“Absolutely amazing. My little dog had the greatest time, got a lot of socializing and exercise everyday. I boarded him for a week and would absolutely do so again.”
“Jeffrey was extremely responsive to my questions and wrote every day with updates and photos. He was patient with Papaya's anxiety, and madensure she ate, even if it meant offering her handfuls of food at a time. It's the first time we left our sweet goofy girl with someone, but it felt good to know she was in such good hands. Thank you, Jeffrey!”
“Mary was an incredible dog watcher! I got multiple updates throughout the day with very cute pictures included. My dog needed to take medicine on a schedule and Mary made sure to communicate each time a dose was given. I could not have asked for a better host for my fur baby! 10/10 would recommend”
“Wow! We are so happy that we chose Gabriella to be our dog’s new sitter! Kiko acclimated to her home immediately. He even ate on the first day! We thought he would not have eaten for a few days. Kiko loved his long daily walks in the park! He loved being part of her family! Kiko is looking forward to his next visit!”

“Gregory was very responsive to my last minute request for boarding. My dog is little and anxious, and I was not sure how she would do with another dog as large as Koda, Gregory’s dog. But Koda turned out to be very well trained and had a lovely calm demeanor. Maya was very comfortable and I will definitely be using Gregory again!”
“I just adopted my dog a month ago and this was my first time leaving him since I brought him home. Until now we hadn’t been apart more than a day while I’m at work. I was super super nervous and nearly cried when I left him, but Yuhan made the process easy and positive. She sent me pictures of him every other day and gave me tons of updates on how he was doing. He got to play with a bunch of other dogs and looked super happy in all the pictures she sent me. I’m way more comfortable leaving him now and I’ll definitely be looking to rebook with Yuhan again. He got to go on a vacation of his own and seemed to have tons of fun while in her care.”

“Amanda was an absolute joy to work with and was wonderful and very sweet with my cat! I HIGHLY recommend her as a pet sitter. She is reliable, fair, responsible and kind. I plan to request Amanda again in the future for my pet care needs! You should feel confident and secure in hiring Amanda to take care of your pet!”

“Christina did a great job! She was really sweet with my cat. She had really positive energy and clear communication. I'll definitely try to book her again the next time I'm out of town.”
“We were privileged enough to have Ally care for our two cats while we went on an extended trip to take care of family business. Without a doubt, Ally is a professional and very caring for the four footed family members in her care. She is a strong recommend. There was a minor medical emergency involving our cat scratching herself too deeply, leaving an open wound. She alerted us immediately and we were able to arrange for timely vetting. We're glad to have met her through Rover and encourage you to seek her out for pet sitting you need.”
“Julia is an amazing sitter! Both my cats love her, and she provides wonderful care. One of my cats is usually very shy with most people, but she loves seeing Julia!”
“Marketa is the best. She understands cats and how different my two cat's personalities can be. She always washes their bowls and spoons after every meal and refills their water bowl. One of my cats is very active and tends to get lonely when left alone. Marketa does a great job by engages them in play time with every visit.”
“Kendra was wonderful! She was accommodating and patient with my high maintenance kitties. I looked forward to the Rover Card Updates daily and the pictures were a plus. Would definitely book with Kendra again :)”
“My weird cats and I adore Allie. I volunteered at a couple of shelters / rescues and truly have some quirky cats, but Allie acted like they were as normal as they come. She was not fazed by their individual eating preferences, oral meds, and sometimes cranky attitudes. Allie also sent daily updates with photos and I have not felt this at ease traveling in a very long time. I'm sure Allie is excellent with dogs, but if you are looking for someone who is amazing with cats, this is your sitter!”
“Jenna looked after my 2 cats while I was away. She was very patient with my super anxious kitty, and made him feel comfortable enough to come out of hiding. I will definitely book again in the future.”
“Barb is the greatest and the best! We are always happy when she has an opening for us. The dog is calm and relaxed, and we get to see the walks she took while we were gone! Barb is flexible and patient with the dog and with us. Thanks, Barb!”

Heyi met me at our local dog park before dog sitting to see if my dog would be compatible.The next day she had my dog come to her residence for a few hours. When I picked up my little pup she seemed very happy and definitely had fun playing with her dog,Poptart. I definitely will use Heyi again. 😊🐶👍”

About: Retired dog groomer and life long dog owner. I was a dog walker in Center City before I started a family. I was also a dog groomer for 10 years and have plenty of experience around all kinds of pets. I currently walk a few dogs in the surrounding area and have a flexible schedule as I work from home as a real estate agent. Our dog passed away during COVID, and we are currently dog less. I'm currently working from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available for boarding house trained, kid friendly dogs, week days and most weekends. I am also available to house sit in your home with your pet if you prefer. I can provide daily walks and/or yard play time and exercise, as well as feeding and admiring administering simple medications. In my home we have an unfenced yard, so I will walk your dog as per specific needs. We prefer pets not on furniture or bed, and would rather have owner provide something to sleep on. If not provided we do have blankets. We have 3 boys 16 and under so dogs would have to be kid friendly. Our boys love dogs and grew up with a doberman. They are respectful, calm and understanding of pet needs.
“We did a trial stay with Gabriella before leaving our dog for a week in November. Kira was walked twice, had lunch, a nap and went on a little car ride. She was very happy when she got home. Gabriella was wonderful with her and it makes us feel much less anxious about leaving her.”
“She had great availability, and my dog loved playing with hers. She was flexible about dietary things (like my dog on a raw meat diet). She took cute pictures and kept me abreast of my dog’s urination and bowel movements. She was kind, kept a clean house, had fenced in space outdoors for the dogs to play and get some exercise, movement and sunlight. She was reliable and felt safe with my dog in her care.”
“Oreo had a wonderful time at Mike's house! She enjoyed playing with Mike's sweet dog Trent as well as a few other four-legged guests in the spacious fenced backyard, and came home happy and exhausted. Mike was very prompt with communication and sent some fun pictures. Thank you!”
“Joseph was good & patient with Shadow. He’s a high energy husky & I’m sure he can be a lot to deal with. But my boy was eager to go over Joseph’s place to play. Both days that were needed. I did not have any issues while I was away. Even sent occasional photos giving updates of my boy. Will be using his services again.”
“Melody was absolutely amazing! I initially booked a last-minute dog-sitting appointment, and she accommodated me with no issues. She kept me updated throughout the day, letting me know when my pup went potty or had a meal, and even helped with crate training. I noticed positive changes in my pup—he was much calmer upon pick-up, which showed how well he was cared for. Melody was incredibly reliable, watching my pup for a full two weeks, and I never once had to worry about his well-being. She even assisted with food changes, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend Melody to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter!”
About: I’ve had a passion for animals since I was a little girl. I always wanted a dog but wasn’t allowed. Growing up I had a few animals cats, Guinea pigs, ferrets, Gerbil, Bird and fish. I would always feed the stray cats in my neighborhood and cared for stray kittens. Unfortunately, now I can’t have cats because my son’s allergy. We have a wonderful dog now.. Her name is Kyra. She’s one years old. She is considered a teddy bear dog, her breed is call shih-poo. She brings me so much joy and comfort.. I love her dearly. Having her make me want more dogs. My best option is pet sitting. I’ve cared for many of my family pets. I love spending time with them and caring for them. I look forward to meeting many new buddies. I work at a school. I am currently not working for the summer. Right now, My availability is flexible until I go back to work I live in a house with a backyard not fenced. I have a porch that has a porch potty. I will also take your dog for walks occasionally walks.
“Our 4-month puppy LOVES going to daycare at Emelie’s! He has a great time with his playmates and comes back home happy and tired—never overexcited or stressed out. Emelie is able to take care of a lot of dogs, let them play and rest, and even give them love. She has a spacious home and a great fenced backyard where her 4-paw guests can run, play, and go to the bathroom. Highly recommended.”
“Cody had a nice time with Rhea and Argo (her dog). He’s pretty un-dog friendly, ignores them mostly, but Rhea took good care of him and Arlo gave him his space😂. Excellent communication. We have already booked with Rhea again!”

About: I’ve been on Rover for the past 6 years and I have also had personal experience with taking care of dogs for about ten years. I have made house visits to my neighbors to care for their dogs while they were away and my family also has a dog of that I have taken care of for the past 12 years. I have always been an animal lover and I love to help in whatever ways that I can. Being able to combine my love for animals with my love for helping people by caring for their pets seems like the perfect part-time job to me. I’ve lived in Oak Park for a few years now so I’ve gotten to know the area well and I love getting to meet all the different animals around! (P.S. I’ll also take great pictures of your pets to send while you’re away) I am available full-time during the week and weekends and I have a pup of my own who would love to make some new friends in the area! I live in an apartment with a lot of parks nearby that I would plan on taking your pet. I have a very friendly pup of my own that loves to play as well.
About: As an experienced dog owner and longtime shelter volunteer, I genuinely love working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I get super excited about active outdoor time like hiking, but what I enjoy most is giving dogs real mental stimulation through training while they're with me. Whether it's helping a puppy master basic manners, keeping an adult dog sharp, or just teaching fun new tricks, keeping their brains busy is the secret to a happy, well-behaved pet. I'd love to help your pup burn off energy, learn a few things, and come home totally tired and content! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, so there is always someone at home to provide supervision, companionship, and care. My flexible schedule allows me to take dogs out for walks, potty breaks, playtime, or attention throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. Because I am home regularly, I can also adapt to each dog’s needs, whether they prefer a consistent routine, extra exercise, medication schedules, or more frequent bathroom breaks. My goal is to make sure every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and part of a calm, reliable environment. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where dogs can feel at home. I live in a 1200 sq ft apartment with a dog park downstairs, which is great for walks, potty breaks, and exercise. I have 1 dog and no children, my dog is very friendly with all dogs. I understand every dog and household has different routines, rules, and comfort levels, so I always do my best to accommodate each client’s needs. I am flexible with crate use, furniture rules, feeding schedules, exercise preferences, and any special instructions you provide. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on safety, consistency, and making sure your dog feels secure, happy, and well cared for.
“Ryan was extremely professional and a great communicator. I have a very sensitive/anxious dog, but I felt at ease knowing she was getting great long walks with a calm confidant walker. I will definitely hire Ryan again next time I leave town! Thanks again!”
“Allyson has been great in supporting our shy and anxious pup. She is very patient with him. She is great with communicating with us about any updates so we don't have to worry while we're away from home.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes since I can remember. Dog poop, hairballs, slobber…not grossed out, will clean it all. We recently lost our 17-year-old chihuahua, so I have experience caring for a senior pet as well. I’m a freelance creative, working from home with a very flexible schedule. I can easily shift my day around to meet your pet care needs! I am a sucker for instructions and will follow them to a T. Your pet(s) will get my undivided attention, love, and care. And, with your permission, I love to take photos of your pets and share them with you to add a little bright spot to your day.
“Jaclyn is a GREAT walker!! My princess can be a little difficult to handle, but she does a wonderful job of getting her to behave & walk to go potty! Nia looks forward to Jaclyn's time with her! Great job, Jacylyn!!”
About: Hello! I am Havyn and I have lots of personal experience caring for big and small dogs and cats. I have had many types of dogs and cats and have been the caretaker of those pets since the age of 7. I will play, walk, and/or run with your pets or play with them at my home with any of their favorite toys.

“Malaysia is extremely reliable and professional. My dog loves her, she is warm and friendly and she sends me a cute picture on her walk with Venus! We sincerely appreciate her help! Thank you Malaysia!”
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life. I have dogs, cats, pet rats, snakes, geckos, and frogs. I work with dogs with behavioral issues, sassy snakes, geckos who fling themselves into the air and birds who aren't interested in my company! There's nothing on this planet I can't find a reason to love. I work full time during the day from 11-7 so I am unable to do midday visits, but I am happy to do breakfast and dinner check-ins What type of care I give is catered specifically to the individual animal. Some want cuddles, some want someone to sit nearby and be read to, some just want to eat! I let the animal set the stage of our interactions, I find that it fosters a deeper connection in the long term. This method is applied to the best of my ability when it comes to pets requiring medication as needing medication requires a more active hands on approach
About: I’ve loved and been around animals since childhood. Growing up, my family had both cats and dogs. As an adult, I now have 2 cats of my own. I’m very passionate about human-animal connection. I am currently a graduate student taking night classes two days a week. This is something I’m hoping to fill my spare time with :) I view and treat animals with the same respect as I do people. Pets need not only the necessities, but a high level of emotional attention.
“Hadiya is great! She’s amazing with her high level of care, consideration, and attention to detail! I’m really glad to be working with her! My dogs love her 🫶🏾”

“Barb was the perfect welcome representative for our first time using Rover. She answered all of our first timer questions and put our mind at ease. What a great first experience.”
“Sam is the best! He sends me great photos of Lou on the walks. He will take my dog to the dog park too. He is great with communication and very timely and friendly. I would recommend him to anyone.”
