“Noah is AMAZING! Very much self directed and the only person I've hired who was able to both arm and disarm the alarm in their own. I was able to really enjoy my time away. My dogs love Noah.”



“We used Daphne for a few months to help us let our dog out while we were at work! She was always amazing! Sent a ton of photos, and always kept us updated! Would definitely recommend her!”

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life. My mom is a biologist so she taught me from a very young age how every living thing has a soul and a place in this world. She would pick up mice and spiders that got into our home with her hands and take them outside (instead of killing them). Needless to say, I am very comfortable around animals. I’ve had dogs and cats as pets my whole life and I consider myself pretty good with them, even when meeting stray cats or other people’s dogs in the street; I am very patient with them and always let them feel confident with me before I pet them. I have never house-sat for dogs before but I have taken care of roommate’s and friend’s dogs while they are at work or out of town, feeding them, and taking them for walks, etc. I have house-sat for my mom’s cat before (at the end of 2021, actually, for her birthday) which you can read about in my testimonials. Full-disclosure – I’m currently looking for a part-time job so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I have a car so I can drive over to you, just let me know what your daily and weekly needs are so we can figure out a schedule :) I’m currently not allowed to have any fur babies at my apartment so I will give your pups all the attention and play-time they want. Like I said above, I’ll let them get comfortable with me at their own pace but, of course, take care of their basic needs like food, water, and walks. Just let me know how they do with other dogs on the street and with other humans – if they’re shy, really energetic, etc.

“Migle is awesome!! Huck immediately loved her from their first meeting. Sent photos of huck before, during, and after the walk which was very much appreciated. Will be booking again!”


“Victoria is a terrific dog walker, provided thorough updates and pics as well. Also a great communicator, reliable and trustworthy! Would definitely recommend and will be reaching out next time!”


“Deana was great at communication, recording the walks, and keeping my pup so happy! Will use again. If your dog/pet is your best friend/baby, you can trust that Deana will take amazing care of them!”


“Alexis is the best! Was super attentive and loved on my pup while I was gone to make sure she was let out throughout the day. She gave me updates and kept Miss Mae entertained (and exhausted--a plus). Could not recommend Alexis more!! Will be booking with her again :)”


“Kelsey has been great! Raja absolutely loves her Kelsey sends daily pics of a very happy dog! Have used Kelsey multiple times and will continue to use her. I highly recommend Kelsey for anyone's fur baby needs!”


About: I grew up in a house, and with a mother, who always had a furry friend running around. I enjoyed this so much that I started a pet sitting company when I was 10. I cared for all types of animals (dogs, cats, and rabbits). Although my 10 year old company did not continue until today, my love for animals does. I’ve fostered and watched animals and am hoping to continue to work with whatever pets and furry friends you have in your home. As a middle school teacher, the summer break strongly contrasts the school year. During the summer I am free at almost all hours of the day and am more than willing to work with you at a convenient time for both you and your pet. I am comfortable walking and crating your pet. I’m also happy to take your pet out whether it’s in the yard or along the streets and sidewalks nearby. I also have a car and am happy to take any dogs to the dog park (as long as they don’t mind a car ride).


About: I am grew up in family with many pets. My family breed basset hounds for a few years. As an adult, I've always owned dogs of various breeds, including some adopted from a shelter. One sweet dog my daughters and I adopted after it was hit by a car. Dogs have always been a part of my family. I have been a pet sitter for friends and family. I am trustworthy, reliable, and responsible. I have always enjoyed walking and playing with dogs. I walk my dogs in Audubon park often. I would take excellent care of your dog. I would make sure all their needs are met. I am available in the early morning, afternoon, and evening both weekdays and weekends. I look forward to caring for your dog.

About: I have always been passionate about animals and grew up being a "Dog Girl". I would opt to study dog breeds before bed instead of bed time stories and quiz my parents on walks and car rides. I've cared for Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Yorkies, and French Bulldogs all the way up to Giant Schnauzers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, and Labradoodles! Once I moved out on my own and moved into a studio apartment I realized that I may not have room physically for a dog but I would be able to help out cats who are waiting for their furever homes. I have been fostering cats for 5 years and have been able to help cats in both Chicago and New Orleans acclimate to home life as they await their adoption. I have "Foster Failed" and do have my own cat, Dolly, who is my constant companion. I often care for my friends animals in the area and look forward to meeting your fury family member! I do have blocks of time through out the day where I can check in and spend time with your fur baby. I have a pretty flexible schedule but it does fluctuate. I would be able to work with your animal's schedule but it will depend sometimes week to week or month to month. I have a lot of free time in early morning, around lunch and late evenings every day with most days having free afternoons and/or evenings. I will not be hosting animals in my home at this time but I do have space for animals as I often foster shelter cats in my home.

“I cannot say enough good! Christopher has helped me so much with my new rescue. As a traveling nurse who works long, impossible hours he has helped me transition my dog into his new life. It has been such a relief to know my dog is in such trusting and capable hands!”


About: I have always loved dogs growing up we always had 2 dogs at a time. I have my own dog now and he is my everything. I love to go on walks, go to the park etc. just like the dogs do! I work from home so while I do take meetings during the day, I will still be able to give your pet the attention they deserve during the day. I have a dog as well so even if I am in a meeting, my dog is very playful so he will keep your furry friend company I have a fenced yard and one pup that will keep your dog company. He is very playful and loves other dogs. If you would like to crate your dog I have a crate for them or you can provide your own.

About: I work 100% remotely and love spending time caring for pets. I have experience fostering and raising puppies and enjoy the unique challenges of training. As a sitter, I love to communicate regularly with the pet parents, sending pictures of their furry friend and I. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your beloved pet! - Amanda I work 100% remotely and can be around for your pet whenever, including weekdays and weekends. I am thrilled to have a very flexible schedule to meet your pets needs! I prefer to be in your home and ensure that your pet feels safe and comfortable in its own environment. I communicate regularly and love to send pictures. If you feel it’s best, please inquire about leaving your pet at my house; although the indoor space is relatively small, I have an entirely fenced in, grassy backyard.

About: As a retiree, I have adequate time to devote to 1 to 1 care for well-behaved, small to medium dogs and cats too. I prefer to give one on one care for your special pet in my cozy, smoke-free, fenced home. I am a nurse by profession, so administering most medications or therapies is not a problem. With adequate notice, I prefer to meet your pet beforehand in a complimentary visit/stay, to secure any anxieties. Complete comfort is my goal, so you can enjoy your travels knowing your pet is secure with me. I am available seven (7) days per week and am rarely gone more than 2-3 hours, so potty breaks or medication administration are always available for your pet. I have safely boarded loving pets of family and neighbors without incident. I have a fenced yard for their safety and leash walk in my uptown neighborhood, as permitted by weather and animal disposition.

“Rosie was raised in a family with several pets, including cats, dogs, and a fish. She enjoyed playing with them and taking care of their needs, but especially respecting them in a responsible way.

It was a relief to have left my dear cat with someone who truly knew how to lovingly take care of her. I definitely recommend her as a dog sitter.”

“I am super picky & discerning, & I believe Cody did a great job. Cody is super friendly & has great energy. I would definitely choose Cody again!”


Hannah W.
“Hannah is a great friend, but more importantly for this testimonial, a loving and responsible caregiver to my dog Archie. Hannah has watched Archie multiple times while we have gone on vacation, and she is always very tentative to his needs and ensuring his routine is not too interrupted. She loves and cares for Archie like one of her own pets, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. In addition, while staying at our house, she was clean and kept the house in order while we were away. I am very thankful for all Hannah has done for us, and leaving Archie with her definitely takes the stress away of leaving your pet behind.”

“A shout out to wonderful Pauline, for making my pet Lucy and my life so much easier! I needed a pet sitter for my cherished dog Lucy, and I reached out to Pauline and she was so quick to respond and did a great job filling in as dog mom:) It’s so nice knowing I have somebody I can call now that I trust and who’s so great with my cherished pet. Thanks again Pauline, Lucy can’t wait to come over next time! Kathy”
West Riverside dog parents share their Rover experiences
Margarida was great with Freddie. She replied very quickly my last minute request, it was easy to communicate with, and her report card was very sweet and had 12 photos of their walk which is always so nice to see while I’m away form my dog. Thank you Margarida!

First time having Cody as my pet sitter/walker and I'm so pleased with the level of attentive care and service! Cody was recommended to me by a friend with multiple pets as well for my 4 day trip out of town, and came to my house twice a day to care for my dogs during a very busy jazz festive time. Despite my dogs being very nervous and chaotic in the beginning, Cody was patient and gentle, not to mention very communicative the entire time, and my babies finally calmed down and loved their daily visits and walks. 10/10, 5 stars and will be booking with Cody in the future! Thank you!

She stayed in contact with me. Very good with my dog. I eat her in person, super nice. Great handling my dog, she can be a challenge sometimes. Walked a nice distance for the 30 mins together. Moxy was happy upon return. Valentina also follows instructions well, and was flexible with my schedule.
