“Booked Zach to walk my dog. They went for a nice long walk around the lake which I know my dog loves. He took pictures and updated me about how my dog did after the walk. Zach was very accommodating to my dog’s needs as my dog can be a bit tough to walk (he can be lazy 🐶). Will definitely book again! Thank you Zach!”
“Absolutely love Katelyn. I am very protective of who I allow to walk my Zoey since she is known to be quite a puller and loves to bark. After the meet and greet I felt completely comfortable with Katelyn walking Zoey.”
About: I don't have any professional experience but I grew up with dogs since I was born. I don't have my own pets so I have a lot of time to give yours. I am currently between jobs so I am looking for some income and have an open schedule. I also don't have any pets so I can focus on yours! I will respect your home and pets safety when I visit. I can't wait to play with your pet and make sure while you are away they are cared for and secure.
About: I've had dogs for all my life while I have also pet sat for 5 or more years. I have also done dog walking too! I treat your pets like my own! I am a full time college student looking for some people to help out while I'm at school! I also have reliable transportation so I can get to your home quick/multiple times a day. I tend to like to stick to the animals normal routine. I also like to have dedicated time for just for playtime and if needed send updates to animals owner.
About: I bring a teacher’s touch to caring for your pup! As a former elementary school teacher, I’ve got loads of experience in behavior management, patience, and creative problem-solving. Whether it’s helping a shy pet feel safe or channeling a high-energy pup’s zoomies into a fun game, I know how to keep things running smoothly (and joyfully!). I’m also a bit of a pet-training enthusiast. I’ve even taught my cats to use pet doors and hang out with me unleashed while I garden—basically, I’ve turned them into honorary dogs! They’re super social and cuddly because I believe every animal deserves love, enrichment, and positive interactions. I absolutely LOVE dogs, but we're currently at our max pet capacity. So, I pour my animal affection into my kitties and helping others by volunteering at the DuPage animal shelter, where I get to meet all kinds of amazing furry friends. I've also recently taken on raising and releasing monarchs in an effort to restore the dwindling population. Our garden is a designated Monarch Way Station. I've tagged and released hundreds of monarch butterflies over the last 3 summers. In short, I combine my teaching skills, training know-how, and pure love for animals to give pets—and their people—a fun, safe, and worry-free experience! I am an adjunct instructor. My classes don't reume until September 22nd, so right now, I am available every day. After that, I only will only teach two classes, so I'll have quite a flexible schedule to sit for animals with availability every afternoon and 3 full days a week. I am highly skilled at reading animal body language. The most important thing in keeping animals safe and calm is to determine how they're feeling in order to provide what they need--whether it's space, food, play or something more serious like medical attention. I make sure every animal has a corner of his/her own to take time needed privacy or R&R. I make sure animals in my care have plenty of opportunities to play, are stimulated, cuddled (if that's what they like), fed a healthy diet and feel like a part of the family.

About: I currently have my 6 year old cavapoo, Mr Miles and have taken care of different animals in my life (cats,birds,reptiles,fish) I understand all animals have there unique needs and that it is important to highlight them. I hope to care of your pet as best as I can, as I believe they all deserve the best :) Currently rover is my full time job so I will have PLENTY of time for your pet since I'm always home!

I have experience with very anxious dogs as well so letting them feel comfortable is key
“It’s our first time having someone walk our 5 months old puppy, and Nicole was super nice, communicative and respectful to our puppy ( we had very bad experience with the dog care in Schaumburg). Nicole was above and beyond and our puppy was very happy with her, that’s everything we wanted.”
About: Hi! I’ve been helping take care of dogs my entire life. I raised my own dogs since they were puppies all the way up until they went over the rainbow bridge at the ages at 15. I am a certified dog groomer and have worked for an animal hospital as well. I have been pet sitting for over 10 years and have experience with all ages, sizes, breeds and temperaments. I know how to administer medication and monitor for health issues. I like to be communicative with owners during my visits including sending photos of their pets throughout the day. I like to send the owners a summary of my visit at the end of my stay. I have open availability and like to make accommodations as much and as easy as possible for owners. Feel free to contact me at anytime! I like to be very attentive in all aspects of a dog’s life. I like to make sure all dietary requirements are met. Also if necessary all medications or supplements are given correctly.
“Kassandra is marvelous! She's friendly, kind, and very reliable. My dogs adore her! She's been a great help while I've been recovering from surgery; her dog walking has made Birdie and Gracie so much happier and calmer. I would use her services again in a minute!”
About: I’ve grown up with fury babies my whole life, from birth to old age. I have a lot of patience and love to give. I understand how hard it is for them to be away from their human. I live connecting with my rover friends and their unique needs. So they feel safe and have a comfortable stay. I love sending photos and updates. Im a widow and live with my boys 11 & 14. I’m a certified DSP for people with developmental disabilities, but I’m taking a step back to pursue my own business. I currently working from home and have plenty of time to keep your fur babies company. Smoke free home. I have a big fenced in back yard for them to play, and a sun room for them to relax. I have a friendly 1 year old cockapoo named Baella. I also have an excited 10 year old who loves to rover sit. I dont crate train Baella. A crate is not required. You can bring one if you prefer.

“Nick dog sat for our dogs, two English Mastiffs, a few times while we were out of town and occasional drop-in's when needed. He fed them, walked them, and cleaned up after then. They drooled often, haha! He sent pictures of them while we were away. We felt we could trust him to take care of our babies. The dogs have since passed away but we have continued to have him pop in and take care of our fish and turtle when we are away.”

Stacey G.
“Stacey is an amazing pet sitter! The first time my 9 year old yorkie Carlie met her she fell in love. She usually is very skittish and anxious when new people come in, (and in general) but she went up to her and sniffed and let her pet her. The next time she saw her she was jumping everywhere. She was so good with her. Stacey also went above and beyond by picking up the dog poop without me asking her to! The house was spotless when I came home and my dog was in doggy heaven! My daughters 6 month puppy was here for the weekend too and she did a great job of handling both. Stacey walked them both daily and separately, so again, Above and beyond. Two walks a day! She had her hands full! We will 150% hire her again!”
