“Alexis did great helping to check in on Piper last min as I had to leave town for the day. She was timely, took pictures and followed directions. Piper definitely loved meeting her. We will but utilizing her in the future!!”
“Super great pet care!! Each check in was described well and I got photos of my pets each time. She even met me an extra time so I could hand over my keys before leaving, and was super understanding when I forgot to send a delivery code once! I felt like my pets were in great hands!”
About: I’ve cared for furred, finned, and feathered family members since I was a child. I volunteer at animal organizations and have been taught to administer pills, shots, and to prevent injury and illness to pets. I have alerted humans to unrecognized food allergies and abnormal behaviors. Animals adore me for some reason, even the most hesitant ones warm up to me within a day or two! These statements are true of both cats and dogs. I’d be honored to be chosen to care for your beloved family members and home. I can be available weekdays and more flexible on weekends, as I am usually working remotely. During weekdays I can accommodate most 6 hour schedule needs and always 8+ hour needs for care. I may be available for 1-4 hour needs on the weekend. At this time, I don’t offer care in my home as I live in a rental. This is why I love to care for other’s pets!
“Ashley took great care of our feline family while we were away for a week. I love that she’s local and quick to respond. I always like getting the daily updates. Would definitely book her again.”
“Alema had great communication, was timely, took lots of photos, brought sanitized and clean, enrichment toys for my kitty to play with with her and checked that my kitty's feeder and fountain were working properly and had enough food and water. Would love to have her as a sitter again.”
“Laura was a very kind and caring presence while I was out of town. She took great care of my 2 small dogs. She would drop in to let them out and feed them as I had requested. If you ever want a sitter with a tender heart and attention to detail, reach out to her.”
“We just had Krystin watch our cats for the first time. We felt she gave them very good care and seemed to genuinely enjoy being with them. She did everything we asked her to do and more. Krystin proved her self incredibly trustworthy and we felt very safe having her in our home and caring for our cats. We’d love to use her again in the future!”
“Jennie is the consistent “drop-in visitor” for our dachshund puppy and she is amazing! She is loving, punctual, attentive and communicative. She has learned our girl’s personality and likes and dislikes and has made each visit special for our pup. Jennie has worked with us for a little over a month now and we could not have picked a better fit!”
About: I’ve cared for many animals since I was young. The majority of them being dogs! I love all animals. I’ve dog sat, walked, and cared for dogs and other animals on and off and I want to do more now. I currently have full time for this if needed, I’m trying to look for a new part time job so I can do this and the other job. Whenever I’m needed I’ll be happy to take care of your pet! I will care for your pets when I get to your home and make sure they get the best care possible. And of course make sure they are loved.
About: As a child I was always the person that was bringing home the lost and injured animals I came across. Not much has changed as an adult. I worked with a pet rescue for over a decade, unfortunately the rescue was dissolved but my love for animals has not faded. I have experience with many different species of pets, ranging in age from newborn and needing to be fed every 2 hours to senior animals that need extra care and patience. I am experienced in giving medicine, and providing all the love and attention your fur babies deserve. I am currently in a career transition and taking classes part time at a local college so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets and make sure they have as much love as possible. I am very diligent in making sure all of your requests are followed to the letter. I personally have a dog that needs wiped after she potties to prevent UTIs and it is a deal breaking for me when I can tell a sitter has not followed my instructions. I understand that routine is important and strive to be a few minutes early for every appointment. I also understand that someone other than yourself caring for your beloved furbaby can be stressful for both you and them. I strive to ease as much of that stress for both parents and furchildren as possible. As a pet parent myself who also uses a sitter when I have to be away for any length of time, having that trusted sitter is life saving.
“Bali is amazing! She showed up on time and gave my pups exactly what they needed. I thank her for being there for Hank and June when I couldn't. I will absolutely ask her to check on them again.”
“Laura is a great communicator and sent sweet pictures of my creatures on her home visits. In the initial meet and greet, my animals warmed right up to her. I'd recommend Laura for your pet care needs”
Oak Park cat parents share their Rover experiences
Chloé was incredible! Each day I was given detailed updates about my two kitties along with great photos - some I’m wanting to frame! Cats seemed happy and healthy throughout our absence. Chloé went above and beyond to support when our cats had upset bellies and was kind enough to take care of additional household tasks like feeding our birds. It’s great to know our boys are in great hands while we are gone.
Susan was extremely punctual and helpful during her drop-in visits and I couldn’t be happier! She went above and beyond making sure the area around the litter box was clean, sending plenty of pictures and keeping my cat well-fed and provided with lots of treats. I’ve got an extremely shy kitty and she made the effort to keep him comfortable without pushing him, the second I got back home he was right back to his happy self. Will definitely book again the next time I need a sitter
