Highly-rated overnight sitters - Oakbrook
“Patricia was an AMAZING dog sitter for the weekend . She took such good care of our 2 yo golden doodle . She listened to our dogs needs and treated him like her own . She sent lots of updates which I loved too. It was so nice to not have to worry about my dog being cared for while away.”
“This was our first time using Rover. We are so pleased with everything. The Stamms are so nice and took great care of Charlie. They sent us updates and pictures during his stay. He was very happy and relaxed when we picked him up! Usually we get the cold shoulder and ignored when we bored him… but not this time! We will definitely be booking with the Stamms in the future. It’s so refreshing and reassuring knowing our pet is safe and taken care of when we are out of town.”
“Hailey was great She seems to be dedicated to animal care and she went over and beyond what one would expect from a dog sitter She bathed both dogs and even trimmed their toenails at no extra charge . She is well supplied with all the tools she needs to provide a comfortable and safe environment for your pet. I would highly recommend her to watch your pet if you want to make sure they are well taken care of by a knowledgeable professional.”
“Tammi is fantastic. This was my first experience using Rover and I truly can’t recommend her enough. She made me feel relaxed and I know my dog had the best weekend ever. She sent me photos and texts as well, which was greatly appreciated. Tammi knows and really REALLY understands dogs. You can trust her with your fur baby! ?”
“Rachel is the epitome of a dog lover. She is our go-to when we need someone we trust to watch our pup, who has such a great time while he’s hanging out and makes all kinds of friends. Rachel is so accommodating with our spoiled guy. We will continue to use Rachel again and again. ❤️”
“Amanda and Mike were super welcoming and we felt very comfortable leaving Dolly with them for the weekend! They have two labs of their own which made me confident they knew how to handle our high energy girl. They sent lots of pictures and Dolly seemed to have a great time!”
“**Review for Jamie:** Jamie was fantastic! She watched our dog Sarge for a full week and did an amazing job. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which made us feel completely comfortable and at ease while we were away. Sarge clearly had a great time too. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“I think my boy, Ody, is happier at Karen’s home than he is anywhere else! She spends so much time playing with him and giving him love that he is always excited to go back. Highly recommended!”
“Angel was great watching my dog! She provided pictures throughout boarding as well as updates on how he was doing. It helped relieve a lot of stress with leaving my dog for the first time.”
“Jessica and her husband were amazing! Left our babies with them for a week while we went to visit family, and they regularly updated us/checked in. Will 100000% use them in the future if the opportunity comes up! 🔝”
“Leeann was great! She sent us updates with pictures and took amazing care of our little pup. We were happy to know she had fun and met new doggy friends in the meantime.”
“I was nervous about trying Rover because I had never used this service or left my dog at a person’s house before while on vacation. This was my first experience, Elizabeth was fantastic! You can tell she loves dogs, she sent pictures everyday of Pepe playing with her other dogs. I think Pepe really bonded with Eliza, I didn’t know how he would do, but it couldn’t have gone better…. I will definitely be calling Eliza again. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to watch Pepe:)”
“Hayley was fantastic! Setting up a meet and greet was incredibly easy, and she was so accommodating and friendly right off the bat. She has a very calm, friendly, and grounding presence that our dog took to immediately. Everything went perfectly while we were away, and she was excellent at communicating, sending photos, and she followed all of our routines perfectly. It gave us so much peace of mind to know our Stanley was in such good hands. We would definitely book with Hayley again without hesitation!”
“Jane was great Penny. We really appreciated her pictures and it looked like Penny really enjoyed her time with Jane. Would recommend and definitely will use her again!!”
“Such an amazing experience! Our dogs loved being there they got a spa day! And a nice hike in they were definitely worn out when they got home which I loved coming back from a trip! Drop off and pick up was very easy. We absolutely will book them again.”
“Milo stayed with Laura for the first time and it seems like he had a great time! She was great about sending updates on how Milo was doing and acclimating to his new environment. We know Milo has a safe, comfortable place to stay!”
“Rebecca was wonderful with Fiona! She kept us updated with photos and messages, took great care of her, and made sure she was comfortable and happy. We really appreciated her kindness and attention to detail. We would definitely recommend her and book with her again! ❤️”

“Tiarra was such a phenomenal caregiver for our cats! We so enjoyed receiving detailed reports and pictures of our kitties. Tiarra responded quickly to any messages or requests. Her spunk and kindness made us assured that taking care of our kitties was truly her pleasure! We will be permanent customers of Tiarra’s for as long as we can! Thank you Tiarra!”
“This is the fourth time Alyssa has watched my pet while I’ve been out of town. I recommend her, she is on time, honest, and trust worthy. I have had no issues and she makes my vacation time worry free.”
“Brooke was great with my kitty. She came in daily for a week and I could tell Ravi was very comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Brooke to all! This was my first time using Rover and Brooke was very responsive which put me at ease.”
“Kasey and her husband took great care of our 4 kitties while we went out of town. They were so friendly and genuinely seemed happy to get to meet our cats. We knew they would be in great hands! They will definitely be our first choice for pet sitters in the future.”
“Alex was an excellent choice for taking care of our girl. She was reliable, friendly, punctual, and went above and beyond for simple 30-minute drop-ins. It was our first time hiring from a service and she put us completely at ease about having a “stranger” in our home. I have no hesitation about hiring her in the future. Thank you, Alex!”
“This is the first time I’ve used a pet sitter instead of boarding my cat Cali as I felt she would be more comfortable in her own home. I came across the Rover website and booked a sitter close to my home. My cat has an automatic feeder for dry food as well as a water fountain. So, the only “services” I needed were to feed her wet food in the evening and clean the litter box. I met with my sitter, Amy, and explained how to access my home, where to dispose of litter etc. Amy did an excellent job and even went above and beyond to try and get a photo of Cali, who hides from strangers. Thai has been a great experience and I will definitely use Rover and Amy again.”
About: Hi there! I’m Jamie — a lifelong animal lover and proud dog owner of three. I’ve had multiple dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a sweet senior, I treat every dog as part of my family. I can provide daily medication, as well as; have experience in administering fluid bags to my senior pup (RIP). Your fur family will be in loving hands while here. Over the years, I’ve babysat and cared for many friends’ and family members’ pets, making sure each one felt safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners were away. I’ve also had the joy of fostering puppies for a local rescue, helping them grow, learn, and find their forever homes. Those experiences taught me patience, trust-building, and how to adapt to every dog’s unique personality. I work from home, which means your pup will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I start my mornings early, so breakfast, and playtime can begin before most people are even up! This routine allows me to keep dogs on a steady schedule (if required) — with lots of opportunities for cuddles, and check-ins all day long. If your pup requires crating, I have crates available for use. 🐶 What You Can Expect When your dog stays with me, they’ll get: • Plenty of love, cuddles, and playtime • Regular potty breaks, and backyard play • Consistent updates and photos (as needed), so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and safe • A calm, caring environment where your dog is treated just like my own Whether your dog loves playtime, or simply lounging nearby while I work, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. You’ll also get regular updates and photos, so you can rest easy knowing your furry friend is happy and cared for. Caring for dogs isn’t just a hobby — it’s a part of who I am. Being home full-time gives me the perfect chance to share that love and provide reliable, attentive care to others’ pets. Every dog I meet becomes part of my extended “fur family”, and I treat them like my own from the moment they arrive. I can’t rescue them all, but I can help others in this way. Simply put — I love dogs! Being around them brings me joy, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’m here to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. Thank you for entrusting in me.
About: We only take dogs up to 30lbs due to my daughter being afraid of most bigger dogs despite us having one of our own. We will give consideration to dogs over that weight if we feel it’s a good fit. We have recently begun boarding in our home again and have adopted a new goldendoodle Lincoln on 3/22/24. He will be about 60lbs once full grown He’s sweet and full of energy and loves to play with all dogs. I have had my own dogs for about 11 years and have also taken care of friends pets although usually in their own homes.

“Missy was so wonderful with my puppy Corbin! I had zero concerns leaving him in her hands. She was very communicative, followed directions, was respectful of my home, and was detailed in her updates. The photos she included in her updates were the highlight of my day! I could tell she really enjoyed her time with him and he was having fun and felt safe with her. Thank you so much, Missy!!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Oakbrook
“Leeann was amazing with a last minute booking and being so flexible on drop off and pick up times. Thank you for finding a calm room for her to stay where she was comfortable too!”
“We appreciate Amanda and Mike watching our Golden for a couple of days while we visited the Ark and the Creation Museum. They were very friendly, and Daisy was happy to return the second day. They have a great backyard too.”
About: We’ve had animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm in southern KY I am used to caring for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, birds, miniature pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, etc! Our animals have always been apart of our family and go where we go! Our animals are allowed on the furniture, sleep in our bed, and love to visit our parents house! I am a stay at home mom so adding a pet into our daily routine is actually pretty easy! We’re used to care for our own dog! We just have them join whatever we’re doing which makes it easier. I have two Littles who love to play outside and take them walks so I usually just have our pups tag along! Our pups routine is usually out to pee in the morning, a walk after her breakfast, lots of outdoor play or sunbathe time while me and my two kiddos play our back, another walk once the kids take their naps, more play time with the kids, another walk after dinner, then a pee break before we get into bed for the night! I’m home all day as a stay at home mom and my husband is fully remote so our pup is used to having somewhere there for whatever she needs or when we do go out and about if we’re able to we take her! Our dog frequents our parents house for even more cuddles and play! Animals are always part of the family on our end.
“Kymberlee, was a God sent. We could not leave our Nordic breed dog in the RV even with AC as too many variables. I connected with Kymberlee and she was very welcoming and accepting on last. She is a great host for pets, loving and extremely caring. Our Louie had a great time and we received pictures and updates during the day. Highly give Kymberlee an above excellent rating”

About: I've always have dog in my life, and my passion for dogs will last forever. My friend told me that I don't treat my dogs as dogs but babies. Remember, a genuine love for animals and a commitment to their well-being are at the heart of any successful pet care experience! I'm currently full time house wife with 2 dogs, no kids. My daily routines are my dogs, so I have a lot of time to watch yours too! We walk 4 times a day, and enjoy homemade dog treat and food. I don't have yard so I walk dogs instead (3-4 times a day), and I always clean them right after walking so they are allowed on furniture. Remember, a walk a day keep vet away. I do have crates if needed.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. We currently have 4 dogs of our own. Pets are allowed on the furniture, in the bed with us and we love cuddles! We have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of neighbors with dogs. They love to run the fence line. I am home outside of errands and can manage your dogs while you are at work. They will have frequent potty breaks and lots of room to play. Dogs are apart of the family. They are allowed on the furniture and the beds, we have extra play space and the house is baby proof.
About: I have always had dogs and cats in my life and many other animals . I currently have 5 dogs, 3 cats and a bunny. I take pet sitting very seriously. I will take the best care of your pets when I am spending time with them. It brings joy to help others get the best care for their pets while they are away. I would prefer to take care of your pets in your home because that is where I think they feel most comfortable. However, I do watch dogs in my home and after a successful meet and greet with your dog(s) and mine we can set up a booking at my house.
“We were on our way to the Ark Encounter and needed a place for our two dogs to stay. Mariah and Anthony were kind enough to take them in for the day. Our dogs felt right at home. They have a nice fenced in back yard and was very safe for them to play in. Their two German Shepherds were very nice and friendly and got a long great with our two dogs. Mariah and Anthony were very friendly and we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again if we were in the area.”
About: Danielle and I have had dogs our whole lives and absolutely love caring for them. We both grew up with dogs, so we’re very comfortable with their needs and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Danielle works a hybrid schedule, while I’m fully remote, so I’m home every day. We’re happy to work with your dog’s usual routine and schedule. We enjoy taking dogs on long walks in the morning and late afternoon, along with plenty of playtime throughout the day. We have a spacious 3-bedroom, first-floor apartment with plenty of room for a dog to feel comfortable. We also have a 1½-year-old son who loves animals, so your dog would be joining a loving family environment. We’re happy to accommodate dogs who need a little extra space or quiet time around our son. We usually walk around our neighborhood, but we also have a dog park in our apartment complex for extra exercise, socialization and play! Since I work from home, I’m with the dogs all day. Occasionally I go skateboarding in the afternoon for a couple hours, which is the longest the dogs would ever be home alone. We take Ori out twice a day and feed him in the morning and evening. Our home couldn’t be safer. Of course the door is always locked and we keep Ori on a leash the entire time that he’s outside. We make sure to keep any food or other things he shouldn’t get into off the floor and out of reach.
About: Loving, Reliable Dog Care Since 1998 My passion for caring for dogs began in 1998 when I started walking dogs in Washington, DC. What began as a simple love for dogs quickly grew into a rewarding business built on trust, reliability, and genuine care. With decades of experience, I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I provide dependable, personalized care so pet parents can feel confident knowing their dogs are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away. Whether it’s dog walking, sitting, playtime, or simply giving your pet some extra attention and companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and plenty of love. Over 25 years of experience. A lifelong love of dogs. Care you can trust. I have a 5 lb. Yorkie for your dog to play with. I am retired so I am home all day, every day. We love to go out and walk every day . I have a fenced in yard with wire all the way to the ground. My built in pool also has a safety fence. I have a 5 lb. Yorkie. My house is free for your dog to run around.

“Alexandra did a great job with our Senior pooch. She had alot of knowledge concerning Senior dogs and was very understanding about our girl's needs, making sure to give her the extra care and attention that she required. With each visit she sent a detailed description of the visit as well as lots of pictures which helped us to feel at ease with the sitter we had chosen. We will definitely be reaching out to Alexandra in the future.”

“Melissa clearly LOVES dogs. Gracie loved her immediately and was happy to go in the car with her to the park for a walk. Gracie didn't last the entire hour and Melissa didn't pressure Gracie to walk farther than she wanted to. She read Gracie's body language and responded appropriately.”
About: I walk the dogs at the animal shelter when I have extra time. I have done this on and off for about 3 years when I can. I work part time night shift and I’m in school 3 or 4 mornings a week, but I often have time in the afternoons and weekends. I have grown up with dogs and cats. I have 3 cats and 1 large dog at home and have always loved the company of animals.

I am currently a stay at home mom who has a lot of free time during the daytime hours while my child is in school. I would be a great fit for daily walks or drop ins! I will treat your home with the same respect as if it were my own. I will leave it as it was when I am complete on my care session.
About: “Backed by real experience with my 13-year-old husky—providing support and compassionate care. I go beyond basic sitting, giving each pup personalized, and attentive care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I care for my 13-year-old husky every day, so feeding, walks, medication (if needed), and regular check-ins are already built into my schedule. I plan my days around making sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. In my home, I provide a calm, safe environment with a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and rest. I’m experienced in adjusting care based on each dog’s needs, including training reinforcement and extra comfort for senior dogs. In clients’ homes, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care, along with updates so you feel confident while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m Aubrey, a lifelong dog lover with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for pit/staffy mixes and senior dogs. My journey started at 16 with my first dog, Diesel, a pit/lab mix who is now a happy senior. When I moved into my own place, I welcomed Crowley, a staffy/pit mix.

What I offer your dog: Bully Breed & Senior Care Experience: Experienced with big dogs, strong pullers, and the gentle patience senior pups need. Active & Affectionate: Plenty of walks, playtime, and lap-snuggles tailored to your dog's energy levels. Attentive & Reliable: Deeply familiar with dietary routines, health needs, and safety. Daily Updates: Clear communication and photos so you always know your pup is in good hands. I treat every dog with the same love and care I give my own. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! As of right now I’m on disability from work so I have a lot of time during the day! I go to PT once or twice a week, work on schoolwork, walk my own dog typical 2x a day. If I house sit I’d have to come to your home as my dog is not friendly. I can be highly accommodating to your and your pets needs
About: Danielle and I have had dogs our whole lives and absolutely love caring for them. We both grew up with dogs, so we’re very comfortable with their needs and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Danielle works a hybrid schedule, while I’m fully remote, so I’m home every day. We’re happy to work with your dog’s usual routine and schedule. We enjoy taking dogs on long walks in the morning and late afternoon, along with plenty of playtime throughout the day. We have a spacious 3-bedroom, first-floor apartment with plenty of room for a dog to feel comfortable. We also have a 1½-year-old son who loves animals, so your dog would be joining a loving family environment. We’re happy to accommodate dogs who need a little extra space or quiet time around our son. We usually walk around our neighborhood, but we also have a dog park in our apartment complex for extra exercise, socialization and play! Since I work from home, I’m with the dogs all day. Occasionally I go skateboarding in the afternoon for a couple hours, which is the longest the dogs would ever be home alone. We take Ori out twice a day and feed him in the morning and evening. Our home couldn’t be safer. Of course the door is always locked and we keep Ori on a leash the entire time that he’s outside. We make sure to keep any food or other things he shouldn’t get into off the floor and out of reach.

I am very used to nervous or difficult dogs. Dogs are a huge part of my life :) I work 4 days a week but my job is very flexible so I can easily leave to quickly let pups out to pee on work days!

They will have frequent potty breaks and lots of room to play. Dogs are apart of the family. They are allowed on the furniture and the beds, we have extra play space and the house is baby proof.
About: Loving, Reliable Dog Care Since 1998 My passion for caring for dogs began in 1998 when I started walking dogs in Washington, DC. What began as a simple love for dogs quickly grew into a rewarding business built on trust, reliability, and genuine care. With decades of experience, I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I provide dependable, personalized care so pet parents can feel confident knowing their dogs are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away. Whether it’s dog walking, sitting, playtime, or simply giving your pet some extra attention and companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and plenty of love. Over 25 years of experience. A lifelong love of dogs. Care you can trust. I have a 5 lb. Yorkie for your dog to play with. I am retired so I am home all day, every day. We love to go out and walk every day . I have a fenced in yard with wire all the way to the ground. My built in pool also has a safety fence. I have a 5 lb. Yorkie. My house is free for your dog to run around.

“Patricia was an AMAZING dog sitter for the weekend . She took such good care of our 2 yo golden doodle . She listened to our dogs needs and treated him like her own . She sent lots of updates which I loved too. It was so nice to not have to worry about my dog being cared for while away.”
“Hailey was great She seems to be dedicated to animal care and she went over and beyond what one would expect from a dog sitter She bathed both dogs and even trimmed their toenails at no extra charge . She is well supplied with all the tools she needs to provide a comfortable and safe environment for your pet. I would highly recommend her to watch your pet if you want to make sure they are well taken care of by a knowledgeable professional.”

She has a very calm, friendly, and grounding presence that our dog took to immediately.

It gave us so much peace of mind to know our Stanley was in such good hands. We would definitely book with Hayley again without hesitation!”

About: I absolutely love pets and will do my best to make them comfortable in my care! I consider pets to be family, and I will treat yours as u do my own. I am currently a stay at home mom who has a lot of free time during the daytime hours while my child is in school. I would be a great fit for daily walks or drop ins!
