“Dublin’s stay at Sarah’s went well. She sent pictures and gave us a report out when we picked her up. I was a bit concerned that the fence was fairly short given that we have a lab, but she assured us she keeps the dogs on a leash whenever they’re in the yard. Thx, Sarah, we’ll definitely reach out for any future needs.”
“Kelly, along with her own pooch Maggie, were excellent companions for our puppy's first stay away from home. Kelly was on top of everything, because she's very professional and caring. I really appreciated the photos she sent each day showing that our dog was having a good time. Kelly was always on top of the entire process. Because we were traveling to and from the airport, together we made the drop off and pick up as smooth and quick as possible. Kelly's location, about five minutes from the airport, was perfect too.”
“Roscoe had a blast with Deirdre and all her doggy friends. He was smiling in all the pictures and came home exhausted. We will definitely use Deidre again next time we need to leave Roscoe!”
“Hannah was awesome with our 4 month puppy Bella! She was super nice during our meet and greet and communicated well during Bella’s stay! It’s a paradise for pups in her home! Thank you Hannah, we’ll be back soon!”
“Byron and wife Martha are the best sitters for dog Noki! Byron keeps me posted with pictures of my Noki comfortable in there home. That really gives me and my husband a peace of mine when we are traveling without him. Thank you for making him feel at home.”
“Nicole is so caring and communicative. I needed to find coverage for my pet while I was going on vacation. Nicole was very accommodating and kind to my dog Fia. She sent pictures and updates frequently, and Fia had a blast at her place.”
“Jayne was wonderful!! You can clearly see she loves dogs and will pamper your furry babies. During Jazz's stay, she hurt her paw but Jayne was right on the case - she let me know right away and was able to take care of Jazz. I came back to find a super happy pup! Will definitely use Jayne's services again!”
“Dee was amazing! She honestly loves dogs and treated ours as her own while we were away. She sent a steady stream of updates and pictures to keep us in the loop and our dogs and our happiness was her first priority. 11/10, she's an angel and I'd happily have our dog sit with her again.”
“Kim is amazing and took care of our Goldendoodle puppy very well. She’s very patient and send us many updates with photos and videos. Our dog came back to us clean and happy. I trust Kim with my baby boy and I can leave him with 100% peace of mind.”
“Jessica is fantastic! She took our pup to the park and on her errands which made him very happy. Very communicative too the entire time with photos and videos. And she takes excellent photos to boot!”
“Megan was fantastic! Tons of pictures, immediate responses while messaging and was flexible on time changes. Already planning to book again with Megan! Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of Moon.”
“Chisato was amazing and took such great care of our Lucey! She sent so many photos and videos and we could tell how comfortable Lucey felt and how much fun she was having! We will definitely have Chisato care for Lucey again!”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs for over 30 years. Currently am a dog dad of a sweetheart 3 year old tri-color pitbull named Seven. We love to go on longboard skateboard rides on the lake bluff bike bath everyday. I currently work full time driving. Which allows me to get home multiple times a times per day and night to provide the best care Animals are very important to me and I always give my dog the best care and exercise possible. From multiple walks/skateboard rides per day, to always having water available and feeding at the proper time. I have even started using alcohol free wipes on dog paws before coming back inside
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.
“Mary and Norm welcomed Bambi in as part of the family and I could tell from the photos it took her no time at all to adjust to her new surroundings. She can't wait to stay with them again.”
“Jean is caring and very attentive to my dog. She gave multiple updates throughout his time there and paid attention to his behavior and asked questions. Very highly recommended”
“Julie was available last minute, and even with the limited time she was swift to respond and easy to communicate with. We dropped Brutus off and met her two dogs and son who would all be hanging out - I could instantly tell this was going to be great for our Maltese. After receiving a few fun photos throughout the stay, Brutus was happy and totally exhausted when we picked him up. Thanks for a great stay and highly recommended!”
“Once again Veronique has exceeded my expectations. Was my second time having her watch my dog Jimmie. She is wonderful and she has demonstrated her passion and expertise for canine care, by taking excellent care of my dog, and by sending me numerous photos and videos of Jimmie during her many long walks in parks and forest perserves which my dog loves. I did not worry a bit with Veronique in charge. Jimmie had a super great time playing with her two dogs. I highly recommend her for dog sitting and grooming.”

“Beth was wonderful. She is so sweet with my little cat and figured out right away how she likes to be pet. I really appreciated her sending pics and letting me know everything was ok. She went above and beyond in her care while I was gone and she is always very punctual and responsible. I’m very glad to have found Beth!!”
About: Throughout my time in high school I volunteered at my local humane society with cats. This consisted of playing with them, cleaning their kennels, and creating enrichments. I also regularly cat sit for a few families, all with multiple cats in the home. This work consisted of feeding them, playing with them, cleaning their litter boxes, providing enrichments, and more. I have always loved cats and will take any excuse to hang out with them. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends :)
“Swag was amazingl detailed and kind; followed up; had great information and made sure every detail was taken care of, even washing the cats dishes that were used. 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: I’ve always had a love for cats since we found our own at 6 years old (Lucy) at our old farmland. Over the last year I have worked with tons of cat family’s providing expert level care from drop ins to overnights when needed. Every animal I care for like my own - attentive, loving and trustworthy.
“Diana was wonderful with our two playful kitties over the holidays! She was always on time, was very communicative, and had great attention to detail. Most of all, I can tell she really cares for animals. I highly recommend her and would love to have her watch our kitties anytime!”
“For anyone looking for a sitter go ahead and just hire Jacqueline now! Jacqueline dropped everything to come and meet my cat and then take over watching her for 10 days when our previous sitter cancelled at the very last minute. She truly loves animals and was so happy to take care of my cat! She provided amazing detailed daily feedback on my kitty, was immediately responsive to any messages I sent her, and really just made me feel that my cat was in great hands when I was away. I can’t recommend her more! Absolutely hire her now!”
“Faith was fantastic with my cats! She followed their care routine and loved them while I was out of the country. I’m so thankful for her service - highly recommend:)”
About: I have grown up loving cats and have always wanted a cat of my own. I feel comfortable taking care of cats, love playing and snuggling with them, and understand that cats do best when they are allowed to warm up to new people on their own terms. I’ve grown up with family and friends’ cats and would love to get to know your feline friend!
About: I have taken care of cats for about a year before. I am allergic slightly so I don’t keep one in the house regularly but for sitting purposes I am ok. I have a dog in the house who loves other animals including cats.
About: My two cats are 10 and 11 years old! They are complete opposites in almost every way: one is a fluffy furball, and the other is a very cute skinny snuggle bug. Have given them both meds, and provided post neutering/spay care.
About: I have had the honor of having many furry best friends since childhood, such as my feisty cat, (Moning, RIP) and three guinea pigs (Mr. Wheeks, Oreo, and Bella, RIP.) I also have a long history of taking care of my friends' fur children, both cats and dogs alike. I am a medical student who is currently on summer break and am hoping to fill my days with your bundles of joy! I am a medical student on summer break so my availability for the summer is generally wide open! I am available for regularly scheduled walks or drop-in's for the duration of the summer. My goal is to not just be a person who walks your dog, but be you and your dogs' friend! Your pets safety, as well as mines and your own, are my top priority. When performing drop-in visits or walks, I will make sure to immediately tend to your pets while keeping alert of the environment around me. In terms of drop-in visits, I will make sure to have your house key/code on my persons at all times and will make sure to ensure that everything was as it was left and make sure that when I leave, doors/gates are locked and secured.
About: I have been caring for dogs almost as long as I have been alive! I am available in the afternoons during the week, and anytime on the weekends. I can care for your dog as little as a short home visit, or a nice outing at the park. Your dog’s safety is a MUST in my book and always my first priority. Anything that could possibly put your dog in harms-way will not be tolerated. When it comes to long stays away from your dog, I highly encourage communication in any shape or form. My phone will always be in arms reach when it comes to taking care of one’s dog. Overall, I can guarantee your dog will always feel safe and loved while in my care.

“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.”
“Deidre was fantastic! Will definitely use again when we’re in town next! At drop off, my dogs were comfortable with her right away and at pick up my dogs came home tired and happy! Thank you!”
“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!”
“Julie has been an accommodating and loving caregiver to our Bella. Bella really seems to enjoy her time at Julie's place. She will be our first-choice sitter whenever we need a caregiver for Bella. Thank you Julie!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always felt very natural to me. My last dog was with me for 14 years, and I got to experience every stage of her life with her. I went from playing with her as a little kid to taking her on walks and eventually helping care for her as she got older. Having her alongside me for so many years made her feel like a constant part of my life, and I really grew up with her in a way that I’ll always be grateful for. My current dog has been with me for four years and was rescued from a breeding farm. When we first brought her home, she was extremely nervous and wouldn’t even leave our mudroom. It took a lot of patience and consistency for her to become comfortable, but now she sleeps in my bed and follows me everywhere. That experience taught me that every dog has a different personality and comfort level, and sometimes they just need someone willing to give them the time to adjust. Maple (Her name) has taught me so much about her, myself, and how to care for different dogs. Given that she lives at home with my mother while I’m at school, I miss her like I’d miss a sibling or parent and we both always get unbelievably excited to see eachother when I am home for breaks. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and building a relationship with them. Whether they’re energetic, shy, older, or just love attention, I like figuring out what makes each dog comfortable and happy. I think caring for pets gives me just as much joy as I give them, which is why I take it seriously and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I am a current junior at the College of Lake Forest, studying psychology and I’m as well a member of the Men’s Lacrosse team. Given that, my schedule can get fairly busy during the afternoon and early evening most days however I am very good at managing my class schedule and athletics schedule to best make time for what I need, which will be the pet. No matter what home I’m in I will provide the animal with better than proper care. Growing up with pets I’ve gained a true care for every single one of them and I can guarantee that I will provide the best environment, safety, care, and love to any pet whether it’s in my own apartment or the clients home.
“This was the first time Belle and Lucy stayed with Jean and they had a blast! She took such good care of my babies that I didn’t have to worry about them at all! We are glad to have found her and hope to use her services again in the future. Highly recommended.”
“A last minute booking on my end and Nicole was a lifesaver! Swooping in to watch my fur baby and deliver such care, attention, love and adventure. I’m very lucky to have stumbled across such a good caretaker.”
“Thank you Dee for wonderful care you provided to Nikita while we were gone. I felt confident and calm that you would take great care of her! I would love to keep in touch and use your services in the future. I also highly recommend your services to others, especially to highly worrisome and demanding pet owners:)))”
“Amy and Lamar were awesome taking great care of my energetic GSP. Lots of photos and communication kept me in the loop all day. I came home with a tired pup which is the best indicator of a fun day!!!”
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 just graduated from UMass Amherst with a degree in Pre-Veterinary Science. I have grown up with pets and taken care of them for years! I’ve had dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish! I have a lot of experience taking care of animals as I’ve interned at a zoo and volunteered at shelters and vet clinics. I’m very comfortable giving medications to pets as I’ve had a lot of practice with this with my own pets and while sitting! PLEASE READ** I am currently traveling in Europe and will not be home until October 10th. I am available after that for meet and greets or I can do virtual meet and greets as well! I am looking to move states in the coming months so I will not be available for long term sitting. My house has one kitten, and my backyard is not fenced in. I’d love to take care of your pet in either your home or mine, whichever is easiest!
About: I have had dogs my entire life and love them so much! I have experience with puppies as well as our senior friends. Walks and playtime are my specialty! I work at home and am able to take great care of your pup. I have a yard and am close to a park for plenty of outside time. I can adjust to the routine your dog is used to. I am very flexible. I take one client at a time so my whole focus will be on your dog. Just let me know your needs.
“Megan was great with my dog! She sent lots of pictures and I could tell my dog was having the best time ever. Megan was an excellent communicator and so easy to work with. I will book with again and recommend others do as well.”

About: I’ve grown up with animals. I love people who love animals! I enjoy giving ear scratches, tummy rubs and nose boops. We are a military family, with 3 furry friends. Let’s connect and hopefully you can find trust in myself with your most precious pets! I’m currently working part time. I have a flexible schedule as far as what services you may need. I’m open most weekends and week days. I can watch in your home or mine or stop by to take your dog out for the day! I have a fenced yard and a friendly husky. We are big on parks, walking and fetch.

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 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!

“Dublin’s stay at Sarah’s went well. She sent pictures and gave us a report out when we picked her up. I was a bit concerned that the fence was fairly short given that we have a lab, but she assured us she keeps the dogs on a leash whenever they’re in the yard. Thx, Sarah, we’ll definitely reach out for any future needs.”
“Kelly, along with her own pooch Maggie, were excellent companions for our puppy's first stay away from home. Kelly was on top of everything, because she's very professional and caring. I really appreciated the photos she sent each day showing that our dog was having a good time. Kelly was always on top of the entire process. Because we were traveling to and from the airport, together we made the drop off and pick up as smooth and quick as possible. Kelly's location, about five minutes from the airport, was perfect too.”

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs for over 30 years. Currently am a dog dad of a sweetheart 3 year old tri-color pitbull named Seven. We love to go on longboard skateboard rides on the lake bluff bike bath everyday. I currently work full time driving. Which allows me to get home multiple times a times per day and night to provide the best care Animals are very important to me and I always give my dog the best care and exercise possible. From multiple walks/skateboard rides per day, to always having water available and feeding at the proper time. I have even started using alcohol free wipes on dog paws before coming back inside
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.
“Mary and Norm welcomed Bambi in as part of the family and I could tell from the photos it took her no time at all to adjust to her new surroundings. She can't wait to stay with them again.”
“by far one of the best Rovers sitters we’ve had! She cared for our dog like she was their own and sent us pictures and updates throughout her stay. We would definitely book again!”
“Once again Veronique has exceeded my expectations. Was my second time having her watch my dog Jimmie. She is wonderful and she has demonstrated her passion and expertise for canine care, by taking excellent care of my dog, and by sending me numerous photos and videos of Jimmie during her many long walks in parks and forest perserves which my dog loves. I did not worry a bit with Veronique in charge. Jimmie had a super great time playing with her two dogs. I highly recommend her for dog sitting and grooming.”
“Five very waggy stars for Meghan (and her sweet pup, Ralphie)! Meghan is absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that she is a true dog lover with tons of experience, and she knew exactly how to make our dog feel safe, happy, and completely at home. Our dog was treated like a member of her family and had the time of his life playing with Ralphie and the other dogs. The adorable photos and videos gave us so much peace of mind while we were away...and honestly, I think he was a little sad to come home, which is probably the highest compliment a dog can give. We will absolutely book again. Weekend at Ralphie’s is officially dog-approved!”
