“Heather was great with my cat!! Super friendly and communicative with me before and throughout visit, and helped me out by bringing in my deliveries. Thank you so much, would definitely call her up again!!”
“Angel was super attentive to my cats while I was away, and coordinated with me through complicated travel schedules to make sure they would get the care that they need! I’m super thankful for her 💙”
“Jade was professional, caring, punctual and respectful of me, my pet and my home. Leaving my pet in her care allowed me to feel secure and enjoy time away with my family. She was dedicated to making sure my pet was cared for as if I were home. Thanks to Jade and I will use Rover/Jade if she is available for my next trip and will recommend your service to others. Thank you Jade!!!👏🏾”
“Taylor was simply incredible. We went out of the country for 10 days and needed care for our two cats and Taylor took amazing care of them. They are still young so Taylor checked in on them twice a day and was SO informative with every visit she made. She took great photos of our kittens and gave details about how they were doing which made it so stress free knowing she was there multiple times a day seeing them. Our finicky, shy kitten warmed up to her and was purring and showing her love! Just goes to show how great Taylor is. We know in the future if we are out of town, we will absolutely use Taylor again if her schedule is open. We would 10000000% recommend her to anyone and everyone! Thank you Taylor!!!!!”
“Marissa is great! This is my second time working with her and she does so well checking in on my cat. I’d definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a cat sitter 😊 My cat loves when she stops by and demands all the pets when she’s around!”
“I was so worried about Simon but I came back from a 3week vacation and he was wonderful. I know this is because Alison took such good care of him. She was awesome. I would completely recommend her.”
“Forrest is always so at ease with Jawnie. She always takes great care of him and it shows. He’s always so at ease when we get home to greet him. It’s an added bonus that she always sends the best pics of my fur baby :)”
“Aleksandra was wonderful during her check ins with my 3 dogs—2 of which have medical needs and take medication multiple times each day (their care can be a lot to organize and accomplish in a short drop in). Aleks is super responsive, was flexible when the plans needed to change and made sure to give each of my girls plenty of love and attention. I will definitely reach out to her again for drop in visits and highly recommend her services to other pet parents!”
“I needed a last minute drop in visit because of a funeral and Tasha and Joseph were able to help me out! Very flexible and easy to work with and Ariel had a blast.”
About: I grew up with plenty of dogs in my family, and I was usually the designated dog sitter. All of my family and friends dogs grew up with me so I've delt with puppies and older dogs alike. I have watched dogs for months at a time and have enjoyed every last minute. I work a 9am-5pm from Mon-Fri so I am mostly busy then. I usually work from home the second half of the week so there is some flexibility on those days. But I have a completely open schedule Saturday and Sunday. If you do book for Fridays, please book drop off before 8:30am or after 2:00pm as I am meeting heavy during that time frame My apartment has a large grass yard for the dogs to play. I also love going on walks, so I am definitely willing to take them to parks. I own extra leashes, footies, beds, treats and other doggie essentials. If there are any concerns, I am willing to accommodate for dog.
About: I grew up on a farm with pitbulls and cats, so I’m very comfortable with animals of all temperaments and have experience in giving them plenty of love and attention! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to help you with your needs! I’m available for overnight boarding all nights but on Tuesdays and Thursdays I am only available after 530. I have a fenced in yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor playtime. I make sure each pet’s routine is followed, from feeding and walks to cuddle time and rest. I also keep a close eye on them during outdoor activities to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and secure.
“Corey is the best! He has been regularly dropping in on my two pups for a few weeks now and they absolutely love him. He is reliable, punctual, and just has a kind and calming presence. He knows and understands dogs well, and that experience shows. I would trust him with my pets any day!”
About: I worked at a shelter for a year and a half and then worked at an animal hospital for 3 years. I'm looking forward to meeting lots of new pet friends! I work for myself so I have plenty of time when I'm not out of town to take care of your pets. I love walking and it's much more fun with a pet! I am trained in giving medication and love cuddling with pets in my free time. I have worked in a shelter environment so I have dealt with many different pet personalities.
“Grace is amazing, she shows up and goes the extra mile. Fiona is a shelter dog with a personality and she handled her like a charm 10/10 would highly recommend.”
About: As an experienced pet owner myself, I know that it takes someone special and trustworthy to take care of our fur babies. I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, you name it! And I know that leaving our pets is stressful, for humans AND pets! My entire goal is to make whatever you need a sitter for be the least stressful situation. With experience of over 7 years, I’m someone that when you leave for vacation, you can have the comfort of knowing that I will take care of your beloved pets with kindness, gentleness, and attentiveness. I have experience with giving medications, taking on walks, and following set schedules. As a full-time social worker/therapist, I have the warmth and compassion that families and pets need to feel comfortable. I also understand that everyone is in different places in life, which is what guides my flexibility with rates. I’m always willing to negotiate and make something work. I do this for fun more than anything, and I think everyone deserves quality pet care! I am a full time social worker, so pet sitting for me is more for me to have time with animals and form connections with them AND owners outside of what can be a pretty stressful job at times. I work M-F at my job, but I work in a school, so breaks are prime time for me to sit, as I’m not working regular hours and holidays are major travel times. Outside of breaks, I’m available for anything, such as house sitting, quick check ins for a feed, or a walk here and there! I make many things work! In my home, I care for my pet by taking them to scheduled vet check ups, give flea prevention medications and any other current medications, and ensure that their potty space is clean and healthy, so they can be clean and healthy too! I also follow all instruction that I am left with to ensure that pets are safe and cared for under my watch. I always double check and ask questions to be extra careful if I have any. I’d rather ask than mess up, and that’s the best philosophy in my eyes!
Evanston pet parents share their Rover experiences
Seth watched my dogs when my previous dog sitter no longer could do it. I appreciated that he was available on short notice and even had the flexibility to stop by to meet the dogs before my trip. There was a hiccup with the drop-in process but it was resolved quickly. I’ll definitely keep him in mind for future needs!
Katie did a really great job taking care of my little cat! She provided a lot of updates and made sure he was well entertained, fed and comfortable. Every update came with lots of pictures as well which was a super welcome addition. I accidentally scheduled the wrong dates and had to change super last minute and she was very accomodating and kind about the whole thing despite all the added trouble. Overall she did a great job, communication was very thorough and my cat was very well taken care of!
Abigail is so patient and wonderful and flexible. I got asked last minute to go on this cabin trip in hocking hills add forgot to find a sitter (life has been hectic). She was so on top of everything and made the trip so much easier. Many reasons why I’m a repeat client!! She’s the best
Emily was wonderful with our three kitties! She was great about keeping us updated and informed during her visits, and even managed to get one of our more shy cats to come out of his shell and play a little during our short time away. ❤️ Would definitely have her watch our cats again!
Molly took care of my dogs for the second time and was great. She took them on long walks & gave them lots of love. There was an interaction with another dog (that dog was on a long leash) and she let me know immediately. Luckily nothing happened between the dogs but I feel like even if it did, she’d be able to handle it. And I greatly appreciate that!
