“We loved Gianna as our cat sitter! She is so sweet and attentive. We went out of town for two weeks and she cared for 4 cats and goldfish while we were away. She sent detailed reports each visit which helped us know our pets were in good hands (and helped our kiddos when they were missing them). She even kept an eye on it place, bringing in packages and such. We'll def be booking her again!”


“Jazz was so very awesome. This was the first time we used Rover and she was a definite awesome choice for our cats. We had a video call before to discuss everything and make sure we both knew what was to be expected. I got a text and photos and video of her visit with the cats, so my mind was more at ease. We will definitely recommend and rebook Jazz 😊”



“Amanda Y was excellent. She made time to meet my cat first before I hired her to drop in visits with my precious baby. Amanda kept in touch with me with all drop in visits. Amanda also sent me pictures of .y cat when I was out of town. This way I felt content my cat was ok. Excellent.”


“Erica has babysat our cat Domino in our home several times now. Domino is a cat that we took several months to rescue earlier this year. Consequently, she is shy and a bit skittish around new people. She bonded with Erica almost immediately! Erica has two cats of her own, so she knows a lot about them and their finicky nature. Erica has a warm and caring nature that comes across in the way that she communicates with Domino. She calls Domino her niece! Erica is fastidious with Domino’s litter box and feeds her twice daily. She sends us regular posts and updates regarding Domino’s antics. Erica spends time with Domino and plays with her. We miss Domino when we are gone, but never worry that she will be too lonely without us. We feel secure when we are away. We trust Erica with having the keys to our home. We have the utmost confidence that Erica will take great care of our fur baby.”


About: I have extensive experience in pet care, having spent several years looking after a variety of animals including dogs, cats, and small pets. My responsibilities have included feeding, grooming, administering medication, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes and cages, and providing companionship to ensure each pet feels safe and loved. I understand the importance of routine, patience, and attention to detail when it comes to animal care. Whether caring for energetic puppies or senior pets with special needs, I always prioritize their well-being, comfort, and happiness. Pet care is a natural and consistent part of my daily routine. Since I’m available every day, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, grooming, or simply spending quality time with them, I make sure every task is done with care and patience. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust easily to last-minute needs or extended care, which helps build trust with both pets and their owners. Being fully available means I can maintain a reliable and steady routine that keeps pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. I care for pets in their own home to ensure they stay comfortable in a familiar environment. When I visit a client’s home, I follow their specific care instructions closely. I make sure to keep the pet’s routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress while their owner is away. I’m respectful of the home, always keeping things clean and organized, and I stay in touch with owners through updates and photos so they know their pets are safe, happy, and well-cared for.

“Emmi was great! She has tons of experience caring for cats and was comfortable administering medications to our two older cats…who don’t always love taking their meds. We loved getting lots of cute pictures and detailed reports after every visit.”



“Bayli far outdid herself taking care of my furbabies. They got a little rambunctious while their humans were away and created a bit of a mess, with knocking items over and what not. Bayli cleaned up the mess and vacuumed up their sheddings(long hair cats). Not only would I highly recommend her, I will always use her to take care of my littles in the furture!!”



About: For the past ten years, I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of canine and feline companions, from energetic puppies and kittens to serene senior dogs and cats. My approach is always rooted in patience and love, ensuring every animal feels comfortable and cared for. I have extensive experience in administering medications, a testament to my ability to handle sensitive situations with gentleness and precision. My dedication extends to understanding the unique needs of each animal, fostering a trusting and supportive environment for all. I’m currently working from home and have a lot of flexibility to provide pet sitting in my home , dog walking and drop in visits. I have a gated yard. I can crate your furry friend if needed. I always use a Lesh when walking. I will follow your pet schedules just the way you would at home. I will provide plenty of one on one play time. I am constantly sanatizing and cleaning my home to keep your fur baby safe

“Kendyll worked really hard to win over our skiddish dog. He is very afraid of new people, and she was patient with him and worked with him to get him to trust her. Really appreciated having her with him!”



“Kiana did an awesome job taking care of my pets for 8 days while I was on vacation. This is the first time that I have used Rover and it was great. I have three cats, a bunny, and a hamster. Kiana sent me pictures after each visit and my pets seemed to be happy when I got back home!”


About: I’ve own a pet since I was 5. I had all types: dogs ( small - large), cats, rabbit, turtles, fish, bird, gecko. I loved them all. Taking care of animals gives me joy and great experience to be a veterinarian. I have a flexible schedule. I am currently a school bus driver; weekends I’m available from dusk to dawn. In the summer I’m available for any task you need for your wonderful pet(s). My neighbor is safe and pet friendly. However, I prefer caring for a pet where they’re most comfortable in their neighborhood. ( If I have permission from the owner).

About: I have cared for a pet since I was 12. Have had dogs, cats, gerbils and cared for ferrets, hamsters, piranha and snakes. No pet is unlovable. I can walk, feed, or bathe your little one😊 I work overnight Monday through Friday, so I am available mornings for walking/ feeding, checking in on pets. I can also pet sit in weekends. Due to fostering a pit bull mix at this time, no boarding I am a wife, mom to three, foster mom to one and cat mom to two. Very dependable and will respect your home as I do my own.

About: I’m a dog groomer in Illinois- looking forward to getting my cat grooming certification. Currently have experience handling breeds of all sizes and temperaments. I’ll treat your babies like my babies! I work full time but I have plenty of time in the mornings and am done with work before 6pm on most days! Would be able to dedicate my full nights and mornings to your animals ❤️ When I am in a pet parent’s home I am very mindful of the rules and routines they set for their pets. I am there to not only keep the routines-but also make the pets feel comfy, loved, and safe when their families are away

“Originally, we had booked Natalie for the Christmas weekend but had to cancel because of the weather. She was very understanding. Fast forward to last Thursday night, where I had completely forgotten that we were going to be out of town for the weekend, but thankfully she was available to come feed our 2 cats. She sent pictures with each visit, and they seemed to love playing with her, even our shy kitty! We will definitely book her again!”


About: I love animals. I have owned a horse, birds and fish. Although I never owned a dog or cat, Friends and family have always asked me to pet sit and I have always been more than happy to ablige. As a former letter Carrier, my favorite customers were four-legged. I am retired and want to stay active. Who can keep you more fit and active than a dog that is waiting for a walk-date? When I have dog sat, I usually go for multiple walks. I can walk all day. The dogs love it and it makes them tired. Animals need mental stimulation outside of their house or yard just like people. I try to find things to keep us both busy and happy.
