“Emilee was fantastic! She stayed at my home, was very respectful, and ensured everything was neat, clean, and tidy before she left. Communication was clear and consistent, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dogs were very well cared for and happy when I returned. I would absolutely use Emilee’s services again and highly recommend Emilee to others.”

“We are always happy to have Mariela pet sit for us. We have a senior dog who needs a little extra help and she always goes above and beyond making sure he is well taken care of and comfortable. All of our pets love her!”

“Kim is very sweet! She was so kind to our pup, and when we came home, our pup was healthy and happy. She kept us up to date each morning and evening. The house was in perfect shape when we returned. Kim even offered to strip the bed, clean the sheets, and make the bed! We felt comfortable knowing our dog was in Kim's care. I highly recommend!”

“Stefanie was absolutely amazing! She was super flexible with some last minute changes and took excellent care of our menagerie of pets. We are looking forward to booking with her again in the near future.”

“Brooke was awesome. She kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and notes. She took our puppy out for potty every couple hours. My dogs loved her and we will definitely be asking her to sit again.”

“We are new to the Northeast and planned a trip out of the country for our anniversary. Dustin was very responsive from the beginning. He came to the house prior to meet our pups and get a scope of the house. He kept us informed of their well being with pictures and even made Henry's birthday special while we were gone. He also took great care of the house. Dustin will definitely be our first reserve on future travels. We know both the pups and the house are in great hands.”

About: Hello my name is Joanne! I am 29 years old, and I’ve been dog walking, and sitting for ten years now. I’ve taken care of multiple dogs, from big to small, old to young, chickens, bunnies, birds, turtles, hamsters, and gerbils, (you name it). I am aware of doggie emotions and actions. I’d love to schedule a meet and greet and go from there! If you have any questions feel free to ask me (: I am currently working part-time so I am flexible. I live and work in the Montgomery county area at the moment. I have a car and am able to drive to you. When it comes to dog sitting I am very attentive to the owner’s dog, making sure they are fed, walked, have play time, and more! I currently am not boarding, but am more then capable of house sitting for you.
“Kat is the best! She always goes above and beyond for us and our pets. Our pets love her and always look forward to her visits. We never worry about them when we’re away when they’re with Kat!”

“Amy did a super job taking care of my two Yorkshire dogs. She sent me pictures each day and let me know how they were doing. I appreciate they were able to stay at home and play each day in their own yard. Amy also brought in my mail and a package that was delivered and let me know it arrived. It was great to have her services so I didn't have any concerns while I was away. I highly recommend her.”


About: I used to have a Shih-tzu named Eris who was a very sweet girl with lots of energy. I currently look after a French Bulldog from time to time who I absolutely love. I like working with small dogs/lap dogs but I can work with bigger dogs too. I work from home, and I have plenty of time to play with your dog or take them on walks. I spend most of my day ar my desk, and I would welcome the extra encouragement to go outside and take the dog for a walk. I live with two other family members who love dogs, so your dog will never go without attention. If your dog is small, then I will happily let them sit on my bed while I work, and I'll reach over to give them pets whenever they want. Larger dogs are welcome to lie in a dog bed by my desk, or downstairs on the couch with me.

“Kayleen did an excellent job looking after our 2 high energy and slightly needy goldens. She took care of the dogs and left the house looking fantastic. Highly recommend Kayleen for all your pet sitting needs.”

About: I have cared for both small dogs and medium sized dogs. Have implemented special diets (Farmer's Dog) given medications through food or a treat. Assisted in foster care. Can follow leash and harness preferences and always have poop bags on the ready. I have slept beside puppies who are needy throughout the night. I am a full time K-12 art teacher so I would be available for any pet care services mostly on the weekends and few selected nights throughout the week. I would stay in the areas of the home that the pet is residing and or whichever areas that the client feels comfortable with. Example being the living room or dining room.
“If I could give Sabrina more than 5 stars, I would. She cared for our four cats and one dog over a 16-day span while we were abroad in Japan, and saying she went above and beyond would be an understatement. Our pet care routine is very detailed and specific, but Sabrina followed every instruction to the letter—with love, diligence, and an incredible level of care that left us completely at ease the entire time we were away. From feeding the cats their two kibble meals and one wet food meal daily, to preparing our dog’s two meals of mixed kibble and wet food perfectly each time, Sabrina never missed a beat. She administered oral, liquid medication to one of our cats with great skill and consistency, and properly mixed our dog’s medication into her food so subtly that it never disrupted her eating habits. She even cleaned and changed all seven of the water dishes every other day as instructed, which we know is no small task with that many animals. She maintained exceptional food safety by using the dedicated pet sponge to clean up after every meal—something that truly speaks to her attention to detail and respect for our home. Speaking of which, she respected all our house rules and kept the home in pristine condition throughout her stay. Sabrina also took on our cat's weight loss play-regimen with enthusiasm and dedication, making sure all our cats stayed active daily. Thanks to her, the cats either maintained or continued their healthy weight loss, depending on their needs. When one of them (who tends to lose weight when stressed) dropped a bit too much, she thoughtfully provided extra treats throughout the day—helping her gain back just the right amount of weight by the time we returned. Two of our cats have long hair and require regular brushing to avoid matting. Sabrina not only kept up with their grooming schedule, but did such a great job that one of them, who has difficulties grooming himself, had minimal matting upon our return—an incredible improvement from what we've seen before. Despite balancing her schooling and a part-time job, Sabrina made it a priority to be home with the pets most of the day, every day—just like they’re used to. This was especially important for our more emotionally sensitive cat, who is prone to stress-related paw sores or excessive grooming. Thanks to Sabrina’s consistency, care, and timely medication, he showed no signs of stress-related behaviors at all. Her presence was clearly therapeutic. She also mastered our household’s delicate pre-feeding routine. When the cats would get a little too riled up, she calmly de-escalated the situation using a “time-out” method that worked so well, we’re continuing it ourselves now. It was genius and exactly what they needed. As for our dog—she was in heaven! Sabrina walked her three times a day plus a final outing before bed, making sure she never went too long without exercise or a potty break. We could tell from the photos just how happy she was. Oh yes—the photos. Every day, Sabrina sent us detailed reports of the pets’ activities, moods, and any small hiccups she faced, along with how she handled them. She also sent dozens of photos—candid moments, nap times, play sessions, walks—you name it. It brought us so much peace and joy to see them thriving in her care. When we returned, we were met with an immaculate home and very happy pets. In fact, every single one of them now runs up to greet her whenever she visits, including our one antisocial cat who typically avoids everyone. That kind of bond can’t be faked—it’s clear they truly love and trust her, just as we do. Our trip to Japan simply wouldn’t have been possible without Sabrina. Her dedication, responsibility, and compassion gave us complete confidence while we were away. We trust her deeply and genuinely respect and appreciate the person she is. Without question, we will continue to rely on her for any and all future travel plans. Sabrina is not just a pet sitter—she’s an extended part of our family now.”

About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats before. Pets are man’s best friend and I believe they deserve getting excellent care. Dogs and cats of all breeds, shapes and sizes will get above and beyond good quality care. I do have a full time job, my hours are Monday-Friday 7AM-3:30PM, and I have church obligations on Sunday mornings, but I am happy to coordinate availability outside of those times. I work a consistent weekday schedule from 7:00am–3:30pm, which allows me to provide reliable evening care, walks, and overnight house sitting. I am also available most weekends and can accommodate advance scheduling. I focus on building trust with both pets and owners by maintaining clear communication, consistent routines, and attentive supervision. I respect each pet’s personality and adjust care to their individual needs.

“Norbert did a great job, first by saving us with an unexpected last minute booking. He even accommodated our tight timetable. When he arrived he asked good questions and he kept us up to date during our trip with photos and notes. Special kudos for going above and beyond. We definitely recommend him.”

Oak Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Amy did a great job taking care of my two dogs. I’ve used her several times before. She put my trash cans out for collection when I was away for a week without my asking, which was very kind. My one dog was recently put on medication and she was great in giving the medication and keeping me updated once a day. I highly recommend Amy and appreciate her level of care.

Kim is great! She stayed at our house and watched our dog, Finn, for four days while we were out of town. Kim sent us photos and updates the whole time, which made us feel really at ease. She was very responsive and took wonderful care of Finn and the house. We would highly recommend Kim’s services and will definitely book her again in the future!

We went away for a week and had Nicole take care of our dog Teddy. He is very shy and not used to strangers. He warmed up to her immediately and they had a great week. She sent us pictures of him and kept us aware of what he was doing each day. The house was perfectly kept and I really felt confident being away and not worrying about the dog or our home. I would absolutely use Nicole again. She was responsible and reliable.
Sean was very professional and always responded within the day when we had a question or needed something during our almost-5-week trip. Sean stayed in our home and did everything we asked while we were away, including caring for our pup (who seemed to love Sean!), watering plants we specified, and bringing in mail and packages. The house was tidy upon our return and, most importantly, our dog seemed happy and well cared for.
