Personalized care for your dog or cat - River Forest

Highly-rated overnight sitters - River Forest
“Maria was amazing with my dog!! I was so nervous leaving my dog with someone other than family. Lucy is a rescue so she has been through it. Maria and her daughter took such good care of my pup and sent pictures daily.”

“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”

“I couldn’t ask for a better place to put my Zylo! I got so many up to date pictures and progress for my baby. When I picked him up he was fresh and had some extra treats. You can’t go wrong with your dog in there care 10/10!”

“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! !”

“The number one destination for Aegon when we travel without him is Katherine and her crew. He’s practically part of the family and I hope we’ll have the pleasure of being repeat customers for many years to come.”

“Jenny was great with our Hazel girl! She was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures while we were gone. She was very thorough with care instructions, so we knew our girl was being well cared for!”

“They did a great job with my fur baby! The photos they sent showed her well taken care of and happy. I especially like that they were prompt and reliable especially with handoff. They had my dog and her supplies ready to go when I came for pick up which was very helpful after being away. Me and my doggo would both use them again!”

“Lorraine is the best! She went above and beyond what I could have ever expected a sitter to do for my dog, Eazy. Eazy doesn't get along well with other dogs and Lorraine offered to drive out to the South Loop to pickup / drop off so that there were no encounters with other dogs. And it was even better that Eazy loved her home / yard so much so that I had a hard time getting her to come home! This was our second stay with Lorraine and I'm sure it won't be the last.”

“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.”

“Kimberly is a very capable and confident caregiver. Almost a dog whisperer. After we left town, she informed us that our pet didn’t take well to hers. She didn’t panic or pout to us. Just informed and managed it for 8 nights. Would use her again and recommend her highly!”

“The most sweetest-kindest sitter I have ever met. Rhonda cares for your pet as if it was hers. My Nugget and little Auntie had a dogspectular time. THANK YOU SOO MUCH ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🐕🐕🐕🐶💐🙌🙏🏽💐✨️”

“Tanqueray was phenomenal with my sweet but anxious older little guy. She took his unique needs into consideration as she thoughtfully planned his stay. He was comfortable and happy, which I knew because he doesn’t usually go up to sitters to say bye when I pick him up. But he did this with her. He made new doggy friends on his walks (which he’s also not always up to) and he and Sir, a sweet little guy, got along wonderfully. I’m grateful for Tanqueray and the loving care she took of my pup.”


“Yuliya is AMAZING! My dogs loved her so much they seconds guessed coming home with me! She is my go to dog sitter and I’m very lucky to have found her on Rover. Thank you for taking such good care of Marcus and Faustina. They’ll be back to stay with you soon!”

“Thank you so much, Malchom and family, for taking such great care of Atlas! We booked last minute, and Malchom was incredibly accommodating. We’re so grateful to have found a sitter close to home who is communicative, attentive, and clearly loves dogs. Atlas was in great hands!”

“Doug and Deb took care of our 11-year old medium-sized dog for 2 days/1 night while we were at a wedding. They were wonderful! We explained ahead of time that she is immunocompromised and can’t be around other dogs unless we’re 100% sure they are vaccinated, so Doug & Deb made sure she was the only “guest” in their home that weekend. They were also very accommodating when we let them know a few days before our trip that our dog would be wearing a cone and needed some antibiotic cream applied after a toenail injury. And of course, they sent pictures and reports on how she was doing throughout her stay. We will definitely use their services again in the future!”

“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!”

“So friendly and accommodating to me and my Santi boy. He seemed so happy and comfortable arriving home so i KNOW he had a great time. Charise is a true dog lover and i look forward to booking with her again. Thank you!!”

“I had a great experience with my dog sitter! She did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I would absolutely book with her again! 🐶❤️”

“Melanie did a fantastic job dropping in on my cats. I was worried my Gidget (who's a bit shy and skittish) would hide away, but she really opened up with Melanie. What a calming presence she was for my kitties. I highly recommend using Melanie and hope to be able to call her in the future. Thanks Melanie! I came home to a house with calm and happy 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 😄😄”

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.

“Justice is great! She is reliable, friendly, and sent thorough updates and pictures while checking in on Cooper. Everything went super smoothly and we'd be happy to work with her again!”


“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!”

“I'm so glad I found Megan! She was the perfect sitter for Gordon and Diane. Her daily updates were thorough, the pictures were adorable, and she left my place immaculate. While I don't want to leave them again anytime soon, I would have Megan back in a heartbeat to watch my kitties.”


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.

“Yulissa took great care of our kiddies. All cat areas were clean when we came home, and the bowls were filled. Yulissa also communicated very well. One of our cats needs medicine, and is not easy to deal with. Yulissa always let us know how it went. She clearly established a good relationship with the cat that needed medicine, because she let Yulissa brush her 😊. Overall, we really recommend Yulissa..”


“It’s always nice to travel without worrying about my girls back home. Ellen does an awesome job checking in on my cat and makes sure she gets lots of love while I’m out of town. Thank you!”


“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.”


“Sofia gives us such peace of mind when we are away! We know our cat will get lots of love, and Sofia is great about bringing in mail, watering plants, etc. she sends the cutest pics!”


“She was super sweet and took great care of my cat while I was on vacation for a week. She sent the cutest pictures everyday and even when back another time when my travel plans go delayed!”


“Jamie was amazing as usual! Went above and beyond to give my baby the best care when I had a family emergency and needed someone at the last minute. Highest recommendation!”


About: I’ve cared for cats for many years and truly understand their unique personalities and routines. I’ve owned two cats and have experience with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, and giving cats the space they need to feel comfortable. Friends and family have trusted me to check in on their cats while they’re away, and I always make sure each cat feels safe, calm, and cared for. I’m patient, observant, and attentive to changes in behavior, and I treat every cat as if they were my own.
“It was a pleasure to have Kyle check in on my cat T-Bone. He responded quickly, was flexible with dates and times, and took great care of my cat. Kyle sent detailed updates and took great pictures. Additionally, he changed my cat’s water and litter and accommodated her needs as an elderly cat. I appreciate Kyle’s help and would recommend for other pet parents.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - River Forest
“Emily was a great sitter. She was super easy to work with. She had a great backyard setup. Our pup, Bandit, loves water and Emily had a doggy pool all set up for him. Would book with Emily 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.
“We had a great experience with them during our stay in Chicago. We had to change our schedule around last minute and they were super accommodating and prompt with responses. Our pup had an amazing time with them. Highly recommend them for your pet care!”

“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!”

“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.”

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and hands-on caregiver. I raised my own dog from the time I was 15, so I have real experience caring for a dog through every stage of life, from energetic younger years to senior care. I understand the importance of patience, routine, and paying attention to changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve babysat family pets many times and am comfortable with both large and small dogs. I take pet safety and comfort seriously and treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, calm companionship, or extra TLC, I’m attentive, gentle, and dependable. Pet care is now my full-time focus, which means I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to every pet in my care. I'm available throughout the week and on weekends, making it easy to accommodate a variety of schedules, including last-minute requests when possible. I plan ahead to make sure any pets in my care receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I’m reliable about sticking to schedules and instructions so your pet’s day stays as normal and stress-free as possible. When caring for pets overnight, my priority is safety, comfort, and keeping their routine as consistent as possible to your dogs needs. I make sure pets have a calm, secure environment and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any special needs. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and comfort throughout their stay, and I never leave pets unattended for long periods of time. I keep spaces clean, pet-safe, and free of hazards, and I’m careful to respect boundaries, especially for pets who may need time to adjust in a new environment. I provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while their pets are in my care. Whether your pet needs playtime, quiet companionship, or extra reassurance overnight, I treat them with patience, respect, and the same care I would give my own.
“Twigs had an incredible time with Ruben and I got lots of updates and pictures. Ruben is super flexible and communicative and I can’t wait to send our baby back again, couldn’t recommend enough”


“Hands down one of the best sitters EVER! My cuddle bug had been going to her previous sitter for about 5 months and was still trying to warm up to them. However, after a week with Jonelle, Gina was wiggling her butt ready to go. One day she just walked into Jonelle's house without turning back to say bye or to whine. She's truly amazing and makes sure your dogs are treated as part of her family. Her family is just as great about letting your dog have space and build up comfort to bond with them. If you want someone who has great communication, is compassionate, and loves on your dogs (to the point you might consider your dog a traitor) then Jonelle is absolutely the person for you. All around a great person and sitter.”

“Once again, Aaron came through for me. He was available for a not quite last minute booking for my dog, Coco. Coco really enjoys his time at Aaron's and today he made two new dog friends. Aaron is great with Coco and I strongly recommend his services for other Rover users. Thanks, Aaron! We will see you again.”

“Carmen was amazing. I was totally at peace to leave my 3 month old puppy with her. She was very responsive and gave regular updates throughout the day. Oreo had an amazing time with her. Thanks Carmen!!”

“Malchom and his family are the dog sitters you are looking for. He is on the spot with communication. The pictures I relieved of Fritz playing and resting with his children and the warm updates about walks left me feeling that he was exceptionally well taken care of which is of course a welcomed delight during a hard day of work. If you’re in the Oak Park area and in need of some doggy day care Malchom is the preferred choice.”


“Amie and her family were great! They were able to accommodate our last-minute request, which was so awesome, and we realize it wasn't a given. They were warm and inviting. Satchel clearly felt comfortable right away as he tried to get into their home. Their dog was super sweet and ADORABLE and got along well with our dog. We got cute photos throughout the day with updates. Satchel was pooped when we picked him up and looked like a happy dog. Oh, and their kiddo was super sweet and asked for Satchel to come back. That was super special!”

“Thank you again. Repeat customer for our Pixie. I love the pictures, maps of the walks and pee, poo, and food details. It adds to my confidence of the quality care.”

“Alex was amazing! Super sweet, thoughtful, and professional. Haku had a wonderful time, and Alex even gave him a tennis ball! Harlem was also such an adorable and sweet pup for Haku to play with. Absolutely recommend!!”

“Thank you so much Carley for helping us take care of charly with such a short notice! Same day we were leaving out of town actually... Your messages and pictures kept us at peace and we were able to fully enjoy our trip. We will definitely use and recommend your services again!”

“Jamie did a great job walking our dog! We have a 60lb pitbull who can be leash reactive and we felt very comfortable with her walking him. Will definitely hire her again!”

“Abby went above and beyond, and actually did an additional walk for us the day before her scheduled services when we needed a last minute walker! She’s very communicative, punctual, and kind. She sent great pics of our boy as well :) Will absolutely ask Abby again the next time we need someone to walk our dog!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Lidiana was wondering with my dog, Bowie. She provided detailed information about his walks and cute pictures, too. Bowie was so happy and accident-free when we got home. I already have another booking with Lidiana!”

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.
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 😀

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, they’ve always held a special place in my heart. From dogs and cats to horses and more, I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, explore, or simply enjoys calm company, I’ll care for them with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own fur babies! As a licensed esthetician, I create my own schedule & have the flexibility to work around your pet’s routine, making scheduling stress free for both of us. You can count on me to be dependable, respectful of your home, and to keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving, capable hands. Pet care has always been a natural part of my day to day routine because I’ve grown up around animals & have cared for pets for majority of my life. I work part time as an esthetician, meaning I can create my own schedule, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for walks, visits, & overnight stays! The pet’s safety, comfort, & routine would be my highest priorities. I like to take the time to learn each pet’s personality, feeding schedule, medications, favorite activities, etc so they feel secure and cared for. I have experience being around cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every animal has different comfort zones and boundaries. Whether your pet is shy, playful, independent, or needs extra patience, I always respect their pace. I’ll l keep your home clean, follow your instructions carefully, & provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your furry family members are doing.🐾
About: I've been walking and dogsitting for neighbors for the last 10 years, and have 8 years of sitting experience. I focus on the dogs first, respecting their routines, needs, and giving them the dedicated attention they deserve. I am currently unemployed outside of creative ventures, so my schedule is extremely open and flexible. I am around when you need me to be. I will be unavailable on Tuesday afternoons. I've been raised around dogs since a young age, having two collies in my youth and a poodle since 2019. I take main walking and feeding duties for my current dog, Kat.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. We’ve had dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks, so I’ve had my fair share of taking care of animals. We’ve gotten all our animals when they were babies, so I have experience with all ages. I love animals and my home would feel empty without any. I’m currently have a schedule consisting of classes and basketball. I have a bit going on, but whatever free time I have, I am available! I can stick to a schedule and do everything as close to the pet’s routine as possible. I have time to go on walks and/or let them outside in the client’s yard.

“Sou Lynn was fantastic! She got along great with Daisy and took fantastic care of her. Sou Lynn also took great pictures and provided timely, thorough updates about the walks. I’d highly recommend her!”

About: My name is Daniella. I am 24 years old and working with animals is what my life is about. All my life I have had my own pets and I have also worked at an animal hospital for the past 8 years! I am a college graduate with a degree in Biology and I’m here to make sure your fur babies are happy and safe! I have lots of experience with animals and I love any kind. You have a cat? No problem! 5 dogs? (It’s okay I do too!) consider me to watch your lovely animals! I promise that I won’t let you down! I am currently a full time vet tech! I am free pretty much every Sunday and Wednesday and Saturday afternoons after 3pm. I am off some Mondays as well. I would love to be able to work with your schedule as well! Bringing pets into my home won’t always be an option for me but I am more than happy to stay at your home to watch your fur babies! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats myself so bringing in other pets does not always work well for my little guysz
About: I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing dependable, loving care tailored to their unique needs. I'm patient with puppies, attentive to senior dogs, and committed to keeping pets safe, active, and comfortable. I communicate regularly with owners, provide updates after each visit, and strive to create a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and their families. Being a school teacher, and having the summers off, my schedule is very flexible. Daily walks and sitting is a phone or text message away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their regular routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of affection while ensuring their environment stays clean. I also administer medications if needed, monitor their well-being, and send regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away.

“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”

Eazy doesn't get along well with other dogs and Lorraine offered to drive out to the South Loop to pickup / drop off so that there were no encounters with other dogs. And it was even better that Eazy loved her home / yard so much so that I had a hard time getting her to come home! This was our second stay with Lorraine and I'm sure it won't be the last.”

“Camille and Joe are wonderful. They are sweet people who are conscientious of both humans and animals. The updates I receive are relevant and spunky, they are flexible to work with, their home is tidy and spacious, and the way my dog runs in and makes himself at home every time we drop him off shows me how comfortable they make him feel as a guest. Thank you, Joe and Camille!”

“Christine did an amazing job caring for my senior dog. He does need extra patience and attention, and she provided just that. She kept me updated on his daily activities, giving me great peace of mind while I was away.”

“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter or boarder for our dog. And that means a lot because we are very picky when it comes to our dog. Kind, thorough, responsive, and actually cares about our dog!”
