“This was our.. I lost count of how many times we had our dogs stay with Thao, and I must say she is awesome every single time. She always updates, always sends pictures, and makes sure the dogs are entertaining and having fun. On the way back home, they both passed out in my car.”
“We love Jose! He is always accommodating and super patient with our senior dog. I love getting photos and updates on a regular basis when we’re away, and even though Hank is always excited to see us when we’re back, I can tell that he’s had a good time.”
“I just picked up my dog from a 12-day stay with Bob. This was our second time using him & both times everything seemed to go really well. Bingo had a great time playing with other dogs; I received numerous videos so I could see how much fun he was having, how many chin rubs he got, & even where he liked to snooze. Bob seems to have a way with dogs.”
“My dog felt like he was at home with Lauren! Awesome experience throughout. I was given updates and pictures. Felt at ease during my vacation knowing my dog was well taken care of. Would definitely book again with Lauren!”
“Rico is an excellent dog sitter for our dog Snow. He is reliable, he sent us daily photos of Snow. We feel so comfortable leaving our dog in their care. Our dog feels at home with them. They have a well-maintained backyard that Snow can play and run around. Rico loves hanging out with our pet and takes extra time to show some love and cuddles. We highly recommend him.”
“Mark and Lori did a great job hosting Charlie for his first visit in their home! It was clear that they "got him" right away and enjoyed his personality. We will definitely want to board with them again.”
“5 stars as always! As soon as we got off the car our dogs RUSHED inside of their apartment without even saying goodbye to us 😂 Can’t give a better review than that!”
“My dog is so happy to be with Ewa and all the doggy pals, he meets there. We are repeat customers I highly recommend Ew and her husbands dog sitting service. They are really caring people and seem to love my dog.”
“Jamie took excellent care of our Hank. We got loads of updates and photos. Our pups got along great and we're a match for energy and play. We were able to do a meet and greet which went fantastic! Would recommend to anyone!”
“Yuliya is AMAZING! My dogs loved her so much they seconds guessed coming home with me! She is my go to dog sitter and I’m very lucky to have found her on Rover. Thank you for taking such good care of Marcus and Faustina. They’ll be back to stay with you soon!”
“Charlie loves Joe and Camille's yard, their house, the treats he gets, and them. He is 17 with some senior health issues, and I never when he's with them.”
“Great experience leaving our girl with Noor and her family overnight after our pet care fell through somewhat last minute. I got frequent updates and photos, and I felt Theia was well cared for. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thanks!”
“Naomi was great!! She was very prepared and ready to learn about and to care for our dogs just the way they needed. Our dogs had the best time taking long walks, lounging, and looking out the big window. She took the time to introduce our dogs and Milo and they became great friends. The house was quiet, very clean, and perfect for our dogs. We loved seeing the daily photos while we were traveling. Definitely would recommend!”
“Rima was wonderful! Thank you so much for watching my babies on short notice. They are small dogs and usually stay at home - I was so happy when I picked them up and they looked right at home with Rima.”
“Loren was great with my pup. She was kind, sent me updates daily and had the supplies at her house to make him feel at home. He came home happy and calm. Will use Loren again anytime.”
“**Review for Eileen** I want to take a moment to thank Eileen for her patience and dedication while caring for Dean. I know it was a challenging experience for her, as Dean got overly excited with new dogs and tried to assert dominance. Eileen was very communicative throughout, and I appreciated her willingness to push through those tough moments. The pictures were the best! When we picked Dean up, she was waiting outside with his things and looked understandably overwhelmed. I reassured her that we had never had any complaints about Dean, and we truly appreciate her effort in caring for him. Thank you, Eileen, for your love for dogs and for sticking with Dean despite the challenges. We value your commitment and hope to work with you again in the future! From Dean and Radillo family, thank you!”
“This was my first time hiring a pet sitter and Gabrielle knocked it out of the park! She was very responsive and made sure she covered every aspect of my dog's care. I was nervous since my dog is older and reactive to other dogs but Gabrielle has the experience to deal with all of those potential issues and more. She also sent me pictures of my dog throughout her stay which was really sweet to see and helped calm my nerves :) Highly, highly recommend!”
“Sophie was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Charlie. Charlie took to her right away. She knew a true dog lover! I had daily updates and photos of activities. I highly recommend Sophie to look after your pet. Sophie’s treats your pet like her own and does so with love.”

“Lisa was everything we could have hoped for taking care of our little guy. The communication was great and she really did care for him while accommodating our slightly obsessive points. I feel better about leaving town now that we have found Lisa. Six stars!”
“Katie took wonderful care of my little miss Raya while I was away and sent so many adorable photos and detailed updates! Better than I could possibly have expected - I would highly recommend Katie for anyone needing a cat sitter!!”
“I knew Abagail was the right choice for a cat sitter from the moment she conducted the meet and greet. You can tell she is clearly someone who likes cats and animals in general. She sent great daily reports and wonderful pictures so I knew Miss Delilah was in good hands. I highly recommend her services!!”
“This is the 3rd time I have had Denis and Nikki watch our pets and if they are available, we would never consider anybody else. They take great care in what they do and it shows. They not only take excellent care of our animals but they make sure the house is ok also, taking out and back garbage, bringing in packages on the doorstep and mail, etc. They are excellent and our family would highly recommend. Andrew S.”
“Karina did a great job watching our 14 year old pet cat Frankie. We were gone for two weeks and had never been separated from him for that length of time. With much trepidation about leaving him, Karina reassured with with daily updates and photos. This was great help and allowed us to enjoy our trip with no worry or concern about Frankie. We will definitely use her service in the future and I highly recommend her for any pet sitting job. John I”
“Karina is an amazing person. She made a point of visiting my cat beforehand, who is blind, to understand his needs. On our first meeting, my cat felt comfortable and rested his head on her, asking for affection… people's energy doesn't lie. Karina followed all the instructions and sent me photos and videos every day. If you are looking for someone trustworthy and loving, Karina needs to be your choice. I will definitely hire her again!”
“Andrew was fantastic with our cats, and knowing they were in such good hands really allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation. We have a 1 year old and a 20+ year old, and he did a great job giving each what they needed, whether more play or more snuggle time. He sent us daily photos that showed how relaxed and at ease they were with him, and both seemed happy and confident when we arrived home. We plan to use Andrew again for all upcoming trips!”
“Arianna did great with Porkchop! She was punctual to his feeding times and he looked happy and healthy when we returned. We will keep her in mind for future bookings!”
“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.”
About: I have a 20 pound black cat and I'm literally in love ( the vet calls him Lebron James ) . I have been a cat lover since the day I was born. I have also watched my female cat Stacey give birth to kittens and can take full care of cats of all ages. Cats are cute adorable and the best little creatures ever.
“Jenny is the best. She sends adorable photos and tells me everything (good and bad) I need to know about my cat. She really takes a lot of the pressure of leaving off my shoulders and I cannot thank her enough!”
“Jason was absolutely fantastic! His check-in updates were detailed and reassuring, with photos and notes that showed the care he put in. He won over our usually shy cat, Puddles, which says a lot about his patience and kindness. Both Storm and Puddles were clearly well cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. Highly recommend!”

“This house is the definition of love. My dog loves to be around this family and is such a humble experience to know that Uma is so happy to go and spend time with them. Space is super clean, yard is so big and they simply love animals. I came across angels and I’m very very grateful for them!”

“Naomi & Johann took wonderful care of Javy. I made a last minute, same day request and they came thru. I knew immediately upon dropping Javy off that he would be in good hands. They introduced Javy to their dog, Milo, expertly and they were both affectionate with Javy right away. She sent photos and a video and I could tell Javy was very comfortable & happy. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”

“Bob, so thankful for your attentiveness, kindness, and care to our puppies. I appreciate your flexibility and always going the extra mile. So glad you were there for us on our expected and unexpected trips to Illinois!”
“David was great with our pup Chase. He's usually very shy and slow to warm up to people. However he really took to David and Pinto super quickly. David shared pictures and videos of them playing and sleeping throughout the day. I would definitely recommend him for any dogsitting needs.”
“Claire is a standout. She communicates timely and effectively, is polite and professional, organized and most importantly she is incredible with dogs. Claire documented walks including duration, route and distance, and meals including time, amount of food eaten by each dog. Her feedback on my dogs' personality traits was spot on as well, demonstrating her care and attention. I would wholeheartedly recommend Claire to anyone in need of a trustworthy sitter. THANK YOU, CLAIRE!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and size's. Friends, neighbors, and family often rely on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with senior dogs, energetic puppies, and pets with special routines. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight care, I always treat every pet like my own. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide morning, midday, and evening visits during the week. Weekends are open for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I’m responsible, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands. I live in a pet-friendly apartment that’s clean, safe, and comfortable for your furry friend. I take frequent walks and make sure pets get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I’m very mindful of leash safety, secure entrances, and keeping pets calm in new environments. Whether your dog loves outdoor strolls or prefers cozy naps, I make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for.
“Jean was great with Pocky! I was happy to receive all the photo and video updates. Jean was attentive and Pocky was comfortable with her dogs. She had a great time relaxing & enjoyed getting all the snuggles.”
“Isabel was wonderful with Piper! She was incredibly responsive and communicative, sent us lots of photos throughout the weekend, and was so flexible and easy to work with. Most importantly, we could tell Piper was treated with so much love and care. Isabel’s Bernese Mountain Dog was super friendly, and the two dogs got along great! We felt completely comfortable having Piper in her care and would absolutely love to use Isabel’s dog-sitting services again. Highly recommend!”
“Cynthia did a great job caring for our dog. She was flexible and accommodating and went above and beyond. We were traveling thru town for 3 days and needed a dog sitter. We highly recommend her.”

“Cathy is incredible! Right from the start, she offered to come meet my dog ahead of time and as soon as she walked in I knew she would be a great fit. She took the time to play with him, pet him, and let him get to know her. As a result, when she arrived to pick him up for his walk, he was happy to see her! This extra care to getting to know my dog (and letting him get to know her!) is so appreciated - especially since I have had other walkers give up on him. I would recommend Cathy to anyone who is looking for a caring and compassionate sitter or walker.”
“We recently had the pleasure of working with Amy and Lamar to care for our dog, Ralph, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. They consistently went above and beyond—giving him extra-long walks and even taking care of his feeding schedule twice a day, which gave us so much peace of mind. What truly stood out was Lamar’s work on training during his time with Ralph. His calm, confident approach made an immediate impact, and we are amazed at how responsive Ralph is to his guidance. It’s clear that both Amy and Lamar have a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of how to connect with them. We are incredibly grateful for their reliability, professionalism, and the affection they showed Ralph. We highly recommend Amy and Lamar to anyone looking for dedicated and trustworthy dog walkers, and we absolutely plan to use their services again in the future!”
About: I live in Edison Park, but work in McCook/Chicago during the day/week or sometimes from home. I manage my time really well, so I can make anything early in the morning,/on my lunch break work- plus weekends or after work. I have always had dogs my entire life. I grew up with a chocolate lab mix, then when she passed away my family got a three legged black lab and a chesapeake bay retriever. Then, when I was in college, a chocolate lab climbed into my car and after months of trying to find his owners, I decided to keep him. Those puppies have since passed, but our family has 2 giant black labs currently. I’ve also had 4 Guinea Pigs who I loved dearly. I currently work from home part of the time and love four legged angels (sometimes 3, I had a 3 legged dog growing up). I am available in the early mornings, evenings and on the weekends consistently, but can work out weekday daytime availability with advanced notice. I make sure the animals all have the appropriate food/water setups at all times (per owners instructions depending on pet’s specific needs), as well as making sure the temperature is comfortable for the pet. I prioritize exercise and bathroom breaks for each pet. There is never a lack of social interaction when I am around. Pretty much, I view pets as family and think they deserve the best. If they have specific requirements, I will always follow whatever rules the owner requests and talk through any concerns before booking.
“Nataliia is wonderful! Extremely responsive and provided detailed reports and photos of her walks with Bessie. Our dog loves her and we will be reaching out to her in the future! Thanks so much Nataliia!!”
About: I love dogs. I am the go to person to take care of my friends and family's dogs when they are out of town.

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

“Jason was awesome with our dog! He is super responsive, easy-going, and you could tell he cares about making sure he follows all the owners requests. He came out of his way to meet us beforehand which helped me feel more comfortable with a new dog walker, especially since beagles have some quirks ;) Douglas had a great time with Jason and we will be sure to book with him again in the future!”
“Andrea was absolutely wonderful with Benji! She took such great care of him and kept me updated with photos while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind.

I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and trustworthy Rover sitter!”
