“Brianna was so kind and thoughtful in the way she cared for our babies. We truly appreciate her attention to detail and efforts to connect with our shy little guys. Thank you so much, Brianna, and we’ll be in touch for future travel.”
“Leora was able to find our cat who was hiding and spent extra time trying to find her. She is amazing with our cat who is very anxious. Best sitter we have ever worked with .”
“Karina was incredible and great to work with! She was very communicative and took the time to play with the cats after feeding/cleaning the litter box. She took many wonderful pictures and made sure they were comfortable and happy whenever she stopped by. Provided great updates after each visit as well. Fantastic sitter, would definitely book again!”
“Christina is a fabulous pet sitter! She is trustworthy, reliable, professional, and loving. She sends great photos and leaves comprehensive notes. Look no further!”
“Jennifer was an excellent, reliable pet sitter. She clearly has a great love of animals and that was reflected in my pet's care. Communication was consistent and clear, which was important when learning the specifics of my pet and the house. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Jennifer again.”
About: There is a saying dogs are like little kids. I find this amusing and exciting to be around doggies and see those similarities myself. Also it is great chance to see neighborghhood and stay active outside I have a flexible work schedule, so I can easily adjust my time to meet your pets’ needs. I’m happy to spend quality time with them, play, go for walks, feed them, and make sure they feel comfortable, calm, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet with attention and kindness, as if they were my own. I can look after your pets in the comfort of your own home, where they feel most comfortable. I’ll spend time with them, play, feed them, and make sure they’re happy and relaxed while you’re away. I’m calm, caring, and treat pets with the same attention and kindness as my own.
“Jason was absolutely fantastic! His check-in updates were detailed and reassuring, with photos and notes that showed the care he put in. He won over our usually shy cat, Puddles, which says a lot about his patience and kindness. Both Storm and Puddles were clearly well cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
About: Working at a doggy day care, we would supervise up to 300 dogs during holiday season! I led play groups for dogs tiny to giant, and paid attention to notices from owners who let us know their dogs shouldn't socialize with others. Every dog got one last turn in the yard before bed, and we all worked hard to notes for owners who requested them. Learning about all the pups we worked with was key, and I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup, too! Spending time with your furry friend fits well into my schedule. I am currently working toward the next milestone in my career, and am flexible. I will denote the times I am unavailable for you to see. I will take your notes seriously. Keeping a watchful eye, being conscious and conscientious are mandatory. This isn't just a pet, this is a member of your family.
“Paige went above and beyond. She cared for our cats with such attention, stayed flexible when plans shifted, and looked after the house as if it were her own. She even helped us with a few issues and small chores along the way. We’re grateful for her care and support.”
“I knew Abagail was the right choice for a cat sitter from the moment she conducted the meet and greet. You can tell she is clearly someone who likes cats and animals in general. She sent great daily reports and wonderful pictures so I knew Miss Delilah was in good hands. I highly recommend her services!!”
About: Hi I’m Emily! I’m 18 years old and a senior in highschool. I’ve always dreamed of being a vet and I work at a vet clinic currently as an assistant ! I’ve had tons of experience since growing up i’ve had cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, and more! Also, I have dog sat, dog walked, and even took care of my neighbors pets with special medical needs! I am so excited to help out between my work and school. I am currently a full time student in highschool and I work part time at the vet clinic! But with that there is no problem in coming by and taking care of your pet(s). My availability will always be communicated! My 3 dogs live in a fenced home, I am comfortable walking them and more than one dog so I can apply this to your pups! I am comfortable giving medicine and applying assisted care to your pets with anything!
About: I have a dachshund named Dylan and had 3 cats in my life, great with bigger dogs too such as my girlfriends Old English Bulldog. I work at a solar company this is just a service I offer on the side during the slow season. But I’ll make sure to squeeze your furry friends into my schedule There are plenty of parks where I can take your pet to, I also know of multiple specified dog play areas around buffalo grove, Lincolnshire, Vernon hills, palatine etc. I will feed them with what you tell me to feed them with, play how you ask me to play with them, and the rest of the rule setting is up to you!
“Emily was fantastic! She took the time to understand our cat’s needs, medication included. She provided us a daily update along with pictures which eased any worries we had about leaving our fur baby. We will certainly look to use Emily again in the future.”
“Anna was great! Anna communicated well, both before and during her visits with our cat, Mia. Anna took good care of her and made sure she got her medicine and had enough to eat and drink. Our cat is wary of strangers and usually hides in their presence. It was so nice to see Anna’s photos of our cat welcoming her and eating the food Anna placed out for her. Overall, Anna is easy to do business with and accommodating. She even agreed to feed our turtle while visiting. We would be happy to use Anna for future visits and recommend her to other pet owners.”
“Would highly recommend Andrea. She stayed overnight at my apartment with my 2 cats for 12 days. She gave them wet food twice a day with medicine and wasn't bothered when they woke her up at 5:30am. Would definitely use again!”

Buffalo Grove cat parents share their Rover experiences
Jennifer was wonderful! I felt so at ease knowing my cats were loved and taken care of while I was away - she left a detailed message and so many pictures every time she stopped by. Setting up time to meet with her was easy - she is so kind and friendly and took detailed notes of what we needed. Such a great sitter!
Anna made my vacation significantly more relaxed. She spent actually quality time with my cat playing with him and giving him lots of pets. He seemed to really like her even though he’s a bit standoffish with new people. She stayed in communication and kept me posted on what was happening with him while I was gone.
Alexis is great! She was very communicative and went above and beyond for my two cats. They clearly adored her as one of my cats is quite shy and usually hides with new people. But he was comfortable with Alexis and came out for her visits. I will definitely book with Alexis again.
Paige went above and beyond. She cared for our cats with such attention, stayed flexible when plans shifted, and looked after the house as if it were her own. She even helped us with a few issues and small chores along the way. We’re grateful for her care and support.
Sandy always takes such wonderful care of my Cora as if she was her own kitty. While I never like leaving Cora behind when I travel for work, I know she’s in great care with Sandy. She’s trustworthy, kind, and an all-around lovely person. I also highly value the peace of mind knowing Sandy is an experienced vet tech if anything were to ever happen. She’s the best!
