“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”


“Allison was amazing with our pittie mix rescue who was a stray for 2 years and can be anxious and skittish. She immediately loved Allison (more so than she even loves us, I was joking with my husband) and even went to sleep while Allison was watching her which is unheard of for our dog. Highly recommend, Allison is truly a dog whisperer!”


“Garrett was absolutely amazing! There is nothing better then having my furry babies at home and being so well taken care of! It has taken me a long time to replace my past dog sitter, but I have finally found someone just as picky as me! Garrett can put you in touch with me if you want more information!”


“Zana was wonderful. She communicated with me throughout with ease. She sent photos and was an excellent sitter with my pup and kitties. Highly recommend.”


“Amanda was awesome! She took great care of my senior dogs and left my home cleaner than it was when I left for vacation. Amanda communicated with me during my trip to let me know the pups were ok and even picked up a few toys for my sweet boy. Will definitely work with Amanda again!”


“We were away for 6 days. Mina stayed at our house with Bronc. She visited ahead of time to get the "lay of the land" and instructions. Bronc is a 4 1/2 yr old, active CBR. Mina did GREAT. She sent a couple phots every day. Bronc was happy to see us when we came home but not shot out of a cannon. He was calm. That says it all for an active CBR!”


“We booked Katie to stay with our girl for our 9 day vacation June 18th. She was great, gave us updates everyday with pictures. She responses very quickly . She made us feel very comfortable being away. I would highly recommend her. Katie is the best!”


About: While I’m newer to professional pet care (3 years), I’ve spent lots of time walking and caring for dogs for friends and family. I’m dependable, gentle, and always make sure pets feel safe and happy. I’m especially good with routines and following care instructions closely, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime. I may be newer, but I’m passionate about animals and committed to giving every dog the attention and love they deserve. As a part-time worker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to have consisted time frames to dedicate to pet care. I enjoy spending time with animals, and taking care of pets fits naturally into my routine—it’s something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it’s a walk before work or a check-in visit after, I always make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routines closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they have fresh water, meals on time, regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I also keep the space tidy and provide updates to the owner for peace of mind, when needed. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a safe, cozy environment and stick to their usual schedule as much as possible. Whether in their home or mine, I treat every pet with the same love and attention I would give my own.

“Leslie was such a fabulous find via Rover. We reached out with a last minute request and Leslie went above and beyond to accommodate our last minute schedule request AND to provide for our kitties. One of our kitties is very sensitive, has a difficult time warming up to new comers, and is notoriously difficult while taking her pill. Leslie followed instructions to the “T” and was committed to the care of our kitties. Leslie was wonderful and we will certainly be booking with her again in future and couldn’t give her a better review or higher recommendation!!”


About: I have 1 dog and four cats, a few years of pet sitting experience, and even worked as a kennel tech at a dog kennel before. I’m currently in the process of finding a part-time or full-time job since I’m taking a break from college, but pet sitting on the side would give me a good opportunity to not only earn money but to give me a purpose and do something I’ve always loved to do: caring for and helping animals (and helping their owners out too!) Like I mentioned, I have several pets at home so I can easily do things like taking dogs outside to go to the bathroom and on walks, feeding them, clean up after them (I especially clean litter boxes a lot), and I can even stay with them as long as they need if they don’t do well being alone for long periods of time.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats before. I also have plenty experience taking care of bigger animals as I used to be a working student at the barn I boarded my horses at from when I was 10-15. I’ve been trusted by many friends and family to take care of their furry friends including but not limited to horses, bunnies, fish, dogs, and cats. I have experience with grooming dogs as well due to having a golden doodle of my own. If you have any more questions feel free to ask! I currently work a Part-time job that schedules me 2-3 times a week so I have a lot of availability to make house visits or spend the day as much as you would need me to! I also love to go on walks and take hikes so if I am looking after an Active dog it is no problem! If your dog likes to play with other dogs I have a fenced in yard and two other dogs of mine who are very friendly. I am very neat and organized so the chance of your animal eating something or getting into something they’re not supposed to is very slim.

About: Since the age of 16 I have happily taken care of cats, dogs, bunnies, and other creatures for neighbors and friends. My natural ability to connect with animals coupled with my meticulous care and attention to their specific feeding, walking, and medicine schedules make me a great animal caretaker. I am currently only working part time, so I am available to walk and pet sit on both weekdays and weekends from morning until evening. My work shifts are only in the afternoons twice a week. I am a responsible guest who is willing to accommodate clients’ specific wants and needs im regards to pet sitting, whether it be for quick dog walks or longer stays. If your pet needs to be crated while alone, I am more than happy to accommodate. If they are not allowed in certain rooms or on certain pieces of furniture, I will make note of that. If they are allowed to roam wherever, I am also happy to allow that! Additional, I respect guests’ privacy and treat their homes with the utmost care and respect while pet sitting.

“Connor took the BEST care of Rio and Kiwi! Kiwi is a special needs dog and therefore requires some specific care. Connor exceeded our expectations, stuck to their schedule and meet all their needs. We are so grateful. The house was also in good order and as clean as the way we left it. Thank you Connor for taking such good care of our girls!”

“I can’t recommend Alicia enough—she’s an amazing dog sitter! From the moment she met my puppy, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands animals. She’s reliable, attentive, and goes above and beyond to make sure my dog feels safe, happy, and entertained. The only downside? I’m beginning to think my dog likes Alicia more than he likes me! If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Alicia is the one!”

Glencoe pet parents share their Rover experiences
Aleia stayed with our two pups for 13 days. She was truly the best! Our dogs loved her and she cared for them so very well while we were away. Aleia gave us daily updates and pictures and we even FaceTimed once lol. She cared for our home too. Watering plants and taking care of minor pool maintenance. The house was spotless when we got home from our vacation and dogs were healthy and happy. We appreciate all she did to assure us and the dogs they would be loved while we were away. Thanks again!

Aleia was a terrific sitter for our two older dogs. She was communicative, responsive, proactively helpful, and I never worried about the dogs while we were away as a result. She also fed our hamster, brought in the mail and kept all my plants alive. Yay! My whole family enjoyed seeing the daily pictures she sent of the pups - it was clear that they were happy and comfortable with Aleia. I would definitely hire Aleia again to watch the pups and I do recommend her as an excellent dog sitter.
