“I cannot recommend Cassi enough! She did drop-in visits for my cats and was absolutely wonderful. I looked forward to her daily updates and photos every single day—it gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. She’s officially our go-to for all future travels! Cassi is a total gem—already looking forward to having her back”

“Erica was very attentive and went above and beyond to take care of my cat. Most sitters think just because it’s a cat they just need to show up and do nothing so I appreciate when someone actually takes care of my cat and makes sure he’s good. Definitely highly recommend!”

“Alex was a wonderful pet sitter for my cat! My cat is usually very shy with new people, but by the end of Alex’s first visit, she already felt comfortable enough to come out from under the couch, which I took as a great sign 😊 She followed all of my care instructions, was very responsive, and provided updates after each check-in. I felt at ease while away and would love to book with her again!”

About: I am a recent college grad from Indiana University with my degree in animal behavior. I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, and the love I had for them pushed me to pursue a career in caring for animals. I also spent this past summer working at the Lincoln Park Zoo as a behavior and husbandry intern, learning how to be a zookeeper through shadow days. Before that I worked at a science museum in Indiana where I cared for the fish, reptiles, amphibians, and insects that lived there. I am in between jobs at the moment because my internship recently ended, this means I am available to come by any time. I am currently looking for new job opportunities so this is subject to change in the future. I am very respectful of other people's homes, and I will ensure that when your animals are in my care I will do whatever I can to keep them safe, happy, and feeling loved.

This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous to leave our 2 kitties for 8 days! Conner sent pictures and updates every day and made us feel so good that they were being well taken care of. Cannot recommend enough!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I grew up with Huskies and was responsible for feeding and walking them. In addition, I helped neighbors when they were away or just needed help taking care of their dogs. As an adult I've had two English Springer Spaniels. Maggie was liver and white and lived for just over 10 years and she was my one with separation anxiety. Josie who was black and white was my old soul from the day we got her home. We lost her a couple years ago at almost 13. My daughter also has a pup with epilepsy and has issues with fear based reactivity - which I am familiar with as well. He struggles sometimes and can be reactive to other animals and overstimulated in certain situations. So, keeping him close, being very aware on walks is important. I am experienced in walking, feeding and giving meds. I am also comfortable with elderly dog care given our Josie ended up living with back and hip issues as well as some vision loss near the end. I've also taken classes and volunteered at Anti-Cruetly here in Chicago and spent time at adoption events. Since I no longer have a dog of my own I decided I would enjoy getting my puppy dog fix loving on other peoples animals in their absence. Please reach out if you need help in the Chicago/River North area. I am currently retired with plenty of time on my hands. I would enjoy meeting you and your puppy or dog and see if we are a good fit. I love animals and know what it's like to want them in the best hands possible when you are busy or traveling. I would like to be that person! I am happy to come to your home and take care of your dog. I will gladly feed, water and administer meds as needed and per instructions. I am also happy to walk, snuggle or just play depending on the need.

About: I help young pets build confidence and good habits through calm, structured training — from creating predictable routines and gentle boundaries to crate comfort, potty consistency, and supervised socialization with all reinforced with positive, steady guidance that makes learning feel safe and fun for every puppy. I work fully remote, so my days are wonderfully flexible and full of time to give your pup attention, play, and comfort. I love having dogs around while I work — it makes the day brighter — and I’m able to adjust my routine to fit whatever your pet needs. Whether it’s weekday walks, daytime care, or weekend boarding, I’m available and happy to help. Your dog becomes part of my daily rhythm, and I make sure they feel seen, loved, and never rushed. I create a warm, safe, and happy environment where pets can relax and feel at home. Because I’m always around during the day, I can give your dog consistent supervision, gentle structure, and plenty of affection. I follow your instructions closely, keep routines steady, and make sure every pup feels secure. My home is calm, clean, and full of kindness — a place where your dog can settle in, enjoy their time, and be treated like family

My cat needs extra lovin’ when I’m gone, but he can be quite a jerk. Rachael is always patient with him and tries to play with him and give him the attention he needs and wants (even if he won’t admit it!). By the end of every trip, Echo is letting her pet and brush him - a big compliment to Rachael !

We had such a wonderful experience with Austyn watching our cats! We specifically chose her because she had experience with cats and described herself as a cat person. We really wanted someone who was comfortable with cats and genuinely understood them, and Austyn absolutely lived up to that! She was incredibly reliable, attentive, and thoughtful throughout our time away. We booked 1-hour visits twice a day, and she was always very timely and actually stayed longer than the full hour each time. She followed all of the instructions we left for our cats perfectly and went above and beyond in so many little ways. She even took the time to hand-wash our cats’ dishes rather than simply putting them in the dishwasher, which was more than we had asked her to do. She also took so many great photos during each visit, which we loved seeing while we were away and gave us peace of mind that our cats were happy and doing well. Most importantly, our cats absolutely loved her and warmed up to her right away! They were happily snuggling with her during her visits, which made us so happy to see. Austyn was also very respectful of our home and made us feel completely comfortable and confident leaving our cats in her care. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely cat-loving sitter!
