“Bradley did a great job following the instructions during the visits with detail. I was impressed with how he handled my dog being over 100 pounds by establishing himself as a friendly presence before interactions. Highly recommend this young man for future opportunities.”
“Eleanor is terrific! She was very conscientious about knowing how to administer my cats’ medicines. When I returned from my trip, my house was as orderly as when I left it. Most importantly, she has a real affinity for animals. My cats loved her. One of them is very reserved but I could tell from the notes and pictures she posted on Rover that he warmed up to her very quickly. I felt very comfortable having left my cats in her capable hands.”
“I was away camping for a week with minimal internet and Emily left the best detailed updates with great pictures. I looked forward to her visit every day!”
About: I grew up around and taking care of all kinds of animals including cats, dogs, rabbits, mice, rats, guinea pigs, fish, and various reptiles and farm animals! I currently have one dog that I dote on full-time. I work from home and am centrally located, which makes it easy for me to do midday drop-ins on my lunch break and right after my workday ends. I am the go-to pet sitter for many of my friends and family members and am patient and understanding with animals who are shy or have anxiety.
“Very professional! I did not have time to meet her in person before the holiday, but she was very pleasant and kind over a video chat! She kept my little kitty very happy and I am glad to have booked her”
“Jose did an amazing job with Marley! I was able to leave an entire week without having to worry once. Was always on time and walked my dog to the park every time. Marley loved Jose, so much so Marley was playing fetch with sticks which I’ve never seen him do! Jose also took amazing pictures at every check in”
“Barbara was extremely great with my 2 cats. They usually aren’t friendly and like to hide but they warmed up to her! You can tell she really cares! I’ll definitely rebook for my next vacation!”
“Highly recommend Nina! She is communicative, understanding, pleasant, friendly, honest, and flexible. She took care of my cat for 4 days and was prompt with her check-in details. My cat loved her and we cannot wait to hire her again!”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—whether it’s for a quick walk, overnight stay, or just some extra playtime. With a calm, caring approach and a love for all animals, I’m committed to keeping your pet happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. You can count on reliable updates, attention to detail, and plenty of tail wags! I currently work full time as an emergency room technician at a local hospital. I would love to spend my days off with your animals! When caring for pets at their home, I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and given lots of affection—just like you would. I also keep their environment clean and safe, whether that means refreshing water bowls, scooping litter, or tidying up after playtime. I provide updates with photos so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands.
“We were first time rover users for our cat Selene. Amanda was very kind and patient with us as I was all over the place with our trip. Our kitty hid each time she visited but was fed, watered and her box scooped! We will certainly book again the next time we have a trip planned! 😁”
About: Friends and family members have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones for as long as I can remember. Our furry friends deserve just as much love and care as we do. I work from home three days out of the week, so I am able to care for pets during the day. I am also incredibly available throughout the weekends and each weeknight. I maintain a consistent daily routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep pets feeling secure and comfortable. I keep clients updated with photos and updates on their pets' well-being, so they can feel confident that their furry friend is in good hands. I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for pets to roam, play, and relax. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. Pets receive lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I offer enrichment activities like toys and outdoor walks.
About: I was raised by a vet who would take care of a variety of animals including dogs in our home so I have a lifetime of experience communicating and caring for them. I have generally been able to get even the most aggressive, timid and fearful dogs to warm up to me eventually with no issues. I also know how to safely break up dog fights, but more importantly, I know how to keep an eye out for signs to prevent them in the first place. I have experience caring for blind dogs, sick dogs, physically disabled dogs, puppies, seniors, and even dogs that think they are cats! I love being active so if your dog is high energy, then we are a perfect match. I work full time but remote so I have a very flexible schedule during the day and am usually available nights and weekends at any time. I live next door to Washington park and often take my own dog to the fenced in tennis court when they're not in use so he can securely play off-leash.

Mansion Area pet parents share their Rover experiences
Anna went above and beyond for my 3 cats, even only charging me for the 1 she was feeding (special diet) yet gave the other two special attention as well. I loved all the pictures I received, the update texts, and I never felt nervous knowing she’d be there to make sure they were okay. I will definitely be booking her again if we go on another trip in the future and i’d recommend her highly to anyone I know 💗
