About: I have always cared for the cats of my neighbors in Chicago, let alone other cats. Since my young adult years, I always have had cats and have been learning how to care for them from personal experience, reading online, and visiting vets as well as volunteering at shelters in Chicago over the years or supporting fundraisers! I am available nowadays to care for your pet at my home for a short period of time. Or I could visit your home! I am aware of territory adjustments and super careful about health issues. I have experience working with children and understand how important it is to supervise and engage with pets all the time! Also, it is important to pay attention to them in terms of health and behavior and provide a healthy routine of meals and clean litter boxes, among other things.

An amazing cat sitter! It’s clear how much she truly loves animals, and they love her back. Even our very shy and unsociable kitty fell in love with her at first sight, which was a huge surprise to us. We’re so grateful for her care, kindness, and attention.

T’Wanna was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure that my cat had plenty of company and lots of pets and cuddles. She communicated well with me each step of the way letting me know how much food he had eaten, she replenished the water in the litter and let me know how he was doing overall. It meant so much that she spent so much genuine time making sure that my cat was comfortable and well cared for during her drop in. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking her again

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, including active and strong working breeds. I focus on creating a safe, structured, and stress-free environment while making sure every dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, crate routines, basic obedience reinforcement, and handling energetic dogs with patience and consistency. Pet parents can expect dependable communication, regular updates, and someone who genuinely treats their dogs like family. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine come first. A typical day includes structured walks, playtime, exercise, water breaks, feeding according to your instructions, and plenty of attention. I keep a calm and clean environment while making sure each dog gets the right balance of activity and rest based on their personality and needs. I’m especially comfortable with active and strong breeds, so dogs that need confidence, structure, and engagement are in good hands. Whether your pet needs a relaxed companion, exercise, or consistent care while you’re away, I aim to make the experience stress-free for both you and your dog. You’ll receive updates, photos, and quick responses throughout the stay so you always know how your dog is doing.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, and make it my priority to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or sticking to your pet’s routine, I’ll provide the same care and attention I’d want for my own pets. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with different personalities and energy levels. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is in good hands. As a Division I student-athlete, I have basketball practice Monday through Thursday until around 1:30 p.m., which makes me available for afternoon, evening, and overnight pet care during the week. My weekends are completely open, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care. I enjoy staying active, so whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply needs companionship, I’ll make sure they receive the same love and attention I give my own pets back home. Since I currently live in a dorm, I’m unable to provide pet care in my own home. However, I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment. I treat every home with the utmost respect by keeping it clean, organized, and exactly as I found it. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, make sure they feel safe and comfortable, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing both your pet and your home are in good hands.

Im a first time user of the Rover app and was extremely nervous, to trust someone with my dog! Carmen eased every fear. She extremely patient, compassionate and detailed oriented. Chloe can be a real sour patch, yet she took on the challenge & Chloe loves her now. 10/10 definitely recommend & would book again. THANK YOU So much for a great first experience.

Maya took great care of both my indoor and outdoor cats while I was away. She was in regular communication with me about whether or not the cats were visible during her drop-ins, as well as how open they were to getting some rubs and TLC. She even brought my dumpsters back into my yard on trash day and made sure packages delivered to my home made it safely inside. Maya is a sweetheart and I absolutely plan on having her care for my babies for my next extended out of town trip!

Megan took care of our cat regularly for two weeks, and we couldn’t be happier with her help. Our cat has a very sassy and cautious personality, but Megan managed to win her over, which honestly says a lot. She was able to pet her and even got her to play, which is not easy at all. We are very grateful to Megan for her care, patience, and reliability. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our cat was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter.

Emily is truly amazing; she did drop-ins on my cat for a little under 2 weeks. My cat is typically on the shy side when it comes to meeting new people but Emily took her time to get to know him. Emily provided a lot of pictures and was quick to respond to any questions. I came home to a clean space and happy pet— I’d definitely recommend her services!
