“I love Mariah she is the best she communicates a lot with me about the safety of my baby any questions she has she also updates me on everything if my baby is eating or not if she uses the bathroom she also lets me know when she is on the way to my house when she leaves and where she leaves all my baby stuff she goes above and beyond ur missing out if u don’t book with her”


“We were very hesitant using Rover for the first time. Gianna made the process very easy for us, and even wanted to meet our dog before officially booking her. Our dog loves her and was very comfortable. Gianna went above and beyond in every way, and get little assistant was very enthusiastic to take meet Mochi 😂 The first booking went great and I am confident that we will be booking her again 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 😊”


“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.”


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.

“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: 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.

Old Plank Trail is around the corner too if your baby enjoys long walks. My home does have stairs but the first floor has more than enough space for an older or heavier dog. Your baby would be free to get comfortable in our home and enjoy family time with us but don't worry, I’ll return him or her when it's time to go but they might have a new nickname. I look can do walks and daycare if you are interested. If you are looking for specific services please reach out directly.

I also have crates and security gates if your dog prefers their own space. Each dog has their own designated area for feeding as well.

About: I've owned a total of four dogs, and I currently have two rescue dogs, a seven year old pittie named Ninja and a nine year old rottie named Amir. They aren't just my pets, they're my sons, and I'll treat yours like family too! I sit for several family members and friends too! I am self employed with a flexible schedule. I strive to keep my calendar updated. I am able to accommodate most requests, even onshort notice. I am timely, detail oriented, and friendly. As a dog owner who travels frequently, I know how difficult it can be to find a trustworthy sitter. You'll have peace of mind knowing that I'll take great care of your place and your pup!


“Very nervous in the beginning with this being my first time using this service however from day one I realized I chose the right person to watch over my babies. She was on point with taking good care of Maggie and CoCo. She consistently kept me informed everyday of their care and also sent pictures to show how well they were doing. They were very happy and in good condition when I arrived home. If given the chance I will request 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.

“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!”

Raniyah B.
“Raniyah's dedication to my dog, Oreo, has been amazing. When it came down to taking care of Oreo, she was able to get up in the morning and take her for a walk.

Her love for animals really warms my heart because all dogs need love, and she most definitely shows the dogs all the affection they deserve. I have complete peace of mind knowing my dog is in good hands.”

Matteson pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mariah is incredible with our dogs Micah and Judah! Mariah and Micah were fast friends but Judah was cautiously optimistic. She soon won Judah over and I'm so comfortable with her caring for our boys in our home. Mariah has great experience, she's very professional and most of all she loves animals. I would highly recommend Mariah.

Kiana took great care of my 5 cats while I was gone for 10 days. She sent me daily updates and photos of my cats. She took the time to play with them. She followed my feeding and cleaning instructions to the letter. My house looked exactly as it did when I left. I will no longer hesitate to go out of town now that I know I can reach out to Kiana.

Sammi is very attentive. She listened to and followed through with the tasks requested, even when I had a tendency to change a few ideas from time to time. I definitely felt a lot more comfortable going on my trip with her watching my cats. There are also many other positives I can point out such as her having excellent communication, keeping up with updates, having exceptional people skills (which is still needed when dealing with pets) and truly making an effort to take care of my cats and ensure they and I were comfortable. I appreciated this greatly.
