“Doug was great with Rose and sensitive to her needs especially during the rain storms over the weekend. Rose is scared of the rain and he took extra care with her. He communicated well with us on each visit. Highly recommend Doug.”
“I read reviews for Haley before we booked our visit and they all seemed to be sparkling, as were her Visits with our two cats. She represents your company very well and is well-spoken, professional and w we’ll be very happy to ask for Haley in the future. 👍💕”
About: I’ve taken care of lizards and dogs. I’ve trained my own dog, and he has been canine good citizen certified. My dog gets along well with other dogs but in the event of an issue I have pens and crates to separate animals with consent. I currently provide time to walk my dog each morning, afternoon and night with play time during the day as I work from home. I am very flexible. 2-3 walks daily, with play time or training once to burn energy. My complex has a dog park which I utilize about once a week
“Hope was somewhat new to Rover but I found her to be a wonderful pet sitter. She was always prompt, sent pictures and became good friends with Oliver. He looked forward to her visits. I would highly recommend her for any pet sitting job. I definitely would use her again. Oliver really liked her and that was important! Great job Hope! Thank you!”
“Jennifer was amazing! She was available on short notice and managed our 3 pups brilliantly. We are definitely using her services again!!! Do NOT hesitate to book her!!”
“Lilli and Zachary were wonderfully responsible care takers for our dog and home. Lilli is a prompt, kind, and excellent communicator. Our meet and greet went well, and I could immediately sense we could trust this nice young couple. They provided wonderful care for our 10 year old dog who had never been left alone before (we always had other dogs and in-home overnight care). Initially our dog was a bit shy, according to Lilli, but she ultimately warmed to them and they became fast friends. Lilli’s reports were detailed complete with pictures. I would highly recommend Lilli and Zachary!”
About: I’ve had all kinds of animals since I was little and I wouldn’t have it any other way. They’re so loving and so deserving of love. I’m off from school for the summer. So my days and empty and free, waiting for a fur baby to fill in the blanks! I can’t think of a better way to spend my summer. I am I huge animal lover with an extra soft spot for cats. I love playing fetch with dogs or cuddling on the couch and giving some good pets.
“Aimee took wonderful care of our dog! Our dog is getting older and she was patient and caring. Aimee provided quality care that reassured me that he was fed and loved. Thank you Aimee!!!”
About: Ive never not been around dogs! I grew up with Malteses from 0-18 and as soon as I moved away for school I rescued my Husky mix and raised him from 5 weeks old. I’ve cared for many types of dogs, including rescues with troubled pasts, and high maintenance elderly dogs. I spent countless hours volunteering at my local humane society where I encountered & cared for so many animals with their own sets of needs. I’m happy to administer medicine, work on potty training, teaching basic commands, and anything else your pets might need. I do travel 3-4 days out of the week for work and frequently use Rover myself to find care for my dog. I know the struggle of finding and booking a sitter. While I’m only available part time each week, I strive to keep my availability up to date to make things easier for you. Due to my landlord’s rules, I do not offer boarding in my home. And due to me also being a Dog Mom I can’t agree to do overnight stays in your home as then I’d need to find care for my dog. I’m happy to provide drop ins, walks, and checking on your home. As far as care, I love detailed lists! Tell me everything there is to know about your pet, no amount of information is ever enough to share with me. The more details you share, the more I’m able to provide you the best service for you and the level of care that your pet deserves.
About: I’ve been caring for, training, and owning dogs nearly my whole life starting from childhood to now fostering/watching for friends and family. I’ve also had experience working professionally as a pet sitter. Whether your pup is large or small I’ll care for them as if they were my own and bring all the playful energy as a young adult to provide a fun experience during my time with them. I currently work remotely and have increased flexibility for scheduling needs. Although I will need to primarily be at home during my working hours I am able to ensure your pets are taken care of in a timely fashion without being left for too long without potty breaks. Your boundaries for your animals whether they be rules or practices in your personal home will be closely followed and respected. I bring my years of pet experience to ensure their safety is my top priority when staying with them overnight or providing daily care along with giving them the company they’ll need while you are away.
“Ally did fantastic! She was very tentative and responsive coming to meet my dog and I before heading out of town! She checked in every time and took pictures so I knew my dog was in good hands! She really helped me feel at ease leaving my home and dog for a few days. This was my first time using Rover and I WILL be using Ally again! Highly recommend!”
About: I've been around dogs since I've had a working memory. From friend's, family's, neighbor's to my own I've watched and cared for many different dogs of many different sizes and needs. Dogs are a joy and a privilege to care for and deserve the best. I've worked with pups to pops and enjoy both :) I currently work part time in the mornings. Whether your pet/s need to be fed/let out, walked or just needs company I know I'll find time to give them the attention and care they deserve. If I'm pet sitting, I'm able to stay in you're home and give your pets all the attention they could dream of. Chill, lazy dog? Nothing like relaxing outside or watching TV getting pets and cuddles. Adventurous hounds? Lots of walks and play. I tailor the pet care your fur babies need to fit their lives and personalities. I work 1:1 with pet families so that your pets get all of my attention.

About: I have taken care of my friends' dogs for a while. I love playing with them with full attention, and absolutely love going on walks. I am working part-time, so it fits well into my mornings. Pet care will fit well during the weekdays for me as well. I can be fully attentive with them. I have a fenced yard and a dog that can keep your dog company. I usually have access to a car to visit your furry friend again.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I got my first little one when I was 9. I loved and cared for him for 15 years. I now care for 5 dogs in my home and have fostered another 10. I’ve fostered dogs from hoarding situations, from abusive homes, and those who were surrendered by the only family they’ve ever known. Because of that, understand the need to personalize care based on the individual needs of each pet. My dog has medical needs, making me familiar with administering medication and am attentive to any changes in behavior. I currently work full-time but have the flexibility to offer care to your pet. I’m most available Monday mornings, T/W/Th afternoons and evenings. Thursday I have flexibility throughout the day. I have open availability for care Friday-Sunday. You know your pet best, I follow your lead. You tell me what your pet needs, when they will need it and I’ll provide it (and toss in a couple belly rubs).
“Becky was a fantastic sitter for our cat, Lucy. While we were out of town for a few days, she stopped by on a daily basis to keep Lucy happy by feeding and playing with her, and made sure we were kept up to date through pictures and updates. Seeing that Lucy was happy and playing really helped to ease my worries about leaving her and made me excited to see her again! Becky was also very communicative with us about our plans and how she could help make things easier. Next time we go on a trip we will definitely be hiring Becky again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs at every stage of life ever since I was 7. From house-training puppy to assisting my 90 lb senior dog on walks with a special harness because her back legs would not work as well anymore (I have a special place in my heart for senior doggies as my childhood doggy Emily (boxer mix) just passed away recently at 15 years old). I have experience walking, feeding, and playing with small and big dogs. I am also currently doing dog walking/feeding for my mother's pitbull at the moment. I am currently not in the place in my life to own another dog at this moment and have been missing having a dog of my own again so I am so ready to love yours as if they were my own! I will take the utmost precautions and safety depending on your dog's needs/behavior. I have safely handled reactive dogs that don't do well with other dogs. I will make sure your pet gets the exercise/playtime they need to stay happy. I also own a cat so I am also experienced in cat care for your feline friends! I am pretty much available at anytime and any day at this time. Just let me know with at least one day ahead of time and I will let you know if I am able. I would take care of your baby like my own. In any situation, I will take the utmost precaution to ensure the safety of your pet and myself when we are walking.

Brookelynn S.
“Brookelynn was great! I think my dog is more excited to see her than he is to see me. I always leave a detailed sheet of instructions for my sitters and Brookelynn is the only one who ever actually follows it. While she’s not available 24/7 for pet sitting I always try to snatch her up whenever she is! She is mine and Simba’s FAVORITE sitter! Can’t say enough positive things about her. So heartbroken that she moved away, but Illinois just got the best sitter ever!!!”

Ian H.
“Ian has been super helpful with caring for my English Bulldog Skye when I am out of town. Super thankful that he made himself available as I have needed. He genuinely cares for Skye. She is 12 and needs a bit of patience and coaxing to do her business. Ian has helped us with Skye on at least 4 of our last trips. Very thankful for his kindness and dependability.”
Joceline L.
“Jocey is by far the best pet sitter I’ve found in the city. She’s reliable, responsible, and great with my pets. I have three cats (one of whom has intense anxiety, another with special needs) as well as a very fiesty pigeon, and it’s so comforting to know they’re in good hands with Jocey whenever I’m out of town. She’s also very considerate with communication, and respectful of my home which is obviously important. All in all, can’t recommend her enough!”
Bryn L.
“I have known Bryn for quite a few years now. In the time that I have known her, I have seen her handle dogs very well, whether it be the two that I have or her own. When her dog would have to go out, she would always be the first one up to open the door, and would always be considerate of the food and water bowls to make sure they were full. On multiple occasions, we would take the dogs out for walks at the dog park and play fetch in the backyard. Bryn is probably the most responsible individual that I know and truly loves and cares about dogs. She would be the perfect pet caregiver.”
Yazmin P.
“Yazmin is great with dogs! Not only does she have her own dogs, but she use to foster dogs when she had her own place. I’ve seen how much love she gives and how well she takes care of them. She’d be perfect for this and she’s an amazing person”
