“Emily did a great job taking care of my cat, Cathulhu. She provided prompt updates and lots of pictures. I can tell that Cathulhu really liked her, which is not too common for him! He can be pretty standoffish with people, sometimes. I will definitely use her services again in the future!”
“Justin is an amazing dogsitter. Our dog Tazz absolutely loves when he comes over. He takes great care of him, walking, feeding, and even helping with socialization. It is clear that Justin truly cares about the dogs he looks after. We are always so pleased with his service and love booking him whenever we need a sitter. Highly recommend.”
“Karie has been great this past week and I know she will continue that going forward. Since losing my wife last month, my life has been in shambles. I needed to go back to work and could not leave Maggie in the house all day, it wouldn’t be fair to her. And then I found Karie, she is doing a fantastic job making sure that my girl gets to go outside and take care of business and get some much needed exercise. I will continue to have Karie drop in to take care of my girls as long as she is available and I need the help. Hopefully Lucy will begin to come out of hiding and show herself more to Karie.”
“Skylar was the best cat sitter! I have had multiple sitters before and my cats never liked somebody like they liked Skylar! I was gone for 20 days and I am so happy my cats warmed up to her super fast! She was responsible and respectful to my cats eating schedules, as she came to my house twice a day. I highly recommend Skylar, she even cleaned my house as the cats got it a little dirty... I will definately book Skylar again :)”
“Margo was quick to respond and very professional. She met with me and my pups to go through their routine within an hour of responding to my request. She did very well with the pups, too. 🙂”

“Lauren has watched our dog, Beth multiple times now and is always very communicative! She picks up on things going on with Beth - whether she’s hungry or needing a longer walk and responds accordingly! She has worked with our changing schedules flawlessly and is always happy to go above and beyond to make sure our dog is as happy as can be!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have a soft spot for all dogs. I have a senior dog named Brooklyn, she is a sweet Lab/Hound mix-so I know how important it is to be gentle and patient with older puppies. I’ve also spent plenty of time with high energy puppies, so I’m used to all the zoomies and playtime they need. I live just a quick 3-minute walk from two parks, so there’s always a nice spot nearby for walks. I’m happy to take your pet for walks around your neighborhood or near my place, whatever works best. I'm here for any of it, if your pet needs a slow walk or an energetic play session, I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe, and treated like they are my own. I work a full time job in office from M-T from 8:30 am-4:00 pm, and can walk your pet any time after work and or during my lunch at 12( if in the highland park area). Fridays ,Saturdays and Sundays I can do anytime. When I’m out walking your dog, keeping them safe is the most important thing. I always use a good leash and stay focused on what’s going on around us. Whether it’s traffic, other dogs, or anything else. I pay attention to how your dog is feeling, smelling and make sure they’re comfortable and having a good time. I’m happy to walk them around your neighborhood or near the parks by my place- whichever works best. You can count on me to treat your pup with care a just like I would with my own dog.

Jasmin C.
“I highly recommend Jasmin Celis for her exceptional care and dedication while watching over my husky. Jasmin understood from the beginning that huskies are known for their high energy, intelligence, and occasional stubbornness. My dog, Luna, fits this description perfectly—she has a lot of energy and requires at least two hours of exercise daily. Luna is also clever and often finds ways to escape, and she can be quite stubborn when she doesn’t want to listen. When Jasmin cares for Luna, she handles everything with patience, responsibility, and genuine affection. Jasmin has done an amazing job taking care of my husky. She is very attentive and ensures that she follows through with every task I assign. Jasmin makes sure to feed Luna twice a day and provides her with plenty of water. She knows that huskies need daily walks and at least two hours of exercise, and she meets this requirement every time she is with Luna. Jasmin gives Luna ample attention and stimulation, demonstrating not only an understanding of the breed's needs but also a true love for my pet, as if she were her own. I felt completely at ease knowing that my husky was in such capable and trustworthy hands. If you’re looking for someone dependable, attentive, and kind-hearted to care for your pet, I wholeheartedly recommend Jasmin.”

Ridgeside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Amanda does a wonderful job with my boys. She is very attentive and communicates well with me. I even had several neighbors mention how well she was with my boys. She is always prompt and very easy to work with. Definitely calling her every time I need a sitter.
Daniel has watched my boys twice now. Each time he has been very communicative and takes such good care of them. I had several neighbors mention to me how well he was with the boys in my absence. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. I feel like my boys are safe and taken care of when I am not here and they are in Daniels care. I will definitely call on him again.
Lindsay was amazing! She went above and beyond for our kitty (who gets very lonely when we are gone), sometimes hanging out with him for longer than the booked 30 minute visits. He immediately connected with her and was snuggling on the couch with her within days (he doesn’t do that for everyone). Lindsay was also super observant and attentive. I would definitely book her to watch our little guy again!
