“Dana went above and beyond for our kitties! One of ours is medically needy, plus needed a last minute vet visit. She remained flexible and communicated promptly and made it all so much less stressful for us. She certainly loved on both of the kitties while she did her drop-ins, and we’d use her again!”
“Amberley was a wonderful sitter. She is reliable, communicative, responds quickly and went above and beyond to take care of our cat. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Leila was a big help. I booked her for last minute for multiple hours, and she didn’t bat an eye. She just asked where, when and what do you need from me? (In a good way). She completely exceeded expectations and I hope she is available to watch him again in the future!”
“Carly: What can we say. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Three days of check ins,with our fur baby, and she was wonderful, well fed, and sassy as ever. You put in the extra effort and searched her out, and I know how hard it is to find a kitten. You found her and sent us pictures every day. You made us feel so much better, having to leave her for the first time. Thanks for bringing in our mail and even the package, you even fixed Maggie's swing. Truly the best ever!”
About: I have over four years of experience caring for dogs of neighbors, family, and other families in my town including walking, feeding, and providing companionship. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs and routines, and I take pride in being dependable, communicative, and gentle with every animal in my care. I have a genuine love for animals and enjoy caring for them! I’m currently a student at the University of Illinois with a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care and I am home in Glen Ellyn for summers to do the same. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays at your home. I prioritize consistency and stick to the routine you have for your pet! I prioritize safety, trust, and respect when caring for pets in their own homes. During drop-in visits and walks, I follow all instructions closely, keep pets secure on a leash, and ensure doors and gates are properly locked. I treat every home with respect and provide attentive, reliable care so pets feel comfortable and safe.
About: I can do general grooming including nail/claw trims. I also can give medication if needed, I enjoy going outside on walks and also playing with any type of animal I go to college currently and have an occasional job working for a delivery company but animals are my passion so I look forward to working with them I do not offer services in my home so I do not have any safety equipment at my residence. But I do make sure to always stick to instructions given to me word for word
“Rachel is amazing! We have two geriatric cats with pretty specific needs; she went above and beyond to get to know them and learn how to care for them, including mastering administering an insulin injection. She was very communicative and kind, and it was a relief to know our kitties were in such great hands while we traveled.”
“Loved working with Ashley. She watched my dogs at my home while I was away. She sent us daily updates and made us feel at ease. We would hire Ashley again. She was great. Totally recommend Ashley ! :)”
“Britt was awesome and took great care of the dogs during her time there. It was a short notice for this booking and knowing the dogs were well taken care of while I was gone allowed me to have a great time away, all thanks to Britt. I was provided with updates during every visit and cannot say enough good things about her! Will 100% be booking with her for all my dog sitting needs”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy taking care of and spending time with them. I have experience caring for older dogs who may need extra attention, assistance, or medication. I also have extensive experience with energetic dogs, so I understand the importance of exercise, consistency, and routine in keeping them happy and healthy. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I am able to fit pet care easily into my daily and weekly routine. I have time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I am organized and dependable, so I can consistently follow routines, medication schedules, and specific care instructions to make sure pets stay comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether I am in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, bathroom breaks, and any medications or special instructions. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while also respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintaining a clean, calm space. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they are away. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for.
“Rachel took amazing care of our cat for 19 days, and we couldn’t be happier with her service! She was punctual every day, spent quality time with our cat, and made sure he felt safe and comfortable. Our cat is usually very shy, but he warmed up to her within just a couple of days, which speaks volumes about her patience and kindness. She played with him daily, ensured he was well-fed, and kept his litter box clean. We also really appreciated the daily notes and pictures she sent through Rover, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Rachel is a fantastic pet sitter, and we would absolutely work with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Melissa is wonderful! She’s so good with our dogs and is very conscientious. One of our dogs takes a while to warm up to new people, but Melissa helped her feel more comfortable with her. I would highly recommend Melissa!”
“Kelly was very communicative and took care of my cat, Luna, very well! I felt at ease once I met Kelly, because I knew she would take care of my cat the way she would take of hers. She also took the cutest pictures every time she watched Luna!”

Victoria was awesome with our 2 cats! She took great care of them and followed our directions precisely. She even helped problem-solve an issue with the automatic feeder to ensure they would be okay after she left. My shy cat seemed very comfortable with her. I would absolutely book with her again. Thanks so much for taking such great care of them!
I am so grateful that Kristen was able to care for my cat Sylvester last minute. She took great care of him and he looked very happy and comfortable with her in the pictures. Kirsten has great communication and I felt comfortable and safe having her in my home. I recommend her and would book with her again!
Edgar and his kids did such a great job taking care of my cat Jake that even though he’s so shy with people he started to feel comfortable and safe with them within a few days. He always had plenty of food and water and Edgar was communicative and sent pictures everyday and text messages everyday. I highly recommend him and his kids. Thank you for taking care of my baby so well!
Alex took wonderful care of our two cats while we were on a two week trip. She dropped in once a day and even volunteered to check in a few extra times to put medicine on our cat that had a skin sore. Alex is great at communicating and sent lots of pictures. I would highly recommend Alex. She does an excellent job!
