“Sarah and her family took amazing care of our dog Wrigley! She communicated daily with both written updates and pictures. Wrigley had her own vacation while we were away and we could tell she was at ease during her stay. Thank you Sarah for taking such good care of our girl. I definitely recommend Sarah for your dog sitting needs!”

About: Hello my name is Yesica, you can call me Yesi. I am down to earth, friendly, and caring. I am soft spoken and polite, but can be stern when needed. I am a reliable person who is willing to go above and beyond what is asked of me and what needs to be done. I have been a dog owner since I was in 4th grade but animals have always been a great passion to me. I currently have two chihuahuas of my own. They are my whole heart, I see them as family and I hope to care for yours like I care for mine. I want to provide your pet with the most comfortable experience I can. I have helped with dogs from birthing of puppies to caring of senior dogs. I have more experience with small dogs and other small animals but I love to work with larger dogs as well. I am a big believer of proper animal care. An animals well being is the greatest concern I have while watching it. Animals are family, they deserve the best care we can provide. I am always open for constructive criticism, and welcome you to address any issues you may have. I work a full-time job Monday through Wednesday and Fridays 8:45 to 6 and Saturdays 8:15 to 6pm. But after work I am able to give your dog my full attention. I am a big believer of attending to a pets needs to the way they need and you provide. I prefer sitting pets at their homes to stress them out the least possible and keep part of their routine.
“Kent did an incredible job taking care of our senior dog. He was kind and compassionate and did a wonderful job administering his medication. We would definitely recommend Kent for your pet sitting needs!”
“I recently used Ashley to watch my fur baby Lexi while I was out of town and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Lexi had a fantastic time with Ashley and her family. She received so much love and attention as well as play time that she was clearly missing them for the next few days after we picked her up. Ashley was incredibly kind, responsible, and attentive to my dog's needs. I received regular updates and photos which put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying about my pup. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Lexi!”
“So happy with Kaya’s stay at Elise’s house. Her dog and Kaya got along so well. Elise provided us updates throughout the stay, which put us at ease. Definitely coming back for more stays! Highly recommend”
“Melissa is amazing! She kept me updated daily and even sent pictures!! I felt at ease knowing my pup was been very well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her!”
“My usual sitter had an emergency & had to cancel on us. I found Rover.com & Edgar came to our rescue!! He was extremely accommodating with last minute plans for our two pups!! He has a beautiful fenced back yard & family that also helped to make our fur babies feel more at home. I could tell from update photos & messages daily that my boys were being well taken care of. Highly recommended!! Thanks again, Edgar & fam ❤️”
“Lucy stayed with Amanda & Anton while we went on a vacation for a week. Lucy seemed very happy and was well cared for. It was so nice to receive photos and updates. Thank you!”

“110% trust my puppy with Melissa 😁 she treated Bean like part of the family, lots of playtime, puppy snugs, and lovins. I got lots and lots of super cute pics and videos too, Will be booking again ✨”

He sent regular updates with videos and pictures, which made it so easy to feel comfortable while we were away. Maggie got tons of playtime and socialization with the other pups, and she came home happy and tired. We really appreciate the care Robert gives her and will definitely book with him again in the future!”

“Heather is super professional, easygoing and nice. My cat was very timid when he see strangers. But Heather got along with him very well in several visits, and they’ve become great friends in the end. Highly recommend her. Will definitely reach out to her when we have future needs!”
“Absolutely without a doubt one of the best cat sitters we have EVER had. Amberley and her husband Matt went above and beyond to slowly introduce my cats to their new surroundings - to the point where they were sleeping with the cats in a separate room to ensure their comfort and care. They went above and beyond a normal “sitter” service. I would 100% recommend them without hesitation. Communication, pictures, etc. were all consistent, prompt and reassuring. Thank you Amberley and Matt!?”
“Carly has watched my kitty a couple times now and is absolutely amazing! She takes play time seriously and really is present during this time with ensuring she is engaged with my cat. So lucky to have found her, and will absolutely be using her again!”
“It was a great experience working with Dana. She sent me updates and made sure my cat boy Felix was comfortable. I imagine he was disappointed coming back since he won’t be seeing as many animal friends. I would surely recommend to anyone that Dana pet sit for them.”
“Jennifer is absolutely amazing! She stepped in for a last-minute call and took such great care of my cat. She is incredibly caring. It really put my mind at ease knowing she was there. I highly recommend Jennifer and will definitely be booking with her again.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Cat Sitter – Punctual, Responsible, and Caring I cannot recommend Mariela enough! She is incredibly punctual, responsible, and attentive to my cat, Simba. From the moment I hired her, she was highly responsive and kept me updated, which made my vacation completely stress-free. Not only did she take excellent care of Simba—who absolutely adores her and thrives under her care—but she also went above and beyond by taking out trash. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail truly set her apart. Thanks to her, I could enjoy my trip knowing Simba was in the best hands. In fact, I’m already looking forward to my next vacation because I know she’ll take care of everything perfectly! If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy cat sitter, look no further. Simba and I are so grateful for her outstanding service, and we’ll definitely be booking 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!”
“I have two orange tabbies who are set up on an automatic feeder and automatic litter box, so the hardest part about being away from them is finding someone who can play with them and give them food as a treat. I hired Hannah as a cat sitter and she pleasantly exceeded my expectations. Hannah is beyond amazing. She got both of my cats to play with her by figuring out the weird things they each like to do — one is driven by random sounds and the other is a fetcher. Best part was when I walked in, they both appeared to be in a good mood, whereas normally they look stressed after I’ve been away. That’s my measure of how well they were played with. Highly recommend Hannah for cats who need more than just a check-in.”
“I don't know what I would do without Beth. She is someone who always shows up and respects my home when she visits. She cares about my animals and goes above and beyond to make sure they have everything they need every single time. I love her attention to detail and how she always sends photos. Thank you, Beth!”
“I am very happy and impressed with Ashley. She took great care of my cat and fish. I really appreciate that she also played with my cat and washed his food dishes. I highly recommend Ashley!”
“Jennifer always does a wonderful job checking on our cat Vincent. She is so great! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to check on their cat. I’m sure she’s great with dogs too.”
“Paula did a great job with our two babies. We loved that she came onboard at the very last minute to help us. I tipped her, in gratitude, at the beginning. She’s terrific!!”
About: I have experience caring for cats with a variety of personalities, including shy, energetic, and more aggressive cats. Having an aggressive cat of my own has taught me how to be patient, read body language, respect boundaries, and create a calm environment where cats feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience watching other people’s cats and understand the importance of keeping routines consistent, maintaining clean litter boxes, and giving each cat the individual attention they need. I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats and making sure they feel cared for while their owners are away.

About: We lost our cocker spaniel of 13 years about 2 years ago so I love to take care of dogs now that we don’t have a dog to pamper. We care for one dog at a time unless two dogs are siblings or good friends then that’s OK. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park nearby or just snuggle on the couch and chill with them. I realize how important your baby is to you and will give them love, companionship and special care. We love having a dog around. I’m retired and an empty nester so I am flexible and around all the time. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park and Glenbard West HS just down my street. We also like to sit on the front porch in the shade (gated) and watch the world go by. It’s a dead end street; so it’s very relaxed & chill. We are a few blocks from Main Street and town. We love hanging out in the back yard or the porch with our dog guests and take frequent walks.

“My babies are always good taken care of at Dana’s. She responded for same day booking. She is always reliable and we get updates during the day. We will definitely be continuing to visit Dana for all our furry babies baby sitting needs.”
“Kimberly was an excellent dog-sitter, she was attentive and patient with my dog who was apprehensive at first. Nevertheless she cared for my Cofi and opened her home to him. I would definitely have her take care of Cofi again.”
“I bring my Doberman puppy to Karissa and couldn't be happier. Because of Karissa, her household, and her "pack", my puppy is so very happy, calm and socialized around cats, dogs, children, and people out in public. I get adorable updates from her which cheer me up while I'm away at work. Each morning as I pull up to her house my puppy starts barking excitedly and literally runs to her front door. At the end of the day he doesn't want to leave. Not only does she take care of his daily needs, but she goes the extra mile taking him out to stores that allow puppies such as Home Depot for extra socialization. Some people think that having my puppy go to day care is an extravagance, but these months are critical in the emotional development of all dogs. He is going to be my companion for the next 12 or 13 years. Thanks to Karissa, he is going to be wonderful”
“Sadie had a great day with Valentina! Our "get acquainted" day was a success. Thank you so much! We are looking forward to Sadie's next weekend stay with Valentina in a few weeks!”

I have a special soft spot for senior dogs and understand the patience, attentiveness, and gentle care they need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether your dog is large or small, I’m experienced with both ends of the spectrum.

My own dogs have their own comfortable space, and any dog in my care is given a cozy, secure environment where they can truly relax.

Can't say enough good things, we appreciate her so much!”

Our little guy doesn't really like strangers, but he accepted Dana almost immediately at our "meet & greet" - primarily because she is so knowledgeable about dog behavior and reads their body language so well. They quickly became fast friends. Her daily updates & comments are hysterical - it's as if she's simply conveying their thoughts in real time. We will definitely be booking Dana again going forward.”

She was on time, asked questions, took the cutest pictures, and sent us a detailed report to say how the visit went. Our pups can't wait to see Carly again!”

My home has a private fenced yard where dogs enjoy playtime and regular potty breaks throughout the day. When it’s time to wind down, your pup will have a warm, cozy space to relax and sleep comfortably. And to give you peace of mind while you’re away, I send photo updates so you always know your dog is happy and in good hands.
“Gabriela was our life saver! She went above and beyond to help Ivy when I was not able to care for her myself. Our request was last minute but she understood the urgency and truly cared for our baby during a vulnerable time. Thank you Gabriela!”

“I recently used Ashley to watch my fur baby Lexi while I was out of town and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Lexi had a fantastic time with Ashley and her family. She received so much love and attention as well as play time that she was clearly missing them for the next few days after we picked her up. Ashley was incredibly kind, responsible, and attentive to my dog's needs. I received regular updates and photos which put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying about my pup. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Lexi!”

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
“Penny was amazing! I left my pup, Ginger, with her for 2 weeks while we were out of country. Penny sent pictures of Ginger and made sure she had plenty of activity. I even noticed that Ginger had lost a few pounds that she needed to lose! I would highly recommend Penny!”
“Our little guy had another great stay. Kelly and Tariq are very welcoming and kind. Our dog ran right into their house and made himself at home. Highly recommend this family to care for your fur baby.”
“Lori was fantastic with our pup, Shelby. She made us feel comfortable and welcomed Shelby with open arms. She made our vacation stress free knowing Shelby was in good hands and getting plenty of snuggles while we were away.”
“Giselle did a wonderful job boarding my dog while I was gone for a week! She is very responsive and quick to get back via text. I will definitely have Giselle watch my dog again!”
