“I really appreciated the updates and how well he tended to my cat. I definitely will have him sit Miko again next time. His experience combined with the ease of communication gave me peace of mind that Miko was in good hands.”

“Karen was amazing with my kitties. She always sent pictures of the food, water, and clean box along with pictures of the kitties playing and cuddling. One of my cats needed to be in an e-collar, and every picture of him that she sent showed him wearing the e-collar. Her detailed visit summaries were correct and accurate descriptions of the kitties’ personalities, showing she actually spent time with them and kept them company during her visits. I am so grateful she took great care of them during the holiday season. Thank you Karen!”

“Allison was great! I booked her very last minute, and she still made time to come over to do a greet and meet. She’s clearly a dog lover, and our pups instantly fell in love with her. And very affordable rates! 10/10 would rebook in the future!”

“I love having Claudia take care of my girls. She’s always quick to respond, and she time stamps her visits with the Rover report card with pictures. I can relax when I’m gone because I know all is well. Recently, she gave special care to my dog, both in taking care of her needs during the visits but also she paid attention and adjusted some timing for our now more complicated schedule.”
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Waffle. She did two drop-in visits and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear right away that she genuinely loves animals—Waffle warmed up to her immediately. She was punctual, communicative, and sent thoughtful updates that gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a very happy and relaxed pup, which says everything. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Sydney again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter.”


“Hollie took excellent care of my 6 cats! She was very reliable, and easy to contact. On each visit, after taking care of their needs, she petted and talked to the 3 braver and friendlier ones. I had cameras set up, so I told her not to worry about the other 3 though she did briefly see one as he raced by to hide. Hollie was great. I'll definitely ask for her again.”

About: Hello there! I'm Daniel. My love for animals began as far back as I can remember, and I’ve dedicated my life to caring for them—from dogs and cats to smaller pets and even insects. With 15 years of experience, I'm currently studying canine and feline ethology. I can offer basic grooming too (extra service) and am certified in pet CPR. My wife is also an approved caregiver, so your pet gets twice the love for the price of one. I'm glad to be here for you, as a helping and trusted hand! I work Monday through Friday, but I’m available after 2:30pm every weekday. On Saturdays and Sundays, I’m fully available. Overnights aren’t a problem either — there is always somebody at home and can handle morning meetings, so your pets are cared for around the clock! In our home, pets are treated like family. We’ve got two friendly cats who are used to visitors, a pet playground in our community, and a cozy balcony set up with water, toys, and a fan so they can relax. My wife, my son, and I all share the care — my wife has a natural love for animals, and even my homeschooled son has learned empathy and responsibility through caring for them. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely — feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles — just the way y’all would do it yourselves. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and at home, whether they’re staying with us or I’m looking after them in their own space.
“Marla was very responsive and attentive in caring for my cat while I was travelling. My cat warmed up to her quickly, and I was pleased to come home to a happy and relaxed pet.”

“Kristin D. provided excellent care for our dogs during our absence. Being first-time leave-at-home pet owners, we were initially hesitant, but Kristin diligently sent us regular photo updates, which greatly reassured us. We are highly satisfied with her service and intend to engage her again in the future.”


“William took wonderful care of my cat, Julius. Everyday, I received picture updates and in each picture, Julius looked thrilled to have William hanging out with him. He made sure food, water, and litter was kept full and clean, and provided lots of TLC to Julius. I highly recommend William!”
“*As a repeat client, we couldn’t be happier with the care our dogs receive from Andrea! She walks our 1-year-old high-energy black lab and our 8-year-old pitbull mix, and she handles both of their very different needs so well. She’s amazing with them; patient, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. After their walk, she goes the extra mile by making sure our older dog gets some extra cuddles and attention, while our puppy gets the rest of her energy out with a fun tug-of-war or fetch session. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing we can always count on her to not only care for our dogs, but truly spoil them. We’re so grateful to have found someone who treats them like her own. Highly recommend! Lucky to have found Andrea; she is a gem of a human.”

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of genuine love and hands-on experience with dogs of all ages. While I may be young, I've been the primary caregiver for my own dogs for years, giving me a deep understanding of their unique needs. My experience includes raising my own dog, Peanut, from a puppy in 2020, so I am well-versed in the high energy, patience, and consistent routine that young dogs require. Furthermore, I care for my dog Butters, who joined our family in 2021, and have experience with the compassionate care elderly dogs need. This hands-on history includes administering daily oral medications, managing different canine personalities at the same time, and ensuring every dog feels individually loved and attended to. For over four years, I have been solely responsible for the reliable and trustworthy routine of feeding, walking, and caring for my dogs. You can have peace of mind knowing I will follow your instructions precisely and maintain your pet's normal schedule to minimize their stress while you're away. Ultimately, my goal is simple: to treat your furry family member with the same love and attention I give to my own beloved Peanut and Butters! My weekly schedule as a college student is actually perfect for pet care. I have no classes from Friday through Sunday, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I'm free from noon onward. Since I don't have a job, I can offer my full and undivided attention to any pet I care for. This means your pet would become my main focus. This flexibility allows me to provide excellent care. On weekends, I am completely free for long walks, adventure hikes, or just providing constant companionship through house-sitting. For pets that need afternoon care, my free time on Tuesdays and Thursdays is ideal for long visits, play sessions, or stopping by to break up their day. My main goal is to keep pets happy and comfortable by sticking to their normal routine. Since I stay in your home for overnight stays, I make sure your pet feels like they're on a fun staycation. I follow all your instructions for feeding, walks, and medication, and I’ll also take care of your home by bringing in mail and watering plants. My schedule is very open, so I can spend lots of quality time with your pet, giving them plenty of attention so they don’t get lonely. For shorter drop-in visits, I come by to let your dog out, play with them, or just keep them company for a little while. I always make sure they have fresh water and give you a quick update with a photo so you know they’re doing well. When I take dogs for walks, I focus on giving them good exercise and making sure they’re safe. I follow your preferred route and let them explore at a comfortable pace. After the walk, I’ll make sure they have water and are settled back in. No matter which service you choose, I’ll keep you updated with messages and pictures. My flexible schedule means I can give your pet my full attention, and I always treat your home and your furry friend with care and respect.
About: Treat every pet (dogs and cats) like family, taking time to learn their routines, behavioral cues and emotional need, to provide more than just basic care My daily routine is calm and flexible, which is perfect for pet care. Spend the day home taking brakes for walks, enrichment, feeding and cuddle, keeping a regular schedule. It is my top priority to provide consistent and loving care in a clean pet friendly environment where your pet can feel secure and loved.
“Veronica is the best sitter. She understands how nervous we are to leave our elderly fur baby and she goes over and beyond to put us at comfort while away and sends pictures daily.”

“Ashley did a great job communicating the visits she had at my home I appreciated her loving care and attention to details. Plus, her humor in accepting the silly dog and chickens I letting her charge. Everything looked great when I returned home.”

“Eric is definitely my No.1 sitter choice! He was caring and followed all the instructions we left for him. He communicated throughout his visits. I would highly recommend Eric to watch your fur buddies!!!!”

“I highly recommend Georgia! She has been excellent in taking care of my Weimaraner, Leo. She is incredibly caring, thoughtful, and attentive to his needs. I always feel at ease knowing he’s in such good hands. Leo absolutely enjoys his time with her, and it’s clear she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she works with. I’m very grateful to have found someone so reliable and compassionate.”

About: From Chihuahuas to Great Danes and any pets in between.. I know how hard it can be to be separated from our fur babies, I love giving pets the exercise they need & deserve while doing it with love! I have tons of experience most breeds mostly from doing my own rescue. As well as medication administration due to my own pet having diabetes as well as owning & rescuing several of my own! I have opened my schedule up for walks, vet visits, hikes and more! Since I have young pups of my own I love to enjoy the outdoors weather permitting! I do have a six foot privacy fence, with lots of space for pets to run and play! I also have friendly dogs who love company, or can be separated as well ☺️.
“Faith took amazing care of my dogs while I was away! I had her pop in twice a day to let the dogs out and feed them, and she was punctual for every visit. The dogs were happy in every photo that she sent to me. Overall would definitely rebook with Faith when I go out of town again.”

Park Forest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Karen was absolutely wonderful and I could not recommend her enough as a pet sitter! She cared for my anxious cat and really took her time to accommodate to her feeding schedule and encourage plenty of playtime. This was my first time leaving my cat with anyone for a week and Karen easily exceeded my expectations and calmed my nerves! She took her time to understand my cat and her quirks and even went out of her way to buy her treats. She also constantly updated me and sent many videos and pictures which I absolutely loved. I will most definitely be rebooking again with her in the future. My cat is safe, healthy, and happy, and it’s all thanks to Karen!😄

Alexandria is a great cat sitter! She has done check in visits for my boy twice and both times went well. She takes lots of pictures for his drop-in card and does the extra care tasks I requested 😁. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a cat sitter!

Renee is amazing! This is the second time she has cared for my cats and she is great. Renee does such a great job communicating and sharing updates about the pets, I love all the pictures she sends! I know my cats and home are cared for and safe when Renee is on the job :)
