“Kimberly took amazing care of our 2 dogs while we were away for 3 days. She sent pictures and updates daily. The dogs loved being with her and our house was very clean when we got home. I would highly recommend her.”

“Kimberley was fantastic and we highly recommend her. Our dogs clearly love her, and we had total peace of mind while we were away. Her experience caring for diabetic dogs was especially invaluable and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. We came home to happy pets and a well-kept house — we will continue booking with her!”

“Our dog Coco loved Sarah’s company when we went on vacation for a week! Sarah shared daily updates and pictures. She also left our home as clean as we left it. I would highly recommend Sarah for your dog walking/sitting needs!”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and truly believe that pets are family. In my professional life, I am a social worker, and caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am. That same compassion extends to animals, and I recognize the important role they play in our lives as companions, sources of comfort, and beloved members of the family. As a dedicated and dependable house sitter, I provide loving, attentive care while ensuring your home is safe, secure, and well-maintained during your absence. My experience includes caring for dogs, cats, birds, and small animals, each with their own unique personalities and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply maintaining their regular routine, I take the time to make them feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you're away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home, and I pride myself on being responsible, communicative, and detail-oriented. I'll care for your pets as if they were my own and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they are receiving exceptional care and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a social worker, I have built my career around caring for others, and I enjoy providing the same level of attention and compassion to animals. I am organized, dependable, and able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I make sure each pet receives consistent attention and care. I also work well with established routines and will do my best to maintain your pet's normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and secure while you're away. My goal is always to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for the pets in my care. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I follow their established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and rest. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I take the time to learn their preferences, habits, and unique personalities. I provide plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also maintain open communication with pet owners and provide regular updates so they can have peace of mind while they are away.

About: I enjoy meeting new clients and dogs everyday! Training puppies/ dogs who need help with training/dog language. I like to make sure the clients dog is happy, and enjoying my company. Making sure dogs sit for a treat, is a great way to make sure they know how to sit for a treat! It’s always good practice! It also is good with their food too! I work part time at a doggy daycare in carol stream. I enjoy meeting new clients/ dogs when they are brought into my work! I love to train newer puppies how to play, sit and stay! I have a fenced in yard and I enjoying spending some relaxing time with my pup! I get to play with him outside a lot. Sometimes i like take them on walks together or separately.

“Aaliyah was amazing! She took great care of our house and our dog. We have a nervous guy that got freaked out by the thunderstorms but Aaliyah knew just how to make him feel safe and secure. So glad we booked her and would definitely book her again!”

“Sam did a great job with our dogs! Sent photos and kept me up to date on everything. She was very responsible. I appreciate having her be with my dogs overnight.”

John G.

“This was our first time using Rover. We had been nervous about leaving our dog for a vacation since we got her because of her many quirks and eccentricities. Erika was the absolute best sitter we could have asked for. She was so understanding and worked with our dog everyday to make sure her needs were met while making her as comfortable and at-ease as possible. She sent us constant updates and pictures which made us know she was in the best care possible. I wish we had found her sooner!”

Rosalyn A.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Julie took such wonderful care of our puppy, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was obvious he was getting plenty of love, attention, and care.”

Tessa C.

“As a first time user with Rover, we were unsure what to expect. I saw that Haley and Tyler came with very positive reviews and had experience with Northern breeds, so my expectations were quite hopeful. We set up house sitting for our Everest as he’s getting older and had health problems during our last kennel experience. I wanted to provide him with a stress free time at home while we’re were out of town for 10 days. Haley was just phenomenal in all ways possible; from communicating, photos and videos sent, and overall care for our big guy. She ensured that he was happy and cared for, and put our minds at ease while we were far away from home. I will definitely use Haley and Tyler’s services again, and would recommend them to anyone needing personalized care for their fur babies.”

“Anthony was GREAT! Max loved him and immediately loved being with him. He took great care of him, sent photos and treated Max like his own. Would use him any time!”

David K.

“She was so great with my 2 dogs!! My dogs can be a lot, she took such great care of them. She kept me in the loop on their day and plans. I feel like she cared for my doggos as she would have hers! ♥️”

About: Animals have always been at the center of my life. I grew up on a farm, caring for dogs, cats, goats, sheep, and chickens, so reading animal behavior, staying calm under pressure and knowing when somethings off comes naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve trained my own dogs, worked with rescue animals, and volunteered with KARE, where I help rehabilitate, both wild and domestic animals. That experience has taught me how to handle pets of all temperament and backgrounds, including those who were shy, anxious, or still learning the ropes. I personally cared for dogs, cats, ferrets, chinchillas, sugar, gliders, hedgehogs, snakes, fish, turtles, parrots, and a wide variety of reptiles, so chances are, I’ve worked with a pet like yours before! I bring patience and consistency to every interaction, whether it’s a quick drop in or a longer house sit. What sets me apart is that I don’t just love animals, I understand them. Your pet isn’t just a booking to me, they’re a living creature who deserves calm, attentive care from someone who genuinely knows what they’re doing. i’m generally available weekday mornings, weekday evenings, and weekends. My schedule varies week to week, so I keep my calendar updated in real time. If you don’t see any availability that works, feel free to reach out as my schedule sometimes opens up with short notice! when I’m in your home, my priority is keeping your pet safe and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow your KARE instructions closely, do a quick safety check on arrival, and reach out immediately if anything seems off. You’ll get photo updates every visit so you can see your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve handled pets of my own and have provided at home care for friends or family members my whole life. When needed I’ve boarded animals at my own home for friends or family. There’s nothing like a good break with furry friends that helps the day go by. Currently I have a flexible scheduled and enjoy the opportunity. I always make sure that animals are given loving attention. It’s important that they are provided with the bathroom, sleeping and toy accommodations they deserve and the exercise they need. I understand the need for routine.

About: I have deep love, admiration, and understanding for animals and am innately empathetic and intuitive. I have extensive experience caring for all kinds of pets including small to large dogs, cats, small animals like rabbits, fish, and reptiles. I have experience training as well as assisting others dogs with some behavioral and basic training. I am not easily intimidated and can hold my own with bigger dogs or animals with behavioral problems. My schedule is flexible! I work part time helping my mom with my disabled dad, so I have plenty of availability during weekdays, overnight, and weekends to give your furry family members all the attention they need! I truly enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know them! I have training as a first responder & lifeguard and know animal CPR & first aid. I have a flexible schedule, so I easily adjust to my clients needs. Understanding animal behavior is a major interest of mine and I very easily adjust to animals temperaments and energy levels!
