“Zoe is everything you would want in a dog sitter and so much more!!! She communicated well and was super kind and flexible throughout. Our 3-month old puppy loved her and kept looking for her after she left!! She sent pictures and videos and was very tuned into the needs of our puppy. We highly recommend her without reservation!”

“Kelso was great watching my 12-week old puppy for the day! I was worried because it was our first time leaving him with a sitter, and Kelso rally put us at ease and took great care of him. Would recommend and use again for sure!”

“Milagros did a good job taking care of our dogs while we were away. She was reliable, communicated well, sent photos, and made sure they were well fed and walked.”

“Perniall was great with the dogs. Patient with our one dog who is a bit barky to new people in the home and we successfully had no accidents from our puppy for the day”

About: I’ve lived with dogs my entire life. Everything from labs, adopted mutts, terriers, vizslas, poodles, goldendoodles, big, medium, and small. I have yet to meet a breed that I can't whisper to. While my profile on Rover is new, I have been walking and house-sitting dogs on the side for years, for neighbors in the area and a small network of family friends I've kept up since middle school. Additionally, I am a serious runner and regularly put in 20-30 miles a week. If you have a Vizsla, Greyhound, Weimaraner, or any other high-energy breed that needs a run to blow off some steam, please reach out! I’d love to take them out with me on the trails. Primarily, I serve the West Suburbs, West Loop, and North Side neighborhoods; I currently reside in the Oak Park area, and attend the UIC campus on Harrison and Halsted. Please note: To ensure the absolute best and safest care for your pup, I do require a quick Meet & Greet before accepting any first-time bookings Looking forward to hearing from you. I am currently in summer school at UIC, and will be in class from 8am to noon on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so your dog would be alone for about 4 hours on those days. Before I leave, they will get a good walk, and when I'm back they'll spend the rest of the day with me doing homework, tutoring, or getting outside for a walk or run. I always treat every dog like my own. I make sure they are secure, comfortable, get all the pets and treats they need, and are never alone longer than necessary. You will also receive daily updates along the way, so you'll always know how they're doing.

“Emmalyn was great, she made us feel so comfortable traveling knowing our dogs were so well cared for! She sent so many good pictures and left our place nice and tidy for our return. She was good with the dogs and we could tell they didn’t feel stress in our absence.”

“Diane continues to be our most favorite, go-to sitter! Our dog is always happy and calm when we come home, she communicates thoroughly throughout the day, and I have 100% confidence that our dog is cared for & loved!”

“Justice took good care of my dog and four cats. She was very communicative and had to follow a medication regimen and somewhat complicated feeding system. I will definitely book her again when I’m next out of town!”

“Callie was awesome with our dog, Charlie! She stayed at our house and sent tons of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. It’s clear he had such a fun time hanging with Callie. She took the time to learn about Charlie’s quirks and I felt confident that he was in good hands while my husband and I were traveling. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter and hope to have her watch Charlie again in the future.”

“Bethany did great with my 15 week puppy Ziggy. He was tired out and a happy guy when I got back. I’d recommend Bethany anytime she took great care of my pup!”

“Cheryl has taken care of Maggie a number of times over the last couple years. Maggie loves her and we can travel without any worries, knowing she is in good hands. Cheryl is great!”

“Molly did a fantastic job with my dog Sammy! He can be a bit sad and anxious when I leave home, but she made him comfortable and gave him lots of snuggles. Molly sent lots of pics during her stay and left my house tidy. Would highly recommend her for house sitting your pup!”

“Faith did a fantastic job! She was quick to respond, sent us lots of photos of our dogs while we were away, and handled some issues with frozen pipes while we were out of state. We would absolutely use her again in the future!”

“Fiona was an all around excellent pet sitter. From the initial consult to the key return she was communicative and professional. She took such good care of my girls and my home, and sent plenty of updates and pictures! She truly went above and beyond for me and my pets and handled every hiccup (on my end) with tact and kindness. I will be booking her everytime I need a sitter! :)”

“Carlyle took great care of our cats and dog when we went out of town for 4 days. Our anxious cat warmed up quickly to Carlyle (which is rare!) and our other pets were happy and well cared for. We will definitely book Carlyle again in the future.”

“Jessica was so communicative, clean and kind!! She has a calm energy that our golden retriever was drawn to immediately. We received lots of updates and pictures while we were away and came home to a very clean apartment. Our dog seemed very satisfied with all the walks and playtime which he needed. Definitely recommend! 😊”

“WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALEISHA!! Our dogs loved her the minute she came to meet them. She is Very communicative, thoughtful, friendly and sweet. Her love for dogs is clearly noticeable as she went above every time to make sure they where happy. Long walks, pets, ball throws. She was super happy to take our girls to their grooming appointments too. Also, Our house was spotless when we came back. Very respectful and trustworthy Thank you Aleisha for taking the worry out of traveling!! 🐶🐶❤️”

“Tammy was a fantastic sitter for my cat Solana! She was so kind and asked all detailed questions about my cat’s medication and food schedule. I loved all the picture updates she gave of how my cat was doing while I was out of town. Thank you Tammy!”

Kirsten was absolutely awesome! We needed a sitter for an extended time as we were on vacation for about a week and a half, and we got updates and adorable photos every day. Kirsten was great at administering Skippy's medication and helping him with his mobility issues (he's a senior, tripawd pup.) It was clear Skippy got comfortable with her very quickly, and Kirsten also provided comfort to him during the bane of every dog owner's summer...the fireworks during 4th of July. We came home to a happy dog and a very clean house! Highly recommend...thanks so much for treating Skippy like your own, Kirsten!

Maya was amazing with Lobo; I wish she wasn't moving because he really seemed to enjoy her. He was so mad when she left, and he wanted her to come back. She went out of her way to make him comfortable and got him through the Fourth of July. He is a needy guy, so I am super grateful that Maya was able to handle his neediness and give him the love he needs. She left the place super clean and sent me tons of photos and videos of Lobo (which kept me at ease). She even bought him treats :) Thank you, Maya!!

Caline is so great!! We came home to a very happy dog after Caline spent a long holiday weekend with her. She was reliable and frequently shared updates/phots. She was also very patient with our energetic and overly affectionate dog. Would absolutely recommend Caline as a sitter, and we plan to reach out to her again in the future.

Nicole is a SUPERSTAR sitter. You can tell she is a true animal lover. She took such good care of my cat Nora and calmed my anxiety with frequent updates and pictures! I felt so relieved knowing she was at my home with Nora and I could relax on my vacation. I have already booked Nicole again for a future trip, and I highly recommend using her as a sitter for all your pet needs!

Justice is absolutely wonderful! She is so friendly and caring and we had zero worries while we were away. She was communicative, punctual and handled a completely unexpected event with calmness and professionalism. I would recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.

Molly did a fantastic job with my dog Sammy! He can be a bit sad and anxious when I leave home, but she made him comfortable and gave him lots of snuggles. Molly sent lots of pics during her stay and left my house tidy. Would highly recommend her for house sitting your pup!

Reshunda watched my two dogs while I was out of the country. She was very communicative, punctual, and responsive. Even before the dog sitting began, she asked great questions, such as how best to care for our dogs in times of thunderstorms. We love our dogs, but they have their difficulties, and Reshunda was very patient and thoughtful and worked hard to give them everything they needed to feel safe and comfortable. Thank you so much, Reshunda!

Jeremy was outstanding. He was very responsive and communicative and paid attention when we did oureet and greet and it showed because he did everything I asked and kept me updated with the dogs and my geckos. He left my place better than I left it and the dogs and geckos were in good shape. I highly recommend him for house-sitting and dog sitting.
