“I will forever be booking with sunshine, our dog Tyson was right at home with her and her family. We loved receiving all the pictures and messages letting us know how he was doing.”
“Heather took care of our dog Mars for 8 days, and we had such a great experience. She sent updates every morning and evening with lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Mars clearly had the best time playing with the kids, going on walks, and enjoying the backyard. It really felt like he was part of the family. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave him and will definitely be booking with Heather and her family again this summer!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we were pretty nervous because of some of the stories you hear, but after meeting Lucy we felt completely at ease. She is such a kind and genuine person that we instantly trusted her with our St. Bernard Millie. Millie can be semi reactive around other dogs, so knowing that Lucy has experience with dogs like her really eased our worries. Throughout the stay she kept us updated with photos and videos and made sure Millie was happy, active, and well cared for. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter.”
“Rachel was exactly what I needed for my dog. She had open and detailed communication with me the whole time, from booking to pick up. My dog came home happy and healthy. What an incredible weight off while I was out of town to know my girl was well cared for. Would definitely book again.”
“Kim has watched our dogs several times and it’s always been an easy and excellent experience! She’s great with our senior who’s a bit more laid back and our golden retriever puppy who loves to play.”
“This is the second time we have entrusted Peaches to the care of this wonderful family, and we are just as pleased as the first time—Peaches clearly is as well. We are truly grateful to have found them. Their warmth and attentiveness toward Peaches is remarkable. They are the ideal caregivers anyone could find!!”
“Jennifer was great! We got pics all along of our two pups and could tell they were having a great time & felt right at home, which allowed us to enjoy our trip so much more. Thank you!”
“Jennifer was great and we will certainly use her again. She communicates regularly and really loves our dogs. This is the first time we used an app to find someone to take care of our pups. It will not be the last. If I could give more than five stars, I would!”
About: I have cared for dogs from shelters as well as senior dogs. Now I have a puppy who is 2 years old! I am pretty consistent with giving walks, play time, bathroom breaks, and meals. I also offer transportation services! I have quite a lot of free time as a full time nursing student! I’m outside everyday with my dog! I would love to find some doggy friends for my pup!

I also have access to a number of outdoor fields for the dogs to play, a beach, dog play areas and more!
“We appreciated the updates letting us know our dog was having a fun time during his stay! Great communication. It always means a lot to know our dog is being well cared for. Already booked a second stay!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Jennifer! She took wonderful care of my dog, treating them like family. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It’s hard to find someone you can truly trust with your fur baby, but Jennifer went above and beyond. I will definitely be booking again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Once again Veronique has exceeded my expectations. Was my second time having her watch my dog Jimmie. She is wonderful and she has demonstrated her passion and expertise for canine care, by taking excellent care of my dog, and by sending me numerous photos and videos of Jimmie during her many long walks in parks and forest perserves which my dog loves. I did not worry a bit with Veronique in charge. Jimmie had a super great time playing with her two dogs. I highly recommend her for dog sitting and grooming.”
“We wanted to express our sincere appreciation for your exceptional care of my anxious dog while we were on vacation. It was a relief knowing you kept him comfortable and safe, especially with his anxiety. We also really appreciated you keeping him separate from your cat due to my daughter's allergies – it showed a real dedication to his well-being and consideration for my family. The updates and photos you sent were so reassuring. Thanks again for going above and beyond! Will definitely take Cody back on our next vacation😊”
“Quincy had a blast during his sleepover at Jacob’s! Quincy has saparation anxiety and usually gets stressed out when we leave him but it was clear that he was happy and well rested when we picked him up from Jacob’s place. We love Jacob’s attention to detail as well as he was asking all the right questions during our meet and greet.”
“Kim, You are the best! I knew when I picked up Buddy and he didn’t want to leave I found the best sitter for him. I would recommend everyone bring there fury children to you.”
“1st time leaving our puppy for an extended period of time (8 days/7 nights). Florence kept us updated with text and videos. She took great care of our baby and treated her like her own. We had a great Spring break and so did our C.C.”

“Isabella did a great job caring for my two boys while I was away for a few days. She checked in daily with updates and adorable pictures - it was clear my babies took to her immediately which gave me such peace of mind. She was kind enough to water my balcony full of plants for me and kept the house super tidy, I could barely tell she was here it was so nice. Thank you Isabella for being so amazing!”
“I’ve used Jessika’s services a few times now and she’s always been so amazing with my boys. I genuinely get sad when she’s not available to watch them because they just adore her and are so comfortable with her. She gives them lots of attention and leaves very helpful visit notes so I know exactly what’s going on when I’m gone. I highly highly recommend her for anyone who needs a pet sitter!”
“Teri is so mindful and loving .Our cats took to her right away.And she also took care to have all litter areas neat , food and water aplenty.We felt a huge relief when we came home and saw how happy our cats were . We are all looking forward to booking with her again!”
“Stephanie has been great! This is the second time she's watched my greyhound Chuck in 3 weeks now. She's very communicative and even once was able to change his food on the fly (he's having some belly issues) while I was out of town. She has the utmost concern for the animal's well being. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be booking again.”

About: Hi! While your gone away you can be sure your dog will get the love and care of a full family, we are up at 7am for a health breakfast and by 9 we’re out to hike a 1.5 mile trail full of wild life and beautiful views for your pup to see and experience. By 11 we’re back home for a bit of rest before lunch. Then comes nap time! The long walk usually tires the doggies out. After a few hrs they are up again for more playtime, usually hands on with the family, games like tug and fetch. This leads us to dinner around 6 and a bit more attention before our 8:30 bed time. Every day your pup is with us is an adventure they will be sure to enjoy just as much as the vacation your taking! My wife works from home and I walk dogs and manage the boarding 24/7. It’s always been a dream job if mine to be able to spend all day taking care of dogs and now I’m finally living that dream! I have a huge fenced in yard but the dogs will only be out there to use the bathroom. Maybe later in the day for some fetch but mostly the dogs will be inside with us. Also our morning walk is about 1-2 hrs long and that take a lot out of the dogs leaving them easy to manage most of the rest of the day.
“First time leaving our dog with a sitter. Whole family was a little apprehensive, since we didn't know what to expect with how our dog would behave. Florence kept us updated with text, pictures and videos. We felt at ease to see that our baby looked comfortable, behaving and getting along well with Florence's dog. We were also glad to see that she was safe and happy. Thank you Florence for taking great care of CC!”
About: Together, Julian and I have a long history of taking care of pets. I've taken care of dogs (of all sizes) since I was very young, as well as Cats. My family has always owned large breeds (Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Great Pyrenees', etc.) but also have experience with medium/small dogs. Julians family has also had dogs his whole life, and he has played a care-taker role both for his parents dogs and for our 2 Chihuahua mix dogs named Theo & Honey. Julian and I both have experience with dog walking, and giving medication as well. My childhood Golden Retriever had several health issues in the past (allergies, skin issues, special diet, etc.) so I have been used to giving many different kinds of medications for many years. Your dog will be safe with us, and treated/loved like they are one of our own! Both of our schedules are very flexible and open to meet your pet care needs. As I am currently unemployed, I have a lot of time on my hands. We both have open availability during the upcoming months, perfect time to book with us for your upcoming vacations and travels. Please see our calendar for further availability. If you have any specific questions, feel free to reach out to us. We currently have 2 small dogs and a cat at home that are super friendly.

We'd be happy to play outside, play inside, and do whatever we can to make your pet feel happy and comfortable! We'd also be happy to discuss your pet's needs before walking or dropping in for a visit.
“Diamond was a life saver. I am a travel nurse and had new puppy Rose. My assignment demanded last minute changes and working all shifts. Diamond was there for me through it all. She took very loving exceptional care of Rose. Rose loves her. We will greatly miss her as we move on to my next assignment. Wish I could pack up Diamond and take her with me. We were very lucky to have her!”

I'm experienced with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, handling everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. Your dog's comfort and safety are my top priorities. Caring for pets involves daily walks for dogs, consistent feeding schedules, regular litter box cleaning, dedicated playtime, routine grooming, and vigilant health checks to ensure they remain happy and healthy. Whether in my home or a client's, I ensure pets have safe spaces, consistent routines, and plenty of attention, while closely following the owner's instructions.

About: I grew up with friends referring to my home as a zoo because we had so many pets! Being responsible for family pets at a young age taught me responsibility and how rewarding it is to care for a furry friend. I grew up to work at the medical center of an animal shelter and learned the skills to work with young to senior pets, outgoing and shut down, in n good health and poor. I treat my dog like my kid and will do the same for your pet I'm currently a full time parent to facilitate taking my son to various therapy appointments which allows a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I remember the stress of being at work and worrying about how long my senior dog had been home alone. I would love to help remove that stress from your life. I'm very particular about a sitter following instructions on how to care for my pup to make sure he is as safe and happy as possible. On walks I always ask other person parents to give us space to avoid any unnecessary negative interactions. Any instructions or preferences you have for your pet will be followed to the letter!
About: I grew up with dogs and have spent the past eight years caring for and dog sitting pups of all sizes and personalities. I have looked after pets for friends and family and always treat every dog as if they were my own with patience, love, and plenty of attention. I am more than happy to host multiple pets at the same time when they come from the same household. I have a lot of time to spend with your pup, which means I can provide plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

I keep a close eye on pets at all times and make sure they’re in a clean, secure, and loving environment. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own.
“Isabella is the only person I would trust with my fur baby! You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and is so kind and helpful! My pup tends to be on wild side and has really poor leash manners. She is so patient with him and teaches him to walk nicely. I could not recommend her enough! Such an amazing person!”
About: Worked at a few veterinary hospitals when I was younger. Pet sitting fits my busy mom life and I adore it. Super comfortable with any kind of animal and able to administer medication (even i.v) properly. Also able to recognize any signs of illness or injury in pets while you are out. This is all I do. Giving these pets all of my attention and professionalism is part of my everyday routine. Knowing they are with someone like me will make your day easy. I’ll care for your pets in your own home. This way they are very comfortable in their own environment. Safety and affection are my priorities while they are in my care. Whether it’s a potty break or a walk or even just a check in, they’ll know they are cared for.
About: I am a firm believer that our pets are our family, and each individual pet deserves individual care, respect and love! I am meticulous with details and ensure that a beloved pet’s routine is kept as consistent as possible under my care. I’ve owned cats since I was 8yrs old, and also had hermit crabs, Leopard geckos, and tarantulas. My family never had space for a dog, so I walked and played with my neighbors dogs while growing up. Once I reached my 20s, I’ve volunteered for years at no-kill shelters back in TN, trained on how to clean, socialize and care for dogs. I have just moved to Northern Illinois and wasn’t able to transfer my job up here. So I want to make my job caring for your family! I am available Saturday - Wednesday. I am very detail oriented and respect every pet owner’s instructions and wishes to the letter. Pets deserve consistency with their established routines! In the absence of instructions or an emergency, I have years of hands-on pet care to fall back on and use reliable judgement so your pet will always receive the best care possible.
About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to independent cats. I am comfortable caring for senior pets, ensuring they get the proper attention and care they need- as long as instructions can be provided to maintain routines and medical needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing gentle care, companionship, and a safe environment. Wether it’s keeping up with a puppy, a shy cat, or providing extra comfort for an aging pet, I would be honored to be trusted with your furry family members. I currently am a full time Software Engineering student at Loyola University! Currently, most of my coursework is online other than Tuesdays and Thursdays. This limits my availability on those days for additional pet care. My flexible online schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week, ensuring they receive attention and care they deserve. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, playtimes, and check-ins, making pet care a natural and enjoyable part of my routine. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment for all animals in my care. My home has a large yard with fencing where I can comfortably walk one’s pet outdoors while remaining safe. I have two cats and one dog in the home, so I do carefully manage introductions and limit interactions if needed to ensure all pets are comfortable. For dogs, I can crate or pen if needed, providing them with personal space, or allow them to roam safely on a leash outside while ensuring they are well cared for inside. For cats, I prioritize an stress-free environment, providing personal space and ensuring quiet areas to retreat to. I understand feline body languages and can understand shy, playful, or independent cats to ensure their comfort.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a little girl. As a kid I would scoop up tadpoles from a small pond and try to raise them. One day while play in the woods I found an abandoned kitten and brought her home. We named her Grace and took care of her until she was adopted. Our pet growing up was a pug named Kenya. She had a litter of 3 pups which I cared for until they were adopted. Currently I am a proud owner of a male goldendoodle named Crispy who I walk everyday rain or shine! He is a emotional support animal who is such an essential part of my mental health. My day job is a program coordinator. I connect veterans with community resources to help improve their quality of life. I guess you could say that I am a person who cares for all life. I am pretty flexible. I am currently available mornings and afternoons, and I am available for boarding as well. I am also available on weekends if needed. Pets safety is highly important. I do not have a fenced in yard however I walk my dog multiple times a day securely on a leash. I always make sure that the leash is secured before opening the door. I will do the same for your precious animal

For the past two years I worked in a dog grooming salon so I’ve worked professionally with dogs and know how to take care of them pretty well. I’m working a part time job right now so my schedule usually depends one the day. I’m usually free after 4 on the weekdays and free on the weekends it just depends on the day. I have a fenced backyard so they won’t be able to get out and if i’m at a clients home i’ll watch them extra closely.
About: I have a love for animals, if you're thinking I'm sure everyone says that but for me it's so true. Not only do I love caring for pets. I've even helped my neighborhood with feral cats and getting them the help the deserve. Look up on Facebook Winthrop Harbor Wild Cats! What does that mean for you? I'm passionate about caring for animals means I will love on and treat your special friend just as you would! My work is flexible and mostly at home. I like to go on walks daily which would fit perfectly for any pup looking for exercise! We have a large yard for easy potty breaks. I have two young children that wear out anyone willing to play. We have a medium crate if needed and a full basement with playroom.

“I will forever be booking with sunshine, our dog Tyson was right at home with her and her family. We loved receiving all the pictures and messages letting us know how he was doing.”
“Heather took care of our dog Mars for 8 days, and we had such a great experience. She sent updates every morning and evening with lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Mars clearly had the best time playing with the kids, going on walks, and enjoying the backyard. It really felt like he was part of the family. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave him and will definitely be booking with Heather and her family again this summer!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we were pretty nervous because of some of the stories you hear, but after meeting Lucy we felt completely at ease. She is such a kind and genuine person that we instantly trusted her with our St. Bernard Millie. Millie can be semi reactive around other dogs, so knowing that Lucy has experience with dogs like her really eased our worries. Throughout the stay she kept us updated with photos and videos and made sure Millie was happy, active, and well cared for. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter.”
“Rachel was exactly what I needed for my dog. She had open and detailed communication with me the whole time, from booking to pick up. My dog came home happy and healthy. What an incredible weight off while I was out of town to know my girl was well cared for. Would definitely book again.”
“Kim has watched our dogs several times and it’s always been an easy and excellent experience! She’s great with our senior who’s a bit more laid back and our golden retriever puppy who loves to play.”
“This is the second time we have entrusted Peaches to the care of this wonderful family, and we are just as pleased as the first time—Peaches clearly is as well. We are truly grateful to have found them. Their warmth and attentiveness toward Peaches is remarkable. They are the ideal caregivers anyone could find!!”
“Jennifer was great! We got pics all along of our two pups and could tell they were having a great time & felt right at home, which allowed us to enjoy our trip so much more. Thank you!”
“Jennifer was great and we will certainly use her again. She communicates regularly and really loves our dogs. This is the first time we used an app to find someone to take care of our pups. It will not be the last. If I could give more than five stars, I would!”
“Mary and Norm are the best! This was my dog’s first time staying with someone that wasn’t a friend or family so I was a little nervous. Mary sent me updates and pictures the whole time I was away and that put my mind and heart at ease. She was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to my messages. They are a wonderful couple and I wouldn’t want my dog staying with anyone else in the future . Highly recommend!!”
“We had a great experience with Norma. She is very capable and flexible. She was able to give me piece of kind while she cared for our large dog. She did a great job sending updates, photos and videos. I would highly recommend Norma and will have her watch my dog again.”
“We went on a 12-day vacation and were worried about our dog's experience while we were gone. We are glad we found Ryan. He did a wonderful job caring for our sweet girl and she came back with a classy new cut (he is also a groomer). Thanks Ryan!”
“Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Jennifer! She took wonderful care of my dog, treating them like family. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It’s hard to find someone you can truly trust with your fur baby, but Jennifer went above and beyond. I will definitely be booking again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Once again Veronique has exceeded my expectations. Was my second time having her watch my dog Jimmie. She is wonderful and she has demonstrated her passion and expertise for canine care, by taking excellent care of my dog, and by sending me numerous photos and videos of Jimmie during her many long walks in parks and forest perserves which my dog loves. I did not worry a bit with Veronique in charge. Jimmie had a super great time playing with her two dogs. I highly recommend her for dog sitting and grooming.”
“Kim, You are the best! I knew when I picked up Buddy and he didn’t want to leave I found the best sitter for him. I would recommend everyone bring there fury children to you.”
“I was looking for a last minute sitter and found Lizarea on the Rover App. She was so kind and sweet. Very attentive to Oakleys needs like how often he's fed or how often he needs to be taken outside. Oakley felt right at home and was able to get comfortable. It was great to get photo updates, I really loved it! I would highly recommend Lizarea! She's absolutely great ^_^”
