“My first sit with Beryl and my pup and I couldn’t be happier! She was flexible, kind and energetic, and sent pictures regularly. Communication was great and Dory came home happy. 😊”
“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!”
“Rob was so great with our dog Rory! He was very attentive and sent along tons of great pictures and updates. She definitely had a great time at his house, playing in the yard, and snuggling on the couch. Thanks Rob!!”
“Sarah was great. She took very good care of my dog and cat and kept me updated with photos and recaps of their activities. She obviously loves animals and I felt my boys were very safe in her care--I recommend her highly.”
“I recently used Andria's service and left my Nina in her care for 10 days. I am very pleased with the overall experience. Andria is very quick in communicating before and during the stay. She sent regular updates and pics during the stay. My pet came home very Happy. Andria and her family took great care of my pet. She is going to be my go-to sitter for all future needs. I highly recommend Andria”
“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.”
“Kimberly took good care of Lumi. Thank you for doing that! She is very energetic when coming back. The only suggestion is if she could send us pictures of our cat once a day which would be perfect.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we could not have been happier with Jan. She genuinely cared for Niko for 8 nights. I know she made him feel loved and well cared. Our Niko doesn't warm up to everyone easily he’s a 14 year old Shiba Inu he doesn’t like to be alone, but he warmed up to Jan as days went by. Jan was absolutely amazing she took such great care of Niko. I had peace of mind receiving regular updates and photos while we were away. Our Niko came home happy, clearly I am sure he was well cared. We truly appreciate the kindness, professionalism, PATIENCE and attention Jan gave my Niko he’s my first furry child in my family. I know she had a hard time with him because he was anxious and howling a lot, but I greatly appreciate her patience!!! We'll definitely return to Jan for her services. THANK YOU Jan! 🙏☺️”
“Cindy was so loving and gentle with Diamond. Diamond came home so peaceful. I will definitely book again with her. Thank you for treating our fur baby as your own. And thank you for your flexibility with our trip.”
“Maria was extraordinarily wonderful :) she did a great job of taking care of my Caelum Armani Labubu :) she would send me daily videos and photo updates of Caelum and his daily activities. It was my first time of leaving Caelum for 3 weeks so I was really anxious, I had a long long list of instructions specially on how to make Caelum’s food and Maria was able to deliver to the point that my Caelum loves to eat now lol :3 Maria was also very understanding when I asked her to extend another day because my flight back to the US got delayed and I was having a very bad migraine. Thank you so much Maria and Gisselle for taking good care of Caelum :)”
“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!”
“Kent was available at a weeks notice and fast to respond. Immediate rapport with our dog, very attentive and asked questions to make sure he knew exactly what to do in terms of food, medication, etc. Very positive experience, definitely recommended.”
“I felt comfortable leaving Laila with Connie from the meet and greet. Laila does not have the opportunity to really socialize with other dogs. I was glad that she had the exposure to Connie's pups. I would love to use her again if the need arises.”
“Brian was so great watching our pup Mowgli! We felt comfortable knowing Mowgli was in good hands, Brian provided regular updates and great communication. As this was our first time leaving Mowgli with a sitter we were so glad to find Brian! 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!”
“Cheryl is an excellent sitter. Our dog Rambo is always excited to go and spend time with her. It is clear that she loves animals and we are grateful to have found her. Cheryl is our preferred choice for our pet sitting and boarding needs.”
About: I work from home and my job requires very little actual attention (fortunately). I have a lot of time to dedicate to a pet and the space for it too! I work from home full time, but my job requires very little actual attention so most of my time clocked in allows me to do other things. I am always home unless I have errands, the gym, or appointments to get to. Other than that, I frequently visit my local parks for walks during my break and after or before work! I have big backyard where pets can play and run around! My neighborhood is very walkable and I like to visit my local parks a lot too!
“Dasha loved her stay with Janette and Charles! They kept us updated with pictures and videos and our puppy couldn’t get enough of the other dogs and fenced in yard.”

“I had a great experience with my dog sitter! She did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I would absolutely book with her again! 🐶❤️”
“Kiersten kept our kitties super happy while we were gone. She was super flexible and our cats warmed up to her very quickly. We really appreciated the consistent pictures. Overall very happy and would book with Kiersten again!”
About: I love dogs and came across this site and thought how it would be nice to have guests in my home. I have a decent sized back yard and there is a walking trail I could walk a pup or two along. I would do my best to keep your dog comfortable in my home. I have four kids in my home that have so much love for animals. Hope to hear from you soon! There are pets in the home but I do not keep in the same spaces at any time regardless if friendly or not. It’s more for the comfort of a new space for your pet and for yours as an owner. I do work a lot. However Thursday thru Sunday’s I am home full time during the day. Monday thru weds I work regular business hours and also have a crew at home willing to live up and care for our guest. We would regulate one room to your pet but it’s with us. Our family room where your pet will never be alone. Always someone watching tv, relaxing, or even sleeping in.
“Brian was a great help while I was getting cancer surgery. Brian gave me peace of mind while I was away that my cats were well looked out for and in good hands. Thanks again Brian!”
About: I'm a big cat lover and have been caring for cats since I was a kid. I'm very patient and will make sure every kitty feels safe with me. I'm responsible, flexible, and will care for ur kitties with load of love! i'm bilingual and speak spanish if needed!
“Odalys went above and beyond with my five cats while I was on vacation. She updated me at every visit as to how they were all doing. My cats enjoyed her company. She followed all of my instructions. I would definitely have her take care of my cats again when I go on my next vacation...without hesitation!”
About: I’ve had cats pretty much my whole life! I grew up with them and have continued to have cats as an adult, so they’ve always been a big part of my life. I truly love their different personalities and how every cat has their own little way of showing affection. I’m comfortable caring for playful cats, shy cats, independent cats, and of course the ones who want to be your best friend and sit in your lap all day! I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, litter boxes, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I treat every animal I care for like they’re my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away.
“Chris made me feel at ease about leaving my cat with a sitter, which was something I really worried about. She sent great updates and pictures and clearly had a great time hanging out and playing with my little cuddle monster.”
About: I truly love animals and treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I am reliable, calm, and caring, and I will treat your pet as if they were my own.
About: I grew up with a cat, so caring for cats has been a part of my life since childhood. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box care, playtime, and giving cats the attention they need while also respecting their personal space. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, and I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates🐈
“Collette is the most kind, caring, attentive, responsible sitter! Both of our cats loved her. She is incredibly patient and our shy & overly cautious kitty even loved her. :) We will be booking her again!”
“Cheryl was great with our dog Luna. She came to meet with her a week before and answered our questions. On the day of the visit Cheryl was great and provided us an update and pictures and Luna clearly had a great time.”
About: I have a beautiful anxious 6 year old black mouth cur rescue that has dealt with lots of reactivity and health issues; I’ve worked with professional trainers and behavioral vets to manage - I have built skills and confidence to support her and all dogs I walk in managing behavioral issues on walks and feel comfortable giving dogs medication as needed. I always ensure our walks are enriching experience with plenty of sniff time. I’ve walked dogs on Rover over the past two years and in the past volunteered at my local animal shelter walking and playing with the resident cats and dogs. In addition to my anxious pup Nova, I also share two other dogs with my partner a pitbull mix, and a little Shiba Inu so, I feel more than comfortable handling dogs of any size, energy level, and temperament. I’m ready to give your fur baby love, patience, and care as if they were my own. I work from home so can accommodate breaks throughout the day for walks and lots and of cuddles. Early mornings and evenings are very flexible. I don’t work Friday-Sunday and I am typically free so I have flexible availability to provide pet care as needed. I have experience caring for an anxious and reactive dog and have previously worked with behavioral dog trainers to help build skills to support my own pup. I feel comfortable and confident in managing the environment to reduce anxiety and reactivity if necessary while on walks with your dog. I don’t do on-leash dog greetings with dogs on walks and don’t do dog parks unless they are completely empty. I ensure the weather is safe for the walk and ensure my dog has proper attire as needed, rain coat, dog booties, sweater, to-go water bottle, etc.
About: Being a bunny owner, I take a very patient approach towards each animal I am caring for. I prefer to know their habits and quirks before I begin our journey of knowing each other. I pay very close attention to each animals body language and move forwards based on that. Growing up I was extremely obsessed with my families dogs and cats. My first pet was a grey cockatiel bird that I rescued, shortly after I got my first yellow lab. Ever since, I have been very involved in taking care of many of my family or friends pets while they are away. I have taken care of extremely small puppies, fish, birds, bunnies, and cats, to nervous, and anxious big labs ! I heavily enjoy spending time next to a furry creature and I even have a bunny of my own named Diva. She has been a very long lesson in attention to attitude when it comes to handling an animal. I am more than available during the day or night to take care of any animal, I do not have a current job so I am free during awkward hours. I make sure to follow the directions my clients have left for me, I often ask more information on the personality of the animal so I understand our boundaries !
About: I had my first cat as a kid and had one when I was 20 years old as well! My sister who is my upstairs neighbor has a cat and me and him are besties I love playing with him with his cat toys and I even pet sit him sometimes for her! I know how to clean out litter boxes and I’m even good with giving cat medication if needed!
“Paola took such wonderful care of our babies while we were away for the weekend! She went above and beyond! We truly appreciated her taking the time to leave such detailed notes and sharing multiple pictures of our babies eating and playing throughout the time that we were gone. We would absolutely recommend her, especially to anyone who is nervous about hiring a cat sitter for the first time. We really didn’t know what to expect, but Paola put us at ease from the moment she arrived and treated our babies as if they were her own. We can’t thank you enough, Paola!!”

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.

About: We’re a dog-loving couple who genuinely enjoy having dogs around, and we’d love to welcome your pup into our home! We have a friendly, easygoing Golden Retriever/ Australian Shepherd of our own who loves having company, so boarding with us is a win-win: your dog gets a loving home and a built-in furry friend, while our dog gets a buddy to hang out with. 🐾 We both work from home, so your pup will have plenty of company throughout the day rather than being left home alone for long periods. Our home also has a doggie door leading to a fully fenced yard, giving dogs the freedom to go outside and come back in as they please while we’re home to keep an eye on things. Our own dog is incredibly easygoing and low-maintenance, and over the years we realized how expensive boarding can be - even for dogs who are happy, friendly, and super easy to care for. That’s what inspired us to become Rover sitters! We want to offer an option for owners of dogs who don’t need a ton of special attention but still deserve to be loved and cared for while their humans are away. If you have an easygoing dog, we think it’s fair that you don’t have a pay a premium to have someone watch them! We’re especially happy to care for friendly, relaxed, and low-maintenance dogs who enjoy hanging out with another dog. Our goal isn’t to run a high-volume boarding business. We simply love dogs and enjoy having them in our home. We’ll send lots of updates and photos throughout the care, and we’ll be more selective with scheduling your dog because we want to make sure they’re a good fit with us and don’t plan on watching multiple dogs at a time. If your dog is the type who is happiest playing and lounging around, making a new friend, getting some attention, and feeling like part of the family, they’ll fit right in with us! We’d love to meet you and your pup! ❤️ Ryker works from home full-time, and Esther works from home two days a week, so there is always someone home with the dogs. Our schedules allow us to provide regular supervision, playtime, and outdoor breaks throughout the day ❤️ We only accept boarding dates when we know we’ll be available to care for your pup. If something unexpected comes up that requires us to be away for an extended period, we’ll communicate clearly with you ahead of time. 🐾 Your dog will have plenty of room to relax and explore in our fully fenced yard, giving them the freedom to enjoy some outdoor time in a safe, enclosed space. We have a doggie door built into our storm door that the dogs are welcome to use throughout the day, so they can go in and out as they please. We can also close the doggie door when the weather isn’t suitable. Fresh water is always available, with water bowls kept filled throughout the day. 🐾 Our home is also shared with our very friendly 60-pound, 3-year-old Golden Aussie, who absolutely loves meeting new dogs and having new friends to play with! We’ll make sure introductions are comfortable and that all dogs have a safe, relaxed environment during their stay. ❤️
“Jan was so easy to communicate with, worked with our schedule and took great care of our pup for the day. We were at ease knowing she was cared for. We would definitely use her again.”
“Hands down one of the best sitters EVER! My cuddle bug had been going to her previous sitter for about 5 months and was still trying to warm up to them. However, after a week with Jonelle, Gina was wiggling her butt ready to go. One day she just walked into Jonelle's house without turning back to say bye or to whine. She's truly amazing and makes sure your dogs are treated as part of her family. Her family is just as great about letting your dog have space and build up comfort to bond with them. If you want someone who has great communication, is compassionate, and loves on your dogs (to the point you might consider your dog a traitor) then Jonelle is absolutely the person for you. All around a great person and sitter.”
“Emily was a great sitter. She was super easy to work with. She had a great backyard setup. Our pup, Bandit, loves water and Emily had a doggy pool all set up for him. Would book with Emily again.”
About: I grew up with animals around me at all times! I’ve cared for animals at all stages of their lives from 0-15. I have also cared for multiple animals at once. I am currently working part time so your pet will be well taken care of! I am available for boarding everyday of the week and can board for multiple nights in a row. Doggy daycare can also be everyday! Providing top notch care is always my first priority! I have two other animals including a turtle and rabbit but they are both caged and will not interact with your pet. Dogs are allowed on furniture and will have plenty of room to roam. Walk duration and frequency can change depending on the pet’s needs.
“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.”
“Michelle is amazing, the absolute best! I felt so comfortable leaving my pup with her. She is extremely patient and accommodating. When I was late on pickup due to my crazy hours as a nurse, she was extremely sweet and flexible. My puppy is young and still learning and she was very adaptable with her. I love that my pup was able to socialize with her little ones which allowed her to have fun while getting some energy out. I’m so happy to have found someone that loved and cared for my girl as much as I do! I highly recommend her and will be using her again for daycare!”
About: I have loved animals since childhood, and when I was a child I had a cat. I also lived with my boyfriend's family for a year, they had a dog and I took care of Him. Now periodically my friends leave their dogs with me when they go on a trip or on a business trip. I love this expression: "Dogs talk, but only to those who can listen." I work online so I have a lot of time to play and take care of your dogs. The second part of the day is more freely , but I have a flexible schedule and can combine work and pet care. I have a large one-room apartment with plenty of space for a dog. Near the house there is a large area outside for walking, a few minutes away there is a large park with a lake. I walk the dog several times a day, feed it on schedule, and play with the cats' and dogs' favorite toys.
“We had a great experience with them during our stay in Chicago. We had to change our schedule around last minute and they were super accommodating and prompt with responses. Our pup had an amazing time with them. Highly recommend them for your pet care!”
“Danielle was so flexible, responsive and accommodating to my changing plans. And most importantly, my Ava had an absolute blast! Such a comforting feeling to know she’s being so well taken care of. Will definitely rebook. Thanks again!”
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.
“Bach spent a quiet restful day with Emily and family. He was very happy and well cared for. Even though it was the first visit and only for a day, he seemed very happy and peaceful when we picked him up. It's always difficult to introduce a dog to a new "friend" and household but Emily made it easy and comfortable for Bach. Bach recommends her!”
About: Hi, my name is Rick. I would like to start by saying my schedule is extremely flexible, as I am recently retired from the Office of the Chief Judge, Circuit Court of Cook County. My family and I have a home that has plenty of space to accommodate your pet. We have an 11-year-old son and also have three small dogs of our own that are extremely friendly, playful, up-to-date with all of their shots, and in great health. I believe pets complete a home. I am extremely passionate and enthusiastic about the care and needs of all types of animals. My experience in Pet Care began from having my own pets and caring for the ones of family and friends over a span of 40 plus years. I have also fostered a few dogs over the years. I have a substantial amount of experience with cats, guinea pigs, bunnies, hamsters, turtles, fish and so many others. My goal is to ensure your comfort and confidence, knowing that your pet will be loved and cared for as if it were our own. Should your pet require any medical attention or medication I am completely capable of providing this service, while in my care. We hope you consider us. I look forward to providing a caring, efficient service for your pets. My schedule is extremely flexible, as I am recently retired. For the exception of dropping off and picking up my son from school I am home all day to provide attention and care for your pet. I have a large yard with a privacy fence and three friendly, small dogs to keep your pup company. If preferred, I can easily crate your dog if needed.
About: I grew up around many different breeds of dogs. My family calls me the dog whisperer. Building trust from young puppies to older pups. Also, making sure they are fed, going on walks, and getting bathed as needed. I’m available for boarding on the weekends! I’m a home body so I stay home on the weekend. I’ll have plenty of time to play and care for your pup! I love to give pups cuddles and playing fetch. With summer heat coming around, I have introduced a dog pool to help keep my puppy cool. I love providing new ice treats that are refreshing and delicious!

“Brian took such good care of Simon, it’s abundantly clear that he’s passionate about animals and providing them the best care. He was so communicative and it was one of the very few times where I’ve felt such peace of mind that Simon was in good hands. :) will definitely rebook in the future!”

“Doggies were so happy to see Chris! She was so patient and accommodating to walk them individually so they don't get into their protective pack attitude. Doggies enjoyed their walk! ”
About: 23 years of dedication & genuine love for what I do. I've pretty much done it all except for training. Primarily grooming but also have extensive experience with walking, boarding, day care, home/vacation visits & house sits. I've been a home groomer for the past 8 years but due to allergies, need to switch modes. Over those years I regularly attended workshops & seminars to continue to educate myself & hone my craft. Including certification courses in puppy handling, senior care, proper sanitization, business compliance, skin assessment, & CPR. This only means I have been educated on these subjects, I am not an expert. As mentioned, I was a home groomer so I'll be turning my grooming room into an area for daycare/boarding. I am home based and plan to stay that way. Pets in my home will have a designated area for eating & sleeping but will have freedom to walk about for the most part. I have a large, fenced back yard with plenty of space to run & play. The yard will be the primary potty area. Walks are available for an added charge. Caring for pets in the clients home will be based on the instructions given by owner.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for almost all my life! I am mostly accustomed to adult pets but additionally have some experience with puppies. I currently work part time so I am available to care for your pets! Can stop by for play-time, meal-time, or for a potty break. I enjoy spending time with animals and can be flexible with my time to meet your pets needs. I would to love to work with you to learn your pet’s personality and what things they enjoy doing in order to provide the best care I possibly can for them. I am very reliable and dependable.
“Great experience from the start. Immediately received friendly response from Bentley. Definitely a professional who knows the right questions to ask and make you feel comfortable that they have the skills you need.”
About: Hello! My name is Monica and I’m 26 years old. I have lived with both cats and dogs my whole life. I work at an Animal Hospital and my passion is to care for animals. My dog (Akita) passed away a few years ago, he lived 14 long and incredible years and survived two cancers. I recently lost my cat of 16 years as well, she unfortunately had kidney failure and thyroid disease. I miss them every day. I currently have two rescued cats that mean the world to me. I would love to get the chance to meet and care for your pets. I believe this would help me feel fulfilled and bring some light back into my life. I have connections to vets and would make sure your baby is always safe. I have a heart filled with love ready to give to your little or big four legged family member. I work part time and have a love for animals. Working at the vet allows me to provide a healthy lifestyle for your pet. I am not ready to adopt my own dog just yet as I’m still grieving so being able to take care of your fur babies brings light back into my life! I live in a safe neighborhood and have a fenced yard with a few nearby parks. I have two very lovable cats, but I have a two story house and can easily separate the pets. I would love your pet just like my own.

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.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, in all shapes and sizes. Ever since I was old enough, I have been pet/dog sitting for my neighbors and family friends. Currently having a senior dog, I understand that some pets need special medication, food, etc. I am more than happy to provide whatever type of care your furry family members need to feel comfortable. I am in the Masters of Occupational Therapy program at Elmhurst University. I have 1-2 classes Monday-Thursday, as well as coaching for club lacrosse. I am pretty flexible with dates and times for pet sitting. I want to make sure your pets are as comfortable and happy as possible while you are away. My focus is to give them lots of love and attention, as well as provide exercise through walks and playing in the backyard.
“Collette has been so good with my pups! So glad that I found her. She is very detail oriented and accommodating. Collette keeps me updated on everything. Thank you again Collette.”
About: I have loved animals my whole life and have experience caring for pets of different kinds. Back in Ukraine, I have a cat named Kuzya who is still very dear to me and whom I miss every day. I was responsible for his daily care, feeding, cleaning the litter box, and making sure he felt safe and comfortable. Growing up, I also had a dog (a Jagdterrier), a parrot, and a hamster, so I understand the needs of both energetic and small pets. I am comfortable with walking dogs, playing with them, feeding, giving fresh water, and providing calm companionship for cats. Although I don’t currently have pets in the U.S., I truly miss being around animals. That’s one of the main reasons I joined Rover — I would love to spend time caring for pets and giving them attention, love, and reliable care while their owners are away. I am responsible, organized, patient, and I will always treat your pet as if they were my own. Due to my college schedule, I am available on Mondays and Wednesdays around midday. On Saturdays, I may have availability depending on the time. I am not available on Sundays. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I may have availability with advance notice. I am flexible when scheduled ahead of time and always do my best to accommodate your pet’s need. Please feel free to message me to confirm availability. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I securely attach leashes during walks, double-check doors, and never leave pets unattended. I respect your home and treat your pet with patience, care, and attention.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I’ve raised many puppies and taken care of them into their senior days. I’ve provided pure love, safety, care, and tons of cuddles with many many many doggies. My own throughout my entire life, and for many friends, neighbors, family, and clients. My schedule is pretty open and flexible right now. So I’d have all the time to give your pups all my time and attention. Availability 7 days a week. I have a fenced yard. A safety gate blocking the stairs to the basement so no little doggies that might have trouble slipping on stairs can get to them or the basement. A dogs safety is always my utmost priority.
About: I had my first dog at just 6 years old and my love for animals had been growing ever since😊I currently have a dog of my own who is 5 years old! I’ve had her since she was a puppy (day she was born lol!) due to an accidental litter from my dog(who unfortunately passed away and is her mother) and my moms dog! So I am very good with puppy training as well😊I am good with administering medicine as needed for your fur baby if that is something you need! I work 3 night time 12 hour shifts Friday-Sunday so I am free during the week! I am in nursing school as well but as of now my classes are online! I can keep your fur baby company and play with them. I’m very good with animals of all kinds and making them comfortable around me! I offer companionship and treats lol! I love long walks for dogs so they will get plenty of potty breaks and lots of outside time!
About: Being a bunny owner, I take a very patient approach towards each animal I am caring for. I prefer to know their habits and quirks before I begin our journey of knowing each other. I pay very close attention to each animals body language and move forwards based on that. Growing up I was extremely obsessed with my families dogs and cats. My first pet was a grey cockatiel bird that I rescued, shortly after I got my first yellow lab. Ever since, I have been very involved in taking care of many of my family or friends pets while they are away. I have taken care of extremely small puppies, fish, birds, bunnies, and cats, to nervous, and anxious big labs ! I heavily enjoy spending time next to a furry creature and I even have a bunny of my own named Diva. She has been a very long lesson in attention to attitude when it comes to handling an animal. I am more than available during the day or night to take care of any animal, I do not have a current job so I am free during awkward hours. I make sure to follow the directions my clients have left for me, I often ask more information on the personality of the animal so I understand our boundaries !
About: I have trained two puppies and I raised my dog for 12 years! I would love to meet your dog and treat them as mine own! I work as Nursing assistant but I also have some free time and would love to work with animals as well! I enjoy being helpful! I can drive to your home and make sure your pet is taken care of and kept clean! I can also take them out for walks as needed !
About: Hi, my name is Lindsey! I am looking to help take care of your furry loved ones and give you an extra hand. I have over 15 years of experience with dogs from personal ownership. I have experience with small to large dog breeds of various ages and behaviors as well. I can help assist with playtime, training (if you would like), dog walking, socialization, and provide extra specialized attention. I have fostered dogs through the PAWS Chicago organization, so my skills are wide-ranging and knowledgable! I am flexible on dates and more than willing to figure out something that works for both of our schedules, so your dog(s) are well taken care of. You can contact me here or any of the personal information I have provided such as email or phone. I hope to connect soon! 2026 Summer Update: Please message me for recent testimonies from long term clients. Restarting with accepting new clients, lots of availability! NOTE: For boarding/daycare only, please inquire only if your pet is dog-friendly. I live in a dog-friendly building so your dog must be okay around other dogs. No exceptions. I am a nurse with flexible work scheduling which allows me to dedicate my time and attention to what needs your special, furry loved ones require. I can crate your dogs if needed. Take them on long walks through a quiet suburb or a park if they need more energy burnt. I will send updated pictures/videos upon request. We can discuss any special environmental needs of your pet as well:)

“My first sit with Beryl and my pup and I couldn’t be happier! She was flexible, kind and energetic, and sent pictures regularly. Communication was great and Dory came home happy. 😊”
“Rob was so great with our dog Rory! He was very attentive and sent along tons of great pictures and updates. She definitely had a great time at his house, playing in the yard, and snuggling on the couch. Thanks Rob!!”
“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!”
“Brian was so great watching our pup Mowgli! We felt comfortable knowing Mowgli was in good hands, Brian provided regular updates and great communication. As this was our first time leaving Mowgli with a sitter we were so glad to find Brian! Highly recommend!”
“Cheryl is an excellent sitter. Our dog Rambo is always excited to go and spend time with her. It is clear that she loves animals and we are grateful to have found her. Cheryl is our preferred choice for our pet sitting and boarding needs.”
“Andrea and her husband took such good care of our dogs when we were out of the country. They went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and sent multiple videos and photos per day. Andrea treated our dogs as if they were her own and we knew they were in good hands. We are so appreciative of Andrea and her husband! 10/10 recommend!”
“Jasmine was one of the best dog sitters I’ve had in the Rover group. It is evident she is an experienced dog sitter as well as owner. She was caring and sensitive to all the particular needs and and concerns of my dog. I felt comfortable and confident in having Freddy in her care.”
“Joe was wonderful and Max loves his stay! We got plenty of pictures and Max was smiling in all of them :) . We will definitely be using Joe again. Thank you!!”
“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!”
“I absolutely love this sitter! My dog always has the best time and comes home happy and exhausted. She got sick on this last visit and they were very communicative and followed up after to make sure Rylee was okay. All good things to say!!!!”
“Jenny was great with our Hazel girl! She was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures while we were gone. She was very thorough with care instructions, so we knew our girl was being well cared for!”
“Mary took great care of our girl. This was the first time we had to leave her with anyone else so we were a little worried. Ms Dolly was treated like she was at home. She got lots of walks in, which I know she loved. If we need a sitter again we would choose Mary, if she would take Dolly again.”
“My dog loved Eniya and family!! She sent me pics while I was on vacation. She has a son so my Dog(Bears) had someone to play with. I felt like my dog was on vacation too. My vacation was worry free thanks to Eniya! Eniya and family are good people I could tell! I will gladly use her again😍 Big thank you Eniya!”
“Danielle and her family took care of our Cookie (11.5 yrs) and our Stella (8 months) while we visited our daughter out of town. Our dogs were treated well like their own. We really appreciated knowing our dogs were safe and in a caring home with a big fenced in yard.”
“Absolutely without a doubt one of the best cat sitters we have EVER had. Amberley and her husband Matt went above and beyond to slowly introduce my cats to their new surroundings - to the point where they were sleeping with the cats in a separate room to ensure their comfort and care. They went above and beyond a normal “sitter” service. I would 100% recommend them without hesitation. Communication, pictures, etc. were all consistent, prompt and reassuring. Thank you Amberley and Matt!?”
“I had a great experience with Ruben. I got daily updates along with pictures, and my sweet girl came home happy and healthy. I will definitely be booking again!”
“Great communication and did amazing with our anxious doggie. It was hard to predict our dog’s anxiety level as she had never been away from us for so long, but they really made it work. Grateful for their service”
“Courtney was terrific with my dog. My dog has anxiety and doesn't eat good when I'm away. Courtney went above and beyond to help her eat. She's very laid back which is what my dog needs. Really knows her dog stuff as her career has always been working with dogs plus her vet tech degree. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Justine was extremely generous with her time and provided a safe and loving environment for our senior dog who is 15 years old and blind. I did not want our dog to be in a setting with too many other dogs which would make him nervous and on top of that he takes medications. This was a family style setting and Justine and her family treated my dog like family. That’s the best quality experience you could ask for.”
