Highly-rated overnight sitters - Sutton
“I felt totally at ease leaving my dogs with Jackie. She kept me updated with photos and videos every day, and the dogs were very happy with her. I plan on booking with her again!”
“Yaqi is absolutely the best, I have an elderly Frenchie who is generally with me 24/7. I was very worried about leaving her with anybody but Yaqi very quickly put my mind at ease. She sends many pics and videos and my dog loves her. I won’t sorry next time I leave town because I know my dog will be with Yaqi.”
“June C. Did a wonderful job caring for our dog. She sent photos and updates daily and our Fred was well taken care of. He was happy and healthy. I will not hesitate to ask June to watch him again in the future.”
“Patricia took amazing care of Zoey. She was great with sending us video and photo updates which gave us peace of mind. I highly recommend Patricia and look forward to having her watch Zoey again.”
“April was fantastic. She sent photo updates daily on Layla and when I came to pick up our dog she was outside playing with her with her kids. My dog was visibly happy and well cared for, highly recommend:)”
“We hired Judith to watch my 12 year old dog in her home. My dog seemed to really enjoy her stay and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her. Judith provided twice a day updates which I really enjoyed! She verified with me before I left that twice a day updates would be appropriate which I appreciated too. I would definitely recommend Judith! You can really tell she genuinely cares about dogs. :)”
“Jessica took great care of Avery. She was boarding another rat terrier at the same time and took steps to ensure the two dogs got along at feeding time. Her daughter made sure Avery got lots of love and exercise. She came home happy & healthy. Overall it was a great experience.”
“Hannah is probably one of the best dog sitters I’ve met. Piper would rather stay with her than come home! Without a doubt will be using Hannah as much as possible. She sends daily updates and her timely replies and flexibility is unmatched.”
“David and Mary were very communicative throughout Bender’s stay. We were gone for a week and Bender had a difficult time adjusting and got sick. They went the extra mile to care for him by changing his diet and providing him medicine. I appreciate their efforts and for keeping me updated throughout! Would definitely recommend them for future stays!”
“Rosie once again has taken very good care of our little "special needs" doggie, Peanut. My husband and I could tell that Peanut was loved, cuddled, walked, and given much attention- of which we are very grateful for. Rosie is also good at giving Peanut his medicine! We highly recommend her to pet owners in need of a sitter!”
“Jacquelin and Uriel did a fantastic job watching our dog Esco for the second time. We come from out of town, but we would definitely use them again in the future if possible. Thanks again guys.”
“Steph was awesome! This was my first experience with Rover and I have a Boykin Spaniel, which is a 16 month old 40lb high energy hunting machine. She excepted the challenge and treated Kola like he was her own. Very pleased with the whole experience and Steph. I took a fly-in fishing to the northern woods of Canada and due to fires and bad weather in the area had to extend my stay for an additional two days up there because the float plane couldn't come get us. Steph rearranged her schedule to accommodate me. I didn't expect her to do that but greatly appreciate her for doing so. I highly recommend Steph, will use her again in the future (that is if she'll let me LOL).”
“Christine is an excellent sitter, and I look forward to booking her again. My dog, Bentley, is my world and this was the first time, he was going to stay with a non-relative. I was nervous how he would do, but after returning from my vacay, I brought home a happy & healthy dog. His overall demeanor was enough for me to know that he was well taken care of and looked after. Also, Christine’s dog, Chloe is a sweet gentle gal, and it was easy for Bentley who has only-child syndrome to get along with her.”
“Barlow enjoyed his stay at the “retreat”. He came home a calm and relaxed hound- I think he learned to meditate while he was there! He’s so chill now. Banks Derek!”
“Kaylee is the absolute best!! She cares for our puppy weekly but had him for a very long weekend and provided some many great updates and even when our guy was anxious - she was so attentive!!! The best of the best.”
“We left our 5-month-old Sheepoo with this sitter for the first time while we were away on a weekend trip, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Communication was excellent from the start—the sitter was always quick to respond and kept us updated regularly. Most importantly, it was clear how much they genuinely cared for and loved our puppy, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Before his stay, our puppy was very hesitant during walks and would often get scared by passing cars. To our surprise, after spending time with this sitter, he became much more confident and comfortable on walks. We were amazed by the improvement. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our pup. We truly appreciate everything you did and would absolutely book with you again!”
“Penny looked after Ginger as a trial night before we go on a longer trip this summer. I could tell Ginger had a blast and Penny is very caring with the dogs. I’m not concerned with leaving my pup with Penny when I have to be gone this summer. Thank you Penny and Ginger and I will see you again soon!”
“Shauna and Peter were amazing! The reviews are all accurate and I'm so glad we found them. They took such good care of our puppy and sent us daily updates (photos and videos). The whole process was super easy and we were worried since this was our first time using Rover. When we picked up our puppy all his stuff was packed nicely and he was waiting for us at the front, ready and fed. We couldn't believe how great this app is and the loving families who opened up their home to our fur baby. Thank you Shauna and Peter for taking such good care of Leo.”

Cat caregivers near you - Sutton
“Maddie did an excellent job of caring for our cat. She came to feed her on a consistent schedule, spent time with her, and sent photos, as well as keeping her litter box clean. Going above and beyond, she also fed our tropical fish and brought in the mail! It is not often that no one is at home to care for our Molly, but when the need arises, our first choice will be to trust Maddie to be her reliable, conscientious, and thoughtful caretaker.”
“Taylor provided daily care for my 2 cats while we were on vacation. The care was outstanding with feeding cleaning and cat interaction sending daily updates . I would use Taylor again and would highly recommend her . Thank you Taylor”
“Taylor was very responsive and helpful, keeping me posted on changes, updates, and how my pets were responding to her in our absence. I would absolutely use her again on future trips, she was very warm and pleasant, and flexible, when we needed, including changing visits, or pick up times, And that flexibility allowed us to have an amazing family vacation. Thanks Taylor for all you do!”
“Jacqueline was wonderful with our cats, she gave written updates at each visit and was proactive in asking us questions to make sure they were getting the proper care. Would absolutely work with her again!”
“Jaime was so kind, sweet, and communicative! She sent amazing pictures of our kitten and kept us updated the entire time we were on our trip, providing us with the peace of mind we needed. Thanks Jamie!”
“Heather was amazing with our two cats! She provided so many updates with pictures and videos which put us at ease when out of state! We will definitely be asking Heather to sit for our boys again 10/10!!”
“Rachael was wonderful! Incredibly communicative - her report cards gave me such good peace of mind while I was away from my babies. Super flexible as far as the initial meet and greet and exchanging keys. I will absolutely be using her again when I am out of town. 🩷”
“Evelyn is a god send! She was FABULOUS with our pets. We have a sassy cat and two buns who absolutely loved her! She was prompt on timing and followed all of the directions we had. She met with us before our vacation to meet our furry friends and pick up keys. She sent hilarious updates and pictures. We never had a worry with Evelyn watching our pets. 10 out 10 would book her again.”
“Cynthia was fabulous! We got detailed updates and pictures during each visit. Our old cat, Polly, usually just hides when people come over, but Cynthia made her so comfortable that Polly was greeting her at the door. She usually gets left alone and it breaks my heart to leave her and it was so nice to know that she was being loved and cared for.”
“Brianna did great caring for our cat while we were away. She paid great attention to detail and took notes on everything we went over. The cat was fed daily, water was kept clean, litter box(es) scooped, and all areas were kept very clean. In addition to taking great care of the cat, Brianna was willing to also check on our frog and maintain his waterfall and water bowl, which was a great extra bit of help. We received great photos of both the cat and the frog daily. We would absolutely trust her to care for our pets again in the future.”
“Jessica and Luis are ah-mazing!! I reached it to them on short notice and they were still willing to meet with me and car for my 2 cats while I visited some friends for the weekend. It was my first time using a pet sitter so I was a little nervous but they made me feel at ease leaving Smokey and Pippa for a few days. They sent pictures and texted updates after each visit. Highly recommend them and will not hesitate to book with them again!”
“Jazalyn is the best! She is extremely accommodating and fantastic with pets she’s only met once! My dog was comfortable with her immediately and she provided plenty of pictures and reassurance while we were away!”
“Audrey was fantastic with our cats, Ben and Chloe! Her professionalism and communication were top-notch. We were impressed by her dedication and care, which made our time away worry-free. Highly recommend Audrey!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Sutton
“Pepsi had a lot of fun at Erin and Eddie’s. It was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving Pepsi with a sitter. Erin and Eddie were so caring about his needs and followed through the care instructions. They made sure Pepsi had a great time and slept well until it was time to pick him up.”
About: I'm Victor a homeowner in Hoffman Estates with a fenced backyard and a genuine love for dogs. Your dog gets my full attention: structured walks, a safe yard to run, and a calm home environment. I keep owners updated with photos and check-ins throughout the day. Small things matter to me because your dog matters to you. I'm currently working full-time and have time to walk dogs after 6 p.m., I'm available on weekends as well upon request. Weekends availability if needed. I can responsibly walk your dog without distractions, that means not checking my cellphone every minute during the walk. If house sitting is needed, I am a home owner with fenced back yard and empty unfurnished basement.
“Jacqueline was a pleasure to work with to arrange daycare for Brutus. She was communicative; responded in minutes with very clear questions. She double checked that Brutus had all the necessary shots. I didn’t go inside, but from the outside the house looked perfect for dogs in a nice neighborhood with grass and a yard. Her two dogs in the house must have had great personalities, because Brutus came home exhausted from playing. Thanks again, Jacqueline! I’ll message you next time.”
“We loved working with Katey! We left our fur baby in her care and we couldn’t be happier!!! She was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond in keeping us updated. It was the first time we had to leave our doggo in someone else’s care. So the texts and pictures meant a lot! :) Katey is super kind and sweet! And she has an awesome family! We have already booked her again!”
“My two pups had a great time at daycare for the last 3 days while I was in town on business. Pattie & Mike were super flexible as this was a last minute booking, and kept us updated with adorable pics showing how much fun they were having all day. One of my pups is typically very shy around new people and will shake or hide behind us, but on our second day she went straight to them, happy as can be, wagging like crazy at dropoff. I know my girls are in good hands here, and will definitely be using Pattie again when I'm in town.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12. We have had family dogs growing up and we raised since puppies. I have also dog sat and taken care many friends/ family dogs of all ages. I was a nanny in high school and college and would take care of their dogs as well. I have experience with dog sitting/boarding up to 3 dogs at once. My days are very flexible and I will have plenty of time to feed, play with, and walk dogs at any hour on the days of the week I am available. My husband also works from home full time and loves to help out with walks/playing! We have a fenced in yard. We do not have a dog of our own so your dog will get all of the attention! We have plenty of room to fit a crate if necessary. We also have a gate to fence off the upstairs part of the house if necessary as well.
“Jackie was amazing with my energetic boy Tucker!! He loved playing in her backyard and snuggling with her and her pups on the couch. He is tired and happy after picking him up. It was my first time dropping him at someone’s house for Rover so I was very anxious, however Jackie eased that immediately when I met her and her two cute pups. I will 100% use her services again next time I’m in the area.”
“Jackie took care of our furbaby well. She updates me with photos and making sure that our dog is having a great time. Thank you Jackie for taking good care of Pebbles. We will surely use her service next time if we need her.”
“Kristina was absolutely fantastic. This was the first time we used a sitter for our little guy and Kristina made sure he was comfortable and gave him enough time to adjust. She was very flexible with timings as well.”
“Erena is very friendly and personable with dogs. She was able to make our dog Leia feel comfortable in her surroundings and provided timely communication/updates. Overall, Leia had a great stay. We would highly recommend Erena.”
About: I am currently a grad school student trying to spread the love for our 4 legged friends one walk at a time! I currently have my own dog that I have had for 2 years that I adore and know how hard it can get when you need to be away from your pet for longer than wanted but have no fear because I will give your pet all the love, adoration, tail wags, and more while you’re away for a bit! I have also taken care of all different types of pets (dogs, cats, bunnies) for family and friends growing up, including walking, boarding, feeding, and bathing. As an all around pet lover, I would love to treat your own dog like family and give them everything that need until you come back. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. Hope to hear from you soon :) As of now, I am available weekends! I am free Friday’s after 3pm but other than that, I’m am free all day throughout the weekend. (Updated: 3/30/25) I have a very friendly dog in my household, but can be easily separated from your pet easily if needed. Crating also can be done if necessary. For safety, you will be given 1-2 hour updates (or more!) of the status of your pet also.
“Monica and Eric were absolutely fantastic! The took the time to talk with us on a meet and greet a few days before we dropped our dog off. Our little guy had a great time with them and they sent multiple picutures thoroughout the day. We will definitely be using them in the future!”
“June came to our rescue as we had an emergency and needed her last minute and saved us with watching pablo and her new fur friend Veloui! Thank you so much! SHE IS THE BEST!!!”
“April took time to really make sure Beausarge got comfortable on his first visit. She went over his training commands and took him for a walk. He can be a little high needs and she took great care of him. We will definitely be using April again.”
“Tiago is a wonderful dog sitter. Our 7 month old bernedoodle puppy is very high energy and he is very patient and kind to her. He is obviously a dog lover. He is also very organized and always has all of her toys and stuff packed up at pick up time. We couldn't ask for a better sitter and Maggie loves going to visit him and his lovely family.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Sutton
“Rena helped me out last minute when I needed a walker after a family emergency. She was quickly responsive and able to pick up the shift and I couldn’t have been more grateful!”
“Had the opportunity to have Jaime watch my dog overnight after using Jaime as a walker. I can tell you we couldn't be more pleased after having Ernie spend 3 nights at Jaime's house.”
“We interviewed a few walkers on Rover, and Taylor was the one who stood out above the rest. She was much more clear and descriptive about her approach, her style of managing dogs, and her specific techniques. She is very organized, highly responsive, and I highly recommend her for your pets!”
“Wendy has been walking my puppy, Missy, three days a week for 30 minutes each time, and she’s been wonderful. Missy always comes back happy and relaxed after their walks. Missy is a diva and sometimes resists going out, but Wendy is always patient, kind, and understanding with her. I especially love the feedback and pictures Wendy shares after each walk—they give me a lot of comfort and peace knowing how Missy is doing. I’ve really appreciated the care and consistency she brings to every visit, and I hope to see her back in the spring.”
“Heather did a great job walking my dog Daniella. in the rain my dog doesn’t like to go for a walk so Heather took extra time to help get her in the mood for a walk. She did s great job!”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was 8 years old. I figured out at a young age they can help heal the human spirit. I wanted to be like them and heal people so I became a nurse. While working as a home health nurse my patients' pets would get a visit from me too. Now I'm retired from nursing and freelancing. My experience is very diverse and I am hardworking. My schedule is very flexible. I'm available 7 days a week. I'm also available for holidays. I can do early morning walks, mid day, afternoon and evenings rain or shine. I have a big backyard and access to a local dog park as well. I love going on walks and exploring new neighborhoods with new fur friends.
“Audrey was so wonderful with our dog, Jax! She was always on time for his walks, and sent lots of pictures and updates so that we could see how he was doing. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: **PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING PET/HOUSE SITTING** For Pet sitting, I typically do not spend the night in your home. I have my own pets & children and prefer to stay in my own home. What I do provide is basically a discount on a bundle of drop-ins (at least 4) on a schedule that works for you and your animals for example - a check-in in the morning between 6-8am, 2-3 drop-ins during the day, and then a longer evening drop-in between 7-9. This service is perfect those pets that do not need someone with them all night :) If this works for your pets, please reach out! Note: If you reservation is less 3 days or less, I am open to discussing staying at your home after a meet n' greet :) I provide steady, attentive care for animals of all sizes—helping them stay comfortable and relaxed in their own routine while you’re away. Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I bring a steady, attentive presence that helps them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. My experience includes everyday care for companion animals as well as hands-on work with horses, including equine bodywork, which has strengthened my ability to stay calm, observant, and responsive with animals of all sizes and temperaments. I follow routines closely—feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter care, and all the small details that matter—and I adapt my approach based on each animal’s personality and needs. Whether your pet is social and energetic or shy and routine-driven, I meet them where they are. You can expect clear communication and consistent updates while you’re away, so you always know your pets are safe and well cared for. I am currently looking to fill in some gaps in my schedule and should be able to accommodate most pet owners and their pet care needs. I follow care instructions closely and treat both your pet and your home with respect and care. Safety, routine, and clear communication are always my priority. If anything comes up or you have questions, I’m easy to reach and will keep you updated while you’re away.
“Thank you for walking amber again. She is always so excited to walk with someone other than me and she loves it when you take her to the park. Hope you continue to enjoy Amber”
About: Hello! I’m Ashley, I’m a Licensed Veterinary Nurse in emergency medicine with over 10 years of experience caring for animals. I care for both dogs and cats. If you have exotics, I can care for them as well. I have experience working with animals of all ages, with a strong passion for senior care and supporting animals with special needs. Overnight Stays: Unless requested to stay full time in your home for house sitting, I do go home during the day to check on my animals, run errands, etc. My overnight hours are 5/6pm-8/9am unless otherwise discussed :) I work 3 nights a week at the ER, so my schedule is pretty flexible. If you are comfortable with your kiddos being home at night to sleep during times I work, that is an option. For smaller pets I can always make it so they can hangout with me at work. I offer pet sitting over nights, drop ins, and walks. I cannot currently board at my home since I have my own pets, but will do whatever I can to make sure your family pets are safe and happy while in my care!
“Deepthi was absolutely wonderful with my fur baby. She sent me frequent updates and pictures. My dog warmed to her very quickly. I would use Deepthi again as well as recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She was truly great.”
“Fred has been an absolute blessing to our family. Moochy like him immediately and trusted him. She’s usually pretty skittish. Fred was always on time, willing to be flexible if needed, and was just really good with Moochy. I needed someone who was strong to walk mooch because she’s big and strong. Fred had no trouble with it. I had absolute faith in Fred’s ability to handle her. And when Mooch saw his car pull up, she was so happy. I have no trouble recommending Fred to be your dog walker.”
“Sophia did an exceptional job walking Huckleberry! He was so excited to see her and had a great time. Sophia handled this wild 7 month old golden with no trouble at all. I’ll definitely hire her again.”
“Hayley is extremely responsible, has great communication and is on time for all scheduled visits. She did an amazing job with drop-in visits and dog walks and left us very comfortable while we were away. Will definitely be using her next time. Thanks, Hayley!”

“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.

I would highly recommend Prithvi to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate dog boarder. She truly treats your pet like her own.”
