House Sitting in West Elsdon, Chicago

About: We’ve always had pets growing up, but for the past year, we’ve been full-time pet sitting - living in people’s homes and caring for their dogs and cats like our own :) We recently joined Rover to take that experience to the next level. In just the last six months, we’ve cared for over 30 dogs and cats, plus goats, pigs, chickens, and more. Trusted by people across the country, we focus on your peace of mind and your pet’s comfort - with a personal approach to every single tail, big or small 🐶🐈 We both work from home - Jackson is a content creator, and I’m an artist, so most of our day is spent at home. That means we’re always around and ready to give pets our full attention. Walks? At least twice a day, sometimes three for extra needy tails. You can count on our full dedication and real presence with your pets, as if you never left :) Any specific needs will be met with attention and care. After a full year of live-in pet sitting, taking care of someone else’s home has become second nature to us - just like caring for their pets. We treat every home with the same respect and attention we give to the animals inside it. We always take time to understand each home’s quirks and perks - from alarm systems and key codes to mail, plants, and feeding routines. We’re also very careful when it comes to allergies, restricted foods, and no-gos - making sure to avoid any emergency situations before they even have a chance to happen. You can count on us not just for your pet’s wellbeing, but for your peace of mind. Your home stays safe, cared for, and just the way you left it. You’ll receive daily updates and photos of your pets, and any concerns you may have will be fully addressed with care.

“Otis did a great job with Bonita, she was happy and healthy after 15 long day away. There was lack of communication but overall I recommend him to take care of your doggy.”

“We’ve got one special needs dog and two elderly cats that need very specific diets and medications. We’ve also got one more dog and cat! Brianna came in at the last minute for us to take care of everyone and after getting home it’s clear how much love everyone got from her thank you so much for taking such great care of everyone and sitting for us.”

Alston R.

“Alexa did a wonderful job taking care of our dog in our home over a long holiday weekend. She was communicative, made sure Beau got his walks and play time, left our home clean and our dog happy. She followed our instructions on everything and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. We hope our dog wasn’t too crazy for her, but we would gladly welcome her back! So grateful we found Alexa.”

“We had an excellent experience with Malcomn while visiting Chicago! He took amazing care of our two large dogs, keeping them happy, exercised, and loved while we were away. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”

Eve S.

“Montserrat was GREAT! She agreed to come over a few days before our booking to meet our squad, which we really appreciated. During her stay, she sent us many updates with tons of pictures! This was our first time using Roover and we were nervous but she quickly made us feel very comfortable about leaving. I would highly recommend asking Montse to watch your fur babies! I will definitely rebook with Montse for our next vacation.”

Sarah M.

“My Dog Dottie loved Ava! Dottie has tons of energy and Ava spoiled her with long walks and lots of dog park trips. I felt so relieved that my pup was in great hands. Ava sent lots of pictures and updates and left the house nicer than she found it. The best! Already booking her again”

Amanda B.

“Cristian was AMAZING! I could not have had a better first experience on rover than with Cristian, hopefully if he’ll have us we WILL be booking him again! Constantly updated us and let us know what was going on with my girl 🐶 she seemed happy in every picture sent! Couldn’t be happier with the service, really went above and beyond”

Ruby C.

“Kat was AMAZING. It was my first time leaving my senior pup with a non family member. I was so worried to leave him but Kat assured me that he would be well taken care of. He absolutely was! Kat communicated multiple times daily and sent pictures! It was awesome to see my pup enjoying his babysitter! I came home to an immaculate home as a bonus. I am so thankful to have found Kat and will be a repeat customer!”

Vicki F.

“Khia took care of our puppy in our home, and we couldn't have been more pleased with her services. Khia did an excellent job looking after Uno while we were away. She was reliable, responsible! It was clear that Khia not only met our expectations but exceeded them with her attention to detail and proactive communication. We highly recommend Khia to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”

Ashley D.

“Alex was quick to respond to all inquiries, sent updates and pics of my Kashmir. She is pretty timid of men in general but quickly warmed up to Alex. He took extra care as she is recovering from her double ACL surgery and was on restrictions. A+++”

About: I have two cats at home that I absolutely adore and would love to cat sit. My eldest is almost 5 years old and the youngest cat almost two years old and full of energy! I genuinely enjoy caring for cats so l'd love the opportunity spend time with more cats. I’m a teacher and currently on summer break. Thus, until the end of August, I’m able to check-in as many or little times on family fur baby! I treat every cat that I’m sitting as if it were my own. That sounds like the bare minimum, but if you really knew me, you’d see how obsessed I am with my cats. Your cat will not only be taken care of but it’ll also feel loved!

“Jacky was wonderful! So quick and easy to communicate and set up a meet and greet with. We needed dog sitting for a weekend. Our dogs are reactive to people and after explaining this to Jacky, she was up for seeing if it will work. My dogs took to her very quickly!! We got updates and pictures, including how well they were acclimating to her! We can’t thank her enough and will definitely be booking her services again!”

About: Lifelong animal lover. From watching animal planet to owning multiple pets throughout my life. I believe pets should be comfortable and happy. They give us that and more so they deserve nothing less. So much so that my first tattoo was of one of my dogs. I have many years of experience taking care of pets; family’s, friends’ or mine’s. I have trained multiple dogs to varying degrees. I have owned cats in the past and still actively play and take care of my partner’s and friends’ cats.

I have a very open schedule and can take care of any size pet as I own my home with a backyard. I’m also very knowledgeable and comfortable with the Chicagoland area so I can travel anywhere in or around the city. I have an open schedule and a full-size home with a backyard.
