“Catherine did a great job. She took great care of our dog and two cats. She asked a lot of great questions that I wouldn’t have even thought about. Very thoughtful and thorough. We will definitely be asking her to petsit again.”
“It was our second time hiring Elizabeth, another positive experience. My pooch likes his walks and we are grateful she is ok with taking him. She is great with giving updates and sending photos. Upon return the house was just as we left it.”
“Emily did a fantastic job watching Tuukka while we were traveling to India for a wedding. She sent daily updates with lots of photos and we knew our pup was well take care of when we were away!”
“Jessica was great! Super communicative and sent lots of pictures! My boys are a handful and don't like strangers, so if she can handle them she can handle any high maintenance pups!”
“Charley was amazing with our pup Maisy! She was calm and happy when we got home from an 8 day trip. PLUS - our house was spotless! Fantastic job, we will use him again.”
“10 stars needed! ❤️ left Keisha w/ a huge task!! She went above and beyond from every aspect ~ so accommodating… most importantly~ she took great care of the high maintenance rugrats and notably after being gone for 4 days ~ I know the dog didn’t leave the place spotless 😉 I’m a 1st timer on this app so I was anxious prior to our initial meet and great, having a stranger in your house and trusting them with your little loves was new for me.. No worries were needed… it couldn’t have been a more perfect experience!! ❤️”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for many years for family and friends - young dogs, senior dogs, and cats all included! My senior dog recently passed away and I am looking forward to spending time with animals again. I recently graduated college and moved back home so I am currently working part time as a nanny as I figure out what I want to do with my life. I have lots of extra time and love to go on walks! I will care for pets in your home as I am living at home with my parents right now. I want to be respectful of whatever you/your animal needs. Depending on the day I am needed I won’t be able to stay with the animal all day but usually the longest I ever need to step out to nanny is 4-5 hours.
“Carole and Max are amazing. The last time she sat for me, I had two dogs. Sadly, I had to put one of them down and Carole and Max left me a framed photo on my beloved Sequoia. Their thoughtfulness meant the world to me and I know my dog Miley was well cared for.”
“Melissa is, simply put, AMAZING!!!! She took incredible care of our nearly 15 year old dog who is very sweet, but requires quite a bit of assistance. We came home to a clean house and a very happy hound! Best of all, we were able to truly relax on our vacation, knowing that everything was taken care of in our absence. 100/10! 😊”
“This is our first time using Rover and I am so glad that Lily was the one to watch Rosie. She did a great job keeping us updated, sending pictures and it looks like she and Rosie had a blast. She even did a little training for us. I highly recommend Lily and we will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Jackie took such great care of Daisy for me while I was out of town for several days. I didn't worry about a thing while I was gone, she sent texts with photos and updates. Everything was fantastic and I will definitely call her again!”
“Travis was amazing with our dog Lady. Lady doesn't get along with just anybody but Travis and her hit it off right off the bat. He is professional, experienced and respectful. We loved the updates and the photos of Lady while we were away on vacation. We would hire him to watch Lady again in a heartbeat!”
“I loved Alyssa's help taking care of my dog Tango. She did everything I asked her to do. She was very responsible and my dog Tango loved her. During my trip, she sent me photos of Tango's walks with her in the park. 100% recommended.”
“Mikalanne is wonderful with my pets, all senior with lots of needs. Recently had an extended trip and she did a wonderful job. It is rare to find someone to extend themselves as much as she did for caring for their needs.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Stephen and Amilie were very communicative to us about how our animals are doing. We felt very comfortable with them and they took great care of our animals! We would no doubt use their services again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Maiah and would absolutely recommend her. Our beagle can be a bit high-maintenance, but Maiah was so great with her. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in trustworthy, kind, and capable hands. Maiah was also an excellent communicator--we received regular updates, photos, and quick responses, which made it easy to relax while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
About: I currently work at a dog daycare where I care for multiple dogs daily, managing different temperaments and energy levels. I’m experienced in supervising play, maintaining safety, and keeping dogs calm, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ve also owned dogs and cats in my lifetime as well! Genuinely an animal lover. I’m available for morning and evening visits on weekdays, and I have open availability on weekends. I offer flexible scheduling for walks, drop ins, and pet sitting, and I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine. I prioritize a safe, calm, and clean environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, follow routines closely, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for.
Arlington Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Christie took great care of my dogs as well as my home. It is difficult to meet someone once or twice then have them stay in your house but I had no concerns about Christie at all and I was able to leave and enjoy my trip without worry. My dogs loved her from the start and seemed very happy to have her stay. I will be rebooking with her!!!
Cindy took care of our dog Frankie and our house and is hands down the best Rover experience we have ever had!!! After our meet and greet we knew Frankie and our house were being left in good hands. We returned home without having anything to worry about thanks to Cindy! She is booked for our next trip! She is absolutely wonderful!
Using a new pet/house sitter comes with some trepidation. That said, we were so pleased to arrive home to a happy dog and a clean house. Thank you to Carole for connecting with our older, somewhat idiosyncratic pup and for caring for our house as her own. Carole's detailed updates with photos gave us comfort while we traveled.
Marilia was wonderful! Our cat, Zoe, was clearly in highly experienced, responsible, and caring hands. Marilia kept in close touch with any questions that came up and send regular updates. The entire experience gave us great peace of mind and we hope to hire Marilia for future cat-care needs.
Sara and Ethan were excellent dog sitters! They watched three dogs at my house and were great about getting them out on regular walks, giving lots of attention and pets, and sending regular updates and communication. My dogs loved having them and I loved that they had a hybrid/remote work schedule that allowed them to be close to the dogs throughout the day! Ethan and Sara are a great team!
Jessica is an absolute pro when it comes to dogsitting. We recently rescued two dogs, and they can be quite a handful as they're acclimating to their new home. She was unfazed with Rocky's barking, and had Gordo snuggling in no time. Jessica sent regular updates and photos, which made me feel better, since it was our first time away from them overnight. I highly recommend Jessica, and would love to have her back in the future.
Flor was an EXCELLENT sitter to our dog Toast! We left on a trip for 5 days and she took amazing care of not only our dog, but our house as well! She was a great communicator and sent a ton of pictures! She also was great at giving our dog his medicine. We would absolutely book Flor again!
Carrianne is fantastic. She befriended my shy cat on their first meeting. Great and responsive at communicating about everything. Completely understood the medication schedule and carried it out. Really grateful to have found someone so responsible and caring.
Jamila was amazing with my senior dog Vladimir! She’s helped with feedings and overnights at my house. She is kind, thoughtful, and Vlad loved her! She followed all my instructions and handled my old man with care. We will be asking her to watch Vlad again in the near future! I’m grateful to have found her!
Nicole was simply fantastic. Walter is a new rescue, and has only been with me for about two weeks before I had to travel for work. Nicole kept all of my anxiety about leaving him at Bay, she was incredibly communicative, very patient with my anxious, crazy boy, and even left me a full page document of notes about her observations on him as I’m continuing to understand who he is. While I was away, I was telling some of the individuals I was with about everything she was doing for Walter and they all begged me to give them her information. Will absolutely be reaching out to Nicole in the future!
