From the video and picture shared with us, you can tell Karina knows how to approach animals and makes our cat comfortable with her. We appreciate Karina keeping our cat company while we are away.”
“Rhianna was very communicative and provided great updates about Momo. She was also very kind and flexible with rescheduling the meet and great due to family illnesses and modifying the visit when our geriatric girl passed prior to the trip.

It was our first time using Rover and we were a little nervous about what to expect, but Keri quickly made us feel at ease with her reliability, trustworthiness, and going above and beyond in caring for the kitties. We couldn't be more pleased with our first experience with Rover and with Keri.”
“I was very pleased with having Ray stay with my cat Xena. He is a warm and responsible person. Ray even took extra time to meet Xena and me before my evening out. He also texted me with an update on Xena while I was away. I highly recommend him for pet sitting.”
About: With a lifetime of experience, I've cared for a wide range of animals, from my childhood pets to those of family, friends, and colleagues. I am comfortable with all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels. I have experience with multi-pet households, having cared for up to four dogs at a time. There are no pet allergies or breed-specific fears that would prevent me from providing excellent care for your furry friend. I currently work full-time till about 4pm Mon-Fri but free every evening and various times throughout the weekend. I am off all federal holidays. No set commitments to anything after work so very flexible schedule. I care for pets in their own home and follow exactly what I am told by the owner to ensure the pet(s) is safe, happy, well-loved and not thrown off their typical schedule.
About: I have taken care of a senior dog for about 5 years now. I have taken care of my lil pup for 4 years. I am currently certified in pet CPR and First aid(certification in photos). I live a active lifestyle and like to hike and take long walks. It is a constant in my life to take care of pets. I care for my own 4 year old Chihuahua/Yorkie mix and my brothers shih Tzu daily. I am available on weekdays after 5pm and all day on the weekends. In my clients homes I can readily walk there pets or let them out into there back yards. I can also crate your pet if that is something you prefer. If you leave feeding or medication instructions do not worry it will be completed and you will be notified.
About: * In our care, your dogs are our family * Hi! I have been caring for, fostering, boarding and walking dogs for nearly 20 years! For the past 7 years, I have fostered dogs through Chicago Canine Rescue, One Tail at a Time, and German Shepherd Rescue of Illinois, where I have helped provide a safe and loving environment, basic training, exercise and socialization for dogs until they are ready for their forever homes. ***We have experience with handicapped dogs (having had two of our own), and we are happy to take care of your handicapped dog at no extra cost (including stroke/FCE, IVDD, paralysis, bladder and bowel expression, carrying around stairs or gravel to prevent skin injuries, harnesses/slings, wheelchairs, you name it).*** While I work as an emergency nurse, I am passionate about dogs and other animals, and I keep trying to find ways to enjoy my passion without completely changing my profession. My husband Steve is a manager at Trader Joe’s, and yes, he does bring the bizarre contentment that Trader Joe’s employees have home :) My husband Steve and I are huge animal lovers- we are chronically adding pets to our home in the form of adoption, fostering, or babysitting! We live in a 2000 sqft home in a quiet neighborhood with a fully fenced yard for your babies to stretch their legs, run, play, or relax. We have 4 stairs leading into the home, and a ramp if needed, but we can also help lift your dog up and down the stairs if that’s what they need. We have a sweet as can be, handicapped 6.5 year old German Shepherd named Lemmy and two friendly, dog savvy cats named Karma and Ozzy. **We ask that your dog is dog friendly, but your dog does not need to be cat friendly- we just have to know about it, and we can easily separate our cats comfortably** Steve and I work opposite hours and coordinate schedules well, so the dogs don't get lonely! We also have a pet camera to see how the dogs are doing if we are away. Feel free to ask us to connect with any past clients we have had on and off Rover- we have had exceptional experiences and reviews, and we can’t wait for your dog to join us! We are incredibly fortunate that our schedules are super flexible!! Every week is different for me on a nursing schedule, and Steve works a set “waterfall schedule” with the same days off weekly. Our pets and your pets will be spoiled with care, but they need to be ok to be left alone for about 4 hours, 6 max. If they are not ok with this, we just need to know about it so we can flex our schedules to accommodate. We have a spacious and secure home with a basement and two floors and fully fenced yard in a quiet and safe neighborhood. Even with a fully secure, 6 foot tall fence, dog(s) will never ever be left in the yard without our supervision. Our 3 pets are well behaved and incredibly friendly and will gladly give your pet space or hang out!
About: Hi, I’m James! I’ve spent the past several years working in customer service and hospitality, most recently as a flight attendant—so I know a thing or two about responsibility, attention to detail, and creating a calm, safe environment. I’m also a lifelong animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with pets of all kinds. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, playtime, or simply keeping your furry friend company while you’re away, I treat every pet as if they’re my own. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that trust seriously. I’m punctual, respectful of your home and routines, and I always aim to provide reliable and compassionate care. Let me help give you peace of mind when you can’t be there—your pet will be in caring, capable hands! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize their well-being. With my background in hospitality and flight attending, I’m used to managing structured schedules while staying adaptable. Now that I have more flexibility in my day-to-day life, I’m able to dedicate time each day for drop-ins, feedings, play sessions, and walks. I build my routine around the needs of the pets I care for—whether that means morning feedings, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. Caring for pets is not just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and plan my day around. In a client’s home, I always make it a priority to follow their specific instructions and routines to ensure their pet feels comfortable and secure. I treat every home with respect, keeping things clean and organized while giving pets the love and attention they’re used to. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning litter boxes, administering medication, or just giving cuddles and companionship, I take my time to make sure everything is done right—and that your pet feels safe and cared for.

I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat received during the 30-minute check-in! The sitter was punctual, attentive, and experienced with feline personalities. Ann ensured my cat was fed and played with, and even sent adorable photo updates that gave me total peace of mind. She genuinely cares about animals, and my cat warmed up to her instantly. Highly recommend—will book again! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
