Highly-rated overnight sitters - Mount Prospect
“Bob was amazing! We were out of town for 3 weeks longest we left our guys and I couldn't have felt more confident knowing they were cared for and loved while we were away. Bob treats my pups like family!”
“Dartagnan was great at taking care of Axel. When I first met him for a meet and greet, I could tell he was knowledgeable about dogs. One thing I really liked was that he is always quick to address any mischievous behaviors that comes from too much excitement. He also sent me daily photos, which was reassuring. As someone who used to dog sit on Rover, I have high expectations. Dartagnan and his partner have exceeded them. Will definitely book with them again the next time I’m out of town.”
“Kaylee is the absolute best!! She cares for our puppy weekly but had him for a very long weekend and provided some many great updates and even when our guy was anxious - she was so attentive!!! The best of the best.”
“Eileen was very responsive in email communication with us regarding caring for our two dogs. She took time to understand the feeding requirements for each pet. In addition, Eileen provided updates and photos during our travels. We could tell our pets were having a good time during the stay. Thank you Eileen.”
“Lori was great! Sent some photos and kept us updated on how the dogs were doing. When they came home they were in much better shape both mentally and physically than when we had boarded them at the Kennels.”
“Kenzie had an amazing time, she came home happy and I could tell she missed playing with her new friends. Loved having her stay with Marta in an environment similar to home with the added benefit of doggie friends!”
“Donna was absolutely outstanding. Five stars aren't nearly enough to describe how absolutely pleased I am. Donna was the absolute next best thing to being there myself. I didn't have to spend even a second wondering how Iris was doing, as she kept me up to date with her walks, meals, and even trips to the park. (She even sent lovely photos of Iris snuggling under the covers!) You can tell Donna has had a ton of dog experience. Iris can be very slow to warm to folks and can be a bit nervous, but she instantly hit it off with Donna. This was my first time leaving Iris with someone other than family, and I truly can't thank Donna enough for putting any anxiousness at ease--Iris's or mine. ;) Thank you so, so, so much, Donna!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't have been happier with Hannah. She sent frequent pictures and updates and kept our typically very anxious pup happy and content. We are hoping to use her again soon in the future!”
“udith was wonderful with Linny! My biggest concern when using Rover is that Linny tends not to eat when he's in a new environment. Judith treated him like he was her own and made sure he was eating properly. Whenever he wasn't interested in food, she spent extra time playing with him to help build up his appetite. It was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being. I would definitely book with Judith again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter.”
“Thomas is an amazing sitter, and communicating with him is very smooth. He sends me photos of my dog and keeps me updated on how he's doing. He was very patient waiting for me before I picked up Echo. I will continue to use him as a sitter in the future.”
“Maria is the absolute best! We have worked with Maria a few times and she is our favorite resource for boarding. She is outstanding with our 2 dogs. One of my boys is a senior and requires gentle care. Maria goes above and beyond to meet the needs of my boy. She is so communicative and cordial. Truly the gold standard!”
“We LOVED Stephanie & Kevin! They were so great with our dog! He stayed for a week and they provided daily updates and pictures showing that he truly made himself at home. He was best buds with their dog and they had lots in common! It was our first time using them and they seemed to genuinely love our dog and take such great care of him. I highly recommend them! We will definitely use again!”
“My dog Poppy loves staying with Mary and her family. Mary was also very flexible with pickup time when my travel got delayed which was so nice and took some of the stress of the delay away.”
“Kimberly greeted me and my dog at the door and was very enthusiastic to see us. Her home presented well and was very inviting to dogs. She sent photos throughout the stay, which was great! I will use her services again when the occasion arises.”
“Gracie had a wonderful time. She was very, very well taken care of. I had pictures at least twice a day that made me feel that she was so safe. She seemed happy and having a very good time and very comfortable. I will not hesitate to use Susan again if I need Gracie to be watched, they’re very nice people. I feel that I have also made new friends for life.”
“Regarding our plans for spring break, our plans changed multiple times and we were in need of care for our dog kind of last minute considering spring break timing. I am grateful that Kent was able to help us out. Kent was very easy to work with and he took great care of Tansey. He provided daily updates and sent some pictures of Tansey. Kent is very kind and it shows that he really enjoys caring for dogs. Thank you Kent!”
“Scott was an amazing dog sitter! He sent us photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog, Tany, ate well, looked happy, and had so much fun during the stay. It was clear that Scott took wonderful care of Tany. Thank you for giving our dog such a fun and loving experience. We truly appreciate everything and would definitely book with you again!”
“Julie & Mark provided the BEST overnight experience for my dog, Elsie. They really cared for her as if she was their own and sent many cute updates with pictures. They kept her active in their fenced in back yard playing catch and playing with their dog.”
“Thea is the best dog sitter I have ever encountered. She is loving, caring, patient, flexible and with lots of experiences with dogs. She provided us plenty of updates, photos, and suggestions to improve my handling with dog. She is truly appreciated and we will definitely book her again.”

“I was hesitant to use Rover when I was in a bind needing care for my cat on a last minute trip. I ended up picking Jenny and was so glad I did. We talked before I left and I felt at ease leaving my boy in her care. She kept in contact with me every day I was gone, sending me several pictures daily. I came home to a happy loving cat. I will not hesitate to use Jenny again!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Melanie! She took excellent care of my cat and carefully followed all my instructions. Communication was easy and she also updates with photos everyday. I highly recommend Melanie!”

“Scott took amazing care of our senior cat, Quinn, for a week. Quinn is diabetic, so Scott administered insulin twice a day. Scott fed Quinn twice a day and emptied the litter box. He even was very kind to bring in our mail each day. He stayed to keep Quinn company each time he visited and sent us a picture each time so we could see our fur baby. He was so good about keeping everything clean and in good shape. We will definitely re-book with Scott when we travel in the future! Thank you Scott!”
“Karina is the best!! I loved her daily, detailed updates that included pictures and videos, and she took amazing care of my cats! They loved playing with her! She truly went above and beyond- leaving treats for them and even sweeping up the cat litter on the floor! I will definitely be booking her again the next time I have a trip!!”
“Brianna took care of my cats while my fiancée and I were out of town. It’s a bit difficult to find sitters that can administer oral medicine to cats, and Brianna was able to meet the task, give love to my 2 cats and make sure their area was well kept. She responds quickly to texts as well. If you need a cat sitter, I would recommend her to any client!”
“Nicole did an incredible job! We were gone for two weeks in Italy and she gave us peace of mind that our two kitties were in great hands. She was attentive and communicative. We came home to two happy cats :) If you want to have someone of good character watch your precious little ones, Nicole should be your choice!”
“Evelyn is a god send! She was FABULOUS with our pets. We have a sassy cat and two buns who absolutely loved her! She was prompt on timing and followed all of the directions we had. She met with us before our vacation to meet our furry friends and pick up keys. She sent hilarious updates and pictures. We never had a worry with Evelyn watching our pets. 10 out 10 would book her again.”
“Wendy is wonderful! When I forgot to give my other pet sitter a key to the front door’s bottom lock, she was a huge help in making sure the issue got sorted. Even though I told her she could leave after feeding and scooping litter for my very shy cat, Wendy would still stay and listen to music for the full half-hour visit so Tawny wouldn’t feel as alone. So professional and so nice! Highly recommend her.”
“Sophia was very communicative, nice and my cat came out for her, which is a first while I’ve been away! If I ever need her help again, I won’t hesitate to rebook as she gave me a huge peace of mind.”
“Ellie is PHENOMENAL!!! She has the highest standard of care for our girls and has incredible communication. We continually come back to her and our minds are always at ease when we know she’s caring for our cats.”
“Sarah was such a wonderful sitter! We are still so thankful for the fact she was able to assist us at such short notice after our initial sitter cancelled day before we were supposed to leave. Very punctual, friendly, and accommodating for both of our cats. We will be looking to book with her again when needed! Thank you again. ❤️”
“Sarah was great! She sent me multiple pictures of my kitties at every visit. Great communicator. She kept the cat areas very tidy. My cats were played with at every visit. We will definitely ask her back when we need a cat sitter.”
“Charlotte did a phenomenal job with my kitty, Kira. She was well looked after while I was away for a few days. She had no problem fulfilling my requests for how to feed and care for her. Highly recommend”

About: Thanks for stopping by pet parents! My name is Allis and I have been an animal lover since I was a kid. I have been around dogs and cats my entire life. currently, my family has a Soft Coated wheaten terrier, he is a sweet guy and get along with all dogs. Over years I’ve helped take care of dogs like boarding at my house, feeding, playing, walking but overall treating them like a part of my family, pampering pets with love and care. My priority is to be with your pup and to make their stay comfortable. I own a house, it’s a safe, comfortable, secure and dog-proofed, I have a fenced yard where they will enjoy to play in, feeling free because your pet deserves the best! I can also take them for nice walks or to the near park to roam. I know how difficult and stressful it may be to be away from your fur babies, that’s what I like to send updates of how their doing along with pictures and videos to give pet parents a piece of mind. I look forward to providing loving care for your family!🐾💖 I am home for a majority of the day but some days I need to ran errands like for example: picking up groceries, doctor appointments which I’m sure your dog has experienced under your care but dogs are Never left alone for more than 3 hours. I have a flexible schedule that can accommodate them any day of the week even holidays and weekends. Our fully fenced in yard will keep your fur babies safe. I live in a safe neighborhood. They would be part of our family for their stay 🐶.
“My dog Toby had the best time in Thea’s care. He really enjoyed going there and was happy to meet and socialize with Osiris and Chester, his big brothers. We are definitely be booking with Thea again. Thank you:)”
“Danielle and her family were wonderful with Blackie. He's a lab mix that can be a little anxious when he is away from us, but they treated Blackie like their own. If the pup is happy, we are happy and we plan to use Danielle again!”
“We were so blessed that Bob was not only available on a Saturday at short notice, but willing to watch our three fur babies, one them elderly and in need of medication! We are from out of state, and had to bring the dogs with us. Saturday required us to be a part of an all-day 50th anniversary celebration, so the dogs needed to be attended to for 10 hours. Bob was incredibly gracious, caring, and attentive to details about our furbies; especially our sweet Maddie, who is blind and requires medication three times a day. What a gift to us to not have to worry about them! We received updates throughout the evening, and when we returned to pick them up, all was well. The pups were happy and had a good time. Bob, we will look for you again if we are ever in Chicago with our dogs. I cannot express how grateful we are to have found you!”
“Dave watched our 8 month old puppy and did an amazing job! Just from the meet and greet we had a good feeling about about leaving our pup with him. The whole process was just super smooth. His dog Roxy is awesome and was a great playmate and companion for our pup. She is older and handled our puppy's energy well! Dave text us photos with an update. He was organized with a clean/pet safe house and seemed to really bring Milo into his home and take great care of him. We will definitely use Dave in the future!”
“Naomi & Johann J. will always be our 1st choice to watch Javy whenever we need to leave him with anyone. They sent many photos and reassuring messages about Javy’s eating all of his food…he wouldn’t have eaten anything, had he been stressed about being there. Wonderful pup watchers!”
“Kazuhiro and Akemi were kind and loving to my dog. They sent pictures throughout the day. I appreciate their flexibility on the drop off time. I would use them again.”

About: I am a dog owner for the past 8 years and own two Setter pups. Friends have entrusted me with their dogs for petsitting and dog walking - in some occasions I would have as many as 4 dogs with me, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! As a dog parent I know how important is to have someone you trust with your baby, I will treat your dog as my own, making sure your dog is safe and happy! My work schedule varies week by week between office and home, which allows me some flexibility. When in the area, I am flexible to go on a walk with your pup to get some fresh air or do a drop in visit to spend some time with them. When I drop in to check on your pup or take on a walk, I will always follow your instructions closely and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. During walks, I will keep a close eye on them, always be on leash, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise based on their energy level. Afterward, provide a quick pupdate so you know your pup is happy and well taken care of.
“Thank you so much Katherine!! Your patience and calmness really helped Mazel feel comfortable and enjoy her walk! We cant wait to see you again. Appreciate you!”

I have a 5 bedroom house, including a full finished basement, and a gated yard so there's plenty of room for the dogs to hang out

Cooper loves Hannah and coming home to a tired pup feast great! She gave him a really good walk and we are so appreciative! Easy to communicate with and she does a great job keeping you in the loop with updates. Highly recommend her and we will for sure be requesting her again”
About: I grew up around many dogs. My parents LOVE English Bulldogs and we always had 2-3 in our home whether we were fostering or they were ours. A few years ago we found a cat in the woods and decided to add to the family! After moving out, I have decided to rescue two cats of my own and they have been such a blessing! I also watch my friends dogs and cats from time to time. I am currently studying to be a personal trainer and work at a gym opening a women’s fitness program. My schedule is pretty open currently as I am studying for my personal trainers certificate! I am also a bodybuilder so my life really revolves around the gym! My schedule is currently very flexible. I currently have two cats, and I play with them often. They have many toys and cat trees. I would consider myself very playful. I also love to walk dogs! My bulldogs at home love walks 1-2 times a day which I have been able to help out with when there. I hope to offer similar services!

She gave my people-timid boy the space he needed to feel comfortable and trusting while engaging yet supporting the appropriate boundaries I need to practice with my overly exuberant girl. I'm looking forward to Sarah spending more time at my house caring for my sweet best pals.”
