“Rebecca was such a great help while I was gone for a long weekend. I even needed to extend my stay and she was so nice about checking on Finn one more day. She sent the cutest pictures and gave me the reassurance that Finn was in great hands!”
“Norma was wonderful and did a great jobs with my two cats. Kept me posted how they are doing and made feel good knowing they were in good hands. I will definitely use her again in the future to help with my 2 cats. I highly recommend her.”
“Brittany came in as my savior yet again, my sweet kitty got sick right before I left for a short vacation and she was able to squeeze in a very last minute, extra visit to check on him and administer his medication. Normally I would have been a wreck under the circumstances but with Brittany I was confident he was getting the best care. The peace of mind that comes from knowing my babies are in good hands is priceless. Thank you as always Brittany!”
“Kathryn was an incredible caregiver for our fur baby. We were so nervous to leave our new kitten, but she surpassed all of our expectations! She was prompt and reliable. She updated us each day with photos and updates on our baby. She was extremely caring and a true animal lover. I highly recommend this pet sitter. Thank you Kathryn!”
“Michelle did amazing with my animals, I have 4! 2 dogs and 2 cats. She was very flexible when the schedule changed as well. Very easy to communicate with, sent update photos and is very observant with your animals. If you book her, just know your pets are in good hands!”
“Hope was my first Rover booking and I was a little nervous. She helped allay my fears and worked to make. My cats fell at ease. They were well taken care of and miss seeing her already.”
“I read reviews for Haley before we booked our visit and they all seemed to be sparkling, as were her Visits with our two cats. She represents your company very well and is well-spoken, professional and w we’ll be very happy to ask for Haley in the future. 👍💕”
“Tommy and Julie were fantastic this past week. They came over in advance to meet our cats and see what their routine was like. They asked lots of questions to make sure the booking was a good fit for us and them. They were very friendly and responsive while we were gone, they arrived on time every day, brought in packages and mail for us when they were here. They took time and care to feed the cats, clean their dishes and played with them every day. We received daily pictures and video from them as well. Would definitely recommend them and will be using them again as well!”
“Alyssa is dependable, reliable and knowledgeable. We know we can trust her to take the best care of our cats while we are away from home which gives us great peace of mind.”
“Aimee took wonderful care of our dog! Our dog is getting older and she was patient and caring. Aimee provided quality care that reassured me that he was fed and loved. Thank you Aimee!!!”
“Amazing!!! They both did a wonderful job of taking care of my fur babies. They picked up pillows that my bad fur kids knocked down and straightened a few other things. They managed to find their hiding spots and take photos of them during their check-ins. Had a few packages arrive earlier than anticipated and they were gracious enough to bring them indoors. I definitely recommend them and hope they are available when needed in the future.”
About: Ive never not been around dogs! I grew up with Malteses from 0-18 and as soon as I moved away for school I rescued my Husky mix and raised him from 5 weeks old. I’ve cared for many types of dogs, including rescues with troubled pasts, and high maintenance elderly dogs. I spent countless hours volunteering at my local humane society where I encountered & cared for so many animals with their own sets of needs. I’m happy to administer medicine, work on potty training, teaching basic commands, and anything else your pets might need. I do travel 3-4 days out of the week for work and frequently use Rover myself to find care for my dog. I know the struggle of finding and booking a sitter. While I’m only available part time each week, I strive to keep my availability up to date to make things easier for you. Due to my landlord’s rules, I do not offer boarding in my home. And due to me also being a Dog Mom I can’t agree to do overnight stays in your home as then I’d need to find care for my dog. I’m happy to provide drop ins, walks, and checking on your home. As far as care, I love detailed lists! Tell me everything there is to know about your pet, no amount of information is ever enough to share with me. The more details you share, the more I’m able to provide you the best service for you and the level of care that your pet deserves.
“Kimberly was great. Was going to be out of town for a week and could only get a friend to come by a couple days so wanted to make sure my four cats water was topped off and food dispensers kept working properly. Booked Kimberly for three day to drop in and just check on them, their litter and water. Even though they’re wary of new people I think it made a world of difference and she was able to see three of them and confirm they were fine, sending along pictures and a brief update. This gave me a chance to relax on my trip and not stress out. Will definitely use the service and if Kimberly is available, book her again!”
“Francis cared for my cats as if they were hers. She provided photos and updates to keep me in the loop of things. My cats love her, even the one that is fairly skittish. I am a repeat client and will always book with Francis.”

Brookelynn S.
“Brookelynn was great! I think my dog is more excited to see her than he is to see me. I always leave a detailed sheet of instructions for my sitters and Brookelynn is the only one who ever actually follows it. While she’s not available 24/7 for pet sitting I always try to snatch her up whenever she is! She is mine and Simba’s FAVORITE sitter! Can’t say enough positive things about her. So heartbroken that she moved away, but Illinois just got the best sitter ever!!!”
