“Kimberly took care of my dog for a week and was fantastic. She was very responsive and sent lots of photos and updates throughout the stay. My dog looked happy and comfortable the entire time. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave. I’d happily have her watch him again.”

“Maria was the best and took care of baby boy. I felt at peace and enjoyed my vacation knowing he was in good hands. She provided photos and videos. I will definitely book again.”

“It was a pleasure having tanqueray look after my baby Mya . She kept me updated with Mya and took such great care of Mya . Mya has never been away from home before so I was a bit iffy at first but tanqueray made me feel so much more calm and relaxed. Definitely will be booking with her next week”


“Angelica was great. My dogs had only been boarded at their vet before but I wanted to try leaving them with someone. Angelica was so caring and sent me pics throughout their stay. I will definitely use her again in the future.”

“This is the 2nd time we’ve used Eniya - she is very responsive and kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout my dog’s stay at her house. Also took him for walks even though it was soooo cold! 🥶 Will definitely call her again!”

“Jasmine was amazing to work with. We have an elderly dog who needs gentle care and Jasmine definitely provided that. We received frequent updates and pictures which put us at ease knowing our dog was having a great time and in caring hands. We highly recommend Jasmine for your pet care needs!”

“So, I know she was awesome because I was waiting for my puppies/babies to be super excited and uncontrollable when they saw me and NOPE they were cool calm and collected because they really liked Jan. They felt at home with her and not sure what she did, but they are definitely more chill. I will only use Jan going forward if she'll have us because she's also reasonable price wise.”

“Bailey is a dog whisperer. She took care of our poodle mix over the holiday and was extremely communicative and sent pics and videos/ so that we knew he was in good hands. She is so sweet and has a genuine understanding and love for dogs. Highly recommend! !”

“Mike and Joanna were absolutely amazing! I needed last-minute care for my dog, and they responded almost instantly. From the start, they were friendly, professional, and incredibly accommodating. They took such great care of my dog and made the whole experience completely stress-free for me. It was clear that my dog was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. What really surprised me was that they even sent my dog home with free gifts — such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture, especially for such a short stay! I can’t recommend Mike and Joanna enough. If I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would. Thank you both for going above and beyond!”

“Rob again is an outstanding sitter. He goes above and beyond. Plays with Nova daily and gives her so much love and care. I’m in a situation where is travel and he has taken on keeping her as I find her a new forever home.”

“Shirley is fantastic with both our dog (medium size hound mix) and cat. Our dog gets so excited when she realizes she is going to stay with Shirley. Very responsive and responsible and communicates well with pics every day. We never worry about their wellbeing while in Shirley’s care.”

“Lorraine was awesome, It was like I left Chestnut at home she was very tentative to Chestnut he enjoyed her she sent pictures every day. Lorraine was excellent I had no worries about Chestnut while he was in her care I recommend Lorraine she will take excellent care of your pet. Chestnut can’t wait to visit again”

“Katherine and her partner did a wonderful job taking care of my Aegon and I'd be delighted to have him stay there again! Cuddles and trips to the dog park, frequent communication and even a stuffy that my pup loved while he was there to take home! A great relief to have my boy cared for while I was away.”

“Randall was having stomach issues before being dropped off to Angel. He kept me updated and gave great care. Happiest dog ever after Angel watches him.”

“Everything went very well. Lucy seemed happy and well taken care of. Malchom, Nicole and kids do a great job letting Lucy be part of the family. I’m sure Lucy enjoys being with the children. Would definitely keep using their services.”

“OMG!!! Connie was the best -mom away from home- I could ask for!!! Juiji and Jojo were so cute. Connie made sure Juiji was comfortable and that I was sure she was safe, behaving, and co-mingling. Her photos of Juiji should be in a doggy magazine! I could not have asked for a better -mom away from home- and she's the best and she's around the corner from me. So grateful for her!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND CONNIE?♥️??”

“Obi seemed to really enjoy his stay with Brian! Obi is sensitive, so he will get sick from separation anxiety after I pick him up from a stay or he will be very clingy. He’s been completely normal since I’ve picked him up and he is doing perfectly fine! Brian provided me updates daily that eased my own separation anxiety. Thank you, Brian!”

“Julia was absolutely wonderful. I had to adjust Luna’s boarding reservation with her several times due to changes in my work schedule, and she was consistently communicative and very understanding of my situation. During Luna’s stay, she kept me well updated and showed genuine care for her. I always knew Luna was in very good hands and well taken care of. I will definitely be booking with her again whenever Luna needs boarding.”

“Melanie was truly the best cat sitter I could have asked for. It is clear she is an animal lover and so conscientious about their care. My cats were very happy when I came home. Melanie also dealt with a debacle with my keys and was flexible in making other arrangements to make sure she could see my cats. Thank you, Melanie!”


“Samantha was great with the cats. They let her pet them the first time she met them. She was very understanding of the complex situation I was in to have someone watch my daughter's cats.”

“I can't say enough great things about Jacqui! They went above and beyond while checking on my dog, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pup was in such good hands. Not only did they make sure all the basics were covered—food, water, bathroom breaks, but they also took the time to give my dog some love, playtime, and attention, which made all the difference. I got regular updates (including some adorable photos!), and I could tell my dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It’s clear that Jacqui truly loves animals and treats them like their own. Reliable, kind, and completely trustworthy. I'd recommend Jacqui to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry family members. Thank you so much for everything!”

“Megan was great with my cat and went above and beyond in every way. Communication was excellent throughout my trip, and I came home to find everything in perfect order. She clearly takes her job seriously and genuinely cares about the animals in her care. Highly recommend her and wouldn't hesitate to book again.”


“Marisa was amazing as always! She always send pics of our 2 kitties, which we absolutely love. She even was kind enough to watch our cats for a last minute booking over the holidays when we had an unexpected change of plans. She consistently communicates with us and we feel safe leaving our cats in her care!”


“I would highly recommend April! She took care of my cat for a week at my place while I was out of town. My cat Howie immediately liked her (like, leaped out of his tree to run and greet her) and I knew he was in good hands. I especially appreciated how flexible she was when my apartment building threw several curve balls at her. I would definitely book with her again.”


“She is a perfect sitter. My cat definitely enjoyed spending time with her, and she made sure that he was doing well and cleaned up the mess. Amazing sitter and would 100% recommend!!!”


“Sofia was the best with our cats! She was very personable which helped me feel much more comfortable leaving my cats too. She responded and gave updates right away and both of my cats are very happy :)”


“Liliia took great care of my cat. She was very responsive and sent me daily updates. She also picked her up and dropped her off at my home which made my life infinitely easier! Would highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, including a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Pitbull mix, so I’m very comfortable with both large and high-energy breeds. I also have experiences with extended stay puppy sitting where I managed feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and creating a calm, structured environment. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are, especially with puppies. I’m currently preparing to welcome a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very intentional about creating safe, positive experiences for dogs. I work Monday through Friday but my partner is currently home all day, so someone will always be there to care for your dog! We are open to boarding any night. Walks I am primarily available after work or sometimes the morning before. My partner is currently available most anytime! We are both reliable and detail oriented. We are prepping to bring in our very own golden retriever puppy, so will treat your dog as if they are our own! As mentioned above I work Mon-Friday roughy 8-4. My partner is currently home throughout the day so someone will always be there to care for your dog. We are open to boarding almost any day especially weekends where we are both home. Walks and drop ins work best for me before work hours or after but my partner has open availability so between us we can accommodate to you! Feel free to ask if you have any specific availability questions! :) Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and am very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and safety during walks and care. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing a safe and positive experience. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always feel confident and connected while your dog is in my care.

About: I’ve had cats in my life forever. I raised my first cat from age 10 through marriage. I’m currently bonded to an 18 year old Balinese. I understand cats need their own routine, space, and quiet time, and I’m happy to give them exactly that while you’re away.

“We've used Yulissa twice and she's great with communication and always takes great care of our kitty. Will definitely continue to contact her in the future. Thanks Yulissa!”


“Matthew provided exceptional care for my cat during our time away! His communication was consistent with daily photos and updates. We returned home to a calm, happy cat - I would absolutely book with Matthew again!”


“All 3 of my cats were happy and well cared for when I got back. She is prompt, thorough and kind. My shy cat was friendly with her immediately which never happens. Absolutely recommend and will book again.”


About: I have had 2 cats my whole life. One only has 3 legs and the other is a senior. I have helped take care of them since I was little. I prioritize their comfort daily, whether that is lifting them up when they are tired or always making sure they have company.

“My dog Coco had a wonderful time with Emily and Amy and their dog, Pepperoni 🌶. I would certainly recommend Emily to anyone needing doggy day care. And I will certainly bring Coco again.”

“My Shih Tzu, Coco had his first visit with Erica and her family. He was very excited to meet them and he had a great time. I got photos that reassured me he was happy and didn't seem to show any of the separation anxiety he has had. I'm happy to recommend Erica and Ricardo to all and I am definitely adding them to my list of fave Rover people.”

About: I’ve owned dogs most of my life and consistently for the past 11 years — small or large, puppy or senior, I love them all. My own pets thrive on routine, so your dog will get consistent walks, feeding times, and plenty of attention while you’re away. I currently share my home with a pug and an 18-year-old cat, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and energy levels. Pug mom + cat whisperer offering a loving, low-key place to stay I work from home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches — they’ll get plenty of company, attention, and bathroom/play breaks built right into my day. Pet care isn’t an interruption to my routine, it’s part of it. Your dog will get long walks through my beautiful neighborhood, plus supervised outdoor time tethered out front alongside my pug (my yard is unfenced, so all outdoor time is supervised). I’m happy to crate your pet if you provide one, and I’ll keep them on whatever feeding and routine schedule they’re used to at home.
“Jenny was great! My dog has anxiety and she made her feel comfortable and took care of her with walks and was careful to avoid the other neighborhood dogs as requested. Will definitely use Jenny’s services in the future.”


“Diana was thoughtful and caring! I really appreciated her ease with my dog. She also helped me with my “separation anxiety “ by sending pics of my dog playing and on walks. Diana was flexible with my schedule and was okay with me picking up my dog past 10 pm. That was really helpful to me! Overall great experience! Highly recommend.”

“Rhae was very responsive, kept me updated during my dogs' stay, my dogs seemed happy! She took the time to walk them a few times while they were there just for the day. Very easy to work with, definitely recommend.”

“Robert was very welcoming, patient, and helpful for both me and my dog, Maya, as this was our first booking ever! He took his time to let her get comfortable and introduce her with the other pups he had in house. Allowed me to be just as comfortable leaving her for the day! Came back to pick up one happy and VERY tuckered out pup! Loved the pictures! Looked like we both had a great experience booking with Robert!🐶 We will be scheduling again soon!”

“Sasha is great! I have an unpredictable work schedule that she was totally willing to accommodate. She has a great personality and is a good pack leader for the dogs. Her house is an inviting environment with a nice backyard for the pups to run around in.”

About: I love animals and am passionate about giving them good, healthy lives. I have experience and am trained to work with animals, temper aggressive breeds, and administer medication if needed. I am active and have no problem with long or frequent walks. I work from home, so no animal will ever be left unattended in my care. I don't mind pets on the furniture and I have a wide open living room space for play time. Everything is per your instruction, just let me know any accommodations I can make and Ill have them arranged for your pup! Pet care is a daily part of my routine.

I also dont mind pets on the furniture while boarding, but it is all up to the parents instruction

About: Hi! I'm a lifetime dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities via family and friends. Whether your pup is a laid-back snore snuggler or a high-energy adventurer, I'll make sure they're happy, safe, and well loved while you're away. I am currently working towards my goal of opening an animal shelter, so being able to watch your babies is very much an honor & I am grateful for the opportunity to care for all kinds of dogs. Thank you for being a part of my future! I work from home, so I’m all pups all day(I wish). I have a dog so pet care is a daily part of my routine. I like to keep my guests on the routine they are used to, in order to make their stay as easy as possible. I live in a very green area with quite a few parks nearby to make sure your baby has plenty outside time. I am well versed in dog behavior & body language & am comfortable caring for pups of all personalities. I take the care of your dog as seriously as I do my own. I understand how anxiety inducing it can be to leave your pup with a stranger, so I want to make sure they are safe & comfortable, & you have peace of mind.

“Fanni is wonderful and I felt at ease when Chomper was in her care. She is communicative, responsible, and even braved walking up 13 flights of stairs when the elevator in my building was out. I am so appreciative of her time and would highly recommend her for any pet care needs!”

“Ya Lun is great!! She is very communicative, reliable, and great with dogs. Our pup is sometimes nervous with new people but Ya Lun befriended her very quickly. She took great care of our girl and sent lots of updates and photos on their walks. She was also careful to keep our dog cool and hydrated on the hot summer days. Highly recommend!!”

“Jacqui was an excellent dog walker. She was accommodating on short notice, very communicative, and punctual. My pup got along with her well and he seemed to enjoy the walk! Will definitely be using Jacqui to walk my dog in the future.”

About: Ready to work hard and safe to take good care of your four-legged best friend! At your service for walks, sitting, driving to appointments, and any other basic pet care! I've been hired my neighbors, relatives, and family friends before to house sit/ pet sit. I think it's important to be careful and respectful at all times, to report any issues immediately, and treat the pet with the kindness and fun they usually receive from their owner! My family has previously kept a dog, geckos, a chameleon, fish, a rabbit,and a bird. My hobbies include chess, bowling, music and concerts, hiking and running. I'm located in the near-west suburbs but I have my own car so I'm happy to go anywhere around Chicagoland! Take care! currently working a flex position at Camp McKean for community and outdoor recreation. off all day on Sundays Mondays and Tuesdays. Rest of the week I could dog sit before or after work. Early morning or evening. I will always top off a pet's water bowl, take an inventory of supplies like poop bags, toys, where food is, etc. with Rover gigs before I've taken pictures and videos for the client to let them know how everything's going 😀
“Stacy has been walking my dog Mavis for over a month now. She is a great communicator, prompt, follows instructions great! And she just loves my dog :) I know my baby is in good hands when she comes over for walks.”

“Mara was fantastic! She drove out to me for a meet and greet with my pup before I went out of town so we could get him warmed up to her. Even though he was iffy at first, Mara worked to get Cody comfy with her during the 5 days she walked him when he stayed at my mom’s house. Mara was very communicative, kind, and always on time. Thanks so much Mara!”


“Maria was very nice and did great with our sometimes-high-strung dog. He liked her immediately and was happy to go for a walk with her even though he sometimes has separation anxiety. We're planning to book with her again.”

“We have been using Jacob for the past few months and he is very reliable. He is responsive and shows up on short notice if we are in a jam. Our dog seems happy when we get home and we always get a photo of their time together. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I’ve been on Rover for the past 6 years and I have also had personal experience with taking care of dogs for about ten years. I have made house visits to my neighbors to care for their dogs while they were away and my family also has a dog of that I have taken care of for the past 12 years. I have always been an animal lover and I love to help in whatever ways that I can. Being able to combine my love for animals with my love for helping people by caring for their pets seems like the perfect part-time job to me. I’ve lived in Oak Park for a few years now so I’ve gotten to know the area well and I love getting to meet all the different animals around! (P.S. I’ll also take great pictures of your pets to send while you’re away) I am available full-time during the week and weekends and I have a pup of my own who would love to make some new friends in the area! I live in an apartment with a lot of parks nearby that I would plan on taking your pet. I have a very friendly pup of my own that loves to play as well.
About: I have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. I am especially comfortable with high-energy dogs and anxious dogs. I trained my family’s dogs many basic skills and have practice administering medications. I love all animals and would be honored to take care of yours! I’m currently in graduate school, looking for a part-time job; and would love to help take care of your pets! My current schedule is open for any day of the week, anytime. I am happy to feed, walk, crate, or simply play with your dog or cat! I am quite flexible and have stubborn dogs of my own, so I know all the tricks of getting pups to do what you need them to do.
“We love Hillary. I am able to walk Charlie myself now but as we (Charlie and I) would miss Hillary terribly, we decided to ask her to walk Charlie two days a week. Luckily, she accepted. See? That's how wonderful she is to us.”


About: I’ve taken care of my own Goldendoodle for over 7 years, training him, teaching him tricks, and matching his energy with enthusiasm and attention! I’m currently working a remote internship, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, personalized care for your dog. Aside from a few brief meetings throughout the day, I’m free to spend my time keeping your pup company and making sure they feel safe and loved. I’m available for daytime visits, overnight stays, weekends, and extended care whenever needed. My goal is to make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, affection, and individualized care while you’re away, so you can have complete peace of mind. While I’m not able to board dogs in my own home, I love providing attentive care in their own home, the place they’re most comfortable. Staying in a familiar environment helps many dogs feel more relaxed, and I make it a priority to maintain their usual routine and give them plenty of companionship while you’re away. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important the little things are: keeping up with mealtimes, making time for play and exercise, knowing when it’s time to rest, and giving every dog the patience and affection they deserve. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for until you’re back home. I live a very active lifestyle, so I’m always happy to match your dog’s exercise needs—whether that’s long walks, outdoor adventures, or lots of playtime. While I’m not able to board pets in my own home, I’m more than happy to care for them where they’re most comfortable: in their own home and routine.
“Marissa is wonderful. She really helped us out by walking our dog while I was out of town. She was very flexible with scheduling when things changed. She was also very patient, taking time for our dog to warm up to her. Will absolutely use her again.”

“Jamie was awesome with our dog! She’s extremely detail oriented, conscientious, timely and really oriented around his well being. We’d love to have her help again in the future!”

About: Hi! I'm Eloise, I've grown up around animals since I was a baby. My grandmas always had cats and dogs (poodles especially lol) and I spent lots of time with their pets and cared for them when they were away. I have had my own cat since I was 7 and at 15 my family got our first dog who has since passed. We now have one dog, Twiggy and the same cat who is still kicking! So, I have lifelong experience in loving, responsible, and attentive pet care. I also frequently care for friends, neighbors, and other clients dogs and cats. I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes and personalities! I also have experience with caring for animals with specific health needs, giving them medicine, etc. My cousin is a vet and I have learned a lot from her! I would love to be a sitter or walker or just a buddy for your pet and I will always treat every pet I care for like my own, with so much love!!! I am currently home for the summer from college so I have a very open schedule! I can be there for your pet whenever needed and am happy to work with you in terms of scheduling to meet your needs! When sitting in someone else's home I always respect the space I am in and keep it the way I found it - I am a very clean and organized person! I of course will respect any home rules or expectations and I make an effort to discuss these prior to care to make sure that everyone is comfortable. I am also more than happy to send pics or even facetime if you miss your pets while you are away and want to be assured that they are happy and healthy <3

About: I am a huge animal person. I have had 2 cats and 2 dogs my whole life. They are all at different stages of life, one of my dogs and both of my cats being either senior citizens or leg- amputees. I have a very large, young, and energetic dog as well. I can take of pets at any age or with disabilities, and I love them all! I love to help animals. I’m currently home for the Summer without a full time job so my schedule is very open! I am pretty much open any day or any time needed! I love to play with dogs or cats and I want them to feel safe at all times! I can do whatever they may need on potty breaks or visits, and walks as well. I am very attentive on walks and such because I have a big dog who is quiet the puller on walks, so I am used to it!
About: I love dogs. I regularly foster dogs from the humane society and I have experience taking care of old and sick dogs as well as puppies. I live in Hawaii 9 months of the year, so I am not always on Rover, but I do keep my calendar updated and love to watch dogs while I'm here and my boyfriend is working full time I always wake up early to feed my dogs, I am not working full time, and I love to play and interact with dogs all day, and also to take them on walks. Some days that's my only exercise honestly! Lol We love to go on walks. My neighborhood is great for dog walking. My home is very dog friendly with lots of different sleeping possibilities for pets. I have separate areas for feeding dogs so no one is competing for food.

We also really appreciated that Charise dropped Zoe off at home for us. Highly recommend Charise if you are looking for someone caring, reliable, and attentive to watch your fur baby!”

“Sophia and Andy are a dream team! This was my first Rover experience, though my sisters have been hosts for many years. Sophia and Andy took such great care of my dog, and sent thoughtful updates and pictures every day. Will definitely use them again.”

About: Hi, I’m Haley, my dog skipper and I work from home. I have the space and would love to host dogs in our home. Skipper is a huge fan of sleepovers and I love all dogs! I work from home so aside from meetings (occasionally offsite) I’m typically home and have a big yard for dogs to enjoy! I also love to take walks and trip to the park if the dog enjoys it! Any dog in my house becomes a member of the family, they’re allowed to sleep in bed with me or lounge on the furniture. I have a huge fenced in yard for them to roam in and provide frequent walks for exercise.
“Thank you Ian for being so caring and understanding with our lovely dogs. We appreciate your kindness patience and care. We knew they were in good hands and really loved all the pictures! We could tell they were comfortable. Thank you again.”

“Emily was very responsive and kept me up to date on how things were going with lots of pics/videos. It’s our second time booking and feel very confident our dog feels comfortable/safe with her!”

“Elizabeth was so responsive, kind, and treated my dog as if it were her own. She sent me lots of photos and updates throughout the stay. Her kids were super gentle with my timid dog and I could tell that the entire family went out of their way to make my dog feel at home. Would definitely book again!”
