“This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.”
“This was my first time leaving my fur baby with Ana and Byron. I was a little nervous as I didn’t know how she would react being in a new environment. Needless to say my worries were eased as soon as I saw pics and videos of her outside going for a walk or simply just laying on Byron’s lap. I will definitely be using them again as my fur baby was content and well taken care of.”
“Iman provided top tier service! This was my first time using this app. Typically my dog would stay with family members while I'm out of town. My dog sitter plans fell through at the last minute and Iman was gracious enough to take in Coco without any advanced notice. Iman sent daily photos and videos and eased all of anxiety. I knew Coco was in good hands and I was able to enjoy my trip. Iman even surprised us on the last day with beautiful edited photos of Coco.”
“It’s so cute to see my Chaseypoo interact with Amia and Joshua, the kids and their pups. They adore her and she comes home happy and tired and ready for a nap.”
“I cannot recommend Mercedes enough! I was looking for a last minute sitter and Mercedes was very responsive and took my dog at last minute notice. Mercedes went above and beyond when caring for my pup and I never felt more comfortable with a sitter. She took amazing care of my dog and kept me informed! She showed incredible kindness to me and my pup ❤️”
“I had a great experience with Jesus! Sienna was right at home and Jesus made sure to send me updates and pictures every day. I felt very comfortable and assured that Sienna was in good hands for the week I was traveling for work. I will definitely be using Jesus again!”
“Best experience ever. I was extremely nervous about leaving my dog at first, but Latasha made me feel comfortable. She was able to accommodate my last minute booking and sent photo updates throughout.”
About: Hi! I’m a Veterinary student with experience in animal behavior, dog training, pet handling, and more. I’m passionate about providing a safe, loving, and stress free environment for pets in my home. My veterinary education helps me recognize health concerns, understand animal body language, and ensure every pet receives attentive, knowledgeable care. I will care for your pets with all the love in my heart, treating them as if they were my own and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved throughout their stay. 🐾❤️ As a Veterinary student, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I am available to care for pets during both weekdays and weekends, and I can provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a secure apartment building with controlled access and a safe environment. There are several nearby parks and walking areas where your pet can enjoy regular exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. I typically accept only one pet (or pets from the same family) at a time. I do not board pets from different households together, which helps prevent conflicts, anxiety, and unnecessary stress. This allows me to give each pet my full attention and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay.
“Mariah took such great care of my dog, Dolton! From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves animals and made Dolton feel right at home. She kept me updated with messages and adorable photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Dolton came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found Mariah—will definitely book with her again!”
“Rolanda was amazing! She sent me frequent updates and her dog was very compatible with mine. She treated my fur baby like it was her own. I definitely will use her again!”
“Danielle does a really wonderful job. She is so responsive, sends frequent pics and updates and is just a pleasure! We are happy we found her to watch our sweet pup while we are out of town!”
“Jennifer was very professional and kept us up to date on the pups well being and what they were doing. Jennifer met us at convenient times and let us know what we needed to bring and made every attempt to please us and our pets.”
“My dog Buddy had the best of time with Janet. I would highly recommend Janet. Buddy was almost sad returning home. I received pictures during the stay which I really loved. Thank you Janet for making my dog feel at home and loved!”

“Karen took care of our 2 cats while we were out of town for almost 2 weeks. She kept in contact the entire time and sent pictures daily. When we returned the cats acted like we never left. We will be reaching back out in the future for more sitting!”
About: Ive owned so many variety's of pets from cats and dogs to gerbils, hamsters, mice, and turtles from 8-18 years old. I love animals and will always put their well-being first in any situation. I am currently a student at Fox working towards my Veterinary Technicians License. I speak Spanish and English!
“5 stars!! Antonette did drop-in visits for my two cats and was wonderful to work with. She carefully followed the specific instructions for my senior cat and made me feel completely at ease. I really appreciated the regular photo updates that kept me in the loop while I was away.”
“Kaelyn was absolutely wonderful, scheduled the meet and greet quickly, my fur baby, Juicy, loved her. She sent photos every day, and I could see she was so comfortable with her. Made my trip away from my Juice so much easier to tolerate. Will be booking her moving forward whenever needed. Highly recommend. Juice and I thank you, Kaelyn!”
“This was our first time using Rover. My husband and I went on a week-long trip, and we couldn't find anyone to watch our 2 kitties overnight. I was nervous because I usually like to have family watch them, as I know them. After meeting Khalia, I could tell she cared for animals, and it made me feel better. She did a great job with our little chaos gremlins, and they felt safe with her! She left everything nice and clean, respected our home, and gave us updates with pictures. The pics meant a lot! I'm a worried cat momma, so this helped with us being so far away. We'll continue to reach out to her when we need a cat sitter!”
“Thank you for caring for Baby. It gave me such a peace of mind while I was away. Thank you so much for the toy for baby, that was such a kind gesture! Would hire again”
“Lisa was an amazing sitter! She followed my instructions to a T. She respected my home and went above and beyond to send me updates and photos. I would definitely book her again and recommend you to book her too! You won't be disappointed!”
About: I have over five years of pet sitting experience and understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level. As a cat owner myself, I’m experienced with feeding routines, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, medication reminders, and creating a calm environment. I’m patient with shy cats, attentive with seniors, and respectful of cats who prefer space while still making sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable. I provide dependable updates and loving care you can trust while you’re away.
“Elizabeth was one of the best cat sitter we have ever had! Aroma and espresso warmed up to her instantly and based on pictures and videos I could tell they loved her! She was very caring, communicative, respectful and friendly. Our house was left spotless and our cats well taken care of. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter and we will be booking her again moving forward - Can’t recommend her enough! Please consider her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Jazz was so very awesome. This was the first time we used Rover and she was a definite awesome choice for our cats. We had a video call before to discuss everything and make sure we both knew what was to be expected. I got a text and photos and video of her visit with the cats, so my mind was more at ease. We will definitely recommend and rebook Jazz 😊”
“Sammi is very attentive. She listened to and followed through with the tasks requested, even when I had a tendency to change a few ideas from time to time. I definitely felt a lot more comfortable going on my trip with her watching my cats. There are also many other positives I can point out such as her having excellent communication, keeping up with updates, having exceptional people skills (which is still needed when dealing with pets) and truly making an effort to take care of my cats and ensure they and I were comfortable. I appreciated this greatly.”
“I’m so happy we were referred to Cindy! Today was the first time she was helped us and my dog turned into a hot mess :) Poor Cindy was just going to let her out for 30 minutes so she wouldn’t be in the crate too long without a break. Instead, due to a serious of minor mishaps our girl caused, Cindy ended up having to clean up multiple messes (in an unfamiliar house no less) and then took her for a walk to calm her down and get her back in the crate without stressing her out. She filled me in on everything that happened and even offered to check on her again before we got home, if we needed. She was so nice despite all the chaos and even complimented our Belle (she’s a handful, but a sweet one!) I highly recommend Cindy!!”

About: I have been a dog owner for over 25 years. I currently have a 3 year old golden doodle and a 10 year old yorkie/maltise mix that I rescued from the shelter when she was just 7 months old. Being a dog owner for over 25 years has given me a lot of experience and patience with dogs. I am recently retired and have even more time with my fur babies. My dogs get routine walks and playtime at our local doggie park. I have a fenced in backyard for your fur baby to stretch out and play. Your dog will have their own personal cage and space while in my care.

I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, giving fresh water, cleaning up after pets, taking safe walks, and providing playtime and affection. I understand how important pets are to their families, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. Pet care actually fits really well into my high school schedule especially since i don’t have a job yet. It’s flexible, low stress, and you can choose what works for me When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and bedtime routines. I make sure your pet has fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention.

“She is such a great person inside and out! Did a doggy date care to have my puppy aquatinted with her kids and other dogs she was boarding and everything went well! She even gave my puppy a bath. I was very comfortable and satisfied to know my dog was and is in good hands! Highly recommend!!!”
About: I offer a home-based boarding experience designed for pets who deserve thoughtful, elevated care. My home is calm, beautifully maintained, and intentionally structured—ideal for dogs who thrive on routine, comfort, and personalized attention. I share my home with a 15-year-old miniature poodle, so I selectively welcome only gentle, compatible dogs to maintain a peaceful, low-stress environment. With limited capacity, each guest receives attentive supervision, individualized care, and a nurturing, high-quality stay. I’m enjoying early retirement and have chosen to devote my time to providing full-time, attentive care for dogs. This allows me to be consistently present, unhurried, and deeply focused on each guest’s comfort, routine, and overall well-being throughout their stay. I have a beautiful and clean spacious split level home for your fur baby to freely move around in. My home features a securely fenced yard designed for safe, supervised playtime. Dogs enjoy calm outdoor breaks and gentle activity in a controlled environment, always under attentive supervision to ensure comfort, safety, and peace of mind.
“Very pleasant and flexible. They took my pup on walks and sent pictures. The children seemed to love my dog as well. There may be other dogs on property at the same time in case that's an issue for your dog.”
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover. I have worked as a vet tech caring for dogs and cats. Our family has had a farm with horses, chickens, goats, honeybees, dogs and cats for years. I have spent some years doing dog training. Currently we have furry family members that include dogs, cats, and freshwater fish.. I am flexible with animal services provided based around you and your pet's particular needs. Whether that is walking, in home care, or boarding - no matter the size. I would love to care for your pet and offer you peace of mind in the meantime. I am able to walk, feed, exercise, trim nails in a kind, calm and structured manner. If special care is needed, like medicating or transporting, I am able to offer these services as well. Pet care is my primary job outside of my family. Prioritizing care is my promise. From feeding, to letting them out in the fenced yard, to walks your fur babies will be well loved and cared for. I have two dogs of my own who love to invite others to the pack. I am very conscientious on integrating pets so that they will feel safe and comfortable in our home and with our crew.

“AWESOME SITTER - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Will be very happy to use Lynda again! I contacted Lynda the day before I was going for a spontaneous day trip to Michigan and she agreed to a last-minute booking for my dog Bob. Lynda was so gracious and invited Bob & me over to meet her, her husband, and their daughter's dog, Teddy. I was so thrilled Bob had a playmate for the day and the two pups got along very well! Lynda & Mark are fantastic people and even said to drop Bob off that night so I could start out early the next morning! Wow, did I appreciate that as it certainly made it easy for me! Lynda checked in with me the next day and all was well with Bob! I truly appreciated the update on my boy, Bob! My day trip ended up going a little later than planned and when I contacted Lynda to let her know I'd be late, she was wonderful! I felt genuinely fortunate to have Lynda and her husband watching Bob! Bob seemed very happy & content staying with them and I was extremely comfortable with this hospitable couple. I would highly recommend Lynda & Mark in a heartbeat and won't hesitate to have them watch Bob again!”

“Grace paid excellent attention to instructions and details to ensure a smooth dog walking visit. She is really comfortable with my 2 large dogs who cannot seem to keep all 4 paws on the ground.🥺 Grace put my anxiety of securing another dog sitter at ease. Thank you Grace for your excellent pet care.💖”
About: I’m fortunate to have experience with a wide variety of animals thanks to my cousins, who have two cats, three dogs, a turtle, and a horse. I help care for their pets regularly, so I’m comfortable meeting the unique needs of animals of all kinds and treating each one like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m currently finishing up breast cancer treatment and have intentionally chosen pet sitting as my primary work. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and being able to provide reliable, loving care while I’m in this season of life has been incredibly rewarding. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. At my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard for supervised play, exercise, and potty breaks, along with plenty of attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other care instructions. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
“Brandon has been wonderful with my dog. She gets very excited when she sees him. Great communication. He is always on time. Very responsive and very professional. 100% recommended!”
About: Growing up I had a dog, and I have pet sat for neighbors, friends and coworkers. I love to be outside and play, and will make sure your dog has the most fun while being the most safe 😊 I am in grad school, so my schedule changes per semester! I am always free mornings and nights, and anytime on weekends. Let me know what you need and I should be able to work it out! I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether we’re on a walk or I’m just dropping in! I stick to the pets regular schedule and make sure they have lots of affection and play!
About: I have had and been around dogs since I was a child. Dogs seem to come to me naturally; without fear or hesitation. I honestly believe this is because I approach them with ease and am not forceful. It seemed like a natural step for me to join the Rover community. Ive also been a dog owner and currently have Jazzy who is my beloved Boston Terrier Mix with a big personality and sweet nature. Jazzy and I chose each other and its been an adventure ever since day one! she loves everyone but at times can be a little bossy. I'm well aware of who runs the household! I pride myself on ensuring that Jazzy stays healthy by giving her quality food and treats, Along with that she enjoys her fenced in yard and takes daily walks. We have lots of playtime and cuddles. I'll treat your dog as I would my own. That is my motto as I don't want you to worry or be concerned when you are away from your precious fur baby. I can't replace you, or would never try but rest assured your pet will receive all my tender loving care. I have had the opportunity to care for some dogs on Rover who have become regular clients. The owners have told me that they reach out to me first and hope that I am available. That is a huge compliment and I'm honored that I made such an impact on their four legged friend. All the pets I have met have their own unique personality and what I do as a sitter is simply take them for who they are which includes any little quirks. Canine or human, we all possess them. If you like what you see, let's schedule a meet and greet and see if I'm the right fit for your pet and their needs. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me and read my profile! I work remotely on a part time basis so can be available in the afternoon/evening and do pet sitting on the weekends away from my home. Well I make sure my dog Jazzy is loved and cared for each and every day. I give her good food and healthy treats. Daily walks and preventive meds to keep her healthy and strong.

I will come to you, so that your pet feels safe and happy in their own environment. Earning their trust is essential and very important to me. All companion animals deserve respect, to feel safe, loved, and have lots of enrichment.
About: I was always had furry siblings but have graduated to a cat mama. I enjoy creating personal heavens for our companions. Reliable, punctual and kind. I have a full-time job that pays the bills but I am looking for ways to feed my soul. Overnights are great as well as drop ins. I would prefer to host at client's homes as my current home does not allow dogs. Willing to board or take cats overnight. Let's make it a sleepover!
About: well, one thing that makes me unique is my extensive experience in training puppies. i've worked with a lot of dogs before, so i'm great at handling them and helping them learn new tricks. but wait, there's more! i also have some experience with senior care and can provide personalized care and support for older animals. I have open availability! Just give me a two days notice and a day before if you need to cancel. You can reach me by my phone number. when i'm caring for pets in my own home, i make sure to provide a safe and comfortable environment for them. i have all the supplies they need, from food and water bowls to toys and comfortable bedding and when i'm caring for pets in their owner's home, i follow the same guidelines and make sure to respect their space and routine. i also always make sure the pets are comfortable and well-taken care of.
About: I have taken care of animals for years, I have experience as a veterinary intern and as a volunteer at a cat cafe. I also have had the pleasure of owning multiple pets, 3 dogs and a cat. I’m currently working part time and about to start summer break from my university! I have one cat who I take of. So I am extremely available. I have a fenced in yard and have a cat that I feed and clean up after, I bathe, feed, and provide love and attention to my grandmas dog. In my clients home I’m there to provide their pets with comfort and reliability while there owners are you.
“Iman was wonderful! I have never left my dogs before but had to in order to move. She was patient, truthful, transparent about her services, and most importantly KIND. I was a mess and she talked me through all the changes and what she thought was best for my animals. She was very professional when she met them and when we walked them. She came at all of her scheduled visits and spent time with them even sending me photos to keep me calm. Most importantly, the last photo she sent me of my little, old lady, I could tell that Leela was sad to see her new friend go. She really did a great job caring for my babies and even left me samples of her dog food. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend!!!”
About: I am 32 years young now and I have had pets since I can remember. I grew up with medium and big dogs. Also cats, chickens, rabbits and goats. I LOVE ANIMALS! I am self employed, so my schedule is very flexible. It will be very easy to have time to board your furry baby since I work on my own time. I have 2 bedrooms, a basement and garage. The yard is fenced in. I know that some dogs can be aggressive and there is no judgement at all. If your dog needs to be separate, that is totally fine. All separate pet boarding areas are clean and warm. Blankets and furniture they are free to use.
“These ladies are very caring and attentive. They provide daily feedback to let me know how Tazer is doing and take pictures and video when they are on their walks. I'm very happy and know Tazer is well cared for when I'm at work.”
About: My purr-found love for cats has only grown over the years. Despite coming from a dog-preferred family—cats are my vibe! Thankfully, fate brought my quirky calico feline, Pia; a cat who magically gets along & plays with other cats & dogs. For nearly 3 years, I’ve worked as a purr-fessional cat sitter—accepting kittens, adult & senior cats ONLY after having a phone conversation with the owner. Essentially you need to pick the right caregiver for your animals, and I understand that I may or not be that for you. I reserve the right to deny service at my discretion, but I am very flexible with time and schedules. Tell me more about your cat(s)'s eating, sleeping, and playing habits to ensure I follow their natural schedule, as much as paw-sible! I aim to minimize any claw-ful feelings in my kitty clients. Thank you for reading & I look forward to hearing from you soon! :) Bachelors of Science 🧬 Certification: Basic Life Support 🩹 ⛑ Reiki Level 2 Practitioner: 🧘🏾 I am able to schedule visits around my claw-ients needs. Upon arrival, I get to business and perform the kitty chores first so that the end of the visit is filled with paw-some fun! At this time I am only cat sitting at my claw-ients house to ensure minimal disruption to the kitties. I give my fur-iends time to warm up to me & approach them on their terms.

She showed incredible kindness to me and my pup ❤️”
About: Hi! I’m a Veterinary student with experience in animal behavior, dog training, pet handling, and more. I’m passionate about providing a safe, loving, and stress free environment for pets in my home. My veterinary education helps me recognize health concerns, understand animal body language, and ensure every pet receives attentive, knowledgeable care. I will care for your pets with all the love in my heart, treating them as if they were my own and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved throughout their stay. 🐾❤️ As a Veterinary student, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I am available to care for pets during both weekdays and weekends, and I can provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a secure apartment building with controlled access and a safe environment. There are several nearby parks and walking areas where your pet can enjoy regular exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. I typically accept only one pet (or pets from the same family) at a time. I do not board pets from different households together, which helps prevent conflicts, anxiety, and unnecessary stress. This allows me to give each pet my full attention and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay.
“Mariah took such great care of my dog, Dolton! From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves animals and made Dolton feel right at home. She kept me updated with messages and adorable photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Dolton came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found Mariah—will definitely book with her again!”

“We're so glad we got Rachel to keep Winston. we've tried contacting her last summer but the timing wasn't right. When we finally did, we knew she was good. Winston really enjoyed himself and he looked like he was at home from the photos. We've felt so comfortable and happy from the contacts we've received from Rachel. Thanks again Rachel, you're a superstar.”
“Had another wonderful experience with Ken and his family! The daily pictures and videos help you feel connected. The love and care that Roo received was outstanding! I wish we could give them 100 stars!”
“Nemo took to Kathleen right away. She kept him busy with walking and playing with her children. She is a dog lover! He is as in good hands. Sent several pics too. Would definitely ask her to sit again.”
About: I have both a cat and a dog. Recently moved out to steger/monee. I can't wait to meet some of your fuzzy friends and help out! -Sarah Just moved to Edgewater and available from Mondays-Friday and before 4pm on Weekends! Anywhere that I can commute via CTA to walk, sit, or feed your pet. I have 3 cats in my apartment, although I have previous experience with a family dog. I also have experience volunteering at PAWS animal shelter.
“Megan was so sweet!. This was the first time we needed to board our baby for a few days. Megan eased our worries. She was in contact with us throughout the day. She sent lots of pics of our baby. Definitely will be a return customer!”
“Thaaaannnkkk you Toya! She was wonderful throughout the whole process. Great communication, was able to accommodate only a few days prior of notification, and flexible with the booking! Dropoff was easy, and my dog didn't even bark when she came out (always a good sign of a dog person!). Of course he would have a small incident in her residence, Toya was informative in what happened and was still patient and kind. We would definitely consider using her again.”
“Stephanie is my choice for sitter. My dog absolutely loves her. She is always on time and really cares for my Pooch. If you need a sitter, she is the 1 for you! I give her 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 and 👍👍”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am so grateful I found Juliana. I was so nervous leaving my baby in the care of anyone for the first time on an extended stay. Juliana took such good care of my Benito! Her communication was great and you can tell she truly is an animal lover. I would definitely recommend her! Thank you for caring for my Benito! 🫶🏽🐈⬛”
“Tonisa was an awesome sitter for Koda. This was Koda’s first time being away from us for such a long period of time so i was apprehensive but after meeting Tonisa I felt at ease. During Koda’s stay, Tonisa sent frequent pictures and updates. I highly recommend!”
“Emily is patient and kind and speaks cat fluently. I won't hesitate to book her again in future. Emily updated me regularly with texts and photos of how Sweet Pea was doing and was transparent about any issues with adjustment (e.g. "still hiding but she's eating and drinking"). Emily kept Sweet Pea away from other pets to ease her anxiety and took such good care of my loved one.”
