1. Paula K.

“Paula did a great job watching our two cats! She sent lots of pictures each day and was great at communicating! I felt bad I kept bothering her with little tasks because the cats would push things over or turn things off but she never had an issue with anything!”


2. Ellie Z.


“Ellie was absolutely amazing! I was very nervous about leaving my 4 kitties for the first time since I moved to Chicago but Ellie made sure I always had a full update with lots of cute pictures. It made me feel a lot better knowing that they were getting the best care with someone who truly loves animals and will treat them like her own. I would recommend Ellie to anyone who has pet care needs, she is awesome!”

7. Adrian M.

“Adrian did a great job taking care of our two dogs during his visits on Friday. He was responsible for taking care of them out to the backyard and feeding them, which he handled with care. Adrian was communicative throughout the day, which we really appreciated. Although we would have preferrer getting an update sooner during the second visit, overall, we were pleased with his service. We would recommend him to others looking for a reliable dog sitter.”


8. Malika K.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Malika pet sit my two cats, Izzy and Rudy, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. Malika was incredibly kind and attentive, making sure both cats were well-cared for and happy. She has a natural ability with animals, and it was evident in how comfortable and content Izzy and Rudy were in her care. Malika provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals truly sets her apart. I wholeheartedly recommend Malika to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. She went above and beyond, and I will definitely be using her services again in the future.”

11. Calvin T.
“Calvin is a truly exceptional pet caregiver! He is responsible, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. Every time he’s watched my dog, Maya, I’ve felt completely at ease knowing they’re in such caring hands. He communicates regularly with updates and photos. I highly recommend Calvin to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and passionate. I’d trust him to walk and look over my pets anyday!”


12. Angelica M.

“My cats are usually out-of-sight as soon as unfamiliar people are over, but both were immediately drawn to Angelica's gentle and low-key vibe. I met a couple of other Rovers and pretty much let my cats choose their sitter. Angelica was very responsible and took perfect care of them, sending sweet pictures of my little guys while I was gone. Charlie and Fanon were happy and relaxed when I returned home. I'm so happy to have hired her to care for them, thank you, Angelica!”


13. Marny L.
“Marny is an incredible "dog parent" replacement when I need a walk or overnight visit. She treats Blanc as if she were her own child! Always on time and follows instruction very well. She is quick to communicate and provide regular updates when I'm traveling overnight. She is VERY dependable and VERY responsible! I highly recommend Marny!”


14. Jonathan K.
“Jonathan has had dogs all his life and is one of the best dog owners I know! He has a husky and a greyhound who both need a lot of attention and he is so attentive with them and they adore him! He is trustworthy, patient, caring and I can't recommend him enough!”
