“Patricia took good care of our cat in our week-longabsence. There was some slight miscommunication in dates, but Patricia was more than accommodating to ensure our cat got the number of visits required.”
“Molly did drop-in visits for my cat Maizie while I was out of town and she was great! Maizie can be shy and anxious with new people and Molly was very patient with her. Molly was also willing to administer Maizie's daily oral medication (and to build the necessary trust with Maizie to do so), which was very important to me. I also appreciated how communicative Molly was and how quickly she responded to questions I had while I was away. I would definitely recommend Molly for cat-sitting/cat care!”
“Sarah is professional, caring, and communicative and gave regular updates which I really appreciated. My cat was totally relaxed when I got home. Sarah is my new go to cat sitter!”
“Eternal gratitude towards Yesenia for watching my cat Rover and helping me run small errands while I was away especially during the Holidays! <3 I returned to find my apartment super tidy and everything in one place. She is flexible and attentive. I had an amazing experience with her as my sitter and you will too!”
“Michael was easy to work with and it really seems like he enjoys spending time with animals. Any pet would be in good hands with him. Will definitely be in touch with him again!”
“Monica and Calvin were so great! It was clear from the extensive photos that they really took the time to get to know our cat, and engage her and make her feel taken care of. We will definitely look to book them again next time we leave town.”
“Angela helped us last minute while I was out of town and my partner was busy. She was very communicative and kind. Our pup had to take some medication and she did well with that. Many thanks for your help!”
“Mariam did a fantastic job watching our cat! She was very communicative and professional; she updated us after every visit and sent lots of pictures. 10/10 would recommend and will be using her services again!!”
“Kexin was incredible! I was very nervous about leaving my kitty home for the first time, but Kexin sent me so many photos it was like I never left! I came back to a very happy and well taken care of cat all because of Kexin. 100/10 amazing cat sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of or have had animals since I was a child. Currently I have a cat named Ida who is very sweet & affectionate. Currently I work from home & attend online grad school. I’m flexible in my routines to prioritize pet care. I have my weekends free at this time. My environment is animal friendly. I have a fenced in back yard and live near a park. I have a cat named Ida who is welcoming to new animals inside our home. I allow animals on my bed and furniture.
About: My pet care journey began at age 12, when I started dog sitting for my aunt while she was out of town. From then on, I knew caring for animals was something I genuinely enjoyed. I don’t just walk dogs or feed cats—I build real connections with every animal I care for. My approach is rooted in patience, attentiveness, and understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe and loved while their people are away. I also prioritize communication with pet parents—daily updates, photos, and check-ins are always part of the package. I currently have a sweet gray cat named Nala, but I’ve always had a soft spot for dogs—and I can’t wait to share my care and attention with more of them! Whether you need daily walks or extended stays, my open availability makes planning easy and stress-free. I am available for both last-minute bookings and regular care routines. When I’m caring for pets in someone else’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I would my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident that both your pet and home are in good hands. I always follow any instructions closely, maintain consistent routines, and provide regular updates—so you’re never left wondering how things are going. You can trust that your furry family member—and your home—will be treated with care, professionalism, and integrity.
About: I’ve always had dogs of my own. Currently, I have two older dachshunds both 13 years old and a 7 year old husky mix. A lot of my experience with specialized pet care comes from +3 years from working in animal care in animal shelters, clinics, and boarding facilities. I’m working part-time, however it changes every week so I’ll have to update my schedule weekly. On my days off, I plan to incorporate walks and check in’s into my weekly schedule. If taking care of your pets in your home, I will be very caring and cautious. I will take care if them how I want others to care for my own. I like to make “puzzles” for my dogs with treats to stimulate them.
About: I am a responsible and energetic animal lover! I enjoy taking walks and being outdoors. I have a lifetime of personal experience and 3 years of professional pet experience. I love giving pets lots of love and plenty of fun and exercise. I plan to volunteer at my neighborhood dog rescue. I currently Dog/House sit for a family that I nanny for. I always want to provide my families and pup friends with an amazing experience. I grew up with a Rottweiler named Thunder. She was the love of my life. We did almost everything together. My bestfriend. That's the bond I am trying to provide to every furry and feathery friend that crosses my path. I hope to bring your furry friend the same joy and good times I gave mine.
About: I have parented animals my entire life from dogs to fish to lizards, all until I moved to Chicago for college. I have experience caring for most breeds, whether small or large. I love a cuddly pup, and an owner who doesn’t mind cute pictures throughout the job! I am always looking for ways to not only meet new people, but new pups! Mostly flexible on weekends, I am a college student who works 9-5 most week days. I am willing to work on a specific schedule either early in the mornings, evenings or nights. I have experience caring for pets in houses, apartments, and even hotels (it was a strange week). Depending on the pup, I love going for walks, chilling on the couch or playing on the floor. If dogs require extra special care, I would love to help.
About: I grew up taking care and even sitting some of my mom's friends dogs. In my teens I would take care and sit a few family members dogs. I then volunteered at a puppy adoption center in Mexico. I am currently only attending school on Friday mornings from 8am to 12pm. I will update my schedule once I go back to tutoring or when my classes change. I will ensure that your pets get the care they need and the exercise they need. I will also pay attention to any requests your pets may need.
“As a repeat customer, I think Maribel is the absolute best!! My kitty wasn’t feeling well and she went above and beyond to make sure he was doing okay. He’s now feeling much better and already misses playing with her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13, mainly my own, but I’ve also taken care of friend’s and family friend’s dogs in these past 3 years, so I understand the anxiety or fear of leaving a part of your family in the care of someone that isn’t you and won’t treat your pet like you will. That’s why I always adjust and accommodate my services to every pet’s needs. When it comes to basic care of pets, I always take puppies and dogs on walks at whichever time of day that they need to go out, always making sure to bring snacks and water so they always stay hydrated and healthy. I make sure they have enough playtime inside and outside so they don’t get bored and are entertained. I understand that not every dog wants to play or can’t move too much, so I of course adjust these activities to accommodate every pet’s individual needs so they’re always comfortable and happy. I also have experience with senior care, specifically giving dogs the medicines they need at the intended hours of the day or night. It goes without saying that my main priority are the pets in my care so I also make sure to always check up on every pet at different hours and times, rarely leaving them out of my sight (while also keeping my distance if they’re resting) to ensure they’re always okay. I work part-time remotely since I finished university in March of 2024. So I have no issues with times and days that will work best for you and your pets! I care for pets in client’s homes by making sure they’re never missing anything, from food, water, toys, time to go to the bathroom, medicines if they take them, etc… I make sure pets understand I’m simply there as an aid for them and someone they can play with if they choose to! I’m simply there to ensure every pet is taken care of while also having time to play and give them their space, after all, it’s their home and they need to feel the most comfortable and safe in their own space.

Caitlin M.
“Caitlin has been my trusted cat sitter for Paulette for the past 5 years and I couldn’t ask for anyone better. During this time, our cats have become besties, which gives me peace of mind knowing Paulette has a sweet friend to hang out with while I’m away. Caitlin sends me cute pics throughout the day that always make me pause in my tracks and smile. Whenever I pick up Paulette, she’s just happy as a clam, relaxed as if I never left, and super well-groomed thanks to the extra care and brushing Caitlin provides 😸💈”

Our I household also has a cat. Mellanie has pets sat the animals while we have gone on vacation. I highly recommend her for the professionalism, patience and care that she gives my fur babies.”

Brighton Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Erin was very kind + friendly and I felt great leaving the care of my cats in her hands for a short family vacation. She sent photos + an update of each visit and was even willing to come an extra visit when our flight was delayed (car trouble ruled that out but the thought was there). Will definitely look to book her again when needed!
Ana was great, she accommodated us with a pretty last minute request. We went out of town and left both our very strong and high energy pittie/staffy pups home alone for the very first time. As you can imagine as a dog parent, that made me a nervous wreck. Ana took great care of our dogs (and cats), and she has been communicative and lovely. She provides plenty of pictures for reassurance and detailed written updates. I am so grateful for Ana making our trip possible!!!
Carli was so good with my dog Kip! We just moved into a new place and she went extra lengths to make sure he felt comfortable in his new space while we were out of town. She took great care to send us updates and photos of their dates, and made sure he had the comfort/confidence he needed to settle in without feeling anxious. We are so grateful for you Carli!
Selena is the best! This was her second time dropping in with my cats while on vacation and I can’t say enough great things about her! She provides the best updates and photos, is super communicative and our kitties, who are otherwise incredibly shy with most, love her which is a testament to her patience and care!
Yaneris always takes great care of my cats. She also did great keeping everything clean and tidy which is always extra nice coming home to that after a trip. My cats seemed calm and peaceful when I came home which shows the attention they were given during her visits.
Maani was fantastic! I have a super loving, separation anxiety filled Pittie and from our first meet and greet with Maani I knew they would hit it off perfectly! She was prompt, communicated well and stayed for as long as she could each visit… she even took him for a walk that evening. I am so thankful to Maani for taking such great care of my babies!
Margo is GREAT!!! She has cared for my cats twice now, and each time I came home to exceptionally chilled out and happy cats---I could tell they were happy and in wonderful hands. Margo was very accessible, easy to work with, very well organized, and sent me amazing shots of my happy cats from her visits. I can't recommend her enough. Margo the cat whisperer!!!
Simiao was very easy to communicate with and took great care of my two kitties. She agreed to stock up the automatic feeder every day for a second wet food feeding. The feeder did not work exactly as I thought but together we managed to get it working correctly. She provided daily picture updates and sent videos as well. She fed them, played with them and brushed them. She also agreed to keep my key after the last day and returned it once I was back. This provided great relief for me in case there were any travel disturbances and I would not be back on time. She also cleaned up and I did not come back to a craziness of hair after two weeks. Overall a great experience!
Sean was really great, figured out how to get one my scaredy cats to finish her dinners, and always played and kept them occupied and tired them out on every visit. When I got back from a trip of nearly 2 weeks, they were all energetic and happy to see me, but also contented and not anxious at all. That's hard to do with these guys.
