“Dustin was very patient with my anxious dog (and very patient with his anxious mamma). Thank you for hanging in there with him, I appreciate it. Highly recommended!”

“Keishla took great care of my large dog and cats while I was away. She even won over the affection of my more skiddish kitten! From the meet and greet, through the end of the sit, Keishla was respectful, responsive, and professional. She spent plenty of time playing with the animals, kept the house clean, and sent several updates and pictures throughout the sit. I would happily book her again!”

“Absolutely wonderful! My girl was so well loved, cared for, took her ok so many walks and adventures and was such a great communicator. Thank you Janessa for being amazing!”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Mel. She was incredibly communicative from start to finish and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She sent frequent updates and tons of adorable pictures, which we loved and truly appreciated. She took wonderful care of our home and gave us such peace of mind during our wedding weekend, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment. It was clear our pup was in caring, capable hands the entire time. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter! Thank you, Mel!”

“So happy Carolyn housesat for us again, she takes excellent care of our dog and 2 cats as well as our home. She is a gem and we can’t wait to have her back!”

About: In my younger years I was known as that house you could trust your pets with, which sadly led to less boarding and daycare services and more abandonment of pets on my doorstep. I accepted each surrender because I always figured better here with me then on the streets. After successfully adopting out all these love bugs to people I knew and trusted over the years, I've found myself in smaller quarters. I've found comfort and fulfillment in caring for outdoor cats (commonly referred to as strays) Taking in an orange Tabby to call my own in the process. I've made friends with neighbors who share the same love and passion and through these connections found community - a cat community! I currently care for three cats (siblings), house-sitting as well while their human parents are away. Each individual cat has it's different wants/needs. Through these experiences I've learned gaining trust and love is different for each individual feline. I'm looking to expand my care/services to neighboring cat families mainly because I love cats and know how important it is to have a community of cat folks in your corner when duty, vacation or emergencies call. I'm currently employed by Uber Eats so I make my own schedule. I'm open to weekend care as well. The only thing I do religiously is cultural dancing on Wednesday nights. My current clients are all indoor kitties so I am used to securing the household, feeding on a schedule throughout the day and doing enrichment with them be that play or individual love and cuddle time. I prepare meals specific to each cats needs, keep litterboxes and surrounding areas clean and keeping water stations fresh.
“Abreena was a great sitter. She gave me regular updates about Mae and followed all of her care instructions. I got home and my apartment was in perfect condition. I’ll definitely use Abreena again!”

“Jennifer & her daughter did a great job taking care of Luna and even took her to the river to cool off and play in some water! Her daughter was very professional and sent multiple pictures and updates! Thank you!”

“I’ve never felt so comfortable and anxiety free leaving my beloved animals while on a trip. So grateful for her wonderful care, clear and detailed communication, and the ease all around.”

About: I love DOGS! I have grown up around dogs of all shapes and sizes! Much like some of our dogs, I also get a little mischievous when I get left home alone too long, so let my extra energy benefit you! I am happy to run your dog until they are completely tuckered out, or take a little jaunt around the block to keep our senior pets moving and grooving! Whatever you and your pets may need, I am happy to accommodate! Currently working part-time and studying to become a yoga instructor! I have a very open schedule and can be very flexible to suit your family's needs! Animal safety is always a top priority. Happy to send photos or videos of your pet during our visit so that you can relax knowing your pet and I have having a great time together!
“Sabrina was wonderful! She was very organized, communicative, and always on time. We felt completely comfortable having her in our home, and she even left it cleaner than when we left. She sent photos and videos that gave us peace of mind and showed how well our pets were being cared for. Leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful, but with Sabrina we had no concerns at all. We’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”

About: I have been dog sitting and taking care of pets since I was 15. I love being with dogs of all ages and breeds. I have a soft spot for anxious or nervous dogs as I also have a nervous dog at home myself! I will be sure to send you photos and updates every day about your pet and will treat them like they are my own pup. They will be well taken care of and receive lots of love when they are with me. New to Rover? Use my code for $20 off your first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/natass69178 I am currently working full-time, but I am available to come by on my lunch break for a potty break or walk, and can come take care of your pet before 8am and after 5pm. If you prefer to keep your dog crated, I make sure they are not being destructive to your home while I am gone. I also make sure to give them plenty of mental stimulation, and I will clearly communicate all matters to you.
“Elisa took on a last-minute housesitting booking and did such a great job! She was so loving with my pup and gave her lots of exercise. She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative overall, followed the instructions I left perfectly, and left the house very clean. I will absolutely plan on booking her again, including for drop-ins. Thank you Elisa!”

About: I have been around pets my whole life! I have watched family, neighbors and friends animals. From daily walks to belly rubs or just keeping your dog company. I am dedicated to giving you what your pet needs! Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because I work from home half of the week / have a flexible schedule. I will make sure to give your pet my full attention when I am with them! I always ensure that I do my best to follow your pets usual routines from feeding schedules to walking times and any special instructions provided.
“Brandon did a great job watching Tito! He was reliable and attentive, and Tito really liked him right away. I felt totally at ease and would definitely trust him again. Highly recommend!”

Central Oak Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Janessa did a fantastic job watching my cat and house while I was away. She sent regular photos and updates, which gave me great peace of mind knowing everything was being well cared for. My cat was happy and relaxed when I returned, and the house was just as I left it. I would definitely hire Janessa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Really can’t say enough great things about Katelyn!! She cared for our dogs as if they were her own, and left our house absolutely immaculate. She absolutely went above & beyond. Great communication & responsiveness, and it’s clear she’s a real animal lover! We will certainly ask her to care for our dogs again and recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent sitter. 🤗
Laura has been the most flexible, understanding, and easiest sitter - my boys love when she stops by. She texts and sends photos, which brings peace of mind at work. I haven’t found the right person to help ever since I moved back to Sacramento, so I’m lucky she and I connected. Trust me y’all, shes the one! Thank you Laura ✨

Jacob was awesome. I needed a dog sitter for two large retrievers for a short out of town trip. Jacob was available and we set up a time to meet. Jacob was prompt and very professional. I was very comfortable with having him stay at my home with the dogs. During his stay, he was very communicative and sent lots of photographs. He didn’t mind my constant checking in from afar. My neighbors gave him their nod of approval. He treated my dogs like they were his own and that was much appreciated. They were very spoiled while under Jacob’s care. I would highly recommend Jacob. You won’t be disappointed. I look forward to having him return for future dog sitting.

Four stars all the way . Mel was so great ! We never used Rover before this time and I was a little worried. But meeting Mel and seeing how well she took care of our 11 year old Opie , I will only use Mel from here on out . Opie seems to really like her and she gave us updates the whole three days. She even cleaned and washed her towels . You can’t ask for a better pet sitter . Thank you so much Mel ! We really are happy we picked you . Michelle and Opie

Camilla watched my dog Patsy for a couple of nights while I was away for a wedding. I felt very comfortable leaving Patsy in her care and that’s not an easy thing to do as she is an old girl and reactive while on walks towards other dogs so leaving her always makes me nervous. Right away Camilla was very friendly and warm towards Patsy and I could tell Patsy liked her right away! Camilla sent me regular updates which I appreciated and helped me be able to relax while traveling. When I got home Patsy was clearly well cared for and my house was as clean as I left it. I will definitely be using Camilla again in the future and I’d recommend her to anyone who may need pet care in the future!

Abby is absolutely phenomenal! She is responsible and checks in whenever she has questions. We have had her housesit for our two dogs on several occasions and she is our go to sitter when needed. We appreciate her kindhearted, respectful and responsible care!
