“Emily is the best pet sitter! She gave thorough report cards of her drop-in visits and the cutest pic updates of our two kitties. I can tell she truly loves pets and treated ours like she would her own. Will definitely hire her for any future pet sitting needs.”
“Sophia was very communicative, nice and my cat came out for her, which is a first while I’ve been away! If I ever need her help again, I won’t hesitate to rebook as she gave me a huge peace of mind.”
“Nicole did an incredible job! We were gone for two weeks in Italy and she gave us peace of mind that our two kitties were in great hands. She was attentive and communicative. We came home to two happy cats :) If you want to have someone of good character watch your precious little ones, Nicole should be your choice!”
About: With over 20 years of dedicated pet care experience, I’ve been a professional dog walker since 2023 and a lifelong lover of all animals. As a proud owner of both cats and dogs, my deep, hands-on experience allows me to provide intuitive, highly personalized attention that sets me apart, giving your pets the ultimate comfort and loving care while you're away. Pet care blends naturally into my daily life. With fixed morning, mid-day, and evening rhythms already built around my own pets, caring for yours isn't something I squeeze into a busy day—it's seamlessly built into how my day runs. When you trust me with your dog, their safety, well-being, and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel secure, loved, and fully cared for while you are away.
About: I have long helped family and friends with watching and checking in on their own dogs and have had a passion for interacting and helping animals since I was young! I am happy to help however I can with making sure they are comfortable and content. I currently work full time in the evenings, so I have plenty of time in the morning and afternoons to play with your pets! Since I already have a routine established with taking care of my own pet, spending time and getting to know your pet’s routine will help build trust and comfort in the process. I always try to make sure I approach them in a way that they are comfortable and taken care of without making them feel threatened or not secure. I meet them where they are at to ensure trust is first and foremost.
“Kristin is so wonderful! She sent me so many great photos and filled me in with lovely updates during my trip. Many of the updates made me laugh, which felt so fitting for my silly cat. It was awesome to see how well Kristin's dog Tater got along with my cat, too! I felt so secure during my time traveling knowing that she was taking such good care of my little guy, as well as my home! I will absolutely go to Kristin any time I need a long-term or short-term sitter for Kona.”
“Abby is the sweetest person ever! Which In turn makes her the best person caring for our fur babies! On time, fed, watered and played with our cat etc! Sent me updates! I will definitely use her next time as well!”
About: Sensitive, friendly. I will never hurt or harm an animal. I have a son, he is 10 years old and he dreams of having animals. We are willing to play and love them as our own Any other time is negotiable, I go out of my way to accommodate pet owners. In the summer, any schedule, we'll make arrangements and In all weathers I don't have a house yet and therefore an apartment. I am ready to take them for long walks, to feed them at home or at your place, to wash them.
About: I’m a passionate, reliable pet caregiver with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I grew up surrounded by pets and have turned that lifelong love into a career, working with pet families, in pet retail at stores. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm, patient companion, I’ll provide attentive, loving care and treat them like part of my own family. I have a lot of spare time on my hands so I could use that time to care for your pet! I am your pet Nannie around the corner. I have experience dog walking, so I understand how it goes. I also have lots of experience playing with pets. I have a huge passion for pets
“Jason took wonderful care of my cats while I was away! He kept in contact, took great pictures, and left the house just the way he found it (if not cleaner!). I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I’ve always had a pet as a child and going into my adulthood. I love them so much and wouldn’t trade it for anything else! I’m currently part time at the hospital and wanted to get back into pet sitting again because it helped me get my steps in and gave me a rewarding feeling! I follow my clients instructions and let them know if I have any questions. I am very friendly to pets and love to learn more about new friends.
“It was so nice to know our Chili Pepper the cat was well taken care of while we were away. Thank you, Andrea! Your check in pictures were really nice and gave us peace of mind. First time using Rover and so happy we did.”
About: Hi 👋 My name is Amber and I'm a big cat person! I've had a cat since college..20 years ago already! But I'm experienced with different types of cats. I had two but unfortunately recently had to put my tortie girl down due to cancer. I have a very sweet male tabby cat currently who is good with other cats as long as they are ok with him. I am happy to board your cat here and am open to a meet and greet first to make sure our cats will get along, or at least tolerate each other. I am open to administering medication if your cat is somewhat agreeable (we can discuss this further) as both of mine have needed medication for various reasons in the past. I have a second bedroom to put your cat in until ours get comfortable with each other. I'm happy to play and give your baby some TLC while you're away! I work mostly from home and usually only go into the office on Thursdays so I will be home majority of the time while boarding/watching your cat. I have a second bedroom that I can separate the cats if need be. Especially in the beginning when they are getting used to each other.
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life and have had pets since I was 5 years old. I currently have two cats who I am the primary care giver. My late dog, Mara (a black lab), became diabetic when she was 11. For the last 3 years of her life, I administered her insulin shots twice a day. From March 2019-March 2020, I volunteered at CARE Skokie and have watched friend’s cats and dogs over the years while they were away. Animal welfare means a lot to me and I understand the importance of providing consistent and loving care. I would love to have the opportunity to be of service to you and your four-legged family member(s)! I recently resigned from my job in Wealth Management and am focusing on doing things that are more fulfilling and I love animals. I am currently working part time at a local garden shop and have a flexible schedule that allows me time to tend to your pet(s) as needed! I grew up with a dog and have two cats at home who I am the primary care giver for. I am an advocate for all animals to be well taken care of and understand the importance of their needs being met through consistency and loving care.
About: I have cared for animals all my life, I work with both large and small dogs, as well as cats. In recent years I have also worked in elder care. I am a stay at home pet-sitter. I am available for boarding and dog-walking. I am available for day care as well. Available all day long. I have no pets of my own and I have no little kids. There is a backayrd, but it's not fenced. I have a possibility to take out your pet as often as needed.
About: I pride myself on my strong sense of responsibility and scheduling discipline, meaning I will always be on time for walks and strictly follow your pet's specific care instructions. I love staying active and exercising, so your dog will get the perfect amount of outdoor fun, playtime, and fresh air. I treat every single pet as if they were a part of my own family, making sure they are completely safe and comfortable. You can count on me for regular updates, quick communication, and lots of love for your furry best friend! As a college student taking online classes this summer, my schedule is incredibly flexible. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I have the freedom to manage my own time. I am a very physically active person who loves exercising and going on long walks. Since I live surrounded by beautiful green areas, I can easily incorporate energetic walks and outdoor playtime into my day, ensuring your pet gets the exercise and stimulation they need. Whether your pet needs early morning attention, midday visits, or evening companionship, my flexible schedule allows me to be there whenever they need me most. When caring for pets in a client's home, safety, trust, and strict adherence to routine are my top priorities. I am highly organized and disciplined, so I follow all feeding, medication, and cleaning instructions exactly as requested to maintain a stress-free environment. I make sure doors and windows are secure at all times, and I keep a close eye on the pet's body language to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I love exploring the surrounding green trails for long, safe walks, always keeping dogs securely leashed. You will receive regular updates and photos, giving you total peace of mind knowing your home is respected and your pet is receiving dedicated, loving care.
About: I live in Edison Park, but work in McCook/Chicago during the day/week or sometimes from home. I manage my time really well, so I can make anything early in the morning,/on my lunch break work- plus weekends or after work. I have always had dogs my entire life. I grew up with a chocolate lab mix, then when she passed away my family got a three legged black lab and a chesapeake bay retriever. Then, when I was in college, a chocolate lab climbed into my car and after months of trying to find his owners, I decided to keep him. Those puppies have since passed, but our family has 2 giant black labs currently. I’ve also had 4 Guinea Pigs who I loved dearly. I currently work from home part of the time and love four legged angels (sometimes 3, I had a 3 legged dog growing up). I am available in the early mornings, evenings and on the weekends consistently, but can work out weekday daytime availability with advanced notice. I make sure the animals all have the appropriate food/water setups at all times (per owners instructions depending on pet’s specific needs), as well as making sure the temperature is comfortable for the pet. I prioritize exercise and bathroom breaks for each pet. There is never a lack of social interaction when I am around. Pretty much, I view pets as family and think they deserve the best. If they have specific requirements, I will always follow whatever rules the owner requests and talk through any concerns before booking.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Prospect
Liz was amazing with our two kitties, as soon as we did our meet and greet I was reassured we made the right choice choosing her. Our cats immediately warmed up to her. She was on time, took amazing pictures of the cats and provided the cutest recaps of her visits with them. She even cleaned up and took the litter robot trash out. We are so thankful for Liz and will definitely rebook her in the future! ❤️
Scott is our go-to cat sitter! He takes such excellent care of our diabetic cat and gives her insulin shots and feeds her. He always sits with her and pets her and gives her some attention while we are gone. He also comes through when we find ourselves in a pinch!
We had Nicole drop in on our 2 shorthair cats for around a week and a half while me and my (now) husband were getting married, and she was famtastic! She was receptive and quick to respond, and it felt like our babies were well taken care of when we returned. I would absolutely boom her again!
Alexandra did a wonderful job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure they were well cared for throughout our trip. We appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were in good hands. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and everything exactly as we left it. We would gladly book with Alexandra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. 🐾 Thank you, Alexandra! 😊
Wendy is wonderful! When I forgot to give my other pet sitter a key to the front door’s bottom lock, she was a huge help in making sure the issue got sorted. Even though I told her she could leave after feeding and scooping litter for my very shy cat, Wendy would still stay and listen to music for the full half-hour visit so Tawny wouldn’t feel as alone. So professional and so nice! Highly recommend her.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
