2. Jazz B.
“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 😊”

10. Erica S.
“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.”

14. Alex C.
About: Managed a private dog walking service that served clientele throughout Chicago for over seven years. Well-trusted and frequently called on by clients to housesit and fulfill other errands as needed. I currently have open availability as I take self-paced, online courses through my university. Working for Rover while attending school remotely has given me a great amount of flexibility to make my own schedule day-to-day. I have worked with a variety of breeds from Maltipoos to Alaskan Malamutes, and I can adapt to meet the needs of your pet. I have plenty of experience working with difficult dogs that require extra attention and care, and I’m happy to take on any extra measures you need to feel secure in your choice of dog walker.
15. Courtney S.
“First Rover experience and could not have been better. Courtney sent pictures and updates like clockwork which I really appreciated! It was a completely last minute request and very happy that she was able to do it. Would recommend to anyone!”
16. Raquel F.
About: I have been in the dog sitting/walking business for several years on 'WAG!' prior to starting my journey here on ‘Rover’. I have a 3 yr old Maltese/chihuahua mix who is full of energy and ready to make new friends, big or small! I’ve also previously boarded a cat for an entire summer, so I have a lot of experience with BOTH! I am currently working remote, so i'll have plenty of time to play, walk and tend to your dogs needs. I can accommodate any feeding schedule or special arrangements upon request. I live in a very safe, dog friendly neighborhood. There is also a park nearby in walking distance. My home is clean and the grass is well kept.
17. Brandi M.
“I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of care and kindness provided by Brandi! The dog walker and sitter assigned to care for my dog was both incredibly patient and attentive! My dog can be a bit anxious around new people, but I had no choice but to try to find the best sitter and she immediately put him at ease. She took the time to understand his needs and routine, which made a huge difference. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog (my son!!!) in her hands and could see how happy and relaxed he was after each walk and visit through my indoor security camera. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals really stood out, making both my dog AND I feel safe and confident. Highly recommend to any pet parent looking for trustworthy and compassionate care!”
18. Imani A.
“Imani A. would be a wonderful addition to the Rover family! She's never met a dog she didn't like and that didn't like her. She's an experienced pet owner and sitter, who will provide a safe and loving environment for your fur babies. Pet parents can rest assured knowing their little loves are in the best possible hands.”
19. Sydney M.
About: I’m a certified 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
20. Natalie K.
“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!”
