Pet Sitting Greater South Side

“This was our first time using Rover and Allison went above and beyond taking care of our two cats while we were out of town!! She sent us pictures and kept us updated every day. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”

About: Hello, my name is Tara! I specialize in moderate to high intensity walks if your pet likes extra activity, but we can also kick our feet up & people watch out the window! I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, where I developed a lifelong love and respect for them. Since I don’t have pets of my own right now, getting the opportunity to love and care for other people’s pets truly fills my cup. Feel free to message me or shoot me any questions! I work full time, so I can offer the following: Drop Ins 2x/day (over lunch or after 4pm) Walks 1x/day (after 4pm on weekdays & anytime on a weekend day) Whether your pet needs a long walk, medication, playtime, or simply some company while you’re away, I will treat them like they are my own while keeping their unique routine and comfort a priority. I have experience with pets who are anxious, shy, or need a little extra patience when meeting someone new.

“Daniel was our first Rover sitter and was the only person I contacted who met my standards. He is excellent at responding to my messages quickly and is very patient with all of my instructions. I asked Daniel to use my puppy's training commands and he did as asked. He gave her positive reinforcements throughout their visit. He sent many photos of our active, happy pup. I fully trust him being in our home unattended. Daniel was on time for our Meet & Greet appointment and our puppy's first home visit, which sadly other people do not to seem to think is important. I appreciate his professionalism as he understands THIS IS A JOB, not something to fit in his day if/when it is convenient for him, as other potential sitters represented. Thank you so much Daniel.”

“Absolutely amazing! This was my first time trying Rover and I look forward to using it again! Christina was amazing and responded quickly to my very short notice request. She was loving and caring to my 2 cats and my crazy high energy German Shepard. 10/10 would book with her again and will recommend to any fur parents I know in the future!”

“Kelsey visited my two kitties while I was away one weekend. She followed all the instructions and communicated really well with me before and during her visits. Loui and Lola seemed to warm up to her quickly. Reliable and trustworthy. Will definitely book Kelsey again!”

“Thank you so much Kaylee! Forgot to tell you I left some lights on and the TV. Hope everything was situated enough for you! Will reach out again sometime”

Brady S.

“Our pup LOVES Kassy! She has been amazing with her even as she goes through her teething phase, follows our routine and shows up on time. Our cat also loves Kassy which is big bonus points because he doesn’t like anyone but us!”

“Cory has helped me out a couple times before and I'll continue to use him in the future. He is professional, timely, and communicates very well. Thank you!”

David L.

“Our kitties loved Tim, and they were very happy and calm when we returned home. He provided lots of play time for the younger cats, and lots of photos while we were away. I think they were disappointed it wasn't Tim when we walked in the door!”

“Kayla was great! She was friendly and immediately loved on our cat during our initial meet and greet! She was prompt with her drop ins and kept us well informed while we were away! Her report cards were fun to read and she always included great pics to let us know the cat was well taken care of!”

“Rachael was wonderful with our dog from the moment they first met. I was having surgery out of town and any concerns faded when I saw how good Rachael was with her right off the bat! One less thing to worry about during my hospital stay. She included adorable photos and details of each visit. In our initial visit with Rachel, it was evident her knowledge, passion and caring for dogs, and I had no doubt our dog would be in great hands. Thank you, Rachael!”

Shirley S.

“Molly was amazing with our two cats. She followed everything I outlined perfectly and was super attentive. Her updates helped us feel at ease while we were out of the country. I knew we left our cats in good hands. I highly recommend letting Molly look after your animals!”

Spencer E.

“Everything in order.”

Holly K.

“Troy has been nothing but amazing, not only with our dog but with everything he does! Our pup is a bit people selective and moose was comfortable in no time due to Troy being patient and knowledgeable about how to handle a more reactive dog. My husband and I would 100% recommend him to take care of your furry friend too! He is always on time and makes sure he leaves the house cleaner then when he got there!”

Julia A.

“Excellent service! I came back home to a happy and energetic dog. I would recommend to anyone interested in quality service for their companion.”

“William is a wonderful and very friendly pet sitter. He came to visit prior to the job and do a meet and greet. I was impressed with all his zoo background work and you can tell he loves animals. My cats were happy and he sent me a picture to update how they were doing. He followed instructions, and was prompt. I will be using his services again for sure. Highly recommend.”

“Kayla was incredibly responsive and responsible. She did a wonderful job walking our dog throughout the week and was able to add drop-in visits at the last minute. We will definitely use Kayla again!”
