“Karina did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and walking her. She was a very happy and relaxed pup when we got home. Karina is very trustworthy and we are so thankful to have her!”
“This is our second time having Erica watch our guys, she was able to accommodate us last minute which was a sigh of relief for us since she had been here before! She was patient with the buds and kept me informed all along the way.”
About: I have grown up with animals, with my first dog being my 8th grade graduation present. From then on, we have always had at least two or more animals at home of any sort of mixture. I have cared for animals in various jobs, have watched family and friends pets for them, and have a little zoo of my own at home. I love dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, but seniors will always have a special place in my heart. There is nothing better than walking through the door and seeing your four legged friend wagging their tail, jumping in and giving kisses, or rubbing against you with excitement to see you. My schedule is built around full time pet sitting which is the core of my work. I also hold a part time job for steady income with fully adjustable hours allowing me to prioritize your pets care. Throughout the day, I keep detailed notes and send updates, photos, and messages to owners so they feel connected and reassured. Because pet care is my full‑time focus, I can be flexible with last‑minute requests, extended stays, or changes in routine. Overall, pet care isn’t something I fit into my routine — it is my routine. My schedule is built entirely around making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I am very respectful of my clients homes and their wishes. If they leave instructions or tell me certain things, I will follow as they say. Pet parents are the ones that know their babies the most and I value trust and honesty when working with someone.
About: I provide attentive, high-quality care tailored to each dog’s needs. I’m experienced with structured routines, leash handling, and reading dog behavior to ensure a safe and positive environment. Whether your dog needs exercise, structure, or just extra affection, I deliver dependable, top-tier care every time. My schedule is currently flexible as I am in between work allowing me to be available morning-evenings. Whether you’re looking for a morning walk or running late from work I can be there. I try to keep things as normal as possible for your dog while you’re gone. I follow your routine, make sure they’re well-fed, walked, and getting plenty of attention. I’m also very respectful of your home and keep everything clean and in order.
“I love having Brianna take care of my cat while I’m away! I’m always confident that our cat will get all of the care, cuddles, and play time she needs. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Brianna to anyone!”
“Jason took wonderful care of my cats while I was away! He kept in contact, took great pictures, and left the house just the way he found it (if not cleaner!). I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Kayla did an amazing job taking care of our cat. She showed up as scheduled, and went above and beyond with his care. We got great feedback and lots of photos showing how happy he was. The house was always locked up and the alarm set when she left. I highly recommend Kayla🙂”
“I strongly recommend Kati to anyone in the area looking for a reliable and trustworthy person to care for their fur babies. Appreciated the daily photos and notes she communicated for my review. I returned home to two happy fur babies. A BIG THANK YOU !!”
“Anna was just wonderful! She came for drop-in visits and looked after my dog and cat while we were gone for 8 days. I looked forward to seeing the photos of my sweet dog on his walks and I couldn’t believe my extremely shy cat made appearances for photos, too! We were relaxed on our vacation knowing our pets were well looked after. Thank you so very much, Anna!”
“Aury took amazing care of my two cats. Very attentive and great communication — sent lots of pics and videos. She went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for and gave me peace of mind while I was out of town. Definitely recommend her 10/10 :)”
“Christina was great with Pepper! She was so sweet and caring, and when our original request changed to include giving some meds, she was more than happy to help. She was easy to work with, reliable, and I’ll gladly rebook with her in the future.”
“Rachel did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. She made sure to follow through instructions and clarify some additional questions during my stay away as well. This helped me feel reassured.”
About: I have taken care of service dogs for 2 years in college now as part of the service dog club. I have taken care of puppies and old dogs so you’re in good hands. I’m working remote as a software engineer for a start up so I’m fully available for any time and any schedule that works for you. I live in a great suburb for tons of space for any sized dog to walk and play and tons of space inside as well.
“Claudia is great, takes the time to work with our new puppy, going above and beyond during her time with him. Very easy to communicate with and provides great updates each day!”
About: hello! my name is charlize i’m 22 i’ve grown up with animals my whole life and now i currently work at an animal hospital helping taking care of the dogs and cats that come in to see the vet. i’m very experienced with animals and taking care of animals and i love all different kinds of animals. i’ve worked at the animal hospital now for two and a half years and its been the most amazing two and a half years of my life. i am also going to school to practice becoming a veterinarian so i am really excited to meet all new furry friends for more experience. i am good with administering medication, i am good with dealing with aggressive dogs, i am good with any diabetic cat or dog with dosing insulin. you name it and i can do it!! i work part time hours at the animal hospital during the summer months and full time during fall and winter but i am extremely flexible, as i work on my terms and conditions. i am willing to fit last minute accommodation if it works with my personal schedule but i can also take time out of my day if needed to walk a dog etc. i unfortunately cannot have pets in my building but i am more than willing and able to go to anyone else’s beloved home to pet sit, or walk, or feed animals. i come in with a soft expression and wait for the animals to get used to me and my scent and then i wait for their approval to come further in their home/space. i am very careful to not touch them when they don’t want to be touched and i am always patient with animals especially if they’re new to my route.
Long Grove cat parents share their Rover experiences
Paige went above and beyond. She cared for our cats with such attention, stayed flexible when plans shifted, and looked after the house as if it were her own. She even helped us with a few issues and small chores along the way. We’re grateful for her care and support.
Sandy always takes such wonderful care of my Cora as if she was her own kitty. While I never like leaving Cora behind when I travel for work, I know she’s in great care with Sandy. She’s trustworthy, kind, and an all-around lovely person. I also highly value the peace of mind knowing Sandy is an experienced vet tech if anything were to ever happen. She’s the best!
Kayla was great! We left our cats, Pumpkin and Shadow, in her care for four days while we were on vacation. Kalya's thorough updates during our trip convinced us that she took great care of the cats. Her photos were complete and fun to watch, and her descriptions of her visits suggested that the cats were nurtured and entertained while she visited. I would hire her again!
