“Three work trips in the last three weeks and it’s so reassuring to know I can rely on Melanie time and time again. My cats love her, even the shy and nervous one, and both are comfortable being around her when I can’t be home myself. Thank you for taking such good care of them, Melanie.”
“It is so easy to leave town knowing Colleen is taking care of my baby girl! Zora is generally a shy cat, but really opens up to Colleen, who makes sure she gets her oral meds, even though she hates it! My go to sitter, so grateful to have her!”
“Kelly was fantastic! I was so worried leaving my kitty for the first time and having someone check in, but I was so at ease with her. The updates and pictures every visit made me feel SO much better and I knew my cat was well taken care of while I was away.”
“This is the second time I’ve used Rhianna to take care of my two cats. They are very shy, but she got both of them out of their shells and they were looking forward to seeing her in no time. She took great care of my babies and I would use her services again!!”
“Jamie is a super star at our house. She watched my old cat for a few days and he instantly felt comfortable around her. I’m definitely booking her services again, and you should too!”
“Yulissa was incredibly attentive with my cat. He unfortunately got sick just before we were leaving on a trip but she was able to give him all his medicine without issues. Highly recommend her to look after your furry loved ones!”
“Ray came prepared with a list of questions and sent us the photos and videos of our cats that help us feel comfortable while we're away. He genuinely acts to help them and us in any way possible. We'll be glad to work with him again!”
“We would definitely use Abby again! We needed a cat sitter last minute and she was very responsive and flexible. She also sent a ton of photos and detailed updates about her visits.”
“Arianna watched my cat for a week while I was out of town and everything went great! I was new to the app and she helped answer some of my questions and worked with me to book the appropriate service at a very reasonable fee. My cat seemed to really like her, and I enjoyed seeing the pictures and comments in the visit reports. Someone also sent me a giant package while I was gone and Arianna went above and beyond by dragging it into my front entrance without being asked. Highly recommend!”

Over 19 pet parents in River Grove have booked cat sitting
River Grove cat parents share their Rover experiences
Robyn stopped in on my cat while I was out of town to feed him. She showed up right on time for all of the bookings and sent me photos / videos each time. By the fourth booking he was greeting her at the door. I know Schneider felt comfortable with her and was a happy camper when I got home from my trip. Robyn showed how much she cared and I would absolutely hire her again. Well worth her rate!
If I could give more stars, I would! The attention and care that she gave our cats was on the level that someone would give their own cats. We felt so comfortable knowing that our cats were in such great hands and appreciate the detailed updates and many photos of our babies. Highly recommend to anyone!
Karolly is so wonderful! This is our 2nd time having her over while we were out and she was just as amazing as the last time. She made sure our little Winona got plenty of love and play every day, and she made sure to share lots of pictures and videos of our cat being a cutie. Our personal vacation had some issues but no matter what was happening we knew things were going well at home with Karolly keeping an eye on our sweet girl.
Ola was a wonderful cat sitter, especially for my older cat who requires special attention and insulin injections. She handled everything with great care and confidence. I truly appreciated her reliability and how comfortable she made me feel knowing my cats were in good hands. Highly recommend! :)
Natalie was an absolute dream! She took great care of Miss Kitty while we were away. She was very communicative during her check-ins and we especially appreciated all of the great photos she sent. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!
Fantastic catsitter! Bari was wonderful with our two wild kitties. They are indoor only (although they would escape if permitted) and she kept them inside and kept up with their adventures as they got into everything - the plants, the cereal boxes, their own cat food. Highly recommend! Great catsitter.
