“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🙂”
“Giada went above and beyond our expectations. She came out after a horrific weather event here last week in Palatine. She even sent us pics and updates of the storm damage done to our property too as well as telling us our kitty was safe!”
“Erica was great with our Lola! She was on time for the drop-ins, sent us many pictures and updates each visit. Lola was very comfortable with her and she really enjoyed her company.”
“We had Kati watch our cat for a week while we went on vacation and she made us feel so comfortable doing so. She took great care of our pet and even went out of her way to clean up messes our cat made and took in our garbage cans. We will definitely use her again!”
“Jennifer was a life saver and such a help with my two pups! Was traveling in the area and needed help at the hotel while I attended an event. She was professional, polite, communicative and the pups loved her! Would absolutely book again.”
“Maria has watched our cat several times now, and we've been impressed with her quick and thorough responsiveness. She even administers an oral medication for him. Recently there was a glitch in the system where a confirmed booking did not appear, and she reconfirmed without promoting - especially appreciated because it was a day before our trip! Thank you for your care and conscientiousness, Maria!”
“We had a last minute cancellation of our sitter, so we had to scramble to find a new sitter. Luckily, we found Leora! She took great care of our kitties while we were away. Especially one who is a specials needs boy. His meds ran out mid-week and she offered to pick up a prescription refill for him. Very appreciative of her patience and care with our kitties. They are our family and she really understood that 😸”
“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!”
“Thank you for taking wonderful care of my fur babies. Brianna is very kind and visited to take notes of my cats personalities. She loves animals and is an amazing pet sitter. Highly recommend her to anyone in the area 😊”
“Cathy started caring for our black lab, Wendy, last week. She responded so quickly to my messages and was able to do a meet and greet within days of my first message to her! Our dog loves Cathy and it’s been going really well when Cathy comes to let her out at lunchtime. I would definitely recommend Cathy to care for your pet! She has a lab of her own and a lot of experience.”
About: I have had the pleasure and joy of being able to take care of lots of different animals for over 10 years. I spent some time on a farm where taking care of sheep, pigs, chicken, ducks, and the barn cats and dogs was a daily thing. Later on, I was the proud mama of a german shepherd named Bruno who stole my heart in every way. Unfortunately he is now gone since November of 2023. Since then, my lifestyle has changed and I am not able to have another dog of my own due to long working hours four days out of the week. However I love taking care of pets, especially dogs, and this is the perfect way to still have a connection with these wonderful creatures, even if they are not my own :) I promise to take care of yours as if it was my own! They will be royally treated with me! My Fridays through Sundays are free from other work and I would love to be able to take care of your pets, especially your dogs! I have a spacious home where your pet can feel free to roam and rest. I also have many trails I can take them on walks. There is also a spacious park area where we can play around if that's what your dog prefers! If I am coming to your home, I am more than happy to walk them short or long distances, play with them, or tend to any other pet needs!
“Anna was absolutely fantastic! She checked in on our cat Teddy everyday while we were out of town. She sent the best pictures and was really good at communicating. He is a typical sassy kitty and she was very patient and sweet to him. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“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!”
“Jason communicated beyond expectation when dropping in to feed and walk my dog. Jason was kind enough to meet ahead of time to do a quick walk through and get the key. Thank you Jason for your diligence!”
“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 :)”
“Brianna was so responsive and accommodating. She took great care of my cat and sent photos and even a sweet video. You could see that Brianna cared and did a great job! Thank you so much!”

Marta S.Star Sitter
“I have known Marta for many years. I recalled when she got her German Shepherd poppy named Bruno. She always took great care of him - she took him for long walks, played with him, took care of his veterinarian visits. She loved him very much and considered Bruno as part of her family. Besides her own dog, she has a genuine love for other animals. I have 3 dogs myself and whenever she visits me, she is so friendly to my dogs - loves to cuddle with them and play around with them. My dogs love Marta! I would have no problem for her taking care of my dogs. I can count on her - she is very friendly, trustworthy, and responsible. If she takes care of your pet, know that it is in good hands.”

Long Grove pet parents share their Rover experiences
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!
Claudia has been an absolute lifesaver this past month. She’s easy to coordinate with, incredibly responsible, and her visit summaries are thoughtful and detailed. Reading her drop-in reports is always a highlight of my day. Thank you, Claudia, for taking such great care of our dog!
