3. Petrea W.

“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!”


4. Jaymee D.

“Jaymee was wonderful. One of my cats started on two new medications between the meet-and-greet and my trip. Jaymee was on board with giving the pills and watching for worsening symptoms. Kitties were happy during my trip and when I got home. Thank you Jaymee!”

6. Isabel M.

“This was my first time using Rover for my dog, I was a little nervous about my dog not being cared for by family. But Isabel was so kind and friendly. She sent me messages and pictures of my Oliver when I was away. I was so impressed by this service. I know my dog is a handful but he seemed very happy the whole weekend. I will absolutely recommend Isabel!! I hope she is available to help next time I am out of town. Thank you so much Isabel!!!”


7. Kayla A.

“I really appreciate Kayla taking care of my cats! My cats are happy to have someone check in on them, and I’m always happy with the cute pictures I receive too. I would recommend her services.”


8. Zyaria R.

“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!”


9. Brittany T.
“Brittany has a dog and two cats that she loves! I’ve also had Brittany watch my dogs and cats and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my animals. Brittany loves and cares for other animals as if they were her own.”


10. Mariela F.

“She was amazing. She was able to even get my two shy dogs out & back in their crates. I got put in the hospital & she came right away. Will definitely use her again.”


11. Amanda V.
“Amanda has a heart for all animals. As far as her personal pets? Beyond amazing. She makes sure all of her pets get the best food and treats toys and vet care. She is very conscientious and on top of her pets needs. She is looking into this option so that her dogs can have exercise and care when she is unavailable. I would never hesitate to have Amanda help me with any of the care of my animals.”


12. Joyce S.

“I was very pleased with Joyce as my sitter for Kira. She was ver gentle toward Kira who shys away from people. Joyce got Kira to come out of hiding & eat! She also cleaned up her messes! I appreciated the videos & pictures she sent. I would use Joyce again.”

15. Brittany & Branson S.


“They did a great job taking care of my cat, Erika, who was not very happy about us leaving for a few days. Brittany sent me a picture of Erika each day, even when she was being uncooperative and trying to hide. She was responsive to text messages and kept me updated. I definitely recommend Brittany and Branson!”


16. Lety G.

“Lety is amazing! Especially on such short notice, she was able to drop by and care for my Maverick when I wasn't able to get home at my normal time. She really does go above and beyond.”


17. Sumer J.
“Sumer is the best dog sitter! Our two German Shepherd's love her. She treats them like her own, and she is the first dog sitter we've had that I don't feel the need to check in on multiple times while we are away. Punctual, easy to communicate with, follows the needs of our doggos. Highly recommend!”

About: Animal lover in Machesney Park with 50+ years pet experience. Flexible schedule. Experience with and love for all types of pets. Contact me to discuss how I can be of service to your fur baby!

About: I have had dogs of many breeds my whole life. I have plenty of love and patience to give any animal I take care of. I'm not working, so I have plenty of time to care for someone's furry pet. I love giving animals the love and attention they give us. I keep my dog on a routine. She gets plenty of time for potty and playtime. We spend evenings doing snuggle time, belly rubs, and a snack.
