“Booked Arianna again! She made me feel so much more comfortable leaving my fur baby, Astro seems to be just fine getting spoiled by a new friend! So sad she is leaving town, she will be missed!!”
“This was our second time having Mae watch our pets while away for the weekend. Great communication, lots of pet pictures, and our apartment was clean and tidy when we got back. Thank you!”
“Ali did a really great job watching both my dog and apartment! She is very kind and responsible. I would highly recommend her for any services you may be considering!”
“The world needs more Emmas! Emma is simply the best. From the moment we connected with her, she was incredibly responsive and consistently demonstrated professionalism and a genuine commitment to what she does. Our dogs absolutely loved her! She kept us regularly updated, which brought us so much peace of mind while we were away. Knowing that someone so dedicated was caring for our furry family members made all the difference. What truly stood out was Emma’s proactive nature—she offered to help us with a situation we hadn’t even anticipated. That level of care goes far beyond what you typically expect when trusting someone with your pets. Emma went above and beyond in every way. I wholeheartedly recommend her. The world would truly be a better place with more people like Emma.”
“Jess was amazing with my pups! Very timely about visits and understanding of their needs. One of my dogs can be a bit of a grouch and Jess gave him the time and space he needed to warm up to her and he quickly came around to wanting her attention. Lots of updates and pictures, very comforting all around. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Jamie was great and very easy to work with. She was on time and clearly got along with Zelda and was communicative throughout the booking process and during the day where she dog-sat. Zelda was in a good mood when I got home and clearly enjoyed the company.”
About: For the past ten years I’ve worked in the area as a veterinary assistant and also have experience in dog daycare and grooming. I enjoy developing relationships with pets and their humans! Being a home away from home is an huge honor to me. I am currently available during weekdays for daycare. I have a great space at my home and neighborhood to keep your dog company for the day. I am now doing pet sitting from my home and able to stay at your home. Whatever your pet is most comfortable with! I have a fenced in yard and my own dog that would love to play. I also have a great neighborhood to explore with your pet. The latest pick up time is 6:30pm but can accommodate if something comes up.
“Angie is the absolute sweetest and took amazing care of my sweet boy Rudy. I came back to a spotless house and a happy pup. She was very communicative,l and sent lots of good pictures. I could not ask for more. I would not hesitate to work with Angie again in the future.”
“Anna was wonderful! Communicative, friendly, professional, kind, and a tidy house guest. She gave us peace of mind our pack was in capable hands while we were away. Thank you Anna!”
“Courtney was the perfect dog sitter! She watched our Roxy for 10 days while we were on vacation during a huge winter storm. Even though it was negative temps she still tried to walk her and she played in the snow with her and just gave her all the love.”
“Bridgette was awesome! Our house was super tidy when we got home and our pups were happy and well cared for. We are looking forward to having her sit for us again and I know the pups will be happy to see her, too!”

“Dwayne took care of my crew while attending to family business in another state. It was clear from the start what a great animal lover he is as my big dog immediately wanted to be besties. He got my little guys to warm up to him and sent lots of pics of them smiling. He was attentive in every way. He’s a terrific human and clearly takes great pride in his services. I would highly recommend him and will definitely be contacting Dwayne again for future needs. Do not hesitate to book with Dwayne!”
South Side pet parents share their Rover experiences
Arika is a professional and wonderful pet sitter. I have a senior dog with several health issues and a cat with a cat personality, and Arika took excellent care of both of them while I was out of town. She sent me plenty of photos and updates and left my apartment very clean. Most importantly, my pets were in caring and very capable hands. I am thankful to have found Arika for pet sitting needs.
I appreciate Ryan, excellent care of our 2 girls; Rhylee and Bailey got their daily walks, I prefer having them taken care of in our home with over 4 acres to run, their own kennel outside, their own room for their beds and feeding area. Dogs were happy, house well cared for, Ryan is so easy to work with. Good with communication, pays attention to detail. Will use again! Best part? Peace of mind!
Arianna was fantastic! She was so kind and easy to communicate with both before and during her stay. She made sure to take the time to get to know both of my dogs and happily put up with their eccentricities. We were so grateful to receive so many pictures and updates during our trip. We would definitely book with Arianna again and recommend her to others!
Alisha was a fantastic cat sitter/house sitter while I was away! She was very communicative about my two shy cats and made sure that they were well taken care of while also giving them their distance and letting them warm up to her. She is so kind and personable, as well. I’ll absolutely try to book with Alisha again in the future!
Jess was very dependable. Our dog is a little old and set in his ways and Jess was patient with him. She was able to get him moving while we were gone even though he had just met her. We especially appreciated how well she kept us informed about our dog while we were away. We will call on Jess again and recommend her to others.
Kristen was a lifesaver for my household when I had to extend my trip due to a family emergency. She didn’t hesitate to continue house-sitting since it worked for her schedule. I was able to easily focus on my family knowing that my two cats were safe and comfortable in Kristen’s capable care. She is responsible and communicative, even watering a houseplant that she noticed was parched. I will happily continue working with Kristen whenever I need my cats looked after!
Barb was excellent! She accepted our request quickly and took the time to come over and meet us, our dog, and walk through the house/stay plans. She was so kind to our dog and understanding of the little quirks we were worried about. She kept us updated while we were away and sent pics. We came home to a very calm and safe dog which is every dog parents dream. We are so thankful for her kindness and expertise.
We recently moved to the area and was nervous on finding a new sitter for our three pups. We found Genna on Rover and set up a meet and greet prior to scheduling. The pups immediately approved of her and so did we. She asked all the right questions that made us feel at ease. Genna stayed at our house, while attending school and working during the day, all while keeping our pups on their daily schedule. She provided daily updates along with pictures. Genna treated our pups as if they were her own. We highly recommend Genna for your pup sitting needs. She took care of our babies and our home.
