“Samantha is so friendly and kind, and was great with my kitty! Very communicative and understanding, and I loved working with her.”
“Laura was fantastic as usual with our cat Axel. It was the holidays so it was a bit frenetic as I traveled abroad, but the videos and check ins for my elder cat aided my anxiety. For an overnight sitter, Laura is the best :)”
“Morgan was awesome with taking care of our four cats. I could not have asked for a better experience. I looked forward to getting the report and pictures of them each day. You can tell she is an animal person and my cats too right up with her, even our shy one. I would highly recommended using her to anyone and plan on booking again in the future!!”
“We really appreciated the check ins that Gina did for our cat while we were out of town. Thanks for all the pictures and detailed updates! Will definitely book Gina again when we need help!”

That’s why I am looking to make some extra money on Rover! I have been around all types of animals all my life and would love the chance to come help you with yours!

I am available all morning and most of the afternoon as I take night classes so I’ll be able to watch your pups or take them out to walk while you are at work!

About: I’ve worked in vet clinics and for the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center, giving me hands-on experience with pet health, behavior, and emergencies. As a former vet assistant, I helped with surgeries, medications, and cared for pets of all ages—including seniors and post-op patients. At poison control, I worked directly with vets and pet owners to assess toxic exposures and guide treatment. Outside of work, I’m a high-energy, animal-loving farm girl with a big heart and a great sense of humor. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of love, playtime, and photo updates while you’re away. I work full-time as a Crop Consultant, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for pets. I treat every animal like my own, with safety, love, and attention to detail always top of mind. Safety and trust come first. I follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved, whether in your home or mine. With my vet clinic and poison control experience, I’m confident handling meds, emergencies and all personalities. You’ll get regular photo updates and peace of mind every step of the way.

“Kosandra was fantastic with our 2 kitties. She was on time for both feedings. The photos she took of them reassured me that they were in good hands. They were playing and allowing her to rub their bellies...a really good sign. I will definitely hire her again!”
About: I have 5 dogs in my household that I have trained and taken care of when my family goes out of town for soccer, I am more than happy to cater to your babies as well! I am currently working part time at a trampoline park, so recently business has been slow. Many people are asking for more hours, but there is so much the business can do. I am no opening my options up to pet sitting, because I love animals and I am glad to see families that love there pets as well! I let dogs/puppies out every 2 hours. My personal dogs eat twice a day, but depending on how the clients feeding schedule I can feed as wanted. Water is always available to them. They will get play time with there potty breaks as well.
“I am always worried when I move to a new area and need to find a sitter. But, I found Jade and she takes wonderful care of my 2 cats. It worked so well, that I invited her back for more stays with my fur babies.”
“Beka did a wonderful job with my dog. She sent frequent picture updates and made sure he was exercised and well cared for while I was away.”
“I was absolutely adored the brief yet thorough notes Anthony would post on the Rover cards for my two fur babies after each drop-in; as an anxious pet-owner it really kept me at ease and it was nice reading the little adventures they would get up to. I was quite pleasantly shocked as no one had done this before. He even kept the house tidy if there were any accidents or naughty chewed areas. As well as took the initiative to put on some doggie music so they didn’t feel so alone. He was pleasant and professional, yet empathetic and personal all at the same time which I greatly appreciated. Will definitely be using Anthony again in the future and I recommend you do, too!”
“Megan was amazing with our pups! Came on time, stayed the entire visit time and sent updates and pics!”
“Thank you so much Kelly! My husband and I had a worry free weekend away knowing our dogs were well taken care of with Kelly. She went above and beyond for our girls and seeing pictures and getting updates was amazing!”
About: I’ve been babysitting animals since I was fourteen years old—love all animals, both big and small, hairy and bald! Would describe myself as a golden retriever with the amount of energy I have! I am currently available to babysit anytime. I attend UIS and would love to take care of your fur baby. They will get all the love and snuggles you can imagine. I plan on keeping the animals inside when they are off a leash- when on a leash, to the park we go! I can ensure you that your animal will be safe in my smoke free home I work part time, so spending time with animals is not an issue to me. I of course will let each owner I babysit for know what I end up doing for each animal! I will follow any instructions the owner gives me about their pet so that I can help them be as comfortable as possible since they will be away from home for a while.

Let me know what you need and I’ll see if I can make it work. I will care for your pets based upon your comfort level. Safety is my utmost concern. I know what to look for as far as emotional distress and health concerns.
