“I can’t thank Amanda enough for taking care of my big boy Garth. Garth is a rescue and gets nervous easily, this was the first time he stayed with anyone outside of family. Amanda took such good care of him and gave me updates the entire time I was gone. This dog is my entire heart and soul-if you’re extremely anxious about having to leave your animal Amanda is the woman for the job!”

“Amy communicated promptly and frequently. Maizie appeared very well taken care of and seemed very happy when we returned. Amy stayed at the house and it was just as we left it. We were very happy with her.”


“There aren’t words to express how incredible Autumn is. She came over the day before I scheduled her to meet my pets, and took notes of their routine while I went over it with her. She sent updates and pictures of my dogs while I was away, spoiled them with love and attention, and has been the sweetest to communicate with. I had ZERO concerns while she cared for my dogs, and I couldn’t ask for more than the comfort and safety of my babies!”

“This was our first time using Tabitha as our regular house sitter was unavailable. She was very responsive and attentive. I could tell immediately by her interactions with our dogs at the meet and greet that they would be well cared for and spoiled while we were gone. We had adopted one of the dogs less than two weeks before our trip and were still trying to get him adjusted around our other dog and cat, and she took on this challenge without hesitation. By the time we returned, he had more manners and our dogs were getting along extremely well and were now great buddies. Additionally, we have our pet sitter stay at our house and the house was left in great condition with no issues or concerns. We would definitely recommend her to others and will be using her again in the future.”

“Meagan was amazing. She took great care of my girls and sent me updates every time she came over to take care of them. She was very attentive and caring. I highly recommend her if you need someone to watch you fur babies. Thanks Meagan.”

“Lacy is truly amazing!! She is our go to regular sitter for our cat, and we always are extremely pleased with her and how well she cares for our baby, but this most recent time she truly went above and beyond for us. We got stranded in our travels because of the snow storm and she not only was able to stay with her for extra days, but the hvac unit also went out and our house lost heat! The temps dropped dangerously low and she helped us to troubleshoot the system for HOURS! Unfortunately the problem had to do with something outside our control and we needed to find an HVAC technician who could solve it. She stayed with our cat despite the cold and helped the hvac technician gain access to the house, answering questions as they arose, and worked with him until everything was fixed! She also made sure to drop the faucets and do everything she could to keep the house warm. She not only cared for our cat but she also saved our house from freezing pipes! We could not be more thankful for her and the amazing person she is!! People like her are rare and choosing her to care for your pets is truly a blessing! Thank you so much, Lacy!!”

“Michelle was a lifesaver, fulfilling a last minute request. She immediately put us at ease that our dogs were in good hands and communicated throughout her time with them. Will book again in the future!”

“Juli was the best Rover sitter I have watch my pets. She was attentive, communicated well, sent photos and updates and went above and beyond her job duties. She followed the care instructions and even wrote down daily notes. Before leaving, she made sure the house was tidied up as well. She is very responsible, kind and an overall stellar hire. She is the first person I am going to contact if and when I need a sitter for my pets again.”


“Maddie was great with my dog. I felt very comfortable leaving him with her after our first meet up. It is very clear how much she loves animals. She took great care of Stanley and all of my additional requests while she was at my house. I am so grateful for her, and would trust her with any pets!”


“Kelsey was absolutely amazing!! This was the first time leaving my babies with someone other than family, so she sent me pictures all throughout the day and constantly updated me on how they were doing. I will definitely be booking Kelsey again.”


About: I was a pet sitter for 13 years for an elderly couple. I am a lover of animals. Animals are my passion. I will take great care of your fur baby. I work remotely from home. So caring for your baby will not be an a problem. I will give your pet the loving care he or she will need. I have a spare bedroom and toys. I offer a clean and quiet space for him or her can play or rest. I offer a safe environment.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a small child. I have pets of my own. I treat them as my own fur babies. I even leave the TV on for them so they can have entertainment. I love going for walks with pets, grooming, and giving scratches. I have a senior dog myself, and he can require extra grooming and attention, much like other senior animals. I work full time, but I am avaliable for walks during some days of the week and weekends. I can sit on weekends, Friday through Sunday. I have a small 4 pound miniature poodle to give your dog company. I also have 3 cats who love to play. I have plenty of area to walk dogs around my neighborhood. I do have a pet crate as well.
About: I grew up with my dog Sandy; who was my very best friend. I’ve had many sweet doggies & kitties in my life. And I am happiest when taking care of a pet and do all I can so they feel loved & happy. I am retired so I can dedicate my time to taking care of your dog and/or cat when they need me. During the week and on weekends. I will take care of your pets, in their own home, so they are comfortable, happy, secure, and well loved while you are away. 🐾

About: I have grown up with and around animals for the last 19 years, my family, friends, and neighbors have always relied on me to walk, feed, and let there dogs out while they are out of town and to feed and take care of their cats. The nickname my family and friends gave me was Snow White because animals always seem to be drawn to me. Within my 19 years I have had 10 cats, 7 dogs, 1 ferret, 2 bunnies, 5 fish, 3 frogs, 3 lizards. This show the wide spectrum of how many different animals I learned to take care of over the years. I am currently not working and just doing school work online so I have plenty of time to hangout and play with your dogs or cats. I am free to sit and hangout with them any time of the day or any time on the weekends If your pet requires any walks I am more than happy to do it for as long as they need or want, ensuring the weather is fit for their comfortably, making sure they are in a safe area. If your pet requires any special care or meal prep just let me know and I will be more than glad to fulfill those needs. I am not afraid to play in the dirt, I’ll bond with your fur baby how ever they wish, following the pace of their choosing.
Oak Forest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Farah is an excellent dog and house sitter. I am traditionally nervous leaving our dogs while on vacation, but I have never been nervous when they are under Farah’s care. She is excellent at following care requests, sends ample updates, leaves the dogs well taken care of, and even cleans the house/washes sheets etc. This trip, she even had to deal with a tree limb falling on our roof, and limitations with Nala undergoing heartworm treatment. We are very thankful to have found Farah, and look forward to hiring her again in the future.

There aren’t words to express how incredible Autumn is. She came over the day before I scheduled her to meet my pets, and took notes of their routine while I went over it with her. She sent updates and pictures of my dogs while I was away, spoiled them with love and attention, and has been the sweetest to communicate with. I had ZERO concerns while she cared for my dogs, and I couldn’t ask for more than the comfort and safety of my babies!

Sarah did a great job taking care of my pup while I was out of town. She was reliable, attentive, and made sure my dog was well cared for the entire time. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands. I would absolutely hire her again for in-home dog sitting and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to watch their pet. 🐾

Mary Margaret is the best! Our dogs love her and are so content when we get home after being with her. She took our dogs on a walk, helped water our plants and gave us daily updates. It’s so great to have peace of mind when she’s watching our pups. Can’t recommend her enough!

April was AMAZING! Always responsive and on time with every request/appointment. Our pup is an older hard of hearing stray and April was very patient with him and they became good friends quickly into the house sit! Our house was left is perfect condition, our Nizmo was happy and we would definitely love to have April watch our home and pups again!
