“We booked Michelle and Christy last minute because our usual sitter was unavailable. They were great with our cats and provided pics,videos, and notes while we were away. We would use them again if our usual sitter happens to be unavailable again.”
“Thank you Courtney for taking such good care of our kitty. Communication with you was great and we highly recommend you to anyone looking for a cat sitter. We appreciate the pics sent each day. It was very reassuring, particularly since this was the first time we used Rover. Will definitely contact you in the future if the need arises.”
“We had left our 2 cats under Kelly’s care when we went on our trip. One of them is under medication. Kelly was very regular in sending us the pics and the daily updates. It’s always nice to have the feeling that someone is there to take care of our pets with the same care we give. Kelly has been great. Even my timid cat went and mingled with her ... which is a big deal!!”
About: Dogs are my happy place! My +30 years of experience with dogs comes from different sources. I grew up with dogs and I always had at least one. I assisted in 2 occasions one of my dogs giving birth and I raised the puppies, with means I can handle puppies. I also had a blind dog so I learned how to attend dogs with special needs. I also volunteered for a dog shelter in a few occasions also I’m also the person my friends reach out when they need someone to babysit their dog. I work part time in a day care so that gives me enough time to take good care of your fur baby. I work part time in a day care and I am available Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday all day . For the rest of the days Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I am available in the morning, untill 10Am. I am available for walks and drop in visits for the moment. I’m not available for boarding or sitting as I have an elder pug and I want to respect her space and her peace.
About: I’ve always been very passionate in animals. I have taken care of animals since I was 12 years old. I started my own dog treat business when I was 13 year old. I am currently a student at Joliet Junior college. I am looking for a part time job. I will be available during the day and overnight. I have no pets. I currently live with my parents. My mom is allergic to animals so I will not be able to take them to my home.
“Julia was amazing! I needed someone sort of last minute and she was out of town but made sure to make it back and to our house for a meet and greet. She came and took care of everything, sent pics and an update which eased any worry about being gone long. Definitely will use Julia in the future!”
“Katie is wonderful! She was prompt, communicative, & sent us photos & videos of our cat everyday. Katie did drop-in visits for our cat who needs a pill each morning with breakfast. She was very reliable for keeping our house locked up while we were away. And most importantly, gave our cat lots of love while we were gone. Thanks Katie!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for 10 years, including dogs, cats, and small animals of all ages and temperaments. My experience ranges from daily walks and overnight care to administering medications and even helping with rescue animals. I’m calm, patient, and reliable—and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust, so I prioritize clear communication and consistency. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or structured care, I’ve got it covered! Let me know what makes your pet happiest, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because spending time with animals is one of the best parts of my day. I’m available weekday evenings and most weekends, with flexible timing to meet your pet’s needs. Whether it’s evening check-ins, dinner feedings, weekend walks, or overnight stays—I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space and the animal with the utmost respect. I follow your instructions closely—from feeding routines and medication schedules to favorite toys and hiding spots—so your pet’s daily rhythm stays consistent. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure before and after every visit, and I always check for any potential hazards like spilled food, open trash, or small items that could be chewed. I keep my visits calm and positive, and I communicate clearly with pet parents. My goal is to create a safe, low-stress environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for—even while you’re away.
“Lauren was wonderful! I was in a bind and needed someone last minute and she came through. My dog is very wary of strangers but warmed up to Lauren quickly. I am already booking her again and would definitely recommend.”
“Alyssa was very professional. My shy cat who comes out for no one, came to her when she was there on the first day. She always responded to me very quickly and was always very courteous. Would definitely use her again and recommend her highly.”
About: I have taken care of animals the majority of my life and they are always a part of my family! I am not sure how to function in everyday life without dogs in my house! Pet care is my top priority and treat them as if they are one of my children! I work around my kids and pets needs! I have a fenced in backyard and pets are never left outside by themselves! Dogs have the run of the house when I am home and when errands need to be done all pets are secured in their own crates.
About: We’ve always had pets growing up so caring for them is second nature to me. We currently have 2 active dogs that love to play. We also have 1 cat in the home, as well as 2 young kids. I love animals of all kinds! Your pup will be well cared for and treated as if they’re our own. I am a stay at home parent and seldom leave for more than 1-2 hours at a time. I am able to be here to give potty breaks whenever they’re needed. We have a fenced in yard with lots of room for the pups to run around and play until their heart is content. Our 2 dogs love to be outside and play with others. Your dog is sure to fit in and get plenty of time playing. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to be here with your dog. We like to spend lots of time playing in the backyard with our pups so your dog will get plenty of play time and attention from me and my family. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs to keep your fur baby happy and content. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“Georgia was wonderful with our two dogs and cat! One of the dogs and the cat are usually very skittish and hide from sitters, but they both came out to interact with Georgia, which says a lot. We received a bunch of pictures and updates. We will definitely use Georgia again!”

Delaney R.
“Delaney has watched our two dogs over the years whenever we’ve gone on vacation, and she’s truly the best - dedicated and trustworthy! Before each trip, she’d stop by to go over everything and take notes about their care, and she’d even bring them special treats. Our dogs absolutely adored her! One time that really stands out is when there was a severe storm/tornado warning in our area. We were out of state and unaware of the weather, and Delaney reached out to ask if she could sleep on our couch so our Pug puppy wouldn’t have to be alone. That kind of care and concern speaks volumes about her character and the love she has for animals. She went above and beyond, and we were so incredibly thankful! Delaney isn’t just a great pet sitter - she’s also a really kind and thoughtful person. Your pets couldn’t be in better hands!”

Carley M.
“Carley watched my English bulldog, OsKar and I could not have been more pleased with her attention to his needs and making him feel comfortable and at “home” while I was away on a work trip. When I picked up OsKar you could tell he had a blast hanging out with her two dogs both who are super friendly and got along with OsKar very well. Carley has a fenced in yard which made me feel even more at ease knowing OsKar would be safe running out in the backyard for a quick potty break. I sent OsKar with special treats and Carley had no problem giving them to him before and after going out to potty and before bed. I would ask Carley to care for my dog again and again! It is so nice to have someone close by that I can really count on and trust with my pup. Highly recommend!!”

Gilletts pet parents share their Rover experiences
Annie is an amazing sitter! She knew it was the first time we’d be leaving our fur babies home alone and she took wonderful care of our 3 cats! She met each one of their needs tending to their different personalities (one being extremely shy). Annie kept us updated with daily messages and photos and treated them like her very own. Came home to happy cats & a spotless house. Highly recommend!!
