“I can’t speak highly enough about Shalyn, Joe, and their family. We went away for an extended period of time and were adamant about finding the perfect dog sitter for our girl Lucy, and that’s exactly what we found. From the moment they took her in, they made Lucy part of their family. Not to mention, she found a new best friend in their German Shepherd, Sadie. Every single day, I received photos and videos of them playing nonstop. It was incredibly heartwarming, and I couldn’t have been happier knowing Lucy was in such loving and capable hands. Just to put things in perspective, Shalyn, Joe, and family are about a 40 minute drive from our home, but they will always be our go to whenever we need care for Lucy. Thank you so much for everything. You are sincerely the best.”
“Tosha was an amazing dog sitter! She cared for my dog, Maggie, like her own, giving her so much love and attention. I could tell Maggie was happy and well taken care of when I got her back. Communication was great, and I felt completely at ease knowing Maggie was in such good hands. I highly recommend Tosha to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“I had never boarded my little 13 year old dog. When I had my Meet and Greet with Eric, Mollie jumped up next to him and cuddled. I knew then that she picked Eric. I was gone for a week over the 4th of July and Eric took amazing care of her even with the fireworks. As far as I am concerned I will never leave her with anyone else when I need a sitter.”
“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!”
“Our dog Marty had a wonderful stay at Maria’s house. He was all smiles when we picked him up. I would recommend Maria to anyone who likes their dog to have fun interacting with other dogs.”
“Jessica watched Chloe on short notice when an other Rover lady backed out at the last minute. She really enjoyed her stay and we will be using the service again. She has a perfect set-up and both she and her husband are dog lovers.”
“Jackie is always fantastic with Corey! She accepts him into her beautiful home as if he was one of her own. She is very generous with pictures. Corey loves staying there! Thank you so much, Jackie!”
“Steph was great. My dog enjoyed running around the yard, playing with her pup, and relaxing when he wanted a break. Steph sent updates during the stay, which I really appreciated. Her home was clean and welcoming, and my dog was his normal happy self when I picked him up. Drop off and pick up were easy, and she was flexible with timing. I would happily book with her again.”
“I wanted to leave a 5 ⭐️review and a BIG thank you to this wonderful family who watched my dog . I spent my whole trip getting to see my dog and follow her day through pics and videos. I actually found out my dog likes toys and activities that i did not know about. My dog was treated with love and patience and was so busy with exercise and activities, she was like a new dog when i got her home . I just cannot be more appreciative to this sitter for going above and beyond for my dog, who is my ❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ i would give 100 stars if i could . Thanks again for being so kind and attentive to my dog”
“Robynn was amazing!! Our dogs had an awesome time. We received great communication and photos/videos. It was such a relief to know that our dogs were in such good care while we were away. We will definitely be working with Robynn again”
“Linda and George took amazing care of my pup. They sent update photos everyday and even took my pup out and about, which he loved every second of it! I would 1000% recommend them for any type of dog sitting and I know my pup can’t wait for the next trip back!”
“Bebe was wonderful! She took great care of my pup, Winnie and treated her as if she were her own. I had no doubt that Winnie was in good hands, which really helped to put my mind at ease while I was away. She was extremely flexible with pickup and drop off times and made communication very easy. She also sent lots of pictures of their outings. I'll definitely be using Bebe in the future!”
“Lyn and family took such great care of our dog while we went on vacation. I appreciated them keeping us in the loop as to how she was doing. It was nice to know she was in good hands.”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Both of our dogs absolutely adored their time with Jackie and her family, our pups miss them already. Every day we received plenty of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious they were being loved, spoiled with attention, and enjoying lots of playtime. They came home happy, healthy, and tired from all the fun. We’re so grateful for the incredible care and will definitely be booking again!”
“Keith was a great host for my Frenchie Nugget. He does interviews and asks all questions you could imagine about your dog. Keith took amazing care of him and Nugget felt like he was at home there. I was nervous he wouldn’t do well but he did great thanks to Keith. 10/10 would and will book again.”
“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.”
“This was our first stay with Justine and Brett. They watched my 13 year old Golden for 4 days. Everything from initial contact with Justine, to picking up my pup later than expected after a flight delay of three hours, went very smoothly. She sent pictures to me while I was away…gave morning medication, and stayed in touch throughout the time I was gone. KC will definitely go back the next time mom needs to leave town. 😊🐶. Thank you Justine and Brett!”
“My dog sitter Fanny was wonderful! She was very communicative throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind, and I could tell my puppy was in great hands. I would absolutely use her again”
“Michelle and her family took excellent care of my nervous pup. She went above and beyond making him comfortable, giving him lots of walks, and even gave him a bath when he needed it. Would definitely book again!”
“Pallvi and her family are fantastic! This is our second time leaving our two dogs with them and the experience continues to be great. If you or someone you know is looking for a family to look after your furry friends, my wife and I cannot recommend Pallvi and her family enough.”

“Jessica was the perfect person to check in on my cat. First, she responded quickly and courteously to all my communications. Second, she took wonderful care of Bruce following all the instructions I left. She completed the checks on time and created nice reports with pictures and descriptions of how Bruce was doing. My mind was at ease and I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing Jessica was taking care of Bruce…definitely recommend booking her services!”
About: Growing up in a cat family, I’ve been loving and caring for cats my whole life! While learning how to write cursive in school, I was learning to scoop cat litter at home. Friends and family have relied on me to check in on their cats daily during their trips, and do everything to make sure the kitties have everything they need as well as keeping them company. I also have experience caring for and walking friends’ and families’ pups. As a college student in the city, I’m super familiar with the area! I’m off for the summer and ready to take on some work with Chicago’s lovely pets. I am very familiar with meeting new cats and dogs- adjusting my behavior based on the animal’s level of comfort with me. I’m super patient and love to spend time caring for (and playing with) the best fluffballs!!
“Erika was great! She was so attentive with my cats. I've had her watch multiple times and I always get lots of updates and photos. She goes above and beyond. Thank you & I look forward to the next time!”
“Mary was wonderful with both our cats. I was a little apprehensive as one of our cats has to have medicine transdermally and runs from us. Mary was able to give it to her on both days. Thank you.”
“7th visit in 2nd year using Cynthia, as always the best care you could hope for. Great service is not always hard to find it's right here with Cynthia, Go for it you won't be sorry!! 5 stars”

Whatever is needed to be provided throughout the day to your family, it will be delivered as if they were my own. Due to my firefighter shift schedule I typically have entire, unbroken days where I am 100% available to dedicate my time and energy to your furry family members.

I am currently on summer break from university, so I have a lot more free time. I am available on weekdays after 11 and weekends I have full availability. Once I return to school in late August, my schedule will change slightly. I’ll be available on weekdays after 1:30 PM and on Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. If I happen to get out of class early, I may also be available before 1:30 on some days. Safety is my top priority. I treat every pet as my own, maintaining a calm, clean, and safe environment. Ahead of time, I ask about any triggers your pet may have and make sure we walk in comfortable environments.
“I'm so blesses to have met Suzanne! I call her his Auntie Suzie. She knows how to give you fur baby the TLC he or she needs, even when they become sick and old. She knows how to manage complex doggie care on her own. AND give you a very thorough report on how her visits go. She's family. Will no doubt be the same for you!”

“We are so impressed with Brooke and the wonderful care she provided for our pup, Bob! She is sweet, reliable, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future. We highly recommend Brooke to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets!”
“Vicki was absolutely amazing with our diabetic cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Giving insulin and caring for a diabetic pet requires experience, patience, and attention to detail, and Vicki handled everything with confidence and compassion. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our cat’s well-being and treated him like one of her own. Knowing our cat was in such capable, loving hands allowed us to truly relax on our trip. We highly recommend Vicki to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and caring pet sitter, especially if your pet has special medical needs. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

I have experience training dogs and have exceptional patience in every aspect of pet care. Starting in August, I will be available as my availability states (if something looks different from the days you need, let's chat!)

I am good with slow introductions for anxious animals, and proficient with acclimating and calming down hyper animals. I have excellent skill in reading animals’ body language and curating according responses.
“Megan was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond in caring for our cats and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly cared about making sure everything was perfect. It's obvious she genuinely loves animals, and they loved her right back. We came home to happy cats and a well-cared-for home, which means the world to us. I wouldn't hesitate to book Megan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and exceptional sitter. Thank you, Megan, for everything!”

“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 were greeted warmly for the Meet & Greet by Sammy happily carrying a toy outside to welcome us into Sonia & Greg’s huge backyard. Wow! What a great yard for dogs to run & play in. We immediately felt comforted by Sonia’s kindness and her confidence and experience handling dogs. Our dog truly enjoyed wrestling & playing with Sammy who was exactly as Sonia described him to be. He was the perfect playmate. Thank you Sonia & Greg & Sammy for sending us photos and taking great care of our dog!”
“Both my pups had a great time. She is very good with my anxious pup as well. She communicated and kept us informed the entire stay. Most importantly the pups felt safe and comfortable with her.”

“Maria has been a LIFE SAVER for me. I work full time in Chicago and I needed someone who was able to take my dog M-F but I didn't want to bring my dog to an impersonal day care. That's when I found Maria. I really love that Oliver (my dog) is safe in Maria's home and also able to go to the dog park everyday. When I pick him up he is a very happy and tired dog! I could not have asked for a better situation and we consider Maria part of the family. She treats my dog as if he was her own and for that I am so thankful.”

“We were visiting the area for a conference and wanted to have Bailey close so that she knew we'd come back for her. It takes a while to hear back from the caretaker, and I didn't get photos. However, our Bailey girl seemed just fine when we picked her up, which was a HUGE relief. The separation anxiety was there, but it was not as severe as I had anticipated. . When we come up next year, we will reach out to Barbara again!”

I pretty much work from home and have a 4 year old Golden Retreiver named Jax so our routine is already made for a dog. I have a fenced in back yard. Your dog will have a playmate in Jax. I enjoy going out and playing fetch with Jax although he's not much of a fetch guy. He enjoys me faking like I'm going to chase him and then he gets the zoomies and runs around the yard like a crazy boy.

About: I grew up around a variety of animals my whole life and I have been caring for others pets since I was 13 years old. I have always loved animals and treat everyone's pets as if they were my own. My senior year of high school I created my senior project around therapy dogs and helping special needs children. I trained my own dog to be a certified therapy dog through the organization known as Pet Partners. The remainder of the project was visiting with special needs children and doing educational activities. We also visited libraries and young children with developing their reading skills. I recently graduated from Purdue University with an Animal Science degree which has allowed me to gain even more knowledge on how to care for people's pets. I also have knowledge of animal CPR and first aid for cats and dogs. I'm looking forward to being apart of this pet care community and providing excellent care to all the pets I encounter.

“Kassandra is marvelous! She's friendly, kind, and very reliable. My dogs adore her! She's been a great help while I've been recovering from surgery; her dog walking has made Birdie and Gracie so much happier and calmer. I would use her services again in a minute!”
About: Hi my name is Samantha but my friends call me Sami! I have grown up with and cared for dogs, cats, and exotic animals my entire life! I have been doing Rover for couple of years now. My love and passion of caring for animals lead me to becoming a Veterinary Technician at an Animal Hospital in Bloomingdale. I have experience giving oral and injection/SQF medication administration. I can provide nail trims and basic grooming if pet allows. I have worked with 2week old puppies/kittens to senior dogs and cats I work a 7am-5:30pm (sometimes varies on time during the week) Tuesday-Saturday sometimes have 1 day off throughout the week. I have 1 hour lunch breaks. I am always off Sundays and Mondays. FOR OVERNIGHTS- Morning walks, lunch break potty break if close enough to get back to work on time, then after work there for the night. I provide lots of outdoor time for energetic dogs, as well as cats if they have leash trained. Willing to take your pet on trail walks or there favorite dog park. I can provide chew toys, kongs, frozen and dry treats (unless there's an allergy restriction) , and puzzles that will stimulate there minds. *I do not offer off-leash services. If we are leaving your property or fenced in area a leash will be required for safety purposes. *I do not offer constant care at this time. At this time for House Sitting- I only take dogs that are able to be alone for 6-8 hours as I have work throughout the day. *Require a meet and greet with any new clients for safety purposes. As well as to get to know you, your home, and most importantly your pets. I only book 3 months out at a time, if you are planning to be away far in advanced, I would absolutely hold your spot until it gets closer to your departure date.

“I can’t speak highly enough about Shalyn, Joe, and their family. We went away for an extended period of time and were adamant about finding the perfect dog sitter for our girl Lucy, and that’s exactly what we found. From the moment they took her in, they made Lucy part of their family. Not to mention, she found a new best friend in their German Shepherd, Sadie. Every single day, I received photos and videos of them playing nonstop. It was incredibly heartwarming, and I couldn’t have been happier knowing Lucy was in such loving and capable hands. Just to put things in perspective, Shalyn, Joe, and family are about a 40 minute drive from our home, but they will always be our go to whenever we need care for Lucy. Thank you so much for everything. You are sincerely the best.”
“Our dog Marty had a wonderful stay at Maria’s house. He was all smiles when we picked him up. I would recommend Maria to anyone who likes their dog to have fun interacting with other dogs.”
“Jessica watched Chloe on short notice when an other Rover lady backed out at the last minute. She really enjoyed her stay and we will be using the service again. She has a perfect set-up and both she and her husband are dog lovers.”
“Linda and George took amazing care of my pup. They sent update photos everyday and even took my pup out and about, which he loved every second of it! I would 1000% recommend them for any type of dog sitting and I know my pup can’t wait for the next trip back!”
“Lyn and family took such great care of our dog while we went on vacation. I appreciated them keeping us in the loop as to how she was doing. It was nice to know she was in good hands.”
“This was our first stay with Justine and Brett. They watched my 13 year old Golden for 4 days. Everything from initial contact with Justine, to picking up my pup later than expected after a flight delay of three hours, went very smoothly. She sent pictures to me while I was away…gave morning medication, and stayed in touch throughout the time I was gone. KC will definitely go back the next time mom needs to leave town. 😊🐶. Thank you Justine and Brett!”
“Matt and Michelle took great care of our 2.5 year old Mae again! They treated her like family and she had a great frolicking with their family dogs and visiting guest dogs. Very accommodating with some minor changes to our plans. Thank you!”
“Lauryn took wonderful care of Marshmallow! Marshmallow came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. We truly appreciate her kindness and professionalism. I highly recommend Lauryn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you so much! ❤️🐾”
“Amberly was super accommodating and was a lifesaver when our sitter canceled last minute, and our pup had so much fun playing that she slept like a rock when we brought her home! Also she took amazing photos of our pup as an added plus :)”
“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!”
“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. It was clear that Bruno was not only well looked after but also genuinely happy and comfortable in her care. I would highly recommend Prithvi to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate dog boarder. She truly treats your pet like her own.”
“My mini Doxie is definitely anxious and sensitive and I always feel nervous leaving him with someone. Not only was Beans comfortable but I was made to feel confident with all the pictures and videos throughout the stay! Would definitely use Yaqi again!”
“Amanda & Anton are both so amazing to work with! They have a lot of great experience with various types of dogs and got my dog assimilated into their clan seamlessly. I was very impressed as my dog is often mopey whenever I leave and has had issues with some dogs and cats in the past. The got him to be part of the family in less than 24 hours and he has a great weekend away! My dog is also special needs and has a lot of food allergies. They did a great job handling all his various medications and feeding routine. Their attention to detail and care for his needs made me feel better to leave him for the weekend and I felt very confident that he was in good hands.”
“Ruben was great with Pip. I really appreciated getting photos and videos of Pip getting acclimated to the environment and other dogs since it was his first time w Ruben!”
“Dorothy is amazing and we couldn’t recommend her enough. She took the time to get to know my pup and her needs, and sent many updates while we were away. We are happy to have found someone we trust so much!”
“Lori and her boys are amazing. My puppy loves staying at their place. She takes such good care of him that I have never had to think twice about leaving him at her place. She sends regular updates and pictures. Lori is also very flexible about drop off and pick up times, which I greatly appreciate. My puppy shows no hestitation in going to their place. That itself is an indicator that they take very good care of him. ”
“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.”
“Sonia provided us with pics and texts to allow us to keep up with how Misha was handling being left home when we needed to travel out of state. Misha who is housebroken and loves all human contact, didn't accept being left behind and presented Sonia with challenges that we never anticipated, taking out her unhappiness on her. Sonia rose to the challenge questioning us on how to handle her behaviors and ruling out any suspected health issues as causes. Misha was well cared for and I have no reservations recommending Sonia as a dog boarder.”
