“Nicolle has cared for my cat on two occasions and has done a great job. She sends pictures and tells me about each visit. She keeps me well informed and I like that. She was very accommodating when I had to change the dates of her visits.”
“Amy is wonderful !! This was my first time using this service . My dog is a 15-year-old Chihuahua and i was very nervous that my dog would be scared, but Amy was wonderful with her. There is nothing like peace of mind while you were on a trip, knowing that your animal is being well taken care of . She also kept me updated with pictures and texts of my dog. I will absolutely be calling on Amy in the future!!”
About: As a devoted dog mom to Milo, my pup I raised and trained from puppyhood, I know exactly what dogs need to feel safe, happy, and loved. I have hands-on experience teaching dogs essential commands, including leash walking, leave it, and stay, building the good habits and confidence every dog needs. I also have real experience caring for dogs with separation anxiety, helping them feel calm, secure, and comfortable when their favorite human isn't around. Beyond my own dog, I have experience caring for and training friends' and family's adult dogs of various breeds and temperaments. I understand that every dog is different, and I take time to learn your dog's personality, routine, and preferences before every visit. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, playtime, or just calm companionship, I give every dog the same patience, consistency, and love I give Milo every single day. Pet care fits naturally and consistently into my daily routine. I am available every morning starting at 6:30 AM for early walks, drop-ins, and check-ins — perfect for pets who need care before their owners head to work. I continue availability through 4:30 PM, covering midday walks, afternoon drop-ins, and extended care throughout the day. I also offer evening availability from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM for end-of-day walks, feeding check-ins, and bedtime drop-ins. Your pet will always receive timely, reliable care on a consistent daily schedule — no last-minute scrambling or uncertainty. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I always respect your home and your pet's space. During walks, I keep your dog safely on leash at all times and wipe down their paws and bottom before re-entering your home — keeping your floors and furniture clean and fresh. For cat drop-in visits, I make sure your cat is fed according to your exact instructions, clean the litter box thoroughly including the surrounding area, and ensure the space is left tidy and exactly as I found it. I stay within the areas of your home you designate — your space and privacy are always respected. I follow your instructions carefully every single visit, and I always send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy, clean, and well cared for."
“Would definitely use Glen again! He was kind, consistent and trustworthy. Took care of our 2 seniors dogs while we were out of town. He was always on time and patient with them. Kept in touch and sent pictures daily, made us feel very comfortable while away.”
“Could not have asked for a better first time experience with Erin. Super communicative. Was willing to adjust to changing pet care instructions and visitation schedules. And reasonable value for what we needed (bearded dragon care). All in all, I would highly recommend Erin and we’ll definitely be using her services again!”

About: Hi, my name is Erin, and I have been around dogs since the day I was born. I have dog sat many different breeds for my neighbors and family friends. I worked at a dog groomer's as a bather and learned so much about taking care of dogs. The most important lesson I learned during that experience is that patience and kindness are key when interacting with a new dog. Having these two skills is especially important for taking care of senior dogs and nervous dogs. I also learned that a dog experiences the world through their nose. With that knowledge, I always make sure to include sniffing time on walks. Taking different paths and experiencing new smells keeps their mind active and makes the walk 10 times better. I use all of my knowledge to make sure that each walk is a fun and rewarding experience. I can't wait to meet your pup! For the next few months, I will be on summer break. I only work on the weekends and have always wanted to give Rover a try to meet some new furry friends and help them exercise! I will have plenty of free time during the week, but I am willing to chat to see what works best for you and your dog! I have two dogs whom I love to take on walks in my free time. I always make sure to have two hands on the leash at all times when walking both of my dogs. My older dog (110 lb) is quite reactive and could try to chase something at any moment, so I need to be prepared. My younger dog (70 lb) is very sweet and relaxed on walks and not reactive to other dogs or people; however, he is very skittish around loud noises. If he gets frightened, he may try to run and hide, so keeping two hands on the leash is crucial. I never push my puppies beyond their limit, especially if it is hot outside. Their health and safety are always a concern.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5, and i’ve watched dogs for family and friends! I’ve taken care of dogs as small as a Yorkie, to as big as a Great Dane! I currently work as a softball coach so I am typically not available on Tuesdays or Thursdays past 5pm. Additionally, I have tournaments on the weekends which make me unavailable most weekends. But this all means that I would love to work for you during the day while you’re at work or just need a break! I can watch your dog in your own home, and I am very comfortable taking dogs outside or in the back yard. I will listen to your instructions regarding food and crating, as I know every home and animal is different!
“We were nervous in the beginning because we’ve never hired anybody to watch our kitties. Heather was fantastic. She sent a text and pictures every single day with an update. We enjoyed our vacation even more knowing that the kitties were being taken care of. Thank you, Heather.”
“Sandra has walked our boys twice now and her service is top-notch. After our meet and greet in person with the pups, you could tell she takes a gentle, confident approach with all dogs. The two visits with our boys has been excellent. I would highly recommend Sandra to everyone.”
“Katelyn was AMAZING! I loved the in depth updates and cute pics she took of Sasha. I definitely had a better vacation knowing she was taking such good care of Sasha. I will definitely see if Katelyn is available for future visits! A+”
“Cam had another great set of days with Taylor. She followed all of our detailed requests for Cam's feedings and gave him some fantastic walks/playtimes so that when I arrived home from work pretty exhausted, he wasn't ready to for more. ;0 Thanks, Taylor!”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs for around 8 years. My experience includes tasks such as, walking, feeding, playing, and even administering insulin shots for various cats. Friends and family have trusted and relied on me to keep their pets safe, happy, and healthy while away. Currently I do not have any other employments, so all my time will be devoted to caring for your pets! This allows me schedule to be extremely flexible to fit your pet's needs.

Your pets would have full access to upstairs, entry, and basement levels.
Fox Valley cat parents share their Rover experiences
Jennifer has been such a great find on Rover. She was so invested in the care with my cat even before the cat sitting started, taking notes , preparing ahead of time . She has such a warm, friendly and kind approach when you meet her , even in our messages prior to the meet and greet . She sent thorough daily reports and 4-5 pictures a day which was so fun to see . I’m very confident in using Jennifer again for Rishi and feel so lucky to have found her !!
Valerie did a great job for us while we were out of town for five days. Our dog, cat, fish, and house were well taken care of. We enjoyed being notified via the app when Valerie started and ended her visits. Her added photos and videos of our animals provided us assurance all was well and were fun to see. We provided Valerie with detailed care directions for our dog, cat, fish, and house needs. It was great to see those directions being put into action via Valerie's photos and videos. Thank you, Valerie, for taking care of our pet family members and home while we were traveling. We greatly appreciate your efforts.
Sarah is absolutely the best pet sitter there is. She is reliable, very caring and extremely responsible in taking care of my cat. She goes out of her way to spend extra time with your pet, as well as taking care of the normal tasks of checking their food, water, etc. Once you have her as your pet sitter, you won't want anyone else, trust me!
Nina did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats and fish. Both of our cats are on medications with one getting daily injections, and she handled those with no issues. She also looked after my fish, in a high tech aquarium, providing daily video clips so I could monitor things while away. We definitely recommend Nina and will use her again.
Jessica was great and took good care of our 3 cats. They are very shy so starting out they were scared to come out from under the bed. But with loving care and an abundance of patience she gained their trust and got them eating and playing during her visits. We also loved the photos she sent after each visit. They were reassuring and helped us stay connected. Thank you!
Rachel has taken wonderful care of our kitten Kai. She has made sure he eats and drinks enough water. She has also played with him, sent us lovely photos and always kept us up to date with everything. We highly recommend Rachel and will definitely use her services again😊
