“Kelly was absolutely amazing with our dog, Quincy! Quincy has an eye condition that requires an eyedrop every night before bed, and Kelly not only administered it every night but also messaged us afterward to let us know it was done, which gave us so much peace of mind. Throughout his stay, we received plenty of photos and videos, and Quincy got to play with Kelly’s dog, Maggie, every day. Maggie is truly the sweetest little host! We would absolutely send Quincy back to Kelly’s house in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitter!”

We were going camping and our schedule was a little off but they made time for us. We received pictures and updates daily and were really pleased.

About: My whole life I've grown up with dogs and other animals. I truly care about pets and their well being. I'm pursuing a degree in animal behavior and welfare. I also have watched family pets growing up. I'm currently without a job so I'm available to watch your animal(s) full-time, part-time, or over night if need be. I do live an apartment, but I have plenty of walking space outside, cat toys and trees for anyone with cats. I'm willing to work on a schedule if you need strict walking times or for feeding. I'm willing to train for free using reward-based training techniques and I'm willing to bathe for free if you'd like.

“Jayne was amazing - definitely the best caretaker I have worked with thus far. Gumbo absolutely loved her and it showed through in all the pictures she sent me (major plus as it makes me feel more secure with being away). Jayne really went above and beyond - taking notes when I was going over his daily routine and even helping me carry back all his supplies at the end of the day. We will definitely be using her going forward and would highly recommend her to other users in the midtown east area. Thanks for everything Jayne!!”

“Jean was amazing with my golden. I loved getting pictures and videos daily and knowing that he was having a great time. My big guy has terrible anxiety during storms and is on a high dose of anxiety medication that sometimes works. When a bad storm rolled in Jean was compassionate and loving and notified me about his condition. As a very overprotective dog mom I trust Jean and we will definitely be using her again.”

About: As a teenager, I took care of 10 dogs, 3 cats, 4 Guinea Pigs, and a bunch of farm animals. I am in the Army and love exercise. I can take your animals on long walks and trips to the parks and getting them tired for your return home. I am timely and will never be late. I am now 27 and currently have a spoiled border collie who is ready to make some friends. I mostly have availability from Friday afternoon at 4:00 PM - Monday morning around 7:00 AM. Aside from those times, I do have lunch from 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM every day and get out of work at 3:00 PM, so I am available in the evenings and nights every night of the week. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly border collie in my back yard. I am also able to crate my dog if needed to allow your pet the freedom to roam around. I also allow the pets inside, so they will not be exposed to extreme weather unless they are going potty.

Her house is very clean with lots of places for the dogs to relax, and her fenced backyard was perfect for playtime. Highly recommend!”

About: Cats have been a part of my life for the past 16 years, and caring for them is truly one of my greatest joys. I've had the privilege of caring for my own cats as well as the beloved cats of family and friends, giving me experience with a wide variety of personalities and needs. From energetic kittens and affectionate cuddlers to independent cats, shy rescues, and senior companions, I understand that every cat is unique and deserves individualized care. I have also volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I helped clean, socialize, play with, and care for cats while they waited for their forever homes. This experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a calm, stress-free environment so each cat can feel safe and comfortable. In addition to my cat experience, I've spent many years caring for dogs, including administering daily medications and working with dogs experiencing separation anxiety and trauma. These experiences have strengthened my ability to recognize animal behavior, build trust at each pet's own pace, and provide compassionate, attentive care. Whether your cat loves to play, cuddle, observe from a distance, or simply enjoys a consistent routine, I'll respect their personality and make sure they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while you're away. My goal is for both you and your cat to feel comfortable knowing they're in caring, reliable hands.

About: Hi! My name is Ramona. I grew up in Clinton, Oklahoma, and my first job was on an alpaca farm while I was in high school, where I fed them three times a week. I graduated from Cameron University in Lawton, Oklahoma, in May 2025 with a bachelor’s degree in public relations and a minor in foreign languages. Feel free to ask me anything! I ran two half marathons in 2025: the Taylor Swift Fun Run and the Spooky Sprint in Lee’s Summit. I love going on long walks, and unfortunately, because of my lifestyle, I can’t have a dog right now. I’d love the opportunity to watch your fur baby’s though! I would be consistently responsible, highly respectful, and proactively communicative with your space. I truly appreciate very clear communication when it comes to understanding and meeting my clients’ preferences.

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover who recently relocated to the USA. While I love it here, I deeply miss the family dogs I had to leave back in my home country. Having grown up surrounded by dogs, I'm so excited to open my heart and home to your furry family member! What sets me apart is the personalized attention your dog will receive. I am currently home full-time, so caring for dogs is my main focus. My husband also works from home, which means there is almost always someone in the apartment, and your pup will rarely, if ever, be left alone. I live in a comfortable apartment with wonderful green spaces nearby for walks and outdoor time. I'm happy to adapt to your dog's unique personality and routine. If your pup loves to stay active, I'd be delighted to take them on walks or runs. If they prefer a slower pace, they're welcome to curl up on the couch with me for plenty of cuddles and relaxation. Having grown up with dogs, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your beloved pet with someone else. I'll care for your dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet your pup! I am home during the day, which allows me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout your dog's stay. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so I can easily follow your pup's established feeding, bathroom, exercise, and medication schedule. I take care of all daily walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My husband works from home full-time, so while I am your dog's primary caregiver, there is almost always someone else in the home as well. This means your dog will have plenty of companionship and will rarely, if ever, be left alone. With our flexible schedules, your pup can enjoy frequent potty breaks, regular exercise, and lots of affection throughout the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood in a ground-floor apartment, which is ideal for dogs since there are no steep stairs or elevator rides to navigate. We also have a securely gated balcony where your pup can safely enjoy some fresh air and watch the world go by. I keep my home dog-proofed, free of hazards, and calm so every guest feels comfortable and secure. While I am the one providing your dog's care, my husband works from home, so there is almost always someone in the home as well. During walks, I always keep dogs securely on a leash, stay aware of our surroundings, and prioritize their safety at all times. I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own.

“Pat took great care of my dog. She has a lot of experience and really cares about animals. This was my dog's first time with Pat and he seemed to have enjoyed himself (even though he was a little uneasy with an unfamiliar environment). I definitely recommend Pat to care for your fur babies.”

Seeing her post on Rover and after our first visit to meet our dogs, it was easy to trust her with our two dogs. They were immediately happy and calm at her home.”

About: I grew up with a dog and loved him very much. He passed away, and the family has not yet gotten another, but I miss caring for a dog. I love all dogs and cats of any size and any animal, for that matter. I am incredibly attentive to animals and always love giving them care, even when they are not mine. I am almost always home and able to pet sit through the day and overnight. I am currently in college, but taking classes online, so I am constantly available to tend to your pet's needs. I am a very active person who can take your pet on walks or runs more than once each day if need be. If your pet enjoys resting, I will also do it with them as I complete work on my computer and will pay close attention to them or snuggle with them if it's what they like. I will care for each pet depending on their specific needs, whether they need to have walks, use the bathroom often, or receive personal care. My home is very safe for pets, as it was already set up for a dog in the past with carpeted stairs and a yard to play in. The yard has a fence around part of it, but it is still open, so if I take your pet outside to play, I will use a leash and keep them in the yard safely separated from any danger. The only other person living in the home will be my mother, who is also an animal lover, but is generally at work during weekdays.

About: Hi, I’m Christine! I’ve been a devoted pet parent for over 30 years, and my love for animals is truly at the heart of everything I do. From playful pups to curious cats and every animal in between, I believe each furry (or feathery!) friend deserves love, care, and a whole lot of fun. I currently have an 8 year old Plott Hound who is recovering from her second TPLO surgery. I spend devoted time with her every day completing her physical therapy exercises and doing all I can to optimize her recovery and golden years ahead. She has been a major part of my life and we have had lots of adventures together! She has road-tripped with me to 21 different states and lived for 6 years in the high desert mountains of AZ. I pride myself on being patient, flexible, and truly attentive to every animal’s individual needs. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a playful adventure, I can’t wait to be a part of your pet’s journey! I am a certified wellness instructor and make my own client schedule- so- I have lots of flexibility and can work with most client’s individual needs. I am flexible and adaptive to each individual pet’s needs and environment. I love walking and am happy to give extra time to take in the sniffs- or enjoy a snuggle!

About: I love all animals and am dedicated to providing you and your pets a fun, safe, stress-free experience. I really miss having pets of my own and I’m so excited for the opportunity to take care of them! 🫶🏻 Though I’m employed full time as a chemist, I work from my apartment several days a week. This gives me a lot of flexibility for walks or cat boarding throughout the week. Evenings are super easy for me too for additional walks or drop-offs! When your cat stays with me, you can be sure they’ll get plenty of love, attention, and care. Since my apartment is a studio, it’s super easy to keep an eye on them. I’m great at following all care instructions, no matter how specific. I just want to do whatever makes you feel comfortable and your pet feel at ease!

About: Hi my name is Nina! I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life and over the last 2 years I’ve truly fallen in love with pet care. I am trustworthy, flexible and go above and beyond for your furry friend. Just as I would take care of my own! I’ve worked professionally as a pet sitter including drop ins, long walks and over two weeks at my clients home. Taking care of your home as much and I do your pet!

I’ve found that home sitting keeps your animals the most comfortable while they stay on their normal routine and meet a new friend! Clients in the past have said I am patient, adaptable, trustworthy and truly go above and beyond for your pup just as I would my own. I’d love the opportunity to gain a new furry friend and hope to take any anxiety away from leaving your baby. I’m currently working as a freelance digital marketing contractor so my days are mostly spend at home. I am extremely flexible when it comes to overnights and walks, accommodating my customers needs. I am happy to stay overnight as needed as well’ I treat your home as if it were my own and my goal is to leave it cleaner than I arrived. When it comes to your pups night routine, I am happy to cuddle up with them or crate the as needed. It’s truly up to what their normal routine includes and I follow!

About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I have worked with animals of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets needing extra patience and gentle care, I understand the unique needs that come with every stage of life. My lifelong love for animals has given me extensive experience with feeding routines, daily exercise, administering medications, senior pet support, and creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while pet parents are away. I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, secure, and cared for in their own home. Whether your pet needs active playtime, companionship, special attention, or quiet comfort, I provide dependable and compassionate care tailored to each animal’s individual needs. I treat every pet like family and take pride in building trust with both pets and their owners. I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to care for your pets throughout the week. I am available 7 days a week for walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and check-ins. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, extra attention during the day, or loving care while you’re away, I have the time and dedication to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide loving attention, fresh food and water, walks, playtime, exercise, medication if needed, and plenty of companionship while their owners are away. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times. I also respect my client’s home and follow all care instructions carefully to ensure peace of mind for both pets and owners.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have been the go to for friends and family members when they travel because I have had such a flexible schedule during my career. I am now retired so I can spoil your fur baby 24/7. I have experience with my "nephew" a very large male german shepard all the way down to my soul dog, 8 lb Ellie Mae and everything in between. Multiple dogs is not an issue either. I have watched up to three dogs all with different schedules and needs. I will also leave your house as clean if not cleaner than when you left. I would consider it an honor for you to trust me with both. I have been retired for five years which means I will only be focusing on your dogs happiness and safety. I have been busy on the trusted housesitters site for over a year and have travelled the US visiting friends and family and falling in love with many dogs and taking care of some great homes. I have plenty of references available for you as I transition to this platform. I currently don't have any animals so I'm able to give yours my undivided attention I will take your lead, and the dogs, as to what you require. I love to walk for miles, I love to be outdoors and play fetch and I also appreciate a good chill on the couch. If you dog likes to ride in the car we can go get a pup cup and stick our head out the window. Whatever rules, requirements or special needs your fur baby requires I am able to provide. I will never be gone more that four hours at an absolute maximum and that would be a rarity just depending if I am in a new area and want to explore a little. If it is local to this Chicago/Northern IL area been there/done that.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been something very natural and meaningful to me. I’ve grown up with dogs and have experience with their everyday needs, from walks and playtime to feeding, cuddles, and simply keeping them company. Unfortunately, I’m not able to have a dog of my own right now, and I truly miss having a furry friend around. That’s actually one of the reasons I’d love to be a Rover walker - I’d be so happy to spend time with your pup and give them the love, attention, and exercise they deserve. I’m patient, caring, responsible, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. I’m available for dog walks on weekends and enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs. I’m flexible with timing and happy to give your pup the exercise, attention, and care they need. I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and care, follow the owner’s instructions, and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy during every walk.

About: Rover Profile Bio Hi! I’m Wing, and I’m an experienced dog caregiver who genuinely loves getting to know each dog’s individual personality, quirks, and needs. 🐶 I had my own dog for 7 years—a large, active, highly reactive dog—and was responsible for his day-to-day care as well as working with him on training and behavior. That experience taught me a lot about patience, consistency, reading canine body language, and helping dogs feel safe and comfortable in situations that can be challenging for them. I also grew up caring for a small, high-energy family dog and have spent years caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I especially enjoy active dogs who need a good walk, play session, or some extra stimulation, but I’m equally happy to provide a slower-paced outing for dogs who prefer to sniff and explore at their own speed. I’m responsible, attentive, and very respectful of each dog’s routine and boundaries. Whether your dog is social and adventurous, shy and cautious, or a little more complicated, I’ll take the time to understand what makes them comfortable rather than assuming every dog needs the same approach. I’d love to help give your pup some exercise, enrichment, companionship, and plenty of attention while you’re away! 🐾 My primary job is working with adults and children with special needs, and I have some afternoon and weekend availability that gives me the perfect opportunity to provide dogs with some extra exercise, enrichment, and companionship. I care for pets by following their usual routines and taking the time to understand their individual needs and preferences. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and other care as needed. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s safety and comfort as my priority, and send updates along the way so you know how things are going. I’m also happy to accommodate pets who need a little extra patience, structure, or attention.

“Kelly was absolutely amazing with our dog, Quincy! Quincy has an eye condition that requires an eyedrop every night before bed, and Kelly not only administered it every night but also messaged us afterward to let us know it was done, which gave us so much peace of mind. Throughout his stay, we received plenty of photos and videos, and Quincy got to play with Kelly’s dog, Maggie, every day. Maggie is truly the sweetest little host! We would absolutely send Quincy back to Kelly’s house in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitter!”

We were going camping and our schedule was a little off but they made time for us. We received pictures and updates daily and were really pleased. Would highly recommend to anyone using this service for the 1st time. Thanks again!”

“Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.”

We appreciate the photos and comments that are sent to us throughout Winnie’s stay. Winnie loves Chisato and enjoys the time she spends with her. Chisato has certainly earned recognition for being a STAR sitter!”

“Hannah's care to my dog was wonderful, the photo she sent to me daily really assured me that Ling-Ling was at a sweet home away from home, that gave me a great relieve to be able to enjoy my vacation as I knew Ling-Ling was enjoying her great vacation with Hannah and her 7 years old daughter. I will book with Hannah whenever I need to if no conflict with her schedule. It's a great feeling that I will not feel anxious to plan vacation at the future anymore because I found Hannah.”

“Thanks to Rusty, I was at ease traveling for a few days with the dogs in his care. Rusty has a dog-friendly space indoors and out and was attentive to the dogs’ individual personality traits and needs. This was the first time I’ve left them with a sitter and both dogs responded well and appeared comfortable. It’s a huge relief to know that Rusty is available to care for my dogs if I need to be away.”

“This was the first time my 10yo dog, Finley, did not have someone stay with him in his own home. Kyle had been recommended to me by a friend’s daughter. We did a meet and greet prior to my leaving, and tho it went well, I was quite anxious about leaving Finn. Fortunately, all my fears were unfounded; each day I received a photo and/or a brief update. Finn was completely fine and quite nonchalant about my return. Kyle gave him his meds, more walks than I do, and I don’t think he was alone once! I feel great about having a resource in Kyle and his family for future trips!”

About: As a teenager, I took care of 10 dogs, 3 cats, 4 Guinea Pigs, and a bunch of farm animals. I am in the Army and love exercise. I can take your animals on long walks and trips to the parks and getting them tired for your return home. I am timely and will never be late. I am now 27 and currently have a spoiled border collie who is ready to make some friends. I mostly have availability from Friday afternoon at 4:00 PM - Monday morning around 7:00 AM. Aside from those times, I do have lunch from 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM every day and get out of work at 3:00 PM, so I am available in the evenings and nights every night of the week. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly border collie in my back yard. I am also able to crate my dog if needed to allow your pet the freedom to roam around. I also allow the pets inside, so they will not be exposed to extreme weather unless they are going potty.

“We were really happy with our decision to have Monica care for our two dogs during a weekend away. She was super responsive, flexible, and accommodating and it was obvious she loves animals and took very good care of them. Her house is very clean with lots of places for the dogs to relax, and her fenced backyard was perfect for playtime. Highly recommend!”
