About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for many different pets. Growing up, I helped raise two family dogs and cats so I’m comfortable with both indoor pets and larger animals. For 13 years I was the proud mom to my Shih Tzu, Bruno, who taught me just how much love, patience, and daily care go into being a great pet parent. Though he recently passed🙏, the experience of caring for him still shapes how I look after every animal in my care. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or just making sure they’re comfortable and happy while you’re away, I’m here to give them the kind of care you’d want for them. I currently work remotely so I am able to give your pet all the attention they deserve and need. I can leave any time for walks and vet appointments. I’m a responsible and attentive caregiver who takes pet safety seriously. With years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and adapting to each pet’s individual needs.
About: Dogs have always been part of my life. Big, small, and everything in between. Growing up with pups taught me how to love, care for, and understand their unique personalities. I love them all and can’t wait to meet yours! 😀 I have hybrid work environment so I'm home two out of the three days a week if needed. I'm free on most weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets, whether in my own home or in your home home, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable atmosphere. I ensure regular exercise and playtime tailored to their specific needs and preferences, fostering both physical and mental enrichment. Additionally, I will strictly follow any dietary requirements. Constant monitoring of their health and behavior allows for prompt action in case of any emergencies, and I maintain open communication with the pet owner, providing regular updates and pictures.
“Anna has been watching my puppy a few times a week since she was about 4 months old and my puppy always has the best time. Anna is very thorough and follows all of my instructions regarding my dog’s care. I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I have spent my entire life around animals. My home has been shared with cats, dogs, snakes, birds, a rabbit, an iguana. I was also a veterinarian assistant for over a year. I took care of any and every animal that walked through our doors; cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, rabbits. Animals of all sizes. I walked, fed, bathed and cleaned up after them. I cared for them as if they were my own and will continue to do so with every animal entrusted to my care! I am currently working from home but my schedule can be flexible. My daily job and walk times work around each other so please notify me at least 3 days in advance of your booking date and I will try my best to make it work for you! As stated on my profile, I have a strict 7 day cancellation policy applied and it is automatically enforced by the Rover app. This is due to the nature of my day job as I may need to adjust those hours when scheduling a booking of any kind. Please be mindful of this, thank you. I always make sure their sleeping area is clean and tidy and I always make sure there is available fresh water. Food is given at a schedule dependent on the individuals needs. I give plenty of time for play/attention to ensure that they always feel loved and never lonely. Sometimes they want to be left alone and I respect that as well.
“Ashley is great with my pets. They really like her. She is patient and sweet with them. I truly appreciate her communication throughout the visits to let me know they are ok and if it's still a good time to drop in. I am look forward to our next booking coming up in July. I know I can trust her with my pets while we are away.”
About: Hi, I’m Kaila. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will give your dog extra love, you’ve come to the right place! Other than being responsible and caring, my goal is to understand every client’s wants and needs. Let me know if you have any special requests, and I would be sure to accommodate them. I send updates while taking care of your pet so that you can rest assured that your dog is safe with me. I know how much the protection of your pet means to you, so that is my #1 priority! As for my background, I have interned at Oradell Animal Hospital observing surgeries, sitting in on clinical appointments, and familiarizing myself with different dog breeds and their unique personalities and medical needs. I have also worked as a Veterinary Assistant, assisting veterinarians during handling, exams and medical procedures. I have just graduated with my Bachelor's Degree and am working part-time as a medical receptionist so I have extra time to look after your furry loved ones. I have pivoted my career path but I still have a special place in my heart for caring for animals and am on Rover to fulfill that! I can also take care of cats or any small animals. My preference is for smaller animals for doggy daycare/boarding since my apartment is on the smaller side! I am able to provide plenty of quality time with your pups! My schedule is that I work part-time and I try to keep my Calendar updated as much as I can. Safety is a top priority. I always stay attentive when opening/closing front doors and make sure there isn’t anything unsafe on the floor or reachable for your pet! In terms of play, I love to provide your dogs with mental and physical exercise. Bring your dog’s favorite toys and treats, and I’ll be sure to have some fun with them and make your dog feel comfortable. I look forward to get to know you and your wonderful dog soon.

About: I’ve had my dog for 9 years and have grown a loving passion for dogs over the time! I am currently seeking volunteer work at local shelters so that I can have experience with other dogs and understanding their personality, temperment, and personal needs. This way, I am more equipped to service your loving doggo! I’m currently available on Sundays and Mondays after 6 am and before 4 pm, with hopes of extending my available days soon.

About: I currently work at one of the top-rated doggy daycares in Elmwood Park, where I’ve had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience caring for dogs of all different personalities, sizes, and needs. I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and have grown up around them my entire life, learning how to care for them with patience, attentiveness, and compassion. Working with dogs is something that comes naturally to me, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, happy, and comfortable environment where every dog feels loved and cared for. I work morning shifts five days a week, typically from 6 AM to 1 PM, which leaves my afternoons and evenings open for pet care. My days off vary each week, but I’m flexible and love dedicating my free time to caring for animals. I’m available whenever I’m not working and will always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, love, and care. 🐾 I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and completely at home. My own pets are my spoiled babies, and I make sure they have everything they need to live their happiest lives from plenty of playtime and attention to regular meals, potty breaks, and the freedom to be their silly, lovable selves. I create a calm, caring environment where pets can feel comfortable, be themselves, and know they’re in loving hands. When caring for someone else’s pet, I treat them with that same patience, affection, and care I would want for my own.
About: I’m a medical student so I am home studying most of the time. I grew up with small and medium family dogs and have fostered a cat and three kittens in the past. I love taking care of animals! During the weekdays, I am available evenings and overnights. I am available the entire weekend as well. I would just need to know about your booking in advance to prepare myself. My apartment is very spacious and I live in a dog walking friendly community. There is plenty of space for your pet and their supplies. If your pet likes to play or be cuddled, that’s what we’ll do. If they would rather be left alone, I’ll care for them from a distance too!
“Best pet service!! I’m truly happy I found Diane and was able to have her taken care of my two kitties while I was gone for vacation. She is very patient and caring for my little ones and has given me the comfort of knowing they were in good hands while I was away! Will totally rebook her on for next getaway ☺️”
“Melanie came by for a visit just to get to know my kitty, Jinjin before I go away for a week. Melanie was great and was able to get Jinjin out of hiding which was awesome and very reassuring. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have extensive experience working in Veterinary Emergency Care, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety, and how to recognize subtle changes in a pet’s well-being. I provide personalized boarding in my home and accept only one family at a time, allowing me to give each pet individualized attention in a calm, low-stress environment. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, high-energy dogs, anxious pets, and dogs that require additional monitoring or support. I am also happy to reinforce training and routines that owners are already working on at home. I understand that being away from home can be stressful for some pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine and make their stay feel as familiar and comfortable as possible. Whether your dog sleeps in a crate, on a dog bed, on the couch, or in bed with their family, I will follow the routine you have established at home whenever possible. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, secure, and cared for while you’re away. I provide personalized care and keep my schedule flexible so that the pets in my care receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I rarely leave the house for more than an hour, and only occasionally for up to two hours if I need to run an errand. This allows me to provide regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, companionship, and plenty of supervision. Because I only host one family at a time, I am able to give each pet my full attention and maintain the routine they are used to at home. Whether your dog enjoys playing, going for walks, relaxing on the couch, sleeping in a crate, or curling up on the bed, I do my best to make their stay feel comfortable, familiar, and stress-free. Providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment is extremely important to me. My home is organized with pet safety in mind, and I strive to create a peaceful setting where dogs can relax and feel at home. Communication is also a priority, and owners can expect regular photos, videos, and updates throughout their pet’s stay.
About: I just spent a year caring for an adorable English Bulldog and it gave me the skills and wisdom I need to care for yours. Dogs require lots of love, attention and patience and that’s what I have to offer. I am currently working from home so I can help before work, during the day and in the evenings and weekends. I spend a lot of time at home so having a pup here to look after would be perfect! I will ensure that your pups are well taken care of and I will provide a clean, safe and comfortable environment where they’ll feel happy until your return.
“Delaney was amazing! She was so friendly, reliable, and clearly cares about animals. She kept me updated with photos and my cats warmed up to her so quickly. She even went the extra mile to clean their food mat and offered to take out our trash so the house wouldn’t smell when we got home. I came back to happy, relaxed pets and everything spotless. 10/10 would recommend — she’s the best!”

Christina is AMAZING!!! She’s taken care of my cats a few times now, and every time she’s gone above and beyond, treating my fur babies like her own. They are both anxious cats, but love when Christina visits and plays with them while I’m away. I would recommend her to anyone needing drop-ins and boarding for their pets. 🥰
Nicole has been a great sitter for my two cats. We were away for a week and she took really good care of them. My cats have special needs and she followed my request diligently. Her background as a vet tech allows her to handle my cats with confidence and care. She FaceTimed me everyday during the visit so I had great peace of mind. She was very gentle with the cats and they love her. I’ll surely book her again for my next vacation.
I have a really nervous and picky dog, and he warmed up to Chris within minutes!! I’ve had several pet sitters over the years and the only one he loves is his grandpa (husband’s dad). However, Chris has met him three times now and based on pictures alone I can tell my little guy is feeling more and more comfortable each visit. I am definitely a repeat customer! I have another trip in the next couple weeks and am SO glad I can go away without worrying about the stress levels of my pup. Thanks so much Chris + Jack!!
Andrew was awesome. He took care of our 2 cats every day and on-time. He provided updates and several pictures of how our cats were doing. This really helped us enjoy our vacation without worrying too much and one of our cats is just 4 months old. He did a great job.
Michelle was great with my corgi. Communication while arranging the meet and greet could have been better but overall I’m very happy with the care she gave him for the drop-in visits. She listened exactly to what he needed and gave him lots of outside time. I would not hesitate to book with Michelle again.
Caitlin took great care of my 2 cats for a week! She was on time, followed their instructions well, and sent nice summaries. One of my cats is very skittish and she came out to eat and hang out when Caitlin was there. Caitlin spent solid time with them which is very appreciated. Thank you for the peace of mind!!
