“Kelly did a great job with our senior cat who has special food and insulin needs. She is super responsive and reliable! I will definitely book Kelly again next time we travel.”
“Brandi was amazing with my two cats!! She is so professional and caring. Very detail oriented. She sends pics and updates with every drop in!!! Using her again next week for a few days over the holiday. She is a super star! I didn't worry one bit with her watching them. She made my vacation worry free so we could relax and enjoy time away. Five star and can’t say enough about her. If you want someone who really cares and will take great care of your pets, schedule with Brandi.”
“Keri and her daughter were very friendly and helpful with taking care of our cat for a week. The pictures were great to see and she was responsive in answering questions. We appreciated them and their service!”
About: Can help take care of big dogs, and can play with dogs all day. Cats I can give them their space or play with them as needed. Rover is a summer side job for me to fund my college and stay active. And I love playing and being with dogs and cats. When it comes to walking or at home care, I have the experience and care to work out all sorts of trouble or problems with dogs and cats.
“Nicole was available on a days notice and despite being anxious about the drop ins because she and my dog had never met, she kept me informed during drop ins which helped ease my anxiety. Definitely plan to use her in the future.”
“Valerie was very sweet to my fur babies. She went the extra mile and took wonderful care of them while I was on vacation. I am a rover sitter as well and I would highly recommend her. Thanks Valerie!”

“Jill is absolutely fantastic!! She loves animals and taking care of your fur babies while you’re away. She is super communicative and thoughtful. I knew our kitties were in great hands with her!”
About: I have had my own pets since I was a young child. I have taken care of many of my friends, family, neighbors, and church members pets over the years. I love dogs and kitties and believe they deserve to be well taken care of. They depend on us to be good to them and are at our mercy. If they are mistreated they can't say anything. This makes it that much more important to be good to our pets. I am not currently working so I have a lot of free time. I have 6 grown children who are on thier own. Two in college, the rest with their own families. I have one friendly lab mix who loves playmates. A fenced in yard, doggie door, and all hardwood floors so accidents are not tragic! I am within walking distance of our city bike/walking trail for long doggie walks.
“Ali takes great care of our cats while we are away. She gives a detailed report on each visit, and she sends along excellent photos of each cat. I know the cats are always happy to see her. Ali is exceptionally good with the cats and extremely reliable.”
About: I have cats and dogs my entire life and have multiple in my own home. They’re safe with me :) I promise to update you as needed. I am a 5th grade teacher and currently on summer break! I do work part time in the evenings and some mornings on the weekends. Let me get in some exercise in with your pups! I promise to love your babies as my own! I will respect your home/your pet as I would like my own respected. I am trustworthy and will provide the best care I possibly can!
About: I have experience in veterinary clinics, so I know how to handle anxious pets. My time in vet clinics and animal shelters allow me to navigate pets that I am meeting for the first time. I am a pre veterinary student at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, so I spend a lot of time studying and attending classes. Pet care gives me a short and enjoyable break. I am very good at forming bonds with animals. I pay great attention to the body language of pets and respect the feelings they express.
“Joy did a fantastic job taking care of our cats. She kept us updated about anything and everything. All of our cats enjoyed having g her around and would certainly have her watch them again.”
“This was Jenee’s first time sitting for us and everything went great! She gave us super daily updates on each of our kitty boys and even cleaned up a plant they knocked over. We really appreciated her help and professionalism with our little guys and will be happy to ask her to cat-sit again.”
About: As a lifelong dog owner and current dog mom myself, I love all pups! I'm an early childhood special ed teacher who's looking to love on some fur babies this summer. Whether your dog needs a serious power walk or a chill potty break and snuggles, I've got them covered! I'm comfortable with basic command reinforcement, can stick to mealtime routines or a quick brush-out if needed! I'm happy to treat them as my own! :) I have not had cats before but am happy to feed or give your kitties some love as well! I'm a special education teacher on summer break which means my availability is flexible! I will be off of work beginning May 26th. I do have my own pup at home so I prefer to do check ins and walks as needed! Because I like to stay active with my own family, friends and pup during the break, I do require at least 48 hours of notice for bookings. I am generally available between 8am to 8pm. Since I have my own pup, I'm only doing house calls! Your dog will get my full attention in the comfort of their own neighborhood. I will make sure to check pavements before a walk and make sure collars/harnesses are firmly attached before we head out. You'll get plenty of photo updates!
“If you're seeking a respectful, trustworthy, responsive, caring, and compassionate pet sitter, look no further! Tiffany did an excellent job caring for my two labs over the holidays. She's earned my business from here on out! Thank you so much, Tiffany!!”
