“Marianne went above and beyond to make our shy kitty, Sushi, comfortable and happy. We will definitely book her again as she was so attractive to both our pet and our home. She was communicative, flexible, friendly, and thoughtful. Thank you so much, Marianne. You were perfection!!”
“Jennifer has been great with my cat Tito!! He is normally shy to new people and it took him no time to warm up to her. She always makes sure to update me with photos and videos each visit!”
“Genesis was so great! She was very detailed and sent a lot of pictures. She kept us updated. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone in need.”
“Krystal was absolutely amazing. Very respectful, attentive, friendly and works very well with dogs. I know a great person when I meet one and she carries amazing energy, highly recommend!”
“Bianca was an awesome pet sitter! So happy we found her. 😊 Our two babies loved how she played with them and always made certain that they had fun. We will definitely use her again. 👍 Highly recommend 👌”
“I feel so fortunate to have found Andrea to take care of my cat Misses when I was away for a few days. I was so grateful for the sweet pictures she sent me, and everything she did to keep me at ease. We are definitely looking forward to working with her again soon. Thanks so much! 😻”
“Heather is absolutely attentive, professional and reliable. She has a way with my dog. It must be because she has so much dog experience, is so caring, and has a background in healthcare. I know I can rely on her. She sends the best videos and pictures. I hope we continue to work together for a long time!”
“Estefania has cared for my boys several times and is wonderful with updates and making sure they are great while I'm away. I highly recommend and will continue booking her services!”
“Alyssa has been amazing with our one year old German Shepherd. He’s very sensitive and needs some patience, TLC, and understanding. Alyssa has a calming energy matched with leadership and good animal intuition that our GSD has responded remarkably quickly to. Alyssa came over for a meet n greet - took the time to learn his quirks, training, and personality then came over again for a one on one walk. Our GSD runs away, barks, and hides when new people try to clip his leash but she sent a pic twenty minutes later on a walk with him. We were not only impressed with her care, demeanor, and skill but also extremely grateful/relieved to have found a sitter like Alyssa. Highly recommend her for all dog sitting needs and breeds!”
About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and love giving them the attention, playtime, and care they need. I’m great with puppies, follow care instructions closely, and always treat pets like family. I’m currently in between jobs and have a very open, flexible schedule. I’m looking for something meaningful to fill my time and what better way than spending it with dogs! I don’t have one of my own right now, so I’d love the chance to care for yours and give them all the love and attention they deserve. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I make sure pets are always in a safe, clean, and calm environment. I follow all care instructions closely, keep a close eye on them during walks or playtime, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always prioritize their well-being.
“Thank you again!!! You were so prompt to reply to our request again and so lovely with our babies, thank you! We’ll definitely be reaching out again :))”
“Dawn is amazing! Our formal introduction was at a local coffee shop and it was immediate she was PURRFECT to take care of my not-to-social indoor cat. We passed by my house to introduce her to Tuxie (my cat) and I was surprised Tuxie responded to Dawn. While I was away, Dawn sent me pictures, which makes me at ease. Highly recommend and I’ve already booked her again! ???”
About: Hi, I’m Kennedy! I’ve cared for pets in all kinds of homes, from cozy cabins in Montana to sunny apartments here in Florida.

I keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable by following their usual routines and giving them plenty of love and attention. In your home, I respect your space and keep doors and gates secure. In my home, I provide a cozy spot, fresh water, and a safe environment free from hazards. You’ll always get updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands.

Kennedy O.
“I have know Kennedy since she was born. She had grown up to be a very smart and responsible woman. She loves animals and had several growing up. She knows how to be kind and loving to all of them. She has house sat for me, and took care of my three dogs and cat as if they were her own. She walked them and cleaned up after them. When I got home, all the animals were happy and healthy. Something, I can't say about a kennel. I highly recommend Kennedy to animal sit for you.”

Melrose Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Gaia was so kind and understanding of my babies needs. They immediately responded to her arrival with happy, wagging tails! They really love her! She took pictures and shared them with us, she had no problem asking us questions, and is just truly a reliable, honest and sweet person. Will continue to book her!!!
This is the second time that I’ve used Camilla from Rover to watch my babies and once again, she did a fabulous job. She was even willing to help out when my flight got canceled until the next day. My pets were well taken care of, I received a report card with pictures after every visit and I came home to happy pets. Thank you until next time….
If I could give 100 stars…. I would. Alina was amazing with my girly!! I’m a first time dog mom who works 12 hour shifts and I felt terrible leaving my 3 year old baby alone without a potty break for that long. Alina came to the rescue! Although a shy and nervous girl, I could tell she trusted Alina to take care of her. She talked to her very gently and gave her all the love she could. I HIGHLY recommend Alina’s services!!!
Kayla dropped in on my two cats a few times over the weekend. She was reliably there at just the right time and left my house in great condition, and the cats seemed calm and happy when we returned. She sent pictures and videos, which I loved. Communication was easy and fast. I would recommend Kayla and will ask her to watch my cats again!
I can't say enough good things about Bret! Thor absolutely adores them — tail wags as soon as they show up! They’re always on time, super communicative, and clearly love what they do. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone reliable and kind to care for their fur baby!
Simone will take excellent care of your pet! He treated my kitties like they were his. Sent pics everyday of them and their litter boxes. He went above and beyond and I am very grateful. Very trustworthy and committed. Finally I can go on vacation and have peace of mind that my babies are well taking care of.
