“Macy was great. She's very friendly and communicative, and it was easy to get in touch with her. She also sent multiple pictures with each update which I always really appreciate.”
“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!”
“I booked Faith for two 30 minute drop-ins while away from home and she would feed, pet, and do litterbox maintenance within an average 20-21 minutes. Thank you for caring for my pretty kitty Luna in my absence! (:”
“Theresa was absolutely wonderful! She was prompt and reliable and so attentive to our cats. Theresa is clearly an animal person and we will book her again in a heartbeat!”
“Joey & Sydney always do an amazing job watching our three cats. We have a senior cat that takes medicine twice daily, a cuddly middle cat, and a young energetic cat!”
“Trey was great, my cat is not the nicest and he was so sweet to her. If she needed space he gave it to her but he still spent time with her so she knew she wasn't alone, which I really appreciate! She is a handful but Trey was fantastic eventually winning her trust!”
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 .
“Nicole was very responsive and good about managing the details of this stay. I have an energetic little troublemaker kitten who I was nervous about leaving for the first time but I was able to enjoy my trip and return home to a happy cat!”
“Madeline was punctual and always quick to respond. She regularly sent me updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. My cats felt comfortable around her right away, which says a lot! :) When I came home, everything was clean and tidy, and the cats were calm and happy. I was very satisfied with her care, and I’m already planning to book her again for my next trip!”
“Alicia is simply amazing!! Great meet and greet session led me to feel extremely comfortable leaving my cats in her care. Alicia was successful in getting my very timid cat to eat all 3 days she checked in and provided me with a great report card each visit. 10/10 would recommend Alicia if you need a fantastic and experienced sitter.”
“My German Shepherd dog fell in love with Tanya at first sight! She's obviously loves animals. Everything went great, will definitely book Tanya again! Appreciated the photos of my dog and cat while I was away!”
“After a great first experience, we immediately looked to see if Ann was available for our holiday travel. She is always great with communication and sending us updates and photos, allowing us to have a worry-free trip. She was also incredibly flexible in helping us when we experienced travel delays due to weather.”
“I needed a cat sitter last minute, and Kenzie responded quickly . She followed all the instructions carefully and sent me photos of my two cats and the outdoor cat she cared for. Kenzie was very responsive and responsible. She went above and beyond by taking care of them. She always showed up on time, and all the cats are doing great. I will definitely hire Kenzie again next time!”
“Danielle was great with my two cats! They loved having her come over and play and just hang out and cuddle. She also came to meet the cats and see how everything was laid out in the house. I will definitely use her again!”

Zhiyue is really a nice pet carer. She responded fast and arrived on time at my home. My cats are afraid of strangers, but I could tell from my camera that they liked her very much. She cleaned the cat toilet and filled the food. Love her and will invite her again!
Theresa is great! Our cats were very well cared for while we were on vacation. Theresa was very attentive and took the time to befriend our more skittish cat so he felt comfortable approaching for attention and affection. We received a detailed check in report with photos every day. We would definitely try to book with Theresa again in the future!

Words can't express how thankful I am for Nina's care of my cats. She was prompt, responsive, gave great feedback, and did really well them. The house was well taken care of and the cats were so happy to have her play with them and feed them. Highly recommend!
