“Marta was absolutely wonderful! We boarded our dog, Marlin, with her while we were out of town for a few days, and the whole experience was fantastic. She sent us frequent updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Marlin was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. When we picked him up, he was his usual cheerful self, and we could tell he had a great time. We highly recommend Marta to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter—we’ll definitely be using her services again!”
“Yamile is super nice and you can tell she likes pets. She took good care of my dog and cat. I also appreciated that her dog was very chill, even around my cat (they barely acknowledged each other!). Would book with her again.”
“Hannah was incredible! She has such a way with dogs. You can tell from the moment you meet her, that she is just the most warm and caring person, and that extends to all the furry friends, too. She was flexible, asked all the pertinent questions, sent daily updates, and I loved all the pictures she sent. I would absolutely trust her to take care of my dog again. Highly 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.”
“Jean was amazing with my golden. I loved getting pictures and videos daily and knowing that he was having a great time. My big guy has terrible anxiety during storms and is on a high dose of anxiety medication that sometimes works. When a bad storm rolled in Jean was compassionate and loving and notified me about his condition. As a very overprotective dog mom I trust Jean and we will definitely be using her again.”
“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!”

“Michael and Janet have been wonderfully patient and compassionate with my two Chihuahuas, one of whom is elderly and has special dietary needs while the other is a rescue still getting acclimated. They took the time to win my dogs' trust, providing pets and outside time in a crate-free environment. I feel lucky to have found them!”
“Kim was wonderful sitter for Pepper. Pepper loves being at her place. The pictures and videos made us feel so happy knowing Pepper is being taken care well and look so happy. We definitely will book pepper again. Thank you Kim, you treated Pepper kike your own dog.”
“Jacob took such great care of Mia and Watson, our two Boston Terriers. The dogs had plenty of space to run and lots of fun with his dog, Murphy. I will definitely ask Jacob to pet sit again!”
“Byron and his family were excellent hosts and did a wonderful job keeping Gilbert happy. From the minute I dropped Gilbert off, I knew he would be in good hands. I was kept updated throughout the week with pics and texts, and he answered any questions I had promptly and with assurance. I will definitely have Gilbert board with Byron the next time I need to, and would recommend him as a top sitter.”

“Jason was absolutely fantastic! His check-in updates were detailed and reassuring, with photos and notes that showed the care he put in.

Both Storm and Puddles were clearly well cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old. I have experience with dogs ranging from 6 pounds to 102 pounds. I have taken care of sick dogs as well as large dogs that have trouble walking. I genuinely love and care for every dog I encounter. I have availability throughout the week from the morning to the afternoon (Mon-fri). I am happy to do up to 5 walks a day. I cannot work weekends. I’m very aware when opening a door to not let the dogs escape. I understand that some dogs don’t enjoy their crate and have learned tricks to getting them to enter. I keep a strong grip on the leash in case of a squirrel encounter.

“Can’t say enough great things about Balaji and his wife, & let’s not forget their sweet furry child, Mocha! Who has become such a best friend to our Penny.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. I’ve also taken care of senior dogs, so I know how to handle their special care. I’m very experienced in feeding and grooming, and I love the companionship it brings to a family! I am a stay at home mom, and my husband works from home, so there’s always someone there to watch and play with your fur baby! We always have lots of time for walking and playing throughout the day. I have an extremely safe neighborhood with a little park about a 3 minute walk away, two kids that love playing with dogs, (15 and 8) and an extremely friendly mini goldendoodle!
“Trust her with my eyes closed ❤️ My doggy loves Antonina and happy every time he sees her. Amazing home and amazing service, watched and took care of him as if he was her own.”
About: Hello! We love furry friends. We will spend time with your pets and take best care of them. We will let your pets feel like they are always surrounded with love. We need to go to office three days a week. We will get home around 5pm and both me and my husband can take care daily. We have a very friendly 6 years old yellow lab, Coco, at home. We go out 3 times a day and play with her very often. We will do the same thing and crated if you request.

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.
About: Dog mom for 30 years giving love and care to dogs. I am organized, I follow a schedule, I love walking dogs and I have a high degree of responsibility. I have the flexibility to accompany them when you can't be at home with them. I have flexible schedule during my day because I have my kid at the school and I am flexible in my work. Also I can go at nights if the owner request. I think the pets feel more comfortable in their home. But if the owner feels the dog will be comfortable in my place, I can take of them in my home.
About: I have had pets since I was 1 years old - whatever my parents let me get away with (dog, cats, fish, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs). As an adult I continue to own cats and dogs and currently own 2 cats. I will treat your pet as a member of my family while in my care. I nursed my cat to health from losing a kidney and he lived till he was 17yo. I nursed my geriatric dog with eye disease, arthritis until he was 14.5yo. I am more experienced with adult and geriatric pets than babies but welcome all. I am currently unemployed and seeking supplemental income. I'm also healing from CIRS/Lyme and need a walking partner to improve my health! My schedule is flexible although I do often have evening commitments with my son and his activities. My yard is large and fenced in. I live next to several walking trails and have a quiet neighborhood. I live close to a dog park and dog beach. I am familiar with crate training and administering medications.
“We’re so glad we found Nicole when we needed last-minute care for our pup — she was fantastic. Our dog warmed up to her instantly, had a great day, and the happy updates she sent throughout kept us from worrying. We’d definitely book her again!”
About: I have taken care of service dogs for 2 years in college now as part of the service dog club. I have taken care of puppies and old dogs so you’re in good hands. I’m working remote as a software engineer for a start up so I’m fully available for any time and any schedule that works for you. I live in a great suburb for tons of space for any sized dog to walk and play and tons of space inside as well.
About: As an experienced, full time dog sitter, I'm here to provide your small to medium sized dog a safe, clean, & cozy home environment. If your dog is not comfortable in a kennel, I'm your answer. As a former paraprofessional for children with special needs, and a mom, I have the experience and loving heart to meet your dog's emotional and structural needs. BOARDING: The core of my business is overnight sitting in my smoke-free home environment. Your dog will get my love and attention all day and through the night. No crating unless you request it. Protected mealtimes, proper rest, and outdoor time in my fenced in backyard. Whether your dog sleeps in a crate, a floor bed, or in my bed, I am there with your dog all night long. My mission is to keep your dog happy and healthy, and give owners peace of mind. You will receive photos and updates by text messaging throughout your dog's stay. Check out my photo gallery! Resident dog, Hawkeye, is a "Teddy Bear", (mix of Shih Tzu, Bichon Frise, and Poodle). He does not shed, and is hypoallergenic. His personality is calm and relaxed, except when the garbage trucks come by. 😉 DAYCARE: Offered only as needed for existing customers. CHECK-IN SERVICES: If you have a larger dog or cats, I can stop by to let your dogs outside, provide food and water, & clean litter boxes. On an as needed basis only, not full time. ABOUT ME: I love getting to know and care for guest dogs, and have been living with and learning about dogs for over 8 years as an owner, and over 7 years as a host. A love for dogs (and all animals) is so natural, enjoyable, and rewarding for me. My approach with dogs is based on the philosophy of Temple Grandin's “Animals in Translation” research to fulfill a dog's emotional needs first. Prior to this, for 5 years, I was a paraprofessional with the Special Education District of Lake County (SEDOL). I have experience in ABA therapy for children with autism, positive reinforcement, crisis management, and classroom management. Pet care IS my daily routine. Your pet will settle in quickly as she/he always has a person to depend on, and my friendly dog keeping watch over her/him. Your dog will enjoy outdoor freedom, fresh cold filtered water, protected meal times, comfy beds and furniture for lounging, and a nice lady who cares as much about your peace of mind as she does about your precious pet. A safe environment is a must, that’s why I have a fenced in yard, and a three door system for entering and leaving the house. I keep a clean house too.
About: I am in the externship portion of completing my professional dog training certification. I am passionate about the human/canine bond and have experience with most breeds, ages, and temperaments of dogs. I’ve spent time walking dogs for a company, on my own, in a shelter environment, and working in doggy daycare. I love to bond with dogs and learn what makes them feel safe and loved. I am currently completing my professional dog training certification and can offer services most days and times of the week. Reach out for additional questions on availability! I believe the pet parent knows what works best for their pet. I follow instructions very carefully and provide updates often. Safety and comfort of your pet are my top priorities!
About: I love animals and caring for them! I’ve had a dog myself for 8 years and cared for my friends/family’s cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and more. I have a quiet home - just myself and two grown children (20 and 17) so sitting at my home is always an option. I have a pretty flexible and open schedule since I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I can spend time with the animals and they won’t be home alone all day long. I’m also open to sitting at the owner’s home for those reasons. I like to stay active so walking/running with your animals is always fun for me :) I look forward to caring for your loved pets as they are my own! Message me with any questions.
“Lynda really helped me out with a pretty last minute request for doggy daycare. I felt comfortable leaving my dog Teddy with her and I would absolutely do it again. She sent pics and kept me updated throughout the day on how it was going. Thank you Lynda!”

They got along well even though Kellie is still a bit skittish around strangers. I was very pleased with the service we received from Rayzel.”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs since birth and lived in a neighborhood where nearly every family had dogs and they would all play together. I’m familiar with many kinds of dogs and love playing with and walking them.

Perhaps a trip to the pet store to spoil?! Don’t worry cats will love me too! I know just the spot they love scratched and will offer plenty of playtime.

“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.

“We cannot say enough good things about Peter. We found Peter on Rover during a stressful time. We had to move out of our home into temporary housing. Our usual dog walker could no longer take care of us because we were too far away. Peter stepped in and made the transition seamless. Our girls quickly came to trust him. He has been wonderful with his walk updates and reaching out with any questions. I will be sorry to lose him when we move back home and I am sure our fur-babies will too.”

“Juliana is a phenomenal sitter. From the start she was very responsive to every message. She was kind and made everything super easy.

Can't recommend her enough!”
“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.

They are a wonderful couple and I wouldn’t want my dog staying with anyone else in the future . Highly recommend!!”

“Byron and his family were excellent hosts and did a wonderful job keeping Gilbert happy. From the minute I dropped Gilbert off, I knew he would be in good hands. I was kept updated throughout the week with pics and texts, and he answered any questions I had promptly and with assurance. I will definitely have Gilbert board with Byron the next time I need to, and would recommend him as a top sitter.”
About: I’ve been a hands-on dog owner for the past 5 years and currently have a Labrador Retriever, so I understand the daily care, attention, and love dogs need to thrive. Through raising my own dog, I’ve gained experience with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and recognizing changes in behavior or mood. In addition, I’ve pet sat a puppy for two weeks, providing consistent care, supervision, and plenty of patience during an important developmental stage. I’m comfortable following specific instructions and routines to make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away. Pet care is a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and rest periods to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. Since I already care for my own dog, adding another pet into my routine is seamless, and I make sure each pet receives individualized attention and care. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on maintaining a safe, calm, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest so they feel comfortable and at home. I provide plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection, and I make sure pets are introduced slowly and safely if needed. Clean water, a tidy space, and regular updates to owners are always a priority.
“We had a great experience with boarding at Nicole’s house! Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable the whole time. We loved getting updates and photos—it made everything so easy and stress-free. You can tell how much Nicole genuinely cares about dogs. Would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”
