“Maureen does such a great job with my Ellie every time! I’m always so thankful to have her check on her when I go out of town. I always know Ellie is being well-taken care of! ❤️”
“Jessica is extremely kind and patient with my girls. We had a hiccup with the instructions that were left BUT she was very apologetic, it was a harmless mistake and no issues since. I trust that her attention to detail has been heightened and I truly believe that she just wants to take the best care of my girls while I’m away. I will continue to book with Jessica as my first option, my work schedule requires getting outside help to care for my girls so I’m looking forward to having Jessica drop in on my girls for as long as she’s able and willing.”
“Laura did a great job with our kitties! She even took the time to bring in boxes from our porch. We have an older cat with an unusual no-litter situation which she was very willing to work with. It helped make our vacation less stressful knowing our boys were in good hands!”
“So appreciate Olivia stepping in to care for my kitty with a recent cancer diagnosis and the rest of the four-kitty crew. Very communicative and working with me during her visits to adjust food type and portions for my kitty based on what he is currently eating. Great w meds as well.”

“Kelly was once again phenomenal! She took care of Willow, ensured that she visited twice a day even if the times were a little off schedule due to prior engagements, and updated me every visit! I’ll definitely be reaching out the next time I need a sitter for my baby!”
“Alexandria took amazing care of our two cats who have a detailed routine. One is very particular and she took to Alexandria which is no small feat! The pictures and updates she sent were detailed and I looked forward to getting them after each visit!”

About: I used to be a pet sitter for a vet who had all kinds of animals! Cats, dogs, fish, birds, you name it! I can administer medications, clean litter boxes, play time, long walks, and anything else your pet may require. I work full time close to the University of Cincinnati from 8-4 Monday-Friday. I can stop by right after work or later. Your pets safety and happiness is my priority. I currently work a full time job from 8-4. I would love to take care of your pup when I get off work or drop by later if need be! Durning drop-in visits and walks, I focus on following all instructions provided by the owner and ensuring the pet is happy and comfortable. I will provide fresh water, play time, brushing, cleaning the yard or scooping the litter box, whatever the animal needs I will provide. My goal is to ensure your pet is happy and healthy and keep to their normal routine as close as possible.
“Liz was easy to book with and a great commutator. We enjoyed the silly update photos and all seemed well when we returned. We will definitely book with Liz again!”
“Paige was amazing with our pups! Loved the pictures and the updates. Our dogs can be a handful, very loving and playful but a handful, haha. Paige took great care of them, was on time, and did a great job. Definitely book her!”

Arlington Heights cat parents share their Rover experiences
Konane did a fantastic job taking care of Bowie. From the start, communication was clear, timely, and thoughtful. She paid great attention to detail, making sure all of Bowie’s needs were met and going above and beyond to keep us updated. Any concerns or issues were addressed quickly and thoroughly, and she provided helpful feedback throughout. We felt totally at ease knowing Bowie was in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommend!
Siri was absolutely amazing. She let us know everything about how our cats are doing and treated ours like they were her own. She went above and beyond in every facet including cleaning the water dishes out daily. If you are looking for someone to care for your cats, I would put Siri at the very top of the list. We are extremely grateful for choosing such a great person to care for our little babies!
