Leila really helped us out with a last minute cat drop in visits request. She was very communicative, fast to respond, and went above and beyond to do extra things we didn’t even ask her to do! I highly recommend her to anyone!

Caline was very quick to respond to my last minute request for drop in visits for our 2 cats for 9 days and very easy to work with. Communication was great. Took the initiative to ask about things this first time Rover client forgot to tell her. Shared photos for every visit which we really appreciated. Thank you!

Great walker! Very reliable, punctual, and caring. My dog was happy and well taken care of, and I really appreciated the updates and photos during the walk. You can tell they genuinely love animals and treat them with care. I would definitely book again and highly recommend!

Hope was so thorough, communicative, and lovely to work with. I've become a more anxious pet parent as our cats have gotten older and she immediately made me feel at ease. She cared for them as if they were her own, sent great pictures, and I will absolutely be reaching back out to her when we need pet care again! Thank you so much, Hope!

Tierney is an absolute life saver! I was recommended to her by another Rover on a very short notice. She made herself available to come over and watch my dogs for a couple hours at a time. She was fabulous with my two small dogs and made them comfortable, ensured they had time outside, treats, and cuddles. I am so grateful for Tierney! Can’t wait to use her services again in the future!

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’m comfortable caring for pets across the entire energy spectrum, from independent shy cats to high-energy athletic dogs. I currently have two cats of my own, so I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. One of my cats is shy and requires daily medication, so I’m experienced with administering medications and helping nervous pets feel comfortable and safe. My other cat is incredibly social, food-motivated, and always ready to remind me exactly when dinner should be served, so I’m no stranger to pets who know what they want! I also grew up with two Vizslas, which taught me just how much exercise, attention, patience, and consistency active dogs need. Whether your pet is looking for a playmate, a walking buddy, extra cuddles, or simply someone reliable to stick to their routine, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I treat every animal as if they were my own, and while I absolutely adore my cats, I’m always excited for an opportunity to get my dog fix, too. I’d love to meet your pets and help make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I have a 9-5 but I can work remotely whenever I’d like and I can step away during the day to take care of your pets. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine, providing attentive care, administering medications if needed, and treating your home with the same respect and care as my own.

Michele is my go-to sitter when I’m traveling because she’s so reliable, kind, and good with my sweet kitty. She always sends thoughtful updates and lots and lots of pictures, which means so much to me when I’m traveling and missing my cat. I would recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind with their pets when they’re going out of town.

About: My name is Meg, and I am a pet owner and in West Town, Chicago. I am looking to help fellow pet owners with reliable pet care. I currently own a dog and two cats and have been in a household with pets since childhood, so I am very familiar with all aspects of dog and cat care. I work fully remotely with a flexible schedule, so I'm hoping to get some opportunities to get outside during the day and help take care of the neighborhood pets! Safety is hugely important for both your pet as well as myself. Please let me know if there are any behavioral or medical considerations for your pet.

About: I’ve raised my mini-golden doodle of 8 years from when he was 2 months old. I’ve trained him to potty outside & all the main tricks. He’s well behaved & gentle. That’s why many of my friends have trusted me with caring for their pets. Whether that be checking in to feed them, walk them, play with them, or even lightly train them. My friends think I’m a dog whisperer. I’m currently doing a career change & study for my Illinois real estate license. My availability is completely open and flexible at this time. Let me know what your needs are! I care for dogs in a way that respects their routine, their boundaries, and keep things clean and in order. Whether it be from dog sitting overnight, I have a keen ear to puppies and when they’re up to something or know when they need to go out to potty in the middle of the night. Any other type of care will be simply respecting your home rules & how you like your pet to be handled or trained along the way.

Bella was absolutely incredible!! We hesitate to leave our doggies alone for more than 3 hours as they are anxious and one of them is a senior with a brain tumor. We decided to give it a go to celebrate my partner’s birthday and were nervously texting Bella the whole time. Our Caroline ended up having a very rough time and Bella went above and beyond to care for her. She gave us regular updates, calmed & comforted Caroline, and stayed until both doggies had settled down and were ready for bed. She kept us all sane that night and I don’t think we could’ve done it without Bella!

Highly recommend Adrianna! Adrianna watched our three cats for 5 days, coming by twice a day. Having multiple cats is already a handful, but one of our cats is diabetic and requires regular insulin shots. Adrianna handled the medication perfectly and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She kept up with the daily feeding, cleaned the litter boxes, and made sure everyone got plenty of cuddles and attention. She is reliable, professional, and clearly loves animals. We will absolutely be booking her again!
