“Maria was amazing with my dog!! I was so nervous leaving my dog with someone other than family. Lucy is a rescue so she has been through it. Maria and her daughter took such good care of my pup and sent pictures daily.”
“Katherine and her family are beyond wonderful. They took such great care of our dog Rosie that at times we felt she was the one who was on vacation! Knowing your dog is safe and well cared for when you’re away is important. Knowing that she’s safe, well cared for AND loved is a gift.”
“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”
“Bailey is a caring, knowledgeable and experienced pet owner and caretaker. Freddy was well-cared for and I was sent several photos during the day to let me know how he was doing. Bailey was sensitive in incorporating Freddy into her pack of two dogs. I felt very comfortable and confident that Freddy was well cared for. Thank you!”
“Great communication. Very friendly and wonderful with the pets (cat and dog). Felt very comfortable they were well taken care of during our week long vacation.”
“Jenny took extremely good care of Harlem and she provided so many updates and photos. Harlem was sad to leave her at the end of his stay! Will definitely book with Jenny again.”
“It was a pleasure having tanqueray look after my baby Mya . She kept me updated with Mya and took such great care of Mya . Mya has never been away from home before so I was a bit iffy at first but tanqueray made me feel so much more calm and relaxed. Definitely will be booking with her next week”
“Barbara was amazing! She kept me updated daily and sent a lot of pictures. My dog was so happy and well taken care of. I look forward to working with Barbara again!”
“Lorraine took wonderful care of our Viszla puppy while we were out of town this summer … his experience looked like a stay at a doggy spa. He enjoyed time in the outdoor pool, played in the garden, went on lots of stimulating walks and had a comfortable bed to sleep in. Lorraine was responsive and generously sent us lots of pictures during his stay.”
“Eniya was so wonderful. She took great care of King as if he were her own. She communicated everyday sending pictures and videos. I was at ease knowing that he was in such good hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again when I need. Thank you so much Eniya!”
“Angel was great. We spent about 11 days in Europe and she took great care of Mayla. Mayla has separation anxiety so we were happy to find a sitter who has dogs at home and regularly sits other doggies. We 100% recommend Angel.”
“Michelle and her family took excellent care of my nervous pup. She went above and beyond making him comfortable, giving him lots of walks, and even gave him a bath when he needed it. Would definitely book again!”
“Jan was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our dog and treated our dog like family. We loved receiving regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We truly appreciate the kindness, professionalism, and attention Jan gave our furry family member. We'll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Sarah was excellent! She sent us photos and updates of our dog Gus while we were out of the country for two weeks. She was understanding and able to care for our senior dog with special needs. Would highly recommend!”
“I contacted Micheal on Wednesday evening after having lost power for 12 hours. They were very responsive and booked my two cats right away for the weekend. They send me photos every day and kept me up to date on how the cats were doing. Highly recommend them.”
“Malchom and his family were so good with our dogs! They get tons of play time and walks and were so tired when they got home. We will definitely book with them again.”
“Carmen and Jesus were amazing sitters for our two pups! They take the pups safety and security very seriously and are very communicative with updates, and the pups got a lot of love and attention! We will definitely be using them again!”

About: I have been caring for cats for about 2 years and have gained experience providing them with the love, attention, and care they need. My family has trusted me to look after their cats while they were away, including checking in on them, feeding them, cleaning their spaces, and making sure they had plenty of playtime and affection. I understand that every cat has their own personality and needs, whether they are playful, shy, or simply enjoy relaxing in their own space. I always take the time to make cats feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I treat every cat as if they were my own by giving them patience, attention, and lots of love !
“Marissa was fantastic! We booked her for the first time over a holiday weekend, and we couldn’t have been happier. She was very responsive and a great communicator. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, including a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Pitbull mix, so I’m very comfortable with both large and high-energy breeds. I also have experiences with extended stay puppy sitting where I managed feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and creating a calm, structured environment. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are, especially with puppies. I’m currently preparing to welcome a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very intentional about creating safe, positive experiences for dogs. I work Monday through Friday but my partner is currently home all day, so someone will always be there to care for your dog! We are open to boarding any night. Walks I am primarily available after work or sometimes the morning before. My partner is currently available most anytime! We are both reliable and detail oriented. We are prepping to bring in our very own golden retriever puppy, so will treat your dog as if they are our own! As mentioned above I work Mon-Friday roughy 8-4. My partner is currently home throughout the day so someone will always be there to care for your dog. We are open to boarding almost any day especially weekends where we are both home. Walks and drop ins work best for me before work hours or after but my partner has open availability so between us we can accommodate to you! Feel free to ask if you have any specific availability questions! :) Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and am very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and safety during walks and care. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing a safe and positive experience. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always feel confident and connected while your dog is in my care.
“All 3 of my cats were happy and well cared for when I got back. She is prompt, thorough and kind. My shy cat was friendly with her immediately which never happens. Absolutely recommend and will book again.”
“Melanie did a fantastic job dropping in on my cats. I was worried my Gidget (who's a bit shy and skittish) would hide away, but she really opened up with Melanie. What a calming presence she was for my kitties. I highly recommend using Melanie and hope to be able to call her in the future. Thanks Melanie! I came home to a house with calm and happy cats!”
About: I’ve had cats in my life forever. I raised my first cat from age 10 through marriage. I’m currently bonded to an 18 year old Balinese. I understand cats need their own routine, space, and quiet time, and I’m happy to give them exactly that while you’re away.
“Ellen was amazing with my shy cat. She made sure to take lots of pictures and followed up about how my cat was doing. She was extremely sweet and very thoughtful. I felt totally at ease knowing my cat was in good hands. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“I can't say enough great things about Jacqui! They went above and beyond while checking on my dog, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pup was in such good hands. Not only did they make sure all the basics were covered—food, water, bathroom breaks, but they also took the time to give my dog some love, playtime, and attention, which made all the difference. I got regular updates (including some adorable photos!), and I could tell my dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It’s clear that Jacqui truly loves animals and treats them like their own. Reliable, kind, and completely trustworthy. I'd recommend Jacqui to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry family members. Thank you so much for everything!”
“Sofia is so kind and sweet to our kitties. I feel better leaving them in her care. She takes lots of pictures of her visit and does absolutely everything that we all of her. She even takes the time to play with them a bit”
“Jamie is a super star at our house. She watched my old cat for a few days and he instantly felt comfortable around her. I’m definitely booking her services again, and you should too!”
“Samantha was great with the cats. They let her pet them the first time she met them. She was very understanding of the complex situation I was in to have someone watch my daughter's cats.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, they always have a special place in my heart! Whenever my parents go on business trips or vacations, I’m the one they trust to stay behind & care for the pets. I’ve shared my life with cats all my life & of all sizes and personalities, so I understand that every cat has different boundaries, comfort levels, and ways of showing affection. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, or simply enjoys a calm company, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, & care I’d want for my own babies!

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. My love for animals comes from raising my own dogs, especially my sweet girl, Roxi, whom I was fortunate to have from the time she was a puppy until she crossed the Rainbow Bridge in February 2026 at 15 years old. Caring for her through every stage of life gave me firsthand experience with senior dog care, medication schedules, mobility assistance, and the extra patience, compassion, and love that aging pets deserve. I'm comfortable maintaining feeding routines, administering oral medications, providing potty breaks, and recognizing when a dog's behavior or health seems out of the ordinary. I understand that every dog has a different personality, energy level, and comfort needs, and I adapt my care to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved. For puppies, I'm happy to reinforce the training and routines you're already working on, including crate training, potty schedules, basic commands, and positive reinforcement. I know consistency is important, and I'll follow your instructions to help keep your puppy on track. You'll also receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, comfortable, and in caring hands. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I work a hybrid full-time position, which allows me flexibility throughout the week. I carefully manage my calendar and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to, ensuring every pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it's morning walks, evening visits, overnight stays, or weekend care, I plan my schedule around each pet's needs. I believe reliability and consistency are just as important as love and affection, so I make it a priority to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible.

“My Shih Tzu, Coco had his first visit with Erica and her family. He was very excited to meet them and he had a great time. I got photos that reassured me he was happy and didn't seem to show any of the separation anxiety he has had. I'm happy to recommend Erica and Ricardo to all and I am definitely adding them to my list of fave Rover people.”

As a proud dog owner ourselves, the pups are never far from our minds and will get plenty of attention…maybe too much lol
“Marissa was great! We feel very lucky to have found her to hang out with our two dogs for the day. Her house was perfectly well suited to host our dogs and it seems they had a good day :)”
“Amie and her family were great! They were able to accommodate our last-minute request, which was so awesome, and we realize it wasn't a given. They were warm and inviting. Satchel clearly felt comfortable right away as he tried to get into their home. Their dog was super sweet and ADORABLE and got along well with our dog. We got cute photos throughout the day with updates. Satchel was pooped when we picked him up and looked like a happy dog. Oh, and their kiddo was super sweet and asked for Satchel to come back. That was super special!”
“Yuetong is amazing. I am so happy and grateful that Haku had a wonderful day with her today. She took him to the dog park and he had a blast! Haku is always so excited to see Yuetong and her fur babies. We can’t wait to see them again!”

“Karen takes such great care of my baby. She is so kind, loving, attentive. I really appreciate her excellent communication, frequent updates, and professionalism. We can’t wait to see her again!”
“Luisa helps us to feel like our Murphy is safe and cared for while we are at work. She’s great at updating pictures throughout the day and he LOVES it there. They even let him borrow a toy to keep until next daycare. The best!”
“Malchom and his family are the dog sitters you are looking for. He is on the spot with communication. The pictures I relieved of Fritz playing and resting with his children and the warm updates about walks left me feeling that he was exceptionally well taken care of which is of course a welcomed delight during a hard day of work. If you’re in the Oak Park area and in need of some doggy day care Malchom is the preferred choice.”

Along with dogs, I am comfortable with cats. We have 2 orange cats of our own. I am available for walks, play dates and more. I am a teacher and have the summer off.

“My’Anna has been amazing! From the very start, she was quick to reply to our initial request, which gave us peace of mind that our dog would be taken care of. She’s been incredibly gentle and patient with our dog as well. It’s been great to see how Tamalito grows more comfortable with her- we even catch him waiting by the door for her visits on our cameras!”

About: Hi! My name is Chris, and I’ve spent over 10 years professionally working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My background includes dog daycare, boarding, overnight care, kennel management, administering medications, caring for senior dogs, supervising large playgroups, and professional dog training. While I currently work as a Keyholder in retail management, my passion has always been caring for animals, and I love being able to spend my free time doing what I enjoy most. One thing that sets me apart is my ability to understand canine body language and recognize when a dog is stressed, excited, nervous, or simply wants space. Every dog is different, and I take the time to build trust and provide care that matches their individual personality and needs. Although I’m not actively teaching training classes anymore, I still use the skills I’ve learned over the years to reinforce good manners, encourage positive behaviors, and create a calm, structured environment for the dogs in my care. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, a senior who needs extra patience, or just wants someone to play, cuddle, and keep them company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re one of my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and receiving the same care I’d give my own family. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! Pet care has always been a part of my life, even after transitioning into retail management. I work full-time as a Keyholder, but I schedule my Rover services around my work so every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a great way for me to stay connected to a field I’ve been passionate about for over 10 years. Outside of work, I spend time with my own pets and make sure they receive the same love and attention I give every animal in my care. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, overnight stay, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care while keeping you updated every step of the way. I believe every pet deserves care that’s tailored to their individual needs and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their schedule as consistent as possible, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of love and attention. I know routines help pets feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. I always treat my clients’ homes with the same respect I would expect someone to treat mine. I’ll clean up after your pet, keep food and water areas tidy, wipe muddy paws when needed, and make sure everything is secure before I leave. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well. If pets are staying in my home, they’ll have a safe, clean, and calm environment where they’re treated like family. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and downtime based on their personality and energy level. My priority is always your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. With over 10 years of professional experience working with dogs and cats, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies, kittens, seniors, and those who require medication or extra patience.
About: I am able to care for a variety of furry friends, ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I do have some personal (not professional) experience in training that follows respect, obedience, and basic commands! Keeping your pup active, in a safe environment and always loved are my top priorities ☺️ I also offer pet taxi services - if your fur baby happens to have an upcoming vet service or even grooming service, I will happily provide transportation! These options will count as a scheduled ‘Drop in’ visit if you’re interested! 😊 Im currently a med school student but am in the process of transitioning from clerkships to elective year so with some extra free time, I am able to tend to your pets needs throughout most times of the day. My schedule does vary depending on the specialty / clinic I’ll be in, but the details can be sorted out with the needs you and your pets require! I have 3 dogs myself, 2 of them currently reside with my parents up north due to me being here for medical school while my fiance and I travel with our sweet newly adopted girl. My pups love to run around and get as much play time as possible so I’m used to the high energy pups!

“Katherine and her family are beyond wonderful. They took such great care of our dog Rosie that at times we felt she was the one who was on vacation! Knowing your dog is safe and well cared for when you’re away is important. Knowing that she’s safe, well cared for AND loved is a gift.”
“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”
“Jenny took extremely good care of Harlem and she provided so many updates and photos. Harlem was sad to leave her at the end of his stay! Will definitely book with Jenny again.”
“Lorraine took wonderful care of our Viszla puppy while we were out of town this summer … his experience looked like a stay at a doggy spa. He enjoyed time in the outdoor pool, played in the garden, went on lots of stimulating walks and had a comfortable bed to sleep in. Lorraine was responsive and generously sent us lots of pictures during his stay.”
“Eniya was so wonderful. She took great care of King as if he were her own. She communicated everyday sending pictures and videos. I was at ease knowing that he was in such good hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again when I need. Thank you so much Eniya!”
“Malchom and his family were so good with our dogs! They get tons of play time and walks and were so tired when they got home. We will definitely book with them again.”
“Carmen and Jesus were amazing sitters for our two pups! They take the pups safety and security very seriously and are very communicative with updates, and the pups got a lot of love and attention! We will definitely be using them again!”
“John did a great job with our 125lb Bernese Mtn Dog, Georgia. From the pictures we received every day, it was clear Georgia was getting a lot of love and attention. She had a fenced in back yard and a very friendly playmate. We definitely plan to use John again!”
“Katarina was so patient with Luna and I appreciated the whole process from the intro to the pick up!! She made me and Luna feel extremely welcomed and shared plenty of pictures. I would absolutely use her again and would recommend! 10 out of 10, no notes!”
“Tamara is amazing! She picked up Luna for us and even dropped her off before we came back from out of town. Luna had an amazing time playing with Tamara dogs. She has a huge backyard for dogs to play and she loves Luna like she is her own. She even left us some treats for Luna. I recommend Tamara for any services with your fur babies.”
“Angel was great with Ollie and did a great job with sending us updates and pics/videos of what Ollie was up to while we were away. Would recommend his services!”
“Laurianne and Sven were amazing! They sent updates and pictures each day and I felt like my pup was in good hands the whole time. Will definitely be using them again on future trips!”
“Adolfo was very responsive and worked with my dog Lily to ensure she was comfortable! He sent me daily picture updates, which help someone nervous with leaving their pup behind. I would recommend Adolfo and would use him again in the future if needed!”
“Emily was very responsive and kept me up to date on how things were going with lots of pics/videos. It’s our second time booking and feel very confident our dog feels comfortable/safe with her!”
About: I’ve owned dogs most of my life and consistently for the past 11 years — small or large, puppy or senior, I love them all. My own pets thrive on routine, so your dog will get consistent walks, feeding times, and plenty of attention while you’re away. I currently share my home with a pug and an 18-year-old cat, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and energy levels. Pug mom + cat whisperer offering a loving, low-key place to stay I work from home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches — they’ll get plenty of company, attention, and bathroom/play breaks built right into my day. Pet care isn’t an interruption to my routine, it’s part of it. Your dog will get long walks through my beautiful neighborhood, plus supervised outdoor time tethered out front alongside my pug (my yard is unfenced, so all outdoor time is supervised). I’m happy to crate your pet if you provide one, and I’ll keep them on whatever feeding and routine schedule they’re used to at home.
“Ruben took my Anubis on such short notice and if I could give him 10 stars I would. He was very communicative and consistent with updates/pictures. While away on a long business trip, every time I worried I was able to simply check my phone for peace of mind. So glad we chose Ruben and I will be using him again in the future.”
“Beryl was great to work with, and I would definitely want to book her again. She is organized and prompt in her communication and super reliable with rover responsibilities. Plus the dog (s) were a big fan of hers as well. They knew they were safe and well-cared for. Thanks Beryl!”
