“I had a great experience with Kylee from the very beginning. Communication was prompt and professional, and she was flexible with key handoffs, which made everything stress-free. She went above and beyond by helping with a cat food delivery that arrived after I had already left, and my home was left clean and tidy. Most importantly, my cats were well cared for. Kylee took excellent care of my two boys (my two orange male kitties). I would absolutely recommend her to care for your pets, and I will gladly book again.”

“Mandy is so easy to communicate with and always responsive! She is very caring and attentive. I really enjoyed reading the Rover card every day, and I’m glad to see that she built such a wonderful friendship with my cat. I also have to emphasize—Mandy is a great photographer! Many of the photos she took are cute enough to be portraits (I secretly saved some of them🤭).”


About: I have helped care for dogs from their early puppy days all the way through end of life support/care. While my home currently doesn’t have any pets of our own, I am so excited to watch over and love your pets! I live in a very quiet neighborhood with tons of long walk opportunities. The house gets great sunshine and there are tons of spots for naps. I look forward to caring for your fur babies! I work full time from home, and am able to watch your pet easily during the day. I’m able to swing by and pickup/drop off as needed, and have time during the day to take any walks as needed. My neighborhood is very quiet and very dog friendly. Tons of sidewalks and parks, with minimal street traffic. The house is not currently fenced in, but I am planning to put one in during the spring (2026)!
“Iva and Edwardo were very efficient and timely in giving meds, feeding and tending to our older shy cat. By the end of their care she followed them in the house and rubbed on their legs when they arrived. This is the highest of complements from this cat many people never even see. We will definitely engage their help again if we travel.”

“Isabel was the greatest! We are so lucky to have found her- especially since it was less than 24 hour notice. She sent awesome photos and our puppy got all his wiggles out walking and playing with her. She really goes the extra mile to form not only a connection with our puppy, but also us as owners. I highly recommend working with Isabel, and hope we get the chance to work with her again soon (and so does our pup!)!”

“Taylor did great checking on our cats for a few days. Super fast to respond to messages and very kind, we really appreciated knowing our cats were in good hands.”

“Isabel is extremely reliable and patient with our new puppy. She comes over when she says she’ll come, and she takes lots of pictures and notes during her visit, which we really appreciate. She plays with our dog inside and outside and makes sure he gets some good attention while we’re away at work. Would highly recommend her!”


“Jennifer was super organized and communicative leading up to and during her time caring for our cats! She made sure she understood their care needs well. Both cats took to her quickly and appreciated her company while we were away.”

“Krista did a great job taking care of our kitty, Claude! Claude doesn’t let just anyone pet him and play with him right away but apparently he thinks Krista is his new bestie because he walked right up to the door to greet her and demand pets every night! Our cat was very well cared for while we were away. 😊”

“Amanda was wonderful! I reached out short notice while I was out of town and my wife had a longer day at work than usual. She did a drop-in visit for our two dogs and everything went smoothly. We’d happily book again!”

“I just recently got a dog and I work night shift as a nurse. I’ve discovered that my doggy has pretty severe separation anxiety. She completely tore through her dog bed, ripped a hole in the carpet, and even started to bend the metal wires of my crate. I was able to watch my dog on my pet camera and knew she was struggling. Jess went ABOVE AND BEYOND with her care. She cleaned up the messes and even came over early one night when I knew my dog was freaking out. I truly couldn’t survive this week at work without Jess. Forever grateful and 100000% recommend.”


“My dogs really like Allegra and she seems to be great with them too. She was great during our meet and greet and spent time to get to know the pups. Will hire again for sure!”

“Was very quick and easy set up, especially with the key swap and her flexibility with everything. Appreciated her reaching out about pets concerns to be on the safe side. She also was very good about pricing.”

“Austin is a dream walker! I got about 20 adorable pictures a day, all wallpaper and insta worthy ? He looked after my boisterous boy with enthusiasm, care and diligence. I cannot wait to plan my next vacation only so that newton and Austin can have more time together! ❤️ thank you so much, Austin!”


“Whitney was wonderful and took excellent care of our 2 cats. She immediately befriended them on her initial visit and was very thoughtful throughout the time she took care of them, sending us plenty of pictures and making sure both of them were eating, drinking, and playing while they were together. We would definitely have Whitney take care of our cats again!”

Park Ridge pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using a cat sitter and Rover, but Jennifer was a lovely option for my 9 month old cat. She offered a meet and greet to meet me and my cat, which made me comfortable to confirm my booking with her! During my vacation, she was attentive, communicative, and went the extra mile. I’ll be booking with her again in the future!

Again Austin was fantastic! Our friends unfortunately did not leave our cat in the best shape (low water, poop on rug) and Austin helped to clean our rug and even manually scooped the poop out of our automatic litter box. Came back to a happy cat and clean home. Thank you so much Austin, you are a lifesaver!
It was a wonderful experience having Laura look after my cat Oliver again. She’s watched him before, so it was really nice knowing he was with someone familiar. She was kind, easy to work with, and very communicative while I was away, as always. I loved the thoughtful photos and messages she sent, and Oliver clearly loved her too!
