“Justice is fantastic and took great care of my dog! I really appreciated the updates and her attention to detail. It made the whole experience stress-free and I would highly recommend her!”

“Megan did an excellent job looking after our two cats while we were on vacation. Each time I communicated with her before the trip, she responded promptly. She also provided detailed information after her two drop-in visits.”

“Hope was so thorough, communicative, and lovely to work with. I've become a more anxious pet parent as our cats have gotten older and she immediately made me feel at ease. She cared for them as if they were her own, sent great pictures, and I will absolutely be reaching back out to her when we need pet care again! Thank you so much, Hope!”

“Caline was very quick to respond to my last minute request for drop in visits for our 2 cats for 9 days and very easy to work with. Communication was great. Took the initiative to ask about things this first time Rover client forgot to tell her. Shared photos for every visit which we really appreciated. Thank you!”

Hi my name is Adolfo and I live with my lovely wife Estefania, We are a couple that shares a passion and love for animals, specially dogs.

If you decide to book any dog sittings or boarding with us, you can be confident that your fur friend will always be in the best caring hands. On top of that, your dog will always have our attention as we both work from home.

In their stay, they are going to spend their free time in a full fenced yard with fresh water; ready for them to play and exercise. We will also ensure the safety of your dog by supervising them at all times while they have a great time in the yard. Please Note: At this time we are only looking for dogs that are neutered/spayed and that are not aggressive towards any other dogs for the safety of other dogs.

About: I’ve been trusted taking care of dogs and other exotic pets such as chickens, bunnies and guinea pigs for years. It’s such a rewarding experience! I really value being able to make pets feel comfortable even when their people are away. I’m currently home from college for the summer and have no other serious commitments. During the school year, I am also able to schedule around classes. However, for the next 3 months pet care can be my main priority. In my home, I have a medium sized backyard with a 6-foot fence. As well as a back room that has a gate for my very friendly dog. In other homes, I take detailed notes of necessary safety precautions and protocols to prioritize pet safety.
About: 3 dog owner here, including a tripod. Two boys and a girl all came to us from people who could no longer care for them. Two were from former students and one from the husband of a colleague. I'm a full-time teacher and I also want to play with your dogs. My school hours are 7:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. I am happy to work out drop off, pick up, hang out time and potty breaks. My dogs have front and back fenced-in yards to hang out and run around. They are able to roam the house all day. They go on walks twice a day and we have recently incorporated logic toys to keep them sharp.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for over 10 years now. I have experience with non-neutered cats and elderly dogs with sicknesses. I’ve done all things such as playing, feeding, walking dogs, bathing, distributing medicine, and taking any animals to vet appointments. I’ve worked with kittens to adults cats and with adult to elderly dogs. I tried to prioritize as much time as I can to any animal I take care of. I currently work part-time at my other job so I am very flexible! I will be going to college in the fall, but for the summer I'm available during the weekends on Fridays through Mondays during mornings and afternoons. I'm away for house sitting at the moment, but the longest I could sit would be up to 8 hours. Please let me know your own preferences when it comes to drop in's and dog walking, I'd be happy to settle with you! My home is not in use for in use for boarding. I could meet with you before services through a personal meet up or by a video call, what ever you feel most comfortable with! I will always look after my environment in every setting I'm in.
About: I have cared for pets for over 5 years, providing love, exercise, and companionship. I am experienced in feeding, walking, bathing dogs and administering medications. Pet care is integrated into my daily routine with scheduled feeding, and playtime. I ensure they receive attention and care consistently, making their well-being a top priority and it's so easy when I work from home. I provide a loving environment, playtime, and adhere to feeding schedules, and I ensure their safety, comfort, and happiness because after all they are family. Please note my Home is in the 2nd floor so there's a good amount of stairs!
“Second time I've booked Roy to care for my kitty. I always receive greatly written reports and photos. Roy is super cool and really makes the most out of the time.”

“Great walker! Very reliable, punctual, and caring. My dog was happy and well taken care of, and I really appreciated the updates and photos during the walk. You can tell they genuinely love animals and treat them with care. I would definitely book again and highly recommend!”

“Jade was amazing! I was nervous to leave my cat for a whole week now that i don’t have roommates to look after her but she gave great updates every visit and my cat loved her!”

About: I have dog sat many of times and even trained to become a service dog volunteer. I have dog sat for a few month old puppies to 14 year old dogs. My days are flexible, I work from home and love taking walks around the neighborhood during lunch break and after work. I have a wood turtle that likes to keep to himself in the terrarium, and most dogs and cats don't even know he is there. When I am pet sitting, I plan events and out of home activities, so I am no more than 3-4 hours away from the animals. I am very attentive to dogs needs. We play inside and go on walks around the neighborhood or go to Palmer Square or Humboldt park. I stick strictly to dog owner schedule and make sure to send owner updates! I live in a two-bedroom apartment on the second floor so the dog would have to be ok mobility wise with stairs to and from the building.

Hope was so thorough, communicative, and lovely to work with. I've become a more anxious pet parent as our cats have gotten older and she immediately made me feel at ease. She cared for them as if they were her own, sent great pictures, and I will absolutely be reaching back out to her when we need pet care again! Thank you so much, Hope!

Michele is my go-to sitter when I’m traveling because she’s so reliable, kind, and good with my sweet kitty. She always sends thoughtful updates and lots and lots of pictures, which means so much to me when I’m traveling and missing my cat. I would recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind with their pets when they’re going out of town.

Highly recommend Adrianna! Adrianna watched our three cats for 5 days, coming by twice a day. Having multiple cats is already a handful, but one of our cats is diabetic and requires regular insulin shots. Adrianna handled the medication perfectly and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She kept up with the daily feeding, cleaned the litter boxes, and made sure everyone got plenty of cuddles and attention. She is reliable, professional, and clearly loves animals. We will absolutely be booking her again!

Cris watched our 3 cats for us while we were out of town for a long weekend. I felt like she was very thorough and provided excellent care for them while we were away. She kept us updated and sent plenty of pictures for our peace of mind. Overall great experience!!

Thank you Karli for taking such great care of our kitty while we were away! We so appreciate the extra effort you took to get our shy girl to come out of her shell. Knowing that you were giving her love and affection while we were away gave us comfort that she was in good hands. We will definitely be rebooking you again!

Michaela was fabulous! She went above and beyond to take care of my elderly cats. Kept them fed and watered, but also cleaned up when they left "presents" outside the litter box. Gave them plenty of attention when they wanted it. Can't recommend highly enough. She was even happy to make an extra visit when we needed her to.

Cathleen is an incredible sitter for anyone’s pet. She takes time to ask questions and get to know you and your pet so you know they will be in great hands while you’re away. I would recommend Cathleen for anyone looking for a reliable sitter for their next trip/time away. Thanks so much Cathleen!!

This was my first time using Rover as a relatively new pet owner. I was a bit nervous about leaving my cat for a few days but Autumn did an excellent job of communicating and caring for my cat. She helped put my mind at ease and I came back home to a happy and healthy kitty.
