“I adopted Lucy (4 year old Great Dane) in June 2025. I was hesitant to ask a Rover to look after such a big dog, but Dustin immediately assured me that he was familiar with large breeds. Our first meet-and-greet went amazingly! She took to him instantly and he went out of his way to make sure she knew she could trust him. I booked him over Thanksgiving and Christmas because I had to travel. I couldn’t be more thankful for him making himself available to help me out. He showed up reliably (despite celebrating his own holidays) and has been accommodating to my chaotic requests. A true saint and dog lover.”
About: I've been a pet owner and animal lover my whole life! I grew up with both cats and dogs, and have experience volunteering in animal shelters and watching friends' pets. I currently own both a dog and cat, and am happy to take care of both. I understand that pets are family and I'll treat them like my very own. My current job gives me very flexible work hours, and I can easily accommodate last-minute requests. I will provide a calm, reliable, caring experience for your pets. My current job provides me with a very flexible schedule during summer months. I can work most hours of the day (mornings, afternoons, evenings) and am more than happy to book any last-minute requests for sitting or walks. I have a car so I can easily drive to clients' homes for walks, check-ins or overnight stays. I have experience running my own small business, and I understand the importance of organization, communication and reliability with my clients. I love animals and getting to know them, and I will take care of your animals as if they're my own.
“Samantha was a joy to work with. She was so kind and took such great care with Boo. We are so sad that she is moving out of the area and wish her the best of luck in all her endeavors! Thank you, Sam!”
“Erika was fantastic! She took such great care of my dog and sent awesome pictures! She communicated extremely well and was very reliable. Tito can’t wait to see her again! Can’t recommend Erika enough!”
“Jazmin was a great pet sitter for my baby girls while I was away on a last minute business trip! She was super attentive and had excellent communication when she came to visit. Definitely recommend booking if you need someone to swing by for a few days!”
“Emily was very accommodating in my date change requests, she also helped right my yard after the hurricane blew through. Nefi enjoyed her play and being spoiled too! Recommended!”
“I couldn’t be happier with how well Karli takes care of my sweet Bobby boy. I can travel with ease knowing I will get photos and videos and updates about their time together! I love how much she plays with him and cares, it truly makes a difference. Best sitter around! 😊”
“Andee was great with our dog! Super friendly and very attentive; the pictures we received during the dog sit made us smile so much. Highly recommend, and will use her again if we ever go back out of town.”
“Ana is a true gem. I’m so glad I chose her from the start. She is extremely professional, conscientious, caring, and communicative. One thing I love is how she puts a soothing YouTube video of “doggy slumber time,” that plays lullabies, when she leaves. When I check my camera later, my dog is sound asleep on the couch. It’s so cute.”
“Alma was great caring for my cat! She spent time sitting with her and petting her, which is what my cat needs. She also kindly did all the little extra things I asked like watering plants. I would hire her again!”
“Hans is the very best! You cannot ask for a better person to take genuine care of your pet. We so appreciate his wonderful communication and fantastic photos of our Tucker!”
“Elisa was a pleasure to work with and attentive to my cat, Roger. She was prompt for her drop in, sent me a text when she arrived (in addition to checking in through Rover), and completed all the tasks needed. She was friendly, professional, and kind. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again or recommend her to other pet owners.”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! Even tho I am new to the rover app I’ve been the go to pet sitter for friends and family for about 7 years now . I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! I am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I am mostly available Monday / Thursday after 6 pm , and fully available Friday / Sunday for boarding or drop ins , but could most definitely accommodate different times I currently don’t have any puppy’s of my own . I have a fenced yard for your puppy to play and explore and I also live blocks away from 2 separate parks where we could go on walks
South Oak Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Delaney has been our go to pet sitter for a while now. She is always very responsive in all messaging and takes great photos and notes with updates on how our kitties are doing while she is there. Definitely puts my family at ease knowing that they are so well cared for when we are away.
Hilda was great! She was very responsive and very punctual with our check ins. My cats felt very comfortable and safe with her, and she shared great pictures and updates of the care she took of them. I will absolutely reach out to her again whenever I’m out of town!
1000/10 Ana went above and beyond. She was very detailed daily with the house visits and it was truly such a pleasure to have her watch my babies! She even helped with my rats/bearded dragons & i am sooo grateful. She cleaned litter boxes, water plants & brought in my mail which is so kind because I didn’t even ask her too 🥹❤️🔥. I’m not even home yet & I can already tell from the pics they loved her. Defiantly a huge comfort knowing I can trust her & will be rebooking asap!!
Emily was an awesome cat sitter for our two week vacation! She was a great communicator, quick to respond, and always kept us updated with lots of photos and videos. It’s always hard leaving our cats for that long, but Emily gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were cared for, loved, and getting plenty of attention while we were away. We’re so grateful we found her. 10/10 would recommend, and we will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!
It's clear the amount of care and undertanding Jandy has of animals with the way she interracted with my cat. Not only does she spend significant time getting to know them and ensuring the human that their fur baby is in good hands, she also built my cat a blanket fort for enrichment while I was gone. It was very sweet and I know my cat was in good hands.
Aimee was wonderful! She cared for mine and my husband’s two cats while we were away. One of our cats is known for not being so friendly towards strangers, but she took to Aimee right away, which gave me a lot of reassurance. She provided excellent care for our cats and I hope she is available again next time we need a sitter.
