“Kristal did an amazing job watching our kitties! We were extremely thankful for the daily check-in notes and photos. We highly recommend Kristal and look forward to using her services in the future!”
“Beth was exceptional with our cats. She kept in close communication while we were gone and gave regular updates. It was evident that the cats were comfortable with Beth; when we got home they showed no signs of stress or misbehavior. I would wholeheartedly recommend Beth to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”
“Lindsey was fantastic! Super nice, kept me updated every day, and even called to see if there was any home related things she could do for an incoming storm! 100% would recommend Lindsey to watch over your furbabies! ?”
“Michelle did amazing with my animals, I have 4! 2 dogs and 2 cats. She was very flexible when the schedule changed as well. Very easy to communicate with, sent update photos and is very observant with your animals. If you book her, just know your pets are in good hands!”
“As always, awesome! I feel so good knowing my George is in good hands. Makes me able to enjoy my vacation. Thank you for being so amazing, reliable and overall a wonderful person. Love the photos of George while I’m away too!”
“Christina was amazing!! We knew she was special when she got our very timid Bodhi to come out of hiding on her very first visit!! She sent lots of photos and updates, and our spoiled kitties were clearly very happy and pampered in her care. She made us feel a lot less guilty about leaving them, haha. We would highly recommend her, and would definitely have her look after our kitties again 😊”
“Christina was generous with her time and expertise. She took excellent care of our cat, and also spent a little time with our dog, during our meet and greet session. She is communicative, responsible, and kind. We will definitely request her services again, and would recommend her to others. Five stars 🌟”
“Elizabeth was wonderful! She was thoughtful and attentive, and both kitties seemed to warm up to her really quickly. She went out of her way to provide exceptional service, and I’d be happy to make use of her services again!”
“Valerie is the best! We needed someone to look after our rabbit for the weekend and she was a huge help! She was a fast responder and provided us with pictures of the little guy each day so we wouldn't miss him too much. She was even nice enough to bring in our packages for us!!! Highly recommend Valerie.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with a Bachelor's degree in Animal Sciences and hands-on experience caring for pets in both shelter and clinical settings. I started my journey working at a local animal shelter, where I cared for dogs and cats of all breeds and temperaments. Now, I work at an animal hospital, where I spend my days caring for boarded cats and dogs. I’m comfortable administering medications and handling special feeding protocols. I also understand that not every pet is easygoing, and that’s okay! I’m comfortable working with pets who may be reactive, anxious, or need a little extra patience and care to feel safe and secure. I work from 7:45 AM to 1:30 PM most days and 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM on Fridays, so I’m available for pet sitting, walks, and visits outside of those hours. Weekend hours may change depending on my work schedule for the week. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet care needs! When caring for your pets in your home, I’ll follow any instructions you provide for feeding, medication, and exercise to ensure they’re getting the care they’re accustomed to. Whether it’s a daily walk, playtime, or snuggles on the couch, I make sure to create a comfortable and safe environment for your pet. I’m also always mindful of the spaces I am in and am more than happy to clean up any messes made! If there are any special needs or behavioral concerns, I’m happy to work with them to ensure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you're away.
“Had a really great experience with Deidre. As a nervous cat mom, she put my mind at ease while I traveled and made sure my cat was well taken care of in my absence. Plan to use her moving forward on my trips if she’s available!”
About: I grew up with animals and have always loved caring for them — mainly cats, but I can’t forget the gerbils, bunnies, reptiles, you name it! Although I’ve grown up with cats, I love dogs just as much and have spent the last 5-7 years walking and looking after dogs of all sizes for friends and family. As a babysitter, I know that pets aren’t just a part of the job — they are family! I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether that involves long walks or some serious playtime (honestly, I think I might have more fun playing than they do). I’m well informed on pet care and safety, and I always prioritize their well-being and safety. You can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and treat your pets like my own. Caring for animals isn’t just a job—it’s truly my joy. I’m currently home from college for the summer. Having just finished a summer course, I have nothing but free time until September! I’m very flexible and happy to help where I’m needed, whether that may be scheduled in advance or on short notice. I am big on going on walks for exercise, so bringing your dog along with me is not only easy but preferable! I have a big backyard where your pet can play, but because I have two cats, I don’t take long dog stays at my home. I’m more than happy to care for your pets in your home and will always follow any instructions you provide me! I can crate your dog if needed, spend time outside for potty breaks (and clean up after!), play with them, and take them for as many walks as you (or your pet) want. I’m very experienced with house sitting through years of babysitting (most of my clients have dogs) and am very comfortable staying in your home for a few nights to keep your fur babies company. I’m a great rule follower, so let me know what it is you’d like from me and I’m happy to help you out! I’m very flexible, easy to work with, and happy to work with you to meet your pet’s unique needs.

Libertyville cat parents share their Rover experiences
Deidre is an awesome cat sitter. Our kitty Edison ("MiMi") was hiding from her during first few visits. We were thinking Edison and Deidre might never meet face to face during the 10-day drop-in visits. They ran into each other on day 4, but still kept some distance. The next day they became best friends. 😍 Thank you, Deidre for taking good care of MiMi!
