“Kiara & Yves are genuinely such fantastic pet sitters, and kept my mind at ease during travel knowing that my cat was in such good hands! Not only were they very kind and pleasant to talk to, but Kiara was very knowledgeable about animals in general and shared some useful information. They were very diligent in making sure my kitty was being cared for properly, along with sending updates and pictures. From medication, to going out of their way to buy specific kibble that my cat was used to after not adjusting, you can be assured that your pet will be watched by responsible, enthusiastic, and caring folks.”
“I’m so grateful she accepted my dog last minute on the same day. She took amazing care of him and treated him like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving, reliable hands. We’ll be back!! Highly recommend!”
“I can't praise Melissa enough. She took excellent care of Chloe. She was also willing to adjust my dates if I decided to stay out of town an extra day. I'm already looking into booking Melissa again for our next vacation. 😀”
“Alena was VERY accommodating. We ran into a hiccup during boarding and she was so helpful in working out a solution. I loved the pictures and videos of Kirra!”
“Denae and Mark were absolute angels! They are such nice people! I felt that my crazy, young pittie was in great hands! Zero felt right at home during the first meet and greet and that made leaving her there for a long weekend less anxiety-inducing for both me and her as she is a bit of an anxious dog. They made her feel so comfortable! I will definitely be booking with them again and would recommend them for anyone! Lots of pictures and great communication! Thank you Mark and Denae!”
“Loki loved his stay with Erica! Erica had a thorough meet and greet with us, asked great questions to make sure all parties felt comfortable. It was great receiving picture updates while I was away. Will definitely book with Erika again!”
“Mindy was wonderful with our Troops! We LOVED the updates & pics and felt very safe with him staying with her! He will be back very soon for a longer visit & we feel very happy knowing he’ll have a trusted companion while we are gone!”
“Anthony and Nate did a wonderful job with our Holly. I got photo/text updates on how she was doing. We would definitely book again. If you are thinking about booking with Anthony, you definitely should.”
“Amanda was great taking care of Francisco. She was very responsive and sent multiple daily updates of Francisco. He seemed to have a really good time there and I definitely would book with her again.”
“Where do I even begin?!! Michelle has to be one of the best dog sitters we have ever encountered in our lives. She pays so much attention to our dogs and loves them as if they were her own. I never had to wonder what was going on while we were away, as Michelle does a fantastic job with updates and pictures galore throughout the day. We were able to enjoy ourselves the entire trip because we knew our dogs were in good hands. Michelle goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. I highly recommend her services. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve watched friends’ pets in the past to help them out. I’ve boarded and walked on multiple occasions. I work during the day M-F. During the summer my two very responsible 19 and 20 year olds are home to help out and play with the animals as well. I’m looking at this as a learning opportunity in responsibility for them. I have a small yard and live in a nice neighborhood that is good for walking. I have a dog named Westley who is 3 1/2 and a cat, Daisy, that is 6. Both have been around both dogs and cats. Daisy generally will hide if she’s scared. Westley loves to play.
“Milo had a great time with Charlette and her family! We got lots of updates and pictures each day. We felt relaxed and comfortable that Milo was in good hands! We highly recommend to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”
“Anna was amazing to my girls! She provided many pictures and updates, both my pups came home very sleepy and happy. It was really nice being able to travel and not worry about them. Highly recommend booking with her, she is the perfect person to care for your animals!”
“5 stars all the way!! Courtney was very accommodating in every way. She made me being on vacation and away from my dogs completely stress free. I feel like I’ll never have to look for another dog sitter again. She loved my pups and they seemed to love her right back.”
About: Hello! My name is Jackie and I have countless years of experience caring for pups of all sizes and ages. I was the primary caretaker for our family dog for 15 years, have worked in many animal care facilities ranging from a dog grooming boutique to the zoo!

My passion in life is to care for all animals the way they deserve to be cared for, so you can trust that I will put 110% of my love, skills, and dedication to your beloved pets. I'm always here to answer more questions if you have any! I'm excited to be a loyal caretaker to your loyal companion. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to be home during parts of the day so you can be sure your pet will get plenty of exercise, outdoor time, and cuddles (if they like them). You should note that I also have a pet bunny and a roommate who will be sharing the responsibilities! I am happy to keep the bunny separated or if they are friendly letting them roam together. It's up to you and what you are comfortable with! We can always set up a greeting ahead of watching your pet as well. Safety is my number one priority when it comes to caring for other living creatures, so you can be sure that I will be communicative and explicit with detail about how your pet is doing along with any concerns you or I may have. I want you to be secure in knowing that your pet is in a loving and safe environment. Providing specific feeding regimens, favorite toys, and places your pet enjoys will be helpful in making sure that safe environment is all the more comfortable for them as well!
“Beverly was great! She sent several pictures of Lucy throughout the day. Very good communication. Lucy had a great time because she came home exhausted. Would definitely have Beverly watch Lucy again when we need a pet sitter.”

“Karen was amazing with my 2 furry guys! She was calm, caring and took great attention to them. Jack needed daily pills and she was able to do that effortlessly.

Very kind, respectable and caring-top notch and I highly recommend. Thank you Karen!!”

“I scheduled her this past week last minute and she got back to me right away. She always very friendly and always willing to help out where she can! I will reschedule her again for my next long trip!”
“Courtney is amazing!!! Sierra did really well with Courtney during her visits. She responded quickly to our requests, kept us informed throughout the visits, worked with Sierra's training during her walk, and made sure she was fed. We're grateful she accepted the booking with short notice during our family Xmas visit. Really recommend her if you're looking for an expert sitter.”
“Jessica was amazing from the meet and greet to the last morning of her drop in visits!!! She shared insightful updates and pictures each drop in visit and there was a huge jump from the first drop in visit to the last one; you can see how comfortable and happy Jola was starting to get with her through the photos! And that speaks volumes to how great she is at caring for our little loved ones! Jessica is most def my first choice for drop in visits in the future if she’s available 🙏🏾 10/10 recommend”
About: I've grown up with pets my entire life and have had 2 of my own dogs. They both had medical issues so I am very familiar with administering medications and preparing special meals. My home is currently pet-free and I would be so happy to spend time with your dog while you're away. I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I currently work part time and always have Wednesdays and Fridays-Sundays off. I also have some Tuesdays off, and if I do work on Tuesdays it is only from 8-2. Mondays can be discussed. My house has a fully fenced in backyard and I never leave dogs outside unattended. Dogs are welcome to snuggle on my furniture and in bed with me if they like. If your dog is crate trained, feel free to bring their crate or I have a large one they can use. There are no other dogs or children in my home so your dog gets my full attention!
About: Hi! I’m Katy! I am a veterinary assistant working at McClelland Small Animal Hospital, and I’m pet sitting to help pay for my dream honeymoon! I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’m so fortunate to be able to help care for others' pets every day. I will love and treat your critters like they are my own, as taking care of animals is truly my passion. I currently work full time at an animal hospital and own 3 dogs, a cat, and a husband (haha) so pet care is second nature to me. When I’m entrusted in caring for your pet and your home, I will be there all night and in the morning before I head into work. I will check on them during my lunch hour and come right back to them right after work. I'm always incredibly respectful of my clients homes, ensuring things are just as neat and tidy (if not more so) than they were when I arrived. Mail will be brought in, trash taken out, and bed linens cleaned. You're on a vacation, why worry about cleaning up when you get home?!

“Kiara and Yves did an amazing job watching Teddy. Once I dropped him off, he felt right at home. Kiara kept on contact with me throughout the booking to update me on Teddys status and sent several pics. Will definitely book with Kiara and Yves again if we’re in the area.”
“Lucy had a great time! She played and rested and played some more. Their home is lovely and the yard is safely enclosed for outdoor fun. They are very accommodating to our weird schedule. We shall return and relax knowing Lucy is well cared for!”
About: I have raised two dogs (one large bread and one small bread) both from puppy to 16 & 17yrs old. I have had three cats (one still residing with me). Currently I dog sit two fur babies since 2020. In a week I am losing one of my buddies due to his parents relocating. I am already missing him and am hoping to make some new walking and cuddling partners. I work part time on weekends but can sit with advanced notice. Monday til Wednesday I am available for anytime on shorter notice. When I have your furry sweetheart I do not leave them by themselves at all,so I like to schedule when there is nothing to conflict with the time I have them. When in my house they have no restrictions from me, only what the parent wants. I have an outside bathroom area on leash for quick bathroom trips. I like to go for at least one or two long walks per day, weather permitting and your dogs abilities. I live in a walkable neighborhood and close to parks. When at your house I will follow whatever routine your partner is used to.
“We drove from TN to NY for my cousins wedding in Buffalo with our dog so she could meet some family and see my home state. I’m not from Buffalo though so I was so happy to find Mindy to watch our dog Lady during the wedding hours! It’s always nerve wracking leaving your baby with new people but Mindy calmed our nerves with photos and a couple updates and I knew Lady was in great hands. She was also super flexible with us for our pickup and dropoff times changing, which we really appreciated!”
“Alexis is a wonderful dog sitter. She is responsive and understanding of my dogs individual needs. He's an older boy and appreciates a good lap or couch for requent relaxation and Alexis is willing to provide that. This was our second time at doggy day care with Alexis and he rushed out of the car to visit her again!”
“Melissa and my fur girl definitely have a special connection and she picks up on Misty’s subtle ways of letting you know she needs or wants something! I’d recommend Melissa for any day care opportunity you’re looking for to keep your fur babes safe and well monitored!”
About: Hi all! I foster for a local rescue shelter, and I love caring for dogs and giving them love until they find / return to their home! I have one amazing rescue of my own named Sesame. I teach college classes, but have open availability over the summer. During the semesters I teach, I am typically free Thurs-Sun, and part time other days. I always walk dogs at least four times a day, more if they are younger or older. I have a fenced dog park where two dogs are allowed at a time. They can play there safely. I love taking dogs on long walks to nearby parks or even coffee shops if they like pup cups! I only walk one dog at a time for safety purposes.
About: Hi! I'm Caitlin and I have worked with animals professionally for over 10 years in grooming, boarding, training and animal shelters. Now, I work remotely and spend my time with my 4 cats :) My specialty and preference is in cat care and senior dogs. However, I will consider all booking requests. I am currently not able to handle very energetic animals, or animals that are very strong. I am better suited to more relaxed pets. **Important** - I currently work a full time job from home and can be flexible with scheduling. I will work from your home if booked for house sitting, so it is required I have a reliable internet connection! - At this time I require m&gs for all house sitting services before bookings, to ensure our expectations meet and to make sure your pet is comfortable with me. For long term house sitting, I highly reccomend a trial run of 1 day of daycare or a drop in visit. I work from home full time so I am available during the workday when most people are away! I love being able to hangout with new friends during my work week. Safety is and always has been my top priority. I am proudly fear free certified and have worked on extensive safety training measures in all of my professional working environments.
“He’s a great person and a huge animal lover! Apollo loves him and loves playing with the other dogs. I highly recommend Jose for all your pet sitting needs, he’s the best!”
“Sasha is very personable, great energy...and Homey seemed to enjoy his stay with her on Mother's day...nice to be away and know he was well cared for...lots of pics and updates....highly recommend.”
“Julia was so sweet and helped Finney feel right at home. She was attentive to all his needs and even sent me pictures and updates throughout the day to let me know how he was doing. I’m so happy she could help me out!”
“Crystal handled my two rescues wonderfully. It was their first time being somewhere without us and everything went great. She was great at giving updates and sending pictures. We plan on booking with crystal again in the future.”
“I feel like Courtney isn't just the best dog sitter, she's one of the best humans. She was so welcoming and understanding of my not completely house trained pup, and she's almost like a trainer as well as sitter. She's worked on crate training and commands with my pup, even letting me borrow things to help at home. Five other sitters denied my request to watch a puppy, but Courtney is the ultimate dog lover, and honestly has more patience than anyone I've ever met. My only concern is that my pup loves being at her house maybe more than mine, since Courtney's dogs are her new best friends! I can't recommend her highly enough, except I'll be sad if she ever ends up booked when I need her. I couldn't imagine using anyone else.”
“Akeira was such a responsible and kind dogsitter. She kept me updated regularly, which made a big difference. Her dog, Eleanor, is wonderfully gentle and got along so well with my pups. Akeira really put care and attention into making sure they were happy and healthy, including taking them on walks. The fact that my dogs were excited to see her every morning at drop-off says everything. I’d happily trust her with them again.”
About: I have had and cared for dogs since I was 5 years old. I just recently lost my elderly dog that I took care of for many years and through the end of his life. I have lived with up to 5 dogs in the house and can handle the chaos of multiple dogs and the high energy of puppies. I have lived in Chicago for the past 3 years and am familiar with the local dog parks. I am currently a fourth year medical student at Rush and am interviewing for residency currently. I am very empathetic and conscientious dog lover and hope to help you with all of your dog care needs. If you have any questions please reach out to me. I am currently interviewing for residency positions and have a lot of availability in my schedule, with most of my activities ending by noon or early afternoon. I defer to my clients for the needs of each and every pet that I take care of. I am able to crate train and take care of dogs with special needs.
“Laura was amazing with my off the wall super energetic 3 month old springer spaniel puppy!! She is a super experienced trainer and was amazing at providing a balance between structure/close monitoring for safety and a lot of fun play time for my girl. She sent a lot of updates and advice that was very helpful for our training as well! Laura went above and beyond and even gave me tons of training tips outside of the visit because my pup is very difficult and has been struggling with separation anxiety. Best value out of a Rover stay I’ve ever gotten!”

“The proof of Jackie’s expertise is with the pups. They adored her. She is obviously a dog person. We’ll be booking her again as a sitter. I know that bean and sprout will have a wonderful time with her. Thanks Jackie!”
About: I have taken care of my sister dog for 7 months her name was chichi. I had lots of experience with taking her to walks, making sure she used the bathroom on her walks, also bathing her. I am very playful with dogs and make sure they eat and have a clean bowl of water. I work at my other job during the afternoon but I still am available to take care of your pups from 11am - 2:30 pm. I will always keep your pup in company. I love to watch over playful dogs and love to teach them new tricks. I’m a very kind and generous person and comfortable to be around with dogs.
About: I love getting to know each individual pet’s personality and needs, and approach them with respect to make them feel comfortable and safe. I have many years of experience with animals who need insulin shots and oral medications, and experience with all ages. I will treat your pets as if they were my own! At home, I have a tripod husky and a cat who has traveled far with me. I go on miles-long walks every day… always with dog treats in my pockets :) I'm currently working from home setting my own schedule, so walking your dog would fit well into my day. If you live near me, an overnight at your place is possible as I like to give my Stormy cat her breakfast and outside grass time by mid morn. I have lots of cat toys in my house for my cat. I hope your dog has toys and if it's just a walk, then a good leash and baggies to collect poop are essential. I am all about fresh water and seeing that their space is just how they like it.

I was bit as a child so do have some fear when it comes to reactive dogs and would rather not sit for them. While my expertise is cats the more dogs I’ve sat the more comfortable I am. So not only am I helping you but you’re helping me :) My boyfriend and I both work 9-5 most days but can always stop by for checkins on our breaks. We sit together and work around our schedules to make time for the pets we care for. We have multiple cats as well as fish, frogs, and a lizard. We know how important routines are and do our best to keep your pet in their routine. We ask that your Rover profile is updated with all the information needed to care for your pet up to your standard. Some examples would be feeding and bathroom routines.
“Ian has been great so far! Flexible and consistent with the weekly walks. He and Amelia are clearly building a trusting relationship, and she’s really starting to warm up to him. I would definitely recommend him.”
“Jessica is very responsive, professional, and punctual. She even braved the rain to make sure Jett got a great walk in and made sure he ate his food. Will definitely have her watch Jett again. 10/10”
“Lana was amazing with my dog Nala! Nala took to her right away. Lana is prompt when answering texts and great at communicating. She always takes lots of pictures and leaves a report card. Thank you for taking great care of Nala!”

Currently I have a 3-year-old catahoula leopard / lab mix and an 8-year-old brown tabby cat. During the week I work 9-5 from home.

On weekends my availability can start as early as 9AM. I am typically available I don’t ski or snowboard – so you don’t have to worry about me being in the mountains. 1. There are many outdoor parks near my apartment building, as well as a dog run in the apartment complex itself. My 3-year-old pup is extremely friendly and playful, meaning your furry friend will always have someone to keep them company, should they want a friend.

“Denae and Mark were absolute angels! They are such nice people! I felt that my crazy, young pittie was in great hands! Zero felt right at home during the first meet and greet and that made leaving her there for a long weekend less anxiety-inducing for both me and her as she is a bit of an anxious dog. They made her feel so comfortable! I will definitely be booking with them again and would recommend them for anyone! Lots of pictures and great communication! Thank you Mark and Denae!”
“Mindy was wonderful with our Troops! We LOVED the updates & pics and felt very safe with him staying with her! He will be back very soon for a longer visit & we feel very happy knowing he’ll have a trusted companion while we are gone!”
“Anthony and Nate did a wonderful job with our Holly. I got photo/text updates on how she was doing. We would definitely book again. If you are thinking about booking with Anthony, you definitely should.”
“Amanda was great taking care of Francisco. She was very responsive and sent multiple daily updates of Francisco. He seemed to have a really good time there and I definitely would book with her again.”
“Where do I even begin?!! Michelle has to be one of the best dog sitters we have ever encountered in our lives. She pays so much attention to our dogs and loves them as if they were her own. I never had to wonder what was going on while we were away, as Michelle does a fantastic job with updates and pictures galore throughout the day. We were able to enjoy ourselves the entire trip because we knew our dogs were in good hands. Michelle goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. I highly recommend her services. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve watched friends’ pets in the past to help them out. I’ve boarded and walked on multiple occasions. I work during the day M-F. During the summer my two very responsible 19 and 20 year olds are home to help out and play with the animals as well. I’m looking at this as a learning opportunity in responsibility for them. I have a small yard and live in a nice neighborhood that is good for walking. I have a dog named Westley who is 3 1/2 and a cat, Daisy, that is 6. Both have been around both dogs and cats. Daisy generally will hide if she’s scared. Westley loves to play.
“Milo had a great time with Charlette and her family! We got lots of updates and pictures each day. We felt relaxed and comfortable that Milo was in good hands! We highly recommend to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”
“Anna was amazing to my girls! She provided many pictures and updates, both my pups came home very sleepy and happy. It was really nice being able to travel and not worry about them. Highly recommend booking with her, she is the perfect person to care for your animals!”
About: Hello! My name is Jackie and I have countless years of experience caring for pups of all sizes and ages. I was the primary caretaker for our family dog for 15 years, have worked in many animal care facilities ranging from a dog grooming boutique to the zoo! On top of my hands-on experience with dogs and cats, I have an educational background in wildlife conservation. My passion in life is to care for all animals the way they deserve to be cared for, so you can trust that I will put 110% of my love, skills, and dedication to your beloved pets. I'm always here to answer more questions if you have any! I'm excited to be a loyal caretaker to your loyal companion. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to be home during parts of the day so you can be sure your pet will get plenty of exercise, outdoor time, and cuddles (if they like them). You should note that I also have a pet bunny and a roommate who will be sharing the responsibilities! I am happy to keep the bunny separated or if they are friendly letting them roam together. It's up to you and what you are comfortable with! We can always set up a greeting ahead of watching your pet as well. Safety is my number one priority when it comes to caring for other living creatures, so you can be sure that I will be communicative and explicit with detail about how your pet is doing along with any concerns you or I may have. I want you to be secure in knowing that your pet is in a loving and safe environment. Providing specific feeding regimens, favorite toys, and places your pet enjoys will be helpful in making sure that safe environment is all the more comfortable for them as well!
“Crystal is awesome! She has taken care of two of my dogs and our newest dog is very shy and anxious. Crystal went out of her way to make him feel at home. He wasn't eating a ton so she even went out and got him wet dog food which he ate well. By the end of his 3 days with Crystal he was feel very comfortable. I highly recommend Crystal, especially if your dog is anxious!”
“Alexis kept us updated with photo and messages. It was our dogs first time with “pet sitting” on Rover and Alexis was patient and attentive with our fur babies. We are so grateful she was able to help us with our last minute need for help before a trip. We definitely recommend her!”
“Kimberly and her family were wonderful with Flopsy. I was sent daily photos and updates reassuring me that all was well. And her adorable children were kind and gentle. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and loving place to leave their pet.”
“Valerie was amazing. She Made me feel so comfortable with leaving my service pup for first time 🙏🏻💕 her place is more than enough for a large pooch. So grateful! Will definitely return”
