“Vanessa took great care of our cat Teddy while we were away. We appreciated her questions in our meet and greet and her attention to detail in his care. Teddy misses her already!”
“Marcela did a wonderful job walking Beau and following instructions as he's still a puppy and training to walk. There is another puppy she walks in the apartment, but although we offered that she could walk Beau together with that puppy, she stated that she preferred to give each dog individual attention, which we were surpised by and appreciated. She took a lot of photos and videos, and we'd gladly ask Marcela to walk Beau again!”
“Charlie has been amazing with my dog Oliver. He walks him during the day and is always reliable, attentive, and caring. I can tell Oliver genuinely enjoys his time with him, which gives me peace of mind while I’m busy. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, but Charlie makes it effortless. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and kind dog walker.”
“Xiaoying was super accommodating for my last minute request for my cats to be fed super early in the morning! My boys have a bit of a complex feeding situation but she followed all the instructions perfectly. She even played with them and sent tons of funny, adorable pictures!”

About: I really pay attention to each pet’s routine and the little things they do like their body language, energy level, and what makes them feel comfortable or stressed. I try to keep everything as close to their normal schedule as possible so they feel safe and settled, even when their owner isn’t home. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly schedule because I’m available Monday through Saturday. I make time each day for walks, check-ins, and any care pets need. I stay flexible so I can follow each pet’s routine and keep them comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I always focus on making pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable whether I’m in my home or the client’s home.

When I’m in a client’s home I respect their space and keep everything clean and secure. I always double check doors and gates to make sure the pet stays safe. I also pay close attention to how the pet is acting so I can tell right away if they need something or seem uncomfortable. My goal is to keep things stress free so pets feel relaxed and owners feel confident their pet is being well cared for.

East Elmhurst pet parents share their Rover experiences
Xiaoying took great care of our cat during a week of drop-in visits. She gave us peace of mind by sending LOTS of photos after every visit. She consistently fed our cat, refreshed the water, cleaned the food and water dishes, and spent time playing with her. We came home to a happy cat and would definitely book Xiaoying again!
Charlie very gracefully accommodated our last minute request to drop in on our two cats, which we really appreciate. He did an outstanding job ensuring they had food, water, and litter, and was very responsive. We loved receiving updates on the cats every day. Would book again if I have the opportunity.
Paula was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and she took such good care of our babies. We have two cats that she visited and fed every morning while we were on vacation . She was really responsive, responsible, friendly , loving and kind . I got videos and photos everyday along with updates . She was a blessing . I was totally at ease knowing she was caring for our boys . I highly recommend her !
Laura is very attentive and took great care of my cat, Bunny! Bunny had some mild diarrhea right before we left for our trip, but thanks to Laura’s attentive care, she was back to her healthy self in no time. She also kept me updated and took lots of pics which I really appreciated. Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Jennifer was fantastic—even our most bashful cat, who had to be allowed to eat in the bedroom on her first day, was showing up to greet Jen at the front door by the end of her gig. We got plenty of photos from each session, and they were happy and full of energy when I finally came home. I would definitely ask her to take care of our cats again!
Our cat Teddy was glad to see Vanessa again for a couple days while we were out of town. She took good care of him and provided updates and photos. Vanessa is easy to work with, and we appreciated her prompt and thorough communication before, during, and after her visits as needed. Thank you!
Raul did an excellent job pet sitting for Gunner. He made sure to follow instructions my husband and I gave him, which gave us a peace of mind. When something wasn’t completely clear, he checked in with me, I really appreciated that level of communication and care. It’s safe to say he’s doing a great job getting to know both us and Gunner, and we feel comfortable trusting him with our dog. Highly recommend!
