House Sitting Elmhurst

“Keishla is great. My pup loves her and even with an injury, she gave Rocco lots of love and exercise. She was great about sending updates, pictures, and responding. She took great care of my home too.”

“Kilani was AMAZING! My kitties came out to greet her instantly. Even my shy kitty came out and said hello, which is very rare for him (he usually hides). I immediately loved and trusted her. She has such a sweet and calming energy and she is also very professional. Asked a lot of good questions at our meet and greet to make sure we were all set up for success. She stayed overnight for the weekend with my two kitties and sent me photos every day. I didn't worry about my kitties once because I knew they were in good hands. And from the photos, I could tell my cats were SUPER comfortable with her because they were chillin in all their favorite places. Kilani will for 100% be my go-to cat sitter, and she should be yours too!”

“Carolyn is fantastic. Can't recommend her enough. One of our dogs was recovering from an injury requiring 3x day medication and wound cleaning during the 5 night house/dog sitting. His healing progressed well under Carolyn's care. Even our vet surgeon was impressed with how much his healing progressed at his check-up 3 days after my return. What a relief to be on a work trip and know my dogs were in such good hands. The daily texts and pictures were lovely. Carolyn even taught our small dog to be more confident going in/out of the dog door and stop slipping through the gate to bark at the back door!”

About: I have been dog sitting and taking care of pets since I was 15. I love being with dogs of all ages and breeds. I have a soft spot for anxious or nervous dogs as I also have a nervous dog at home myself! I will be sure to send you photos and updates every day about your pet and will treat them like they are my own pup. They will be well taken care of and receive lots of love when they are with me. New to Rover? Use my code for $20 off your first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/natass69178 I am currently working full-time, but I am available to come by on my lunch break for a potty break or walk, and can come take care of your pet before 8am and after 5pm. If you prefer to keep your dog crated, I make sure they are not being destructive to your home while I am gone. I also make sure to give them plenty of mental stimulation, and I will clearly communicate all matters to you.

“Ava stayed in our house to care for our elderly diabetic cat while my husband and I were out of town. She administered 2 injections and 2 pills per day, in addition to his regular care and feeding. She also played with him, brushed him, and gave us daily updates on how he was doing. It was wonderful to know our little guy was in good hands! We got home yesterday to a relaxed, well-cared for cat! I recommend Ava without hesitation, and I will definitely hire her again in the future when the need arises.”

About: Hi! My name is Éowyn, and I'm a Psychology student at the University of California, Irvine. I'm dependable, patient, and absolutely love spending time with animals. If there's a dog or cat at a gathering, you'll probably find me spending time with them! I've been helping care for pets since I was four years old (I am now almost 20). Growing up, I cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from Chihuahuas to Huskies and German Shepherds. I also have extensive experience caring for cats and have helped care for 12 cats throughout my lifetime. My pet care experience includes dog walking, feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning up after pets, changing litter boxes, playtime, and making sure every animal receives the attention and affection they need. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one special. As a Student Manager in the UC Irvine Anteater Band and an Undergraduate Intern with the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office, I've developed strong communication, organization, and responsibility skills. Pet owners can count on me to show up on time, follow instructions carefully, and provide dependable care for their pets. I'm an active person who enjoys walking, so whether your dog needs exercise, playtime, or simply companionship while you're away, I'd be happy to help! My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit because I know how reassuring it is to know your pet is happy and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I'm currently only working 16 hours a week, Monday-Thursday, 8am-12pm. Other than this time, I have plenty of time to take care of your furry baby! I'm also relatively free/open on Fridays and weekends. Whether it's morning walks, afternoon drop-in visits, evening playtime, or overnight house sitting, I'm committed to following your pet's routine as closely as possible. I also make it a priority to communicate promptly and keep you updated throughout each visit with photos and messages. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I always take the time to learn their routine, personality, dietary needs, and any special instructions before each visit. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed (unless instructed otherwise in a safe, enclosed area), stay aware of our surroundings, and prioritize their safety at all times. During drop-in visits and house sitting, I'll make sure your pets are fed, have fresh water, receive plenty of attention and exercise, and stick as closely as possible to their normal routine. I also treat every client's home with the same care and respect I would my own. I'll keep your home clean and secure, lock doors and gates, and provide regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your pet (and home!) is happy and well cared for. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet by providing dependable, compassionate care every time.

“Jenna is the best Rover sitter I've found! Sends regular updates, is super thoughtful and takes great care of my older pup. Trustworthy, reliable. Have used her before and will continue to book with her!”

“Emily was great. She was very communicative of everything that was going on with Taji while I was away. She also kept the house in great shape. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a sitter.”

Christopher P.

“Dustin was very patient with my anxious dog (and very patient with his anxious mamma). Thank you for hanging in there with him, I appreciate it. Highly recommended!”

Karen S.

“Excellent as always, thank you Joel. Loki is always a relaxed, happy boy when we get home. We've already booked Joel for 3 more house/dog sits.”

Lisa L.

“Janessa did a fantastic job watching my cat and house while I was away. She sent regular photos and updates, which gave me great peace of mind knowing everything was being well cared for. My cat was happy and relaxed when I returned, and the house was just as I left it. I would definitely hire Janessa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

Celia S.

“My husband and I cannot thank Morgan enough, so I will try to capture it in this review. Morgan was very responsive when I set a date and time we needed her. She asked to set up a meet & greet. My dogs were super excited, and she was straightforward to talk to; flexible with how to work things out for the stay. During her stay, she provided updates but was not overwhelmed with so many photos. Just enough to let me know the dogs are alive, and she hasn't pulled her hair out on them. We are confident that we'd like Morgan to dogsit for us again in the future!”

Annie R.

“I’ve used rover many times before, Maria not only left me reassured on our pet meet up before the booking but also during booking. She listened to all of my elder dogs needs, my baby is 14 years of age and leaving her for a week was definitely nerve wracking since here eyes are already grey. She would send me updates on my pets, my dog doesn’t get along with many people or pets but she allowed Maria to get near her and even napped together. She truly is Angel and HIGHLY recommend!”

“Jessie was great with my pup! He is over 6 years old and this was his first experience with an overnight pet sitter. Jessie was very communicative, sending pictures and updates throughout the stay, making me feel comfortable while I was away. She also followed his routine perfectly so he also felt very comfortable with her. Definitely hope to work with Jessie again!”

Emily K.

“As always, Bari took great care of our dog, Merlin, and our house while we were away for the weekend. It's fantastic to be able to go on vacation with the peace of mind that our little guy is being well taken care of. We appreciate it so much!”

Minta K.

“I cannot say enough good things. Aichav is amazing. She took such great care of my dogs and house. They were looking for her this morning. Absolutely highly recommend and will be using her going forward”

Karen P.

“Elly was safe and happy while we were gone. We got pics daily. She was happy when we got home. Mel saved us because we had another sitter cancel last minute so she was a BIG help!”

Ashley C.

“Jala is great. She was sweet to Cowboy and took great care of him. (Maybe too well? It’s possible Cowboy will prefer her from this point forward.)”

Dennis M.

“This is my second time booking RJ to watch my dog at my place and he was amazing once again. He sends daily pics and updated me on how my little girl was doing which provides a lot of peace of mind, especially having a senior dog. Whenever he had a question he would reach out which I appreciated.”

Desiree S.

“We love Alayna taking care of our dogs when we go away. She took care of Furla’s medications, cooked veggies for our dogs and kept our house clean. We will definitely book her again 🫶”
