“Hannah is an amazing full-time dog caregiver! She can handle anything and her schedule allows her to be super flexible with her clients. Our pup started an antibiotic 3 days before our trip, and she was able to take him, administer all the meds and keep him sequestered until he was no longer a health hazard. In addition, our flight was canceled and she kept C for an extra day at the same rate. We are confident in her abilities and her love for our dog.”

“This was Saga‘s second visit with Tom and Kelly. Once again, the experience was wonderful. They provided daily updates and lots of pictures. I recommend them highly and plan to use them again when I travel.”
“Our dog had a great time! The family and their dog were very friendly, and they will update you every day with cute pictures! They’re very accommodating and will do a first meet and greet for both of our dogs to get to know each other. They’re very attentive and really made our dog feel welcomed and relaxed. It was a great peace of mind. I highly recommend Cindy.”
“Ewa was an amazing sitter for my Basenji, he enjoyed his time very much while staying with her. I really liked the setup that enabled my dog to go in and out on his own when he needed to and she showered him with love and attention the entire stay. I will be contacting Ewa in the future.”
“We really appreciated Christina's professional and accommodating nature. Also I am no expert eventhough we have a dog. Christina seemed to be very in control and much needed with our little spoiled baby. Our diya's pictures looked as if she was quite happy and adjusted in Christina's home and I would strongly recommend Christina as well as would be happy to utilize her if we are traveling next time around. Thank you Christina for being really good with our Diya.”
“Prithvi cared for Bruno for about a week and the experience exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, Prithvi was communicative and attentive, keeping us regularly updated with messages and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear that Bruno was not only well looked after but also genuinely happy and comfortable in her care. I would highly recommend Prithvi to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate dog boarder. She truly treats your pet like her own.”
“D’artagnan took great care of Yeti for a fairly extended stay. I will be booking again with him! He was responsive to any requests or questions that I had and was proactive in sending pictures and updates of how my dog was doing. He even worked with her a little bit on leash pulling and we talked about what he had seen in other dogs that might help Yeti. Highly recommend!”
“This was Charlie's second visit with Vicki and he will be back. Vicki is an awesome care giver. She is easy to work with and provides great communication before, during and after the visits. The photos during the visit are very reassuring.”
“My dog Zoey stayed with Bob for five nights. He sent daily updates and and communicated well. I could tell Zoey had a blast from the pictures and videos he sent me. He even did some training work with her, and we are going to use him in the future!”
“Tatiana is the absolute best sitter we have worked with. She provided regular updates with pictures and videos and took excellent care of our two dogs. Tatyana showed them lots of attention and care. Will definitely be working again with Tatyana in the future!”
“Yamile is super nice and you can tell she likes pets. She took good care of my dog and cat. I also appreciated that her dog was very chill, even around my cat (they barely acknowledged each other!). Would book with her again.”
“Rhondarose and her family were wonderful! She was able to accommodate all three of my rascal pups. She has two dogs of her own who are very friendly and welcoming. Rhondarose is very communicative and attentive to the care of her guests. Prince, Suba Rue, Jasmine, and I want to thank you again for the love and care provided. Do not hesitate to book with Rhondarose!”
“Julia helped us with a last minute weekend stay for our senior dog. She sent daily pictures with updates about how he was doing. She’s had a senior dog herself and was familiar with his medicine and was able to give the pills without a problem. Her home had no stairs, which was perfect for our dog since he has arthritis. She lives in a beautiful, quiet, safe neighborhood with minimal traffic and sidewalks perfect for walks.”
“Michael took great care of Kiki again! This was the third time we have left Kiki with Michael in the last few months and every time he has done an excellent job keeping and caring for her. We always receive lots of photos of Kiki from him, which is great for our peace of mind. We will definitely be boarding Kiki with Michael again.”
“Our 1 year old puppy, Cali, had an amazing time here! She went on long walks, played outside and had fun with their dog, Bentley. She cannot wait time to go back again!”
“I highly recommend Olga for her pet sitting services. She took amazing care of our dog, Zoey. She played with her and took Zoey on a lot of walks (which she loves). Her communication was great- she sent daily video and photo updates which gave us peace of mind… Zoey looked like she was having the best time. We can’t wait to have Olga watch Zoey again!”
“Diana and her family were so wonderful to our puppy, Obi! I was so appreciative of the updates and pictures of our puppy since this was the first time we have ever used a dog sitter. Obi even seemed sad when we got home since he bonded so much with one of their dogs! We will for sure reach out to Diana whenever we are going to travel again. Thanks Diana!!”

“Wendy was great looking after both our cats. We had quite a few instructions along with cat door so one of our cats can eat in peace without the other trying to steal it. She was also attentive in noticing our morning wet food automatic feeder not going off.”
“Liz was the best and gave such detailed attention and care for my kitty who takes medication. It gave me great peace of mind knowing Nala was well taken care of while I was traveling far away in a different time zone. Highly recommend!”

Her reliability and attention to detail truly stood out—I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to others.”
“We couldn't be happier with Emily's cat sitting services. She went above and beyond in caring for our cats, sending frequent photo updates that gave us great peace of mind while we were away. What really impressed us was her attention to detail and genuine love for animals - she took time to play with our cats and even gave them daily brushing sessions, which they absolutely loved. Her thorough and caring approach made it clear our pets were in excellent hands. The regular updates and photos she sent showed our cats were happy, comfortable, and well-cared for throughout our absence. We highly recommend her services to any pet owner looking for a trustworthy and dedicated cat sitter.”
“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!”
“Hi Kayla, Thanks for caring for Pumpkin this week. We appreciate your prompt response and willingness to sit with her. She hasn't stopped talking about it, except when she's sleepy of course. Please feel free to drop the key off at your convenience. Steve and Jill”
“Luciana was fantastic! She came by on short notice to get acquainted with my two cats and my home before I had to leave unexpectedly for an emergency trip. Throughout my time away, she kept me updated on how my pets were doing and regularly sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Overall, I’m extremely happy with her care and professionalism, and I highly recommend her services.”
“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!”
“Melanie took wonderful care of Uno! She is reliable, dependable, responsible, and experienced. I felt completely at ease knowing Uno was in her care. She is trustworthy, caring, and kept me updated throughout. I highly recommend Melanie and will definitely book with her again!”
“Murphi w as well cared for by Angie. I never worry about her when she is in Angie's care. She is personable, respectful in our home and easy to work with. Definitely book with Angie. You won't regret it..”

I prefer not to kettle animals unless they need to be under the owners agreement.

“So happy to have found Marta. The Meet and Greet was great, it was comforting to know that Kenzie would be in an environment similar to home, which is exactly what I was looking for. I used Marta for daycare a few days and it was so sweet to receive updates and pics. I already rebooked Kenzie for boarding!”

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.”
“Christina, Nash, and the whole family were great hosts for Charlie! Christina provided a mid day update along with pictures and carved out time in her day for a 2-mile walk with the dogs. They all were very welcoming and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Christina and hope we will be back periodically for more visits.”

About: I love animals. I have loved, played with, nursed, and fed any kind of dog you an imagine. Im also comfortable around cats considering they tend be independent and communicative in their own way. I genuinely enjoy the process of training and nurturing animals. I have experience caring for newborn puppies and dogs with health issues as well as making natural and organic meals for dietary needs. I believe patience , affection, and repetition are the recipe to connecting with our all of our furry friends. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any additional questions. I work from home so pet care wouldn’t disrupt my routine at all. And I would be able to tend to a dog with special needs. I have a fenced in yard and personal fenced in patio off of my kitchen. It allows your buddy to get some fresh air in between walks and be secure
About: With a lifetime of caring for pets, I bring a strong understanding of animal behavior, routine management, and hands-on care. My experience includes administering basic medications, supporting senior pets, maintaining consistent feeding and exercise schedules, and creating a safe, comfortable environment for animals of all personalities. I’m confident, calm, and attentive—skills shaped by years of living with and caring for pets every day. We have a large, pet-friendly yard and home where there is always someone home to provide love, care for, play with, and entertain your pets. I have a large pet friendly fenced in yard for dogs to run and play supervised along our two friendly dogs. I also offer a comfortable environment for your pet to rest as needed.
“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!”

With a lifelong love and experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments, I understand the importance of ensuring your pup's comfort and happiness while you're apart. I have a very large back yard with a 6’ fence. I look forward to having your dog enjoy playing in it with my dog honey! As a dedicated high school teacher, my commitment to nurturing extends beyond the classroom to our four-legged friends.

Rest assured, with me as your dog sitter, your furry friend will receive the utmost care, attention, and love they deserve. Let's ensure your furry friend has a tail-wagging good time while you're away! I am a high school teacher so my summer months are completely available and I do also work very part time at the Lego Store. I always ensure your pet is safe the whole time, whether it be on walks or playing in your yard. I will take the time to build a relationship with your pet and follow all suggestions and rules you set.
“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!”
“Michael took such good care of my dog Jordan. Jordan has a few health issues and Michael was able to administer his medication on time. He also sent me pictures and updates during the day. Jordan loved his stay with Michael and his family. Would definitely have him stay again in the future Thank you Michael!”

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: 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.
“Karina was delightful to meet and she did a great job with our two dogs. She went the extra mile for us by doing it all on a short notice. We really appreciated her being available to lend a walking foot so we could go to Chicago for the day.”
“Cathy is incredible! Right from the start, she offered to come meet my dog ahead of time and as soon as she walked in I knew she would be a great fit. She took the time to play with him, pet him, and let him get to know her. As a result, when she arrived to pick him up for his walk, he was happy to see her! This extra care to getting to know my dog (and letting him get to know her!) is so appreciated - especially since I have had other walkers give up on him. I would recommend Cathy to anyone who is looking for a caring and compassionate sitter or walker.”
About: I am a person that loves all animals. Some pet parents will leave a small list of the schedule I need to follow. Whenever I come to hang with the cuties I’m always snapping pics and sending them to the pet parents. Just so everyone knows they are in good hands. Whatever it is that y’all need me to do I make sure to get the job done. Sometimes when I babysit if the parents need me to let the dogs out and feed them then I do it. So cats/dogs will get fed and taken out, we will play ball and have a load of fun. I promise I don’t bite and am very easy to talk to. If anyone ever has any questions feel free to ask!
“Jenny is the best! She goes above and beyond to take care of our pup, and he is always so excited to see her. We love knowing he is in the best hands. She also updates us on how he did with his walks!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have 8 years of experience as a dog owner and 2 years of experience as a cat owner. I also worked at Petco during college, where I gained valuable knowledge about pet care, behavior, and the unique needs of different animals. In addition to pet sitting, I am currently going back to school to be an teacher and work as a substitute teacher, which reflects my responsible, patient, and dependable nature. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own. Whether it's walks, playtime, or feeding, I'm committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care while you're away. I am currently going back to school to be an elementary school teacher through an online program, and I work as substitute teacher. With the kids on summer break, my summer is wide open! In your home, I will follow your rules to a TEE. My dog is the type of dog that if he got outside of our fence, then he would sprint away, and my cat is the type of cat that if she were to get outside, she would also sprint away. I know how serious it is to care for dogs and cats, and I will treat your pets just as if they were my own: they will get their meals, their bathroom breaks, their walks, and their play time, just as you request.
“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.”

I pay close attention to the pup and will follow your care directions exactly how you would like!
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!
“Lindsay has been invaluable walking my pup. She met her in advance, asked questions to best meet her needs, and showed up and provided updates of all of my dogs walks. I would highly recommend her to anyone and look forward to having her walk my dog again in the future.”

“Hannah is an amazing full-time dog caregiver! She can handle anything and her schedule allows her to be super flexible with her clients. Our pup started an antibiotic 3 days before our trip, and she was able to take him, administer all the meds and keep him sequestered until he was no longer a health hazard. In addition, our flight was canceled and she kept C for an extra day at the same rate. We are confident in her abilities and her love for our dog.”
“This was Saga‘s second visit with Tom and Kelly. Once again, the experience was wonderful. They provided daily updates and lots of pictures. I recommend them highly and plan to use them again when I travel.”
“Our dog had a great time! The family and their dog were very friendly, and they will update you every day with cute pictures! They’re very accommodating and will do a first meet and greet for both of our dogs to get to know each other. They’re very attentive and really made our dog feel welcomed and relaxed. It was a great peace of mind. I highly recommend Cindy.”
“Prithvi cared for Bruno for about a week and the experience exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, Prithvi was communicative and attentive, keeping us regularly updated with messages and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear that Bruno was not only well looked after but also genuinely happy and comfortable in her care. I would highly recommend Prithvi to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate dog boarder. She truly treats your pet like her own.”
“D’artagnan took great care of Yeti for a fairly extended stay. I will be booking again with him! He was responsive to any requests or questions that I had and was proactive in sending pictures and updates of how my dog was doing. He even worked with her a little bit on leash pulling and we talked about what he had seen in other dogs that might help Yeti. Highly recommend!”
“My dog Zoey stayed with Bob for five nights. He sent daily updates and and communicated well. I could tell Zoey had a blast from the pictures and videos he sent me. He even did some training work with her, and we are going to use him in the future!”
“Yamile is super nice and you can tell she likes pets. She took good care of my dog and cat. I also appreciated that her dog was very chill, even around my cat (they barely acknowledged each other!). Would book with her again.”
“Rhondarose and her family were wonderful! She was able to accommodate all three of my rascal pups. She has two dogs of her own who are very friendly and welcoming. Rhondarose is very communicative and attentive to the care of her guests. Prince, Suba Rue, Jasmine, and I want to thank you again for the love and care provided. Do not hesitate to book with Rhondarose!”
“Our 1 year old puppy, Cali, had an amazing time here! She went on long walks, played outside and had fun with their dog, Bentley. She cannot wait time to go back again!”
“Stephanie and Kevin were amazing! From setting up a meet and greet (to ease my 'new to Rover' worries) to accommodating my delayed flight schedule. They truly are fond of our furry friends and it shows. I got pictures everyday and it was clear that Coco was in her element.”
“We had a great experience with Meghan! Freddy was happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands and would happily book again.”
“Amanda just recently joined Rover as a dog sitter, so there weren’t yet any reviews to look over. However, based on her profile and especially meeting her and her daughter, I was very comfortable leaving Ollie in their care for a week. Ollie was well taken care of, and I received updates with pictures daily. He enjoyed his time there and being around her two smaller dogs. They are very nice/friendly and even sent Ollie home with a with a personalized goody bag with his name on it. That was a nice touch well above what was expected. I will definitely use them again.”
“Christine took excellent care of our sweet pup, Flora. We needed her help for 16 days while we were on a vacation, and she was so helpful, kind, and thoughtful. We appreciated the photos and quick responses to asks, questions, and concerns. We were able to drop off when needed and pick up on our own schedule. Christine made leaving our girl much easier. Thank you for making Flora feel at home.”
“This was my dogs first time thing with Kyle. During our initial meeting, Kyle was very kind and has a nice dog friendly apartment. I didn’t feel any worry about if my dog was going to be well taken care of. During my dog’s stay, Kyle kept me up-to-date with daily pictures and feedback on their activity for that day. Kyle is very interactive and I would highly recommend him even if you have a high energy dog like mine!”
“Kaylee was super great!! Edy loved staying there and got tons of energy and excitement out too! We got tons of pictures from her overnight and lots of updates. Our dog came home super happy and tired!”
“Maria was the best Rover I could have asked for for a first timer! She met up with me before my dogs stay, answered all my questions, and was super flexible and accommodating with pick up and drop off. She also sent me tons of photos and videos during his stay, I could tell he was having a great time and didn’t worry about him at all! I’ll definitely be using Maria’s services again in the future for my little guy!”
“From the first moment our dog Gali stepped into Mark and Lorie’s house she seemed very comfortable. Gali stayed at their house for two weeks and Lorie made sure to send me updates and pictures. Gali looked happy which put me at ease. After picking up Gali we found her in good health and cheerful as usual. She seemed to have a great time. Thanks for everything!”
