“Shakira was absolutely amazing, not only did she take great care of my lil fur baby but she sent plenty of photos and her communication was great. I will hopefully use Shakira anytime I need a sitter. If your thinking about booking Shakira as a sitter DO IT !!!!!”

About: I’ve always been the one my family goes to train our pets ever since we got our first dog; and it’s been my favorite job ever since! I love learning about different breeds but most importantly how to speak their language. From puppies to elderly cats, I’m happy to care for your fur babies. I’m a recent Masters student at UChicago and have full availability! From mornings to overnight stays, I’m happy to be there for a walk or drop in. My own pups thrive on routine but it’s understandable if yours enjoy that nonchalant schedule. I do think play time, mental stimulation, and a local sniffari is the best way for a good nights sleep. On our walks, I’ll try to make the most of our time together by seeing what environments they feel most safe in.

“Alexis took wonderful care of Cooper while I was away! She kept me updated with photos and videos throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Cooper was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When I returned, my apartment was just as neat and clean as I had left it, which I really appreciated. Alexis was reliable, communicative, and treated both Cooper and my home with great care. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and I would gladly book with her again!”

“This was our third booking with Jayden, and they took phenomenal care of our dog for the long weekend. They’re communicative and always send updates with pictures. I would highly recommend them to anyone!”

“Sarah helped us with our dog when we were out for a few days. She confirmed the booking at short notice, came for a meet-and-greet, and was super flexible with timings and booking modifications. I am very likely to ask Sarah to house sit and walk our dog again!”

About: Hi, I'm Danny! I work part-time as a dog handler at a local daycare and have 10 years of experience caring for animals professionally through dog walking and pet sitting services. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand that pets are our family and I'm intentional about providing them with the genuine love and care they deserve. I provide reliable daily walks, drop-in visits, in-home pet sitting, and boarding tailored to your pet's unique personality and routine. Managing dogs and cats of all temperaments daily has taught me exactly how to keep your pet safe, happy, and well cared for. I am fully insured and First Aid/CPR certified, and I promise to treat your pet like one of my own! I'm currently working part-time while studying on my own schedule. I'm very flexible for dog walks, pet sitting, and drop-in visits most days of the week. I care for every pet based on their individual needs, personality, and routine. On walks, I focus on enjoying safe, fun exercise and giving them plenty of time to sniff and explore. For drop-ins and in-home sitting, I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet has fresh food and water, exercise, playtime, cuddles (if they want them), and a clean, comfortable space. I’ll also send daily photos and report cards so that you have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Evan was terrific - great with the dogs, good communicator, and he left the house in wonderful condition. We booked him at the last minute and would definitely book him again. Highly recommended.”

“Dominique is easy to work with, communicative, and responsive! She stayed with our dog for a few days and took great care of her and our apartment. We will definitely work with Dominique again.”

Katie & David W.

“Manuela and Tomás are very friendly and warm people. They both are experienced dogsitters and ask the right questions, so you can leave your pup with them with peace of mind. They are respectful with your home. Can only highly recommend.”

Jaap S.

“Karen is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! She took care of our cats while we were away for about 2 weeks. Our cats are elderly and are not the easiest to deal with, Karen was attentive to their special needs and just went out of her way to ensure they were comfortable and well taken care of. I would highly recommend her for your pet care needs. We travel often and will use her again and again”

About: I have been around and cared for dogs for years through family, friends, and everyday life. I’ve been trusted to feed them, take them outside, go on walks, play with them, check in throughout the day, and give them plenty of attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I enjoy taking the time to make them feel safe and comfortable. My schedule is flexible, which gives me availability in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day and what you need. I’m available throughout the week and on select weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. I know how important it is to trust someone coming into your home and caring for your pet. I always respect your space, follow the routine and instructions you provide, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, or simply keeping them company, I want them to feel cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures 🤗so you can stay up-to-date with your pet.

“Put simply: Kate is Great! Kate recently cared for our somewhat nervous (and quite energetic) rescue dog, our bearded dragon, and two parakeets for 10 days while we were visiting family out of state. She did a fantastic job and was incredible to work with on all fronts. She sent us regular pictures (and even a video) of our pets doing wonderfully and somehow managed to leave our house cleaner then when she arrived. She also deftly navigated a tricky situation in which our bearded dragon's basking light burnt out. We had some extra bulbs but they were buried in our basement. Through text Kate was able to find the replacement bulbs and save the day. This was our first experience with Rover, and Kate set the bar extraordinarily high. She is a genuine and kind person, and our dog, who typically takes some time to warm to new people, liked her immediately. Thanks for all your hard work caring for our furry, scaly, and feathered family members Kate! We're grateful to have found you on Rover.”

“Christina took excellent care of our apartment, Casey cat, and Rowdy (a recently adopted 5-month old kitten we were nervous about leaving.) We got plenty of reports and pictures, and the cats were very mellow when we got home.”

Kathleen T.

“Claire was fantastic. From the moment we met her, she was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took exceptional care of my anxious dog, Balu, and we were so relieved to come home to a relaxed, happy dog. Claire kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She stayed in our home and left everything spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if she’s available.”

Jay N.

“Emily was amazing! It was my first time leaving my puppy with anyone and I couldn’t have asked for someone better. She came on time and my pup loved her, I’m pretty sure when I got back my puppy was more bummed she was leaving than she was happy that I came home ? I highly suggest using emily I most certainly will again”

“Tred took excellent care of our high-energy husky mutt for the weekend. He communicated well and put in the time to really exercise and soothe our dog. He also kept our home clean and tidy during his stay. We'll definitely use him again and can't recommend him enough.”

David S.

“Kiera is amazing , my little Yorkie doesn’t really like anybody outside of our immediate family and friends and he took to her immediately ! It was wonderful having someone care for our little fur baby knowing that he was happy with her . We can’t say enough good things about her . Will definitely will be calling for her again when the need arises.”
