About: Ever since I was young I knew I had an attachment to animals, and all started when this one black cat came up to me when I was around age. She was the first ever cat I "Seriously taken care of!" I've even taken care of stray dogs when I was in the suburbs with my uncle, give me the food water in Old bowls. I even helped a few aggressive cats and dogs back in my day at age 15, it's all worth it to me to see an animal smile and to think many cats and dogs need somebody to take care of them while the owner is gone is very much in my alley. The key to happiness is helping others, so I want to do my part. Since I am a homeschooled individual, I am able to work with your fur baby for a long time, I've done my school work while taking care of pets before. So now that I'm realizing I can incorporate pet sitting into my daily life, it Made me really happy. First I make sure that your pet is safe by hearing the instructions that you give me. I will jot them down so when I come over I can have everything ready. But I will also do the generic things that needs to be done, for example; cleaning up after them, cleaning their bowls when they're finished eating, give pet time to adjust to me, play with them, feed them.
About: I have been a proud dog mom for the past 9 years, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life! I live a very active lifestyle and truly believe our pets deserve to enjoy that same energy, whether that means a long walk, playtime, or simply getting some extra love and attention throughout the day. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs and have regularly dog-sat for friends and neighbors. I recently moved to Chicago and am excited to bring my love for dogs to Rover! I’m especially comfortable with big dogs and high-energy pups who need a little extra exercise, structure, and attention. My goal is to make every pup feel happy, safe, loved, and right at home while they’re in my care. 🐾 I manage & teach at a Pilates studio so my schedule is pretty flexible! I am also a very early riser 🌞 I also have a car, so transportation will never be an issue. Communication is the most important part of caring for your pet! I’ll make sure we’re aligned on your dog’s routine, needs, and preferences, and I’ll keep you updated throughout their time with me. Your pup’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.
“Magdalena was incredible! She kept me informed about how my cat Freeway was doing, was always responsive, and sent a lot of pictures (which made my day). Both Freeway and I were lucky to have her care — would 100% rebook.”

“Lelia was great with my 2 cats, one of them took a treat right from her hand! This was the kitty who usually doesn’t go near anyone except me. She was able to give my cat his medications , all 4 of them with no issues ! I would definitely recommend her to any pet owners to care for their pets.”

“Susmitha was an excellent pet sitter for our two cats while we were on vacation for 10 days! We were a little nervous leaving them because we have an older cat and a new kitten who are still getting to know one another. Susmitha was wonderful with her communication, giving us updates not only on their daily care, but also how their relationship was progressing. She spent time with them and really got to know them! I’m so grateful that we found her and would happily recommend her services to any pet owners!”

Kristi took such great care of my two cats! She followed instructions well and catered to each of their personalities, which I really appreciated. She was also very communicative, took lots of photos, and gave detailed updates. Highly recommend if you're looking for a pet sitter!
Mina is everything you're looking for in a Rover! She was on time every day, sent tons of photos/videos and written updates on our pets mood/state of play! Fantastic communication. Our home was exactly as we left it. Biscotti's food and water was full when we got back. We were away for quite some time, and she provided our pet the consistency we were looking for during our trip and made us feel confident our pet was in good hands. This was our first time using Rover and we will 10/10 be requesting Mina again in the future. Thank you!

Lisa remains our go-to person for watching our cats when we go out of town. She keeps us updated on how the cats are doing and sends plenty of pictures. She also makes sure that our one cat takes his meds with his food. We can trust Lisa to make sure the cats are well-cared for when we are not there.

Katie was great. She did everything that was asked. She played with the cats, sent photos and was able to give my cat medicine which isn’t the easiest of tasks! I would recommend her to any cat owner and in the future if she is available I would hire her again! Thanks Katie!

Leila went above and beyond with her care of my two cats while I was out of town! She sent me detailed updates about how the cats were doing every day and how they were interacting with her. She cleaned up after each visit and even vacuumed up some litter outside of the litter box! I came home to two very happy and well cared-for cats. Thank you Leila!

Alyssa took care of our cats while we were away on an extended trip, she was amazing. Even before the start date for her services, she offered to come over for a meet & greet and gave us the opportunity to show her where everything was. Overall, 10/10 and will be reaching out to her again in the future!
