“Amy was wonderful to work with -- when severe thunderstorms rolled through, kept us up to date about the state of the house while we were away. Having two similar-looking cats with different dietary needs can be difficult to keep track of, but she met the challenge with aplomb.”
“Ash was great! She was responsive and helped out extra with taking care of our fish. I didn’t get as many pictures with Ash as I have with other sitters, but thats just a personal preference. She was happy to send more photos once I asked. I would book with Ash again.”
About: As far as I remember myself, I always had a cat in my house. From childhood I wanted to become a veterinarian and although I’ve gotten a different degree, my passion for animals never went away. I have a cat of my own, have work experience from a dog and cat daycare center, and experience from volunteering in Humane Society, so I know what kind of a care a pet deserves. Additionally, I took safety training at the pet daycare center, which thought me how to handle myself with cats and dogs in the best way. I am working part-time and have most days available for taking care of your pets! Usually I’m available every day in early mornings and after 5 pm, and any time on Fridays and weekends For boarding, I have a spacious home with a fenced backyard if you desire your cats to take a stroll and I know how to safely take you dog on a walk!
“Victoria has been a reliable cat sitter, they obviously love her which is very reassuring when we have to leave town. She’s flexible with changes in plan which we really appreciate too”
“Caroline was great! Responsible, followed the care instructions, and on time. My two kitties couldn't had been happier to see her. I will be using her pet care services again in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up always around animals. Whether they were mine, my grandparents, or a friends. I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and dogs emotionally and physically. I also volunteered to a few animal shelters to learn how to properly take care of both cats and dogs. I normally work mornings until around 2-4 pm. So I’m available the rest of the day to take care of your pets. I’m on a rotating shift so essentially I’m available everyday all day for anyone in need for pet care. There’s also times of the month I’m available all week for anyone who plans to take a vacation out of state for a week. I’ll be available to make sure your pets can also relax until you guys come back. In both my home and the client's, I will make sure all of the pets needs are taken care of. Whether that be: entertainment, training, or food.
“Alexander went above and beyond! Our auto feeder quit working and he made extra visits to ensure Amber and Gracie were still fed. Our kitties were well cared for and happy when we returned home. Will definitely book again!”
“Gabrielle did such an amazing job with our anxious attachment kitty! Our cat tends to not eat when we are not there, but Gabrielle's visits made our cat feel calm and supported. All her food was eaten! Our cat showed no signs of sadness or anxiety upon our return. Thank you, Gabrielle!”
“I needed a last-minute drop-in visit for my rabbits while I was out of town, and she was able to help on very short notice. She communicated well, checked on my pets promptly, and made sure they had what they needed. I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to help when I was feeling worried. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I will love your pets the same way you do! I have years of experience of caring for dogs over multiple weeks. I also watched a friend's husky for over a year while she was out of the country. I work full time during the week but I will be available to provide overnight care Friday nights- Sunday evenings. For special circumstances outside of this, please don't hesitate to message me. You can also call me Rachel - my middle name that everyone knows me by! I don't currently offer pet sitting in my home, but am more than willing to adjust to your preferences in your home. Feel free to send me a message!
“Giedre did an amazing job with my three cats! I’m always scared to leave one of them as he has very bad anxiety but he did great! I am so beyond grateful and happy with the experience provided by Giedre and her family! She was very great with communication, sent me pictures throughout their stay. I definitely recommend.”
About: I have gotten the opportunity to take care of all types of dogs & cats the past eight years. From neighbors, to friends, to family. It is one of my favorite things to do. I am flexible & quick to learn. I understand having a stranger come into your home to take care of your fur babies can be a bit nerve-racking, but whatever you need, just let me know! I mainly available on the weekends, however, I do have some flexibility after 6:30 PM on weeknights. I am mainly available on the weekends, however, I do have flexibility after 6:30 PM on weeknights. Never hurts to just ask, and I will let you know! I understand everybody has different rules when it comes to taking care of their for their fur babies.

About: I have over 3 years of professional experience in working with animals, and i’ve watched family and friends pets for as long as I can remember! I work a full time job at an animal hospital so my schedule can vary, I’m always open to discuss scheduling and time details further depending on the needs of the animal and client! I have one cat at home, my family and I rescued him from a shelter! We aren’t sure how he would do with other animals so it’s just him and he loves it! I will only be offering in home service for clients.
About: I had experience taking care of dogs as a kid. I have been entrusted with checking in on, feeding, loving and caring for dogs of friends, neighbors, and family. I am confident in my ability to handle reactive or anxious dogs. I can read a dogs language (stress, aggression, excitement). I can maintain safety such as making sure the dog is leashed in a busy environment. I keep aware of hazards such as heat, and other dogs. I am on time, and understand what it means to be consistent for routines of dogs, provide clear communication and updates and respect client homes and instructions. I pay attention to detail such as changes in dog behavior, appetite or energy, signs of illness or injury, and owner preferences for routes and pace. I am patient and adaptable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I plan my schedule around the pets in my care. I make time for feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and regular check-ins throughout the day to ensure pets stay comfortable and on their normal routine. I’m also mindful of providing attention, exercise, and a calm environment so they feel safe and cared for. On a weekly basis, I keep my schedule organized to accommodate bookings, communicate with pet owners, and maintain a clean, pet-friendly space. I also make sure I have flexibility for longer walks, or extra visits when needed. Reliability and consistency are important to me, so I prioritize being available and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. 1) My Home- Daily care: Feed according to the owner’s schedule and instructions Provide constant access to fresh water Maintain routines (walks, playtime, rest) Comfort & safety: Pet-proof your home (no toxic plants, cords, or open exits) Give them a dedicated space (crate, bed, or quiet room) Separate pets if needed to avoid stress or aggression Exercise & enrichment: Walk dogs regularly Provide toys, puzzles, and interaction Adjust activity based on age, breed, and energy level Hygiene: Clean up accidents immediately Scoop litter boxes daily Keep bedding and feeding areas clean 2) Clients Home- Follow instructions exactly: Stick to feeding times, portions, and diet Administer medications if required Respect house rules (furniture, access areas) Routine care: Walk dogs and allow bathroom breaks Clean litter boxes and cages Provide companionship and attention Home respect & security: Keep the home clean and tidy Lock doors/windows and follow security instructions Handle keys responsibly Communication: Send updates, photos, or videos Report any concerns immediately (health or behavior changes)

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Naperville
We have been very happy with Nina’s service. She is great with our older cats, and they with her! She also feeds my fish and monitors the high tech fish tank. She is very conscientious and we have been very comfortable going away with her looking after them all.
This is the first time we were using Rover and we had a great experience with Peyton. She was reliable, caring, and took wonderful care of our 2 cats during drop-in visit. We really appreciated the updates and peace of mind knowing our cats were in good hands. Would definitely recommend her!
Stephanie was fantastic! If you are in search of a dependable, responsible, empathetic pet sitter- she is your person. I have never used a cat sitter before, it was my first time needing one and I was beyond nervous. Immediately after our meet and greet,when I saw how attentive Stephanie was with her note taking and asking important questions I knew our cats would be in good hands. I have a very anxious and shy cat and was expecting him to be hiding the whole time I was gone but to my surprise he came out and she was able to befriend him and even play with him. She was very considerate of his shyness and let him come to her. She will definitely be my go to cat sitter for the future, I highly highly recommend her!
Jennifer has been such a great find on Rover. She was so invested in the care with my cat even before the cat sitting started, taking notes , preparing ahead of time . She has such a warm, friendly and kind approach when you meet her , even in our messages prior to the meet and greet . She sent thorough daily reports and 4-5 pictures a day which was so fun to see . I’m very confident in using Jennifer again for Rishi and feel so lucky to have found her !!
