“This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.”

“Iman is so lovely! I am a new dog mom of a 2 yr old husky that I adopted from the South Suburban Humane Society. I was nervous about leaving my dog as it was my first time leaving her with a sitter and I didn’t know how she’d react staying overnight with other dogs. Iman reassured me that everything would be fine and gave me updates. She even gave me samples of dog treats, that my KoKo loved. I’ll definitely use her services again.”

“I cannot recommend Mercedes enough! I was looking for a last minute sitter and Mercedes was very responsive and took my dog at last minute notice. Mercedes went above and beyond when caring for my pup and I never felt more comfortable with a sitter. She took amazing care of my dog and kept me informed! She showed incredible kindness to me and my pup ❤️”
“Ana & Byron always take such good care of our dogs while we’re out of town! They send picture and video updates throughout the time they have the dogs, so we know they’re having a good time!”
“Omg!!! I’m so happy I found Sheree! I’m a nervous Nancy when I have to leave Oreo. He enjoyed himself fully. Sheree sent plenty of pictures and kept me informed of his day. The stay also was beneficial to Oreo to help him be more socialized. He will be back…very soon.”
“Our dog loves coming over! She gets so excited in the car when she sees Joy. I also love getting photo updates from them, she’s always playing and well taken care of! 10/10 don’t even think twice, book now!”
“Tonisa did a wonderful job taking care of my doggies. This was my first time using this site and was not disappointed. She went above my expectations and I’m a really anxious person when it comes to leaving my dogs in someone else’s care. Will definitely love for her to care for my dogs in the future. This is better than boarding facilities!”
“Kamiah and Cassius are wonderful. Compassionate, prompt, and professional. My dog came home calm and happy. I look forward to booking with them again!”
“Shani (and her kiddos☺️) LOVED on my pup while I was away. Shani was an excellent communicator and sent update photos and videos, too. I really appreciated such good communication and how well Lady was taken care of. When you see your dog smiling in the update photos, you know it’s real. I’ll be looking to book Shani for my next trip away.”
About: Hi! I’m a Veterinary student with experience in animal behavior, dog training, pet handling, and more. I’m passionate about providing a safe, loving, and stress free environment for pets in my home. My veterinary education helps me recognize health concerns, understand animal body language, and ensure every pet receives attentive, knowledgeable care. I will care for your pets with all the love in my heart, treating them as if they were my own and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved throughout their stay. 🐾❤️ As a Veterinary student, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I am available to care for pets during both weekdays and weekends, and I can provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a secure apartment building with controlled access and a safe environment. There are several nearby parks and walking areas where your pet can enjoy regular exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. I typically accept only one pet (or pets from the same family) at a time. I do not board pets from different households together, which helps prevent conflicts, anxiety, and unnecessary stress. This allows me to give each pet my full attention and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay.
“Dan and Monica are such wonderful people and so kind to your animal while they are watching yours. They made us feel so comfortable and they shared plenty of pictures which made us feel so happy while we were away. Would love to use them again in the future!”
“Ellie did a wonderful job with Bella. She updated us daily and included many photos. Her house is set up well to ensure safety for the dogs/owners. The backyard is double fenced allowing plenty of room to roam and play. She treats each dog as if they were her own. Ellie’s warm personality and beautiful smile made it easy for us to highly recommend her.”
“Barbara and her husband took absolutely wonderful care of my dogs while I was away. Our first meet n greet Barbara was warm, responsible, and clearly experienced with animals. She treated my dogs like part of their her family, giving them plenty of attention and affection. I really appreciated the updates and photos—they gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were happy and well cared for. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving pet sitters. I wouldn’t hesitate to have them watch my dogs again!”
“Laura did a great job watching our dog, Charlie. She sent pictures and told us how Charlie was doing each day. She was very good at communicating with us throughout the entire period. I would definitely leave Charlie with her again!”
“1000/10, She contacted me everyday with updates and pictures/ videos. I definitely will be recommending her to my friends and family. My dog loved Ms. Toya, she came back home just as happy as she was when I dropped her off!!!”

“Ariana was absolutely amazing with our pets! From the very beginning, she was kind, reliable, and genuinely cared about making sure they were happy and well taken care of. She kept us updated, gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, and treated our pets like they were her own. When we came home, everyone was happy, healthy, and relaxed, and the house was in great condition , which says everything about the love and attention they received. I would trust her with our pets again without a second thought and will absolutely be booking her in the future. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, compassionate, communicative, and goes above and beyond, Ariana is the one. We couldn’t recommend her more highly. Thank you, Ariana, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family!”

“This was our first time using Rover. My husband and I went on a week-long trip, and we couldn't find anyone to watch our 2 kitties overnight. I was nervous because I usually like to have family watch them, as I know them. After meeting Khalia, I could tell she cared for animals, and it made me feel better. She did a great job with our little chaos gremlins, and they felt safe with her! She left everything nice and clean, respected our home, and gave us updates with pictures. The pics meant a lot! I'm a worried cat momma, so this helped with us being so far away. We'll continue to reach out to her when we need a cat sitter!”
“Kelera is so awesome!!! So friendly, professional, and helpful. Not only did she take care of the basics for our kitties while we were gone but she went above and beyond to help them get comfortable around her and communicate how they were doing. Excellent service, communication, and care! Thank you again Kelera, we will be in touch again soon 🙂”

“Taryn was great. She hit it off with my cat Murphy. She followed all instructions. She stayed for the full time she was supposed to. I will definitely hire her again when I go out of town. It was nice to have the piece of mind that Murphy would be looked after while I was gone.”
“Cassidy took such amazing care of our cat Blue while we were away for an extended period of time. He is normally hesitant and shy with strangers, but it was clear that he warmed up to her right away. She sent thoughtful updates and the best photos, and it was such a relief that I never had to worry once about how Blue was doing while we were gone. I would absolutely recommend her to any of my friends/family! ???”
“Chloe was super nice and accommodating when I had to make a change of plans last minute! 10/10 would recommend and she took super cute pictures to keep me updated as well!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am so grateful I found Juliana. I was so nervous leaving my baby in the care of anyone for the first time on an extended stay. Juliana took such good care of my Benito! Her communication was great and you can tell she truly is an animal lover. I would definitely recommend her! Thank you for caring for my Benito! 🫶🏽🐈⬛”
“I give Iman 5 stars times 20. This is my first time using Rover and I selected Iman for home drop in visits for the week I was on work related travel. To say I was nervous is an understatement. However, from the time I met Iman I knew she was the right choice. I perceived her to be a gentle, compassionate and honest person. This was important to me considering the temperament of my fur babies. One is a rescue due to abuse and none have ever been border and I wanted them to stay in the comfort of their own home. Yes I got that vibe from just meeting her. Very positive ora and energy. Iman exceeded my expectation. My 4 fur babies took to her right away and she cared for them as I would. You can tell this is not just work for Iman it’s what she loves. She absolutely has a love for and way with animals.t antisocial cats were even drawn to her. She made sure the house was locked and secured each time and that the alarm was set. I will definitely continue to utilize her services for my fur babies. I can’t express my gratitude enough for having such an amazing and outstanding sitter. Also, they loved her dog food. ❤️”
“Jazz was so very awesome. This was the first time we used Rover and she was a definite awesome choice for our cats. We had a video call before to discuss everything and make sure we both knew what was to be expected. I got a text and photos and video of her visit with the cats, so my mind was more at ease. We will definitely recommend and rebook Jazz 😊”
About: I love to spend time with them , I like to play with them, I like to take them to the park. I will always keep them on a leash. I can teach them some tricks, sit , stay roll over. I can take them out every two hours, to go potty. I can keep them over night. I took care of a one eye cat, I took care of a blind dog. I have had dogs in diapers. I took care of a Yorkshire, who was pregnant, she went into labor at my house, and my mom and I delivered three little babies they came out every forty minutes. We help clean the babies, and my dog Chuckie helped to. Give them kisses, hugs.

About: I have been a dog owner for over 25 years. I currently have a 3 year old golden doodle and a 10 year old yorkie/maltise mix that I rescued from the shelter when she was just 7 months old. Being a dog owner for over 25 years has given me a lot of experience and patience with dogs. I am recently retired and have even more time with my fur babies. My dogs get routine walks and playtime at our local doggie park. I have a fenced in backyard for your fur baby to stretch out and play. Your dog will have their own personal cage and space while in my care.

“Lauren was absolutely amazing with my Bear. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She was attentive, responsible, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable and cared for while I was away. Lauren kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a spotless house.

About: I’m fortunate to have experience with a wide variety of animals thanks to my cousins, who have two cats, three dogs, a turtle, and a horse. I help care for their pets regularly, so I’m comfortable meeting the unique needs of animals of all kinds and treating each one like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m currently finishing up breast cancer treatment and have intentionally chosen pet sitting as my primary work. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and being able to provide reliable, loving care while I’m in this season of life has been incredibly rewarding. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. At my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard for supervised play, exercise, and potty breaks, along with plenty of attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other care instructions. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
About: I have a unique blend of experience that enables me to give the highest quality of care. I've been a pet mom for 15 years to dogs, cats, and pigs. I also founded and run an animal rescue since 2020. In addition, I spent a year training at a wildlife rehab facility. Essentially, I have devoted my life to making sure animals feel loved and cared for. Your precious baby will be in the best hands! I am very flexible with my schedule and am happy to work around what is best for you and your pets! I have plenty of time to make sure your babies are well cared for and have proper enrichment! I will come to you, so that your pet feels safe and happy in their own environment. Earning their trust is essential and very important to me. All companion animals deserve respect, to feel safe, loved, and have lots of enrichment.
“Grace paid excellent attention to instructions and details to ensure a smooth dog walking visit. She is really comfortable with my 2 large dogs who cannot seem to keep all 4 paws on the ground.🥺 Grace put my anxiety of securing another dog sitter at ease. Thank you Grace for your excellent pet care.💖”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have raised several from young puppies into adulthood. I currently care for my three dogs—Nala, Sage, and Willow—and have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic puppy care, and giving each dog the patience and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your pet like they’re one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I receive my work schedule monthly, so I keep my availability up to date and am happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit both of our schedules. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, and provide a loving, dependable environment while you’re away.
About: Hello, I'm Katie! I helped my mom run a cat rescue for over 8 years (that includes waking up every 2 hours to bottle feed, giving medication, handling moody kitties, cleaning up constant messes, etc). Since then, I've been trusted to pet sit for friends, coworkers, and family members. I have slightly more experience house sitting with cats than dogs, but I love all pets equally and would be so happy to meet them! I offer overnight stays/house sitting, drop-ins, and dog walking. I am currently pet sitting full time. I am available on weekdays and weekends however early or late as needed, and for as many drop-ins as needed. My schedule is very flexible! The care and safety of your pet is the most important thing to me. I make sure to keep human food out of reach along with plastic bags, cords, or other potentially harmful items. I always try to keep pets entertained, happy, and out of trouble. I am a very clean person and will never leave a mess behind, I can assure your home will be well looked after. I can provide photo or text updates as often as needed!

About: I have had and been around dogs since I was a child. Dogs seem to come to me naturally; without fear or hesitation. I honestly believe this is because I approach them with ease and am not forceful. It seemed like a natural step for me to join the Rover community. Ive also been a dog owner and currently have Jazzy who is my beloved Boston Terrier Mix with a big personality and sweet nature. Jazzy and I chose each other and its been an adventure ever since day one! she loves everyone but at times can be a little bossy. I'm well aware of who runs the household! I pride myself on ensuring that Jazzy stays healthy by giving her quality food and treats, Along with that she enjoys her fenced in yard and takes daily walks. We have lots of playtime and cuddles. I'll treat your dog as I would my own. That is my motto as I don't want you to worry or be concerned when you are away from your precious fur baby. I can't replace you, or would never try but rest assured your pet will receive all my tender loving care. I have had the opportunity to care for some dogs on Rover who have become regular clients. The owners have told me that they reach out to me first and hope that I am available. That is a huge compliment and I'm honored that I made such an impact on their four legged friend. All the pets I have met have their own unique personality and what I do as a sitter is simply take them for who they are which includes any little quirks. Canine or human, we all possess them. If you like what you see, let's schedule a meet and greet and see if I'm the right fit for your pet and their needs. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me and read my profile! I work remotely on a part time basis so can be available in the afternoon/evening and do pet sitting on the weekends away from my home. Well I make sure my dog Jazzy is loved and cared for each and every day. I give her good food and healthy treats. Daily walks and preventive meds to keep her healthy and strong.
“Iman was wonderful! I have never left my dogs before but had to in order to move. She was patient, truthful, transparent about her services, and most importantly KIND. I was a mess and she talked me through all the changes and what she thought was best for my animals. She was very professional when she met them and when we walked them. She came at all of her scheduled visits and spent time with them even sending me photos to keep me calm. Most importantly, the last photo she sent me of my little, old lady, I could tell that Leela was sad to see her new friend go. She really did a great job caring for my babies and even left me samples of her dog food. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend!!!”

About: With over a decade of hands on animal care experience, I provide dependable walks and attentive home visits rooted in patience, consistency, and genuine care. My experience in animal shelters, professional grooming, and veterinary medicine has allowed me to work with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, helping me understand their individual needs, adapt to different personalities, and remain calm in new or challenging situations. . Clear communication is one of my top priorities. After every walk or drop in, you’ll receive detailed updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I pay attention to the little things, from changes in energy and appetite to shifts in mood or behavior, because those details often matter most. . Whether you need recurring walks, midday check ins, or dependable care while you’re away, I show up on time, respect your home, and help maintain the routines your pet knows and trusts. As the owner of a very smart senior poodle, I understand the trust it takes to place your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to build that trust through consistency, attentiveness, and open communication, while providing the kind of care that gives both pets and their people peace of mind. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. Whether you need recurring walks, drop-in visits, or last-minute care, I prioritize clear communication and dependable service. My goal is to keep your pet on as consistent a schedule as possible. I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any household guidelines you provide. Every pet is unique, and I’m happy to accommodate the little details that help them feel comfortable and at home. Whether that’s a favorite walking route, a special bedtime routine, or even a specific way they like their meals prepared, I’m happy to help.
About: My purr-found love for cats has only grown over the years. Despite coming from a dog-preferred family—cats are my vibe! Thankfully, fate brought my quirky calico feline, Pia; a cat who magically gets along & plays with other cats & dogs. For nearly 3 years, I’ve worked as a purr-fessional cat sitter—accepting kittens, adult & senior cats ONLY after having a phone conversation with the owner. Essentially you need to pick the right caregiver for your animals, and I understand that I may or not be that for you. I reserve the right to deny service at my discretion, but I am very flexible with time and schedules. Tell me more about your cat(s)'s eating, sleeping, and playing habits to ensure I follow their natural schedule, as much as paw-sible! I aim to minimize any claw-ful feelings in my kitty clients. Thank you for reading & I look forward to hearing from you soon! :) Bachelors of Science 🧬 Certification: Basic Life Support 🩹 ⛑ Reiki Level 2 Practitioner: 🧘🏾 I am able to schedule visits around my claw-ients needs. Upon arrival, I get to business and perform the kitty chores first so that the end of the visit is filled with paw-some fun! At this time I am only cat sitting at my claw-ients house to ensure minimal disruption to the kitties. I give my fur-iends time to warm up to me & approach them on their terms.

“Our dog loves coming over! She gets so excited in the car when she sees Joy. I also love getting photo updates from them, she’s always playing and well taken care of! 10/10 don’t even think twice, book now!”
“Tonisa did a wonderful job taking care of my doggies. This was my first time using this site and was not disappointed. She went above my expectations and I’m a really anxious person when it comes to leaving my dogs in someone else’s care. Will definitely love for her to care for my dogs in the future. This is better than boarding facilities!”
“Shani (and her kiddos☺️) LOVED on my pup while I was away. Shani was an excellent communicator and sent update photos and videos, too. I really appreciated such good communication and how well Lady was taken care of. When you see your dog smiling in the update photos, you know it’s real. I’ll be looking to book Shani for my next trip away.”
About: Hi! I’m a Veterinary student with experience in animal behavior, dog training, pet handling, and more. I’m passionate about providing a safe, loving, and stress free environment for pets in my home. My veterinary education helps me recognize health concerns, understand animal body language, and ensure every pet receives attentive, knowledgeable care. I will care for your pets with all the love in my heart, treating them as if they were my own and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved throughout their stay. 🐾❤️ As a Veterinary student, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I am available to care for pets during both weekdays and weekends, and I can provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a secure apartment building with controlled access and a safe environment. There are several nearby parks and walking areas where your pet can enjoy regular exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. I typically accept only one pet (or pets from the same family) at a time. I do not board pets from different households together, which helps prevent conflicts, anxiety, and unnecessary stress. This allows me to give each pet my full attention and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay.
“1000/10, She contacted me everyday with updates and pictures/ videos. I definitely will be recommending her to my friends and family. My dog loved Ms. Toya, she came back home just as happy as she was when I dropped her off!!!”
“Our pup was so well-loved by Patricia and her family. From the second she met our dog I knew she was in good hands and the regular updates and pictures she sent reassured us of that. Could not recommend her services more highly!”
“Manuel is the best. He’s looked after my little corgi Kit twice now and has done an excellent job. I can’t recommend him enough! Your pup will always be in good hands with Manuel. Thanks so much!!”
“Juliana boarded my cat Pistachio for a few days. Everything went great. She sent pictures throughout and drop off and pickup were quick and painless. Will definitely book her services again.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have raised several from young puppies into adulthood. I currently care for my three dogs—Nala, Sage, and Willow—and have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic puppy care, and giving each dog the patience and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your pet like they’re one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I receive my work schedule monthly, so I keep my availability up to date and am happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit both of our schedules. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, and provide a loving, dependable environment while you’re away.
“I have been going to Bola for quite some time now and she is very accommodating when it comes to my 90 pound Goldendoodle. I truly appreciate her flexibility and support in watching him from time to time as I navigate my first pregnancy,”
“Overall great experience. Sitter provided continuous updates with pictures and texts. Also, sitter sought clarity regarding feeding, toys, etc. before proceeding further with care for puppy. Great communication. Will definitely book sitter’s services again.”
“Chelsea was phenomenal!! 5 out of 5 stars doesn’t even begin to cover it. So easy to communicate with, we received more pictures then we knew what to do with, and she was consistently taking the dogs on walks, to the beach, and out for treats. Couldn’t be more thankful. If we are ever in Chicago again we will be using her services!!”
“Michelle and Christy are so amazing with my boy! He’s pretty timid and slow to open up to people, but he snuggled right up to them. Their house is perfectly set up for dogs, with a huge back yard, and their dogs get along so well with mine! Will definitely use again in the future!”
“Jenny was amazing with our fur baby Charlie! She kept us updated throughout her time with our baby. He was very happy and that makes us very happy. Would definitely recommend Jenny and we will be repeat customers with her. Thanks Jenny!”
