This is the second time Wolfie stayed with Kim while we visited Great Wolf Lodge. Although he is nervous and doesn't like strangers, he had an easy time warming up to Kim. She sent us many updates of them going on walks, enjoying her outdoor area, and (his lap dog favorite) keeping close while she worked. When he wouldn't eat his usual dog food, she prepared him special food (with our blessing). We always knew he was in excellent hands and will be back for another visit if we head to Great Wolf Lodge or Great America!

We left our pup, George, with Jacob for a week and while we were anxious about leaving him for so long, Jacob put our minds at ease with updates and photos. Jacob truly cares about the dogs in his care and helped make our family vacation even better knowing George was in good hands.

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.

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!!

Hannah was amazing with our 9‑month‑old puppy, Romeo! She took such good care of him, made sure he was fed on time, and went out of her way to keep him comfortable and happy while we were gone. She kept sending us the cutest pics and videos, which really helped us relax on our trip. Romeo clearly had the best time with her, and we’ll definitely be booking her again every time we need boarding for Romeo. Highly recommend her to any friends looking for a super sweet and reliable pet sitter!

Knowing I had to be out of town in August for one week, I began searching for a reliable and qualified dog sitter for my 5-year-old pug early in the summer. Not just any sitter would do! I reached out to friends who enthusiastically recommended Dee and rover.com. Dee had cared for my friend's large dog many times and our friends were very pleased. During the initial meet & greet, I could easily see that Dee was a dog lover and someone who took her role as a dog sitter very seriously. She wanted to know about our pug's routines, personality, and special needs. I liked that Dee cared for just one dog at a time and had a fenced in yard. Dee was very personable and showed a genuine interest in my concerns. I felt comfortable at Dee's place and so did my pug. Without hesitation, I booked a week with Dee through rover.com. My pug, Penny, was well cared during her week at Dee's place. When I dropped her off, Dee took the time to go over the notes I had written and specific instructions pertaining to Penny's care. I really appreciated the daily updates: text messages, photos, and videos. Rover.com made it easy to communicate with Dee and the app is user friendly. The daily communications reassured me that my pug was doing well! Whenever I had questions, Dee answered in a timely manner. Dee is a sitter who will love and care for your dog like he/she was her own pet and I would definitely book with her again! Dee, thank you so much for taking such good care of Penny, even with her anxiety, quirks, and unique pug behaviors. Thank you for taking the time and effort to communicate with us on a daily basis. We appreciate everything you did!

We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care Deidre gave our two dogs while we were away for the week. From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear she genuinely cared about their comfort and well-being. She treated them like her own, making sure they felt completely at home in her space. Throughout the week, she kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which really helped us relax and enjoy our time away knowing they were in such good hands. The dogs looked so happy and relaxed in every picture—it was obvious they were getting lots of love and attention. We highly recommend Deidre to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!

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 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!

I had an amazing experience with my pet sitter! She took excellent care of my two kittens, Panther and Mochi, and made sure they were always happy and entertained. I loved how much she played with them and kept them active. One of my favorite parts was receiving videos and pictures throughout the time she had them. It gave me so much peace of mind. She was truly an excellent caregiver, and I would definitely bring them back to her in the future whenever needed! Thanks so much!!!

About: I've loved cats ever since I met my friend's two cats in, I think, kindergarten. Many of my friends have cats from siamese, to ragdoll, to typical tabbies, annd I've looked over them on many family vacations. My mother's allergic, so I've never owned one, but I did help take care of multiple of my brother's cats when he visited from school, and some strays at school.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old. I have experience with dogs ranging from 6 pounds to 102 pounds. I have taken care of sick dogs as well as large dogs that have trouble walking. I genuinely love and care for every dog I encounter. I have availability throughout the week from the morning to the afternoon (Mon-fri). I am happy to do up to 5 walks a day. I cannot work weekends. I’m very aware when opening a door to not let the dogs escape. I understand that some dogs don’t enjoy their crate and have learned tricks to getting them to enter. I keep a strong grip on the leash in case of a squirrel encounter.

About: As an experienced, full time dog sitter, I'm here to provide your small to medium sized dog a safe, clean, & cozy home environment. If your dog is not comfortable in a kennel, I'm your answer. As a former paraprofessional for children with special needs, and a mom, I have the experience and loving heart to meet your dog's emotional and structural needs. BOARDING: The core of my business is overnight sitting in my smoke-free home environment. Your dog will get my love and attention all day and through the night. No crating unless you request it. Protected mealtimes, proper rest, and outdoor time in my fenced in backyard. Whether your dog sleeps in a crate, a floor bed, or in my bed, I am there with your dog all night long. My mission is to keep your dog happy and healthy, and give owners peace of mind. You will receive photos and updates by text messaging throughout your dog's stay. Check out my photo gallery! Resident dog, Hawkeye, is a "Teddy Bear", (mix of Shih Tzu, Bichon Frise, and Poodle). He does not shed, and is hypoallergenic. His personality is calm and relaxed, except when the garbage trucks come by. 😉 DAYCARE: Offered only as needed for existing customers. CHECK-IN SERVICES: If you have a larger dog or cats, I can stop by to let your dogs outside, provide food and water, & clean litter boxes. On an as needed basis only, not full time. ABOUT ME: I love getting to know and care for guest dogs, and have been living with and learning about dogs for over 8 years as an owner, and over 7 years as a host. A love for dogs (and all animals) is so natural, enjoyable, and rewarding for me. My approach with dogs is based on the philosophy of Temple Grandin's “Animals in Translation” research to fulfill a dog's emotional needs first. Prior to this, for 5 years, I was a paraprofessional with the Special Education District of Lake County (SEDOL). I have experience in ABA therapy for children with autism, positive reinforcement, crisis management, and classroom management. Pet care IS my daily routine. Your pet will settle in quickly as she/he always has a person to depend on, and my friendly dog keeping watch over her/him. Your dog will enjoy outdoor freedom, fresh cold filtered water, protected meal times, comfy beds and furniture for lounging, and a nice lady who cares as much about your peace of mind as she does about your precious pet. A safe environment is a must, that’s why I have a fenced in yard, and a three door system for entering and leaving the house. I keep a clean house too.

Swagata was absolutely amazing in accommodating a last-minute request. I reached out to her late at night due to an urgent appointment the following morning, and she graciously accepted without hesitation. I already knew Tommy was in good hands since he had a great experience with her previously. Throughout the time, Swagata kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind. Her warmth and attentiveness truly show how much she cares for pets. Tommy was happy and relaxed, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and loving pet care. I’ll definitely be revisiting!

About: I have had pets since I was 1 years old - whatever my parents let me get away with (dog, cats, fish, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs). As an adult I continue to own cats and dogs and currently own 2 cats. I will treat your pet as a member of my family while in my care. I nursed my cat to health from losing a kidney and he lived till he was 17yo. I nursed my geriatric dog with eye disease, arthritis until he was 14.5yo. I am more experienced with adult and geriatric pets than babies but welcome all. I am seeking supplemental income due to healthcare expenses. I'm also healing from CIRS/Lyme and need a walking partner to improve my health! My schedule is flexible although I do often have evening commitments with my son and his activities. My yard is large and fenced in. I live next to several walking trails and have a quiet neighborhood. I live close to a dog park and dog beach. I am familiar with crate training and administering medications.

About: Hi I'm Taylor! I have been around dogs my whole life! I live in a house with a huge fenced in yard. My puppies (Emmy, Bowser and Felix) and I are willing to bring love, attention, and play to your fur baby. We have several parks nearby that we walk to and play on a daily basis. I work from home during the weekday, so will be home throughout the day to care for your dog or cat. Your pet will be in good hands under my care. Emmy Bowser and Felix are very friendly and haven’t met a dog they don’t love. I also have a two year old daughter who loves dogs, but your dog must be good with young children. I work from home so I can easily let your dog out for potty breaks throughout the day and take them for walks on a break I have a fenced in yard and a crate if needed. My dogs sleep in the bed with me so that’s fine if that is what your dog is used to

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.

Juliana was a blessing for us and Molly our Labrador Retriever. While attending an out of town birthday party I needed a few hours of daycare for Molly. I originally thought a nearby PetSmart would be the answer however after viewing their confined and noisy facility I knew Molly would not be comfortable there. Juliana was close by, and on short notice, available to care for Molly. While I was at the party Juliana sent me some photos and videos of Molly happily playing at a nearby dog park so I knew all was going well and not to worry about her. Molly and I would definitely recommend Juliana if you're in need of a sitter for your dog.

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: I've had my own dog since he was six, and now he's 14. From his puppy-like stage to being almost 90 in human years, I've taken care of him in all types of physicality. He was my first dog, but I took care of my friends' and neighbors' dogs since around 6th grade. I've taught him everything from shaking my hand, to weaving through my legs. My current job requires me to come in on an as-needed basis, typically on weekends, but only from 9-3. I have all the time in the world! My yard is not fenced, but we do have a long leash/rope that we keep our dog on when outside (he runs through invisible dog fences). My dog doesn't eat shoes and won't go on furniture unless allowed, so at night he just sleeps in a dog bed. I have worked with crate-trained dogs and always do my best to maintain the pet's daily lifestyle.

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!

I have taken care of animals before for other as well as my own pets so I’ll make sure they’re treated well and get lots of love and care!

About: Hi, I'm Chelly! I've always been an animal lover and have had the privilege of loving and caring for so many fur babies at Yuppy Puppy in Lake Bluff for about 2 years! I'm based in the Lake County and North Shore area, but if you're a bit farther out, don't worry, I'm always open to finding the perfect fit. Whether your pup needs a walk, your cat wants a friendly check-in, or you need someone to house sit while you're away, I am ready to help! I love working with animals of all ages and backgrounds, playful puppies, curious kittens, wise seniors, and even pets who need medications or a little extra love. I'm here to attend to your pets and your needs as an owner! :) I have a dog of my own, a sweet doodle named Bambi, and she ignites my love for dogs every single day. I know your pet is truly family and I promise to care for them as if they were my own, showering them with love and sending you plenty of photos so you always know how they're doing. 🐾 ♡ I have an extremely flexible schedule to fit all pet parent needs! I am currently a student in online summer school, but am available Monday-Saturday, 6:00 AM - 5:00 PM. I'm always willing to work outside this schedule for the right person, so don't be afraid to ask. :) When I’m house sitting, my goal is for your pet to feel like they’re hanging out with a friend, not just someone filling in. I pay close attention to the little rituals, favorite toys, bedtime snuggles, and those everyday quirks that mean so much to your pet. I’ll do my best to keep their world steady and familiar, so they can truly relax while you’re away. Your home will be treated with respect, and your furry companion will get plenty of love until you return. I always pay attention to detail, making sure doors are secure, gates are latched, and your pet can explore safely. Whether we’re out for a sunny walk or just lounging at home, I’m watching for every tail wag, ear perk, or sign that your pet needs something. With experience caring for both mellow seniors and energetic pups, I’m flexible and patient, ready to adapt to whatever makes your pet happiest. Your pet will always be treated like family! :)

About: What sets me apart is my background as a Physician Assistant student, which means I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and used to caring for others with real responsibility. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets, medication administration, and pets who need a little extra patience or monitoring. I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, and safety—whether that’s following feeding instructions to the letter, noticing when something feels “off,” or making sure your pet is comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I also have experience with gentle puppy care, reinforcing routines, and providing consistent structure without harsh training methods. Bottom line: I don’t just “watch” pets, I care for them thoughtfully and intentionally, the same way I’m trained to care for patients. Your pet’s well-being always comes first. Weekly Routine: I’m most available Friday through Sunday, which allows for longer visits, flexible scheduling, and unrushed care. I plan my days in advance so walks, feedings, and check-ins happen consistently. Daily Care: I build pet care into my routine, not around it—no last-minute rushing. I follow established schedules closely and ensure each visit receives my full attention. Communication: I’m responsive and proactive with updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how things are going. In short: structured care, flexible weekends, and pets that stay on their routine. I prioritize safety, consistency, and a calm environment. In a client’s home, I closely follow routines, secure doors and leashes, and respect the space. I’m attentive, careful, and proactive with communication.

About: I have experience caring for a multiple different pets. I have been taking care of others pets and my own since I was 14 years old. This includes dogs, cats, and ferrets. I currently own a Miniature Pinscher. This has given me firsthand experience working with a dog that can be energetic, stubborn, and pretty challenging majority of the time. Because of this, I am especially comfortable caring for pets with unique personalities, behavioral problems, anxiety, or high energy levels. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have helped friends, family, and neighbors by feeding, walking, playing with, and checking in on their pets while they were away. I understand that every animal has different needs and routines, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it’s going on walks, providing companionship, administering basic care, or simply giving extra patience and attention, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care and give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. I am currently a college student home for the summer taking online classes. I also work part-time as a server a few days a week, but my schedule is very flexible and I am willing to adjust it to accommodate your pet’s needs. This allows me to provide reliable care, including walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine and will make sure they receive plenty of attention and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and ferrets, including pets with behavioral challenges or anxiety. If I’m caring for your pet in your home or during visits, I make sure to provide my full attention, exercise, playtime, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and responsible hands.

Knowing I had to be out of town in August for one week, I began searching for a reliable and qualified dog sitter for my 5-year-old pug early in the summer. Not just any sitter would do! I reached out to friends who enthusiastically recommended Dee and rover.com. Dee had cared for my friend's large dog many times and our friends were very pleased. During the initial meet & greet, I could easily see that Dee was a dog lover and someone who took her role as a dog sitter very seriously. She wanted to know about our pug's routines, personality, and special needs. I liked that Dee cared for just one dog at a time and had a fenced in yard. Dee was very personable and showed a genuine interest in my concerns. I felt comfortable at Dee's place and so did my pug. Without hesitation, I booked a week with Dee through rover.com. My pug, Penny, was well cared during her week at Dee's place. When I dropped her off, Dee took the time to go over the notes I had written and specific instructions pertaining to Penny's care. I really appreciated the daily updates: text messages, photos, and videos. Rover.com made it easy to communicate with Dee and the app is user friendly. The daily communications reassured me that my pug was doing well! Whenever I had questions, Dee answered in a timely manner. Dee is a sitter who will love and care for your dog like he/she was her own pet and I would definitely book with her again! Dee, thank you so much for taking such good care of Penny, even with her anxiety, quirks, and unique pug behaviors. Thank you for taking the time and effort to communicate with us on a daily basis. We appreciate everything you did!

We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care Deidre gave our two dogs while we were away for the week. From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear she genuinely cared about their comfort and well-being. She treated them like her own, making sure they felt completely at home in her space. Throughout the week, she kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which really helped us relax and enjoy our time away knowing they were in such good hands. The dogs looked so happy and relaxed in every picture—it was obvious they were getting lots of love and attention. We highly recommend Deidre to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!

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 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!

Juliana is terrific! She was very communicative during the stay and obviously loves dogs. Hiccup was very comfortable and almost didn't want to come home.

Halie and her family looked after our puppy with love and patience. They didn’t mind we’re still potty training, chewing what we shouldn’t and struggling with separation anxiety. Our puppy had the best of times and we always got reports and photos of their day. Also, she became available super last minute. The only thing you need to worry about, is that your pet wants to stay with Halie. 🥰. Gracias!

Christine was terrific with Sparky. He is an older dog and she and her family were very patient with him and conscientious with his medication. I would definitely use her again.

Kelsey treated our Pug Millie with so much care and attention daily. Sent photos of their daily adventures together and pampered her with cozy blanket laden sofa resting after her long walks. Amazing care

Matt was very good with our dog. He is near the Great Lakes Naval Base and is experienced with dog foster care. He has a small fenced yard and let our dog socialize with his three dogs. Our small terrier easily assimilated as a member of the family. 5 stars.
