This was our first time using Rover and Heather went above and beyond our expectations! We looked forward to her updates nightly and absolutely loved the pictures. We were able to enjoy our vacation more fully knowing our little fur baby was in wonderful hands. We would you request Heather again in a heartbeat!

Kaitlyn was great! Gave all of my animals lots of love. Sent lots of pictures and conversed via text with updates. I have one pup that is skittish and a little extra work and Kaitlyn was patient with her and went above and beyond to gain her trust and progress was made in just a few visits. Really happy that I came across Kaitlyn on Rover and will absolutely be reaching out to her in the future. The consistency is great for all my fur babies but especially the one that is weary with new people. Thanks for loving on my animals! Clearly an animal lover <3

Lilli and Zachary were wonderfully responsible care takers for our dog and home. Lilli is a prompt, kind, and excellent communicator. Our meet and greet went well, and I could immediately sense we could trust this nice young couple. They provided wonderful care for our 10 year old dog who had never been left alone before (we always had other dogs and in-home overnight care). Initially our dog was a bit shy, according to Lilli, but she ultimately warmed to them and they became fast friends. Lilli’s reports were detailed complete with pictures. I would highly recommend Lilli and Zachary!

About: I’ve had dogs in my household my whole life. I am friendly, reliable, and able to take care of dogs in need of some exercise or some belly rubs. I used to train horses so taking care of dogs is nothin! I am a college student home for the summer and am available most days except Saturdays. I am also pretty flexible so whatever you and your pet need I can help with. Just looking to walk dogs and house sit at your home so I don’t have much equipment, but whatever materials you provide I can work with and take great care of your pet!

I was really nervous leaving my 9 month month old kitty and 18 year old cat at home for 5 days while i was gone, but Rachel was such a wonderful sitter, and provided me with wonderful photos and thoughtful, detailed updates while i was gone that really put my mind at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Rachel really went above and beyond to make sure my cats were well taken care of, played with and happy. She even brought a few toys and treats for them to play with! And my 18 year old cat needed a topical medicine in her ear each day, which Rachel applied to her no problem… meaning my cat really trusts her. I almost think my cats were a little disappointed to see me instead of Rachel opening the door when i got home yesterday haha! Thanks so much Rachel - we will absolutely be in touch the next time we need a sitter!! I highly recommend her :)

About: I’m different from other sitters because I go above and beyond for the families trusting me with their fur babies! I have 6 years of experience with taking care of homes and animals: I am a college student and part time nanny. I baby sit on Tuesdays & Thursdays 10-4 so those two days are unavailable unless you are okay with your pet waiting 6 hours to be let out. I make sure dogs are being let out every two hours. I will be sure to be changing water bowls and follow the owners feeding schedule. I’m pretty laid back so I love just cuddling with dogs and cats while watching tv or doing homework! I am honored to be trusted by families to take care of their homes and pets

Christine has been a favorite Rover representative for us. We are a repeat customer of hers and will continue to call upon her care whenever able. Her sincere concern and care of our shar pei, Tricksy, has been of great relief to us. Christine’s communication is consistent and informative. We feel confident in leaving our unique 10-year puppy with her every time and can recommend her (with enthusiasm) to others.

I appreciated Sydneys prompt response to my initial inquiry and questions/messages. She was flexible on short notice to come to meet us and do a drop in the next day. Followed all instructions (in my way too long note), checked in, sent pictures and all was well with my pup on return. Sydney is nice, mature and trustworthy. She is just starting out on Rover so for just figuring all that out — she was great. Sometimes I look for a lot of reviews but glad I gave Sydney a try for sure. Don’t hesitate — I recommend Sydney and I’ll book with her again!

About: I've been taking care of my own animals since I was 9 and have watched my neighbors and other family dogs ever since, I spend lots of time with the dogs while still working my own job. I love getting to know the dogs! I currently work a part time jobs but will be able to manage my job with playing with your pets and spending time with them while you're away! I care for clients pets by allowing for them to have time to run around, swim (if they like water), and by taking them on nice adventure walks! I also give the pets lots of attention when I'm there!

About: Caring for dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. With 3 years of vet tech experience and 2 years at a doggy daycare, I bring both professional knowledge and genuine love to every dog I care for. I understand dog behavior, medications, and individual needs, and I treat every dog as if they were my own- so you can feel confident your pet is safe, understood, and deeply cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. While I'm currently in school Tuesdays and Thursdays, most of the time I'm home, which gives me open and flexible availability for pet care. I enjoy staying active through walks and hikes, so daily exercise and outdoor time with dogs is something I happily incorporate into my routine. Being home allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention and a calm, caring environment where pets feel safe and well cared for. I care for pets with a calm, loving and attentive approach, whether in my home or a client's home. In my home, dogs have plenty of space to relax and play, including a large fenced-in yard and a comfortable, spacious house. I also live near several forest preserves, which allows for enriching walks and outdoor time when appropriate. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules and medications, and any special needs, to ensure comfort. Because I may be caring for other dogs and I have a dog of my own, I always ask about a pet's temperament and how they do around other dogs to make sure everyone stays safe, happy and stress-free.

About: As an experienced and devoted pet sitter, I take great pride in the unique qualities that set me apart from other sitters. My passion for animals and dedication to their well-being drive me to go above and beyond in providing exceptional care for your furry companions. I prioritize open communication with pet owners, ensuring that they are kept informed about their pets' well-being during their absence. Regular updates, photos, and messages will be shared, so you can have peace of mind knowing your beloved pets are in safe hands. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on your pet’s care. I’m able to accommodate multiple walks throughout the day, including scenic strolls through my neighborhood forest preserve. Whether it’s potty breaks, exercise, or just extra outdoor time, I love making sure pets get the attention, movement, and fresh air they need. When caring for pets in the client's home, I am committed to maintaining the same level of attention and love they would receive in their owner's presence. I follow the pet's routine as closely as possible, adhering to their feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any other specific requirements provided by the owner. During walks, I ensure that dogs are safely harnessed and on-leash at all times, while also being attentive to their surroundings and any potential triggers or stressors. I use positive reinforcement techniques during walks to encourage good behavior and reinforce basic commands. I make it a priority to spend quality time with each pet, showering them with affection and engaging them in playtime to ensure they remain mentally stimulated and emotionally content. Communication with pet owners is vital, and I provide regular updates, including photos and messages, to keep them informed about their pets' well-being and any notable experiences during my care.

I was leaving on a longer vacation and was nervous about leaving my cat alone for more than a few days. Heather immediately took those worries away and cared for my kitty like she was a part of her own family. She provided updates every day with pictures that put my heart at ease. If you are looking for a wonderful, kind, and responsive cat sitter then Heather is your girl! 10/10 :)
