“Amy did a great job checking on our two cats while we were out of town. She was very attentive to the cats needs and we could tell they got lots of affection and play time during Amy’s visits. We highly recommend and plan to book with Amy in the future.”
About: I’m a passionate, reliable pet caregiver with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I grew up surrounded by pets and have turned that lifelong love into a career, working with pet families, in pet retail at stores. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm, patient companion, I’ll provide attentive, loving care and treat them like part of my own family. I have a lot of spare time on my hands so I could use that time to care for your pet! I am your pet Nannie around the corner. I have experience dog walking, so I understand how it goes. I also have lots of experience playing with pets. I have a huge passion for pets
About: Ever since I was a child, I have had a passion for dogs and animals of all sorts. Growing up in the Philippines, my relatives found it strange to have such compassion for animals. I'd always begged my parents for a dog while doing avid research and volunteering at pet-related jobs to prepare myself if my dream was to come true. When I was 17, my parents finally agreed to get a dog-- but not just any dog. I wanted my dream dog: an Alaskan Malamute. Huge, stubborn, and a daily shedder, it was a huge challenge I took on myself. However, this Malamute was well trained, house-broken, and friendly. I believe I can take care of a dog of any size, temperament, or history. I am a graduate from the University of Illinois in Chicago with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology/Sociology. I volunteered at the Chicago Canine Rescue downtown where we play and walk with shelter dogs. I have copious experience with boarding, walking, and overall loving dogs. As a past dog boarder, I understand the care and attention that must be given to a pup to create a trusting bond with them. For more pictures of our past clients and to get a better idea how I interact with your pup, check out this instagram: powerpuffdogs May have to step out a few times a day, or if I have an outing I would make sure your pup has had plenty of exercise and pets before leaving. I adhere as closely as possible to the pet’s existing schedule— routine is key! Other than that, if you are comfortable with it, I can take your dog on forest walks, dog parks (only if you’d like, and with ample supervision), or on play dates with my own well-socialized dogs!
“Mia was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter! From the very first visit, it was clear she genuinely cares about animals — my cat warmed up to her quickly and was clearly comfortable in her care. Mia was reliable and punctual every single visit, and she kept me updated regularly with photos and notes, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She went above and beyond with little extra touches that showed real attentiveness. I'd recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring cat sitter.”
“Agnieszka took great care of my cat in her home while I had to work and maintenance was in my apartment. She kept me up to date and asked questions about the health of my cat, which made me feel like she truly cared about him.”
“Emily was amazing, and if I could, I would give her 10 stars! She met me a head of our visit, which made me very comfortable with her. I also got to see how my cat would react to her, which was good to know in advance. My cat loved Emily! She took care of my cat for six days. Every day there was communication and several photos. I had a very good idea of what was going on in my home, even though I was very far away from it. And I could tell that my cat was having a fantastic time with her. She also made sure everything was tidy and clean for when I got home. I was thrilled with Emily as my sitter, and I would absolutely rebook with her in a heartbeat. I highly recommend her for your pets! A++”
About: I have had cats, dogs, and fish for the past 15 years. I have boarded, walked, and sat many animals including the ones listed above. I have also done feedings and administering medications. I always like to get detailed notes and a walk through of the care you need so the pets are well taken care of throughout my time with them. I am currently open to any times and days. I am in school and am doing it completely online and asynchronous. I can work with you separately to figure out the best schedule. I am always wanting a walk through and detailed sheet of paper describing schedules and everything I need to know. I will also send frequent updates including pictures. I have administered medications before and ask to be shown how to administer so they don’t miss a day.
“Arianna did great with Porkchop! She was punctual to his feeding times and he looked happy and healthy when we returned. We will keep her in mind for future bookings!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life. I just want them to feel loved and cared for. If I could save all of them in this world, I would. I’ve taken care of nine cats at my mom’s house growing up my entire life. Had three pitbulls in the past, i love all the cuddles! I have experience in a variety of settings for pet care. From homing, rehoming, fostering to babysitting. I also work from home so your baby will be provided for.
About: I have experience doing in-home dog sitting, including administering supplements and medication (mixed in with food/pill pockets), feeding specialty diets, and playing with them. I recently moved to Chicago and am currently looking for employment. I love (and have always loved) animals, I have experience caring for and playing with them, and I would like to be able to meet many more! I am available for sitting 7 days a week, primarily between the hours of 12:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.; this does vary depending on the day of the week, however, and I am also willing to negotiate times outside of these hours. I will listen to what you tell me about your pet, and respond to your pet's reaction(s) to me accordingly. I will give them attention and pets and scritches if that is what is wanted; I will be unobtrusive and give them all the space they need, if that is what is wanted. I fall in love with every dog and every cat that I meet, and I would be honored to be able to care for your furbaby. Regarding your home, I will respect your space and the rules that you set. I will remove my shoes if that is what is asked of me; I will clean up after your pet and myself (i.e., throwing away/recycling any food cans, etc.); I will only enter the rooms that you permit me to, and I will not look at, let alone touch, anything other than what is required for me to care for your pet.
About: I live near a walking trail for those that like a nice stroll, or for those that don’t I also have a few comfy couches to relax on. As a foster pet parent, I’m familiar with providing medications if needed. I typically work from home and am able to care for your pet while you’re away. My cats are friendly and use to foster cats so they’ll either play with your cat our leave them be. No matter what, your cat will not be alone. My home has multiple floors with large litter boxes on each floor, there is plenty of space and lots to explore. We have different dietary needs for our cats so I can definitely accommodate any specific dietary needs.
About: Since I was a teen, I've always been the go-to person asked to pet sit for people when they went on vacation. I've done it for 10+ years. I recently graduated from law school in May, and I am currently studying for the BAR. I would love to make some money on the side, caring for your special guys and girls! Currently, I have full availability because my sole focus is studying for the BAR. So I can make myself available at any time day or night! I love animals, and I recognize how much they crave attention, especially when they're missing their owner. I would love to provide that necessary attention in your absence. I will make sure that your place is the same as it was when I got there. With a fresh litter box cleaning for cats.
“Nicole is a kind and lovely person. She was able to come early in the morning as requested. She was a thorough communicator and she even cleaned up a couple of messes! She was meeting my cats for the first time and tried hard to connect. I will definitely use her services again.”
“My cat received caring and helpful attention from Kara, the cat sitter. Especially when, as she is so friendly, kitty Francine did let her approach! It's the first time ever in this former hoarding victim's life, a stranger was allowed to see, and photograph, Francine! Thank you so much Kara!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Glenview
Jiayi was terrific! She kept Me updated with excellent photos of the cats and chores completed, feeding, litter, taking in mail. She was very thorough with daily communication. The Cats are happy and calm and the house is as I left it. I would definitely use her again!
Rosy was great! Both of my cats need pills and one is particularly adept at hiding in general, so we were worried about how he would react. She tried various strategies to get a pill in him, and even though it was unsuccessful in the end, I really appreciated her tenacity. She sent pictures and very reassuring updates after each visit.
Tiffany checked in on my cat, Tofu, while I was gone on a week long trip. She was very communicative and sent lots of cute pics. She brought an issue with our automatic feeder to our attention and went above and beyond to help us trouble shoot the issue. Tofu loved Tiffany and we will be booking her again in the future
Helen was awesome! Our cat is very anxious and requires a transdermal medicine and Helen was able to handle our cat really well. She was able to give proactive updates about her. She was thorough in understanding our cat's needs. We will be booking with her again for sure!

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
