“Beth was exceptional with our cats. She kept in close communication while we were gone and gave regular updates. It was evident that the cats were comfortable with Beth; when we got home they showed no signs of stress or misbehavior. I would wholeheartedly recommend Beth to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”
“Jennifer was a wonderful caregiver and companion to our kitty. Detailed updates each day with fantastic pictures made our time away that much less stressful, knowing our kitty was in the right hands. We will absolutely look for Jennifer as our #1 choice next time we are out of town. Thank you to amazing Jennifer!!”
“Jason agreed to check in on the cats semi-last minute - and did a great job as usual! I definitely recommend him and will be hiring him for more cat care in the future!”
“As always, awesome! I feel so good knowing my George is in good hands. Makes me able to enjoy my vacation. Thank you for being so amazing, reliable and overall a wonderful person. Love the photos of George while I’m away too!”
“Christina was amazing!! We knew she was special when she got our very timid Bodhi to come out of hiding on her very first visit!! She sent lots of photos and updates, and our spoiled kitties were clearly very happy and pampered in her care. She made us feel a lot less guilty about leaving them, haha. We would highly recommend her, and would definitely have her look after our kitties again 😊”
“Christina is the best! My cat is very shy with most people but has really warmed up to her. Christina has gone above and beyond to make sure my cat is happy and entertained during her drop-in visits. This was my second time booking with Christina and I will definitely be doing so again!”
About: I have experience dog walking and dog sitting, most importantly making pets feel comfortable and loved in their temporary new home! I have also fostered kittens until they were ready to be adopted! I am currently at home studying for my graduate school entrance exam, so I’ll have plenty of time to spend playing with your pup! I am available to dog sit any day of the week. I have no other pets at home so your pet will receive all my love and attention! I live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for walks.
“Valerie is the best! We needed someone to look after our rabbit for the weekend and she was a huge help! She was a fast responder and provided us with pictures of the little guy each day so we wouldn't miss him too much. She was even nice enough to bring in our packages for us!!! Highly recommend Valerie.”
“Lindsay and her boyfriend were so sweet with my two kitties. They played with them and sent the sweetest pictures. They’re very kind and easy going and we’re flexible with our pick up time. Appreciate them!”
“Victoria was great with all 3 of my dogs. It tends to be a circus wrangling all 3, but she did an awesome job. Victoria is attentive to detail and great at communicating. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Had a really great experience with Deidre. As a nervous cat mom, she put my mind at ease while I traveled and made sure my cat was well taken care of in my absence. Plan to use her moving forward on my trips if she’s available!”
About: Hi! My name is Frances Irene. I joined Rover for my simple love of dogs and I enjoy nothing more than being outdoors with them. I have over 20 years of experience dog sitting, boarding and walking. I've cared for a variety of pets from dogs to cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish, and even rats. Yes rats! I raised my own dog for over 10 years, so I understand the importance of keeping pets on a regimented schedule of food, water and walks as well as providing them with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I'm trained on proper leash and walking techniques and I have experience administering eye and ear drops as well as medications. I have a patient, loving and gentle demeanor. I'm also comfortable being assertive, giving direction and taking the lead. I have a playful disposition and I'm not afraid to get a little dirty :) I enjoy being active and playing fetch, running in the park, or playing tug of war. If your pups will join me I often take dogs for a little run, but if they prefer to lay around all day and get belly rubs we can do that too! From big dogs to little ones, from a lot of energy to low key, I enjoy caring for them all. I am compassionate, kind, respectful, honest, and hard working. Your pet's care and safety is my number one priority ❤. I look forward to caring for your pet companions soon! Frances I'm available for one-time and recurring dog sitting services. During my stay I would care for all of your pet's needs including but not limited to walking, feeding, playing, and providing any medications if needed. During my stay I can take dogs out for short and long walks, runs as well as let them out in a fenced in back yard. I can also take pets to the dog park or the beach if they are good listeners, gentle around other dogs and well behaved.

Frances K.
“Frances is a wonderfully compassionate person and intuitive with animals. My terrier is a nervous little man but warmed up to Frances instantly (a big deal for him) and wanted her to lead him on the leash. Pippin, (my terrier) can have leash aggression with bikes from time to time and Frances is able to compassionately and firmly handle his energy. Her energy is patient and I trust Frances 100% with my fur babies. Tiger, my cat enjoys her company and if we were still living in Chicago she would be my go-to person for our pets care.”
Mettawa cat parents share their Rover experiences
Anna was just wonderful! She came for drop-in visits and looked after my dog and cat while we were gone for 8 days. I looked forward to seeing the photos of my sweet dog on his walks and I couldn’t believe my extremely shy cat made appearances for photos, too! We were relaxed on our vacation knowing our pets were well looked after. Thank you so very much, Anna!
