House Sitting In West Englewood

“Kathryn went above and beyond taking care of ALL our animals. We received pictures and updates daily. Our pets always looked so relaxed and peaceful in all the pictures. We had a stress free vacation knowing all our babies were well taken care of. We highly recommend Kathryn and will definitely use her again in the future.”

“I came home to happy pups, that’s all I can ask for. Lizbeth was very sweet with my 3 dogs who all differ in personality. She was easy to communicate with and kept me updated while I was away. I will be using her again for future sitting needs.”

Gail S.

“This was our third booking with Jayden, and they took phenomenal care of our dog for the long weekend. They’re communicative and always send updates with pictures. I would highly recommend them to anyone!”

“Nicole is so sweet and communicative! She was quick to respond from the first message I sent her inquiring about her availability. She took good care of our pups and would be happy to have her watch our girls again!”

Kellyn C.

“Nicole was the absolute best with your boy Chico. He need alot of specialized attention and is reactive with other dogs and she navigated everything like a pro. She left our home spotless and was so respectful while staying. We got so many pictures and updates - it was the first trip I had where I didn’t have anxiety about how Chico was doing. She even trimmed his nails and got him a bandana - can’t say enough great things. Will 1000% book with Nicole again”

About: I grew up in a household full of pets and have been lucky to live with people who also own pets, sharing the responsibility. Over the years, I've taken care of many dogs and several cats, rodents (guinea pigs and hamsters), hermit crabs, and fish. I have mostly owned small dogs and have been lucky to see them mature into their senior years, so I am familiar with the unique challenges that can come with age. I do feel comfortable walking and caring for dogs of any size. Right now, my family is fostering two 6-week old puppies who need lots of attention and care, so I am learning a lot about puppies. While I haven't yet charged for my services, I have been trusted by friends, family, and community members since I was 15 to pet-sit and house-sit. I graduated from college a year ago and have been bouncing around a lot, working ground control at music festivals. Between festivals, I need a place to stay, so I am especially looking for house-sitting opportunities to spend my time and have furry friends keeping me company. Other than sits and drop-ins, I'm not working, so I can give your loved ones the time and attention they deserve. I am big into travel, so I've met and lived with animals around the world. I've volunteered at shelters in the Bay Area, SoCal, and Louisiana. I was most recently living on a horse ranch in Georgia (the country) and took care of 2 farm dogs and a kitten. They were very independent and mostly required food, water, and serious cuddles. On the other hand, I've watched pets of various temperaments that had strict diets, medication schedules, and mental and physical health needs. I know every animal is different, and I'm happy to do all I can to care for yours just as you would. If your pet needs to sleep in bed with someone at night or other specific requests, I can do that. I will also be exploring Chicago for the first time, so if your dog has any favorite parks or routes, I would love to know!

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Joz watched my dogs for two weeks and she was great! The communication was perfect! She sent me videos and pics which really helped. She was also very tidy. My home looked nice and neat when I returned. I’m very happy and will definitely be asking her again!”

Amy V.

“Mia was incredible with my cat Stormie! We were able to quickly schedule a meet and greet for her to meet Stormie and I could already tell she genuinely cared. She asked questions about feeding, whether Stormie likes to sleep in the bed, daily routine, and took notes when I explained some food changes due to Stormie's sensitive stomach. It is VERY clear she does truly love and care for animals. We had Mia watch Stormie for the weekend and came back to the apartment being clean, litterboxes were empty and freshly cleaned, etc. Mia sent regular updates as well with photos and videos of Stormie so I knew that everything was going smoothly. She also sent messages regularly about how they were playing with toys, how Stormie was doing, etc. I 100% will book with Mia again as I truly never felt more comfortable with someone watching my baby before now.”

“Alexa was a very thoughtful, thorough, and kind sitter. She followed all the house rules and Nala rules. She left our home better than when we came back. We will definitely hire her again.”

Chelsey C.

“Ava was wonderful with our 3 pups. She knew how to manage their chaos and treated them so sweetly. She left the place looking great and really just went above and beyond. We will definitely be using her services again.”

Gail S.

“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.

“Haley did such a great job staying with our dog Mack! She followed all of our instructions and made sure he felt comfortable while we were out of town! She left our house in perfect shape and even emptied our dishwasher which she absolutely didn’t need to do! I would use Haley again in a heartbeat!”

Erin D.

“Was great with our 4 cats. We came back home and they were well taken care of. Provided pictures while we were gone and was helpful.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a child. I’ve loved animals since I can remember and I am very passionate about their wellbeing. I have experience with a variety of breeds and with senior care. I have not had a a dog in my home since my 17 year old chihuahua, Taco Bell, passed away last year. He was my heart and with not having a furry friend at home any longer any chance I’ve gotten to interact with any pup since has filled me with so much joy. Pets are family and I will care for yours as if they were my own. I’m just getting started on Rover and my schedule is very flexible. I can work my day around your pet and their needs. If you choose me as a repeat sitter I will gladly adapt to your pets schedule. I care for others pets as if they were my own. I’m currently unable to host pets in my own home but I will gladly take care of your baby in the comfort of their own home. Being in a familiar environment will help your pet feel more at ease and comfortable. I will be mindful and respectful of your space while I am there. I will follow whatever routines you have in place for your pet to ensure their peace and happiness.

“Jasmine was amazing yet again with my dobie, Storm. I had some last minute emergency changes to my trip and her flexibility and understanding really put me at ease during a stressful time, I'm so grateful for her support! Super communicative, Jasmine took great care of my girl and my place too. Also, Storm is reactive to other dogs and I trust Jasmine to know how to deal with that. Highly recommend.”

Michelle S.

“This was our first time using a rover and we are so incredibly thankful we trusted Kendyll with our pups! She cared for our high energy dog and our elderly dog as well as we do. She was on top of their medication, sent regular updates with pictures, & left our house and yard in great condition. We recommend her services as well as will definitely use her in the future!”
