Kelera was great! She played with our cats and gave great updates with photos and videos. I have an older cat that is scared of everything and she did her best to check in on her. Our younger cat was so excited for playing

Jazz was so very awesome. This was the first time we used Rover and she was a definite awesome choice for our cats. We had a video call before to discuss everything and make sure we both knew what was to be expected. I got a text and photos and video of her visit with the cats, so my mind was more at ease. We will definitely recommend and rebook Jazz 😊

Kayla has watched my cats and our family dog for many years and we wouldn’t have anyone else. She is always responsive, kind and our animals love her! She always makes sure she keeps us updated on how our animals are doing and always sends lots of pictures! Kayla is the main reason why we feel comfortable going on vacations because we know our babies are safe and loved!

My partner Cindy absolutely loves dogs. In fact, she is largely responsible for my own fondness for pooches. Whether it's our own dog Jazzy, a neighbor's dog, or any canine with whom she comes in contact, Cindy is always warm and friendly. Dogs love her almost as much as she loves dogs. She talks to, plays with, and walks dogs naturally and enthusiastically. She's also reliable, punctual, responsible. Highly recommended.

About: I have had pets since I was born. Experience with all sized dogs as well as exotic pets! My personal dog is a pit bull named Izzy. Over the summer I work at Brookfield Zo! I am a student with lots of gaps in my schedule to come and take care of pets in my free time. I can always find time for care. I only care for pets on other homes because I am a student. Any specific instructions that the pet needs will be followed closely on a case by case basis.

About: I have two German Shepherds of my own I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15. As a dedicated dog lover with many years of experience, I understand that your pet is more than just an animal, they’re a beloved member of your family. I offer unique blend of care, qualifications and extras to ensure your furry friend will have a great time as you do while you’re away. I believe every dog is special, with their own quirks and needs. That’s why I offer tailored experiences based on your dog’s personality, age, and energy level. I provide the perfect balance of playtime, cuddles, and rest. I'm currently working part time and have plenty of time to care for your fur babies, play with them and meet all of their needs. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs. If at your home I will hang out, play and give your pups all the attention. If you need me to crate your dog or give medication I can do that too.

About: Managed a private dog walking service that served clientele throughout Chicago for over seven years. Well-trusted and frequently called on by clients to housesit and fulfill other errands as needed. I currently have open availability as I take self-paced, online courses through my university. Working for Rover while attending school remotely has given me a great amount of flexibility to make my own schedule day-to-day. I have worked with a variety of breeds from Maltipoos to Alaskan Malamutes, and I can adapt to meet the needs of your pet. I have plenty of experience working with difficult dogs that require extra attention and care, and I’m happy to take on any extra measures you need to feel secure in your choice of dog walker.

Eddie is absolutely amazing with animals! His extensive experience really shows—he’s patient, attentive, and clearly loves what he does. He took excellent care of my Max, making sure they were comfortable, well-fed, and entertained the whole time. I especially appreciated how flexible and communicative he was, giving me updates and photos so I knew my pet was in great hands. I can’t recommend Eddie enough; he truly goes above and beyond!

I’m so happy we were referred to Cindy! Today was the first time she was helped us and my dog turned into a hot mess :) Poor Cindy was just going to let her out for 30 minutes so she wouldn’t be in the crate too long without a break. Instead, due to a serious of minor mishaps our girl caused, Cindy ended up having to clean up multiple messes (in an unfamiliar house no less) and then took her for a walk to calm her down and get her back in the crate without stressing her out. She filled me in on everything that happened and even offered to check on her again before we got home, if we needed. She was so nice despite all the chaos and even complimented our Belle (she’s a handful, but a sweet one!) I highly recommend Cindy!!

Jetoun has been an amazing caregiver for our dog, Fergie. Whether it's letting her out midday while my husband and I are at work, or caring for her for several days or even over a week while we're on vacation, Jetoun always goes above and beyond. Fergie absolutely adores her, and we've never had any issues. Jetoun is responsible, loving, and trustworthy. We highly recommend her—10/10!
