“This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.”
“Ana and Byron were wonderful. They help me put my worries to rest. Zoey loved being with them. They sent daily pictures of Zoey. I knew Zoey would be ok with them when she fell asleep on their sofa during our meet and greet. I will definitely use them again.”
“Rolanda was amazing! She was extremely nice throughout the entire process and helped me with any questions I had. She constantly kept me updated with pictures and it looked like my Bella had so much fun. From drop off to pick up she was just incredible and it was a really smooth process.Her communication is on point and she kept me comfortable throughout the process. Being that this was the first time I used this app I was nervous, but not anymore; I will definitely be using her again!”
“Ellie is the best! She is responsive, friendly, and clearly passionate about dogs! She was great with my puppy and sent so many great pictures, reassuring me that he was loving his time there. It gives me peace of mind knowing our pup is well taken care of and in such great hands. Highly recommend Ellie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and fun daycare/boarding option!”
“Our dog Baxter loved staying with Ericka. She kept us updated with pictures of him happily enjoying his time with her. He has separation anxiety and her ability to be home most of the time with him was particularly good for him.”
“Iman was a wonderful sitter! I usually take my dog to boarding when I go on vacation but they were all booked so this was a last minute decision I was a bit skeptical of. However Iman made me feel comfortable in choosing her, she kept me updated throughout my time a part from Bentley with lots of photos and videos. She even gave us a parting gift of some fresh wet food for him. Definitely will be rebooking in the future when services are needed. I think Bentley enjoyed himself a lot because as soon as we got home he was sleep like a baby, safe to say he had lots of fun!! Thank you again❤️”
“Amia,Joshua and family have been nothing but great to my baby Barry. He loves spending time over there, I definitely recommend them. They are the best fit for your fur baby 🙂”
About: I have both a cat and a dog. Recently moved out to steger/monee.

Anywhere that I can commute via CTA to walk, sit, or feed your pet. I have 3 cats in my apartment, although I have previous experience with a family dog.

“Rover was quick, easy. The fact that the people who keep your dogs are vetted, is very important to me. Jesus was referral to me. He was wonderful with McKenzie. He was kind, understanding & patient with my elderly dog. He was extremely professional. I will definitely use Rover again & Jesus - absolutely! It was a very positive experience for me & my dog!!”
“Anna was great. She took care of my pup for two days and I can tell she had a blast. She sent tons of photos and kept me updated on everything. Took her walks as well which is a huge plus since I can’t take her that often. Will definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Excellent care. Our senior dog was well cared for while staying with Barbara. Daily updates and photos let us know our pup was happy. Highly recommend Barbara and we will definitely book again!”
About: Hi! I’m a Veterinary student with experience in animal behavior, dog training, pet handling, and more. I’m passionate about providing a safe, loving, and stress free environment for pets in my home. My veterinary education helps me recognize health concerns, understand animal body language, and ensure every pet receives attentive, knowledgeable care. I will care for your pets with all the love in my heart, treating them as if they were my own and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved throughout their stay. 🐾❤️ As a Veterinary student, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I am available to care for pets during both weekdays and weekends, and I can provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a secure apartment building with controlled access and a safe environment. There are several nearby parks and walking areas where your pet can enjoy regular exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. I typically accept only one pet (or pets from the same family) at a time. I do not board pets from different households together, which helps prevent conflicts, anxiety, and unnecessary stress. This allows me to give each pet my full attention and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay.
“Laura took the best care of our 2 small dogs! She was flexible with our drop off /pick up times and sent pics each day. We asked her to keep an extra eye on our tiny escaping puppy, and Laura took extra care with the leash and yard. So comforting to leave the pups knowing they have company and watchful care!”
“Mercedes and her family were the best caregivers I could have asked for! I had to leave my 9 week old puppy for 6 days and I felt so comfortable with the level of care she was provided. I got multiple daily updates and photos of my little Luna playing with Mercedes, her cute pup, and her children. They had all the toys, bedding, and comforts my puppy needed. I loved it and it made me feel very confident with my decision in booking, I was worried she would want to stay there forever. :-) Mercedes and her family were very kind, sweet, genuine people and I’m so grateful for them! I will 100% be booking with Mercedes again. Thank you!”
“Sheree is an amazing pet sitter! She sent me photos and videos throughout Zoe’s first overnight stay with her and King. To see Zoe adjust so well so quickly was the best! Allowed me to enjoy a night out in the city with my boyfriend and his family without having to worry about my fur-baby. Will definitely recommend Sheree to family and friends!!”
About: I’m fortunate to have experience with a wide variety of animals thanks to my cousins, who have two cats, three dogs, a turtle, and a horse. I help care for their pets regularly, so I’m comfortable meeting the unique needs of animals of all kinds and treating each one like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m currently finishing up breast cancer treatment and have intentionally chosen pet sitting as my primary work. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and being able to provide reliable, loving care while I’m in this season of life has been incredibly rewarding. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. At my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard for supervised play, exercise, and potty breaks, along with plenty of attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other care instructions. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

“Kiana did an awesome job taking care of my pets for 8 days while I was on vacation. This is the first time that I have used Rover and it was great. I have three cats, a bunny, and a hamster. Kiana sent me pictures after each visit and my pets seemed to be happy when I got back home!”
“This was our first time using Rover. My husband and I went on a week-long trip, and we couldn't find anyone to watch our 2 kitties overnight. I was nervous because I usually like to have family watch them, as I know them. After meeting Khalia, I could tell she cared for animals, and it made me feel better. She did a great job with our little chaos gremlins, and they felt safe with her! She left everything nice and clean, respected our home, and gave us updates with pictures. The pics meant a lot! I'm a worried cat momma, so this helped with us being so far away. We'll continue to reach out to her when we need a cat sitter!”
“Erica is a loving and skilled caregiver for our aging cats. Two of the three need medicine (one mixed in his food, one applied inside his ear), and she takes on these routines along with their elaborate feeding needs (wet food! dry food! treats! all in 3 different places for the 3 cats!) with such care and confidence. She's even made extra stops when there have been storms to make sure all is well. Erica is our go-to. With her, we're always at ease that our kitties and our house are in the best hands when we're traveling. Our kitties are lucky to have her as their auntie!!”
“Thank you for caring for Baby. It gave me such a peace of mind while I was away. Thank you so much for the toy for baby, that was such a kind gesture! Would hire again”

“Jazz was so very awesome. This was the first time we used Rover and she was a definite awesome choice for our cats. We had a video call before to discuss everything and make sure we both knew what was to be expected. I got a text and photos and video of her visit with the cats, so my mind was more at ease. We will definitely recommend and rebook Jazz 😊”
“Elizabeth was one of the best cat sitter we have ever had! Aroma and espresso warmed up to her instantly and based on pictures and videos I could tell they loved her! She was very caring, communicative, respectful and friendly. Our house was left spotless and our cats well taken care of. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter and we will be booking her again moving forward - Can’t recommend her enough! Please consider her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Thank God for good people in this world! We've booked twice with Jacqueline and Ryan and we've been more that pleased with them. They take such good care of our dogs, it's amazing! They are very flexible and accommodating in every way. Jacqueline always returns your calls/messages in a timely fashion and they are very pet conscious! Like their motto says..."we love dogs"... is definitely fitting and it shows. Convenient pick up and drop off. Very reasonable pricing. Excellent care...our dogs come home exhausted from playing and running around in their yard. We are very happy with their services and they are now our new dog groomers as well!

About: I’ve been caring for cats for years and absolutely love their unique personalities! During college, I helped care for five different cats belonging to my roommates over four years. This experience gave me a solid understanding of how to meet the needs of both playful kittens and senior cats. I’m skilled at administering medications, following precise feeding instructions, and providing enrichment to keep cats happy and healthy. Whether your cat loves interactive play, quiet cuddle time, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and preferences. I understand how important it is for cats to feel comfortable and secure, and I treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets with different needs and routines. I have taken care of a 1-year-old cat along with 3 other adult cats, including a cat who required at least 30 minutes of playtime and interaction every day. I have also cared for a large dog who ate home-cooked soup mixed with his food at specific feeding times, as well as a husky who stayed in an air-conditioned dog house unit and required daily vitamins and attentive care. I am good at following direction for the desired care you and your pet need. I work remotely and any activities I plan I would plan around a schedule if at all with the pet in mind. I will plan in advance for the openings I have in my schedule to permit me to be with the pet. I typically stay in the pets home to create a less stressful environment for the pet and go about its daily routine as instructed by the pet owner. I will stay as long as required by the pet owner or stay in a guest bedroom all day depending on what makes the pet owner most comfortable with.

About: I love animals. I have owned a horse, birds and fish. Although I never owned a dog or cat, Friends and family have always asked me to pet sit and I have always been more than happy to ablige. As a former letter Carrier, my favorite customers were four-legged. I am retired and want to stay active. Who can keep you more fit and active than a dog that is waiting for a walk-date? When I have dog sat, I usually go for multiple walks. I can walk all day. The dogs love it and it makes them tired. Animals need mental stimulation outside of their house or yard just like people. I try to find things to keep us both busy and happy.

I will care for your pets with all the love in my heart, treating them as if they were my own and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved throughout their stay. 🐾❤️ As a Veterinary student, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I am available to care for pets during both weekdays and weekends, and I can provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a secure apartment building with controlled access and a safe environment. There are several nearby parks and walking areas where your pet can enjoy regular exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. I typically accept only one pet (or pets from the same family) at a time. I do not board pets from different households together, which helps prevent conflicts, anxiety, and unnecessary stress. This allows me to give each pet my full attention and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay.
“Mercedes and her family were the best caregivers I could have asked for! I had to leave my 9 week old puppy for 6 days and I felt so comfortable with the level of care she was provided. I got multiple daily updates and photos of my little Luna playing with Mercedes, her cute pup, and her children. They had all the toys, bedding, and comforts my puppy needed. I loved it and it made me feel very confident with my decision in booking, I was worried she would want to stay there forever. :-) Mercedes and her family were very kind, sweet, genuine people and I’m so grateful for them! I will 100% be booking with Mercedes again. Thank you!”
“Sheree is an amazing pet sitter! She sent me photos and videos throughout Zoe’s first overnight stay with her and King. To see Zoe adjust so well so quickly was the best! Allowed me to enjoy a night out in the city with my boyfriend and his family without having to worry about my fur-baby. Will definitely recommend Sheree to family and friends!!”
“What a great experience! Wrigley felt right at home, he loved playing with Dan and Joys kids. I received daily updates and pictures. I would give Wrigley’s stay and the friendly atmosphere a 5++. Thank you for treating Wrigley as family. Cathy Gonzalez”
“Thaaaannnkkk you Toya! She was wonderful throughout the whole process. Great communication, was able to accommodate only a few days prior of notification, and flexible with the booking! Dropoff was easy, and my dog didn't even bark when she came out (always a good sign of a dog person!). Of course he would have a small incident in her residence, Toya was informative in what happened and was still patient and kind. We would definitely consider using her again.”
“I was in from out of town and Eleanor took wonderful care of my two dogs. They had a big, secure, fenced outdoor space. It was clear that Eleanor and her husband had a passion for pups and were very knowledgeable. I would trust them with my dogs anytime!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have raised several from young puppies into adulthood. I currently care for my three dogs—Nala, Sage, and Willow—and have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic puppy care, and giving each dog the patience and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your pet like they’re one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I receive my work schedule monthly, so I keep my availability up to date and am happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit both of our schedules. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, and provide a loving, dependable environment while you’re away.
“Highly recommend Rachel. Meet and greet was very good - she asked numerous questions so she would be fully equipped to handle any issue. We left our sweet Stella with Rachel for 7 days and we received several photos and updates throughout the entire week. Rachel is kind and sweet and clearly loves taking care of the world’s furry friends. We plan to book with Rachel the next time we go out of town. She did a great job!!”
“Jennifer did an awesome job with our dog,Lola! She was very flexible to help us out, due to an unexpected need! Jennifer always kept us in the loop with how our dog was doing— whether it was a message in the inbox or pictures! She was very professional and I would highly recommend her services!”
“Archer had a wonderful time at Karen’s. With his puppy behavior and not being around other dogs much I was a little worried. Karen was kind and reassuring. She kept me updated on his behavior through our trip. Archer settled in and made himself at home. She will be at the top of our list next time care is needed for Archer.”
About: Dogs aren’t just my job—they’re my passion and my lifestyle. I dedicate my life to understanding canine behavior and providing every dog with safe, structured, and individualized care. I have experience working with all types of dogs, from energetic puppies to seniors, as well as reactive, fearful, and behaviorally challenging dogs. I also train high-drive working breeds, so I’m comfortable handling dogs that require advanced structure, confidence, and clear communication. Every dog in my care is treated like family while receiving consistent routines, exercise, mental enrichment, and plenty of attention. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. Whether your dog loves to play, needs a calm environment, or benefits from structured guidance, I tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. I’m available seven days a week with flexible scheduling. I typically only require at least 24 hours’ notice to ensure I can provide the best care and accommodate your dog’s needs. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to work with your schedule. Safety and structure are my top priorities. Every dog receives personalized care based on their age, energy level, and individual needs. For active dogs, I offer walks, structured play, mental enrichment, obstacle work, and appropriate exercise. I also have a dog-powered slat mill for conditioning experienced dogs when appropriate and with the owner’s approval. Dogs have access to a secure, fully fenced area and safe kennel accommodations when resting or during supervised rotations. If you’re interested in training, I also offer structured training programs for an additional fee. Training can include leash manners, obedience, confidence building, engagement, and customized goals based on your dog’s needs. Each training dog follows a consistent daily routine designed to encourage good habits while keeping the experience positive and rewarding. My goal is to provide a safe, enriching, and well-structured environment where every dog receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve.
