I would recommend her highly to anyone and would for sure bring my guy back again. Thanks so much Svetlana!”
“Darla and Greg dog-sat my 11yr old collie/shepherd mix, Cooper, while I was away for the weekend. They were great at communicating, punctual and easy to work with! They sent pictures of cooper every day along with updates on how the stay was going. They really took a lot of stress off my mind knowing Cooper was in the hands of two total dog lovers. Cooper has a hard time on stairs lately and you guys went above and beyond making sure he was safe going up and down. Thank you again so much, would 10/10 recommend and use in the future!”
“Lauren and her family took such good care of our dog Sawyer! This was our first time being away from our puppy so we were worried she was going to be scared, but she had so much fun playing with their dog Zoe while we were away.

Our dog, August, is a high energy guy that needs lots of stimulation and Sandra and Sorin did a lot of activities to support August while we were gone. They provided daily updates and communication. I would highly recommend Sandra and Sorin.”

“Andrew was fantastic with our cats, and knowing they were in such good hands really allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation. We have a 1 year old and a 20+ year old, and he did a great job giving each what they needed, whether more play or more snuggle time. He sent us daily photos that showed how relaxed and at ease they were with him, and both seemed happy and confident when we arrived home. We plan to use Andrew again for all upcoming trips!”
“the cats are fickle and really prefer that we not take a vacation!! They were very well cared for. Stephen was prompt and regular for the nights served. The cats did indeed enjoy his presence. Thanks again for your services. SCD”

Her compassion, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals truly saved our little one’s life. We are forever grateful for what she did. she went above and beyond in every way imaginable. It’s rare to find someone as kind and dedicated as Parisa, and we can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. She’s simply amazing”

“Jason stayed at our home with our cat for a week - it was great to know our kitty was so cared for, and that our house was watched over as well. Jason kept in touch all week, and we absolutely loved the pictures he sent each day! We’ll definitely have Jason back next time we travel!”
“Karina always takes great care of our high maintenance (oral meds, supplements in food) super senior kitty. Knowing she’s checking on Schatze really eases my mind about being away.”
“Gail is the best!! She took time to meet up with me beforehand to confirm all details and meet my kitty and she was very responsive, sweet and kind, and she gave my kitty a lot of love and company. My kitty is just as happy and active when I returned home. She is super responsible and even took care of my apartment for me.”
“Kit was incredibly thoughtful and made sure to ask me questions about my pets’ needs that hadn’t even occurred to me to share. She sent lots of pictures and updates on my cats throughout my trip so I knew they were well taken care of. Could not recommend her more!!”
About: My first pets were 2 rats. I took care of them exclusively, bathed them, fed and cleaned up after them. The family cat Simba was mainly my responsibility with occasional help from family, and I would take care of our family dog Bentley when I was home for summers from college. I've helped care for several other animals when babysitting children, and occasionally dog sat overnight for other families over a 3 day weekend period. I've also loved my time volunteering at the local dog shelter where I walk, clean up after, and play with all the dogs up for adoption until they find their forever families. Also enjoyed a 6 week program at a dog shelter in Athens, Greece in 2024! I’m working part and full time depending on the week, but have most availability on weekends and later in the afternoons. Happy to do house sitting as long as the dogs can be alone for up to 6 hours on the days I work! I care for all pets as if they were my own, making sure they have all the attention and care they need and then some.
“We trust and appreciate Adriana, and look forward to reaching out again next time we need care for our cat. She loves animals and is a true professional. Both qualities shine. Thank you!”
“This is Natasha’s second time taking care of my cat, Wab, and he absolutely loves her! She leaves me notes after every visit, with pictures and everything I need to make sure he’s doing ok. She does an amazing job caring for him and playing with him. I will definitely be booking her for my next trip!”
“Julia was great. Asked all the right questions, visited before she sat and took wonderful care of our cat. Great communication and updates. I would absolutely use her again, and recommend her.”

“Kazuhiro and Akemi were fantastic with Bailey as usual. They sent multiple updates and photos all throughout the day. Bailey is given a lot of attention and love. Highly recommend them anytime!”
“Bridget was great and responsive! Our dog was very nervous getting dropped off but Bridget made sure she was calm and comfortable and sent us many updates. Highly recommend.”
“Cynthia did a great job caring for our dog. She was flexible and accommodating and went above and beyond. We were traveling thru town for 3 days and needed a dog sitter. We highly recommend her.”
“I am so blessed to have found her not far from home to watch over my 13 months old high energy puppy. After the first dog sitter he came to crash in his crate. He had no energy to not even jump. As first time dog owner- I have no idea what I’m doing but Jackie sure is a dog whisperer.”
“Naomi & Johann took wonderful care of Javy. I made a last minute, same day request and they came thru. I knew immediately upon dropping Javy off that he would be in good hands. They introduced Javy to their dog, Milo, expertly and they were both affectionate with Javy right away. She sent photos and a video and I could tell Javy was very comfortable & happy. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“My pup has never gone an entire day without one of us over the last two and a half years (I know, I know) but Robby and Nikki were so patient with his anxiety and he had a really fun day. We just found his home away from home ☺️”
“Joerg and Lake were great! They hung out with my dog Sky for an afternoon while I went to a cubs game. Will definitely look them up if back in Chicago in the future.”
“Sandra and her family were wonderful! She sent a video and picture of Bitsy. She also let Bitsy lay across her neck and watch her work. Thank you for being so kind and gentle with my dog. I would highly recommend this family!”
“David was great with our pup Chase. He's usually very shy and slow to warm up to people. However he really took to David and Pinto super quickly. David shared pictures and videos of them playing and sleeping throughout the day. I would definitely recommend him for any dogsitting needs.”
“Robert was amazing watching my dog for the day. He took her on a long walk and she instantly was comfortable with him. He was also flexible when I was a little later to pick her up than expected - thank you Robert!”
“Isabel was wonderful with Piper! She was incredibly responsive and communicative, sent us lots of photos throughout the weekend, and was so flexible and easy to work with. Most importantly, we could tell Piper was treated with so much love and care. Isabel’s Bernese Mountain Dog was super friendly, and the two dogs got along great! We felt completely comfortable having Piper in her care and would absolutely love to use Isabel’s dog-sitting services again. Highly recommend!”
“Claire is a standout. She communicates timely and effectively, is polite and professional, organized and most importantly she is incredible with dogs. Claire documented walks including duration, route and distance, and meals including time, amount of food eaten by each dog. Her feedback on my dogs' personality traits was spot on as well, demonstrating her care and attention. I would wholeheartedly recommend Claire to anyone in need of a trustworthy sitter. THANK YOU, CLAIRE!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and size's. Friends, neighbors, and family often rely on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with senior dogs, energetic puppies, and pets with special routines. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight care, I always treat every pet like my own. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide morning, midday, and evening visits during the week. Weekends are open for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I’m responsible, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands. I live in a pet-friendly apartment that’s clean, safe, and comfortable for your furry friend. I take frequent walks and make sure pets get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I’m very mindful of leash safety, secure entrances, and keeping pets calm in new environments. Whether your dog loves outdoor strolls or prefers cozy naps, I make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for.
About: Hi, I'm Sarah! I've been a trusted 5-star Rover sitter for nearly 10 years but dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! Now that I have a pup of my own, I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust. While I love spending time with dogs, their safety and well-being always come first. Whether we're on a walk, at home, or around other dogs, I'm attentive to their individual needs and make thoughtful decisions to keep them safe and comfortable. I've cared for dogs of all personalities. From shy, fearful pups who need time to build trust, to reactive dogs who require patience and confidence, to happy-go-lucky companions who are just excited to make a new friend. Whether you're away for a weekend, a vacation, or just a night out, I'll treat your dog like they're one of my own and make sure you have peace of mind while you're away! I currently work a part-time full remote job so I am very flexible for timing. For boarding stays, that also means that someone is home 99% of the time! I have a spacious 1,400 sq. ft. apartment in a quiet, walkable neighborhood that's perfect for daily walks. My dog, Zinnia, is friendly, well-socialized, and great at reading other dogs' cues—she knows when to play and when to give space. All interactions are supervised and dogs are never left alone together. If your pup enjoys adventures, I'm happy to take them to the beach, dog park, or other outings with your approval. Zinnia also hates walks so if they require walks they will get me all to themselves!
“Ian had my dog so tired. He sent a ton of photos throughout the day. He also was flexible with me as I just moved to the city and had lots of changes in plans. Thanks so much Ian and I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter!!”
“Ruben made our new venture into Rover very easy. He responds quickly and had availability right away. We are looking forward to Nox continuing to get to know him and open up to his dogs.”

About: I live in Edison Park, but work in McCook/Chicago during the day/week or sometimes from home. I manage my time really well, so I can make anything early in the morning,/on my lunch break work- plus weekends or after work. I have always had dogs my entire life. I grew up with a chocolate lab mix, then when she passed away my family got a three legged black lab and a chesapeake bay retriever. Then, when I was in college, a chocolate lab climbed into my car and after months of trying to find his owners, I decided to keep him. Those puppies have since passed, but our family has 2 giant black labs currently. I’ve also had 4 Guinea Pigs who I loved dearly. I currently work from home part of the time and love four legged angels (sometimes 3, I had a 3 legged dog growing up). I am available in the early mornings, evenings and on the weekends consistently, but can work out weekday daytime availability with advanced notice. I make sure the animals all have the appropriate food/water setups at all times (per owners instructions depending on pet’s specific needs), as well as making sure the temperature is comfortable for the pet. I prioritize exercise and bathroom breaks for each pet. There is never a lack of social interaction when I am around. Pretty much, I view pets as family and think they deserve the best. If they have specific requirements, I will always follow whatever rules the owner requests and talk through any concerns before booking.
“Donna and Stephen have truly been lifesavers over the past few weeks. They are incredibly timely and dependable, and they are always willing to help when they can. I also LOVE receiving multiple photos of my pup enjoying the walk so I know how happy he is to be out with them. Would strongly recommend this wonderful team to walk your furry friend!”
“Don’t book her because I want her to walk my dog every time !!! Haha no but she is great ? very pleased attentive responsible and caring. Ella is a lifesaver and is my go to. Thank you Ella! Hope to continue in the future :)”
About: I love dogs. I am the go to person to take care of my friends and family's dogs when they are out of town. Plus my own dog is super friendly and always game for meeting another dog I work from home full time with a flexible schedule. I am able to do my work and still have time to take care of my own dog and family at home I have 2 year old lab mix to keep your furry friend(s) company. I have a 5 bedroom house, including a full finished basement, and a gated yard so there's plenty of room for the dogs to hang out
“Jason provides excellent service! He is professional, prompt, and built a great rapport with our sweet dog. We all had a great week knowing Jason was taking care of our pup. I highly recommend Jason!”
About: I’ve had a dog before and currently have three cats, Berlioz, Toulouse, and Gnocchi. Besides eating and napping, they enjoy going on walks on their wagon. I believe this sets me apart from the others because it shows how above and beyond I’ll go for a pet. In addition to walking dogs and cats, I have also cat sat and dog sat a few times! I am currently working a part-time job where I work later in the day, so I am available most mornings and afternoons. I am available all weekends at anytime. Like I have said, I have three cats of my own. Therefore, I would handle your pet the way I would want another pet sitter/walker to handle my fur babies, with love and care.
“Parisa is wonderful! My dog loves her and she has been consistent and ready for each of our interactions. She communicates quickly and I trust her with my best friend!”
“I felt really at ease and happy with Nicholas. This was the first time me using Rover and I was very pleased with the outcome and with Nicholas. Thank you!”
“Ryann was great with our puppy who has tons of energy and can be a handful at times! She sent plenty of updates and was very respectful and responsive in communications. Definitely will book again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have spent the past few years helping care for all sorts of fur babies ! I’ve helped with dog walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m obsessed with all fur babies and I’m very comfortable handling all sizes and all breeds! We don’t discriminate😆 I am super accommodating! I love going on walks and how cute to have a little companion to get my steps in with! Over the years I’ve learned how important patience, consistency, and love are when it comes to caring for animals. I always make sure every fur baby feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every single one like they’re my own.
“Stephen is an incredible dog sitter and walker! He is incredibly professional, caring and attentive. We loved getting photos of our dog after each visit - both action shots and close ups. We are grateful for Stephen's attention to detail, professionalism and care.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was 13, and watching dogs since I was 10! I love all animals, of all sizes and temperaments! I’m currently working about 20 hours a week, so I have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings, as well as Sunday/Monday completely free! My roommates currently foster cats with chronic illnesses, that are kept in their room and away from any possible visitors! We have plenty of space, and lots of access to good walking routes.
