“Tara was very knowledgeable and helpful with our first time using Rover and as first time new cat owners! She sent lots of pictures, was quick to communicate needs and updates, and was always available to respond when we had questions or other small requests. She made this process easy and gave us peace of mind. We will be booking with her in the future!”
“Great job, won cats over quickly, even our scaredy cat. Stuck to the schedule given. Did overnights for us, I never doubted his integrity with our house or personal items, very trustworthy.”
“We've booked Sam several times now, and she's professional and prompt. And we will continue to book her because she's always willing to go the extra mile to help our shy kitty pop her head out for some love while we're gone (and we know it takes all the patience!). Thank you!”

“Ceanna dropped in for visits with our cats while we were on vacation. One of the cats has special needs and takes medication twice a day.

“Mitzi was absolutely fabulous!! I always try to find a cat-sitter who has experience with cats and they were very very fast friends. Mitzi kept me updated frequently throughout the weekend and was so sweet!”
About: I was a pet sitter for a local company in town for 2 years, and I have also watched various relatives’ pets over the years. I’ve had cats my entire life, but a few summers ago my aunt asked me to pet-sit her elderly jack Russell while she was on vacation & I’ve been doing it ever since! In addition to my aunt with the Jack Russell, I’ve also watched another relative’s 3 dogs while she was out of town. One of the dogs had to take medicine every day, so I have experience putting medicine into treats & giving them to a dog. In addition, I also have experience watching my cousin’s cat while he was out of town. I adopted my cat Wilma in January & it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I am admittedly a “cat person” but love all animals, and will gladly watch both dogs and cats. My schedule is fairly flexible at the current moment. I am available Monday through Friday from 7am to 10pm for both drop-in visits and walks. I will do whatever is required to ensure your pet’s routine is not interrupted while you are away. Treats, walks, cuddles, you name it-I can do it all!
“Very happy with Breanna's drop in visits! She sent lots of pictures and detailed updates. The house was very clean even where my cats eat and love making a mess. Will definitely request future visits with her!”
“Alexis checked in on our cat while we were away for a week. She was very respectful of our home and it was nice to have our boy see someone while we were gone. We will definitely rebook the next time we go out of town.”
About: Hi there! I’ve grown up with animals all my life, 6 cats, 3 dogs, 2 mice, and 3 hamsters later we have me! I’m a compassionate, clean, and communicative guy who would love to care for your animal(s). Whether it’s administering medication, walking, cleaning up, or playing with them, I would love to do it all. Thank you for your consideration :) My schedule varies by week, but that doesn’t stop me from communicating my availability and ensuring an easy, organized schedule. I want to make sure all parties involved are happy! Right now I currently have two cats, that both have schedules. They are fed at the same time everyday, have multiple running water fountains, we scoop their litter as often as possible, and never ending toys. Cats can never get enough stimulation ;) I plan to treat your babies the way I treat my own, with compassion and care.
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for small dogs, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know their unique personalities and quirks. Each dog is a little bundle of joy, whether they’re a spirited Chihuahua, a playful Pomeranian, or a heart-melting Maltese. Working with small dogs of all temperaments has taught me the importance of patience, empathy, and adaptability in providing the best care possible. For small dog owners, I take pride in not just being a caregiver, but a partner in promoting a healthy, happy life for their furry family members. Every wag of the tail or playful bark serves as a reminder of the bond we cultivate together. Whether it’s through fostering their individual needs or simply providing comforting companionship, I find joy in every moment spent with these delicate little souls. In the world of small dogs, every paw print speaks love, and I’m honored to be a part of their journey. I work part-time with animals, and they are my passion so I make all the time I can for them! I can provide quick bathroom breaks, or long enriching walks. Small dogs often benefit from personalized care. I take pride in being a dedicated walker or sitter that can cater to their specific needs and preferences during each visit. I have experience with senior dogs, feeding schedules, and basic enrichment needs as well.

Oak Park cat parents share their Rover experiences
First of all, I am not only a worried dog/cat mom; I am also a veterinarian. In other words, I am very picky with the care of my fur babies. I have used Miranda for my pet sitting needs before so I knew she was excellent. This time she also rose to the occasion. It was the Fourth of July. Even though she was only scheduled for drop by's, she stayed with my babies during the whole of firework hours on the 5th when she realized how scared they were on the 4th. She also cleaned up after they made a huge mess with litterbox; everything was spotless when I arrived home. I was able to communicate with her the whole time, easing my apprehensions about leaving them. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her as a sitter for anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and communicative individual.
