“Taylor was very responsive and helpful, keeping me posted on changes, updates, and how my pets were responding to her in our absence. I would absolutely use her again on future trips, she was very warm and pleasant, and flexible, when we needed, including changing visits, or pick up times, And that flexibility allowed us to have an amazing family vacation. Thanks Taylor for all you do!”
“Forgot to leave feedback. (Sorry) Second time I used Doreen. July 24th weekend. Always on time and sends pictures of my cat. Very comfortable having Doreen take care of my girls. I have 2 but one hides. Maybe someday she will come out & say hello.”
“In the 2 years I’ve had my cat she has never let anyone other than me pet her, ever. Sarah made friends with her right away and sent pictures every day of May looking calm and comfortable while getting lots of head scratches. Exceeded my expectations by a mile.”
“Giada was truly amazing! She was our first Rover experience and it couldn’t have gone more smoothly! She was not only very kind and friendly, but she also kept us up-to-date with daily check-in updates and photos. We were able to enjoy our vacation fully knowing our cat was in good hands!”

About: I’ve been a house sitter and dog walker for other people for years, while also taking care of family rescues also! Puppies and kitties of all ages and sizes, from Great Danes to French bulldogs! I’m currently studying and applying to graduate school so some fur friends to keep me company are very welcome! My apartment has a pet area and is very pet friendly! My apartment has a pet relief area where the dogs can run around and is very pet friendly with dog treat jars throughout the building! We also have a pet spa for baths if needed!
“Jazalyn is the best! She is extremely accommodating and fantastic with pets she’s only met once! My dog was comfortable with her immediately and she provided plenty of pictures and reassurance while we were away!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 9 years and have regularly volunteered with a local dog rescuer to foster dogs before they find their forever home. I have experience with dogs of all ages and look forward to caring for yours! I work from home most days and generally have the ability to move my schedule around if you need care multiple days in a row. I take frequent breaks for walks or play time with the dogs. I’ve got a large fenced in yard with plenty of room for your dog to run and play in. I’ve also got plenty of room in my house if a crate is needed. I’ll take care of your dog as if he or she was my own.

South Barrington cat parents share their Rover experiences
Evelyn is a god send! She was FABULOUS with our pets. We have a sassy cat and two buns who absolutely loved her! She was prompt on timing and followed all of the directions we had. She met with us before our vacation to meet our furry friends and pick up keys. She sent hilarious updates and pictures. We never had a worry with Evelyn watching our pets. 10 out 10 would book her again.
