“Tara took care off my girl very well while I was on vacation. She is a long haired Persian cat that needs extra care such as eye cleaning and hair brushing and Tara did an excellent job with it. She was very communicative and sent a lot of detailed info and photos to ease my worries. I highly recommend Tara to all pet parents.”


“Dee has jumped right in to help as a sitter for our two dogs and two cats. We have a high strung rescue and Dee has been great with her. Understood her needs right away. Thanks Dee!!”
“Tally was wonderful with my last-minute request to look in on my dog and take her for a walk when I needed to be away for most of the day and night. She took good care of my dog and took care to secure the house. I happily recommend Tally as a reliable pet care professional and I will use her services in the future if she is available.”

“Brenda did an awesome job looking after my two cats, notoriously shy, she got them to hang out and play! I already asked her to do another drop-in, she’s super reliable and the cats seemed very happy with how much time she spent with them!”

About: I've parented and cared for dogs for over 20 years. A food & water refresher, quick walk, and some genuine attention for your dog(s). Golden! I'm currently working evenings, so mornings and afternoons on weekdays are free for dog care. I have reliable transportation and pride myself on being punctual and thorough. During a dog visit I will feed, walk, play, and pickup after your dog. Any given guidelines will be a strictly followed. It's very important to me to provide our 4-legged friends with the best care possible!

“Leyla was absolutely amazing! She was reliable, communicative, and flexible to our needs. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was getting attention, care, and affection while we were away. We came home to a happy dog and would trust them again in a heartbeat!”

“Maricela was amazing… from being on time to attending to my furry family and just in general everything, her communication was top notch… everything… 10/10 I would hire again in a heartbeat…”

“We’ve had sitters before, but never have we seen Buddy warming up to someone this quickly. He was literally demanding belly rubs from Sara the second day! Loki, of course, loved her from the start (he loves everyone), but it was especially heartwarming to see how relaxed and happy all three of our cats were while we were away. Even Lucy, who can be… let’s say, selectively social, tolerated her presence like a true diva. Sara clearly has a natural gift with animals. We felt completely at ease knowing our furry crew was in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind sitter!”

About: In addition to caring for my own lovely cat and senior pup, I have pet sat for friends and family members regularly for the past 10+ years. I have experience with fur babies with a range of quirks, behaviors, and medical needs, so I am prepared for anything that comes my way. I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to spend caring for critters, especially during the upcoming summer break! I am very careful and safety-conscious, so you can be sure I will leave your home secure and comfortable for your pets when I visit.
“We booked drop ins and doggy day care with Taylor multiple times before and we are always happy with her! She follows instructions, provides great pictures, and is on time. She takes great care of our pets. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible sitter.”

“Yesenia is awesome and has extensive experience with both cats and dogs. She was so patient with Axl as he is a puppy and a bit shy around people. She is responsive, has great communication during check-ins and take lots of pics. Thank you Yesenia 😃!”

About: With two years of experience caring for puppies and senior dogs, I understand the unique needs of dogs at every stage of life. I’ve regularly cared for litters of puppies, ensuring they are happy, safe, and well looked after. I’m attentive to dogs who prefer their own space, respecting their boundaries while providing the care they need. Having a senior dog of my own has deepened my understanding of patience and specialized care. I also regularly walk my own dog, who has gone through many different stages—from tugging and reactivity to calm, controlled walks. Because of this, I’ve learned to adapt to each dog’s unique personality and needs, handling different behaviors with patience and confidence. Additionally, I have experience caring for cats and understand their unique behaviors and body language. I’m familiar with signs of discomfort and know how to create a calm, respectful environment for them. Having watched and cared for multiple cats, I ensure they feel safe and cared for, whether they’re social or prefer their space. As current full-time student in college, I understand the importance of balancing responsibilities while providing attentive care to pets. During the school year, I’ve learned to manage my time efficiently, ensuring pets receive the attention and exercise they need. Now that it’s summer break, I have even more time to dedicate to caring for and playing with pets. Whether it’s engaging walks, interactive play sessions, or simply providing companionship, I’m available to meet their needs with patience and consistency. I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their home environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific care requirements. I engage pets in play, offer companionship, and ensure they receive plenty of attention. For pets that prefer their space, I respect their boundaries while monitoring their well-being. If any concerns arise, such as changes in behavior or health, I will communicate with the owner to ensure the best care for their pet.
“She has been absolutely amazing! When my husband and I need a dog walker in the future we will definitely be rebooking through her. Thoughtful and so great with Ziggy that my dog jumps for joy when she comes by to get her :)”

“Brittany was super nice! She was very attentive with our dogs. In addition she made sure to keep us updated with pictures during her visit! We definitely recommend her for your pets next sitter opportunity!”

“Thank you Ana for taking care of my boys during the busy holiday weekend. I appreciate that you were able to step up and cover an extra day when my flight was canceled as part of the Southwest meltdown.”
Oak Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Wow! Emily is the best sitter I’ve had in a long time. I booked her for a long visit, and was so nervous to be away from my cat. But Emily gave me reassurances by sending me photos and updates on my cats behavior. It’s a really good sign that my shy but loving kitty warmed up to her so quickly, and was even waiting for her by the window on their last visit! Emily also took care of my plants, which was so essential too. I would 10/10 hire her for your pet sitting needs, I will surely be doing the same next time I need a sitter ❤️
