“Rylie was excellent, sent me lots of photos of my cats while I was away and even did a few extra tasks like taking out the trash after I forgot to the day before my trip. Really appreciate the attention to detail! Importantly my cats liked her and I came home to very happy kitties that had clearly received some good attention.”

About: Hi! I’m Melissa, a 27-year-old social media coordinator working from home in Chicago. I’ve been pet sitting through Rover on and off since 2019, but I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for years before that as well. I’m very comfortable with pets of all personalities and always try to meet animals where they are, especially when it comes to affection, trust and personal space. I know every pet is different, and I never want them to feel pressured or uncomfortable. I have pets of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them. I’ll always treat your pets with the same love, patience and respect I’d want for my own because they really are part of the family! I live right by Winnemac Park and would especially love to connect with families nearby for dog walks and cat check-ins. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible throughout the week and I’m able to fit in walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I live right by Winnemac Park, so I’m especially available for pets in the surrounding neighborhood and can usually accommodate morning, afternoon or evening visits depending on the day. I believe mutual respect between a person and an animal are super important for the relationship especially in the pet service care industry, so I make sure to pay close attention to that!

“Olivia was so kind and patient with our newly adopted rescue pup! He’s still a little shy with new people and she took the time to let him get comfortable with her on his own terms. Thanks for caring for Grady, Olivia!”

“Lauren’s service was excellent. She took time to acclimate Obryn as a first time client and was attentive, knowledgable a natural dog handler and very flexible. I am very pleased that I found her in my neighborhood. Thank you, Lauren for your expertise and experience. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”

“Ellie was a DREAM working with Merlin. This was the first time in over 3 years that I have left Merlin alone for an extended period of time with someone that wasn't a close family member. I was a bit anxious and Ellie took all of my scaries away. She sent very thorough notes, played a bunch with him, sent the most adorable photos -- and he was clearly enjoying his time with her! She's fantastic and I'll def be asking for her help again :)”

“Mike is great! We have worked with him a few times and will plan to again in the future. He checked in on and fed our kitties while we were away for the weekend. He also alerted me that our air conditioning was broken so I was able to get the issue addressed before we returned home. Highly recommend Mike!”

“Jessica was an absolute life saver, especially with a pretty late request! She took excellent care of Mr. Bones and was super responsive and communicative. I really appreciated her support, and definitely recommend her!”

About: I am a lover of both cats and dogs and aim to make your pet feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I grew up with dogs, fostered dogs in college, and currently own two cats. I am happy to provide regular or one-off care for your pet! Cats: I have experience giving my cats both liquid and pill medication, and clipping their nails. I work remotely full-time and can easily arrange my schedule to accommodate new bookings. I do not own a car and will prioritize bookings that are closer to my apartment. Please provide the nearest cross streets to your location when reaching out if possible. I leave my client’s homes in the same state they were prior to booking and do my best to ask all questions about pet and clients needs ahead of time.

“Flower was the perfect friend for our cat while we were gone. Our cat can be anxious and timid but Flower really made him feel comfortable and safe. I really appreciated the sweet videos of them cuddling and playing together while we were gone to ease my own anxiety. I am really impressed with the really thoughtful care and would definitely recommend for any other anxious pet parents.”

“Kaira was AMAZING while we were gone for a 10-day trip. Her communication was quick and detailed, and she cared for our cat like she was her own. She went above and beyond in her care and we felt so at ease on our vacation knowing our Hunny was so well taken care of. Thank you!”

About: I’ve been around pets as long as I can remember! I grew up with big dogs and sassy cats, which gave me a good foundation to watch friends and families’ pets as well. I find that my approach to pets centers around patience and play — I like to give them as much time as they need to express themselves, and I love to figure out what gets them excited to play! I am endlessly entertained by their personalities. I currently work from home and care for two little stinkers of my own (two cats named Simon and Marsh). I have experience administering medication to both cats and dogs, and I am comfortable with pets of all ages. I currently work part time from home! I am always available from 6-10a and after 4p. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I am available all day. I’d like to incorporate a handful of walks and/or drop in visits into my weekly routine. I have experience walking a reactive dog so my safety practices default to that experience! In general, I avoid other dogs on walks (unless otherwise instructed by you!) to minimize potential conflicts. For cats, my number one priority is making sure they stay inside! I have two little guys who like to dash out any open door, so I’m always keeping an eye on them. I am also familiar with dangerous foods/florals for both dogs and cats.

About: I’m a life long animal lover who has had cats and dogs my whole life besides the last few years while I raised my twins. My kids are now in school and I’m looking to do drop-ins and walks during the school day (11am-3pm). I volunteered with cats at Evanston animal shelter for several years. I have done drop-ins for cats and dogs through the years as well. My last pet, Mina, was a feral cat who needed extra love and care but slowly came out of her shell and thrived. I have also walked and cared for my friends and extended family’s dogs. I am a stay at home mom, and my kids are now in full day school, so I have time to spend with your pets. I am available from 11-3pm all weekdays except Thursday. I like being active so am looking forward to walks. I currently have no pets, so look forward to caring for yours. I can do drop-in visits and walks for your pets during the day. I have done drop-ins and walks for friends and family members over the years so feel comfortable with a range of animals. My home is not available for boarding.

“Joe has been nothing short of tremendous with our kitties! It was our first time using Rover, and the thorough communication and pictures made it apparent the loving care that was being provided. Having him so nearby is the cherry on top! We will definitely be using Joe in the future. Thank you for making our first experience such a great one!”
