“Migle was amazing with our dogs (who can be a lot)! Great communication, GREAT pics throughout our trip -- we felt super confident the dogs were happy and in good hands.”


“We’re so happy we found Elizabeth! Both our dog and our cat trusted her right away, and when we came back from our trip, they were both calm and relaxed. It gave us so much peace of mind to know they had company while we were away. She stayed at our home, everything was great with the house too, and we absolutely recommend her 🙌🏻”



“Cheryl did a wonderful job taking care of our little Yorkie! We LOVED getting pictures and updates. We can back to a clean house and a very happy dog. We were definitely able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was in good hands! Thank you so much!!”



“Jenna did an absolutely amazing job. I sent her so many details about the animals and she was so laid back and relaxed. She made them so happy. Thank you so much!”


“Justin is great! I just started booking him this month and have already used his services twice. Banksy is a sweet girl but has some issues with other dogs but Justin hasn’t any problems with her so far. He’s responsive, respectful, and I’ve always come home to a clean house and a happy dog. I’m so glad I found him and will definitely be booking with again soon!”


“Sarah was amazing! She housesat with my pup and my cat while I was out of town and I knew they were in such good hands the whole time! My pup can be nervous when first meeting new people and Sarah was so patient and sweet letting Remy warm to her in her own time showing before showing off her sassy silly self. My cat Sherlock has diabetes and Sarah did an excellent job giving him his insulin. She was super communicative throughout the stay and sent pictures of my little guys.”


“Jared came through for us when a previous Rover sitter bailed less than a week before our scheduled vacation which we had been planning for a year. He came over for a meet and greet within a day or two of contact. The pups really seemed to like him. We booked him and he showed up which was a great relief after being let down several times before from Rover sitters. We left him detailed instructions and our contact info if there were any problems or questions. He sent us a pic of the dogs when he arrived for the first day and was communicative throughout the stay. He took great care of the pups and was very respectful of our home. Would definitely recommend him to anyone who is in need of a reliable sitter. We will use his services again.”


“Chloe did a wonderful job handling my crew of 4! She sent lots of updates with pictures & communicated well throughout her stay. I returned to happy pets & a tidy home. My lil family will surely be happy to see her again!”


“This is now my third time booking with sweet Joree and she has just been the absolute best dog sitter ever!!!! She takes care of my dog so well, is attentive, and communicated perfectly. She is my go to sitter, and everyone should book with Joree!!❤️❤️”


“Monty provided wonderful care for Jello while I was out of the country. They were super responsive when I checked in and sent photos most days, which I really appreciated. They were also great about adapting to my 15 month old’s puppy energy and zoomies, which is no easy feat. Would absolutely book with Monty again.”

On weekend days schedule is flexible to accommodate your pet’s needs. I will ensure your pet’s safety and meet all their needs, whether that means crating them or providing close supervision—whatever keeps them comfortable and secure.

“Arissa was wonderful to work with! Our pup wasn’t so sure about having us gone initially but Arissa was super patient and kind. They ended up having a great time cuddling and playing. We’d definitely rebook with her!”


About: I have always been passionate about animals and grew up being a "Dog Girl". I would opt to study dog breeds before bed instead of bed time stories and quiz my parents on walks and car rides. I've cared for Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Yorkies, and French Bulldogs all the way up to Giant Schnauzers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, and Labradoodles! Once I moved out on my own and moved into a studio apartment I realized that I may not have room physically for a dog but I would be able to help out cats who are waiting for their furever homes. I have been fostering cats for 5 years and have been able to help cats in both Chicago and New Orleans acclimate to home life as they await their adoption. I have "Foster Failed" and do have my own cat, Dolly, who is my constant companion. I often care for my friends animals in the area and look forward to meeting your fury family member! I do have blocks of time through out the day where I can check in and spend time with your fur baby. I have a pretty flexible schedule but it does fluctuate. I would be able to work with your animal's schedule but it will depend sometimes week to week or month to month. I have a lot of free time in early morning, around lunch and late evenings every day with most days having free afternoons and/or evenings. I will not be hosting animals in my home at this time but I do have space for animals as I often foster shelter cats in my home.

“Laura was amazing. Lilly came down with a uti the night before we were leaving and Laura was ready to step in and help Lilly get the medical attention she needed. Thankfully we were able to see the vet before leaving. She was very attentive to the girls and kept up with Lilly’s med schedule. She gave us plenty of updates which helped us relax and enjoy our time away. She left the house spotless and in the same condition it was when we left. The girls are anxious for her to return! Definitely recommend Laura!”


“Alexus was fantastic with Stella, very good with communication, and I felt so comfortable knowing someone responsible and enthusiastic was taking care of my sweet girl while I was away. Already booking her again for the next time I’m out of town!”


“Megan is professional, amazing, competent, and reliable all around. She took charge and supported me while I showed a family member around town. My little doggie is head over heels for her! I plan on ask for her help again soon, and would wholeheartedly recommend her to someone looking for a sitter!”

Irish Channel pet parents share their Rover experiences
Couldn’t be happier with Minami’s care! My dog is a rescue and can even become a bit aggressive towards strangers in the house. When I got home from a weeks long vacation, Birdie was running after Minami for one last snuggle before she left! Needless to say, Minami will always be our number one sitter. She was very attentive, cleaned well, respectful of my home and belongings, PLUS sent me high quality photos worthy of an album cover. ✨100/10✨

Jacob was great with our dog! He handled giving him twice daily insulin injections like a pro, was communicative, and sent us regular photos of a very happy pup. We got home to a clean house and a healthy, relaxed dog. We will absolutely use Jacob again as a sitter!

Elise is wonderful with my dogs! I have 2 older dogs, one super friendly and one that’s more anxious that takes time to get used to people. They have both been taken care of and it shows. And their routine isn’t interrupted at all. Elise updates me often and does their favorite things with them, taking them on walks and playing fetch with them. I couldn’t recommend her more!

Laura is a shining star from above that has graced us with her lovely presence to tend to our 20 year old pup’s needs. We breathe a serene sigh of relief knowing Laura will be in our home attending to our dogs wants/needs. She is very delicate towards our pup and treats our home with the utmost care. After getting to know her, we feel like she is a dear friend. We rely on her to take care of our number one dog in our lives. She is just stellar.

Heather was an absolutely amazing sitter for our cat Lizzie. Lizzie has not had many sitters and she usually takes a while to warm up to new people but she was cuddling immediately because Heather has great energy and takes such good care of your pet. She's kind and caring, made sure to update us at every step along the way, took great pictures, and really showed our girl the kind of love and attention that all pets need when you're away! Everything was super easy and we would HIGHLY recommend Heather.

Cody went above and beyond caring for my rabbit. She sent many pictures twice a day during the drop in visits and it helped me feel at ease while being away on a 10 day trip. I sent her long instructions and she followed them perfectly. There are not many sitters I have trusted with my pets, but she genuinely cares for animals and is 100% reliable, safe, and respectful.

Brittany went above above above and beyond caring for my Juno! She took Juno on field trips, kept Juno engaged and close by her. She brought Juno on numerous fun walks to Audubon Park. She slept with Juno and bathed her and brushed her. She gave Juno all. of her medication for a rash. Juno just absolutely loved Brittany and I could tell Brittany really loved Juno. Brittany was amazing and I would highly recommend Brittany to other dog/pet owners. Juno is everything to me and I am so grateful to have found Brittany to stay in our home with my sweet Juno.
