“Emily watched our dog Mouse for 16 days while we were halfway around the world. This was the longest we had ever been away from him and the farthest. We were a little nervous going into it but Emily made us feel so at ease. She sent updates every day usually multiple times a day. She would also tailor the timing of her updates to the timezone we were in which was much appreciated as well. We could tell Mouse was well taken care of and that she gave him a lot of love. We can’t wait to work with her again!”
“Jessica is a wonderful super. Our pets received the best of care. She was so good even the neighbors complemented on her great care. She will use her again and again!”
“Laianna was a wonderful sitter! She gave tons of updates, was attentive to any unique requests, and left my home and my pup in perfect condition when I returned. Such a gift to have peace of mind that your dog is in good hands - thanks!”
“I don’t think we could have possibly found a better sitter than Melissa. Our pup can be extremely shy, but Melissa worked with her through her stay and was eventually able to win her over. She was very communicative the entire time we were gone and gave us great piece of mind. Melissa definitely goes above and beyond, and we’re very grateful to have found her.”
“Erin house-sat for us when we needed a cat sitter for four days on short notice. She was amazing! Her connection to the kitties and thoughtful, conscientious approach to the care of our beloved companions set my mind at ease. It was clear from our first conversation that she was trustworthy and dependable, which was reassuring since we've never had a house-sitter. We have a senior cat who requires twice-daily medication and Erin handled all his special needs. She communicated clearly, left the house in excellent condition, and is also just a wonderful person all around!”
“Katherine took our two rowdy boys totally in stride and made me feel totally confident that she had them safe and sound. Lovely pics and great communication. Would book again”
“Melissa sat with my dog Stella yesterday afternoon. She arrived on time, was loving and attentive to Stella and I felt totally confident that she would be able to handle any emergency that might arise. Also, Stella loved her! I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”
About: Love talking to animals and figuring out their language. Sometimes it’s a way a cat rubs against you or a dog smells your feet love I have weekends open enough I could spend a night w a furry little person or a flexible work week to check in on a loved furry or scaly friend for water food and petting. I am a gardener biker and outdoor person rain or shine so a long walk in a rail trail fits in my schedule When watching my clients chickens outside I checked on their hen house and cleaned it out put in new hay and make sure they got food and water twice a day but at least one free range walk
About: I specialize in attentive, stress-free cat care, with a deep understanding of feline behavior and needs. I’ve also cared for dogs and know how to ensure they feel safe, seen, and comfortable. My calm presence and attention to detail set me apart when it comes to compassionate, reliable pet care. My schedule allows for catering to all of a pet's needs: feeding, grooming, walking, playing and enrichment, medication administration, etc. I can also do multiple drop-ins per day/extended drop-ins for pets that need company throughout the day. I live in an apartment complex, so I would not be able to host your pet in my home, but I have reliable transportation and would love to come to you!
About: As a dedicated professional with two years of experience in animal care, I am proficient in providing comprehensive pet-sitting services. My expertise encompasses both in-home and farm animal care, including overnight stays, walks, and specialized attention to individual needs. I am adept at managing medications and addressing any special requirements your pets may have. My schedule is flexible, accommodating after-work hours and weekend availability. Communication is preferred via text or email, but I am also available for calls to provide updates or address immediate needs. I am able to travel up to 20 miles. To ensure the highest standard of care, please provide detailed information regarding your pets' specific needs, including medication schedules and any special requirements. I am committed to delivering exceptional service and ensuring the well-being of your animals. I'm currently working full time so I have a lot of time to be with your pets at my house. I'm pretty flexible with my schedule and give your pets attention and time I have a porch, but unfortunately, there is no fenced yard. I am quite relaxed about it. They have ample space to move around indoors.
“Monica took excellent care of our active hound mix,Tika. Tika is 45 pounds, 3 years, old and is a pandemic rescue pup who has never been away from us for more than one overnight when we have had a relative housesit for us. Monica first came for a meet and greet and a walk before we hired her to housesit and we could see how Tika immediately took to her. Monica’s house sitting stint with us was for six nights and was very successful. She made sure to communicate with us every day with a photo and an update by text via @Rover. When we remembered something while away that might help her care for Tika she immediately responded to our suggestion. When she had a question about Tika’s behavior or needs she immediately reached out. She cleaned up after herself and left the house in the same condition as when she left it. We could see when we returned from our trip and Monica was out of the house that when she returned Tika was so excited to see her! We will absolutely be working with Monica again in the future. She is professional, friendly, a delight to work with and is clearly a dog’s best friend. She gets our highest recommendation.”
“Bre’ahna provided exceptional care for our three fur babies (two dogs and one cat). She stayed overnight at our home to comfort our dogs, who get scared by themselves, Our senior pup can be a lot to deal with because she needs extra support at her age, including 3x/day medication; Bre’ahna handled her special care needs with understanding and skill. When our other dog experienced mild diarrhea, Bre’ahna promptly communicated with us, ensuring he felt better quickly. We highly recommend her!”
“Wow! Wow wow! Gaby was the best companion Kevin could ask for in my absence. She took time to get to know him, listened to all my paranoid instructions, sent regular photos and updates, and left my house completely spotless. Most importantly, I came home to a completely well fed, well exercised super chill dog who seems to have had the best week ever!”
“Victoria is awesome! She took care of Pippi, our very senior (21-year-old) kitty, along with our 100-year old house for over a week. Victoria texted us daily with pictures and videos and left everything in perfect order. She took such good care of Pippi, who is mostly deaf, often grumpy, sometimes confused, and still a bit sassy - not always an easy task. Victoria is a five-star sitter!”
“Karla is a gentle and kind animal whisperer. Our pup was immediately calmed by her energy. From his daily med routine, to even feeding him by hand when he put up a “my humans are traveling fight” she cared for him with grace and love. AND we got daily pics.”

Lincoln Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Laura was able to come last-minute for a full afternoon and cared for both my new kitten and my cat that she’s met before. There was extra work keeping them separated and with different food requirements, so I appreciated Laura’s attention to both my kitties. Great pics as always, and they’re knocked out from a great play-date!

Nicole stayed with our two French bulldogs while we were away for a long weekend. She did a wonderful job and kept us informed with updates throughout the stay. The boys were well taken care of, as was our house. We would definitely book with Nicole again in the future!
Melissa was a great dog sitter for our furry friends this past weekend. She was attentive to all of the various quirks and medical requirements of the dogs, and was thoughtful about time outside when the weather was poor. She also handled an unexpected indoor potty break very sensitively, even doing a load of laundry to make sure each dog had a comfortable place to sleep. I highly recommend Melissa and will definitely look to her first the next time I need a sitter.
Rima was amazing with our little Ozzie!!! It was almost like she could read his mind! She sent us a lot of videos so we could see how well he was doing. She is very communicative and lets you know quickly whether she can come and when she’s on her way. She left our house, nice and clean! We highly recommend Rima and we plan to use her services again and again! Thank you so much, Rima <3
This was our first time hiring Deborah to stay with our dogs and it certainly won’t be the last. It’s been a mixed bag when hiring dog sitters through Rover, but with Deborah’s great reviews we took a chance and were absolutely blown away. Deborah met with us beforehand to meet us and the dogs. She asked us lots of great questions and took thorough notes as we spoke. Then she met with us again the day before to go over everything once more. Her thoroughness and willingness to make sure our dogs were well cared for made us confident leaving them in her care. She sent us regular updates and photos while we were away and it was clear our dogs were very comfortable with her. She took them on walks multiple times a day, and was so attentive to their needs, making sure their schedule remained similar to how it is when we’re home. Then, upon our return, our house was just how we left it (maybe even a little cleaner!) and our dogs were so happy. Deciding to travel is hard for us because it’s so tough to find a good dog sitter, but we’re excited (and I know the dogs are as well) for the next time we have a trip so we can rehire Deborah. We were truly able to relax knowing our dogs were in her care!
Dina was so great! She made our dogs feel loved and cared for with treats and toys and really went above and beyond so they enjoyed their time together. She sent updates throughout the weekend and kept us informed about all of their activities. We will definitely use her again!
Melissa sat with my dog Stella yesterday afternoon. She arrived on time, was loving and attentive to Stella and I felt totally confident that she would be able to handle any emergency that might arise. Also, Stella loved her! I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.
