“Justine, Brett, and family made our little guy feel right at home. If our dog could speak a human language I am sure he’d say to my family, “Hurry up and go on vacation again!” If you need someone to care for your pup(s) look no further, as they are great carers and communicators.”
“Anton and Amanda were wonderful with Griffy! He seemed to have a great time with them and their family! They sent pictures daily and updated me with how he was doing. They kept him safe and happy and were very easy to correspond with. Highly recommend!”
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
“It was such a relief to meet Lynda and Paul! It was our first time using Rover and I was very apprehensive. After our meet n great, I felt so comfortable and knew my dog would be well cared for. When I picked Louie up at the end of the weekend, he was calm and happy. I will definitely use Lynda, again!”
“Valentina was absolutely amazing with Choco while I was away! She took such great care of him, he was well fed, happy, and clearly comfortable the entire time. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and her communication was always quick and thoughtful. What I really appreciated was her kindness and flexibility, she was more than willing to help with a few additional requests without hesitation. It’s clear she truly loves and understands dogs. Choco came back relaxed, healthy, and cheerful. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, highly recommend Valentina to anyone who wants peace of mind while away!”
“Michelle and her family took excellent care of my nervous pup. She went above and beyond making him comfortable, giving him lots of walks, and even gave him a bath when he needed it. Would definitely book again!”
“Kelly and Tariq have become my ‘go to’ pet sitters and I couldn’t be more grateful to them for their hospitality and caring nature of my 4 legged kids. Love the updates and photos! Especially my last visit when they were willing to watch my 3 month old puppy who isn’t yet housebroken. Very appreciative to you and your family, thank you again!!”
“100% positive experience. Wayne provided morning updates, photos, and had a nice home for my dog to get lots of playtime. It was very easy to book and communicate with Wayne. I highly recommend having him watch your dog as I would gladly book with him again.”
“We boarded our 2 little guys with Rosarin for several nights and could tell they were very well cared for. We got updates via the app on their days felt relieved they were in excellent care. Would highly recommend!”
“Susan and David and their son did a fabulous job watching my Maggie while I was out of the country. All of their attention was on her. They were flexible and obviously caring. Their home was immaculate. Their communication was outstanding. Highly recommend!”
“Christina took care of our 5 month old puppy, Mocha, and gave us the best updates while we were out of town :) We’re very grateful to have found a home where Mocha is taken care of and has another dog to play with! Definitely would recommend Christina to anyone we know.”
“Susseth took our last minute booking. She was very kind to our spoiled boy and provided pictures and videos throughout his stay with her. She was on time for an early pick up. We are always nervous boarding our little guy because he came back with a broken foot after being boarded before. He looked happy and healthy on his return. We would recommend susseth for anyone looking to board their pet.”
“I can’t say enough good things about our experience. We were a little nervous to leave our little Penny for an entire week, but Courtney and her family put us right at ease immediately. They were very accommodating to keep Penny’s sleep routine with her crate, and sent pictures and notes twice a day that made our family feel not so far away from our sweet dog. It was such a relief to see her get so much love and playtime with their dog and children. We will gladly use Courtney again should we ever need!”
“Rosie once again has taken very good care of our little "special needs" doggie, Peanut. My husband and I could tell that Peanut was loved, cuddled, walked, and given much attention- of which we are very grateful for. Rosie is also good at giving Peanut his medicine! We highly recommend her to pet owners in need of a sitter!”
“Kira was absolutely amazing with my dog. Thanks to her quick thinking, my dog was able to throw up the toy he accidentally swallowed. She went above and beyond by driving him to the emergency vet and staying to make sure he was okay. I’m so grateful for her care and compassion.”

“Heather has watched my cats multiple times and continues to be top tier. Her updates are always detailed and she seems to enjoy time with them. Very understanding of any adjustments on my end or hectic planning. 10/10 again and again 👍🏼”
“Ashley always does a fantastic job with my cat and fish. I appreciate how she truly cares for my animals and my cat always is very happy to see her. She always goes above and beyond by bringing in mail, watering plants in the summer, etc. I can relax knowing my animas are well taken care of with Ashley.”
“Excellent experience, Ashley was all we could hope for. As well as entertaining and ADL’s for our spoiled cat she proved to be caring and intuitive. Will continue working with her as it relieves our minds, Thank you Ashley”
“Joan is the best! I've had her take care of my 2 anxious cats about 4 times. This time 1 of them came out and was friendly with her, which is huge! She also went the extra mile when it looked like I needed her an extra day on very short notice. I always know I don't have to worry when Joan is there and her communication is outstanding!”
“Vivian has visited our cat on two occasions and does a great job. He is diabetic and she administers his insulin shot twice a day while we are away. She is very reliable and ensures she's communicating any details durijg her visits, etc. Will definitely keep requesting her services for Connor when we travel!”
“Leila was a big help. I booked her for last minute for multiple hours, and she didn’t bat an eye. She just asked where, when and what do you need from me? (In a good way). She completely exceeded expectations and I hope she is available to watch him again in the future!”
“Susan was our first ever Rover sitter, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Our Ted cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes, so it's comforting to know he's in good hands when we are gone.”
“Claudia was so great with our 2 cats! They loved her & warmed up to her right away!!! She is very kind, prompt & so willing to help! Her messages & pictures of the animals while you're away, let's you know they are well taken care of!! Claudia will always be my first choice!!!!”
“Sarah was great with my cats. I have two cats and one is very shy. She usually hides but Sarah sent pictures and I was surprised to see she came out and let Sarah pet her. Sarah is professional and I know I can trust her. I will be using her again!”
“I am so grateful that Kristen was able to care for my cat Sylvester last minute. She took great care of him and he looked very happy and comfortable with her in the pictures. Kirsten has great communication and I felt comfortable and safe having her in my home. I recommend her and would book with her again!”
“Sophie is everything you want from a pet sitter: trustworthy, reliable, proactive, and an excellent communicator. We’ve booked her twice now for visits with our two cats while we were out of town and I’ve never felt so at ease leaving them with a sitter. I know they’re in good hands with Sophie.”
“Stephanie is fantastic. She went above and beyond for our cats, especially since one requires medicine twice a day and had been jumping from too high. She took care of a few small things around the house when a short heat wave came through and we learned that our feeder was empty. Our cats really took to her, which is meaningful for our shy guy.”
“Awesome sitter!! Michael watched my cat Conan for 10 days with little notice given beforehand and did an amazing job! Conan loved spending time with Michael and looked happy and well cared for when I returned. Michael followed all my instructions to a tea and cleaned up all the cat bowls and dishes. He sent me photos while I was away and made me feel like Conan was well cared for. Thanks Michael and I will book him again!”

“Danielle was so flexible, responsive and accommodating to my changing plans. And most importantly, my Ava had an absolute blast! Such a comforting feeling to know she’s being so well taken care of. Will definitely rebook. Thanks again!”
“Justine is so compassionate with my dog. She assured me he would be at home and he is. I appreciate the interaction her family and cats with my pup. He comes home happy and tired. I highly recommend Justine.”
“Michelle was great!! I feel so lucky to have found her on the site!! She went above and beyond, sending me pictures and updates throughout the day. Also, she was willing and patient to work with my dog even though she is still a puppy. I truly felt relieved to know she was in Michelle's hands! I will definitely be using her services again.”
“I’ve previously taken my dog Teddy to 2 other providers on Rover and Darrilyn has by far provided the most exceptional care! She truly cares for the fur babies like they’re her own! I could tell that Teddy had tons of fun at her house as he came home exhausted from playing with the other pup she was watching! She sent picture and text updates and he seemed comfortable with her. 100% recommend Darrilyn if you want someone trustworthy and loving to watch your dog! She will definitely be my first choice in the future!”
About: What sets me apart is that I don’t look at pet care as just a job—I truly treat every pet like family. ❤️ I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and loved ones, and I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can trust. I provide personalized, one-on-one attention and take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, likes, and needs. Whether I’m taking a dog for a walk, stopping in to care for a cat, or welcoming a dog into my home, my goal is always for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and happy. I’m also big on communication. I want you to feel connected while you’re away, so I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can see how your furry family member is doing. Most importantly, I know how much our pets mean to us. I’ve experienced the joy of having them as part of my family and the heartbreak of losing them, so I never take the trust someone places in me lightly. Your pet will receive the same patience, kindness, attention, and love that I would want for my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide walks, drop-in visits, and in-home pet care while still being available and attentive to the pets in my care. I’m able to build my schedule around my clients’ needs and make sure each pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I enjoy having pet care as part of my routine because it gives me the opportunity to spend more time with animals and provide the personalized care and attention I would want for my own pets. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, a cat check-in, or a comfortable home away from home, I’m happy to work together to find a schedule that keeps your pet happy, comfortable, and well cared for. 🐾❤️ I provide personalized care based on each pet’s individual needs and the services requested. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. When pets stay in my home, I provide a safe, welcoming, and supervised environment with plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, exercise, and affection. I also make sure they have a comfortable space to relax and follow their normal feeding and medication routines as closely as possible. For visits in a client’s home, I follow your pet’s established routine and provide everything they need, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, litter box care, playtime, and companionship. I’m respectful of your home and always make sure everything is secure before I leave. I believe communication is just as important as good pet care, so I’m happy to provide photos and updates during visits or stays. Every pet is different, and I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and needs so they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️
“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!”
“Wayne pet sat for us on very short notice. Luna seemed happy and well taken care of during her 7 hr stay. He sent pics through out her visit to ensure peace of mind. I would definitely rebook with Wayne!”
“We were greeted warmly for the Meet & Greet by Sammy happily carrying a toy outside to welcome us into Sonia & Greg’s huge backyard. Wow! What a great yard for dogs to run & play in. We immediately felt comforted by Sonia’s kindness and her confidence and experience handling dogs. Our dog truly enjoyed wrestling & playing with Sammy who was exactly as Sonia described him to be. He was the perfect playmate. Thank you Sonia & Greg & Sammy for sending us photos and taking great care of our dog!”
“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.”
About: We’ve provided care for both our own and others' pets since we were children. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted us to feed, water, play with, walk, and board their pets when they travel. Having lived both in the country and in town, we have both loved and cared for our own and others' cats and dogs for several years in several environments. We both have flexible working schedules, especially in the summer. We have plenty of time to devote to your beloved pet and are used to juggling multiple tasks. My husband and I live in a three bedroom house in Carol Stream, just outside Wheaton. We have a large yard with a 3-sided fence in which pets would be very safe with proper supervision. Pets would be welcome to lay and sleep wherever they are most comfortable - on our furniture, in one of our two beds, or in their own beds or crates. We are animal lovers and have had our own animals in our home. We have welcomed many a new pet into our home, so your pet would receive our love and care while staying at our home.
“Kristina was absolutely fantastic. This was the first time we used a sitter for our little guy and Kristina made sure he was comfortable and gave him enough time to adjust. She was very flexible with timings as well.”
“Maria has been a LIFE SAVER for me. I work full time in Chicago and I needed someone who was able to take my dog M-F but I didn't want to bring my dog to an impersonal day care. That's when I found Maria. I really love that Oliver (my dog) is safe in Maria's home and also able to go to the dog park everyday. When I pick him up he is a very happy and tired dog! I could not have asked for a better situation and we consider Maria part of the family. She treats my dog as if he was her own and for that I am so thankful.”
“Our dog had a wonderful day with Donna and her dog, which included plenty of outdoor play. Donna is patient, calm, and genuinely cares about dogs. We are happy that we found Donna and are looking forward to more visits in the near future.”

“Louie is very particular about the company he keeps. He adores Cherri and enjoys going on walks with her. We were very grateful and very relieved that he has a new friend.🙂”
“Zack was very conscientious in meeting Trixie before our set schedule of walks. He was aware of her sniffing for food all the time and made sure to stop that behavior. We were able to be flexible with our schedule and his. I would hire him again”
“I cannot speak highly enough of Morgan. Most recently, I used her for daily walks for a foster dog that I had. Despite the challenge of walking a dog neither of us knew well, she was always so kind and patient. Her excellent communication skills were also greatly appreciated as I wanted to ensure I was getting any important information on this foster dog. I definitely plan to continue using her!”
“Beth was my first Rover walker ever and I was glad to have found her! She was 100% reliable and was always keeping my pup’s best interests in mind! She always made sure to send pics/summaries of the walks which was nice. I would certainly recommend Beth to anyone searching on Rover!”
“Janet is awesome! Dependable and so sweet with our baby boy. Finding her has been a huge weight off my mind, knowing my doggie boy has a wonderful, loving buddy to exercise him while I'm away. You rock Janet!!”
“Collette has been so good with my pups! So glad that I found her. She is very detail oriented and accommodating. Collette keeps me updated on everything. Thank you again Collette.”

“John was great! Very reliable, came early the first time to meet a get a feel for Trixie’s behavior before her walk. Always on time and very personable. I would hire him again without hesitation. Thanks, John!”
“Annika was great at communicating with us before the scheduled walk/play and throughout the day to let us know how our sweet pup was doing. We will surely ask her to help us again!”
“I was in a last minute pinch and needed a dog walker when our sitter left early, and we were out of town. Kristen responded promptly and was very understanding and helpful! She was easy to communicate with, flexible, helpful, responsible, and trustworthy. We appreciate you!”
“Allison is awesome. She walks my dog, Binx 3-4 times a week while I’m at work, and she’s been absolutely wonderful. She’s also so pleasant and communicates extremely well. She is always incredibly accommodating whenever I need to adjust a walk time and is always understanding. My dog is always excited to see her, It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. I highly recommend Allison 10/10”

“I contacted Victoria without much.notice hoping to get somebody to walk my dog 2 times on a day where I was going to be gone for at least 12 hours. She had never met me or my dogs but took on the task. She was.able.to get my dogs out, hung out with them a bit in my yard, and for their second afternoon session she took them for a wooded hike and to a pet store for treats. She went above and beyond and my dogs were very pleased. Great job V.”

“Darrilyn was an amazing sitter for Ellie. She played with her, cuddled her and treated her like she was her own. Felt reassured the whole weekend that Ellie was in great hands!”
“Our lively viszla pup had a great time with Elise. She was very responsive and caring in the lead up to his stay, and we even had a meet and greet beforehand to ensure we could pass on all instructions… He was well exercised and well loved during the eight days or so that we were gone. We received lots of photos, and he came back with some excellent manners.”
“What a great experience for Maggie and for us. We got lots of pictures, and Maggie was really happy and well taken care of. We'll definitely use Karen again. I think Maggie misses her girls.”
“Lorraine took wonderful care of our Viszla puppy while we were out of town this summer … his experience looked like a stay at a doggy spa. He enjoyed time in the outdoor pool, played in the garden, went on lots of stimulating walks and had a comfortable bed to sleep in. Lorraine was responsive and generously sent us lots of pictures during his stay.”
“Danielle was wonderful. She sent pictures, videos and updates. Ollie had so much fun running around with her and the neighbors dogs. I don’t think he missed us at all! We would definitely use her again.”
