“Noah was so patient with our puppy, and very communicative with us. Shared lots of updates, asked questions to make sure we were on the same page, and took care of the pup and cats as instructed. Will definitely book again!”

“Jayla was great. Available on short notice, super reliable, and always quick to respond. My pets were well cared for, and I really appreciated how easy they made everything. Would definitely book again.”

“Cayla was fantastic with my cat. I was new to Rover and had to make last minute changes, and Cayla was flexible and amiable throughout. She came on time, sent photos, and was responsive. I highly recommend her!!!”

“Absolutely amazing! Kenneth was on time and took care of my fur babies. My senior dog loved his drop ins for sure and the three walks a day. He made sure they had plenty of water and food. Cleaned the litter box too. Even played with Oreo the cat and his favorite string toy. Would definitely recommend to my friends and request him again if needed.”

“Justina was EXCELLENT. She was very communicative and prompt. She treated my cat very well and kept me up to date on everything that was going on. I will definitely be reaching out next time I am out of town!”

“Ashley is awesome. Very down to earth and easy to talk to, she made sure our pups felt at home while we were in town for a wedding. She was an excellent communicator about dog updates and was so easy to work with!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of different ages and all different types. I always meet them where they are at and work with their needs to the best of my ability. My schedule is pretty wide open at the moment so I'm able to do some house sitting/pet sitting as well as walks. Just let me know what your animal's needs are and I'm sure I can accommodate. I am happy to meet any expectations of the owner and adjusting my care based on the uniqueness of the animal I'm caring for. Whatever their normal routine is, I'm happy to maintain that and anything else needed.

“Caprice fed our cat for the weekend, and was very communicative, sent lots of photos and made us feel comfortable that Hendrix was safe and happy while we were away. We would definitely work with her again!”

“We are forever grateful for the incredible care and attention to detail that Sarah and Amy provided!!! It was literally the coldest and snowiest week EVER and they rocked it!! We truly had peace of mind knowing all was being taken care of while we were away. The daily updates and pics were so cute and so appreciated!!!”

“Can not say enough about Heath!!! The absolute best friend Pickles & Peanut has ever had!!! Never have a worry when we are away for the love that is shown to them is amazing!!!!! WE LOVE YOU 😻😻❤️”

About: I LOVE dogs/puppies of all types! I tend to overly shower them with love, treat them as if they are family member, providing safety, basic training, exercise, love, healthy all natural homemade food & treats (with your permission of course), and Reiki for relaxation! Auntie Tammie and cousin Rocky are waiting to meet you! I have a flexible scedule that allows me to care for dog(s) as well as my own dog who would absolutely love a companion to play with as well. I have a fenced in yard as well as a designated room for your pet to unwind and relax without distraction as replacement for crating.

“Kimberly was fantastic, jumping right in to help take care of the cats when I had to rush off to the hospital with a heart attack! she even came to the hospital to get a house key”

“Camilla was wonderful! Very detail-oriented and communicative. Our cat is a little high maintenance and Camilla stayed on top of her supplements and routines. Would definitely book with Camilla again!”

“Annemarie took great care of our kitten and dog while we were away! She provided descriptive Rover cards with pics that gave us peace of mind that our furry friends were doing well at home. We would definitely recommend!”

“Maya was incredible! She went above and beyond to care for my pet when hurricane Helene hit and the aftermath. She is so caring and loving. She is amazing at communication and knowing how to navigate when everything goes wrong. I can’t say enough about how grateful I am to her. I would recommend her with my highest praise and enthusiasm. I feel so lucky that she was there for my pet. She is the very, very best.”

About: Growing up next to a door trainer is no joke. It was definitely my gateway into pet sitting. With years of experience sitting all kinds of animals, I’ve never met a dog that hasn’t loved me. Reactive, old, needy, temperamental I’ve experienced it all. Reach out if you would like to set some time to meet and let me see how I can make your day a little better. As a part timer in nightlife, I work weekends at night. Luckily that frees up my week to be able to walk or sit for you! My superpower is sticking to the dogs routine, to set them up for success. Picky dog? Not a problem! If I do a longer stay; I will be sure to leave your home in better condition than I found it in.
Elmhurst pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ben was such an attentive cat sitter to my three boys while I was away. He cleaned up a few messes, picked up medication, and communicated so well. I came home to 3 happy boys with clean bowls, an empty trash, and no weird smells (the dream return home scenario!)

We had a great experience with Noah caring for our 2 dogs Luna and Woody. He did a meet and greet first to learn each dogs individual personalities. Noah communicated well during their visits with updates. He also offered to feed my pet turtles and filled my outdoor bird bath.

I teach full time in another state which requires a super long day on a weekly basis. Jayla has become an indispensable and reliable support to help me get through the semester. She is on time, communicative, and great with my pup. Highly recommend!! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Sarah and Amy were so awesome while I was away from my cat for 10 days. They were in daily contact with me with plenty of great photos to pull at my heartstrings. They really gave that extra love to my cat which is exactly what I would hope for but never expected. I’ll definitely book with them again in the future.
