“Madeline has always been great checking in our cats. She very reliable and always responds quickly. The visit summaries were thorough and she would try to get pictures even when they were hiding. We're going to miss having her around when we move out of the area!”
“As always, Amanda was great! She takes the best pictures of our babies and writes the sweetest, most playful notes. Even though it’s always heart wrenching to leave them, I know they’re taken care of with Amanda ❤️”
“Jaime is wonderful! She took excellent care of our cats, fish and turtles. She also sent photos several times and kept me updated that everything was fine. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“Giada was truly amazing! She was our first Rover experience and it couldn’t have gone more smoothly! She was not only very kind and friendly, but she also kept us up-to-date with daily check-in updates and photos. We were able to enjoy our vacation fully knowing our cat was in good hands!”
“We’ve been using Doug as a pet sitter for a while now, and we highly recommend him. Doug is not only reliable but also genuinely enthusiastic about caring for our cats. We never have to worry about anything when they’re in his care. He ensures they get plenty of attention, including playtime and cuddles, which helps keep them happy while we’re away. Our cats require daily medication, and Doug handles this with ease, showing he’s comfortable with more complex care needs. I highly recommend his services to anyone—your pets will be in excellent hands, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing they’re well cared for.”
About: Growing up we always had dogs. When I got older I've owned dogs, cats, and fish. I've fostered dogs and cats for about 12 years until I become a foster failure to my Maryanne. She is a hound mix. In my fostering I have taken care of puppies, senior dogs and dogs with special needs. I will work with your dog and use the commands/ techniques that you use to instill consistency. I currently have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I have a dog as well so I would be in and out during the day. So I can take care of my Maryanne. I am able to stay at your house from evening to morning to care for your babies. I will treat your home and four legged members of your family with respect! Shower then with lots of play and cuddles. Also plenty of walks!
“Sara treated my sweet 8 yo cat with love and affection! She sent great updates, pics, and responded quickly. It’s clear how much she loves taking care of animals. Will definitely book again! 😊”
“Jessica always does a great job taking care of our cat. Feeding, water, litter and medicine are done and the house is locked up when she leaves. Raisin is in good hands. I highly recommend her for pet sitting.”
About: I'm a dog lover dedicated to providing top-notch care and fun-filled adventures for furry friends. I'm experienced with all kinds of dogs and cats. I am ready to feed them and give them lots of love and care. I've been working at a dog daycare, so I have hands-on experience caring for pups in a group setting, as well as one on one. I'm excited to meet new furry friends. I'm available every morning and evening for walks and visits. I'm available all day on weekends. I would love to hang out with furry friends. I keep everything clean. I always replace water bowls with fresh water and feed any pets. I love to take dogs on walks or cuddle and play with them. I treat all pets as my own.
About: I am a Special Education teacher who works at a Therapeutic School by day and an animal lover all day and night. I do not have kids but I have 3 cats and babysit my friends and families fur babies any chance I get. Pets have free range of my home, they can relax on the couch, chair and bed whenever they want. I have experience watching dogs from pups-elderly. I volunteer at a local animal rescue in Palatine and bring in therapy dogs to visit my classroom. I rescued and adopted a deaf kitty with one eye, and I've always had animals in my home. I am a non-smoker and vegan (vegans really do love animals). For any overnight/weekend stays, I will be home and available to play, go for lots of walks and hangout all weekend long with your fur baby. Regular walks, feedings, playtime and relaxation based on your dogs needs is my priority. I have three loving cats who will keep your dog company. I have a small backyard that is away from cars/traffic and a large front yard. I have a dog tie out and spiral stake for dogs that want to roam around my unfenced front and/or backyard. Playdates with neighboring dogs is always an option or solo, quiet time if they prefer. I can keep your pet on their walking/feeding/play/sleep schedule as you request.
“My 2 cats absolutely love Allison. ❤️ She keeps me updated on how my cats are doing while I’m away. She sends me adorable pictures of my two fur babies. She is responsible and kindhearted. She plays with them and keeps them busy. She feeds them on time and takes excellent care of them. Allison you are phenomenal!!!!”
“Elyse was fantastic. Mello is a super shy girl but she was comfortable with Elyse right away. It’s clear that Elyse has a lot of experience with animals the way she took care of Mello. When I need a pet sitter again, I’m going with Elyse.”
About: It all started when I was 5 and my sister and I convinced our animal loving parents to add to our family, we got a golden retriever puppy and a kitten in the same year. I have never lived a day without a pet in 35 years! I have open availability. I have 2 smaller dogs and a parrot. I live in a nice, quiet neighborhood perfect for walking furry friends. Ricky and Lucy (cavapoos) love a good slumber party :) I do not have a fenced in yard. My pups know the perimeters. I do take leashed potty breaks and walks with pup visitors. I am familiar with "runners" and an capable of making sure that doesn't happen!

About: I've spent my entire life around pets and animals and have pet sat for a lot of family and friends before. I always have loved spending time with animals and taking care of them. My family has raised a Lab, Goldendoodle, and a German Shepard, we are all pet lovers and are all very caring. I'm available all nights and weekends, on weekdays I have a flexible school schedule that allows me to be home multiple times per day. I am a senior about to graduate so I am taking a small amount of classes. I am very attentive to the pets I have cared for in the past, as well as my current pets. I keep to a schedule for feeding, walking, play time, and letting the pets out multiple times a day. This helps keep things organized and routine. I make sure all is well and keep communicating with their owners. Sending photos and videos to ensure your pet is having a good time.
