“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!”
“Doug & Deb were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Mae! They gave her lots of attention, cuddles, and walks. It was a relief to know that she was getting such great care (and having a fantastic time) while we were away.”
“Maria was amazing with my dog!! I was so nervous leaving my dog with someone other than family. Lucy is a rescue so she has been through it. Maria and her daughter took such good care of my pup and sent pictures daily.”

“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!”
About: I am a dog lover who would love to watch over your pet while you’re gone. I have a house in Norwood Park where dogs have free range to roam about and a large fenced in backyard to explore. I am self employed and spend a good amount of time at home. I love dogs & want to use our space to welcome fun visitors! I am home most of the day & am able to let dogs outside & go for walks frequently. If I do need to leave, dogs have free range of the house to explore.
“Jan was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our dog and treated our dog like family. We loved receiving regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We truly appreciate the kindness, professionalism, and attention Jan gave our furry family member. We'll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Lauren and her family took such good care of our dog Sawyer! This was our first time being away from our puppy so we were worried she was going to be scared, but she had so much fun playing with their dog Zoe while we were away. Lauren sent us pictures everyday to let us know how she was doing. By the time we got back, Sawyer was already attached to Lauren, Zoe, and the rest of the family.”
“Elva did a fantastic job watching our dog Andy while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond. We are very hesitant to leave our pup with anyone but Elva’s care and attention to detail made us feel extremely comfortable. Elva made our dog eggs when he wasn’t eating and tended to his diet while providing so much additional and helpful information. We were extremely happy with Elva’s service and her constant communication. We would recommend her to everyone.”
“Bear had a wonderful time with Diane he played with all her stuffed animals he had other for babies to play with she sent me videos of him playing she is absolutely amazing we will definitely use her again I felt very comfortable leaving him with her! I highly recommend Diane I am very particular about who watches my lil Bear”
“Our two girls, Elizabeth and Scout, were cared for wonderfully by Suzanne. On our first meet and great prior to boarding, our girls took to Suzanne immediately, this was GREAT to see since we booked a sixteen night stay! Elizabeth needed to have oral medication twice daily and Suzanne was happy to make sure Elizabeth's needs were met. We were pleased with how well our girls got along with Suzanne's new puppy, Harley ?, and her fenced-in yard provided a safe outdoor space for our girls to hang out. Suzanne was great at sending photos and videos, to keep us updated on how our girls were doing throughout our trip. When we picked our dogs up, we found two very happy girls, that had a great time in Suzanne's care. We highly recommend Suzanne for your dog sitting or boarding needs, as she really seems to have a way with dogs.????”
“Laura and Vladimir are wonderful, along with the rest of the family members that I got to meet. They are all very attentive dog caregivers! Our senior pup seemed very comfortable in their care and got along well with the other dogs that they were hosting.”
“Rizwan and Noorjahan were so great with my dog Oliver. I had a family emergency while also being away and they were patient and accommodating with me arranging this short notice sitting. I really appreciated their policies that align with my dog’s needs, their communication, photos, and their kindness. I felt very comfortable knowing Oliver was being cared for by them.”
“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!”

“5-star rating for Chris! From the moment we met her, we felt comfortable in her abilities and seriousness to make our cat, Pearl, feel loved and well taken care of while we were out of town for a week. Her daily updates and photos of her visits put us at ease while we were away. She was referred on Rogers Park Neighborhood News FB page and lived up 100% to the recommendations and comments she received on that group!”
“Patricia was so great! Helped take care of our little zoo of ferrets, chickens, lizard, fish and a cat. Our ferret needed daily medicine which was super important and Patricia was so reliable we didn’t have to worry!

“Nicholas was an amazing cat sitter from start to finish. We were out of the country for a week and he stopped by right on time, provided multiple photos and a detailed update of everything completed in each visit. He went above and beyond in watching after our 2 elderly cats and was flexible with us incase our flight was delayed. We feel very comfortable booking him for our next trip. If we didn’t work from home, I would definitely be booking him to take care of our dog. Would recommend him!!!”
About: I have cared for cats in many of the homes where I’ve pet-sat, and I’m comfortable understanding and adapting to their unique personalities and energy. I appreciate their calm nature and have hands-on experience providing reliable care while their families are away. I’ve handled responsibilities such as feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure they are comfortable and well cared for. However, I believe caring for cats is about more than simply meeting their basic needs, but about building a genuine connection with them. I take the time to earn their trust, respect their space, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.
“Best sitter ever! Helped our anxious dogs through a week of our absence and allowed my family and I to enjoy a vacation and family wedding with ease! Thank you SO much, Yazmin!”
“Jackie took awesome care of my fur baby. Always on time, followed special feeding instructions & sent plenty of pictures of drop by visits. Would definitely rebook when I need to head out of town.”
“Brandy is the BEST! She has the patience of a saint in dealing with Goose the troublemaker! I really appreciate all the care gives and the time she takes to make sure that my bunch is well cared for. So happy that she still says yes when I ask her to sit.”

“We could not ask for a better first experience. Tanya took excellent care of our new puppy. From potty breaks to play times she was there with him sending updates and pics. We were able to enjoy our night knowing he was in good hands. Thanks 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.”
“Janessa was absolutely amazing! Her communication to understand my dog prior made me feel so comfortable, and the attentiveness/updates while Berkeley was at her home made me feel so reassured and trusting. Janessa’s home is the perfect place for your doggo to spend time at - I absolutely recommend you choose Janessa for your fur-paninis’ needs!!”
“Jackie saved the day, offering to sit for my dog CoCo when the other sitter failed to come through for me. She is kind, thoughtful, responsible, and communicative, and I love her Black Cat! I recommend her whole-heartedly. :)”
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and hands-on caregiver. I raised my own dog from the time I was 15, so I have real experience caring for a dog through every stage of life, from energetic younger years to senior care. I understand the importance of patience, routine, and paying attention to changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve babysat family pets many times and am comfortable with both large and small dogs. I take pet safety and comfort seriously and treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, calm companionship, or extra TLC, I’m attentive, gentle, and dependable. Pet care is now my full-time focus, which means I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to every pet in my care. I'm available throughout the week and on weekends, making it easy to accommodate a variety of schedules, including last-minute requests when possible. I plan ahead to make sure any pets in my care receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I’m reliable about sticking to schedules and instructions so your pet’s day stays as normal and stress-free as possible. When caring for pets overnight, my priority is safety, comfort, and keeping their routine as consistent as possible to your dogs needs. I make sure pets have a calm, secure environment and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any special needs. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and comfort throughout their stay, and I never leave pets unattended for long periods of time. I keep spaces clean, pet-safe, and free of hazards, and I’m careful to respect boundaries, especially for pets who may need time to adjust in a new environment. I provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while their pets are in my care. Whether your pet needs playtime, quiet companionship, or extra reassurance overnight, I treat them with patience, respect, and the same care I would give my own.
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 have been around dogs my entire life since I was 3 years old. My experience includes dogs of all ages, from young puppies to senior dogs up to 14 years old. Growing up with dogs has taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. I regularly care for my family's dogs whenever my parents are out of town, handling daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and providing companionship. In addition, I have cared for dogs and other pets for family members and friends while they travel. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs, my reliability, and the genuine care I provide to every animal I look after. I treat every pet as if they were my own and work hard to maintain their normal routine so they feel happy and secure. As a Physical Therapy student, my weekdays can be busy with classes and studying, but caring for animals remains an important part of my daily routine. Every day, I make sure my pets are fed before I leave for school and again when I return home. I also stay on top of responsibilities such as cleaning the litter box and making sure all of my animals are comfortable and well cared for. My weekends are much more flexible, allowing me to dedicate additional time and attention to pet care. Because I balance a demanding academic schedule with caring for my own pets, I am organized, responsible, and committed to maintaining consistent routines. Pet owners can trust that their animals will receive dependable care, attention, and affection while they are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and maintaining a comfortable environment for the pet. I understand that pets feel most secure when they can stay in their normal routine, so I make every effort to follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. For dog walks, I will ensure dogs are securely leashed, remain aware of our surroundings, and provide exercise appropriate for their age and energy level. During drop-in visits, I will make sure pets have fresh food and water, clean up after them as needed, and spend quality time giving them attention and companionship. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. I am dependable, attentive to details, and committed to keeping owners updated so they can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away.

“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!

“Lauren and her family took such good care of our dog Sawyer! This was our first time being away from our puppy so we were worried she was going to be scared, but she had so much fun playing with their dog Zoe while we were away. Lauren sent us pictures everyday to let us know how she was doing. By the time we got back, Sawyer was already attached to Lauren, Zoe, and the rest of the family.”
“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!”
“Nicky was great with our Frenchie. Lots of communication and photos. Would recommend if you need someone that can care for a fussy dog that needs lots of attention!”
About: I am a sound healer, wife, mother to my toddler and animals. My husband is a city of chicago worker and we love the chicago area :) We are very active and love to go on long walks and love being outside with our dogs! I absolutely adore cats and love to spend time feeding the feral cats in my neighborhood. In my spare time I also love to go to the local park with my daughter to watch the squirrels and birds. I love nature. I am good with all types of animals and they love me! We have 2 dogs and 3 cats, and some chickens in our backyard. Our dogs are very friendly and love making new friends whenever they can. I truly love watching and meeting new animals and enjoy this type of work. Your pet will love and I cannot wait to meet and take care of them. Please reach out so I can help you with your pet needs! My schedule is open and flexible. My sound healing job varies but typically does not get in the way of pet sitting/ dog walking. Most days I am at home with my toddler or we are out exploring the parks. We have many pets in our home that we care for. I love to work with lists to help me to ensure all tasks are completed and that I am organized.
“We are so happy to have found Arlene ! I had never left my dog with anyone other than family and never used the app before. Good experience all around ! Arlene was super laid back and I knew she could handle anything that might come up , even with our dog whom she had never met before we dropped her off. Flexible about times that were convenient for me. and clearly my dog was very comfortable and not anxious at all. Thank you !”
“Jonelle was great with stella, and replied msgs on time and updated me about how Stella was doing. I would definitely recommend and rebook with jonelle for future. Thank you jonelle .”
“Incredible dogsitters — my pup absolutely loved them. They took great care of him and sent plenty of photos! Would absolutely dogsit with them again. <3”
About: I have previously worked in a dog and cat daycare, boarding, and grooming center for three years, and have watched pets of family friends since 2018. I have owned and cared for dogs, cats, snakes, birds, and more, and my family regularly fosters kittens! I am comfortable with feeding, giving medication (not injections), walking, and providing care for all types of pets. My schedule is available for overnight care at your home, daily drop-ins, single visits, or walks. Please ask me about any accommodations you may need and I will see if I can provide them. In your house, I am happy to follow any instructions about leashed or unleashed time on walks or in your backyard, will feed on your schedule, and can spend time with your pet as much as you need. I am happy to try and accommodate any changes you may need to make, give updates with photos, and tell you any behavioral or medical changes as soon as possible.
“Camille was great with our dog Rex! Very friendly and accommodating, took care of him for 5 days, sent daily updates with photos, spoiled him with long walks, treats and even bough him Christmas gifts! Great experience and Rex seemed happy and very well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Camille!”
“Sky was the absolute bestttt with my dog while she spent the week with her. Great communicator and very understanding. My dog had so much fun, she came back home so worn out. Definitely booking her again soon!”
“Rico and his wife were such a great hosts for Wylie. We felt so good about leaving him in good hands. They played with him in their yard, walked him, and just overall took great care of him. He is excited for his next stay and we are definitely booking with Rico again.”
“Ian did a great job with my very high energy one year-old pit mix. Sent lots of pics & updates, which I greatly appreciate as someone whose separation anxiety is worse than my dog’s. Wiley got to make a lot of friends & romp around in the yard. When he got home he slept like a rock for hours. Would gladly book Ian again in the future!”
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my dog Pumpkin to Eric, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the outstanding care she received. It was evident that Eric is not just a caregiver but has a true passion for animals. Communication was seamless and reassuring throughout the entire process. Eric took the time to understand my dog's unique needs, preferences, and routines, ensuring a smooth transition during my time away. Regular updates, including photos and videos, provided an invaluable connection while I was away. Upon my return, it was clear that my dog had not just been well cared for but had genuinely enjoyed her time with Eric making the transition back home easy!”
