“Sara watched our two kitties for an entire week. It was beyond helpful and awesome. She was able to keep me at ease. She communicated with me the entire time. As well as before the trip. You can tell she is incredibly comfortable taking care of animals. Our house was left clean, our kitties were happy and safe. Highly recommend!! Thank u thank u Sara!!”
“It felt so easy having you watch my dog. My dog is an insecure dog and Gabi took her on so well. She provided plenty of updates to keep me in the loop. She went above and beyond taking my dog for walks when she normally just goes out back. When I got my dog back I noticed she was better behaved. I will be hiring Gabi again.”
“Ruth has been an amazing house and pet sitter for me and my two little pups! She's kind, conscientious and overall a fantastic person and perlt caretaker! I highly recommend Ruth for all of your house and pet sitting needs! 🫶🩷🐾”
“Kaira was a wonderful sitter for my pup! My little guy needed a little extra attention which required dosing multiple pills in the morning and evening, and Kaira took great care to give him everything he needed! My dog also has anxiety, but was quick to warm up to Kaira. She's flexible, checks in often, and sent lots of cute pics!”
“Lisa is fantastic. She is super nice and accommodating. This was our first time using Rover. She was very responsive and came to our house to meet the pups beforehand and spent a long time making sure she knew every detail about our usual routine. They of course loved her and she was great with them. She sent lots of photos and updates and was also very respectful of our house. She left everything perfectly clean and in order. She will definitely be our first choice to stay with our puppies during our next trip this summer.”
“Stephanie was great! She communicated consistently with texts and pictures of our pups. She made sure they were well fed, took them on walks, and managed a few oddball chores we asked her to help with. Our family and pup crew hope to meet again.”
“Tim stayed with our pets for a week and did a great job! We have 3 dogs and 4 cats so it was a lot. Plenty of pics sent to us and followed instructions to a T. It was so nice to be able to take a family vacation with everyone and rest easy that our babies were in good hands!”
“Our two pups absolutely LOVED Maria! She took care of them in our home for six days and everything went 100% smoothly. Maria is a kind and gracious person. She even left us a Thank You note! Every day we received photo texts, which reassured us that our beloved pets were having a good time with Maria. We recommend her very highly!”
“Taylor was amazing! I had a previous sitter who canceled on me last minute and Taylor was available to watch my puppy for me with very little notice. My puppy definitely seemed to enjoy her, and I really don’t think she was worried about me not being there. I will definitely, hire Taylor again. Highly recommended.”
“Carolina was outstanding! She spent lots of time with the dogs - kept the house clean and neat as well. Any little issue that came up was handled promptly and efficiently. I think my dogs would like us to have to go away again more often They defiantly bonded with Carolina. Fully recommend her to anyone.”
About: Hi! My name is Lariza Valcy and I’m a dependable, patient, and caring pet lover excited to care for your furry family members through Rover. I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs and other pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having calm company around, I’m happy to adjust to their needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I can help with feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, basic grooming, cleaning up after pets, and giving regular updates with photos so you can feel at ease while away from home. I’m very attentive to instructions and understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine. I also value keeping a clean, respectful environment and making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for at all times.

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel loved and cared for. I’m able to plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and check-ins to make sure pets receive consistent attention and care throughout the day. I enjoy creating a calm, safe, and positive environment for pets, and I always make time to give them patience, affection, and companionship while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, and any special routines or house rules. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to help them feel relaxed, loved, and secure while their owner is away. I keep a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and always pay close attention to safety by monitoring pets during playtime, walks, and interactions. I also make sure pets have plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. Communication is very important to me, so I provide updates and photos to help owners feel comfortable and reassured while their pets are in my care.
“Erin was a life saver - we needed last-minute pet care and she was there! Erin responds quickly, answers questions, and took great care of our pets. Including medicating our senior dog. Thank you, Erin!”

“We really enjoyed having Oliviagrace stay with our fur babies. She was attentive to their needs and schedule. While we were gone, she took wonderful care of our home and we returned to it exactly as we left it. We also appreciated that she was in touch daily and had clearly spent quality time with our doggos as she learned their personalities and preferences. We’ve been hoping to find a new regular sitter and will absolutely be continuing to hire Oliviagrace!”

Hilshire Village pet parents share their Rover experiences
Thankful that Maria was available last minute to watch our dog Piper. Maria is a great communicator, was on time, and most importantly Piper had a great time and was disappointed for her to leave even after only a few hours. Thanks, and we will definitely reach out again!
Hannah was wonderful with Eleanor. She stayed at our house for a week and was very patient with her. Our girl can be needy & struggles with separation anxiety but Hannah was able to cater to her needs. She provided wonderful updates & was very very kind to our home. She left the house very clean & she was so communicative. We would highly suggest trusting your babies with her and I don’t say that lightly! Thank you Hannah so much!!!
Jairo was great with ours dogs! He kept us updated, communicated well. We really appreciated the notes he left about each of them during his stay with them. It gives us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely use his services again and highly recommend him!
This was my first time using Rover and I will never use anyone else! Lorin made me feel at ease while I was away with daily updates, photos and videos - ensuring Hazel was in great hands. Hazel has never been boarded or watched after by anyone except my family. Seeing how comfortable she was in Lorin’s home showed me how much Hazel loved her and how well she was being taken care of. Thank you for providing such great care and I promise that you will see Hazel again! ♥️
Giovanni was AMAZING! Took great care of our cat while we were away and constantly kept in contact with us. He kept our home nice and tidy as well. There was a huge storm during his stay and the power went out. We called and said he could leave and our cat would be ok for several hours, but he stayed with our pet throughout the whole time. Best cat sitter we have ever had. Will reuse again!
Kendall was very communicative and took great care of my 2 cats on a recent visit. She even proactively offered up to stop by for another drop in/feeding session to work with my travel schedule. Also doesn’t hurt that she takes pretty awesome pictures of pets!
Sama is such an amazing cat sitter! She is very professional, kind and friendly. During the meet and greet, I can tell that she truly loves cats and I believe that she took care of my two kittens as if they were her own. She is clear about what she is comfortable with, how long she will be with the cats, and when I can expect updates during the house sitting period. The cats adored her and were super happy to have someone around while I was away. I would definitely recommend Sama to anyone who needs cat sitting services, and I’m going to definitely book her services again when I go out of town :)
