“Desiree is so great! I felt super relaxed on my trip knowing she was checking on my cats. My cats really seemed to feel comfortable with her too, even my really nervous cat! Absolutely recommend, and will rebook in the future :)”

“Andria was great! She communicated clearly with me every day and sent nice pictures. The first day I met with her I felt like her interactions with my cats were exactly what I would want in a cat sitter.

About: I love dogs. I have had one Doberman, one mutt who was the best, and two English Mastiffs. I had a dog everyday of my life until five years ago when my 200 pound English Mastiff named Max died. It broke my heart and hasn't felt right to replace him. But I love dogs and cherish watching the relationship people have with their dogs. I say hi to every pooch on the street that I pass. Rest assured, your dog will be treated with the utmost friendliness and care imaginable. I work from home so your dog will always have a friendly companion around. I work from home. I'm home basically all the time. And other than that, I just work on landscaping my front and back yards. I have a fenced in yard. Your pet is in great hands. I work from home.

About: Over the years, I’ve found myself drawn to caring for animals in small but meaningful ways. Whether it’s walking or playing with a family member’s energetic dog or simply offering companionship, I’ve always found fulfillment in their presence.What I may lack in professional dog care experience, I make up for with genuine attentiveness, patience, and affection. I understand how important it is to build trust with pets and their humans, and I’m committed to creating a safe, loving environment for your pets. As someone who’s cared for my aunt’s cats—including administering medication and tuning in to their unique personalities—I bring that same level of thoughtfulness and care to my work with dogs. As someone who works from home full-time, I have a flexible schedule and the freedom to work from just about anywhere—making it easy for me to prioritize your pet’s care. Whether it's a mid-day walk, potty break, or weekend with the owner's out of town, I can be present and attentive to assist you in caring for your pet's needs. Work with my schedule and I can work with your's. When providing services in your home, I will treat your space with the same respect and care I give your pets. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable with someone entering your home, and I take that trust seriously. With a patient, compassionate approach, I aim to create a calm and safe environment where your pet can feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for. As well as ensuring that the guidelines you provide are followed.
About: I have had dogs many years. We have had different kinds of dogs, such as Rottweiler/German Shepard mix, medium and small. Sat for senior dogs needing a little extra help with ambulation and medication. We have two energetic -boys to play with and take for walks around the dog friendly neighborhood. We have one healthy 17 year old Dachshund in home now that we adopted, who has been with us for over 12 years, who warm ups with guest dogs pretty quickly. Looking forward to have different dogs to share our love and time taking care of them. Took a from ROVER sitting when a kitten adopted our family and we needed to learn to care for cats. Ready to reconnect with dog again. Family oriented care for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Looking to walk or drop in care. Flexible once we meet the pet and owners. Will walk and go into home as requested. High energy or snuggles as needed to accommodate the needs of the dogs and keep them safe while caring for them.
About: I have taken pets of family and friends, both dogs and cats. I am very attentive to their body language and try my best to respect their boundaries. I’ve taken care of cats most of my life, assisting my grandma with her cats over the years has given me valuable experience with both senior cats and small kittens. I am currently only available Fridays and weekends, on Friday's from 5pm to 8pm and on the weekends I am available from 2pm to 8pm. For pet walking I can assure it’ll be the safest route possible for your pet! No Unnecessary distractions. For drop in visits I will ensure no doors are left unlocked or open, your pets needs will be met!

Chicago Ridge cat parents share their Rover experiences
While this first time we used Patrick for care our our sweet Pittie Chester was brief, Patrick was great! Our meet and great was simple and Chester was comfortable with Patrick from the start. Patrick was great at communicating with me, he made sure Chester was as comfortable as possible with all the 4th of July noise and offered to pick up outside after him. I really appreciated how easy the entire process was even when I had to change plans last minute with him! It is obvious Patrick is great with animals and I will definitely be using him again for care for my very particular fur baby!
Sajida was WONDERFUL!! She is super friendly and really takes the time to get to know your pet and all the nuances that each of our furry friends have. I received great updates and lots of pictures. My Sasha was in extremely good hands. I definitely recommend Sajida if you need a pet sitter. A+++
Andria was great! She communicated clearly with me every day and sent nice pictures. The first day I met with her I felt like her interactions with my cats were exactly what I would want in a cat sitter. I feel like she went above and beyond in giving my cats attention at the drop in visits every day. I hope she will be available every time we go out of town in the future.
