“She visited my apartment every other day to care for my cats while I was gone. She was very attentive and helped me w/ a plant mishap which was greatly appreciated! Would use her again!”
“I tend to feel bad leaving my cat with unfamiliar people as she is not super cuddly and easily irritable but Madeline did a wonderful job. I will definitely be considering her in the future and referring her to others. Thanks Madeline!”
“This was my first time using Rover and it couldn’t have gone any better with Alicia! She made me very comfortable leaving my cat in her care in my own home and provided me with daily updates and pictures! She is very kind and you can see that she is so caring towards animals. She is the best!”
“Amber is very friendly and knowledgeable about pets, and she did a great job with our kitty during the holidays. She was responsive and sent us an update everyday. We appreciated the transparency of the Rover card. Thank you!”
“Kenzie is the best cat sitter we've ever had. She communicates well and all our cats love her. She has been patient and loving to our cats. Will def hire her again to look after our furry babies.”
“Archie was so helpful! I’d definitely book them again, and I’d recommend them! We have one cat who needs to have two pills administered daily, and they were able to make sure she got her meds.”
“David did a great job taking care of our 1 year old cat Eggbert, he got plenty of play time and had fun hanging out. I loved reading the detailed updates after each visit. Highly recommend.”
“Once again Joey and Sydney took good care of my cat Holly. They came at consistent times and gave her the attention she loved. I knew they would let me know if there was a problem with her or the house. I will use them again. Holly will be happy to know that!”
About: I love 'em all. Grumpy, rambunctious, shy, reactive, or odd, I want to get to know your pet and take the time to learn from them and you about what they need in a caretaker. I have a soft spot for large, wild rescues. I am an avid hiker and can bring your dog on an enriching adventure, or we can take it slow in the neighborhood and stop to smell every few feet. If it's shorter at-home check-ins you need, I'll be sure to be present and involved the whole time I'm with your buddy. Long walks? I'll plan the route. Quiet company inside? We'll get along famously. I'm all about respecting you, your pet, and whatever you need from me to make your life a little easier! Please note that I also have a lifetime of experience with small mammals, rabbits in particular. I am skilled in administering meds and understand their behavior well. During the weekdays, I am most available in the early mornings and mid afternoons through evening. That being said, just ask and I can very likely flex my time! While I don't offer boarding in my home (I have a free-roam rabbit), I am more than willing to work with whatever home situation and expectations you have! My default is to be as present as possible. I will take good care of the needs of your pet and your space – you can trust me on that. Just let me know what you expect in your home and you'll be sure to see it happen!
“Excellent first Rover experience! We were a little apprehensive to leave our girls, especially our older cat Blackberry with medical conditions, with someone through a website, but we were extremely pleased with the quality-of-care (and cute photos!) Michelle provided. Our directions were followed exactly and all three of our girls very happy and healthy when we returned. We would absolutely book with them again!”
“Per usual, Holly was wonderful. We’ve used her several times and trust her completely. She is very conscientious, and takes amazing care of our two pets. She puts us at ease by sharing fun notes and updates about her check-ins, and the BEST pictures of our boys. Highly recommend!”
“Danielle was great with my two cats! They loved having her come over and play and just hang out and cuddle. She also came to meet the cats and see how everything was laid out in the house. I will definitely use her again!”
“My German Shepherd dog fell in love with Tanya at first sight! She's obviously loves animals. Everything went great, will definitely book Tanya again! Appreciated the photos of my dog and cat while I was away!”
“Masha did a fantastic job with our cats while on vacation! She sent great updates and pictures while we were gone, and did a lot of playtime. We felt very comfortable that she was taking good care of them while we were away!”
About: I have two friendly cats and backyard chickens. I have had cats and dogs for most of my life. I go trail hiking at local forest preserves and state parks 2-4 times a week and would love to take your dog with me! I only have one dog guest at a time (unless they are from the same home) so I can give them lots of care and attention and provide you with regular updates and photos. You will know your pet is being well looked after. My goal is to make your pet feel like it is on a fun vacation while you are on a fun vacation. Nothing makes me happier than dogs I've cared before, coming back and pulling on their leash to come into my house on their next visit! I only work half-time so I have plenty of time for pets. I know how important your pet is to you and I'm very responsible. My dog guests are walked at least three times a day including a walk or hike of 30 minutes or longer. They are also able to use my fenced in backyard when the chickens are locked up for the night .

Mary was so sweet with my kitties! She spent extra time at the meet and greet to make sure they were comfortable with her. I even got to see pictures of her kitties :) Everything went super smooth and will be sure to check her schedule when I am out of town again!
Brayden did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. He did everything we asked him to including bringing in packages from outside. He sent multiple pictures of our fur baby daily so we could feel close to him while we were away and know he was being well taken care of!
Mabray was amazing! She took such great care of our kitties while we were away for 3 weeks. Her communication was excellent—she always sent wonderful pictures and updates that made being away so much easier. Scheduling with her was super easy, and everything worked out perfectly. I highly recommend her services and will definitely book with her again (and again!). Thank you so much, Mabray! ❤️🙏🏻
