“Alexander was absolutely wonderful. This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous at first. I have a Great Dane and she is my animal child so, like any pet parent, you want the best for them. My dog was very hesitant at first because she was on guard and protecting her home. I left treats at the door just in case. Alexander was so patient with her and feed her treats to gain her trust. As the days went on, the "check-in" photos made my heart smile. I could see London letting her guard down her guard and that was all because of how sweet he was. I will certaintly use him again!”


“Regan was absolutely wonderful and put my mind at ease while I traveled for a conference. I have a sick cat, and she was not only understanding, but also communicative and flexible in taking care of him. She also sent tons of photos. I would have her help again in a heartbeat!”


“I can’t recommend Jordan enough! She took absolutely amazing care of my cats while I was away and made me feel completely at ease the entire time. She sent frequent updates and the cutest photos, which really helped me feel connected even from afar. It was clear my cats were happy, comfortable, and in great hands. Jordan went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful for her care and attention to detail. Will definitely be booking her again!”


“Kaysie was amazing. Right from the meet and greets to the regular updates while we were away. Thank you for taking care of Pepper and the cute pictures, helped with easing our anxiety. Pepper is happy, cuddly and well taken care of. Would highly recommend Kaysie!”


“Cori is an absolute sweetheart and it meant so much to our family to know our furry family members were well loved and taken care of so we could enjoy our vacation. She sent us pics and updates and we really appreciated that. Thank you Cori !”


“Kristen was great with Murphy and helped out picking up a few additional visits when I was in a jam. I would highly recommend her and book her again in the future.”



“When we moved into a new house a little further from work we weren't able to get home during the day to give the dogs a break. Finding Dmitra was the best thing that could have happened! She comes every day to let the dogs out and/or take them for a walk. It gives us peace of mind knowing that they are being checked in on and it gives our dogs the opportunity to get some energy out. Dmitra is reliable, friendly and she takes great care of our dogs. Highly recommend.”


“Ashley & Nick did just a wonderful job caring for my dog and cat while I was out of town! From the outset, I was impressed by their professional approach and attention to detail. I received regular updates and lots of pics, so I knew the pets were getting plenty of love, outdoor time, and enrichment. I would recommend without hesitation!”



“Natalie took excellent care of our cat Milo while we were away. She was very detailed in her updates and even brought in a package that was delivered in our absence. I will definitely use Natalie again!”


“Linnea was very responsive and helpful when things did not go exactly to plan. One of my dogs is prone to accidents and she did a good job cleaning those up as they occurred. She also helped when one of my dogs was digging a hole under the fence. She was kind, responsive, and clearly enjoyed spending time with our dogs. She followed instructions well for their care and I can wholeheartedly recommend her for drop in appointments!”


About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for dogs comes naturally to me. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it’s going for walks, sticking to a routine, or just keeping your dog company while you're away, I offer dependable, attentive care with plenty of affection. I treat every dog like my own and aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're gone. I just graduated from Auburn University, and have just moved to Pittsburgh from Memphis! My availability is extremely open and I am willing to work days, nights, weekends, or whatever is needed. At the moment, the fence in my backyard is undergoing repairs, so I’m not offering pet care in my home right now. However, I’m more than happy to care for your pets in their own environment, where they feel most at ease. Working in your home allows me to stick closely to your pet’s routine and provide one-on-one attention in a space that’s familiar and comfortable for them. I’m reliable, respectful of your space, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.

“What can I say about Jennifer? She’s literally an angel and my fur baby, my cat, Helen, ADORES her. Jennifer helps me out constantly and she is so good with Helen, so flexible, so sweet, and so caring. She leaves THE BEST descriptions of her visits to our house that I just so look forward to reading. They are so cute and funny and capture our Helen Rose’s personality perfectly. Jennifer is amazing and we could not possibly recommend her any more highly!!”


“Lara went above and beyond caring for my sweet boys. With an unexpected family emergency and having to leave town abruptly, she was so willing last minute to care for my boys. She was thorough and very informative of how the boys were doing.”


About: Growing up, my household always had at least two dogs and a cat. Very early on, I took in the majority of their day to day care, and I’ve since tended to the pets of friends, family, and neighbors. I’m currently on the job hunt, so I have ample time to shower your fur baby with love! I’m available every weekday beginning in the late morning, and I have a lot of flexibility if your pet needs some extra time. I pay close attention to your pet’s body language so I can respect their boundaries and gain their trust. I am always gentle and patient.

About: I adore all types of dogs, big or small. Years of experience have taught me that the most important thing is respecting their space and boundaries while making sure they have everything they need. I also believe that it is incredibly important they have an outlet for their energy, so I am willing to play with them for as long as it takes - sometimes fetch has gone on for over an hour. Again, safety is of the utmost importance and I have experience taking care of all sorts of dogs with different temperaments, including some escape artists, who were all safe and sound when their families returned. I'm currently working part-time so I have some incredible flexibility when it comes to taking care of your pups! I'm willing and able to wake up early or stay up late as needed and I can spend plenty of time making sure your pets get all the love and affection they deserve. Your pet's safety is my top priority and while I have experience caring for a variety of animals, including some with serious medical conditions, I believe that their families have the best understanding of what they need. As such, I am happy to work with you to determine the best means of caring for your pet, whether that includes particular leash attachments, the use of indoor gates, external gates. I also have a fenced in backyard for any pets that might end up staying the night.

“We were very pleased with Tiffany once again during the 5 days that she cared for our orange cat Nuggy! She was punctual on her daily drop-ins, provided quality playtime and cared for all the necessities. We highly recommend her.”


About: Compassionate and responsible, I work part time as a pediatric nurse practitioner. I am experienced in caring for humans babies, so I will give great care for your fur babies. I’m currently working part time during the evenings, so I am free during the day to care for your pets while you are at work! When caring for your pets, there is no need to worry about your space. I I will be respectful to you and your pet's space!

Nelida D.
“I want to endorse Nellie Downie‘s application with you. I found Nellie to be a kind caring pet owner. She’s very responsible. She has over 15 years of pet care under her belt and will be an asset to your organization. She’s reliable, has her own transportation, and is ready and willing to help anyway she can. She has experience with both cats and dogs of all sizes, her largest dogs were a black mouth cur / coon hound and a black lab and smallest dogs in the corgi family.I highly recommend her.”


Collin P.
“Collin is the most responsible, independent, timely, and hard working person I have ever worked with. He is quick thinking and quick acting when an problem occurs. He always goes above and beyond for his jobs. I could not recommend someone enough to look after your furbabies. His calm and respectful nature seems to appeal to every animal we have ever come across. He handles the cats he has cat sit for as well as our friends' reactive dog exceptionally well. I am always impressed by his professionality and his ability to connect with the animals he is paid to sit for as well as the ones he randomly meets in public.”

Diana Z.
“Diana is one of my sweetest friends. She is responsible, hardworking and loves pets! She has foster failed her own dog, Neko, a beautiful husky and I have no doubt she will do well in taking care of other dogs as well. Frequently, when my family and I go on a trip and we are unable to bring our dog, she takes care of our dog, Ellie. She gives me updates and I think that Ellie goes on more walks with Diana than with us. She is so happy and healthy when she returns to us. I highly recommend Diana!”
Arlington Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Rebecca was wonderful. She is very communicative and sent updates and photos with all her visits. She was thoughtful as well, remembering to address the cat litter (even when it totally slipped my mind to ask). I will definitely be asking her to watch my cats again in the future!
