“Thank you to Jaclyn for taking the last minute booking. We really appreciate her and the great care that she took of our Bunny & Howie and our home. Jaclyn sent us updates and photos which we love to see while we are away. We will absolutely book Jaclyn again. :)”

“Amanda took care of our three cats while we were away. She kept us in the know of what was going on at home. Leaving parts of your family is stressful but having Amanda check in on them made our travel stress free! Thank you Amanda!”

“Trederica was wonderful! Kept me updated with pictures every visit & accommodated all my needs when it came to my fur baby, would absolutely book her again.”

“I have booked with Christina twice and she is great! I trust her with my babies. She got my one slow to trust cat to cuddle with her, which is the ultimate sign to me. I will definitely book with her in the future”

“I was so lucky to get Keri as my pet sitter! My cats loved her and I received so many pictures and updates! As much as I hate leaving for several days, I didn’t have to worry because Keri was so good to my kitties💛 Truly phenomenal and reliable sitter.”

About: Hi! I’m Camille, and if there’s a dog at a party, that’s probably who I’m talking to. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal is different. Some pets want nonstop playtime, some want cuddles, and some prefer their space. I take the time to learn what makes your pet comfortable and happy. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop in visit, or company while you’re away, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. Expect lots of updates, photos, and communication so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is simple: a happy pet, a stress free owner, and plenty of tail wags along the way. 🐾💕 Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. As a server, I’m used to being active, managing my time efficiently, and staying attentive to the needs of others in a fast-paced environment. My work schedule gives me flexibility during certain parts of the day, allowing me to dedicate time to walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so pet care is a natural fit for me. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any household rules to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owner is away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe in my care. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I have cared for, fostered and rehomed many furry friends over the past 9 years. I have experience with kittens, puppies as well as adult dogs and cats. I give lots of pats, scratches and cuddles (if they are so inclined). I enjoy fetch, Lazer tag and long walks just as much as your fur baby does. I currently work part time and I create my own schedule. When I'm taking care of your family member they'll have my full undevided attention. I'm not currently available on the weekends. I respect your space. When i am visiting your home, you can relax knowing I'm going to provide the best care for your darling baby.
“Haeley is fantastic! She is tremendously compassionate and attentive. Harley exudes kindness in the way she communicates about my pets. It’s a gift having that peace of mind that my pets are in such good hands.”


About: I've taken care of dogs & cats for over 10 years my family friends and neighbors rely on me to care for their animals when they're gone to drop by even if it's just to keep them company and check on them these animals are my babies I believe that animals are Soul too or not just animals I'm currently looking for part-time and some weekends I'm usually available every other day after 2:00 p.m. if I don't have a doctor's appointment or something like that my schedule is very flexible but I need 24 hours notice if I'm going to do a sit Well I live in my apartment with my cat Sophie we have a routine every morning she gets her treats interaction she gets brushed and then I have my morning routine I won't be taking any pets into my home because Sophie is just not used to that so I would have to drop into your home or spend the day or whatever you and I agree upon
“Super friendly and nonjudgemental about the fact that I haven’t been able to clean my litter often enough due to chronic pain. Went above and beyond by carrying more than just the litter trash out behind the back of the building to the dumpster.”


About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10! I’ve always had 3-4 pets at a time so I understand the high/low maintenance, the picky eaters, and the ones that need medical assistance. I personally have dogs that have medical issues and have to make sure their needs are met constantly. I’ve worked on a farm so I have great experience with all types of animals. Neighbors and friends rely on me #1 to walk, play, feed, and take care of their pets. I currently work part time. I will have plenty of time during the day to play, feed, walk your pups! I’m an early bird so if you’re looking for someone early in the mornings, I’m your girl! I will follow whatever your protocol is for your pets! I want them to feel as comfortable as possible with me. I look forward to meeting all of your furry friends!
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes since I can remember. Dog poop, hairballs, slobber…not grossed out, will clean it all. We recently lost our 17-year-old chihuahua, so I have experience caring for a senior pet as well. I’m a freelance creative, working from home with a very flexible schedule. I can easily shift my day around to meet your pet care needs! I am a sucker for instructions and will follow them to a T. Your pet(s) will get my undivided attention, love, and care. And, with your permission, I love to take photos of your pets and share them with you to add a little bright spot to your day.

“Dana responded promptly to a last-minute request for a drop-in, and did a great job. He provided photos and a helpful description of the visit--I would definitely ask him to walk my dog again.”

About: I have grown up loving animals. Owning my own and helping with others. I have done house sitting and walking to care for dogs and cats. I am currently working part time so I will have more availability to walk your fur babies whether you need a morning or afternoon walk i will be able to spend time with your pups. I will ensure your pet’s safety with secure leashes, constant supervision, traffic awareness, gentle handling, and avoidance of hazards—providing a calm, protected and fun walking experience for your fur babies.

Melrose Park cat parents share their Rover experiences
Nikki was very responsive and took the time to come by for a meet-and-greet before the service began. She did a wonderful job caring for our two cats while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. We would absolutely book with her again in the future.

Christina is so sweet. I made the best decision ever when I booked her to drop in and feed my crew on the afternoon of my surgery. It was a huge weight off my mind knowing I didn't have to worry about my kitties being cared for while I was still on an anesthesia stupor! Looking forward to booking her again!

My weird cats and I adore Allie. I volunteered at a couple of shelters / rescues and truly have some quirky cats, but Allie acted like they were as normal as they come. She was not fazed by their individual eating preferences, oral meds, and sometimes cranky attitudes. Allie also sent daily updates with photos and I have not felt this at ease traveling in a very long time. I'm sure Allie is excellent with dogs, but if you are looking for someone who is amazing with cats, this is your sitter!
