Madeline did a super job with our 2 beagles. She is excellent at following instructions and our dogs love her. We appreciate Madeline’s willingness to work on short notice when THREE other Rover employees canceled before even meeting us and our dogs. Madeline proved that Rover employees can be responsible! I would certainly hire Madeline again.

Michelle was great with our pup, Duke! Duke can be a handful and was recovering from surgery while Michelle was here. We thought he might be confused and anxious while we were out. But he took to Michelle right away and was responding to commands before we even walked out the door. Michelle sent us pictures of him calm and snoozing while we were out too. Michelle was on time, personable, and friendly. We plan to book again in the future!

About: I have worked at a veterinary clinic since the age of 16, assisting with appointments and caring for overnight boarders. I am well experienced with dogs of all sizes and ages. It is my dream to become a veterinarian and I am very passionate about the well-being of all animals. I am currently a full time student, so dog walking will take place primarily in evenings. My schedule may change and I will keep it updated on my profile. I offer dog walking services and drop in visits. I am respectful and responsible when it comes to other’s property. I have experience caring for pets professionally and will treat pets and property as if it were my own.

Xiaotong is an amazing cat sitter. She was very communicative and always kept me in the loop with my cats. I left her some written and verbal care instructions which were all followed perfectly. Her rover cards were very detailed and came with plenty of photos. My cats decided to rummage through a couple of my trash bins, something they have never done before. Xiaotong was very understanding, going above and beyond cleaning up after my cats' mess. I would definitely book again!

Highly recommend. My first time using Rover and wasn’t sure what to expect. I usually take my two (older but active) dogs with me on trips, but couldn’t this time. Sarah bonded with the dogs quickly, and then went beyond my expectations in check-ins, providing not just basic care, but giving meds, playing with them, and giving me the reassurance I needed.

Nefeli took excellent care of my kitty Ooma. She also followed instructions to the T with care and was a great communicator. Ooma is very shy and nervous at first with new people and will often hide, but she really took to Nefeli from the beginning and spent time with her during her check ins. That says a lot.

About: I have two friendly cats and backyard chickens. I have had cats and dogs for most of my life. I go trail hiking at local forest preserves and state parks 2-4 times a week and would love to take your dog with me! I only have one dog guest at a time (unless they are from the same home) so I can give them lots of care and attention and provide you with regular updates and photos. You will know your pet is being well looked after. My goal is to make your pet feel like it is on a fun vacation while you are on a fun vacation. Nothing makes me happier than dogs I've cared before, coming back and pulling on their leash to come into my house on their next visit! I only work half-time so I have plenty of time for pets. I know how important your pet is to you and I'm very responsible. My dog guests are walked at least three times a day including a walk or hike of 30 minutes or longer. They are also able to use my fenced in backyard when the chickens are locked up for the night .

Olivia was attentive to our cats needs during the drop-in visits and exceeded our expectations of care. Another major bonus is that Olivia was respectful and caring of our private space. This meant a lot to us as this was our first time allowing a “stranger” to pet sit for us.

My cat is ordinarily very skittish around strangers, but Joey and Sydney have totally won him over. (I'm beginning to suspect that he likes them better than he does me). I will definitely book them again in the future.

Holly did a great job taking care of our two cats Cumin and Paprika. We've only had them for a couple of weeks and they are still shy and skeptical towards strangers. Holly did everything she could to make them feel safe and relaxed, which we really appreciate. We will definitely work with her again!

David was incredible!! This is my first time using Rover and being away from my girl since I adopted her, so I was very nervous about leaving her and didn’t exactly know the process on Rover. David was extremely caring, knew exactly how to ease my worries, sent the best pictures, and was an amazing communicator. I was confident knowing my cat was in the best hands while I was away, and I will definitely be booking again!

Excellent first Rover experience! We were a little apprehensive to leave our girls, especially our older cat Blackberry with medical conditions, with someone through a website, but we were extremely pleased with the quality-of-care (and cute photos!) Michelle provided. Our directions were followed exactly and all three of our girls very happy and healthy when we returned. We would absolutely book with them again!
