“Dustin was available in short notice and able to stop by and visit my senior chihuahua who needed assistance going out for his potty break. I was able to stay at my event a bit longer knowing my boy was get some needed care when I could not be home!”
“Natalie is absolutely fantastic, flexible, and a dream. She's also quick to resound and very communicative with potential issues and loving to my shy and skittish (at first) dog. I couldn't recommend her high enough. 10/5 stars.”
“Beth was fantastic! She was communicative for our whole trip and took really great care of our two kitties. Bonus, she taook better pictures of the kitties than I do!”
“Georgia was great with my dog and cat! They enjoyed spending time with her and were happy to see her walk in the door! Will definitely use Georgia in the future!”
About: ✨Rates are locked in for first time bookings! ✨ My husband and I just bought a house a month ago! So I am finally able to do a long time desire of mine and be a dog sitter/walker. We are just getting started, so in an effort to keep my prices competitive and affordable, anyone who books with me within my first 3 months will be getting locked in rates - Meaning if my prices change, they will always be the same for you as when I first started! I’ve been caring for family dogs for as long as I can remember, and I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and personalities over the years. My first dog of my own is my current little senior Chihuahua. She is a rescue doggie, who I adopted when she was already 3 years old in 2012 - She is now 16 years old! Through caring for her into her senior years, I’ve learned a lot about patience, routines, and understanding individual dog needs. Now that I’m married, we also have a 6-month-old Shiba puppy, and we’ve raised other dogs in the past as well. Because of that, I’m familiar with training basics, potty training, and crate training. I also have experience safely managing unneutered dogs and keeping them separated when needed. Overall, I’m comfortable with both young, energetic pups and older dogs who need a gentler touch, and I treat every dog like part of the family. I work from home so pet care very easily fits into my daily routine and I’m very flexible with being the able to meet each dog’s individual needs! I provide a safe, fun, and comfortable environment for every dog in my care. My home has a fully fenced yard and a garage designed for playtime, giving dogs plenty of space to run, explore, and socialize. I have two friendly dogs of my own who love to play and provide companionship for boarded pets. For dogs who prefer some quiet time or need it for safety, I can crate dogs as needed. Every dog in my care is supervised, and I focus on creating a trusting, stress-free environment where pets feel like part of the family.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, so pet care is second nature! I've been walking, feeding, and loving on furry friends since for the last 15 years. I'm also great at giving meds (even the sneaky ones!) and making pets feel comfy and cared for. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Your pets will be in caring, capable hands. Working remotely gives me a flexible schedule, so I can easily visit pets during lunch breaks or before and after work to give them care and attention. I always prioritize each pet’s safety by following all care instructions closely, from feeding routines to medication and walk guidelines. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I also keep emergency contacts and vet info handy, so I’m fully prepared. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority!
“My second time using Debbie and I highly recommend her. I trust her with my dog and her detailed visit reports and pictures put my mind at ease when I'm gone that my dog is in good hands.”
“Karli was amazing! It was my first night away from my boy Bob and I wasn’t sure how he would feel about it, but Karli visited him multiple times, sent pics and videos, and made me feel so much better about being away. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Hans would get six stars if it would let me! My two cats are always in the best spirits after Hans has looked after them, proof that he does an amazing job ☺️”
“Jaclyn is fantastic! She was communicative, professional, and clearly knowledgeable about both cat behavior and my own cat’s personalities. My kitties both loved her and the little report cards were super cute, her rates were also very reasonable. I would absolutely hire her again for any future trips”
About: Looking to keep your furry friend content and secure while you live your best life! Experienced in puppy and elder animal care, very active and love long walks and hiking as much as a couch potato 🥰 I work full time and looking to supplement my income by doing what I love - spending time with animals! I work remote 3x a week and available mornings/evenings and weekends for drop-in’s and overnights. I have a fenced yard and can set up a crate or play pen as needed. I adopted an 8 week old puppy last December, and she would love to keep your fur baby company when in my care. I have recent experience raising a super young puppy and we have been diligent in training. We assist at puppy training with the younger dogs and mentor them. I am happy to learn your dog’s training routine and incorporate it into the care. I believe the golden rule applies to dogs as well as people - treat your animals the way you want to be treated! This means, lots of snuggles and encouragement, routine feeding, long walks AND adventures, and plenty of stimulation. Im happy to welcome your pup to my space, or come to them to ensure comfort and familiarity.
“Ana is amazing! She is meticulous, goes above and beyond, and truly allows me to enjoy my vacation knowing she’s taking care of my cats. She adores all of my pets and they adore her. The only downside of having Ana watch my cats is they barely miss me while I’m gone 😊 10/10!”
“Michelle was an incredible sitter for my Moo! She’s super personable and kind. She’s very attentive to my pets needs and makes sure he gets a ton of play time in :) she also didn’t hesitate to clean up his mess when he wasn’t feeling well! Definitely very loving with animals and will continue to use her as a pet sitter!”
About: With two years of dedicated pet care experience, I bring a deep love and understanding of dogs to every interaction. I specialize in dog walking, ensuring plenty of exercise and enrichment, administering oral medication with care and attention to detail, and providing basic training to support positive behaviors. As a proud pet parent to two wonderful dogs, I know how important it is to entrust your furry family members to someone who truly cares. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing not just care but compassion, patience, and plenty of cuddles. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, playtime, or ensuring they stay happy and healthy, I’m here to make your dog’s day as joyful as possible. Your pup’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority! I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule! This allows me to drop in to check in on your furry friends, take them on walks throughout the day, or give them my fullest attention when boarding in my home! I have a fully fenced in backyard and two furry friends to provide your companion with some company! I live right next to a dog park to get some movement and exercise in and am able to crate your dog if needed.
“Fantastic service! First time using Rover. Mel stood out from the rest . Glad I chose her. Very happy client and came home to an even happier kitty. Thanks Mel - Your purr-fect.”
About: I have as much energy as your dog! I like to live up to my name as being a ray of sunshine in this world. I also have three years of experience with preschool age child care as well as 5-13 year olds from my time as a camp counselor during school breaks. I am the go to dog sitter for all my friends and family as it’s so well known I love all sizes and breeds of dogs. If we make a good connection, I would love to be a drop in nanny for the right family. I work at a catering company and winter is our slowest season. I work from the warehouse, to event management, to cooking onsite at weddings and events all summer and fall. We have one other slow month in July as well. I can keep up with your baby whether they enjoy playing with toys, or need cuddles and belly rubs. I am an avid walker if your love needs long walks to the dog park or time off leash in an open space. Your pet will get all the positive reinforcement they need with love and treats!
“We were so grateful to have Natalie dropping in on our pup while we were away for a weekend. She was very communicative and Laika loved her. We highly recommend her!!”
South Oak Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Really great experience - Kyra was so great with our cat Rascal. Every drop in visit we got photos and we could tell how content and happy he was. Kyra was super easy to communicate with and flexible to fit our alternate drop-in schedule as we were away for a while. Highly recommend and we will absolutely be looking to rebook in future!
Natalie is the absolute best pet sitter a parent could ask for!! We had a trip during the holidays (12/26-1/4) and asked her to come do daily visits from 12/27-1/3 for our two 8mo kittens. She went above and beyond during her stay. Of course she always feeds them exactly to our instructions and even sends photos of their meals. She also cleans their automatic feeders, dishes, water fountain, and even their litter robot! She also took out the trash from their litter robot and gave it a full wipe down multiple times. On one of the first days of her visits, one of the cats had a #2 accident on the litter rug right outside of the litter box. Natalie cleaned that up for us and told us not to feel bad at all and reassured us that this stuff happens, which really meant so much to us! Not only that, but she went so far as to vacuum and tidy up during her last stay! She is incredibly attentive to any pet/house chores and does so much more than you’d expect from a pet sitter. I think that the most incredible aspect of her care is how she interacts with the cats. Our girls love human interaction and affection, but one of them is very shy with new people. She runs into the cabinet, under the bed, anything to get away from new people in the apartment. During Natalie’s first visits, that’s exactly what she did. But by the end of her visits she was napping with her on the couch and even letting her pet her!! Natalie is the only person in the world other than us who she allows to pet her, it makes me so happy! She put a lot of effort into making her comfortable and letting her go at her own pace and it really paid off. She also takes time each visit to play with them, give them treats, pet them, sit with them on the couch, etc. You can tell the girls love her a lot from all of the pictures she sends during her visits! The one who is less shy lays on her, purrs when they’re sitting together, naps with her. Even our shy girl sits with her on the couch and naps with her. They both make biscuits with her too!! When we came back home, the girls seemed so happy and healthy! She also gives incredibly detailed updates after each visit with a ton of photos! We received 40-70 photos for each visit along with her super thorough updates. This was our second service with Natalie and we would never want to use another sitter for our precious kitties. You can tell she really loves and values all the pets and parents she sits for, even in the way she talks to us about her job, she just loves it and it really shows in how she does her work. If you need a pet sitter for daily visits, house stays, literally anything, Natalie is 100% your perfect sitter. If you are deciding between her and another sitter, she’s your pick! You will come home to happy, well taken care of pets!
Amazing cat sitter! Our cat was very lucky to have Emily looking after them while we out. She was very caring, spent quality time with our cat, and made us feel at ease. Communication was easy and friendly. We truly appreciate her and will definitely book her again.
Delaney is an awesome sitter! I needed to find someone in a relatively short amount of time. Delaney responded quickly and we set up a meet and greet in just a few hours. I'm so happy she was able to come over and hang out with my puppy, Juniper. I'm sure Juniper had fun and I'll definitely reach out again!
Mia was amazing with my dog this past week over Thanksgiving. She gave very specific updates and was always on time. She also followed all the little instructions in order to keep my dogs routine the same while being gone. I would strongly recommend her to anyone!
