“This was my very first time booking with Rover and Cassandra did a great job. It definitely put my mind at ease having her take care of our dog while we were away. Thank you!!”
“This was my second booking with Coretta and certainly won’t be my last. Coretta is so great with my cat Furancis and he feels extremely comfortable and happy around her. The updates Coretta provides give great peace of mind as they are detailed and contain lots of photos! I looked forward to the updates she provides as I could tell my cat was happy and cared for while I was away. Communication is always quick and easy. Thank you so much Coretta!”
“Samantha was fantastic! She was incredibly thoughtful and went above and beyond, from keeping our cat’s food area clean to bringing up packages for us. It was a relief to know that he was in good hands while we were away. On top of all that, we loved the holiday photos she took of our cat!”
“Laurel has been great with our dog! Rufio was super happy and she was very prompt with visits, great to work with on scheduling, and very friendly! Plus got some super cute pics of the pup during her visits :)”

“Beverly was super helpful and kind with our dog Oliver. He immediately liked her and she was great at communicating and sending pictures/ updates. Will definitely be contacting her next time we need a pet sitter!”
“Thank you for taking care of Penelope these past 2 weeks. We appreciate all that you did especially your initial visit, bonding with her patiently and gaining her trust.”
“Sinmisola was super responsive and sent photos and/or videos nearly every day I was out of town. I got a daily update too, which was really appreciated. I would definitely book Sinmisola again!”
About: I myself have four pets, one being a senior dog so there's plenty of experience there. She came as a rescue so I'm used to being gentle and working at a dogs pace whether it's sitting with them while they eat or easing them into their kennel. I'm currently a student with classes just twice a week and I work part time remotely, so I have plenty of time to play, walk, and engage with your pets. In my own home, my pets are fed on a schedule, your pets would be fed according to the standards set. Additionally, I keep their spaces clean so if you have a puppy or a senior who can't quite hold their bladder that's something I'm fully prepared for. I also ensure that they get various types of stimulation from walks, to sniff time, to reward based training (if allowed).
“Shakira did an awesome job dropping-in on the two girls while we were away. She kept us up-to-date with pictures and let us know when some special needs arose...went above and beyond to take care of them. Highly recommended...we will definitely look forward to booking her again in the future.”

Cofy W.
“I cannot recommend Cofy highly enough for her outstanding dog-caring services. She is the epitome of responsibility, care, and attentiveness. From the moment we first met, it was clear that she has a genuine passion for animals and a remarkable ability to connect with them. Cofy follows instructions meticulously and is incredibly reliable. Every time Kharter and Lulu see her, they become visibly excited and full of joy, eagerly anticipating the fun times ahead. Even my usually aloof cat has warmed up to her, which speaks volumes about her gentle and kind nature. One of the aspects I appreciate most about Cofy is her proactive communication. Whenever I am out of town, she takes the initiative to provide regular updates, ensuring I have peace of mind knowing my pets are in great hands. I trust Cofy completely with Kharter and Lulu, and I am always confident that they are receiving the best care possible. Her dedication and enthusiasm make a world of difference, and I am so grateful to have found such an exceptional caregiver for my furry family members.”

South Chicago pet parents share their Rover experiences
Georgina was a true saint in a stressful situation! A different sitter that I booked cancelled on me after the visit time was supposed to start, on Christmas Eve. Hours away from home and in a panic, I messaged Georgina to ask if she could come by on Christmas Day - and she got back to me right away and agreed to come feed my cats. She really saved our holiday! She took excellent care of my cats, was incredibly punctual, and even went above and beyond and gave some food to the stray cats I feed outside. Thank you so much!!!
Sinmisola did a great job !!! He took care of our two cats . He came to my house and gave them the medicine they needed twice a day for 5 straight days. He was very gentle with the cats and we felt comfortable with him have access to our home. Because of him we were able to take our vacation with peace of mind. Thanks you so much Sinmisola. We will indeed be using you again on our next vacation.
