“Angela took great care of Zoro, and he was clearly happy and comfortable during his stay. He loved playing with the other dogs, which made the experience even better. Angela was very kind and flexible, especially when our pick-up time changed due to a delayed flight, and we really appreciated her understanding and support. Zoro had a lovely time, and overall it was a very positive experience. Highly recommend!!”
“Kim took such wonderful care of our Pug. She even put the dog show on TV and Millie loved it. Kim sent photos throughout the week and it let us enjoy our time away knowing she was in a loving home”
“Definitely coming back if I ever need a sitter again! There were so great with our furbaby and communicating and sending pictures, she had so much fun I think she was a little sad to leave. 10/10”
“Debbie & Tom are wonderful! They love Cooper like he is their own and are great about sending us pictures of him each day. They took such good care of our dog that we didn’t have to worry at all. We will definitely have Cooper stay with them again. 🐾”
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve had the joy of raising two dogs from puppies, giving me firsthand experience with everything from potty training and basic training to the high energy and patience that young dogs require. I have been dog sitting for friends & family in Michigan & Illinois for 3 years now. In my professional life, I’m an Occupational Therapist who works with older adults. I regularly help residents safely care for and enjoy time with their beloved pets, so I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior, adapting to individual needs, and providing calm, attentive care. I’m also comfortable with senior dogs who may need a slower pace. Because I’m young and active, I love getting outside for walks, playtime, and adventures that help energetic dogs stay happy and engaged. Whether your pup wants a long walk, a game of fetch, or just lots of cuddles and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and routine. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own, so you can feel confident they’re safe, loved, and having a great time while you’re away! I work a normal 9-5 Monday-Friday. Therefore I prefer to do Friday afternoon-Sunday evening stays! This way I am available 24/7 for the pet. I have a fenced in yard (that is also dig proof). I currently have one very friendly dog who would be eager to any pups companion. My dog is allowed on furniture/in beds. We have a lot of sidewalks & trails within our neighborhood for walks. I have multiple security cameras.
“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!”
“My pet had spent the fantastic days in her house because I felt he didn’t want to go back home with me. I appreciated about what I could get good travel due to her care.”
“Sammy and Rico had a great time and felt at home! Id highly recommend boarding your dog or dogs with Stella. She gave regular updates with pics. Of the boys. Greatly appreciated that! Thank you”
“Heather is seriously the BEST! This was our second time having her watch Arlo, and I already feel so comfortable leaving him with her. She had him for an overnight and two days, and I never once had to worry. She sent me pictures and updates and was so kind and reassuring the entire time. You can genuinely tell how much she cares about the dogs she watches, and that means everything to me. Arlo is my baby, and knowing he is safe, loved, and being well cared for makes it so much easier to leave him. We absolutely adore Heather and will 100% continue using her whenever we can! ❤️🐾”
“Thanks to Rusty, I was at ease traveling for a few days with the dogs in his care. Rusty has a dog-friendly space indoors and out and was attentive to the dogs’ individual personality traits and needs. This was the first time I’ve left them with a sitter and both dogs responded well and appeared comfortable. It’s a huge relief to know that Rusty is available to care for my dogs if I need to be away.”
“My 6-yo German Shepherd had a wonderful time at Dee's place! My dog, who is a rescue and doesn't do very well at pet hotels (she always gets stressed out and gets diarrhea) didn't have any health issues after I picked her up from Dee's house. Dee is amazing - she takes care of your dog with such love and care, as if they are her own! I'd definitely go back to Dee next time we need a sitter and she's available!”
“Tommy and Julie were great. They watched my two dogs for six days and provided me with updates and videos multiple times per day. It was clear my boys were safe, happy, and loved while there. Will definitely be working with Tommy and Julie in the future when I have to leave town!”
“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!”
“We greatly appreciated Mary & Norman. This is our first time using Rover for our friendly and energetic husky. We liked how our husky was the only dog during his stay. We did a meet and greet with Mary and Norman and knew right away that they were the perfect place for our dog. They took our husky on 4-6 walks each day and he had so much fun. We were communicated daily with updates. We had zero worries or issues with the stay and with arranging times that mutually worked for us for drop off and pick up. We can’t wait for the next visit!”
“Chisato was exceptional with caring for our Lexxie. We made the best decision ever for the care of our dog. For seventeen days Chisato would take time to send photos and videos of our dogs activities. They were quite humorous and lovable. Lexxie was safe and adjusted quickly. All of our dogs needs were met along with her medicine, feedings, play time, and those walks during the freeze for several days. If anyone desires to have a reliable committed dog boarder, I totally recommend Chisato 100%!!!❤️”
“They were absolutely amazing! I was nervous to leave my dog because he is big and has a lot of energy but he did such a good job, and they stayed in constant communication with me and sent me pictures which eased my nervousness! They are super friendly and love dogs!”
“Kathy took amazing care of Clark for 10 nights while I was on a cruise. This was the first time he had ever stayed with a sitter through Rover and not with a family member so I was very nervous. Kathy sent pictures and updates which helped to calm my nerves. When I picked Clark up he seemed sad to leave! He has such a great time with Kathy, her family and her dog Bella. I would 100% leave Clark in Kathy’s care again. Thank you, Kathy!”
“Repeat customer. Diane takes great care of our Princess and we are very happy with her dog sitter services. We can travel with peace of mind knowing our dog is being well cared for by Diane.”

“Hope was very attentive and communicative. I felt comfortable leaving my furbabies with her. I loved seeing the pictures of them everyday. Will definitely use Hope again.”
“Sam did an excellent job of taking care of Mya and Harley, even though they probably hid from her the entire time, LOL. We were very confident that she would handle their care and came home to healthy cats. We will use Sam again in August when we leave for a longer trip.”
“This is the second summer in a row that we've booked Hannah to care for our cat while we were away on our extended vacation. We can't thank her enough for the wonderful care she gave Edison. Her regular updates and photos gave us great peace of mind, and it was clear that Edison truly enjoyed Hannah's company. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter. We'll definitely book her again!”

About: Cats have been part of my family my entire life so I truly understand their unique personalities and needs.

I treat every cat like my own. My goal is to make them feel relaxed, safe, and happy while you are away.
“Ashley did a great job with our cat! She followed my (albeit annoying) instructions so well and I felt very confident in our cat’s safety & health while we were gone. 10/10 recommend!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs of many different kinds and have several years of hands-on experience caring for them in addition to caring for my own family dogs. I’ve pet sat for friends and family and have helped care for my roommates puppies since she first came home. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and sticking to each pet’s normal routine.

I will follow your pets regular schedule for meals, water refills, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any other care instruction you provide.

I also value open communication and will keep you updated with messages and photo so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Brianna took amazing care of my 3 kitties. They absolutely loved her. Her communication was excellent and my cats barely noticed I was even gone. She did the cutest arts and crafts projects with them, brushed them, took out the trash and left my place spotless (other than the amazing arts and crafts I came home to.) All of my instructions were followed perfectly, she never left any trash behind, and brought so many treats and toys for the kitties! She came to meet the kitties ahead of time and bonded with them so fast. I would trust Brianna with my cats in a heartbeat and I don’t even trust my parents with them.”

“Kim is patient and loving and Frankie enjoyed his long walk and time playing in the large fenced in yard. We are so happy that we found Kim to watch our puppy when we have family outings. Thank you so much!”
“Thanit and her family did a fantastic job caring for our puppy Boots. We dropped her off for daycare on two consecutive days and Boots was sad to leave both days. We received lots of photos and videos of Boots having a great time indoors and out. She received so much love and attention. We highly recommend Thanit and will definitely rebook if we need daycare in the future. So pleased with our experience!”
“Rusty has a wonderful, gentle way with dogs. Mine is an anxious, large 8 month old puppy. She warmed up to him right away and ran around in the large gated backyard, along with going to walks. I will definitely book with Rusty again and recommend him to everyone.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Tommy received ! From the moment we arrived, Swagata made us feel welcome and at ease. Tommy can be a little shy at first, but he warmed up quickly thanks to the friendly and attentive caregiver. Throughout the day, I received photo updates showing Tommy playing, lounging , and getting lots of love. It was clear he was having a blast and felt completely safe and comfortable. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and ready for a nap — always a sign of a fun-filled day! I’m so grateful to have found a place where Tommy is treated like family. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you, Swagata, for taking such great care of my boy!”
“We had the absolute pleasure of having our dog cared for by this amazing family, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. They welcomed our pup into their home like she was one of their own with lots of love, attention, and even some playful spoiling (just the right amount!). Communication was excellent throughout the stay. We received regular updates, pictures, and sweet messages that showed just how happy and comfortable she was. It was clear our dog was being treated not just like a pet, but like part of their family. The environment is clean, safe, and filled with good energy. Their genuine love for animals really shines through in everything they do. If you’re looking for a dog sitter who is trustworthy, kind, and truly goes above and beyond, look no further. We’re so grateful to have found them on such a short notice.”
“Amazing! I had no worries all day about my dog as I was sent many videos and also text messages of updates for him! 10/10 would very much recommend! Thank you so much again!!!”
“Tom looked after my little pup snooper for a few hours and snooper was calm and happy when I picked him up. I appreciate how prepared they are.. it really conveys another level of care for our pups. We have been there a couple times when in town, and I appreciated their flexibility because I didn’t know how long I would be away. Definitely recommend. Thanks Tom (and debbie)”

As a nurse, I bring the same level of dedication and attentiveness to my dog-sitting services, ensuring each pet receives the care and comfort they deserve. At home, I have a 4-year-old miniature schnauzer and a playful 2-year-old toddler, so I understand the importance of a safe and loving environment.

I understand that every dog has different energy levels and habits, so I am happy to accommodate owner requests to ensure their pets feel comfortable, active, and well-cared for throughout the day. While I do not have a fenced backyard, I prioritize safety by always keeping dogs leashed during outdoor time. Whether going for a walk or spending time outside, I follow all necessary safety measures to ensure each pet’s well-being. I understand the importance of secure handling and will always adhere to owner preferences and best practices to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for every dog in my care.

About: Hello! My name is Sam; I’m an experienced petsitter and have worked with animals - including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and small rodents - nearly my entire life. I volunteered at Save-A-Pet in Grayslake for over 6 years. Additionally, I worked as a dog handler at Central Bark doggy daycare in Grayslake, and was a stablehand at Shorewood Acres in Grayslake for 4 years. These experiences fine-tuned my ability to read dog and cat body language and behavior, ensuring that your pets are safe! I am Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid & CPR Certified. Additionally, I have my own 90lb GSD/staffy mix, who helped me learn so much more about dog training, enrichment, and nutrition.

I currently WFH on a flexible schedule, so I am super flexible on bookings! I am able to make weekdays, nights, weekends, and mornings work to fit your needs. FOR OVERNIGHT CARE, PLEASE READ: If you are seeking overnight pet-sitting, please note that I can only stay overnight for clients whose pets are dog-friendly, as my own dog would need to come with so that he is cared for overnight as well. I would require a meet and greet (these are free!) before your set dates to make sure they get along; my pup has never met a dog that he doesn't like! I am huge on safety and comfort for every pet that I work with. To ensure the safety of both your pets and myself, I consistently monitor body language and behavior to assess how your pet is feeling! I follow all special instructions given to me to a T.

I am home nearly around the clock, and committed full time to giving great care and attention to my highly -valued dog guests.

I have a very laid back and easy-going approach and style that I have had great success with in relating to and connecting with dogs and their pet parents. I am very tuned in to their body language, and very adept at reading their emotions. My home is on a 1/2 acre fenced in wooded lot with a cabin like interior and country atmosphere that is both welcoming , safe, and fun for my dog guests, and I make it a top priority to treat your dogs like family.

My dog is my best friend and a huge part of my life. He’s very well-behaved and loved beyond measure. I will make sure he’s cared for with consistency, comfort, and affection — from regular meals and potty breaks to lots of attention and snuggles. He’s treated like family, and I’d do the same for any pet I care for.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs of many different kinds and have several years of hands-on experience caring for them in addition to caring for my own family dogs. I’ve pet sat for friends and family and have helped care for my roommates puppies since she first came home. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and sticking to each pet’s normal routine. I know every dog has their own personality, so I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I also enjoy keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they have peace of mind. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day whether your pet needs morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, and overnight care. I’m more than happy to work with your schedule to meet their needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep the routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I will follow your pets regular schedule for meals, water refills, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any other care instruction you provide. I believe every pet deserves plenty of attention, patience and affection, so I’ll make sure they receive the companionship and exercise they need while you’re away. I also value open communication and will keep you updated with messages and photo so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Angela took great care of Zoro, and he was clearly happy and comfortable during his stay. He loved playing with the other dogs, which made the experience even better. Angela was very kind and flexible, especially when our pick-up time changed due to a delayed flight, and we really appreciated her understanding and support. Zoro had a lovely time, and overall it was a very positive experience. Highly recommend!!”
“What an angel Kim was to our family! It helped make our vacation that much more enjoyable knowing our big guy was being taken care of! She took such great care of our senior mastiff... for 9 days! Always replied promptly and provided us with picture updates! We are so happy & will be using Kim in the future! She was so flexible with keeping him an extra night! Thanks so much Kim!”
“Definitely coming back if I ever need a sitter again! There were so great with our furbaby and communicating and sending pictures, she had so much fun I think she was a little sad to leave. 10/10”
“Debbie & Tom are wonderful! They love Cooper like he is their own and are great about sending us pictures of him each day. They took such good care of our dog that we didn’t have to worry at all. We will definitely have Cooper stay with them again. 🐾”
“My baby boi loves going to see Tony's family and has been several times. What I love is that Thompson gets excited when we pull up as he wants to go play with his friends. I'll continue to rebook and only great things to say!”
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve had the joy of raising two dogs from puppies, giving me firsthand experience with everything from potty training and basic training to the high energy and patience that young dogs require. I have been dog sitting for friends & family in Michigan & Illinois for 3 years now. In my professional life, I’m an Occupational Therapist who works with older adults. I regularly help residents safely care for and enjoy time with their beloved pets, so I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior, adapting to individual needs, and providing calm, attentive care. I’m also comfortable with senior dogs who may need a slower pace. Because I’m young and active, I love getting outside for walks, playtime, and adventures that help energetic dogs stay happy and engaged. Whether your pup wants a long walk, a game of fetch, or just lots of cuddles and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and routine. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own, so you can feel confident they’re safe, loved, and having a great time while you’re away! I work a normal 9-5 Monday-Friday. Therefore I prefer to do Friday afternoon-Sunday evening stays! This way I am available 24/7 for the pet. I have a fenced in yard (that is also dig proof). I currently have one very friendly dog who would be eager to any pups companion. My dog is allowed on furniture/in beds. We have a lot of sidewalks & trails within our neighborhood for walks. I have multiple security cameras.
“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!”
“Sammy and Rico had a great time and felt at home! Id highly recommend boarding your dog or dogs with Stella. She gave regular updates with pics. Of the boys. Greatly appreciated that! Thank you”
“Heather is seriously the BEST! This was our second time having her watch Arlo, and I already feel so comfortable leaving him with her. She had him for an overnight and two days, and I never once had to worry. She sent me pictures and updates and was so kind and reassuring the entire time. You can genuinely tell how much she cares about the dogs she watches, and that means everything to me. Arlo is my baby, and knowing he is safe, loved, and being well cared for makes it so much easier to leave him. We absolutely adore Heather and will 100% continue using her whenever we can! ❤️🐾”
“Thanks to Rusty, I was at ease traveling for a few days with the dogs in his care. Rusty has a dog-friendly space indoors and out and was attentive to the dogs’ individual personality traits and needs. This was the first time I’ve left them with a sitter and both dogs responded well and appeared comfortable. It’s a huge relief to know that Rusty is available to care for my dogs if I need to be away.”
“Tommy and Julie were great. They watched my two dogs for six days and provided me with updates and videos multiple times per day. It was clear my boys were safe, happy, and loved while there. Will definitely be working with Tommy and Julie in the future when I have to leave town!”
“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!”
“We greatly appreciated Mary & Norman. This is our first time using Rover for our friendly and energetic husky. We liked how our husky was the only dog during his stay. We did a meet and greet with Mary and Norman and knew right away that they were the perfect place for our dog. They took our husky on 4-6 walks each day and he had so much fun. We were communicated daily with updates. We had zero worries or issues with the stay and with arranging times that mutually worked for us for drop off and pick up. We can’t wait for the next visit!”
“Ms. Deidre took great care of Paisley!!! She communicated frequently with videos, pictures and updates throughout our 2 week off. Paisley felt very comfortable and loved! Having Milo as a playmate also played a huge part in Paisley having a great time. We highly recommend Ms. Deidre and we are sure to continue using her services as our needs arise. Thank you so much, Ms. Deidre and Milo!! :)”
“Chisato was exceptional with caring for our Lexxie. We made the best decision ever for the care of our dog. For seventeen days Chisato would take time to send photos and videos of our dogs activities. They were quite humorous and lovable. Lexxie was safe and adjusted quickly. All of our dogs needs were met along with her medicine, feedings, play time, and those walks during the freeze for several days. If anyone desires to have a reliable committed dog boarder, I totally recommend Chisato 100%!!!❤️”
“I appreciate Jennifer’s help so very much. She treated Tony the dog so very well and even let me know how he was doing day to day. She really helped us both out so very much and I hope to get her help in the future!”
“Veronique took so great care of our Lola, we will definitely want Lola (Boxer Bosten Mix) have Lola in her care again in the future! We received updates woth little clips and pictures as well infos to her dog friends.”
“Repeat customer. Diane takes great care of our Princess and we are very happy with her dog sitter services. We can travel with peace of mind knowing our dog is being well cared for by Diane.”
