“Jennifer was wonderful with the cats and to work with. She kept us well informed, cared for the cats, and was a pleasure to work with. We will absolutely use her, again.”
“Beth is so wonderful with my cats. They are so happy when she comes! I really appreciate how reliable she is and completely trust her caring for them. I highly recommend Beth. Thank you!”
“Jason communicated beyond expectation when dropping in to feed and walk my dog. Jason was kind enough to meet ahead of time to do a quick walk through and get the key. Thank you Jason for your diligence!”
“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 😊”
“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!”
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.
“Christina did such a great job taking care of our cat, Sox. It's clear that she is very knowledgeable about animal behavior, and it allowed us to have a worry-free trip. I especially enjoyed her clever and informative updates, the pictures she sent at each visit, and the fun video of Sox at play. He was happy to see us when we returned, and he showed no evidence of stress whatsoever. Christina proved to be very reliable, and I would not hesitate to ask her to check in on Sox the next time we're away!”
“Valerie really did a great job and was patient working with Finn. He can sometimes be a bit stubborn wanting to keep playing outside but she did so great getting him in and out. She’s very kind and punctual and worked well with our high energy pup.”
“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!”
“Shannon was awesome with Charley. She is super friendly, easy to communicate with, and clearly loves animals. She sent daily photos and updates which is greatly appreciated. Will definitely book again!”
“Lindsay is the best. She is dependable and my dog is always so happy when she comes around. I know he is not lonely and is taken care of when Lindsay is there!”
“Kimberly was such a great sitter to watch our puppy! She was very communicative with updates during her short visit, making sure she pottied and had plenty of playtime. We would absolutely work with Kimberly again to take care of our dog.”
About: Dog walking since high school. Love all breeds (frenchies, doodles, beagles especially) and ages. Excited to meet new dogs and help out with walks and play dates! I am currently working part time while in law school. I am flexible on times to come hangout with your dog and go on walks. I will be very respectful of your house and requests. I have been trusted with house keys and garage codes for past and present clients.
About: I've taken care of my dog since he was 5. He was a joy, and since then I have been deeply passionate about making sure any dog lives a happy and safe life. I can guarantee you I will put YOUR PET'S safety first. I am a vigilant caretaker, and will do my best to provide your dog with all they need! I go to work on weekdays and will be home by 2pm. I will be home on weeke ds to take care of your pet. I am vigilant about schedules, and I will be home in the evening and early morning to help out with crating and food if necessary. I have a large townhouse with plenty of room to run around. Our neighborhood is very pet-friendly, and walking your pet at any hour is no problem! A forest preserve 5min away that we walk dogs in almost daily, with free play areas. It will be used regularly, and walks in the preserve on everyday. We cannot provide crates, but will be happy to use your crate for your dog at night if you specify!
“Noemi was quick to respond and act upon a very last minute request to feed/let out my 3 dogs. She was very prompt and thorough in her care. Will def use her again when the need arises.”

There have been multiple occasions where she has watched my dogs or my friends' dogs and I always have raving reviews. I always come back to a happy dog so I can't complain. She is regularly on time and quick to reply to any of my messages and requests. Highly recommend!!”

Jisha T.
“I can't recommend Jisha enough for anyone in search of a caring, responsible, and nurturing overnight dog sitter on Rover. I have seen firsthand her ability to immediately relate to all types of dogs, following her intuition to help them settle in and feel safe and loved no matter if they are a playful puppy or sometimes if they're a nervous rescue. Above all, what sets Jisha apart for me is her attentive vigilance and sense of responsibility. Jisha isn't just ”watching“ the pets, she is concerned about their emotional well-being, she tries to meet their needs, respect their routines, and keep them happy and healthy overnight. Jisha is thoughtful and responsible: meals being served on time, med schedules, anxieties, favorite toys - every detail matters to her and she doesn't miss anything. However, it's not just her attention to details, it is Jisha's heart that makes her suited for this type of work. She completely love animals, and they know how to gain trust in dogs, as well as their owners. Anyone would be fortunate to have Jisha take care of their furry family member. I would NEVER hesitate for one moment to leave my own animal with her.”

We had a great experience with Anna as our drop-in sitter! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly great with our dog. We got timely updates and pictures, which really put our minds at ease. Our dog seemed happy and well cared for when we got home. Would definitely recommend and book again!
