Jaymee was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond for our girls during a two week vacation! She understood their different personalities and gave our shy kitty enough space to feel safe. The cats were super well cared for and were happy when we got back. We are excited to use her again for our next trip!

Petrea was very efficient and Sweeeet. I’d never been away longer than a day with my kitty. This was a week and she was played with and fed well and got better every day with her fear. Pictures were sent to me every day. Came home to a healthy baby. Thank you Petrea. I’ll use her again for sure!

Amanda was an incredible help while I was away taking such great care of my cats! She went above and beyond, not only making sure they were well cared for but also leaving my home even cleaner than when she arrived. Her daily updates were so thoughtful and reassuring, giving me total peace of mind. Plus, she has such a great vibe—I feel like we’d get along so well in everyday life! Thank you so much, Amanda!

Emily is great. I can tell she really cares for animals and my dog (and fish) would agree. She’s punctual and shared plenty of picture updates while we were away. I definitely recommend Emily for your pet sitting needs! 😃

About: I've had dogs my whole life! When I was younger, I had a Maltese/Yorkie dog growing up. Now, I have a Husky/German Shepherd named Shiesty and a Pitbull/Bull Dog named Pooh. So, I'm used to small and larger dogs! I currently work for a deli meat company, that requires me to travel around the Rockford / North Central Illinois, adding a stop wouldn't cause any issues for me! For drop-in visits, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable, safe, and on their usual routine while you’re away. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean up any messes or litter boxes, and give them plenty of attention based on their personality, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just some calm companionship.

Joyce responded to our request for a sitter immediately, even with a day’s notice to start. She was extremely patient and caring with our old, particular dog and went out of her way to make sure our dog felt cared for and had fun while we were gone. We’d recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter!

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was young — I grew up in a family full of dogs and developed a love for caring for animals early on. Over the past four years, I’ve gained hands-on experience dog sitting pets of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs, as well as cats and even chickens! For the past year, I’ve also worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility, where I’ve learned how to safely handle dogs with a wide range of temperaments, energy levels, and needs. This experience has made me confident in reading animal behavior, creating a calm environment, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. I treat every pet like family and understand how important it is to know your furry friend is in caring, reliable hands. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm companion, I’m happy to provide personalized care that fits their needs! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time in the evenings, which gives me daytime availability to care for pets, provide walks, drop-in visits, and spend quality time with them throughout the week. I’m hoping to dedicate most weekdays to pet care and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, patience, and reliable care while their owners are away. At this time, I’m generally unavailable on weekends due to family obligations, but during the week I’m flexible and committed to providing dependable, loving care for your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make it my priority to keep their routine as comfortable and stress-free as possible. During drop-in visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, attention, and plenty of love and companionship. For dog walks, I make sure each dog gets safe, attentive exercise based on their energy level and needs. I understand how important pets are to their families, so I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would want for my own pets. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos while you’re away so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Zyaria is awesome! She is very responsive for questions and communicate very well about giving care of our pet. During her first visit, we had a little problem about getting inside of the house and she can't get hold of me because my phone wasn't on sight. She reached out to my bf and was very patient and helpful resolving the whole situation. My dog is a senior dog and requires some extra steps of care, and she handled it very well. I will definitely come to her for more care service in the future!

Definitely want to use Charley again. She bailed me out of a situation of needing someone immediately and came right out that evening to meet and get a key. Would highly recommend. She sent arrival and departure texts and pictures thruout visit. Always responded very quickly to messages I have left her. Kris

About: I’ll provide take their pet(s) on a 30 minute walk. Allow their pet(s) to get enough exercise. Provide food and water. I’ll also bathe their pet(s) if needed. I have open availability on weekends and sometimes during the weekdays. I really don’t have any special skills. I’m willing to get to know more about your pet(s). The only pet care experience that I have is from learning things about my own pet. I haven’t really pet sat in a while. I’m willing to learn more by pet sitting your pet(s). I look forward to meeting your pet(s) so that I can gain more experience. I understand that all dogs are not all the same which is why I would love to get more experience. It would help me learn more about your pet(s) and it’s needs.

Amanda stopped in to care for our furry “kids” yesterday. She did a great job of communicating with us while taking care of them. She even thought to leave the outside lights on for us as it would be dark when we returned home. Happy to say our search for a new pet sitter has had great results. We will not hesitate to book her again. Thanks Amanda?

Brittany was so easy and helpful to work with. She was super friendly and my reserved cat was happy to see her. I loved and pictures and communication while I was away. It really gave me a piece of mind that my kitty was safe and happy. This was my first time using Rover and I am very glad I chose to go with Brittany. I will use her again int he future!
