“Malcolmn was amazing and made my trip so peaceful. He sent many pictures a day with detailed notes on their day. I really appreciate the job he’s done”
2. Xandi W.
“Xandi did a totally exemplary job on a ten-day house sit with our senior dog with complicated medical requirements and kept us informed about how things were going throughout, including things like following through on our dog's seizure treatment protocol and asking the right clarifying questions. I'd have no reservations about working with Xandi again.”
3. Naylah S.
“Nyla’s was so great caring for my newly adopted dog for a night. He had just had his heartworm treatment and she followed all the instructions completely. Very communicative and cute photos. I hope she’ll come back in the future!”
4. Karolly Z.
“She's the best! My pup loves her and is comfortable around her. She's taken care of him a few times now and I know he's in good hands and is well taken care of!”
5. James D.
“Jim was fantastic with our 1 year old pup! Great updates and communication while we were away. Went for lots of walks and provide amazing care. Will absolutely book Jim again!”
6. Jamie Q.
“Jamie was perfect. She went above and beyond with Bernie. And somehow our place looked better when we got back than when we left. Between this and all of the sticks Bernie got on his walks I'm wondering if witchcraft was afoot! Or maybe that's just the time of year talking and Jamie is simply a great person to hire!?”
7. Kat V.
“Kat was Great! Our pups took an immediate liking to her and she was able to keep up with them the whole week that we were gone. She was very attentive and went over and above the call of duty when it came to walks in colder weather. Kat was also very respectful of our home and upon our return everything was as we left it. Our pups love Kat and we will rebook with her soon. We highly recommend Kat!”
8. Cristian S.
“Cristian was AMAZING! I could not have had a better first experience on rover than with Cristian, hopefully if he’ll have us we WILL be booking him again! Constantly updated us and let us know what was going on with my girl 🐶 she seemed happy in every picture sent! Couldn’t be happier with the service, really went above and beyond”
9. Julie H.
About: Hi there! My name is Julie and I’m a third year medical student and a mom to a 3-year-old cat named Theo. Ever since I had my first pet hamster at the age of 7, I’ve loved hanging out with and taking care of our furry friends. I spent my childhood volunteering in animal shelters and taking care of my aunt’s dog. During my time in medical school, I adopted my cat Theo, who has been the best companion to sit alongside while studying. I have experience in dog walking and dog/cat/house sitting for various friends and clients in the Forest Park/Oak Park area and would love to branch out and meet new furry friends! As a pet parent myself, I understand how anxious it can be to be away from your pets, so I always make sure to send ample and detailed updates with photos while I am with them. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends 💕 I’m currently taking the year off for research and my schedule allows for broad availability. I’m super flexible and happy to work around your schedule! I have a passion for taking care of others, whether they be people or animals! Safety and comfort of your pet will always come first.
10. Aaron P.
“Aaron & Jessica were sitting our dogs Harold & Finn for six nights in our home! They stopped by to meet us ahead of our trip, communicated well leading up to and throughout our trip. The dogs were happy and the house spotless when we returned home. We would definitely work with Aaron & Jessica again and would highly recommend them!”
11. Annie L.
“Annie is always amazing!! She takes such good care of my girls and they are always so happy when she’s with them!! They can’t wait to see you again!!”
12. Christine C.
“Christine is an absolute gem! On incredibly short notice, she stepped in to care for our senior Puggle, Rosie, for over eight hours, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Rosie, who can be a bit picky about new people, warmed up to Christine right away—a true testament to her kind and gentle nature. When unexpected delays kept us out past midnight, Christine went above and beyond by staying later than we originally planned without a hint of hesitation. She truly has a heart of gold and took such wonderful care of Rosie. We feel so lucky to have met Christine and can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and compassionate dog sitter. Thank you, Christine!”
13. Gaby V.
“Gaby was excellent. She was very detailed, kind and went above and beyond to make sure that was taken care of while I was out for a week. Gaby was punctual, asked many questions to get to know Tati better, and was very communicative with me. I had to find a sitter in less than 48 hours and she was very flexible, made time to meet Tati, and the process went super smoothly. She always kept me in the loop and asked questions when needed. I highly recommend Gaby to anyone who is looking for a sitter for their pet.”
14. Gina F.
“Gina was so wonderful! She was so thoughtful and caring and did a wonderful job taking care of our 17 year old needy dog. Highly recommend!”
15. Luis V.
“I would highly recommend Luis for any roles involved with caring not just for animals but people as well. As an individual, Luis is a compassionate, gentle, kind, humble, and genuine soul. As a veterinary technician, he has consistently demonstrated an exceptional level of care and expertise in his work. Caring not only for his patients and making sure they are receiving the best medical attention, love, and care they need, but also comforting the owners and helping them through tough situations. He has a special connection with animals, treating each one with the utmost gentleness and love. He is always putting the needs of others first, ensuring that both pets and their owners feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. His dedication and passion for helping animals, combined with his skills and patience, make him the perfect candidate to look after any animal. I am confident that anyone who entrusts their pets to him will be in excellent hands and that their pets will be able to meet another loving human being. -cris”
16. Angelina O.
“Angelina was stellar. Her love and care of my dog and timely communication while I was away was nothing short of five stars. Highly recommend!”
17. Elise O.
“Elise communicates clearly and punctually. She's friendly and easy to relate to as a human. She's also very good with our (doggy) twins, and demonstrates experience and comfort with dog behavior. She is respectful of our home, home routines, and the twins' routines. Glad to have her to care for our buds while we're away.”
18. Ash L.
“Ash was great. She kept us updated regularly throughout the days we were gone, and stayed with Rolo 24/7 as requested. Rolo had an upset stomach most of the time and she handled it brilliantly. And she left our home spotless.”
19. Alexandro G.
“He kindly accepted a short notice request that we faced due to a cancellation. We were relieved that we Alex managed to come to our apartment in advance that we could introduce our dogs and explain general things we do for them daily basis. Lastly, he updated photos everyday and delivered comments of the situations for the majority days. In summary, we were pleased to met him because he was so kind and passionate to take care of dogs.”
20. Sel G.
“Gisselle was terrific. Clearly loves cats and dogs, and very responsible. On time, kept us informed with cute photos, and took such great care of our two cats. I'd definitely use her again!”
