House Sitting in Wood Dale

“Jacob was wonderful! Our other dog recently passed away and we were worried about leaving him alone. Jacob gave him lots of attention, sent pictures several times a day and let us know how our puppy was doing. I highly recommend him!”

“Meghan did a great job caring for our dog while we were away for the weekend I would definitely recommend her and plan to use her again in the future.”

“We had Kaylee watch our two dogs while we were on vacation for a week. The communication, pictures, and constant updates put our minds at ease. You could tell that our dogs were loved and cared for. Whether you are out for multiple days, or just a drop in visit, Kaylee is your girl!”

“Great pet sitter!! Sent daily updates with pics, awesome communication and my pets were quick to adapt to Gabrielle. We will be sure to keep requesting her services. She even watered our plants while we were away.”

“Isabel is an incredible pet sitter. She is kind, responsible, and trustworthy. She provides professional care, ensuring my pets are always safe, happy, and well-loved. Highly recommended!”

“Ashley house sat for us for 5 days. She's easy to work with, communicates clearly and frequently, and took great care of both the pets and the house. Most importantly, my dog and cat both love her!”

“Sonoma got along great and felt safe and comfortable. Would definitely recommend Rachel.”

“Jesse did a great job taking care of my dog and cat while we were away. He spent a good amount of time with my animals throughout the day and made sure to send timely updates. My cat was experiencing a health issue and required extra care during our time away and Jesse was very attentive and understanding. We felt very safe leaving our animals in his care. My animals all really enjoyed their time with him.”

“Mariana was just what we needed. My puppy was so shy to people and puppies. Mariana let us tour the place and she interacted with my puppy for 30 mins. Then the next day we let the puppy stay 12 hours and she was not ready to leave. She had so much fun playing with the other puppies. Mariana sent me plenty of videos and pictures which calmed my nerves. She knows and loves her pups. Will be bringing my puppy again.”

“Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful with Wrigley! I will definitely use her again! She was extremely reliable and sent lots of happy pictures!”

About: I have had a love for animals since I was a young child. At the age of 8, against my parents wishes I snuck in an abandoned cat and it ended up being where my love for animals began. We have had many types of pets since then. Currently we have a 3 year-old German Shepherd whom we rescued from a shelter at 4 months of age. We also have a 1 year old Australian Cattle dog who is super energetic. I love spending time with animals, dogs in particular, because they are so playful, happy and full of unconditional love. I am responsible, caring and will take great care of you pet because I know that they are not only “pets” but are also members of your family. I will care for your pet like I would care for my own pets. I work full-time as a nurse practitioner but just started working some days from home. I figured, why not do something I love while also getting exercise at the same time. I am able to mainly available for pet care on the weekends. I am able to accomplish most evening/late evening or very early morning walks. Every other Tuesday I work from home so am able to break up my schedule this day. I care for my dogs in my backyard, which is fenced in. She is able to run around freely because we do have a large yard which allows her to burn off her energy. We also play fetch and she is able to spend a lot of her time running around there. We also go for walks around the neighborhood.

“Lauriel is very responsible with Archie. She is communicative, prompt, respectful and always available. She respects my home, and genuinely cares for Archie. She sends me pictures and updates and checks in on him on days she is not with him. She is quick to respond and always willing to help me out!”

“Leah was wonderful! She communicated through out the day and even sent pictures. I have a special needs dog who needed additional care and Leah made sure she was taken care of. I will be hiring Leah again!”

“This was our first experience using Renee for dogsitting. We had an outstanding experience with Renee watching our 2 small poodles. She maintained excellent communication, including updates and photos. The dogs were happy and well taken care of, including multiple walks a day and play times. She left the house in beautiful condition. After a long trip away, almost 3 weeks, it was such a fabulous way to come home to a clean house and happy pups. We will definitely be booking Renee for future trips.”

“Thanks Mari! Our babes and home were well taken care of during our 12 day trip. She was communicative and very caring. Will definitely continue to rely on Mari for our pet and house sitting needs.”

“Zack has dog sat for me 4 times over the last 3 years, and I have nothing but great things to say about him. Our dog Bailey is extremely energetic and excitable, and he has never had any problems with her. Always keeps the house in nice shape too. He also loves if you leave him a 6 pack of beer as a tip. 👍”

“Marnie was so amazing!! She is absolutely a 10/10. This was my first time leaving our fur baby and she made me feel so comfortable and at ease while I was away. She sent pictures and updated me all along the way while I was gone. She gave Kobe all the love and cuddles he needed. I came home to one happy pupp! I will absolutely use her again and again and again! Thank you Marnie for being so awesome! My family appreciates you!!”

“Austin provided great care to our lab!”

About: I care for every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’ve worked mostly with young to adult dogs and understand how to balance play, rest, and routine. My dog Daisy is 7, and she’s taught me so much about patience, consistency, and the value of companionship. I love to a create cozy, and safe environment where your pup can feel right at home—whether they’re playful or prefer a calm cuddle buddy. As a student with a flexible schedule, I’m home most of the day and able to give your pup lots of attention and care. I start my mornings by taking Daisy out for some exercise—she loves running around the nearby baseball field—before I head to the gym and settle into schoolwork. Because I’m home the rest of the day, I can easily incorporate walks, playtime, and cuddles into my daily routine to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and never alone. In my home, pets are treated like family. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable, with plenty of love, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I follow any routines or instructions you provide to keep things consistent for your dog. Whether it’s feeding schedules, crate time, walks, or cuddle breaks—your pup’s needs always come first. Daisy is great at sharing her space and toys, and our home is calm, clean, and full of cozy spots to relax or play.

About: I've had dogs growing up my entire life. I also know that each dog has its own personality and individual needs. I love all animals, and believe they deserve to get the best care. Which is why I decided to join Rover. I know its not always easy for someone to get their animals from place to place especially around the holidays because a lot of places get booked to maximum capacity. I want to be convenient to the owners schedule so they don't have to worry about their animal(s) and they can feel free to contact me anytime in the day. I'm available 24/7 when it comes to dog care, I am also certified as a Veterinary Assistant. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
