for 10 years before 2020 hit. After 2020, I started taking my clients' dogs into my house when they went on vacation. I have loved animals my whole life. I do have a Bird that is 15 years old. I have two boys, ages 5 and 9. My oldest son has autism and loves every dog that comes into our house. My youngest loves to spoil the dogs that come to the house. I only take one dog family at a time, so you know that your dog will be taken good care of and have all the love. I am a stay-at-home mom. I am home all the time. I take the kids to school and pick them up. I will be with them the Whole time they are here. I go for walks with the dogs three times a day, sometimes more if they need to go outside. I do live in a house with a basement, so they have free roam of the house. They have plenty of room to roam around.
“So this was our very first time using the Rover app and services. Ms. Cheryl is one of the best pet sitters ever! She did an amazing job with making sure our Rocky was well-cared-for. She sent pictures and updates and any questions she had, she sent them to us before doing anything that could cause Rocky any stress. She also gave us grape tips ,advice and suggestions for how to better care for Rocky as a husky breed. She gave us such a great experience that we will definitely use her in the future. Ms. Cheryl, you rock!”
“This is the 2nd time we’ve used Eniya - she is very responsive and kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout my dog’s stay at her house. Also took him for walks even though it was soooo cold! 🥶 Will definitely call her again!”
“Arlene did such a great job watching our dog while we were out of town, especially, since our dog gets a bit anxious being away from home. Our dog was healthy and happy when we picked her up compared to when we've boarded her in the past at a daycare center. Arlene has such a caring and calm attitude with our dog, which helped so much. We will continue using her for daycare and boarding.”
“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!”
“From the moment we met Lana we knew our puppy would be in good hands. We were going to be out of town for 4 nights, so we were a little nervous (since our pup is very energetic and can be a handful) but Lana left us at ease with daily pictures and updates. Maddux came home worn out (probably from all the playtime with their dog) so it was nice to know that he had a buddy the whole time. We would not hesitate to leave him with Lana again in the future!”
“Love that my dog was released outside every hour, made me feel confident that he would have a good time. Lyn was nice and considerate! She gave me honest updates while my dog boarded with her. I was pleasantly shocked when I came to pick up my dog and he looked like he came back from the salon all clean and paws trimmed, thank you so much, really made my month since I was gonna wash him myself when I picked him up and I didn't need to! Appreciate it :)”
