“Bridget did a fantastic job taking care of my Rosie. She was diligent with all of Rosie’s needs and kept me updated with pictures and texts throughout her stay. Thanks Bridget!”

“Maria took such excellent care of my dog, she really went above and beyond in making sure he was safe, comfortable, and cared for ! I wasn’t expecting it to be so snowy while I was away, and she provided shoes and a coat for him to borrow: so thoughtful and really providing the best care ! As a highlight she also sent many photos and videos and was very responsive via Rover. I highly recommend Maria !”

“the absolute best! we left our puppy for around two weeks for the first time and they took wonderful care of her! our dog absolutely loved her time there and she looked so happy during boarding! if you’re looking for a pet-sitter book here!! thank u again!!!”

“Julia has been wonderful with our dog Clare. Clare seems to have a great time and we appreciate all the pictures and updates! We’ve worked with Julia twice now and will definitely be sending Clare back. Thank you!”

“Abigail and Chris were wonderful sitters! I was nervous as my dog takes a while to warm up to new people, but I got lots of great photos, and she always looked so comfortable and I knew she was well cared for.”


About: I’m naturally very active, so if your dog loves long walks and plenty of playtime, they’ll have a great workout buddy with me. At the same time, I’m super patient and adaptable to whatever your pet needs. I’ve worked with all kinds of animals with different traits and can definitely meet your needs! Because I work a part-time job with a flexible schedule, pet care easily fits right into my daily routine. I can structure my shifts around your dog's specific needs, I have plenty of open windows to make your pet a top priority throughout the week. Whether I’m hosting your dog or staying at your place, my goal is to keep their routine exactly how they like it. For active pups, that means plenty of long walks and fresh air to burn off energy, while puppies get consistent potty breaks and training support. If you have a senior dog, I focus on a quiet, stress-free environment and precise feeding schedules. I adapt completely to your pet's needs.
“When Noodles is with Doug and Deb, we rest easy on our trips knowing he is well cared for and entertained. We’ve experienced short stays and a longer stay recently for one week. I love to see how responsive he is with them, telling me he enjoys spending time in their home. The pictures we receive from Doug & Deb show Noodles around their home, happy and content. Doug & Deb are truly amazing and a stay with them feels like being at home!”


“Ruth was very attentive to Indy and groomed her while doing the same for another dog. She was responsive when I reached out to see how Indy was doing, and I will bring Indy back for future trips.”

“Brian took great care of my dog and asked thoughtful questions to ensure my dog’s first stay with him would go well. He provided a picture daily and my dog was happy when I picked her up.”

“Adam was fantastic to work with! He was very responsive and timely with his messaging, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I was away for the weekend attending a wedding, and it was such a relief knowing everything was in good hands. I’ll definitely be looking to use his services again in the future!”

“Abigail was awesome. I have an older dog and am always worried about leaving her. Abigail was so kind and sent many photos treating her like her own. Definitely will you her again and recommend to anyone❤️”

“Michelle was a wonderful sitter! It seemed that my doggo had a great time with her and was super happy when he came back home. He had so much fun that he knocked out right away! I also really appreciate that Michelle kept me updated and sent me photos of him throughout the stay. I highly recommend her.”

“Julie was available last minute, and even with the limited time she was swift to respond and easy to communicate with. We dropped Brutus off and met her two dogs and son who would all be hanging out - I could instantly tell this was going to be great for our Maltese. After receiving a few fun photos throughout the stay, Brutus was happy and totally exhausted when we picked him up. Thanks for a great stay and highly recommended!”


“Claire was wonderful with Hazel (older dog) and Sam (older cat). This was the first time we used a pet care service and we were very fortunate to find Claire. She is thoughtful, kind, skilled with dogs and cats, and an excellent communicator. Hazel can be reactive to other dogs on walks; Claire was familiar with the ractive dogs and managed it with well. She also messaged us once a day while we were away with details and pictures. We have already booked with Claire again.”


“She was wonderful with Hoover. Very gentle as Hoover is an older dog. She would carry her outside and dry her off and make sure she was warm during the unseasonably cold snap. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Lauren and her family took such good care of our dog Sawyer! This was our first time being away from our puppy so we were worried she was going to be scared, but she had so much fun playing with their dog Zoe while we were away. Lauren sent us pictures everyday to let us know how she was doing. By the time we got back, Sawyer was already attached to Lauren, Zoe, and the rest of the family.”

Winnetka pet parents share their Rover experiences
I always worry when leaving my fur baby due to some bad prior experiences. Ella and Sydney were very kind, knowledgeable, accommodating, responsible, and caring. They communicated with me throughout the visit. Athena had such a great time that she didn’t want to leave. If you are on the fence on whether to book with Ella or not do not hesitate before some other lucky family reserves them. Thank you again!!!

We had the absolute best experience with Mia’s sitter. She was simply amazing, sending us regular pictures and updates, giving Mia a bath, making sure she was well fed, and treating her with so much care and attention. Mia clearly loved her home and her four-day mommy, and we felt completely at ease the entire time.
Katelyn was so warm and responsive throughout the entire boarding process. She has a clear affinity and appreciation for cats, which is so important to us in a sitter. We felt completely confident that our cats were in good, loving hands, and were thrilled to see the daily updates and photos she shared from their stay. 100% would recommend.
We used to leave our dog at a large dog boarding place when traveling, and she would be grouped with so many different dogs that I can tell she was traumatized and often took days to be back to her normal carefree self (and she would have dog drooling all over her). This time under Nancyanne’s care our dog was able to stick to a routine similar to at home, and I can tell she was quite comfortable and after 9 days it was seamless that her demeanor was like she never left home. We would happily recommend Nancyanne to anyone who needs help.
