“Susan was awesome! My husband is extremely particular about the dog. I’m actually shocked he agreed to leave him with a stranger. It could not have gone any better! Susan took Jack for lots of walks and she and her husband even took him on the boat! We got lots of pictures and updates on how he was doing. We definitely hope she’s available to watch Jack next time we travel!”
“Erin took such great care of our Sadie! I could tell from all the pictures that Sadie felt comfortable and happy. Knowing Sadie was well cared for, made our time away more enjoyable.”
“This was the longest I've left my dogs and had no worries. Kimberly treated my dogs like they were her own with lots of love and attention, had great communication, and sent lots of pictures and updates. There's nothing better than picking up well cared for and happy dogs! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“Michele (and her family) took care of our dog really well. She gave us updates of how Rocky is doing and was very accommodating when I had to change the drop off and pick up times last minute. We highly recommend Michele.”
“We booked a last minute stay for our puppy with Jessica and she was so accommodating. I was happy to receive a video and update part way through our trip. She did a great job and our dog was happy and wagging and in great shape when we got back. We would recommend her and will book again when we need too. Thanks Jessica!”
“Leslie was amazing!!! It was obvious right away that my dogs loved her. She was so good with Molly and Bear, whether it was playtime or snuggle time. And she was absolutely wonderful about keeping us updated regularly! It’s hard to leave my pups, but her updates and pictures made it a lot easier. Leslie really cares for your pups. She is truly wonderful.”
“We have left our dog with Beatrice on 2 different vacations so far and we couldn’t be happier. She treats our Ivy so well and gives us peace of mind while we are away.”
“Brian and his family were great. They treated our fur ball with love and attention. Brian sent pictures and videos every day. It was great to see the dog enjoying his stay with Brian.”
“Renae was great with Billy! We met up before the stay to introduce the dogs and everyone was very friendly. She was also very flexible, offering to extend the stay when I was concerned my flights were going to be impacted by weather.”
“Palvi is very nice and did a great job in taking care of Snoopy over 5 days while we were on vacation. Snoopy is shy, anxious by nature & picky eater. Snoopy got comfortable with her family in short time & had good fun time playing hide & seek with her kids & her pet Corgi. We are so thankful that we found Palvi & would definitely recommend her.”
“Thanks Liz for watching Beau and for being flexible with the wintry weather. We are glad that we found you! It was hard to leave our pet at Christmas time, but we felt comfortable with him in your care.”
“The visit seems to go great. From the pictures I received it look like my dog Sandy had a good time. I will be using Jennifer again. Her and her husband were very nice. I am sure Sandy loved the back yard they have because she does not get to play and run around our at home.”
“Chad and his wife were wonderful! This was our first time having them watch our high energy dog, and we will definitely be booking again! They took such great care of Finly - daily walks and even treat/ training time! We loved the regular updates, including photos and video throughout his stay. Thanks again, both! Finly so appreciated all of your care and play time!!”
“Sylvie was wonderful with our dog Beau! He’s a 10 lb Yorkie with a 100 lb additude and a Very picky eater. She sent daily pictures/videos so we could see he was in very good hands ?? Thank you Sylvie ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Balbina took my gentle giant over an extended period of time and took him in as if he was her own. Sent daily updates of all activities and even did a stellar job with his medication. 10/10 I would rebook. And I’m sure my dog got all of the attention he could have ever wanted. Thank you!”
“Jackie and her family took such wonderful care of our two pups, who are always so anxious to be away from home. They came back to us happy, healthy, and maybe just a little disappointed that they had to leave their new friends. Highly recommend Jackie!”
“Marko and his family were excellent host to Nala. He provided daily updates with photos and videos and really made her feel like a part of the family. He was quick to respond to the request to dog sit and I will definitely leave Nala with him in the future. Thank you Marko for welcoming Nala into your home.”

I follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. I can also send updates and photos so you know they’re doing great while you’re away.
“Amber is an amazing pet sitter. Not that you should do this but we booked her last minute and she was very accommodating and flexible. She worked with my other pet sitter and helped with a big task- catching and caring for our chickens bumblefoot. We even had an unfortunate event happen while we were gone and Amber cared for it. We could not be more grateful and couldn’t recommend Amber enough!!!”

As an adult, I’ve had more hands-on experience caring for cats, which has deepened my appreciation for their unique balance of friendliness and independence.

“Yesenia was so great. I was in from out of town and I had a gap between when we needed to be out of the Airbnb and when the class I came for ended. I needed some place to take my dog for a few hours. She was conveniently near where I needed to be. She attentively asked about my dog’s needs (she’s dog-reactive and has anxiety) and provided a safe space for her to be. My dog felt so relaxed that she fell asleep while cuddling with her. Would highly recommend Yesenia’s services!”

About: Hi there, my name is Sami! I've lived with dogs my whole life, big and small - some of which include a Golden Retriever, a Yorkie, and a Maltese. My sister occasionally comes over with her Goldendoodle, and I love spending time with my aunt's Bernese Mountain Dogs when I can visit them. I plan to adopt my own dog later in the future, and perhaps enroll them as a therapy dog to bring comfort to others. I've watched both my sister's and parents' dogs while they are away for the day, and I have some experience in caring for them when they were puppies. I used to walk my parents' dogs in the past, as well. I enjoy interacting with dogs as a whole, and I put their safety and comfort first. I'm an introvert who lives a quiet lifestyle, but I also love to have fun, so if your furry friend needs someone to hang out with while you're away, I'll be there for them! NOTE: Though I adore cats, I am unfortunately allergic and therefore cannot interact with them directly if you have any in your home. I can still feed or play with them via a cat teaser or laser pointer, but I cannot pet them or pick them up. :( Currently, I am working full-time at an elementary school in Minooka. As I share similar hours with our students, my availability Monday through Friday will only be after 3:30pm. On Saturdays and Sundays, I am available during afternoons and evenings, though prior arrangements in advance can be made for a morning walk or drop-in visit! I will update my schedule as soon as anything changes. If you have any questions regarding my schedule for a particular day or week, please don’t hesitate to message me! IMPORTANT: As per Rover’s Terms of Service, please note that I cannot share private contact details or accept methods of payment outside of Rover. This is for the safety and security of all parties involved. When out on a walk, I will make sure your friend is kept safe and away from hazards or things they may be uncomfortable with. When dropping in for a visit, I will make sure their needs are met and everything is secured for their safety. They would never be left unsupervised, and they'll get lots of love and playtime! I will gladly send photos and text updates upon request. Please do let me know your communication frequency preferences, so I don't accidentally disturb you with messages!

About: I have always put animals first in all aspects of my life. I’ve had the joy of raising dogs from puppies and cats from kittens. I treat all animals as if they are my own and would love for the opportunity to watch your fur babies. I also love volunteering at the local humane society and helping all kinds of animals as well as fostering animals too! I’m currently in school and have extra time to care for your treasured pets! I will always treat your pets like my own! I will always be available to tend to your pet and give them the love they deserve. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly lab mix to keep your fur happy baby company! I also have a living area separated from my pets if need be and have the ability to crate if that is what your pet needs.
About: I’m a caring and dependable pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, crate routines, and keeping pets company. I’m especially patient with puppies and energetic pets, and I pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m happy to provide regular updates and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently in school, so I have flexibility in my schedule for pet care, especially during the daytime, evenings, and weekends depending on my class schedule. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and provide consistent, reliable care rather than rushing through a visit. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, stay aware of my surroundings during walks, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I’ll maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and communicate with you if anything seems unusual. I treat every home and pet with the same respect I would want for my own.
About: I’ve taken care of our own, family and friends dogs since I was a kid. I previously worked with a dog walking company in college. I currently have my own, a 3-year-old Cavapoo named Berlioz who I adore. I look forward to hopefully meeting your furry friend! My schedule is pretty flexible right now. I am working part-time, so I can be available whenever needed. I prefer weekdays, but am willing to do weekends. Timing is flexible as well :) I have a fenced-in yard, and two dogs at the house. They are both under 20 pounds, but friendly. I can also keep dogs separated if needed.
“Wonderful as always! This is the second time they have taken care of my boy and he couldn’t have been in better hands. They go out of their way to put you at ease and give your pup a lot of love.”
About: After traveling thousands of miles and leaving my home country, I also had to leave my little pet in the care of the most important person in my life, my mom. My dog has always been my greatest emotional support, and being apart from him inspired me to stay connected to the love, energy, and purity that pets bring into our lives. I want to care for your pets as if they were my own, giving them all the affection, attention, and respect they deserve. I am currently dedicating myself full-time to pet care. This allows me to be 100% available to take care of your pets throughout the week. For now, I’m available 24/7 and fully committed to giving them the attention and care they need. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while in your home. I ensure they’re in a familiar environment, maintaining their routine to reduce any stress. During walks, I always use secure leashes, stay alert to surroundings, and avoid potential hazards. I respect your home, following any specific guidelines you provide, and ensure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve. My goal is to create a trustworthy and safe experience for both you and your furry friend!
“Erin was wonderful with my dog Bailey and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog can be anxious/reactive at times, and Erin was calm, patient, and very experienced with her. I really appreciated the updates and photos after visits. I will absolutely book with her again!”

“Susan was awesome! My husband is extremely particular about the dog. I’m actually shocked he agreed to leave him with a stranger. It could not have gone any better! Susan took Jack for lots of walks and she and her husband even took him on the boat! We got lots of pictures and updates on how he was doing. We definitely hope she’s available to watch Jack next time we travel!”
“Erin took such great care of our Sadie! I could tell from all the pictures that Sadie felt comfortable and happy. Knowing Sadie was well cared for, made our time away more enjoyable.”
“This was the longest I've left my dogs and had no worries. Kimberly treated my dogs like they were her own with lots of love and attention, had great communication, and sent lots of pictures and updates. There's nothing better than picking up well cared for and happy dogs! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“We booked a last minute stay for our puppy with Jessica and she was so accommodating. I was happy to receive a video and update part way through our trip. She did a great job and our dog was happy and wagging and in great shape when we got back. We would recommend her and will book again when we need too. Thanks Jessica!”
“Leslie was amazing!!! It was obvious right away that my dogs loved her. She was so good with Molly and Bear, whether it was playtime or snuggle time. And she was absolutely wonderful about keeping us updated regularly! It’s hard to leave my pups, but her updates and pictures made it a lot easier. Leslie really cares for your pups. She is truly wonderful.”
“Brian and his family were great. They treated our fur ball with love and attention. Brian sent pictures and videos every day. It was great to see the dog enjoying his stay with Brian.”
“Renae was great with Billy! We met up before the stay to introduce the dogs and everyone was very friendly. She was also very flexible, offering to extend the stay when I was concerned my flights were going to be impacted by weather.”
“The visit seems to go great. From the pictures I received it look like my dog Sandy had a good time. I will be using Jennifer again. Her and her husband were very nice. I am sure Sandy loved the back yard they have because she does not get to play and run around our at home.”
“Balbina took my gentle giant over an extended period of time and took him in as if he was her own. Sent daily updates of all activities and even did a stellar job with his medication. 10/10 I would rebook. And I’m sure my dog got all of the attention he could have ever wanted. Thank you!”
“Jackie and her family took such wonderful care of our two pups, who are always so anxious to be away from home. They came back to us happy, healthy, and maybe just a little disappointed that they had to leave their new friends. Highly recommend Jackie!”
“Marko and his family were excellent host to Nala. He provided daily updates with photos and videos and really made her feel like a part of the family. He was quick to respond to the request to dog sit and I will definitely leave Nala with him in the future. Thank you Marko for welcoming Nala into your home.”
“Felicia took great care of our Golden Retriever! Her dogs were wonderful company for sweet canine. She also sent us video updates which were very appreciated. Will be returning to Felicia in the future!”
“Daniele is awesome. She is super reliable. I like how she sends pictures and text messages of our dogs playing or getting a belly rub enabled us to relax and enjoy our trip. We could see they were in good hands. She is a caring and competent professional. We highly recommend her.”
“Mera does a wonderful job with our dog, she takes great care of him and we are always happy to leave him with her. She even went the extra mile this time since he’s getting older and is not doing well and it was very much appreciated by us.”
“We boarded our dog a couple of times and always had a great experience with La Toya. Always quickly responds to requests, sends pictures everyday and updates. I highly recommend!”
