Nadine was great! She sent detailed updates and great pictures, and I could tell she took amazing care of my cat while I was away. It was a relief knowing my cat was in such good hands. I would definitely ask Nadine to cat sit again!

It was my first time using rover and I was looking for someone who truly understands dogs, and its Tamara! Tamara was a true blessing while I was away in Mexico. My dog isn’t usually quick to trust—he even tried to bite her when they first met—but she was so patient and kind with him. By the end of the week, he was waiting at the door for her, tail wagging, 30 minutes early. I could tell he really bonded with her. I’m so grateful and would absolutely have her watch him again.

Cassandra listens and is trustworthy. We spoke for awhile exchanging dog (pet watching) experiences and I knew I could trust her with my dogs and my home: Her visit consisted of having lockbox access to our house, access to the dogs and returning everything as requested.

Jasmine was amazing, especially on short notice. Thorough, communicative, and proactive. My favorite is when she left the light on because she knew it would be dark soon and wanted to provide some comfort. It was everyone you’d want in someone caring for your pup. Will definitely use her again.

Qutress was so considerate, sweet, and caring with our kitty cat and we would absolutely love to book her again!! She did everything we needed to a T and sent us lots of helpful updates and cute photos too! We felt really happy and relieved as anxious pet parents knowing that Qutress was nearby and available to help with drop ins while we were out of town :)

About: I have experience caring for pets and understand the importance of providing them with patience, attention, and a safe environment. My responsibilities have included feeding pets according to their schedules, providing fresh water, taking dogs for walks, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of exercise and companionship. I am comfortable following specific care instructions and paying close attention to each pet’s individual needs and behavior. I am dependable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. After spending 33 years working in corporate America, I am excited to begin a new chapter in life—one centered around spending more time with animals and providing them with loving, dependable care. I developed a strong sense of responsibility, reliability, patience, and attention to detail. I understands the importance of being trustworthy and following through on commitments, qualities that are just as important when caring for someone’s beloved pets. Now retired, I have the time and flexibility to give pets the attention, companionship, exercise, and care they deserve. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and creating a safe, comfortable environment where they can feel happy and relaxed. For me, pet care is more than simply a responsibility—it’s an opportunity to enjoy the companionship of animals while giving their owners peace of mind that their pets are in caring and capable hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My loft provides a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel at home. When your pet stays with me, you can feel confident knowing they’re receiving attentive, loving care in a safe home away from home. My goal is simple: for you to have peace of mind and for your pet to feel loved, secure, and comfortable.

I am so happy that I found Christina to take care of my little Rainbow while I was away! She was very caring and they bonded like love at first sight for our meet and greet. It shows that Christina really loves cats and went out of her way to make sure that mine was comfortable and happy! When I came home, everything was neat and clean and Rainbow was happy and ready to play as if I had never left! I would highly recommend Christina and book her again, thank you so much!

About: As a big sister and true animal lover, I have delighted in taking responsibility and caring for the children and fur-babies of family, friends, and neighbors for most of my life. My experience with dogs and cats is extensive, including: extended periods of 24/7 care for varying ages, sizes, and needs; following veterinary instructions for administering medications; and providing proper everyday care such as bathing, feeding, walking, and basic grooming, and of course plenty of play-time and snuggles! For walks and check-ins I am flexibly available on Saturdays and Sundays, and during the week I am available Tuesdays 3pm - 6pm, Wednesdays 8am - 11am, and Fridays 1pm - 6pm. I am also able to provide overnight/multiday care at my home for cat-friendly pets. My apartment is a spacious 3 bed/2 bath (I have 3 couches to choose from for naptime and snuggles!), with plenty of parks, trails and green spaces nearby to walk and play. I have a sweet kitty at home who loves to play with other cats, and dogs too! Some things to keep in mind when deciding if my home is right for your fur-baby's stay: I live on the 2nd floor and my building does not have an elevator; if your pet uses a crate you will need to provide this for their stay; I have a cat and so will only be able to welcome cat-friendly pets to my home.

This was my first time leaving my 13 week old puppy by herself and I could not have felt more relaxed knowing that she was in your care. Thank you so much Eunice, I will definitely be rebooking!

About: I love puppies and letting them get socialized! I have a 5 month old puppy myself and choosing me to watch your baby would be an honor! I work from home so your pup will never be alone!

About: I’ve grown up with animals all my life and my house was always noisy. However, now that I’ve moved away from home I’ve been missing the little guys. Im going into a my Masters program at UChicago! I’m also a barista at Starbucks! I usually work in the early morning so my afternoons are pretty open! I have the upmost respect for others property and place. I would love to board animals at my apartment if you are comfortable with it! However, I will come second to only you in loving your animal.

Hallie was communicative and took the best care of my babies! My cat has asthma and it was so nice to know she was safe and had someone there to give her her inhaler and prevent asthma attacks. Hallie was great!

Our cat Rocket loves Emily :) Emily took care of Rocket a couple times now during our trip, including some long-term ones. That meant Emily had to come in twice a day, every day, for 2-3 weeks. She wasn't late to a single visit, gave Rocket lots of pets and attention, and sent us a lot of pictures while we were overseas. She truly went above and beyond as a sitter and we cannot recommend Emily enough!

Kate was amazing with Peppa! She stopped by every day and it was so obvious how much she genuinely cared — sent me pics constantly so I never had to wonder how things were going. Peppa looked happy and relaxed in every single one. Super reliable, showed up right on time every visit, and communicated the whole week without me having to chase her down for updates. Would 100% have her back again, can't recommend her enough.
