“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”
“Jayne took great care of Moxie. I travel a lot for work and being new to NYC and not knowing anyone I have to rely on Rover to find responsible people to love and care for my dog like I do. I got photo updates at least 2-3 times a day of Jayne taking Moxie out on walks, playing with her in the house, and of Moxie relaxing comfortably in Jayne's home. I could tell that she was well cared for and in good hands. Jayne reached out with questions about her eating habits and also had to deal with a lot of walks in cold and rainy weather, so I knew Moxie was in good hands. Jayne was very responsive when I reached out to her for updates. I would absolutely trust Jayne again with my dear Jack Russell Terrier.”
“We absolutely love having Diedre watching our dogs. My two pups were staying with her this weekend, and while one of my dogs was immediately very happy there, my other dog was very reactive and anxious around her dogs (this is normal for my dog - her dogs were great). Instead of it ruining our weekend, she pivoted and was so flexible and did drop in visits with our reactive/anxious dog. In the end, both of my dogs got what they wanted - Tilly got to stay and play and Sadie got to be comfortable at home, and got individualized attention. Both dogs were well taken care of and very happy. 10/10 🥰”
“Byron and Martha were great with my dogs , they kept me updated and provided me with pictures throughout the day. I really appreciate the wonderful care that they give , I would recommend as many people to book asap !!!”
“Kim was great with our dachshund. She’s very caring and communicative. She sent photos and updates so we knew our dog was in good hands. Can’t wait to book again when it’s warm for our dog to run around in her fenced backyard!”
“Megan was very welcoming and accommodated some last-minute travel plans and made Copper feel right at home. He also got along well with her three pups. He enjoyed having a fenced in backyard where he could run around and play. Thank you!”
“This was a great fit for our pup. He is an older dog, so not as active. Still loves walks, but very big on rest, relaxing and tons of cuddles. Chisato was great at sending updates, pictures, videos - I could tell he was very well cared for. Will definitely be a repeat customer, assuming schedules on both sides allow for it!”
“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.”
“We had an excellent experience with Petra and she took wonderful care of Mia while we were away on vacation. From the first meeting, it was clear that Petra genuinely loves animals and takes the responsibility seriously. She followed our instructions and gave our Mia plenty of attention and affection. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Mia was happy, comfortable, and clearly well-loved. We highly recommend Petra to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. We are incredibly grateful for her services and look forward to working with her again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Monica took the best care of my dog and provided several video updates each day. Her communication is prompt and she followed all the instructions I gave her. Highly recommend!”
“Hannah is fantastic. She is incredibly skilled and knowledgable about dogs. She sees each dog as an individual and responds to their unique needs. Nothing fazes her. She is super responsive and communicative. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“Angela & Dave took great care of Scout. Angela was very communicative and sent photo updates throughout the stay. Scout made new friends with their dogs and the others staying too.”
“Mary and Norm are the best! This was my dog’s first time staying with someone that wasn’t a friend or family so I was a little nervous. Mary sent me updates and pictures the whole time I was away and that put my mind and heart at ease. She was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to my messages. They are a wonderful couple and I wouldn’t want my dog staying with anyone else in the future . Highly recommend!!”
“Juliana is a phenomenal sitter. From the start she was very responsive to every message. She was kind and made everything super easy. She updated me with pictures and videos throughout my dogs' stay. It definitely makes it easier to leave my dog in such capable hands. We had our next time booked before the first one ended.”
“Dee was absolutely wonderful with my husky Holly. I felt totally confident that she was safe and well cared for. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing my dog was in great hands ! I highly recommend Dee !”
“Rusty was a great match for our Frankie. At the meet and greet he asked many questions to get to know Frankie's personality. We left him for 10 nights and had daily pictures/movies of Frankie. Frankie is a senior and in the hot days of July his comfort was considered. It was nice to leave him in good care.”
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover who recently relocated to the USA. While I love it here, I deeply miss the family dogs I had to leave back in my home country. Having grown up surrounded by dogs, I'm so excited to open my heart and home to your furry family member! What sets me apart is the personalized attention your dog will receive. I am currently home full-time, so caring for dogs is my main focus. My husband also works from home, which means there is almost always someone in the apartment, and your pup will rarely, if ever, be left alone. I live in a comfortable apartment with wonderful green spaces nearby for walks and outdoor time. I'm happy to adapt to your dog's unique personality and routine. If your pup loves to stay active, I'd be delighted to take them on walks or runs. If they prefer a slower pace, they're welcome to curl up on the couch with me for plenty of cuddles and relaxation. Having grown up with dogs, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your beloved pet with someone else. I'll care for your dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet your pup! I am home during the day, which allows me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout your dog's stay. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so I can easily follow your pup's established feeding, bathroom, exercise, and medication schedule. I take care of all daily walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My husband works from home full-time, so while I am your dog's primary caregiver, there is almost always someone else in the home as well. This means your dog will have plenty of companionship and will rarely, if ever, be left alone. With our flexible schedules, your pup can enjoy frequent potty breaks, regular exercise, and lots of affection throughout the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood in a ground-floor apartment, which is ideal for dogs since there are no steep stairs or elevator rides to navigate. We also have a securely gated balcony where your pup can safely enjoy some fresh air and watch the world go by. I keep my home dog-proofed, free of hazards, and calm so every guest feels comfortable and secure. While I am the one providing your dog's care, my husband works from home, so there is almost always someone in the home as well. During walks, I always keep dogs securely on a leash, stay aware of our surroundings, and prioritize their safety at all times. I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own.
“Both my 6.5-year-old Vizsla and my 3-month old Vizsla LOVE going to stay with Chris and her family. My older guy starts to shake and jump with excitement when we turn on her street, and I was worried about leaving our new puppy at home; however, with Chris' excellent love and care, they both did great. Can't recommend her enough!”
“Stella and her lovely family were absolutely wonderful with our guy. They were of course very much experienced and knowledgeable. They provided daily feedback and were very responsive to any messages. Highly recommend and would come back!”

“Alex was very hospitable and understanding throughout the entire process. He adjusted to my cat’s unique personality and gave me updates without having to ask. I will definitely be booking with Alex when I’m in the Richmond area.”
“Kristal did a great job of stopping by to care for my two cats while we were away. She is very responsive, timely and sent photos. She gave us such a peace of mind while we were away!”
“Such great service and my cats loved her! I could tell by how close they were in the pictures and one was sitting on her leg 😀 im definitely going to be using Jo again.we felt so comfortable on our small getaway knowing our cats would be cared for ❤️”
“Danielle was an amazing caregiver to our kitties. Jones was diagnosed with diabetes 2 weeks prior to a trip so we were nervous on how it would go - she truly is so thoughtful and clearly knows and loves kitties. 10/10!”
“Swagata took the absolute best care of our two cats (one we’ve had for 15 years and the other for 8). They mean so much to us and we had to be away for three months somewhere we couldn’t have them, which was honestly heartbreaking. I was so nervous we wouldn’t find someone who’d care for them like we do, but I swear she might’ve done an even better job. I think they liked her more than us by the end 😂 She totally got to know their personalities, gave them their favorite toys, helped with their sensitive stomachs, and genuinely loved them. She sent us photos all the time and I never once worried. Her house is basically cat heaven and she’s 100% the cat whisperer. If I could give her 100 stars I would because 5 doesn’t even come close. If my cats ever need to stay somewhere again, it’ll only be with Swagata. Thank you so much Swagata!! ❤️”
“Our two cats, who had never been outside of our house for more than a few hours, stayed with Asmah and her husband for 2 weeks. She was patient and loving and both took to her the moment she came to our house to meet them. Even though both cats can be quite timid, they really explored her big house and seemed very content there. Asmah communicated well about any questions that came up and sent some pictures of our boys living their best life while we had construction going on and were out of town. I highly recommend Asmah and would not hesitate to bring our cats to her again.”
“Once again, Anna went above and beyond looking after our sweet pets! I love that she always sent us daily updates on the visits and so much appreciated the sweet photos she took. She turned on & off our lights, opened & closed our curtains too.”
“Teena was great with my senior, special needs cat. In addition to taking care of the feeding and litter box, she spent quality time with him, playing and brushing him. I'm not sure he was actually happy to have me home again. ;) Thanks so much, Teena!”
“This was my first time leaving my cats with a pet sitter and it was very much worth it. Beth was great - I was able to meet with her ahead of time, right away she bonded with the cats. Beth visited my cats every day for a week and sent pictures each time. She was thoughtful and I could tell she really cared. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again.”
“Went above and beyond expectations. One of our kitties is very shy and she was able to win her over, we were so pleased by the communication and reassurance as we were away on a 5 day vacation. We highly recommend this app and Kathryn!”
“This was our first time with Sandy watching our two cats and she was fantastic! She fed our cats, changed the litter, and sent pictures during her visit. We will definitely be using her in the future!”
About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I have worked with animals of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets needing extra patience and gentle care, I understand the unique needs that come with every stage of life. My lifelong love for animals has given me extensive experience with feeding routines, daily exercise, administering medications, senior pet support, and creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while pet parents are away. I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, secure, and cared for in their own home. Whether your pet needs active playtime, companionship, special attention, or quiet comfort, I provide dependable and compassionate care tailored to each animal’s individual needs. I treat every pet like family and take pride in building trust with both pets and their owners. I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to care for your pets throughout the week. I am available 7 days a week for walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and check-ins. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, extra attention during the day, or loving care while you’re away, I have the time and dedication to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide loving attention, fresh food and water, walks, playtime, exercise, medication if needed, and plenty of companionship while their owners are away. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times. I also respect my client’s home and follow all care instructions carefully to ensure peace of mind for both pets and owners.
“Faith is the best sitter I’ve ever had!!! She took great care of my 2 cats on drop ins, and even helped out when our internet went out and again when the power went out from the storms! She put all of my nerves at ease, and the cats loved her! She’s my #1. Kind, caring, attentive, and so so so helpful.”
“Rayzel was fantastic for our five cats. She just really loves animals, so she spent a lot more time playing with them than we would have hoped for. She sent LOTS of updates and messages, and it was clear she understood the personality of each one. She was wonderful dealing with the one who needs medicine daily, and she got our extremely skittish one out of her shell. We recommend her very highly!”
About: I worked at Bark University, a doggy daycare and groomer in Mundelein. I am also a Biology major at the University of Whitewater Wisconsin, where I plan to become an animal Rehabber and caretaker. I myself own two dogs currently, and one other in the past. I love taking care of them and showing them all the love possible. My dad often goes on business trips that can last up to two weeks, leaving me to take care of my own dogs while he’s gone, so I’ve had lots of experience take care of them by myself. In addition to this I have often taken care of family friends pets while they were out of town. I’m flexible as long as I know about the schedule a day in advance to help me plan my day. I’m mostly free but will say if I’m not otherwise. I give them lots of personal attention and care. I love showing my affection for pets with lots of petting and scratches. I keep a good eye on them while outside and inside to make sure nothing happens. I walk my dogs most days of the week and will always pick up after them.
“Selena was super helpful with a very last minute holiday house sitting request. She took great care of our baby and sent updates throughout her stay. We’d definitely rebook with her again!”

“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!”
“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.”
“Megan is friendly, very good with observations and feedback, shares photos and updates throughout the day. Her home is very dog friendly, clean, and safe. Seeing her post on Rover and after our first visit to meet our dogs, it was easy to trust her with our two dogs. They were immediately happy and calm at her home.”
“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!”

“Raagini was an awesome host to our puppy. We could tell that Bailee was having a great time from all the pictures and videos we received through her stay. Bailee would come home exhausted after a day of playing with her and Nantha which is great when you have a very active puppy.”

Treat the pets the same way I would want someone to treat me and
“Deidre was AMAZING with my with two pups and can’t RECOMMEND her enough! Unfortunately, one of my dogs became very ill before I left for vacation and required extensive, round the clock care. Deirdre was able to administer all of the medications, stick to the strict food regimen, come by every 2 hours to check in, and even cleaned up all of the accidents from my sick pup. :/ She kept me updated throughout the trip with texts and pictures, asked questions when needed, and when my other dog sitter fell through at last minute, she was able to rearrange her schedule to cover. Overall, I am very grateful for her help and it truly put my mind at ease knowing Deirdre could be there to take care of them! Thank you again!”

“Sheryl is amazing!!! We have a 90 lb lab, and she handled him beautifully! Browser had such an instant positive reaction to Sheryl that we knew she was the right person. Sheryl came same day with almost no notice - I had just gotten out of the hospital and needed someone to walk Browser. She is used to handling large dogs and it showed. Great communication skills, very personable. We will definitely continue to use Sheryl - what a great find!!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have been the go to for friends and family members when they travel because I have had such a flexible schedule during my career. I am now retired so I can spoil your fur baby 24/7. I have experience with my "nephew" a very large male german shepard all the way down to my soul dog, 8 lb Ellie Mae and everything in between. Multiple dogs is not an issue either. I have watched up to three dogs all with different schedules and needs. I will also leave your house as clean if not cleaner than when you left. I would consider it an honor for you to trust me with both. I have been retired for five years which means I will only be focusing on your dogs happiness and safety. I have been busy on the trusted housesitters site for over a year and have travelled the US visiting friends and family and falling in love with many dogs and taking care of some great homes. I have plenty of references available for you as I transition to this platform. I currently don't have any animals so I'm able to give yours my undivided attention I will take your lead, and the dogs, as to what you require. I love to walk for miles, I love to be outdoors and play fetch and I also appreciate a good chill on the couch. If you dog likes to ride in the car we can go get a pup cup and stick our head out the window. Whatever rules, requirements or special needs your fur baby requires I am able to provide. I will never be gone more that four hours at an absolute maximum and that would be a rarity just depending if I am in a new area and want to explore a little. If it is local to this Chicago/Northern IL area been there/done that.
About: I've spent over a decade volunteering and working with animals across the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the Middle East — from cat shelters to training my own dog to service-dog level in obedience (sit, here, heel, center + more). My home is very clean, calm, and routine-based. Whether it's a dog who needs structure and adventure or a cat who needs a spotless litter box and quiet affection, I create a safe, happy, healthy environment and treat every pet like family, with daily photo updates. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom to a 4 month old puppy, I spend most of my time around the house. I also take the pup to the dog park / beach every day or every other day. I have a fenced in yard for my pup & I’ve worked her recall enough now that I don’t have to worry about her. She’s super trained inside and outside the house.
“Haven was so great with our dog. She was available on short notice and went above and beyond to take care of our dog that has anxiety. He felt very comfortable with her right away. I would highly recommend Haven as a dog walker/sitter!”
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover who recently relocated to the USA. While I love it here, I deeply miss the family dogs I had to leave back in my home country. Having grown up surrounded by dogs, I'm so excited to open my heart and home to your furry family member! What sets me apart is the personalized attention your dog will receive. I am currently home full-time, so caring for dogs is my main focus. My husband also works from home, which means there is almost always someone in the apartment, and your pup will rarely, if ever, be left alone. I live in a comfortable apartment with wonderful green spaces nearby for walks and outdoor time. I'm happy to adapt to your dog's unique personality and routine. If your pup loves to stay active, I'd be delighted to take them on walks or runs. If they prefer a slower pace, they're welcome to curl up on the couch with me for plenty of cuddles and relaxation. Having grown up with dogs, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your beloved pet with someone else. I'll care for your dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet your pup! I am home during the day, which allows me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout your dog's stay. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so I can easily follow your pup's established feeding, bathroom, exercise, and medication schedule. I take care of all daily walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My husband works from home full-time, so while I am your dog's primary caregiver, there is almost always someone else in the home as well. This means your dog will have plenty of companionship and will rarely, if ever, be left alone. With our flexible schedules, your pup can enjoy frequent potty breaks, regular exercise, and lots of affection throughout the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood in a ground-floor apartment, which is ideal for dogs since there are no steep stairs or elevator rides to navigate. We also have a securely gated balcony where your pup can safely enjoy some fresh air and watch the world go by. I keep my home dog-proofed, free of hazards, and calm so every guest feels comfortable and secure. While I am the one providing your dog's care, my husband works from home, so there is almost always someone in the home as well. During walks, I always keep dogs securely on a leash, stay aware of our surroundings, and prioritize their safety at all times. I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for my two dogs, along with boarding and overnight sitting for friends' pets, I’m well-versed in handling dogs of all personalities. I’ve successfully managed unexpected situations, like safely retrieving a dog who got loose from its leash. I offer reliable, loving care for your dog, ensuring they get the attention and exercise they need while you’re away! I work full-time but have availability in the early mornings and afternoons Monday through Friday and possibly on weekends on a pre-scheduled basis. I’m flexible and happy to arrange walk times that fit your schedule, ensuring your dog gets the care and attention they deserve! I’m sorry I’m not able to take care of pets inside my own home due to sensitive household members. I am happy to take care of pets at your home and outside the home.

“We absolutely love having Diedre watching our dogs. My two pups were staying with her this weekend, and while one of my dogs was immediately very happy there, my other dog was very reactive and anxious around her dogs (this is normal for my dog - her dogs were great). Instead of it ruining our weekend, she pivoted and was so flexible and did drop in visits with our reactive/anxious dog. In the end, both of my dogs got what they wanted - Tilly got to stay and play and Sadie got to be comfortable at home, and got individualized attention. Both dogs were well taken care of and very happy. 10/10 🥰”
“Byron and Martha were great with my dogs , they kept me updated and provided me with pictures throughout the day. I really appreciate the wonderful care that they give , I would recommend as many people to book asap !!!”
“Megan was very welcoming and accommodated some last-minute travel plans and made Copper feel right at home. He also got along well with her three pups. He enjoyed having a fenced in backyard where he could run around and play. Thank you!”
“This was a great fit for our pup. He is an older dog, so not as active. Still loves walks, but very big on rest, relaxing and tons of cuddles. Chisato was great at sending updates, pictures, videos - I could tell he was very well cared for. Will definitely be a repeat customer, assuming schedules on both sides allow for it!”
“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.”
“Monica took the best care of my dog and provided several video updates each day. Her communication is prompt and she followed all the instructions I gave her. Highly recommend!”
“Hannah is fantastic. She is incredibly skilled and knowledgable about dogs. She sees each dog as an individual and responds to their unique needs. Nothing fazes her. She is super responsive and communicative. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“Angela & Dave took great care of Scout. Angela was very communicative and sent photo updates throughout the stay. Scout made new friends with their dogs and the others staying too.”
“Mary and Norm are the best! This was my dog’s first time staying with someone that wasn’t a friend or family so I was a little nervous. Mary sent me updates and pictures the whole time I was away and that put my mind and heart at ease. She was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to my messages. They are a wonderful couple and I wouldn’t want my dog staying with anyone else in the future . Highly recommend!!”
“Juliana is a phenomenal sitter. From the start she was very responsive to every message. She was kind and made everything super easy. She updated me with pictures and videos throughout my dogs' stay. It definitely makes it easier to leave my dog in such capable hands. We had our next time booked before the first one ended.”
“Rusty was a great match for our Frankie. At the meet and greet he asked many questions to get to know Frankie's personality. We left him for 10 nights and had daily pictures/movies of Frankie. Frankie is a senior and in the hot days of July his comfort was considered. It was nice to leave him in good care.”

“Both my 6.5-year-old Vizsla and my 3-month old Vizsla LOVE going to stay with Chris and her family. My older guy starts to shake and jump with excitement when we turn on her street, and I was worried about leaving our new puppy at home; however, with Chris' excellent love and care, they both did great. Can't recommend her enough!”
“Stella and her lovely family were absolutely wonderful with our guy. They were of course very much experienced and knowledgeable. They provided daily feedback and were very responsive to any messages. Highly recommend and would come back!”
“Jennifer spent a week with my puppy while I was out of town, and all I can say is that she is a SAINT! I can’t stress enough how amazing, patient, and kind Jennifer was to Benny. She is great with updates and recommendations. If you need a sitter, you can’t do better than Jennifer.”
“Anna was super kind and accommodating. She did take pictures (which I so appreciate) including on walks. My dog was a bit high energy and Anna managed well - I know because he came back tired. Also, super helpful when we had to cut the trip short. TY Anna!”
“We've used them a couple of times and plan to use them again. Our dogs get along great with their dog and cat, and Raagini and her husband are so pleasant to work with! ”
