She went above and beyond to make sure our pets were happy and comfortable while we were on vacation. She is the perfect sitter and I would give her more than 5 stars if I could. I highly recommend her services.”

“Stephanie did an incredible job with our two golden retrievers. She sent me lots of pictures while we were gone and i could tell the dogs were having a great time. She left our house immaculate - it looked better than before we left! She was a pleasure to work with and we will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Amazing experience! We highly recommend. Daily updates… and for the first time, our dog actually gained a few instead of being so stressed that he wasn’t eating!”

“Taylor was very good with Hunter. He had a couple of skin infections and she was on top of it! He had a trip to the vet and a trip to the ER. She made sure he had his medicine, daily exercise, food and water, and made sure he wore the dreaded cone. Taylor took very good care of him. Taylor gave us daily updates and pictures of Hunter. If she had a question, she asked. Taylor also stayed at our house. She treated it as her own. Everything was in order when we came home. Bedding (ours and Hunters) was washed. We were very pleased with the care Taylor gave Hunter and our home.”

About: Hi! I’m Rachel, and I’m an animal lover who genuinely believes pets are family. 🐾❤️ I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry babies with someone else, so my goal is to make the experience as comfortable and worry-free as possible for both you and your pets. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet wants lots of cuddles and attention or prefers a little space, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m especially comfortable caring for cats and love getting to know each one’s unique personality — including the shy, sassy, and slightly spoiled ones! 🐈‍⬛💕 I’m also very responsible when it comes to feeding schedules, medications or special instructions, litter box care, playtime, and keeping you updated while you’re away. Your home and your pet will always be treated with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pets and help give them a happy, comfortable experience while you’re away! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to build visits and pet care into my daily schedule and make sure each pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need. I’m very comfortable following established routines, including feeding schedules, medications, litter box care, playtime, and other special instructions. I also understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I make it a priority to be dependable and keep their routine as close to normal as possible while their owners are away. 🐾💕 I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, cuddles, medications, and any special treatments they may need. 🐾 I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and treat them with the same care I would want someone to show my own home. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention and companionship while their owners are away, while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and being well cared for. 💕

“I immediately felt at ease when I met Samouila. It’s difficult to find someone you’re comfortable taking care of your dogs, nevermind staying in your home! But I left feeling completely confident that my dogs and my home was safe. Highly recommended!!”

“We've used Barbara for drop in visits for over a year now and adore her but this past week we had her housesit for the first time. We came back after 10 days to a clean home and happy (fat!) cats! She provided us with photos every day and stories about what was going on back home. What a relief to just be able to enjoy our vacation, knowing our furkids were safe and loved.”

Nanci I.

“Did a fantastic job. Stayed all week including nights and gave fur pups lots of attention. Will use her all the time. Sent pictures and gave updates many times.”

About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner for 10 years, I’m now embarking on a new chapter after 24 wonderful years in Chicago. Following a long career in advertising sales, I’m seeking a slower-paced, more fulfilling path — one that lets me combine my reliability with my love for animals. At 49, I bring maturity, responsibility, and genuine care to every pup I watch, ensuring your they are looked after as if they were my own. Also, the doodle you see in some pics is my amazingly chill, gets along with every living thing, sidekick Lambeau. So please note your dog(s) must be okay with other dogs. I'm currently taking some time off and won't be going back to remote work until the fall '26, at the earliest. So I'm very flexible with my time at the moment. I live in an apartment complex (2 bed / 2 bath) with a huge unfenced grassy area off my lanai, that Lambeau and I call our own backyard. I also live across the street from John Chesnut park, in the Tarpon Woods area so Lambeau and I spend lots of time at that huge dog park and/or exploring the various trails. So if you're open to that as well, I'll gladly take your pup(s) over there for some adventures.

“You couldn't ask for a better sitter. This was the 1st time we used rover and our dog had never had a sitter. Shawn used his charm and probably patience to win Bernadette over. He also left our house spotless. An all round gentleman. Would hire him again in a nanotechnology second”

Barbara W.

“Alexandra was a good communicator, punctual and above all kind and loving with my dogs. She sent lots of updates with photos and left the house clean. I will definitely hope to use her services again.”

Rebecca C.

“Cora was great. My two dogs took to her immediately.”

About: I’ve had a variety of dog care and sit experience throughout the years. I’ve taken care of puppies, and I have taken care of older dogs that require medication and extra attention. I currently work remotely, so I am flexible with pet care needs. There will be situations where I need to run errands or take care of things outside of the home but as of right now I am flexible and able to meet the pet and parents needs. I will be providing care in the clients home. I only offer home sits at this time. I am happy to meet with the pet parent prior to the sit, pending availability in person versus FaceTime, to go over needs specifications of routine and review care needs prior to the sit.
