“Phoebe came in like a true miracle worker after our original pet care plans fell through she is AWESOME! We have two dogs of polar opposite energy levels and she took wonderful and thoughtful care of both of them.”
“Monica has been a really great sitter for my two cats on several occasions now, and I trust her completely. It’s obvious she loves cats, but she’s also really responsible, takes initiative if something needs to be done, and provides really nice pictures and detailed updates. I wouldn’t hesitate at all to recommend her, and I will definitely continue to trust her with my babies.”

About: I have taken classes in dog behaviors and how they act when they might need a particular action done. I have a NAPPS certification, which is National Association of Professional Pet Sitters that is earned for all small animals, both including dogs and cats. I have had my own very young puppy, so I know how to handle and train them in a gentle manner that they will respond to. I have tons of experience in senior dogs and cats, so I am patient to more slow animals or paying attention to them more and making sure they have what they need. I have an extremely open schedule and can stay over for longer periods of time than most people. I am free almost every single day for hours on end, so finding when I can come over is no trouble. I’m easy to schedule if I need to house sit, and am extremely responsible and willing to stay overnight when needed. I love taking care of animals in their own homes, knowing they’ll feel the most comfortable surrounded by their familiar surroundings. The only thing I care about is that your furry companions are safe and cared for in a way that they don’t feel out of place or missing the love they got before you left them in my care.

“Daniel did great with our shy and cautious dog. He warmed up to him surprisingly quick, which we took as a great sign. Daniel left the home clean and did everything as instructed. His daily drop-in notes were informative and thorough. We would definitely book him again in the future.”

“This was our first time having Isabelle and her dad care for our two cats, and they are delightful caregivers. They were caring, responsive, and the cats clearly loved the visits!”
About: I have been caring for dogs for friends and neighbors for many years and have decided to branch out and find some more dogs to watch! I love every single dog that visits me, and they love me. Dog owners tell me it is the best possible home away from home and they feel so comfortable that their dog is in such good hands. Dogs are so happy with me, and I love having them around and sharing pics with you if you like when the dog is here. Lots of love, cuddles on the sofa, and plenty of walks around the neighborhood is what will happen here. I can only care for hypo-allergenic breeds or small short-haired dogs as my family has some allergies.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 11 years now. I’ve owned 3 dogs and have loved every moment with them. Additionally, I did pet sit one of my friend’s dogs for 3 days. Some stuff I would do with my pets include: Meal prepping homemade food so I could feed breakfast and dinner, giving baths, going on walks around my neighborhood, and lastly having fun with them with toys. UPDATE: IM BACK HOME AND AVAILABLE FULL TIME …….ignore this part : Im currently in College and also a student athlete playing soccer. I am available basically every day. I do have practices and classes so if I am available I will accept! Hopefully my schedule will fit into any of yours! I would love to take care of your pet at your home and make sure he is entertained and well fed. I could also take to any park if you need.
“My first experience of rover, Kelly was super kind, caring, and comforting to my 2 kitties. they are both pretty shy and timid for newcomers and she made both of them feel safe. definitely will want to visit with Kelly again!”

Highland Park-Overlee Knolls pet parents share their Rover experiences
We have enlisted Mikaela's help multiple times now and it is an immense comfort knowing that she's taking care of the homefront while we're away. Being able to keep the crew at home, in an environment they know, with a caretaker who's warm and exudes calm energy, is awesome.
Maria was such a wonderful sitter for our cat while we were gone. She put me at ease, was super organized and routine with her visits, provided ample pictures and notes, and was a genuinely lovely person who I felt I could trust immediately. My cat was so comfortable with her. I will certainly use her again!
John was amazing and took great care of Chico during his unexpected final weekend. John communicated well and went above and beyond to ensure Chico was comfortable until I returned. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a compassionate animal caregiver!
