House Sitting in Forest Park

“Lois did a great job of taking care of my dogs and house. The house was exactly as I left it, I was sent multiple updates a day on the dogs (along with photos), and they were flexible on leaving and return time.”

“So excited we came across Lauren's profile! She did an excellent caring for our two pups, one is a senior and completely blind so Lauren spent extra time caring for her special needs. Lauren was also very communicative and left the house well organized, she also did a great job letting us know what her days looked like as far as her scheduling to be hanging with the pups. We've already booked a 2nd house sit with her! Thanks again for being so detailed in your communication!”

“Ayshah is truly one of the best sitters I’ve found on rover. I believe she goes above and beyond for both you as a pet parent AND your dog. So impressive, highly highly recommend.”

“Sydney was wonderful-- sent us pictures, took great care of Mona, and was very patient with me when the instructions into our place were not the easiest. Excited to book Sydney again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for 14 years now, including my own and many friends, neighbors, and family. I work as a veterinarian. I’m willing to bathe your pets in addition to their basic needs. I know how to administer injections and other medications your pet may need. I take my currents pets out 3 times a day, and feed twice daily. I like taking them to parks once to twice a week if the owner is okay with that. I would take them out as many times as you see fit before and after class. If your pet is social they can play with my 10.5 year old and 3yr old. Both are very dog friendly and easy going. I do request them meeting outside before I bring them in. I do not believe in leaving your pets with mine while I am gone. Therefore the will be seperate when I must leave.

“Ashley stayed in our home and was great with our dog for our week away - she came by to visit before the stay, sent us a bunch of pictures an updates and we could tell he was a happy guy! Very respectful of both our home and our dog’s routines. We were thrilled that he had such a great experience and highly recommend her services. Will have her back again!”

“Dan was able to help on very short notice. My dog is older and there was not a lot required but she liked Dan and was affection with them which is not always the case.”

About: I grew up with a chocolate lab and took in two cats in high school. I’ve primarily had cats as pets recently (and have become a master at giving cats pills). I’ve dog sat and cat sat for several friends. I always have a great time watching their home while spending time with their fur babies. I work fully remote for my 9-5 as well so any home with good wifi I can be there the whole working day. I have good experience giving cats pills and liquid medicine. I work remotely so I can work from any home with good wifi. So if your pet gets lonely I can keep them company all day long. For things that require a routine or specific timing, such as medicine, I set alarms and calendar reminders. I love getting a clear list of expectations from the pet owner of how to treat their specific pet. Every pet is unique and I want to make sure I’m caring for your pet in the way best for them! I’ve watched cats that needed three pills in the morning and one at night. I’ve watched dogs with special dietary restrictions where I had to tear up boiled chicken for them. I’ve also watched kitties that just want cuddles all day long and dogs who want to play fetch all day long. I always try to accommodate best I can!

“Kaylah was absolutely amazing with our dog, Shadow! From the moment we connected, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. She followed all of our instructions carefully and made sure Shadow’s routine stayed consistent, which was incredibly important to us. Throughout the stay, Kaylah provided updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Shadow was comfortable, happy, and receiving lots of attention and care. Knowing he was in such capable hands allowed us to fully enjoy our time away without worrying. We are so grateful for the love and attention Kaylah gave Shadow and would not hesitate to book with her again. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly great with dogs, we highly recommend Kaylah!”

“Brittany was absolutely amazing and took great care of our dog Ranger while we were out of town. The house was immaculate when we returned including the sheets washed which was so appreciated! Ranger got lots of love and we got updates from Brittany throughout. We will absolutely work with Brittany again!”

“Awesome house & pet sitter! Cayla took great care of our elderly springer spaniel Jack including daily walks and medication. Thanks Cayla!!”

About: I am a wildlife biologist for the Georgia DNR working for the Urban Wildlife Program. I have years of experience dog-sitting, primarily for large- and medium-sized dogs in the Chicago area. My work schedule is very flexible, allowing me to take my time to care for your critters! A large part of my job is responding to wildlife emergencies using years of experience and best-judgment decision making, which makes for a great pet-sitter. I am a wildlife biologist that works from home in Decatur. My workload is quite low so it is easy to fit pet care into my schedule throughout the week. My flexible schedule affords me ample time to provide proper attention to animals. I have a calm demeanor with strong attention to detail when it comes to care instruction. My experience as a wildlife biologist has trained me how to monitor animals for emergencies and how to be calm in the face of the unknown or unexpected. I am used to following strict research protocol, so following along for the care of your animal will be a breeze.

“Ashley was a wonderful companion to our dog, Delia, and our seven hens! She also provided comfort to us with updates that included photos of their adventures. It gave us so much peace of mind to know Ashley was keeping our anxious pup company in our home.”

“I felt very comfortable leaving my kitty in Tabitha’s while I was away. She was great with my cat, and I hope she’s available next time I need a sitter?”

Isabel L.

“Jasmine has taken care of our animals several times and has done a great job each time. I like having consistency when it comes to our animals caregiver and Jasmine is who we use exclusively.”

Nathan D.

“Sean was very communicative and left our house super clean! He took such good care of our senior dog and also checked in our chickens every day. I would definitely recommend Sean to anyone who needs someone they trust to take care of their animals and home!”

About: Hi, I’m Saniya, an animal enthusiast and college student at Howard University. I’m very easy going and believe I can read animals pretty well, so I think I can help satisfy you and your pet. I’ve been drawn to animals since l was a small age and would love any opportunity to spend time with any since I don’t have a pet currently. If your dog needs walking that’s an huge plus because I’ve been meaning to workout anyway lol. UPDATE: It’s winter break so my availability is very open! I’d just like to know the routine you have with your pet so they’re happy. I won't be able to bring your babies into my home, but when visiting your homes I will have the upmost respect to you and your home of course. I am mobile and can drive around your pets if needed.

“Deondre was a great dogsitter! I started a new job and needed to book last minute and he was so accommodating. I have a large pitbull with separation anxiety that doesn't get along with other animals and Deondre did great with him! Communication was great, he let me know when he took the dog on a walk and how things were going. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!!”

“Kamara was great! She is so nice and friendly. She was respectful of our home and took great care of our pup. She took him out, fed him, played with him, and sent the cutest picture updates. We will definitely rebook her in the future!”

“Lanae was beyond kind to our two mini dachshunds. They have anxiety and are less than a year old, so they can be a hand full. She also stayed at our house and left everything as is. She was communicative and sent pictures often. Our two little dogs were sad to see her go. 💜 There was a small billing issue with Rover and she was quick to call and work it out. I’d 100% recommend Lanae. I could not say enough good things about her!”
