“Nina did an outstanding job taking care of our bunny. She was very attentive and prompt with messages/updates. She made our first experience with Rover an excellent one, and we will definitely seek her help again in the future.”


About: As a rising third-year veterinary student at the University of Illinois, I bring both professional training and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for. Through my veterinary education and hands-on clinical experience, I have worked with animals of many breeds, sizes, ages, energy levels, and temperaments—including shy, anxious, high-energy, and senior pets. My experience has taught me how to safely handle animals, recognize signs of stress or illness, and adapt my approach to each pet’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pet loves playtime and attention or prefers a calmer, quieter environment, I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and have experience with feeding routines, medications, and providing patient, attentive care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone dependable, communicative, and trustworthy, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated so you can feel confident they are in good hands. My schedule is very flexible this summer! I am currently working part-time and participating in some veterinary shadowing experiences, but outside of that I have wide availability for pet care. I am available most weekends and have flexibility throughout the week, especially during mornings and evenings. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that best fit their pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a veterinary student, I have experience recognizing signs of stress, illness, and discomfort in animals and understand the importance of careful, attentive care. I strive to create a calm and positive environment for every pet while respecting their normal routines and boundaries. I know how important trust is when someone else is caring for your pet, so I will always communicate clearly, provide updates, and treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs extra patience, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Jeff really took his time getting to know Bella and did a wonderful job taking care of her. I would HIGHLY recommend Jeff to anyone looking for someone to look after their pets while they are away.”


About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, I am naturally quiet and calm so dogs especially are very comfortable around me. I’ve cared for dogs, cats and horses while their humans were away for 40 plus years and I am reliable and thoughtful with every visit.

I care for my clients pets per their direction and request adding in lots of kindness and praise. I arrive on time ready to engage with them.

“We were in a bind to find someone to watch our cat because our normal sitter was out of town. We were also hesitant to have someone we didn’t know checking in on her at our home, but we are so glad we found Maureen! She is super responsive to messages, sent pictures and loved on our sweet girl and took great care of her while we were gone for a week. I can’t recommend using Maureen for pet sitting enough!!!”

Reading pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time working with Jeff and he took very good care of my cat, Carmella while I was out of town. He sent updates and photos on a daily basis each time he came to the house and watered my plants/flowers as well. He has experience with and a passion for animals, and I will have him take care of my pets again in the future.

I had the absolute pleasure of having Mikaela stop by and care for my cats while my husband and I were away, and I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about the experience! She spent quality time with them, made sure their food and water were taken care of, gave them plenty of attention and cuddles, and kept me updated on how they were doing. When we arrived home late that evening, it was obvious how happy, relaxed, and well cared for they had been. Knowing they were in such great hands made all the difference and allowed us to enjoy our trip worry free. I will absolutely be booking with Mikaela again!

Lauren accommodated a last minute booking for us! We have two cats, one of which can be a bit particular and both need to take pills which Lauren made sure they got. I had also found a kitten right before our last minute trip and Lauren also kept her quarantined and make sure she got her medicine as well. Thanks so much for taking great care of everyone!
