“Peter was very attentive with Meeko making sure his needs were taken care of! I received lots of updates and pics which made me feel reassured Meeko was in good hands. Thank you!”
“Joseph dropped by to take of our cat for 3 weeks. For the entire 3 weeks Joseph kept an open line of communication and provided daily updates and pictures. Our cat loved Joseph. We highly recommend Joseph and will not hesitation to have Joseph watch our cat next time we are out of town.”
“Alexa was great! She was incredibly responsive and took good care of our two kitties while we were away. She kept us updated throughout, and we could tell she genuinely cared about our cats. We would absolutely book her again!”
“I asked Elizabeth last minute if she could do 2 drop ins over 2 weeks and she was able to accommodate us. She is always responsive and provides great updates (and belly rubs). We really depend on her.”
“I struggled with how to care for my two cats, a senior & a junior, while I went on vacation. Violet, my eldest cat, had just been diagnosed with kidney/bladder issues and required a stringent schedule of medication. I was completely put at ease after my meet & greet Kaitlynn. Her attitude & attention to detail were both professional & comforting. The daily updates were insightful & showed her familiarity with my "kids" and their needs. Our first experience with Rover has been a pleasure. Just knowing that there are dedicated sitters like Kaitlynn available at a time of need is a true relief.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life and have spent the last 7 years providing care for dogs and cats through referrals from friends, family, and neighbors. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give each pet. I treat them like part of my own family. I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and unique needs to ensure they feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy cat, or a senior pet needing a little extra attention. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. My remote job allows me the flexibility to build my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, whether that means early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening check-ins. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home, I always strive to create a calm, comfortable, and safe environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, this way they feel secure and cared for even when their humans are away.

Joeyann M.
“I’m writing to recommend JoeyAnn Morales as a pet sitter based on my personal experience and years of knowing her. She recently cared for my cats while I was out of town, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was incredibly attentive, stopping by not just to feed them, but to spend quality time, check in on their well-being, and give them the play and attention they needed. I came home to happy, relaxed cats and a clean space, which speaks volumes. I’ve known JoeyAnn since she was young, and she’s always had a natural love for animals. Even as a child, she was the kind of person who gravitated toward pets, always gentle, curious, and caring. She grew up in a home filled with animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to ducks, reptiles, and birds. That early exposure gave her a deep understanding of how to care for animals with both confidence and compassion. She’s responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about the well-being of animals. If you're looking for someone to care for your pets as if they were her own, she’s exactly who you want.”

Park Ridge dog parents share their Rover experiences
Julia is a sweet person and was the perfect person to take care of my babies! She arrived on time and took lovely pictures for memories and eased my mind knowing they are in great hands! Highly recommend booking Julia and will def be asking her for help again, thanks so much for helping me with my babies!
We went on a 10 day trip to Europe. One of our dogs is a pit/rottie mix so we were especially worried about a sitter entering the house while we were away. Helene was amazing. She got along with the dogs wonderfully. We received photos of our babies playing every day. It was such a relief. We weren't worried at all with our dogs in Helene's care. Helene helped make our vacation worry-free.
