“This whole experience has been just amazing. From the constant reassurance of videos and texts to the undeniable love for dogs is what made us so happy with the care we received for Milo. We were a little wary leaving our little guy for a couple of days, but we’re very surprised to learn he was having a better time there than he was at home. He made a lot of little friends and received so much love. Will definitely be booking again in the future!!!!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Angelica! My shih tzu is a nervous boy with special needs and Angelica was so wonderful to him. She took expert care of his eye (he needs one cleaned a certain way) and was so good to him when an unexpected thunderstorm rolled through on one of the nights he was staying with her (he absolutely hates thunder). Her home is set up perfectly for dogs, too. I can’t possibly recommend her enough!”
“Penny had an excellent time with Rob and I will definitely book him again!! He sent me updates and pictures the whole time I was gone, which I appreciated. I wasn’t worried at all because she was left in amazing hands and I had the chance to meet with Rob before sending her over. 10/10 experience.”
“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.”
“Jan is so loving and attentive. I’m going to book her a third time. She does more than most and goes above and beyond with your little fur baby. She loves animals and it shows. You never have to worry about your fur baby when they are in her care.”
“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”
“Shirley was absolutely amazing with our older pup! He had an amazing time. Shirley went above and beyond to make sure our pups needs were met and that he was happy. She sent pictures and videos and gave us updates regularly. Shirley was the best! Would use her again and would definitely recommend her to others!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Kimberly’s care for our dog, A.J.! She watched him for three weeks and did a fantastic job. Kimberly kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. A.J. was clearly very happy and comfortable with her, and it’s obvious she truly cares for the dogs she looks after. She was also wonderfully flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which made the whole process so much easier. We highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter!”
“Eniya is such a great sitter for my dog! He always comes back happy and looks forward to seeing her when she arrives. Eniya is calming for him which is what he needs and she checks in with me daily giving updates on how he is doing in her care! She’s trustworthy and dependable! I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Great experience! Jenny was very responsive and communicated frequently. I like that she only watches one dog at a time so our pup got her full attention. Bailey was well cared for during her stay and enjoyed her time with Jenny! Highly recommend and we would book again!”
“Julia was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Sammie. Sammie is very shy and can take time to warm up to new people, but Julia was so patient, understanding, and gentle with her. She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos where I could easily see how comfortable and happy Sammie was in her care. It’s clear Julia truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. I felt completely at ease while I was away and would trust her to watch Sammie again in a heartbeat!”
“First timer to book through Rover and it was a smashing success! Juliet seemed well cared for and entertained while her family left her for a long weekend. I would definitely book with John again. I think that Juliet got to hang with another dog put her at ease in a new home. And loved that we received periodic photos of her enjoying her vacation. Thank you!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Ruben took my Anubis on such short notice and if I could give him 10 stars I would. He was very communicative and consistent with updates/pictures. While away on a long business trip, every time I worried I was able to simply check my phone for peace of mind. So glad we chose Ruben and I will be using him again in the future.”
“Angel was responsive and super flexible to work with. We had a last minute schedule change and he was really accommodating. Our dog came back super happy!”
“Diana and Scott did a great job watching our dog Chalupa. They sat her for a week, and it was clear Chalupa was well cared for and got lots of attention. Would definitely recommend Diana and Scott to others!”
“Had a great experience! Flexible and still always on time with any changes. They also had amazing energy and you can tell they loved having Cypress and other dogs over. Would definitely reach out in the future”

“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.”
“Marissa is great!! My cats love her and she takes great care of my boys!! She’s very reliable and communicative, and she takes phenomenal pictures of my cats 😄😄”
“Megan was so communicative and lovely with our 2 cats! She handled medication no problem, and even stayed longer the first visit to ensure that the cat who needed medication would be comfortable enough with her to take his meds no problem. We're so grateful for the good care Megan took and will absolutely rebook with her in the future.”
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.
“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!”
“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!”
About: I LOVE puppies, especially cute ones... I have lived with dogs for my entire life. Everything from labs, adopted mutts, terriers, poodles, goldendoodles, big, medium, and small. I have yet to meet a breed that I can't whisper to. While my profile on Rover is new, I have been sitting and housesitting dogs on the side for years, for neighbors in the area and a small network of family friends I've kept up since I began my undergrad at UIC. I also love running. If you have an active dog that needs extra exercise, I'd be happy to take them along. Just let me know. Please note: To ensure the absolute best and safest care for your pup, I do require a quick Meet & Greet before accepting any first-time bookings Looking forward to hearing from you. I am currently in summer school at UIC, and will be in class from 8am to noon on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so your dog would be alone for about 4 hours on those days. Before I leave, they will get a good walk, and when I'm back they'll spend the rest of the day with me doing homework, tutoring, or getting outside for a walk or run. I always treat every dog like my own. I make sure they are secure, comfortable, get all the pets and treats they need, and are never alone longer than necessary. You will also receive daily updates along the way, so you'll always know how they're doing.
“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!”
“Kelly did a fantastic job watching my two six month old kittens. She went above and beyond and cleaned the litter box each day without being asked. My kitties were very happen when I got home, and I know they loved Kelly. She sent lots of photos of them while I was away which put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend using Kelly as your sitter! I will be booking her again in the future! Thanks Kelly!”
“Jamie is a super star at our house. She watched my old cat for a few days and he instantly felt comfortable around her. I’m definitely booking her services again, and you should too!”
“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’ve often been told I’m a bit of a “dog whisperer” because pups seem to gravitate toward me, and I think it’s because they can sense my genuine love for animals. I’ve been a dog lover since childhood, growing up with 4 family dogs, and that passion has only grown over the years. I recently cared for my own senior pomeranian, who lived to 18, so I understand the patience, gentleness, and extra attention that senior pups need. On the other end of the spectrum, I know the energy and consistency it takes to care for playful puppies. Right now, I share my home with two spoiled rescue dogs, Chico (chihuahua) and Squeaks (tripod Pomeranian) who remind me daily how much joy and comfort pets bring into our lives and family. I have taught my dogs how to sit, stay, down, shake, come, and spin. So maybe I can even teach your dog some new tricks :) I also know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member at home. My goal is to be their bright spot while you’re away, whether that’s a walk, a potty break, or simply some kisses, belly rubs, and companionship. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own! I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule to fit in drop-ins, potty breaks, quick walks (10-15) min, kisses and belly rubs during the day while you are away! Right now I only offer drop-ins, potty breaks, and quick walks for your furry babies. I do not offer any home services at my personal residence. If any service is requested outside of the normal services offered, I would be happy to help and discuss prior to my drop-in visit.

“Thank you for having Addison over for a play date! Emily was easy to communicate with, accommodating to my schedule and send frequent status updates! Addison took a post play day nap within 10 mins of being home!”
“Our pup loves going to Erica and Ricardo’s for daycare. She’s an anxious girl, but she gets so excited when we pull up and runs into the house as soon as we get there. She gets lots of playtime and love, and we get cute pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend them!”
“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.”
About: I am at home full time so I am available to always keep a close watch of your dog, take your dog outside a numerous of times. I have been sitting dogs for about 4 years now. I have experience breeding and raising chows (which is a very hard breed to raise especially for first time dog owners). There is a dog park right across the street from my home your dog would love. And around the perimeter of the dog park is a dog path. I normally walk the dogs around the dog path and then play fetch and some other games in the park. I have a gated backyard so they are allow to play back there as well. I am close to a Walgreens and across the street from a pet store so if they need anything I have easy access to that.

“Marissa was great! We feel very lucky to have found her to hang out with our two dogs for the day. Her house was perfectly well suited to host our dogs and it seems they had a good day :)”
“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!”
“Very personable, inviting, and understanding. The house is clean, organized, and very dog-friendly! I appreciate Samuel taking care of Haku on such short notice as I was needed at work. He’s a great guy!”
“Ruben is the best! Our puppies Frankie and Kevin loved spending the day at his place. It had been a few weeks since Kevin last stayed with Ruben and he was so happy to see him! Frankie is a newer addition to our family and she’s a rescue - she’s been through some trauma and has separation anxiety but Ruben made her very comfortable. He is always so responsive, flexible, accommodating and a great host to our pups. He’s great about sending picture updates too! Highly recommend Ruben!”
About: I've been taking care of pets since I was little. My family used to live in a house and we had 3 cats and one big dog. When I was studing at uni, I got a dog. She is a beagle and she is 10 years old. She is living with my parents now. I know how to take care of pets because I'm experiences, attentive and patient person. I'm working from home as a tutor. I have plenty of free time and I'd like to use it wisely and spend more time outside I'm living in an apartment, there is a park nearby where I can take a dog out. If you have a cat, I have a lot of space in my flat where your cat feels welcomed and calm.
About: I’ve grown up with pets all my life, including my own cats dog and parrots, and have cared for pets of friends and neighbors who trusted me. I love keeping every animal happy, safe, and loved, making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Right now I’m not working and can spend plenty of time giving pets love, attention, and care.

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

“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!”
“Alma was wonderful! Alma provided timely updates, made sure I was kept well-informed, and eased my worries about leaving my high energy puppy. Stryker is extremely happy to have her as a new friend. Thank you!!”

“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!”
“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 have been watching my friends’, family’s, and neighbors’ pets for 5+ years now. I offer a “Wow” factor of service that goes beyond the traditional water, food, bathroom routine. When I care for any pet, I take the extra care and time to play and cuddle so your fuzzy friend is never lonely. I make sure to bring my Polaroid camera to take pictures of your pet while you’re away so you never miss a moment and can display your cutie anywhere in the home - completely complimentary! I also have extensive experience with administering medicines like liquids, pills and subcutaneous fluids to differently abled pets. My own cat has needed each of those in the past so I have grown comfortable doing so and take extra care in the practice. My service is exemplary; neighbors who no longer live close to me still call me up to take care of their pets. I can’t wait to take care of yours! I am a primary grades teacher on summer break. This means I have lots of unused patience I typically spend on my little ones to use on taking care of your beloved pets and household, as well as lots of time on my hands to attend to your needs! I care for any pet like they are my pet. As a pet owner myself, it is so hard being away and worrying how they’re doing. When I leave them in others’ care, I would hope they care for my pet like they are their own. I take this philosophy into the homes and lives of others. With extensive practice in child care, pet care and medicine management, and house sitting, I will come to your aid with a lens of empathy and compassion.
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 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’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: Hi, I’m Abby! Neighbors, friends and family have trusted me to take care of their pets while away. I’m trustworthy, safe and reliable. I follow all directions given, and communicate well. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to walk, take care and play with your pet while you’re away. My schedule is pretty flexible. I make sure your pets are in safe areas and I follow all directions given to me. I care for them like they are my own, and respect your home and space.
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 😀
“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.”
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!
“We love Hillary! Especially Charlie! He is an energetic mid-size dog who can be an "excitable boy" as in happy. Still, he's pretty strong. Hillary walked in and within 10 minutes had him sitting calmly and dropping a piece of junk mail he grabbed. Amazing! Hillary is calm and flexible with her time if I need to deviate from our set schedule. She just loves Charlie and he loves her right back. He knows when she's here before I do, boops my hand with his nose as in hurry up (!) and tears over to the front door. Last time she left, he sat at the gate watching her go, crying. I swear, she's just the best. Hire her. She really is a dog whisperer!”
“Marissa is always so good with Zeke. They enjoy when they are able to spend time together. She goes the extra mile to make sure he has everything he needs. We appreciate all her help!”

“Penny had an excellent time with Rob and I will definitely book him again!! He sent me updates and pictures the whole time I was gone, which I appreciated. I wasn’t worried at all because she was left in amazing hands and I had the chance to meet with Rob before sending her over. 10/10 experience.”
“Eniya is such a great sitter for my dog! He always comes back happy and looks forward to seeing her when she arrives. Eniya is calming for him which is what he needs and she checks in with me daily giving updates on how he is doing in her care! She’s trustworthy and dependable! I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Great experience! Jenny was very responsive and communicated frequently. I like that she only watches one dog at a time so our pup got her full attention. Bailey was well cared for during her stay and enjoyed her time with Jenny! Highly recommend and we would book again!”
“First timer to book through Rover and it was a smashing success! Juliet seemed well cared for and entertained while her family left her for a long weekend. I would definitely book with John again. I think that Juliet got to hang with another dog put her at ease in a new home. And loved that we received periodic photos of her enjoying her vacation. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Ruben took my Anubis on such short notice and if I could give him 10 stars I would. He was very communicative and consistent with updates/pictures. While away on a long business trip, every time I worried I was able to simply check my phone for peace of mind. So glad we chose Ruben and I will be using him again in the future.”

“Deijah was very quick to respond to my request to watch my baby Arlo at the last minute for the weekend while my husband and I went out of town. She was very easy to get in touch with and sent me updates and pictures frequently. Arlo clearly loved his stay because he was SO tired when he got home. Thank you!”
“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”
“Charise was amazing with our dog Zoe! Zoe came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Charise kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took Zoe on walks, car rides, and let her play in the yard with her sweet dog Navi. You could tell Zoe was getting lots of attention and love the entire time. 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!”
“I am very grateful. Akon spent 7 days with Michael and returned very happy and well cared for. He kept me updated every day by sending me photos and videos. Thank you for taking such good care of him.”
“Carla and her roommate took such great care of my girl. I had to find care last minute before a trip, and Carla was available and accommodating. She sent regular updates and great pics. Both my dog and I were really happy with Carla and definitely plan to use her again!”
“Arlene is fantastic with our high energy pup. He is always excited to go to her house and comes back wiped out from playing. Great to have daycare and boarding with Arlene!”
