“Juliana boarded my cat Pistachio for a few days. Everything went great. She sent pictures throughout and drop off and pickup were quick and painless. Will definitely book her services again.”
“Kayla was awesome! She is very communicative and took care of my cat like her very own. She fed, socialized & played, and helped with the water & litter while I was away. She took lots of photos and left me lots of notes in the end so I knew exactly what she did! Thanks, Kayla! 🩷”
About: I am a future veterinarian looking to gain experience with all kinds of fur babies. I am skilled in brushing, nail trimming and administering medications to cats and dogs. I am loving to all pets (even those who don’t love me back 😆) and I am willing to have frequent communication with owners to ensure they are comfortable with leaving their baby in my care. Pet care is a daily thing for me, if I’m not looking after my own animals I am looking after loved pets at my job. Helping animals helps me, it’s something I can’t imagine NOT doing. My availability ranges as I am a college student and changes every few months as my classes change! Please just reach out and I will work with you to see if I’m the right fit for your furbaby! Thank you for being patient with a working college student I truly appreciate it. 🐾❤️ While I do not offer pet care in my own home, I am willing to accommodate any type of animal needs. I will care for them to their owners content and be sure to provide them with updates and photos. I am very open to communication and redirection, if I do something that displeases a client I would like to know immediately so we can prevent miscommunications in the future. If the clients want I am willing to meet before hand to discuss plans on caring for their animal.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a child and owned a few so nothing really intimidates me about any dog or cat. But personally, I do love cats more. They’re just much more my personality. At the moment, I honestly do not have that much time but if I do have an open day, it’ll be on the weekends and I can move things around pretty flexibly Building trust with any living thing takes time and willingness to meet bumps in the road. I’m committed to making sure your pet and your space are well respected and taken care of.
About: Old or young cat or dog animals deserve love and care and if I was leaving my dog somewhere I’d want to make sure he’s safe with someone who cares that’s me It fits in with me because I wake up with my dog everyday take care of him. He is apart of my routine. I needed two more words. My home or yours. Your animals will be cared for with a lot of attention. Also I’m not only doing it for the money I love animals and spending time with them.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was little, I’ve always had dogs of my own and used to watch others animals for friends and neighbors while they were away. I’ve always been able to create a bond with the animals I watch as I have 3 dogs of my own. Whether your dog loves high-energy fetch or cozy couch cuddles, I tailor every stay to their specific needs. I’m dedicated to keeping your animals happy and healthy while you’re away. I’m currently on summer break from college and this is my only job for the summer as of now. I have much availability throughout my day to take care of your lovely animals.

“Veerali was amazing and took wonderful care of all of our cats!!! I had to contact her last minute as we had a death in the family and had to travel out of town on short notice. She made time to do a meet and greet the same day I reached out, and was immediately great with all the cats when she met them. From bringing in packages, to cleaning up an accident, Veerali went above and beyond. Plus, she sent the funniest photos, which was a bright spot in a difficult time. 10/10 recommend, I’m already about to book more dates. Thank you!!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life. Close family friends have trusted me to watch their animals for them. I love animals so much and enjoy their time. I’m currently home from school. I have plenty of spare time on my hands. Animals are the perfect people spend my time with away from school. I have a friendly small dog named Roscoe who loves to play with other dogs. When I’m in the pets home I will cater to their needs. I love to play and I love to go on nice long walks.
About: I grew up with cats and Golden Retrievers and now have 4 Boston Terriers and 2 new kittens, who are my whole world! I am also an approved dog-walker / caregiver for Chicago Animal Care and Control, trained in their strict techniques, so I am comfortable caring for, walking, and exhausting small to large dogs. Currently working part time, so have lots of time to dedicate to your pups! I am mostly available for walks during weekdays: Mon - Fri, 9a - 5p Happy to care for your pup where they are most comfortable, in your home! Even if you have a fully fenced yard, you can trust that I'll never leave them unsupervised and unleashed, outside. If you do not have a fenced yard, we will have lots of fun getting our steps in, around the neighborhood! Comfortable getting your pup in and out of crates/kennels if needed, and getting them harnessed up for walks. Will *always* pick up any and all poop your pup leaves, whether in your yard or on our walks.
“Gia was an excellent house sitter and pet sitter. I have two older cats, and was a little nervous about leaving them for two weeks. But when I returned, my house was clean, my cats were happy and well fed, and my mail was stacked on the kitchen table. Gia contacted me several times during my vacation, and sent photographs and video of the cats at home. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have worked at animal sanctuaries around the world caring for all kinds of animals, from puppies to elephants! I’ve volunteered at animal rehabilitation centers, treating dogs, turtles, monkeys, and even lions! I have a senior dog of my own so I have some experience with caring for older dogs as well. I often sit for neighbors and friends, I’m a huge animal lover and will treat your pet with so much love and care. :) I work from home so have lots of time in my day to spend with your pup. I can complete multiple drop in’s or spend the whole day with your pet if that’s what is best for your fluffy friend! I will gather all necessary information about your pet to make sure that my care strategy is specifically tailored to the needs of your pet! I have a lot of experience with all kinds of animals and pets with varying needs.
About: I treat every pup like my own. If your dog isn't napping or resting, we'll be active and engaged. That may include playing with their favorite toy, going on a walk, or getting plenty of belly rubs and pats. I believe dogs thrive on love, attention, and activity. Therefore, I make sure they're never bored or lonely. I'm currently a student at UIC with one class online and one class in person. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me plenty time for walks, drop-ins and overnight care. Your dogs safety and comfort are my top priorities. On walks, I let your pep lead the way so they can explore at their own pace. I love finding nearby parks where they can burn energy. It I'm caring for a pet in your home, I'll always follow your instructions closely to maintain their normal routine.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for the past 12 years, helping family, friends, and neighbors with everything from daily walks and runs to overnight stays. I recently relocated from Milwaukee to Chicago and would love the opportunity to meet some new furry friends in the city! I’m excited to spend my free time caring for pets and giving them plenty of love, attention, and exercise while their owners are away. I work from home full time and am available throughout the week for daily support and overnights. Additionally, on the weekends, I am available to support as well. I have no animals currently so am available to care for your family pet at yours or mine. I am happy to do daily runs or overnights.
About: Hi! I'm Carla, your fur baby's new pet pal. I'm new to Rover, but not new to petsitting! With a lifelong love of animals, caring for pets isn't just something I do. I grew up with cats and dogs, and I believe pets are a part of the family. So, I treat them like they're part of my own, with patience, playfulness, and care. I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including puppies and kittens. I also take pride in providing dependable, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique personality. Whether you need someone to check on your furry friend or just keep your fur baby company, I'm here to provide lots of love, play, and petting. I know how important your fur baby is to you as well as how important it is to feel at ease while you're away, and I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy until you return. So, get ready to receive daily hilariously cute pet pics and return to a home just as clean and inviting! I work virtually throughout the week during the day and this allows me to spend as much time as possible with your fur baby. It also provides me with quite a bit of flexibility in my schedule and I'm off of work on Sundays too. I like to take it slow when first meeting them and I let them come to me and get my scent. I administer necessary medications if administered in food. I also make sure all doors and windows are locked so the fur babies can't accidentally open any by jumping up on it. I also take great care when arriving and leaving so that they can't run out of the door, just in case they're a little escape artist. Oh! And I will be taking daily cute pics of your pet to keep you updated and at ease knowing they're having a good time.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Highland
Ariana was absolutely amazing with our pets! From the very beginning, she was kind, reliable, and genuinely cared about making sure they were happy and well taken care of. She kept us updated, gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, and treated our pets like they were her own. When we came home, everyone was happy, healthy, and relaxed, and the house was in great condition , which says everything about the love and attention they received. I would trust her with our pets again without a second thought and will absolutely be booking her in the future. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, compassionate, communicative, and goes above and beyond, Ariana is the one. We couldn’t recommend her more highly. Thank you, Ariana, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family!
David was awesome with our pets! We have a 22 year old kitty that needed some special attention during the visits, and he took great care of her! This is our first time using this service so we were a little nervous but David's communication skills and personality on the first time meeting set those nerves a side! We will be using him in the future for sure!

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.

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.
