About: I started caring for pets 9 years ago and have always had a love for animals. I used to live on a farm and I would take care of the horses and other animals. I went to college to become a vet tech and have been working in an animal hospital since I was a senior in high school so I have a lot of experience caring for animals. Our pets are our family and I would love the opportunity to connect with your loving, adorable, playful, and outgoing little companions. Thank you I am now a stay at home mom but would still love to be able to work with animals. I’m available just about every day and usually take my son and daughter on a walk each morning or afternoon so why not bring your little companion on an adventure with us. My son is 2 and my daughter is one so they must be good with little kids! I go on walks daily and would love to bring them along! They will get all the attention they deserve and I will make sure they can play and stay on their feeding schedule.

“Sharon is the best! I love feeling confident in the knowledge that my dog is being lovingly cared for while I’m at work. And Poppy is a sweetheart, too!”

Zoe M.

“Zinaida and her family were wonderful and loving. They took great care of my boys and took them on several walks throughout the day. She also sent me plenty of photos and videos. I also appreciated that she was flexible with time, and accomodated to my last-minute request. I highly recommend her for dog daycare and boarding!!”

Supriya S.

“Nana was a phenomenal sitter! Her dog got along so well with mine and I could tell she was getting lots of attention and playtime because she’d come home and pass out immediately. And I loved the pictures! Would absolutely book with her again.”

Hailey M.

“My dog Taku and I relocated here from Michigan recently. We have no family or friends here in Illinois. I was so stressed and anxious on what I will do with Taku while I’m at work or a long day or long weekend. Taku has separation anxiety where if he’s left alone, he will cry and bark the whole entire time. Then I found Jeena on Rover! She was so accommodating! She allowed Taku and I to come meet her and her cats to see if they all got along, before we booked her for a half day of day care. Taku did really well at her place! He felt comfortable and when I went to pick him up, he was happy and well taken care of. It seemed like he really loved her already and he gave her kisses goodbye! We will definitely be using Jeena again!! We feel so lucky to have found her!!!! Thanks Jeena and Rover!”

Nancy Y.

“Ashlie and Phillip were great with my pup! Excellent communication both before and during our stay. Their home is a perfect environment for any dog who loves getting lots of attention and outdoor play.”

About: I’ve cared for a variety of dogs and cats — for friends, family, and many clients through Rover — over the past decade. I take pride in providing attentive, detail-oriented, and scientifically informed care to ensure your pets are happy and healthy. I am a physician research fellow completing a research fellowship at WashU, where I primarily work from home with a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide frequent attention, walks, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I only need to be away one afternoon each week for clinic, so your pet will receive plenty of care and companionship. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of individual attention. In my home, pets have access to a dedicated indoor playroom that opens directly onto a spacious backyard, providing a safe and comfortable space to relax and play. There is also a large fenced play area approximately 300 yards from my backyard where dogs can enjoy additional exercise and outdoor time. I maintain a clean, safe environment and provide regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even horses, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, needs, and routines that goes far beyond the average pet sitter. From the energy of playful pups to the quiet companionship of senior cats—and the powerful presence of horses—I’ve developed a calm, confident approach that helps pets feel safe, loved, and right at home. Whether it’s administering medications, handling special diets, or recognizing subtle changes in behavior, I treat every animal with the same attentiveness and care I give my own. My clients know they’re not just hiring a sitter—they’re getting a devoted animal lover with years of hands-on experience across a wide range of species. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. Although I work full-time, I’ve structured my schedule to allow time before and after work for morning and evening visits, check-ins, feedings, and playtime. Caring for animals brings balance to my day—it’s something I genuinely look forward to and make time for with intention. Because I know how important consistency is for pets, I prioritize punctuality and clear communication, ensuring your cat (or dog, or other companion!) stays on their routine and feels comfortable while you’re away. Weekends and holidays offer even more flexibility, and I’m happy to accommodate special requests whenever possible. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize three things above all: safety, trust, and a stress-free environment. I know how important it is for animals to stay in their familiar surroundings while their humans are away, and I work hard to maintain the routines and atmosphere that help them feel secure. I treat every home with the same respect and care I’d expect for my own, following detailed instructions and keeping things clean and tidy. From securing doors and gates to monitoring your pet’s behavior and health, I take every precaution to ensure a safe, calm experience. My goal is to make your time away as worry-free as possible—for both you and your pet. You can count on me for consistent updates, honest communication, and dependable care that reflects genuine love for animals.

“Jacki was so great! Roscoe immediately felt at home and she sent update photos to keep me in the loop. Fae, her dog, was so sweet and was immediately Roscoe's buddy. Will definitely use her again!”
