Pet Sitting in Chicago

“Thank you so much for all the photos and updates! Baker was happy to have us home but with your care he was well looked after. If anyone is looking for a cat sitter I can highly recommend you as the affection and play time you give was well worth every penny. Thank you for taking care of our boy.”

“Crystal was timely and very communicative while watching my cats. I’m so glad to have found her and look forward to scheduling with her in the future.”

“Shimmy is wonderful with my pup! She gives him lots of great play time and takes great photos. I trust that he is in good hands when Shimmy comes over!”

“Emily was fantastic! She took lots of time to play with my two cats and provided me with thorough updates on how they were doing each day. She was also very responsive and communicative. I would definitely book her again!”

“Samantha is one of the most compassionate and nurturing people I know! Her connection and relationship with animals is admirable. From caring for her own five dogs with the utmost passion and dedication, she’s been a loyal choice for me whenever I have dog sitting needs. Amongst our friends, she’s reliable and trustworthy whenever we have a pet sitting task since she’s able to adapt and problem-solve when a situation gets out of hand. I highly recommend her for any and all of your pet needs! She excels at communication and empathizes with all of your worries which she quickly puts to rest.”

“Yaneris is a very caring and attentive dog owner and dog sitter. With her dog Arya, Yaneris has organized a routine for Arya in terms of the meals and walks. Yaneris has also taken the initiative to attend dog training programs with Arya, where her dog has learned how to behave well. Arya is a very sweet dog that gets along with other dogs and I believe this is due to Yaneris’ loving care towards Arya. More importantly, Yaneris tenderly reminds Arya that she must play nice with other dogs and Arya always listens to her. Yaneris ensures that Arya goes to the vet very frequently to stay up to date with her vaccines. When Arya is not feeling well, Yaneris either calls the emergency dog care number or makes an appointment with the vet. If Arya needs to take medication prescribed by the vet, Yaneris sets reminders on her phone to let her know when it is time for Arya to take the medicine. Even though Yaneris is currently in school, she makes time to play with Arya, especially on the weekends. Yaneris is always looking for dog events in Chicago, where Arya can meet other dogs or simply just have fun outdoors. Aside from taking care of Arya, I have seen Yaneris dog sit for her friend’s two dogs. Before taking care of the dogs, she asks the dog owner for the dog care plan - the meals, their walk routine, any reminders she must be aware of, etc. Yaneris has a great balance when going on walks with 3 dogs. Before going on walks with the dogs, Yaneris reminds them that they must listen to her. At the park, Yaneris does a great job in getting the dogs to come back to her in order to put on their leashes and return home. She also checks in regularly with the dog owner to let them know how their dogs are doing. During the time the dogs are at Yaneris’ home, she makes her space cozy for them, so they also feel the same loving care that Arya receives. I believe Yaneris will take very good care of any dog that is placed with her. The dogs will definitely feel at home with her.”

“David was absolutely wonderful. Went above and beyond any rover sitter we have worked with, who were also great! He was incredibly kind and considerate with our pet and with our home. We highly highly recommend David for any of your pet’s needs!”

“1st time away from my kids for more than two nights & also this was my 1st time using Rover. Anxiety is running super high but everything went off without a hitch. Nicole was extremely professional an took great care of my kids! I will be using Rover & hoping that I can book Nicole again.”

“When I needed someone to watch over my cat, I found Jessica, and I couldn't have been happier with her care, she was amazing. She followed all instructions to kept my cat entertained, and even sent me regular updates and cute photos. When I got back, my cat was relaxed and happy, clearly enjoying her time with Jessica.”

“Erik was great! He took care of Ghost like she was one of his own. Tons of photos and updates which is great. Ghost doesn’t like being alone for too long so it was perfect having Erik to check in on her and make sure she gets some love each day.”

“Erin did a great job with our cats. She hit all of the scheduled visits and sent pictures each time. The boys filed no complaints upon our return. I would rebook in the future.”

“Kathryn is a responsible pet caregiver and will ask questions of how we would like her to address our puppy as far as training commands so that she can follow through with them. Kathryn is reliable and compassionate. Our dog, Bango gets so excited when Kathryn comes and is definitely tired out after their walks. I highly recommend Kathryn!”

“Ericka helped us while we were on vacation by checking on our cat, making sure she had fresh food/water and a clean litter box. She sent us pictures of our kitty and gave us updates at every check-in. Would definitely recommend her!”

“I made a last minute booking with Tracie and it was so easy to communicate and coordinate meeting up before hand to meet the cats and share keys. One of my cats is quite skittish and it was great to see in pics and a video how she warmed up to Tracie. Great pet care, highly recommend!”

“Kelsey is an excellent pet sitter. My cat is very shy but seemed to take a liking to her immediately. She is a great communicator, very punctual, and thoughtful.”

“Jason is such a great dog walker! He's been walking my dog, Louie, for two years. Louie gets so excited anytime my phone rings because he thinks it's Jason! He takes him for long walks with a group of other dogs, and they often go to play in the dog park. I can tell that Jason loves Louie (and all dogs!) and always trust that Louie will be well cared for with him.”

“Julianne took good care of our cats! We have two scaredy cats and she took the time to find them in their hiding places to make sure they were ok. Her detailed notes and photos gave us peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend Julianne!”

“Aela has always been passionate and shown endless love towards dogs and cats. She constantly asks to take pictures of dogs whenever we pass by an adorable dog. Aela has volunteered at PAWS Chicago and handled many dogs and cats. She also shows much love to her two dogs. She is responsible and caring whenever she is with her dogs or sits any of her friends pets. She is a good candid to be a pet caregiver”

“Kristi did a fantastic job with my cat, Aria. She doesn’t usually like strangers, but she seemed to like Kristi immediately. Aria seemed well taken care of while I was away and I recommend Kristi for anyone needing a cat sitter.”

“Jeff is a great sitter with a genuine love of cats. He spent lots of time with my kitties and gave them great care and attention. Highly recommend!”
