“Emilie was very thorough and responsive. My apartment was in great shape when I came home, and also when I came home, my cat acted like I had just come back from a trip to the store, which is a sign to me that she did not miss me much at all!”

“I'm delighted to share that Katherine provided outstanding care for our whippet, Finn. Her commitment was evident as she went above and beyond, even staying overtime to ensure Finn's well-being until we returned. We greatly appreciate her dedication and highly recommend her as a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

“Avery took wonderful care of our sweet but complicated retriever. She easily managed his medications and tricky behavioral issues. Avery was responsible, highly communicative and attentive. Will for sure work with her again.”

“Kim was such a great sitter for my 18 month old rowdy mixed terrier pup! She was kind, punctual, professional, sent me lots of detailed updates and pics. I felt totally relaxed leaving my guy in her care while I had to be away for the weekend. Will book again. Thanks Kim!”

“Brooke was incredible. We have three dogs all with unique needs and quirks and Brooke made them feel safe and comforted. She sent awesome photos the whole trip and communicated clearly and so fast, which was much appreciated! Already planning my next booking with Brooke and highly recommend to any pet owner looking for a trustworthy, true animal lover as their sitter!”


“Kimberly took awesome care of our senior pittie! She sent us multiple pictures/updates every day. We felt totally at ease knowing that she was with our pittie. Kimberly also took very good care of our house. She washed linens and made sure everything was tidied up before we returned. We are so thrilled to have found Kimberly. We highly recommend her!”

“Kelsey was a caring, responsive, and capable sitter! Our cat is a tad old but Kelsey was great with giving him meds and all the love he needed (or demanded lol). She made our time away worry-free. Absolutely recommend her services!”

“Matthew was so amazing and sweet with Hammer and Violet! He sent daily photos and updates while we were away. We felt extremely comfortable having him in our home and he took excellent care of our pups. Thank you Matt!”
“Wendy did such an amazing job looking after our two pups while my wife and I were out of town for a week. Wendy consistently above and beyond our expectations. She was extremely communicative, sent us tons of adorable pics, and was very considerate, leaving our home spotless. We could tell that the dogs were in great hands and having a good time. It was so much easier to enjoy our trip knowing our pups were safe and stress free. We will definitely reach out to Wendy again the next time we leave town.”

“Gabriana was so sweet and thoughtful with our anxious pup! She was punctual and very communicative. Looking forward to having her take care of our pup again.”

“I was totally stressed out about leaving my two senior cats while I took an extended trip, but Sarah and David were great and I was able to relax and enjoy knowing my girls were in good hands. I also loved getting the daily pictures.”
“Sorta want to keep Naomi all to ourselves, but she deserves the praise and then some! Naomi watched our beautiful epileptic pup Clementine while we were away for almost two weeks. While we were away she not only dealt with one of Clementine's seizures like a pro, but also dealt with our gas going out, various workers doing construction as well as our gardeners and cleaners. In every occasion she dealt with everything perfectly; reaching out when she needed to, but largely dealing with all the small issues without disturbing our vacation. She also takes amazing photos and was even nice enough to buy Clemmy little booties so she wouldn't slip on the stairs. It's so nice to be able to go away and actually relax knowing that both our dog and our home are in good hands. She's definitely part of the family now.”

About: If you’re looking for someone who absolutely adores animals AND is responsible/ reliable then I am your gal! I have a profound love and respect for any animal and would love to share my services/experience with you! I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was in diapers and have developed such a deep respect and love for any pet I’ve come across. I’ve had cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, fish, you name it! I’ve raised the majority of them from their baby stage such as their puppy/kitten stage. I also have had the pleasure of giving them a beautiful life and led them into their senior stage. I also volunteer at cat shelters and have pet sat for friends and family members. I make it a priority to provide a safe and welcoming environment so any pet under my care can feel comfortable with me. I also love to play for whatever time your pet needs and give joy to every pet under my care. My past clients would describe me as very reliable, patient, warm, and very flexible and understanding of certain needs your pet may have. I understand every furry friend is unique and different from one another so any accommodation or request you may have, I am more than open to adjusting! I currently have three of my own. I have a husky, shih tzu and a Siamese cat! So I have a very broad experience with different sized pets and I’ve enjoyed every second of it. I have a very open and flexible schedule and I would love to provide my services to you! As I work with the local district, I have returned back to work for the fall semester. However, my work day ends at 3pm! So it still allows me to have a very open/flexible schedule. I can do weekdays after 3pm and weekends including holidays! I’m available from early noon to late at night. Weekends include anytime after 6pm. I have a gated porch with lots of room for play and a quiet calm neighborhood for long walks and quality time with your pet. I can also administer medication and crate or provide any instructions left by the owner.
“Amanda was wonderful! She stayed with our cat Seth and took great care of him and the house. We were a bit nervous since it was our first time leaving him since adopting him, but she went out of her way to send photos while we were gone and Seth clearly loved her. The house was spotless when we returned. Trust Amanda with your home & pets!”

“Limari was awesome! She took great care of our little chihuahua Frankie for 4 nights while we were out of town. We received tons of photos and daily updates! she was very responsible and professional. Will definitely be using her again !”

“Denise was amazing! She sent frequent pictures, took awesome care of our senior dog Murphy, and left the house tidied up and in excellent shape when we returned. We are looking forward to Denise watching Murph again soon! Thank you again for taking such amazing care of Murphy, Denise!”

“William took great care of Juneau overnight. He paid close attention to our instructions regarding her care while keeping us updated while we were gone. I’ll definitely be booking William again!”
“Danielle was wonderful with our senior boy while we were out of town for a few days. She sent daily updates with pictures that we really appreciated. It was nice to know that our dog was in the best hands with Danielle. Can’t wait to have her back!”

Highland Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using a petsitting service and Gabriana was the perfect sitter for my senior dog! I was so relieved to find her -- and I had no worries about leaving Gabriana in charge of my home and pet. She is a great communicator -- highly recommend!
Morgan was absolutely amazing with our pets. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She really went above and beyond for both our dog and cat. Our dog can be pretty anxious, and Morgan was so patient and attentive, making sure he felt comfortable and had company. She also handled daily medication with ease, which we really appreciated. On top of that, we came home to a house that was somehow even cleaner than when we left. That level of care and thoughtfulness does not go unnoticed. We would 100% book Morgan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring.

Jennifer was amazing with our 4 month old pup! We had to travel last minute and she was able to sit for him in our home. She took the best care of him, sent us pictures and updates, and made our sweet boy even sweeter by the time we got back. So grateful to have found Jennifer and will have her over again and again!

We had a great experience with Paola watching our boy! He is anxious with new people, but warmed up to her super quickly. We love the photos she sent us while we were away. She kept the house clean/the same as it was before we left as well, which we really appreciated coming home to a clean house. Thank you for everything! 🩷

Liana was a great fit for our anxious senior dog, Charlie. He’s not friendly and is scared of new people. She handled him with care and patience. Loved that she always gave daily updates so that put our mind at ease to know he was happy and healthy. Would definitely book her again.

Aleena is absolutely wonderful! She recently watched our two senior Chihuahuas, Piggy and Lucy, and we couldn't be happier with the care they received. Since our dogs are older, we are always a bit nervous leaving them, but Aleena made us feel at ease right away. She was incredibly responsive and provided consistent updates and photos, which we truly appreciated. It was clear that they felt completely comfortable around her and really thrived with her company. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely kind to animals, we highly recommend Aleena. We will definitely be hiring her again!
