“Jason has been a huge help taking care of my dogs a couple times a week. They love him! He leaves detailed notes, asks questions as needed, and sends lots of pics. Thanks Jason!”
“Erica was great. She was able to accommodate a last minute request and even was able to do a meet and greet before. My dog is a senior so she didn't need a long walk. Erica offered to sit with her in the house after because the walk was short. I thought that was nice that she asked. She had great communication and I appreciate that. I'll be using Erica again. Thank you so much for caring for my sweet girl.”
“Cathy is incredible! Right from the start, she offered to come meet my dog ahead of time and as soon as she walked in I knew she would be a great fit. She took the time to play with him, pet him, and let him get to know her. As a result, when she arrived to pick him up for his walk, he was happy to see her! This extra care to getting to know my dog (and letting him get to know her!) is so appreciated - especially since I have had other walkers give up on him. I would recommend Cathy to anyone who is looking for a caring and compassionate sitter or walker.”
“Rizzo had a great time with Maria! She kept us updated and even extended his walk for an additional 15 minutes. Maria met with us beforehand to meet Rizzo and see where we keep everything. Would definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs almost all my life. I am also close relatives first option when it comes to looking after their pets. I’m am currently looking for a job so I have lots of time to help look after your pets. I have lots of free time so I can take care of pets daily/weekly. I have a fenced in yard with one dog and I also live with five cats all of which are very friendly and looking to have more pet friends.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was nearly 14 years old. I have a cat currently, and have had dogs off and on for most of my life. I am often available on Mondays until 3 pm, Wednesdays until noon, Fridays all day, Saturdays all day, and Sundays all day. I have a lot of time available despite a full time job. I do not offer sitting or boarding, my apologies. However, I do offer walks and drop-ins. Thank you for considering me as someone to care for your kitty or pup!
About: I have a really deep love for dogs, especially senior pups. I’m naturally gentle, patient, and attentive, which I think older dogs really respond to. I take the time to understand each dog’s unique needs and personality—whether they’re shy, slow-moving, or just need a little extra comfort. I truly care for every dog like they’re my own, and I find real joy in creating a calm, safe space where they can feel at ease. Caring for pets fits really naturally into my routine because I truly enjoy it—it doesn’t feel like a chore to me. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, check-ins, feeding, and cuddles throughout the day. I’m used to structuring my day around a pet’s needs, whether that’s slow morning strolls for older pups, medication routines, or just being a calm presence nearby. I’m happy to adjust to whatever makes your pet feel safe and cared for. I always treat a client’s home with the same respect I’d want someone to have in mine—clean, quiet, and mindful. When I’m in their space, I try to keep things as calm and familiar as possible for the pet. I stick closely to their usual routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, medications, or just how they like to relax. I move slowly, especially with older or anxious dogs, and I pay close attention to their comfort. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and never alone.
“Abby continues to provide the quality of care that we give to our dog and goes above and beyond to give him as much love and attention as he is accustomed to!”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m currently a stay-at-home pup parent, training our new puppy to become a therapy dog—so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I bring that same love and dedication to every pet I care for. I also have experience with cat sitting, so I’m comfortable with multi-pet households. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, some calm company, or extra attention, I’m here to treat them like family. As a stay-at-home puppy mom, pet care is truly part of my everyday life. I spend several hours each day working on training, socializing, and caring for our puppy, who we're raising to become a therapy dog. This means my schedule naturally revolves around animals—and I love it that way! I'm available Monday through Thursday for walks and drop-ins, and I bring the same patience, structure, and love to your pets as I do with my own. When it comes to pet care, safety and trust are my top priorities. At home, I create a calm, secure environment with consistent routines, positive reinforcement, and lots of love. I’m always attentive to my puppy’s needs and use gentle, reward-based training to build confidence and good behavior. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or on a walk, I treat them with the same level of attention, respect, and care I give my own. You can trust that your pet is in kind, capable hands.
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was 15. Neighbors, friends, family have all relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their fur babies. I’m an animal lover who used to be a jr. Naturalist; I love all animals. I’m currently working a before school care program and an after school care program with the park district. I am available for walking pets starting at 9am-3pm (Monday- Friday) all year round. For pet setting it depends on the time and date. I live in a townhouse with a family friendly neighborhood; I don’t have a fenced in yard, however, I do have a park that we can let them ran around. Your pet won’t be lonely in our home we have a fur baby ourselves, Nigel (west highland terrier). I would look after your fur baby like my own, walks three to four times a day, fed as often as needed, play time, love and compassion. Your fur baby is apart your family and will be cared for that way.
“Spencer is great with my dog as well as the most reliable dog-walker I’ve met via Rover. My dog who is very high-energy is always worn out from their walks. He also really enjoys his walks with Spencer and gets super excited when he sees him!”

About: I'm a huge dog mom and the type of person who will stop and pet every single dog on the street. A perk is that your pup will have a buddy in the house! Because my apartment is already used to taking care of my little dude, Cooper, I love bringing in other dogs so that he has someone to play with. Cooper is an 8 month old pup that's full of character and loves to play - he gets along with everyone! I’ll love and take care of your dog like my own. I work remotely, so I'm always home! This makes it easy for potty breaks or walks, as I like to do both through out the day. I also have a car if they want to come on errands with me, and a doggy camera for anytime I'm away. We have a fenced in back yard and live on the first floor. Pups are permitted on the furniture and to sleep in bed! Plenty of space and dog friendly.
About: I’ve always taken care of my friends’ family dogs at home whenever they go on vacation. They trust me with their dogs because I’m responsible and care for them just like they’re my own pets! I’m available in the morning 8am to 1:30pm Tuesday Thursday Friday. Then in the evenings I am free! Depending on the weekend I am available as well! I’m so excited to make new furry friends. I have a fenced yard for my own pup. I always put my pup on a leash when we go for our walks and make sure I never leave him home alone for more than 8 hours if I am gone for the day / evening.

“I highly recommend Michelle as a pet caregiver. She is responsible, loving, and truly dedicated to the well-being of animals. Michelle goes above and beyond for all animals. Her reliability and warmth make her someone I can trust completely. Any pet would be lucky to have her as their caregiver! She has cared for my cat, Angel, multiple times, and I’ve always been impressed with her dedication and loving approach. Michelle understands Angel's need for attention and ensures she has everything she needs—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship. Michelle is also great about sticking to Angel's routine. It’s clear that Michelle genuinely cares for animals, and I always feel at ease knowing my cat is in such capable, loving hands. I couldn’t ask for a better caregiver!”
