“Hannah's care to my dog was wonderful, the photo she sent to me daily really assured me that Ling-Ling was at a sweet home away from home, that gave me a great relieve to be able to enjoy my vacation as I knew Ling-Ling was enjoying her great vacation with Hannah and her 7 years old daughter. I will book with Hannah whenever I need to if no conflict with her schedule. It's a great feeling that I will not feel anxious to plan vacation at the future anymore because I found Hannah.”
“Ewa doesn’t disappoint! Olive loved her stay and feels so at home with Ewa. She loves the big fenced yard and all the attention and playtime, and I love getting all the updates, photos and videos. Ewa was flexible in allowing me to extend Olive’s stay as I was recovering from surgery. I really appreciated that. I’m so blessed and thankful to have such a wonderful environment and sitter for Olive!”
“Luciana is an absolutely amazing sitter! My pup stayed with her for three weeks, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

We will definitely be reaching out to Kent when we need a sitter again. Would definitely recommend!”

Toewz or our dog Ozzy will see you again soon enough Dave”

“Emily is the perfect sitter for our cats-- they even remembered her from her last drop in a few months ago! She has the best updates. We trust her with our boys wholeheartedly.”
“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!!”

About: I am a seasoned kitty care taker and have two beautiful cats of my own. Fiona is a 14 year old torty and Noodle is a 13 year old orange cat. I have experience taking care of all different breeds of cat including care for Maine Coon and Bengals. I am happy to do anything your cat needs during drop in visits. Does your kitty like to play? Do they like to sit on someone's lap? Or do they just need fresh water and a litter scoop? I'll be there to help! I am also comfortable administering medication and light grooming for long haired or hairless cats. I would love to take care of your family member and am open to any questions about my services and skills!
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was little and I love being able to go on walks and let an animal walk and explore at the same time. I’ve worked with energetic dogs and dogs that like to take their time while walking. I do work a part time job so my afternoons are mostly free. I can do evening walks or really early in the morning everyday. When I check their food I always give fresh water and make sure they have everything they need. I’ll also sit with them for a bit so they have some company and can play with a ball or toy that I can throw for them.
“Karina is the best!! She truly went above and beyond for us- accepting a last minute booking when my flight was rescheduled, leaving treats for my cats, and even sweeping up the litter on the floor! I loved her daily, detailed updates that included pictures and videos, and my cats loved playing with her! I will definitely be booking her again!!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Melanie! She took excellent care of my cat and carefully followed all my instructions. Communication was easy and she also updates with photos everyday. I highly recommend Melanie!”
“Brianna took care of my cats while my fiancée and I were out of town. It’s a bit difficult to find sitters that can administer oral medicine to cats, and Brianna was able to meet the task, give love to my 2 cats and make sure their area was well kept. She responds quickly to texts as well. If you need a cat sitter, I would recommend her to any client!”
“Scott has taken care of our cat several times over the past year and does a fantastic job. He gives our diabetic cat insulin injections and feeds her. He takes time every visit to sit with our cat and pet her while she is without us. Scott sends pictures and updates every time he visits. We will books with him again in the future!”
“Gabrielle was wonderful. We have two cats and they’re not the ‘usual’ and come with a few higher demands. While it might be a work in progress… as we’d expect… it all seemed to go smoothly with one warming up nicely. The other has to ‘think about it’ for a while LOL. She kept the house (she house + cat sit), cats and peripherals in order with no complaints at all. She was here quite a lot with the cats so we absolutely appreciate that. Already have her signed up for another venture!”
“Giada was wonderful & took great care of our cat while we were away. Our cat doesn’t tend to do well with new people but warmed up to Giada during our meet & greet almost immediately.”
“Jeanne is a great sitter and did a wonderful job watching our two cats for one night. She followed our instructions, which included giving one of our cats her medication. She sent lots of pictures and updates, arrived on time, and gave the kitties lots of attention. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of while we were away! We would definitely hire Jeanne again in the future! Thanks again Jeanne! :)”

“D’Artagnan is a great provider for our boy and made sure to send us updates every once in a while to let us know he was doing alright. Reassuring and understood things our boy couldn’t eat or do. Overall very satisfied and believe our boy had a great time.”
“As a first-time dog daycare user, I was filled with worry, but Thea went above and beyond anything I could have imagined. I'm confident that it was a wonderful experience for my dog, Chester, as well. It's hard to put into words how touching the experience was. I am so grateful to Thea, and I have no doubt about her love for dogs. As long as she's available, I will continue to entrust her with Chester.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, I volunteered at Heartland Animal Shelter for 2+ years fostering kittens, adult cats, hospice cats, and walking working dogs of different sizes and personalities. As a pet, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone patient, loving, and attentive. We only take in one family at a time unless previously discussed- we’ve found this is what works best for our families ❤️ I provide: ✅ Frequent photo updates ✅ Playtime and TLC ✅ Oral medication experience- cats ✅ A calm & quiet enviroment for shy or anxious pets ✅ Reliable routines and potty breaks Your pet will receive a lot of supervision and attention. We have two kids in home who don’t bother the pets or visitors I understand every pet is different, and I always take time to understand their personality, routines, and comfort needs so they feel safe while you’re away ❤️ I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I do occasionally leave for short errands, workouts, or appointments (typically 1–3 hours), but I prioritize maintaining your pet’s routine and comfort. Boarding: We live in a two-story home, with a fully fenced private backyard that the pups love. House broken/trained pets only at this time- fixed/neutered/spayed. We use hypochlorous acid spray & dr. bronners soap to disinfect and clean. Cats litter is sustainably yours and scooped 3x a day. Air purifier by the cats litter.

I have one member of my family stay with me during this time. Dog walking: Harness only- no walks by collar. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and boundaries so they feel secure and cared for. I have experience with cats of all ages, including kittens, seniors, hospice kitties, and cats needing medication. For dogs, I’ve worked with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments through Heartland Animal Shelter. I have a fenced yard for dogs that'll enjoy supervised outdoor time (always safely monitored).

“This is the second time Vicki has watched Marty. Marty feels comfortable there and never comes back anxious. Vicki is a great communicator, responds quickly and is very flexible! Another great experience, we are very appreciative!”
“Marta does a fantastic job on accommodating Peppy’s needs on his first day. I appreciate all the updates and photos. She made him feel comfortable throughout the day. I recommend Marta for future pet-sitter :)”
“We were so blessed that Bob was not only available on a Saturday at short notice, but willing to watch our three fur babies, one them elderly and in need of medication! We are from out of state, and had to bring the dogs with us. Saturday required us to be a part of an all-day 50th anniversary celebration, so the dogs needed to be attended to for 10 hours. Bob was incredibly gracious, caring, and attentive to details about our furbies; especially our sweet Maddie, who is blind and requires medication three times a day. What a gift to us to not have to worry about them! We received updates throughout the evening, and when we returned to pick them up, all was well. The pups were happy and had a good time. Bob, we will look for you again if we are ever in Chicago with our dogs. I cannot express how grateful we are to have found you!”
“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!”
“I can confidently say Erena is the best dogsitter out there. She keeps updating with adorable pictures and is incredibly responsive. My dog is always happy and well-cared-for in her hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I am detailed oriented and conscientious and will make sure your dog receives special care under a watchful eye. I have spent most of my life caring first for my two children, and more recently my 6 year old wheaten terrier, Teddy. My dog Teddy loves having company and would like to meet your dog. I have a large in fenced backyard where furry friends and run and play and get daily exercise. I will make sure your dog is appropriaty fed, walked, cleaned, taken potty and loved. I also like to provide message and picture updates via texts to give owners a piece of mind. Please let me know if you have any questions or special requests that I might be able to accommodate.
“Daphne had a fabulous time with Svitlana! I was somewhat of a nervous wreck since my dog was attacked a few months ago by another dog and Svitlana was attentive to our needs and made sure Daphne still had a great time! HIGHLY recommend her!”
“My baby Blaze gets so exited to go to his sitter. He is super responsive and kind 10/10. I highly recommend him and will be using his services for the foreseeable future.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs almost all my life. I am also close relatives first option when it comes to looking after their pets. I currently have lots of free time to help look after your pets! I have six pets that I take care/help take care of it would be no problem adding more. I like to make sure all pets I look after are treated with as much care as my own. I have a fenced in yard but am more than willing to take dogs on daily walks.
“Prithvi has been absolutely wonderful from the start of our communication, to the meet and greet, and to caring after Penny today while our caregivers are still out of town. I felt very comfortable leaving Penny with Prithvi and her new friend Loki. Thank you for the updates, pictures and videos.”
About: My journey with Rover began approximately 8 years ago and it's been a delight to meet and care for furry babies when their parents were in need of a responisible and trusted caretaker. At that time, my Lola, was just as excited to befriend and play with pals. As my Lola grew older, she developed medical issues and my attention and all the time I could give,was directed only towards her. Therefore, I took a pause to spend time with her and give her all I could. Her time, to join the rest of angel friends, came on December 17th, 2025. I came back to Rover simply because I miss the company of the most pure soul and my best friend of 13 years. I know how important it is to leave your pet in good care, cater to your best friend just as your own family and hope to meet them soon.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 13 years old, whether they be my own, family, friends, or friends of friends. Love them all! I have recently retired and looking to fill some of my time with helping take care of your pets. Whether it be checking in on them or watching them while you’re out of town. I have a single-family home with a good size backyard and a pet friendly home. Plenty of room to care for your pets and keep them safe.
“We are so happy we found Balaji to take care of Nysa! He is such a wonderful and caring person who truly treats her like his own. We’ve left Nysa with him more than three times now, and Balaji is always our first preference. He keeps us updated throughout the day with pictures, which gives us so much peace of mind. While we’re at work, we feel completely stress-free knowing Nysa is in such good hands. It’s also been great to see how well his dog has adapted to Nysa—they have so much fun together. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up around many dogs. My parents LOVE English Bulldogs and we always had 2-3 in our home whether we were fostering or they were ours. A few years ago we found a cat in the woods and decided to add to the family! After moving out, I have decided to rescue two cats of my own and they have been such a blessing! I also watch my friends dogs and cats from time to time. I am currently studying to be a personal trainer and work at a gym opening a women’s fitness program. My schedule is pretty open currently as I am studying for my personal trainers certificate! I am also a bodybuilder so my life really revolves around the gym! My schedule is currently very flexible. I currently have two cats, and I play with them often. They have many toys and cat trees. I would consider myself very playful. I also love to walk dogs! My bulldogs at home love walks 1-2 times a day which I have been able to help out with when there. I hope to offer similar services!
“Cathy is an outstanding dog walker! Our rambunctios 2yo lab loved her daily walks, and Cathy even worked with our nervous Border Collie to build up her confidence. Cathy is absolutely reliable, and we highly recommend her!”
“Sarah has been to our house for a meet and greet and a walk with my two dogs. She has been great with communication prior to and following both appointments. She also had a wonderful way with my polar opposite personality dogs. She gave my people-timid boy the space he needed to feel comfortable and trusting while engaging yet supporting the appropriate boundaries I need to practice with my overly exuberant girl. I'm looking forward to Sarah spending more time at my house caring for my sweet best pals.”
“Luciana was great! She was kind, reliable, and took excellent care of my dog. She kept me updated throughout the walks, which I really appreciated. I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I will definitely use her services again! Highly recommend! Thank you!”
“Leora is very reliable and experienced. She walks our dog in all weather. She makes herself available on short notice for special requests like us going downtown. She is very patient, calm, and kind to our dog. We are so happy to have found Leora! She is terrific!”
About: Hello! My name is Carlee, I’m 26, and I’m offering home visits and dog walking in Arlington Heights and it’s surrounding neighborhoods! I’ve had a passion for wildlife since childhood, and I’ve cared for all sorts of animals from hamsters to horses. I’ve been around dogs of all ages and sizes, but I have the strongest experience with adults/seniors and small dogs. My childhood dog was a mini dachshund who developed dementia and mobility issues in her old age; I was an adult by then and took much care of her. I often pet-sit or do home visits for my family and friends, but this will be my first time using a company like Rover to meet new people and animals! My years of experience reflect my pet-care experience in adulthood. Looking forward to getting to know you and your pets :) I have fairly open availability as I'm currently working part time. I do have a couple established dogs I walk weekly, but it shouldn't be hard to fit someone new into my schedule! I can stop by just to feed your pet and/or let them go potty, take them for a walk, play with and accompany them for a time, or do a combination of these. I can stay with your pet as long as necessary.
“Hannah is wonderful! She was so accommodating and truly helped me out last minute. She is great with my rescue pitbull mix. He loves her!!! I will absolutely be booking her to walk my dog again soon!”
About: Hi, I’m Karina! My fiancé and I moved to Wheeling last year and I wanted to get more involved in the local community while spending time with animals. I have 5+ years of hands-on experience working in an animal hospital, along with 15+ years of caring for my own pets. Working in an animal hospital gave me real experience handling different temperaments, reading behavior, and making sure animals feel safe even in unfamiliar situations. At home, I’ve cared for my own pets for years, so I understand how important routines, attention, and consistency are. When your pet is with me, you can expect: - Regular updates and photos - Care that follows your pet’s routine closely - A calm, patient, and attentive environment - Reliable and clear communication I take pride in being dependable and making sure both you and your pet feel comfortable every step of the way. I integrate pet care into my routine by managing my time responsibly. I have enough flexibility to give pets proper attention, playtime, and companionship without rushing or overbooking. I follow instructions closely, monitor behavior and comfort, and maintain clean, safe spaces at all times. I pay attention to routines, energy levels, and subtle changes that may signal stress or discomfort. I take care to respect each pet’s needs and the expectations of their owner, and I treat every home responsibly and professionally.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and know how much love and responsibility they need. Back in middle school, I started my own dog walking business and cared for everything from big Bernese Mountain Dogs to little Shih Tzus. I’m patient, reliable, and love spending time with dogs—whether it’s going for a walk, playing fetch, or just giving them some extra attention. Right now I’m job hunting, so I’m free Monday through Thursday any time of the day. Once I do start working, I’ll still be available most evenings when needed! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting them at yours, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I follow their regular routines for feeding, walks, or playtime, and I give them plenty of attention and affection. I keep their space clean and comfortable—whether it’s making sure dogs get bathroom breaks or keeping litter boxes tidy for cats. I also send updates or photos so owners know their pets are doing well. Every pet gets the care they need based on their personality and routine, and I treat them like they’re my own!
About: I absolutely adore animals and have a giant heart for both cats and dogs! I grew up with a beagle, a golden doodle, two labs, and two vizslas! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, so I will treat your furry family members like my own. As an experienced foster mama, I’m happy to provide walks, potty breaks, belly rubs, and sleepovers any time! I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, medical care needs, and everything in between. My house has no other pets, no kids, WFH sitters, and a fenced in yard; the perfect house to cherish your pet in! I have open availability, Monday through Sunday. My husband and I are both home for work, and can give your pet our full attention and focus! I have a fenced-in yard with lots of room to play, sniff around, and have zoomies! I’m okay with pets on the couch if that’s what they’re used to.
About: Hi! I’m Angelina, and I’ve spent the past 8 years caring for cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. From energetic puppies to seniors who need a little extra care, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique routine, background, and quirks. I have extensive experience with pets who have special health needs. I’m comfortable administering injections, pills, liquid medications, and topical treatments, and I always follow owner instructions carefully to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I’ve attended dog training classes with my own pups and have even taken clients’ dogs to training school, so I’m familiar with reinforcing cues, managing leash manners, and helping pups stay consistent with the skills you’re working on. Whether I’m providing walks, drop-ins, or in-home care, I’m committed to making your dog or cat feel secure and loved. I’ve cared for pets in their homes for both short weekends and long extended stays, and I bring plenty of experience and references from families throughout Lake and Cook County. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is the bond that forms over time. I love sending photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy — and nothing makes me smile more than when a pet recognizes me and gets excited the next time I visit. I’d love to meet your furry family member and learn how I can support their routine. Feel free to reach out with any questions! Pet care already fits naturally into my daily life. I care for my two cats every day, so feeding schedules, playtime, and keeping up with routines are already part of my normal rhythm. I build my weekly schedule around client visits and walks, making sure I leave enough time for each pet to get the attention they need. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening check-ins, I’m flexible and able to fit dog and cat care smoothly into my routine. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, so prioritizing their care feels like a natural and meaningful part of my day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is making them feel comfortable in their own environment. I follow their usual routine—feeding, walks or playtime, litter scooping, and any medications—so everything stays familiar and stress-free. I keep their space clean, offer plenty of gentle attention, and adjust to each pet’s personality and comfort level. I also send photo updates so owners can see their pets relaxed and happy at home.
About: Since I was 11, my neighbors have trusted me to feed and walk their dogs + cats. I have handled very large dogs but also small dogs without struggle, with a wide range of ages from puppies to seniors. I have worked with multiple special needs animals and can administer any kind of medicine. I am a student so I have summer off right now, but start school august 25th. Most important holidays I will be gone out of town for. I am in a boating family, so most weekends we try to get out onto the lake during the summer!! Mostly only free during summer and Christmas break, I try to keep my calendar up to date but feel free to always reach out! I have a fenced in yard with enough space for your pups to run around and play. My neighborhood is a very safe and quiet area. I pay close attention to the pup and will follow your care directions exactly how you would like!
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was 15. Neighbors, friends, family have all relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their fur babies. I’m an animal lover who used to be a jr. Naturalist; I love all animals. I’m currently working a before school care program and an after school care program with the park district. I am available for walking pets starting at 9am-3pm (Monday- Friday) all year round. For pet setting it depends on the time and date. I live in a townhouse with a family friendly neighborhood; I don’t have a fenced in yard, however, I do have a park that we can let them ran around. Your pet won’t be lonely in our home we have a fur baby ourselves, Nigel (west highland terrier). I would look after your fur baby like my own, walks three to four times a day, fed as often as needed, play time, love and compassion. Your fur baby is apart your family and will be cared for that way.

The frequent updates and adorable photos were such a thoughtful touch and really put our minds at ease the whole time. We’re so grateful for the care, attention, and patience. Thank you for handling him with such kindness. We truly appreciate everything and will absolutely book again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
“One word for Melissa….Amazing. Now a few more words why. Melissa took such perfect care of our cat Toewz. He was so happy and she kept us in the loop while out of the country with so many adorable pics. Melissa is a sweetheart, caring, smart and professional. She knows how and without a doubt love your pet the way they deserve. She also has a wonderful and large home which is always a bonus. Thanks Melissa. Toewz or our dog Ozzy will see you again soon enough Dave”
“Stephanie was great! Very easy to communicate with (and flexible with our flight schedules for Drop off and pick up times) and we felt like Leo was being taken care of so well. Definitely eased our minds having Leo stay with her while we were gone. We also got so many cute pictures of him during his stay! We would definitely have her watch Leo again!”
“Amanda was a perfect host who we will definitely be going back to in the future! She provided updates and pictures throughout the stay, and even sent Ollie home with a doggie bag. Your doggo will be in great hands with Amanda and her daughter!”
“i would give 10 stars if i could! Thao took great care of our puppy and we’ve never seen our dog so happy while away from us. We got so many updates and even with the severe weather that occurred during our dogs stay, Thao ensured our dogs safety and comfort! We are extremely grateful for Thao’s expertise and support and would 100% trust her for another stay in the future!”
“It was a pleasure having Ace with Marta and family. She took great care and shared regular updates. Ace came home happy and that speaks for all the good things. We look forward to working with Marta sometime soon.”
“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!”
“Five very waggy stars for Meghan (and her sweet pup, Ralphie)! Meghan is absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that she is a true dog lover with tons of experience, and she knew exactly how to make our dog feel safe, happy, and completely at home. Our dog was treated like a member of her family and had the time of his life playing with Ralphie and the other dogs. The adorable photos and videos gave us so much peace of mind while we were away...and honestly, I think he was a little sad to come home, which is probably the highest compliment a dog can give. We will absolutely book again. Weekend at Ralphie’s is officially dog-approved!”
“Leigh & Richard watched our Boo for 10 days. They were great, sending texts and pictures to keep us up to date. Boo seemed very happy! Everything went well, and we will definitely have them take care of Boo again.”
“We love Lori and Mark. Our dog stayed with them two times now and was loved on the entire time. No worries on our end. We received updates while we were away and nothing but tail wags when we picked him up! We will definitely be a repeat customer and recommend them for your pups. 5 stars all the way!”
“Michelle was a great dog sitter!!! We did a meet and greet before to make sure the her dog and our dog meshed okay. That put me at ease going into our vacation. Also, it gave us some time to get to know each other. We got daily messages and pics that were fun to see. She has a fenced in yard and deck where the dogs like to pal around. Rosie seemed right at home at her house. Michelle is very communicative and very on top of your pups needs. I can tell she’s a true dog lover!”
“I am so happy that we found Erena! Her love of animals and constant stream of written updates and photos made us feel our pup was taken care of all weekend. Cooper had a wonderful time, made new friends and will be back with Lorena again!”
