“Mercedes and her family were the best caregivers I could have asked for! I had to leave my 9 week old puppy for 6 days and I felt so comfortable with the level of care she was provided. I got multiple daily updates and photos of my little Luna playing with Mercedes, her cute pup, and her children. They had all the toys, bedding, and comforts my puppy needed. I loved it and it made me feel very confident with my decision in booking, I was worried she would want to stay there forever. :-) Mercedes and her family were very kind, sweet, genuine people and I’m so grateful for them! I will 100% be booking with Mercedes again. Thank you!”
“Cary and her daughter are wonderful. Mac was there for a week and made himself at home. A nice fenced in yard and he was treated as one of the family. I highly recommend.”
“Omg so this was the first time I left my dog Mamba with someone else. I was extremely nervous because she has never been around anyone else but me. I wanted my dog which is basically my child be with someone who would watch her like I would if I was gone . Susseth was amazing and reassuring that my dog would be watched out for. She allowed time to ask enough questions and gave us updates as well. I enjoyed receiving videos and pictures since they called my nerves as well. I will definitely be rebooking her for my upcoming 12 day trip. My worries are put at ease. Thank you again Susseth !!!”
“Great experience with Kyla, it was my first time using the service for my Teddy and I was really nervous to not have him with family who normally watch him and since my daughter was moving same weekend(who normally has watched him) I said let me read reviews and go with it. Kyla kept me informed on Teddy’s progress with pictures and videos and my boy seemed happy to be there. I will use again in future for upcoming trips.”
“Tanisha was AMAZING. Her commutication was awesome and my dog loved her visit. Tanisha helped My dog with her socializing skills and made sure to send me plenty of pictures and videos. I highly recommended Tanisha and will be back!”
“Serena watched our 6 month old puppy at her house for a week, and he had a great time! She communicated with us every day, and we felt very at ease and able to enjoy our trip without worrying. She also has a very sweet dog who kept him company during his stay.”
“Maria is the absolute best! We have worked with Maria a few times and she is our favorite resource for boarding. She is outstanding with our 2 dogs. One of my boys is a senior and requires gentle care. Maria goes above and beyond to meet the needs of my boy. She is so communicative and cordial. Truly the gold standard!”
“First time using Rover and I will tell you that you can't go wrong with them findimg you a trusting and loving sitter for your fur babies. I picked Ann because of her great profile. Conversation and our meet and greet. She and her entire family are amazing. Their love for their own animals and our baby was outstanding. They told us about their history with their own fur babies and it showed us how much love they have in their hearts and home for all. I would pick them every time to take care of my Cara. Cara adapted immediately with their babies and with each of the family members. They updated us with pics and even a photo shoot that their daughter did. So cute and loving. Cara hugged Ann and gave her her approval immediately. When we picked her up she was with Ann's husband and they were love love as we call ot w Cara. We couldn't be more blessed to have Ann and her family be part of Cara's life. They have become part of our family as well. If you are looking for a sitter Ann is the best. The accommodations with her lovely yard and loving home you can't go wrong with. She will give you the peace of mind that your baby will be in great hands. Thank you Ann and her Family. Thank you Rover for finding great people like Ann.”
“OMG!!! Connie was the best -mom away from home- I could ask for!!! Juiji and Jojo were so cute. Connie made sure Juiji was comfortable and that I was sure she was safe, behaving, and co-mingling. Her photos of Juiji should be in a doggy magazine! I could not have asked for a better -mom away from home- and she's the best and she's around the corner from me. So grateful for her!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND CONNIE?♥️??”
“Katarina was so patient with Luna and I appreciated the whole process from the intro to the pick up!! She made me and Luna feel extremely welcomed and shared plenty of pictures. I would absolutely use her again and would recommend! 10 out of 10, no notes!”
“Emily was very responsive and kept me up to date on how things were going with lots of pics/videos. It’s our second time booking and feel very confident our dog feels comfortable/safe with her!”
“I left my dog with Dara for 2.5 weeks and I did not worry about him at all. Finding a good Rover is tricky especially that my dog is reactive and can’t stay with other dogs. She consistently sent updates with photos and I loved hearing about his little quirks! I appreciate her celebrating his birthday too! I can tell that my dog had a great time, we highly recommend Dara!”
“Lorraine took great care of Pucci! She is welcoming and very attentive to his needs, as well as having a nice yard for some outside time. We received frequent photos as always feel assured that he is in great hands when we are out of town :)”

“Desiree is really great with our cat. He is very picky but took to her right away! She came to our home twice every day as planned and left me helpful status updates and photos. We will definitely request her services again!”
About: While I haven't owned a cat myself, I've always loved being around them and have experience caring for the cats of friends and neighbors. I've learned that every cat has their own unique personality, preferences, and routine, and I enjoy taking the time to earn their trust and make them feel comfortable. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, quiet companionship, or simply having someone keep their routine consistent, I'll make sure they receive attentive, loving care. I'm happy to provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, administer basic care as instructed, and give them plenty of affection—or space, if that's what they prefer. I understand that pets are family, and I'll care for your cat with the same patience, kindness, and respect I would want for my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away by making sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I’m a pet lover excited to offer caring, reliable pet sitting and walking services. While I’m just starting out, I bring tons of energy, love, and attention to every pet I meet. Your pet’s happiness and comfort are my top priority, think of me as their new favorite buddy. I’m currently a part-time home caregiver who has a passion for learning and loves spending time with pets ☺️ I currently do not have pets at home so spending time with yours is the highlight of my day. I treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own and your pet like family. I bring a genuine love for animals, attention to detail, and a calm, caring presence. I’ll follow your routines closely, keep you updated, and make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved.

About: I'm a pet care provider with over 10 years of professional experience in caring for all kinds of animals. I've owned and cared for cats my whole life. I have worked with a TNR rescue the past few years getting pregnant females and unneutered male cats fixed and cared for. I have experience providing subcutaneous fluids as well as oral and topical medications. I have cared for bottle-fed kittens, ailing senior cats and everything in-between. I always care for every animal as if they are my own and I understand how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable and loved.

“Patrick did a great job with our cats! He was on time to feed them every day and sent us pictures each day as well. We were very comfortable leaving our boys with him! We definitely call him again!”
About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, especially dogs, and finally welcomed my own pup, Leia, into my life five years ago. Since then, I’ve handled all of her training, walks, feeding schedule, etc., myself. I learned a lot from years of watching "It’s Me or the Dog," and put what I've learned into practice with my dog, Leia. What sets me apart is my mix of genuine love for dogs, hands‑on training experience, and a calm, reliable presence. I’m excited to meet your pup and give them a walk they’ll remember; one that’s safe, stimulating, and tailored to their personality. I am a college student at DePaul University, majoring in Finance and Criminology. I commute on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I am free to walk your furry friend any day that isn't Tuesday or Thursday :) I have one energetic five-year-old Wheaton terrier whom I have trained by myself. I walk her at least once a day, feed her, play with her, and train her when time allows. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your established rules and routines to ensure your dog feels comfortable and stress‑free. I pay close attention to safety — from securely leashing during walks to double‑checking doors, gates, and feeding instructions. My goal is to treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I give my own.

“Great experience with Ethel. We came in from out of town to watch a Red Stars game and she took care of our bernedoodle, Frankie. Ethel’s place is a very short way from SeatGeek Stadium and Frankie came back to us happy.”
“Mercedes is incredible with our puppy Ellie! I could not recommend a better sitter! She keeps us updated and sends pictures as much as possible! Ellie has come back very happy both times that Mercedes had her! I cannot wait to continue working with Mercedes!”
“Michelle is amazing, the absolute best! I felt so comfortable leaving my pup with her. She is extremely patient and accommodating. When I was late on pickup due to my crazy hours as a nurse, she was extremely sweet and flexible. My puppy is young and still learning and she was very adaptable with her. I love that my pup was able to socialize with her little ones which allowed her to have fun while getting some energy out. I’m so happy to have found someone that loved and cared for my girl as much as I do! I highly recommend her and will be using her again for daycare!”

About: What sets me aside from other sitters is the love i have for animals. Since i was a little girl I've always loved being around animals they were and still are very therapeutic to me. I've had big dogs from Pitbull's, Dobermann, American bullies, all the way down to tiny dogs; yorkies, shitzu etc. even different kinds of cats you name it. As I've gotten older I've gained sooo much experience to the point I've had at home births with my dogs and cats all by myself; even home training my own animals as well. My goal here is to gain a work related reputation where i can truly start doing what i love and make a name for myself until i can become that super Veterinarian I've always dreamed of being. So far all i have is personal experience with dealing with animals at home and at my job(My residents animals). This would truly mean a lot if i can show off my skills and how genuine i am with animals and even people. Pet Care currently fits for me during the week days. I work doubles every Saturday and Sunday; whereas for school i do online Vet courses which is self pace. Which means i am free during the week Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm if communicated at least at least 30min-1hr in advanced i could stay later if needed. Although, I am a mother which means i can not do any services past 7pm nor any over night services. I also am located downtown Chicago but I am willing to travel!! One thing about me i will spoil your baby(s) haha; I am very hands on and affectionate with animals unless they require space lol. I have never been a crate animal person BUT i know every household is different and every animal requires different training. Again, animals bring a lot of joy to my heart; very therapeutic for me and if given the chance you wouldn't be disappointed i promise!.
“My dog loves Raymond and his wife Monica! They send great pictures of her while she's there; she's happy to go in and tired (in a good way) when we pick her up.”
“Ruben was fantastic with communication and care of our dogs. Thank you so much for caring for our babies as a part of your family and for the updates throughout the day. We will be rebooking for future use as the need arises. :)”
“Highly recommended! Desiree did a fantastic job watching our two dogs. Even though it was a gloomy, rainy day, she kept our pups happy and comfortable. Her place was very clean and well kept. She also sent pictures and a report. We will definitely book with Desiree again!”

About: 𐂯 Meet & Greets ฅ ฅ Detailed updates with photos/videos ᵔᴥᵔ Puppies, senior pets, anxious dogs & medications I've had pets my entire life and currently have two huskies who are a big part of my life. I've also cared for pets for family, friends, and neighbors, and I've volunteered at animal shelters, where I spent time with dogs of different ages, temperaments, and backgrounds.

My goal is to eventually work with animals full-time, and Rover gives me the opportunity to do more of what I love while helping people in my community. I enjoy figuring out what makes each pet feel comfortable and loved! Adjusting to them instead of expecting them to adjust to me.

In your home, I'll respect your space, follow your care instructions and routines, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable.
“Amanda is awesome with our dog Leyla! This was our first time using Rover and it could not have been a better match. She is nearby, flexible and takes the extra time and effort to ensure our puppy gets in some good, quality, fun exorcise for the day. She is very experienced with animals of all kinds and makes me feel confident that my pup is in good hands. Highly recommended!”

About: I've owned and cared for all kinds of animals my whole life. Professionally, I have experience working as a dog handler, kennel attendant, dog bather, and groomer. I also have extensive experience working and caring for cats, horses, and various small animals. My +3 years working at a dog daycare facility had me safely handling a pack of up to 25 dogs; providing exercise & engagement, soft corrections, and positive reinforcement. To do so, it was necessary to be observant and in tune with the dog's behavior and always on the lookout for any signs of stress or aggression. As a bather and groomer, I was focused on hygiene but a large aspect of the job relied on my knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques. I've owned cats my entire life and have worked with a TNR rescue the past few years getting pregnant females and unneutered male cats fixed and adopted. I also have pet care insurance with animal baliee coverage in case of emergencies. I always care for every animal as if they are my own and I understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable and loved. I work part-time on the night shift, so I'm usually out of the house between 9:30pm and 2am Monday through Friday. Outside of that- my schedule is flexible. I am available on most weekends and holidays. I only book one client at a time for pet sits and boarding, so your pet(s) will have my full attention. I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood with a huge, unfenced yard. I own a variety of animal care supplies and equipment.
“June can be nervous initially but warmed up to Patrycja quickly! I can tell June enjoyed her walks by the pictures and updates sent! Patrycja really went above and beyond to make sure June was comfortable! We both appreciated the help today! Thank you!”
“Melanie is great! Very professional and always keeps me informed of when she arrives, and of their walk. My dog always looks forward to her arrival and walk :) i would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have had my dog now for almost 10 years. I used to care for my dog as well as a roommates dog at one point. I can give medications and can provide First Aid/Heimlich if needed. Strong enough to hold back and tame my 60 pound Boxer mix. I’ve also helped care/walk my sisters Great Dane and my friends smaller dogs for 7 years or so. I love animals and if you have other little friends who need care, just let me know what to do and I’ll do it. I work night shift as an ICU Nurse so I’m home all day. I can pop in and check on your babies any time during the day. I would need to know in advance only cause I do eventually sleep during the day. I’m aware you are trusting me with one of the most important members of your family, I’ll be happy to leave a photo and an update of any changes , good or bad, so you can enjoy some peace of mind that everything is alright.

About: As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to providing safe, loving care. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I’ll treat your pets like family and follow their routine closely. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention for your pets. I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit your needs. I care for pets as if they were my own.

About: I’ve had a dog in our lives for the past 12 years who passed away a couple months ago. We rescued 3 kittens in 2021. Jack is our oldest cat and he is quite a character. Luz is our middle cat and she is the sweetest little thing to look at/she loves to talk. Baby is our not so little baby and is such a friendly loving cat. I’m currently working 80% remote from home during the week and available on the weekends. Having my cats at home have kept me company and make the day go by faster. My cats have free range of our home and no restrictions. They have their favorite spots to nap during the day which is our bathroom, under my teenagers beds and on my bed while I work. We have snack and play time but mostly love to lounge during the day. We’re looking to add some additional character in our environment. Our home will be your pets second home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 10 years now. I’ve taken care of many dogs from my moms clients dogs, my family dogs, my sisters dog and her friends dogs. This is something that I enjoy doing and I will make sure that I give the care that your dog deserves. To keep them entertained and engage with them. I’m currently working part time. So I have plenty of time on my hands and my schedule is very flexible! I also have a car so I haven’t problem commuting. I have a big fenced yard to keep your fur ball safe and a lot of room for them to run around. I’m very detail oriented so I’ll follow any schedule you give me and keep their dietary needs in mind.
About: Available on some weekdays and weekends, will incorporate lots of exercise and playtime, have years of experience with caring for dogs, like my dog Benji. I don’t prefer to do house-boarding just because my current family dog isn’t dog-friendly with others. Because I grew up without a dog and have always wanted one, I was hoping to fulfill that gap with caring for other dogs. I am responsible enough to ensure everything will go smoothly, and have a calm demeanor in case of emergencies. Having always been a dog lover, I can provide you with the service of being rest assured that the relationship between your dog and me will be a reciprocal and enjoyable one! No guarantees of feelings not becoming attached however! If you are looking for an involved, energetic playmate for your dog or simply a caretaker, I can be of generous service to you and your dog.
About: I have taken a dog behavior training at a local shelter. I have dog sat for family members for multiple days (in house and my home ) Unfortunately I work during the week. I am free Saturday and Sunday to pet sit or just to give your fur baby some love and attention for a couple hours while you’re away. I do not have pets of my own due to housing circumstances. While in a client’s home I ensure that all potentially dangerous items are out of reach and secure from the pets. I give pets their space when showing signs of distress. As well as make sure they have their favorite comfort items.
About: I have been taking care of different pets for my entire life, ranging from 12 different dog breeds and ages, cats, fish, every kind of rodent, and birds. I've been petsitting for neighbors and friends for the past 4 years with cats, dogs, fish, and rodents. I walk my families dog, a poodle mix, daily. I can handle all sorts of animals. Ive cared even for exotic animals, such as chinchillas and hedgehogs and ferrets. There is no pet I cant care for and no dog I can't walk. Ive begun learning dog training and grooming and can understand a lot about different pets. I'm friendly, energetic, and excited to meet new fur babies. I work at a library four days a week, I’m always off on Sundays and Mondays, free on Tuesday and Thursday mornings/afternoons. I also have a long lunch break on the afternoons I work a long day to check and give love if needed! I have a fenced backyard, I stay a 5 min walk from the closest park and a 3 minute drive from a dog park. The yard is taken care of and baby/dog proofed for my own tot and pup. I follow directions of what your pet is used to as well!
About: I’ve taken care of my pet dog Bruno since he was a puppy, me and my family adopted him back in 2023 and now he’s turning 3 in May this year. I’m usually free throughout the week and I will always have plenty of time to care for them and for any of their needs! I will always make sure to speak with their owner first if they have any special needs and ask if there are certain instructions written down that will need to be followed regarding of their pets.
About: I grew up with dogs and for the past 7 years I’ve been a cat mom. I have experience with dogs, cats, rodents and some reptiles. I’m an animal lover so it’s easy for me to adjust to new pets 😊 I’m currently doing school online and I do work part time but for the most part I can work around my schedule for your babies! I do not have a fence which is why I would not mind being in a client’s home. I would also love for your pet to feel comfortable where they know.

“Mercedes and her family were the best caregivers I could have asked for! I had to leave my 9 week old puppy for 6 days and I felt so comfortable with the level of care she was provided. I got multiple daily updates and photos of my little Luna playing with Mercedes, her cute pup, and her children. They had all the toys, bedding, and comforts my puppy needed. I loved it and it made me feel very confident with my decision in booking, I was worried she would want to stay there forever. :-) Mercedes and her family were very kind, sweet, genuine people and I’m so grateful for them! I will 100% be booking with Mercedes again. Thank you!”
“Cary and her daughter are wonderful. Mac was there for a week and made himself at home. A nice fenced in yard and he was treated as one of the family. I highly recommend.”
“Omg so this was the first time I left my dog Mamba with someone else. I was extremely nervous because she has never been around anyone else but me. I wanted my dog which is basically my child be with someone who would watch her like I would if I was gone . Susseth was amazing and reassuring that my dog would be watched out for. She allowed time to ask enough questions and gave us updates as well. I enjoyed receiving videos and pictures since they called my nerves as well. I will definitely be rebooking her for my upcoming 12 day trip. My worries are put at ease. Thank you again Susseth !!!”
“Serena watched our 6 month old puppy at her house for a week, and he had a great time! She communicated with us every day, and we felt very at ease and able to enjoy our trip without worrying. She also has a very sweet dog who kept him company during his stay.”
“Katarina was so patient with Luna and I appreciated the whole process from the intro to the pick up!! She made me and Luna feel extremely welcomed and shared plenty of pictures. I would absolutely use her again and would recommend! 10 out of 10, no notes!”
“Emily was very responsive and kept me up to date on how things were going with lots of pics/videos. It’s our second time booking and feel very confident our dog feels comfortable/safe with her!”
“I left my dog with Dara for 2.5 weeks and I did not worry about him at all. Finding a good Rover is tricky especially that my dog is reactive and can’t stay with other dogs. She consistently sent updates with photos and I loved hearing about his little quirks! I appreciate her celebrating his birthday too! I can tell that my dog had a great time, we highly recommend Dara!”
“Lorraine took great care of Pucci! She is welcoming and very attentive to his needs, as well as having a nice yard for some outside time. We received frequent photos as always feel assured that he is in great hands when we are out of town :)”
“Chelsea is such a wonderful sitter !!! My dog absolutely loves her and her family. It’s great knowing that my dog is in great hands when I’m away and Chelsea always takes great care of her. Highly recommend Chelsea !!”
“Shayna was excellent! We were very nervous leaving our overly anxious labradoodle for a few days and Shayna put all of those nerves to rest. She is clearly a professional. Thank you so much for everything Shayna!”
“Matt and Michelle took great care of Sydney and Lucy while we were gone for 9 days. They kept us updated while we were gone and sent us photos. We would use them again! Thanks guys!”
“Nicole provided exceptional care for Oreo while we were away, and we couldn't be more grateful. She ensured he got food, attention, and exercise, making his stay enjoyable and stress-free. Additionally, Nicole kept us updated with regular photos and messages, giving us peace of mind knowing Oreo was in good hands. After picking up Oreo, we can felt Oreo seem to miss her. We highly recommend her services to anyone in need of pet boarding. We can't thank her enough for treating Oreo like family and giving us total peace of mind. Nicole, you're the best!”
“Desiree was amazing with our 4 year old terrier mix and high energy 5 month old puppy! We were nervous with our puppy who hadn’t been in boarding before, and she was great with keeping us posted on their behavior & sending daily pics/updates. Our dogs came home exhausted from having so much fun at their time away. She was also great with our 4 y.o. who preferred her personal space around the younger dogs there. We will absolutely use her again!”
“Elizabeth was so responsive, kind, and treated my dog as if it were her own. She sent me lots of photos and updates throughout the stay. Her kids were super gentle with my timid dog and I could tell that the entire family went out of their way to make my dog feel at home. Would definitely book again!”
“Manuel is the best. He’s looked after my little corgi Kit twice now and has done an excellent job. I can’t recommend him enough! Your pup will always be in good hands with Manuel. Thanks so much!!”
“Charise was amazing with our dog Zoe! Zoe came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Charise kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took Zoe on walks, car rides, and let her play in the yard with her sweet dog Navi. You could tell Zoe was getting lots of attention and love the entire time. We also really appreciated that Charise dropped Zoe off at home for us. Highly recommend Charise if you are looking for someone caring, reliable, and attentive to watch your fur baby!”
“Very kind and professional. I would pick her again when I need another sitter for my bunny. First time ever doing this and she gave me the best experience”
“Katie was wonderful to our pup, Vicky! We felt so at ease knowing our pup was with her and she had excellent communication. Look forward to having Katie babysit our pup again in the future! Highly recommend her!”
