“April is a very nice person, patient with the animals, respectful of our home and communicated with us when needed. This was our first time using Rover or ever having someone watch our pets (and home) ! April made us feel at ease and we appreciate her time. We recommend and we will hire again if she’s available.”
“Diane is a gem! We have 2 Little Havanese pups and When she comes over, she sits on the floor so the dogs get comfy. She obviously loves dogs. We were traveling for 4 days and She sent us photos everyday with a short text of what they did. Also-when we got home -the condo was pristine. We will be happy to contract her again!”

About: I have been around dogs and cats my whole life. My previous dogs were a Dalmatian named Player, a Beagle named Phoebe, a Boxer named Spot, and our current dog Phil, who is a Maltese I love to take long walks, whether in a neighborhood or in the forest preserve, or just sit on the couch and snuggle with a dog or cat. It’s so therapeutic, isn’t it… "I'm currently taking a break from the hustle of the corporate world. As part of my daily routine, I enjoy getting outside for a walk and exploring. Having a dog along makes the experience even more enjoyable. I believe pets are like children. They need to be loved, kept safe and be given opportunities to walk, run, play, meet other pets and most importantly get outside. Our Maltese Phil has a big fenced-in back yard to play in and always has someone to cuddle with him
“Gaby was excellent. She was very detailed, kind and went above and beyond to make sure that was taken care of while I was out for a week. Gaby was punctual, asked many questions to get to know Tati better, and was very communicative with me. I had to find a sitter in less than 48 hours and she was very flexible, made time to meet Tati, and the process went super smoothly. She always kept me in the loop and asked questions when needed. I highly recommend Gaby to anyone who is looking for a sitter for their pet.”
“Alex was quick to respond to all inquiries, sent updates and pics of my Kashmir. She is pretty timid of men in general but quickly warmed up to Alex. He took extra care as she is recovering from her double ACL surgery and was on restrictions. A+++”
About: I have 18 years of animal care experience, including my beloved dog Belle, who was part of the family for 11 years before she went to doggy heaven. I worked at a veterinary center for 2 years and a doggy daycare, so I know exactly how to care for every type of dog. I also have experience with dog walking and doing house visits - just my first time using Rover! As far as training experience, I interned at the Shedd Aquarium working alongside dolphin, otter, and penguin trainers so I even have a stash of knowledge about animal training. I have a Bachelor of Science in animal sciences, so I understand your pets inside and out. I have a lot more experience with animal care that I would love to share, just send me a message! Sundays and Mondays are usually open. During the week, I'm mostly available for evening drop-in visits and walks after 5pm or so, but I may have some flexibility so feel free to ask! I always treat my clients' homes with respect. Locking the door back while I walk your dog, cleaning up any messes, and sticking to task are all part of my routine. Because of my years of animal care experience, I am trained to look for abnormal behaviors in pets and follow-up. I provide photos and messages with updates so you never have to worry if everything is alright. Currently, I do not own any pets of any kind so you don't have to worry about your pet interacting with any other animals.
“Grace was fantastic as usual. Cooper was so excited to see her again because he knows he will be well taken care of with lots of snuggles and attention!”
“My husband and I have been using Rover for a few years now and have found wonderful pet sitters. However Julia and Eric truly go above and beyond! They took wonderful care of our older dogs while we were away, and sent the best photos and videos. I’ve never felt so at ease knowing our dogs were in such good hands. Thank you Julia and Eric, we’ll for sure rebook in the future!”
“I am happy I found LizaMarie, I was out town for about 2 weeks and I needed to find someone that can spend quality time with Pipa, take her for walks while staying at my place. She communicates well, asked the right questions, and ensured Pipa was fine while I was gone. I highly recommend her.”

17. Daveenah G.
“I love Daveenah! I met her from the vet that she worked at that I used to bring my cat and dog to. She brought up how she also does in-home care and walks and I've been using her services regularly. I have a 68lb Golden and a DSH and they both love her...maybe more than me. After walks, my dog comes back nice and tired, and having gone potty. My cat also gets fed and played with which tires her out too. I feel safe knowing that my pets are with someone who is kind, experienced, and loves my pets like I do. I promise that going with Daveenah will be a great choice. Highly recommend.”
